Little Judith, the eight year old daugh.
Christian Advocate, Des Moines, Iowa, on
learning that her special playmate, a child
OF her own age, had taken the whooping
cough, took bottle of medicine, which
had cured hcr of troublesome cough, and
went over and said: "You must take this
medicine; il will do you good.n Mr.. Mul.
lineaux was curious as to the result and
on making inquiry learned that the little
neighbor, who had been unable TO rest at
night, had been greatly relieved In that re-
spect. The paroxisms we're neither so
frequent, severe or enduring. The cough,
under the genial action Of this admirable
remedy, was loosened. The medicine
liquifies the mucus and enables the suf-
ferer TO throw II of. The attack In tho
beginning gave them every evidence of
being severe attack of whoopiDg cough.

Hay for Horses,

Professor Henry is credited with say
ing that ten pounds of hay is sufficient
for horse literally fed on grain. AS a
rule horses consume much more hay
than is best for them or profitable for the
owner. The practice of filing hay chute
or deep manger with large amount Of
hay and allowing the animal to eat at
will should be avoided. With little ex-
perience ascertain the real needs Of the
animal, and keep him to that.

Indeed II was a genuine case; but this

Tho Iron Jawed Man.

Here is a picture of John Whitman, or
Ajax" as he terms himself, the champion
teeth litter of the world. He is a man with
jaws of iron, and his feats are marvellous.
For example, he thinks nothing of lifting
250 pounds with his teeth and swinging It
about with almost the ease that q cat dis
plays in shaking a mouse.

He began wrestling in 1884, and has com
peted In no less than eighteen tourna-
ments, Cornish style, open to all comers,
and easily carried off first honors on each
occasion. He has also won thirteen
matches against the very best heavy
weight wrestlers of England and America.
He reached the summit of his ambition
and created genuine surprise in sporting
circles when he lowered the colors of Jack
Carkeek, in match for the Cornish style
championship at Ishpeming, Mich, Aug.
SS, 1890 He again proved his superiority
over Carkeek on Dec. 49, King has also
downed the English champion, Charley
Green. The Michigan gladiator states
that he stands ready to wrestle anyman

mixed styles for not less than $500 side

1t is very evident that a dentist would
have to use a stump machine or blast of
dynamite If he wished to extract one OF
Whitman's molars. But the story Of his
prowess is incomplete without a descrip-
tion of another of his feats. He will put a
strap between his teeth and allow four
men to pull on the strap in one direction
while four more seize him about the waist
and pull in another. They invariably get
tired before Whitman does. This wonder

Jack King, the young gladiator of Iron
Mountain, Mich, has brilliant record an
a Cornish wrestler. King, who is in his
twenty-fourth year and weighs 1876 pounds
in condition, is grand specimen of ath-
letic manhood, and his wonderful strength
has been very great factor iu winning his

To the Editor of "Tke St. Croin AUis''
Dear Sir,

wv 1U'V'
Dear Sir,
Yesterday we had a collection in our
Church for the benefit of the sufferers i'll
the recent gale in Martinique. There are
very many, | am sure who would give some
thing in such a case as this, if only they
knew where to send it. Allow me, therefore,
to say that l shall be glad to receive any
money that may be sent to me for that pur-
pose, and to forward the same with what |
already have.
1t is now some time since the terrible
disaster occurred, and up to date | have not
heard of any public subscription list. This
fact, coupled with the further one that
sympathy isapt to grow cold and feeble with
lapse of time, must be my sole excuse for
troubling you with this letter.
May | venture to express a hope That
many will give in proportion to their thank
fulness that our little island escaped, and
that st. Croix will still retain her name for
generosity
Yours very sincerely,
R. JOHN E. SCOTT,
Rector of st. Pauls @ h&rck.

LONDON, Doc. 1l.--li the rural con.
ference which opened yesterday in
London represented with absolute
fidelity, tho spirit OF the agricultural Gle.
mont OF Great Britain, tho country
would bc on tho eve OF n social and
political revolution. No asselnblagc OF
supposed representative men ever
held in England has displayed
such envcnomed hostility TO par
sons and land owners. Delegates
boasting themselves as persistent
parson fighters and doaouncing squire
tyrrany were chccrcd to tho echo, and
their scoraful illusions to tho patron.
izing Mrs Of the clergy towards rural
inhabitants were keenly rclisliod. The
conference, while indicating clearly and
actively m existent force to 6c ac-
counted within the coming elections,
owes its grcntcstimportance TO its fore
shadowing tho future agricultural pol
icy. When the spirit OF tho delegates
permeatos tho electorate the hereditary
privileges OF landordis,n and churchism
will vanish. 1.l5,iu ',a
Mr.. Gladstone's speech to-day was a
distinct disappointment, many dele
gates expecting that definite assur-
ance in regard to the liberal pro-
gramme would be declared, and would
include some OF their aspirations.
MIR. Gladstono's allusion TO tho lin
itation OF his physical powers and his
sensibility OF the disadvantages in
which his party was placed, owing to
his advanced years, caused renewed
emotion among his hearers. There
were many cries Of "No, no, you will
have n long lie yet" etc.
Mr.. Gladstone and his wife will start
on their trip on Tuesday morning and
will reach Paris "Wednesday evening.
His medical adviser, Sir Andrew Clarke,
insists upon perfect rest. Mr.. and Mrs.
Gladstone proceed from Paris to Biar-
ritz OH Wednesday.
The cabinet held a prolonged coun-
Gil to-day. and will not meet again un-
til the new year, when thcywill prepare
lor the opening OF parliament. The ar
rangements for the marriage oil the
Duke OF Clarence and Avondale were,
it is understood, discussed in the cabi-
net to-day. The Prince OF Wales will
himself publicly announce the day
when the marriage has been definitely
fixed.
Mr.. Gladstone and vile called at NIarl-
borough house to-day to extend their
congratulations on tho bctrothul.

No conclusion had been reached this
this afternoon with respect to any OF
the committees or tho policy to be
pursued as regards their composition.
1t is probable that when the house

LONDON, Dec. ll.-This is the fifth day
OF the trial divorce case brought by Miss
st. John, tho actress, against her lus-
band, Duplancy Alarius. Tho so,nc
actresses aud actors who have grncod
tho court since the trial began were
present in their usual seats. The up.
pcarance in tho witness box OF Mr., Ar
thur Cohen, whose namo Is linked in
an unpleasant manner with that OF Miss
St. John, is looked forward 10 with in
tcrcst, 1t is not known positively that
he will be called, but should hc be put
on the stand, it is believed that his tea-
timony will bo such US to interest even
the most L'dsc OF tho audience. The
cub.witnesses, If they may so bc called,
are, as rule, listened to with languid
interest, for their evidence is not su,ii-
ciently "spicy" to excite thoir curiosity.
There WAS an exception to this rule
to-day, howovOr, and the crowd OF
listeners .pricked up tlioir oars and
leaned forward in thoir seats to catch
every word said by tho witness. This
witness was q house.maid named
Hubble, who, OF course, like all girls
employed in that capacity, had watch.
ful eyes on their lnistrcss's action. She
was called by Mr.. Gill, counsel for Mr..
Marius, and hor appearance was some
what in the nature OF 4 surprise 10
Miss St. John, who did not regard her
with my great degree Of liking In
fact the Testimony OF this housemaid
bore rather heavily against the pretty
actress.
The witness testified veryplainly that
she had seen Miss st. John and Mr..
Cohen together under suspicious cir
cumstanccs. Among the endeaylns cpl
thets applied to her by Miss st. John
was that Of "damn fool." The audi
ence concluded IRON the manner in
which the witness gave hor testimony
that she was not ut NIL reluctant to get
square with Miss st. John.
The next witness called was q thoat-
rical dresser named Bruce, who was
employed at the Gaictr Theatre. The
witness testified that she Ind soen Co
hen 60 into Miss st. Johns dressing
room where he had remained for half
an hour with tho actress. During his
visits tho door Of The dressing room was
closed.
Mr.. George Edwards, the lessee md
manager OF the Gniesy Theatre, testified
that hc had never seen anything i'm
proper between Miss st. John and Mr..
Cohen.

FAInMoSr, W. Va, Dec. II l.-To-day's
lndcr has the following oil news from
tho Marion county field:
Tho rig OF the South pcan's Z. a.
lilackshere No. ., is being built. Tie
Elaggy Meadow Oil Company, NIorgan's
No. z, will start as soon us the boiler is
placed. Tho Burt Oil Company will
drill their No. ii to tho fifth sand in tho
near future. This well Is situated OH
the bank above the much talked" Swamp
Angel" The Littlcton well is being
run as n mystery, and some big hust.
ling Is being done for leases.
Tho Flnggy Meadow Oil and Gus
Company had q meeting at their Office
Saturday, and clcctsd A. J. Montgomery
president; IL. Prichard, secretary and
treasurer, and John Worshington, G. L..
Smith and A. j. Montgomery directors.
The South PENIS Eddy No. l, Fairvicw.
came in the first OF the week, and is
making 500 barrels. oG
Asa general thing the oil business is
very flat in this county Mt this time.
Tho low price OF oil, namely, titty.nine
and sixty cents, is not conducive to ac.
tive operations. The production OF the
Mcdonald field is rapidly decreasing,
and after that blows over tho West Vir.
ginia territory will be in demand. We
will be getting oil in paying quantities
in Marion county when tho great pro
duction OF Mcdonald will be forgotten.
The new development in Tyler county
and the success at Li.tleton and OH
State Fork in this county almost leads
one to believe that oil cnn be found III.
most anywhere in this state. Hereto.
fore VIC have only found oil in the Big
Injun sand in this county, but this
spring other sands will be tested. The
Burt Gil Company with its usual enter
prise intends to drill one OF their wells,
which is a poor producer in the Big
1njtm, to tho Gordon and If that sand
is dry will go to the fifth sand. This
will ltcstprettywell the Mannin.ton field.
Tho South Penn Company will this
spring test the Gordon at tho Toothman
well, on Plum run. ii either OF these
tests shouldprove successful it will add
new life to the business, and its
activity will again appear in the spring.
The Big 1njun has proven good enough
and moro wells will be put down. The
oil business in this county has come to
stay, and while it may never again as
sumo such excitement Gs it did last
year, yet it will continue for years to be
one OF the greatest industries Of the
county, ~ ~ a.H
