The Danger Signal.

When nature raises the flag of dis
tress n the shape Of sores, ulcers,
boils, pimples and blotches, the sig
nal should be promptly needed. AS
cities threatened with disease are dis
infected, so should the human
system be treated. No more pow
erful or more successful disin-
fectant and purifier than S. S. s..
has ever been discovered. 1t has ac-
complished wonderful results, and
there are thousands of people in this
country today who regard the
proprietors of S. S. S. as benefactors.
What it has already accomplished it
will continue to accomplish. 1t is
already established as a staple family
medicine.

OUR neighbor, the Era, gleefully
quotes and endorses one of the Amer
leans latest editorials on the silver
question, to show that it is right and
everybody holding different views on
this question are wrong. In the
mess of scrambled Democracy and
Allianceism which the American
helped to serve on the State last year
that paper got SO much hesmeared
that it has been a little difficult ever
since to clearly discern its true posi-
ton on any question. While claim
ing to hold unreservedly to the free
coinage fad, it has frequently given
expression to views entirely incon-
sistent with that measure. Here is
a sample Of the Americans argu-
ment in the article which the Era
quotes:
"When the Government ceased to
coin silVcr-Ceased to call it dollars
it ceased to be dollars; and the
American holds that if the Govern.
ment would coin every ounce of sill.
Yer brought 70 its mint and 'call il
dollars the dollars would be a. good
money as gold"
The mere fact that the American
and the Era, hold these views en-

WE WARN our good friend of the
Tullahona Guardian to be very care
full not to clip any more editorials
from the New Era and give the
STANDARD credit for them. The
little item on which the Guardian
made this slip last week was harm
less, but as regards the majority of
of our neighbours late editorial ex-
pressions, we would feel like taking
a shot gun to any man who would
accuse us of uttering them.

THE extra session Of the General
Assembly will in all probability adj
journ today or Monday. A peniten-
tiary bill passed the House Thurs
day, providing for joint legislative
committee to take options on from
5000 to 10000 acres of coal lands, on
which to build new prisons and work
the convicts, to make contracts with
railroad companies to provide trans
portation facilities, and to formulate
their action into a report to the next
regular General Assembly. Should
the Senate concur in this bill, it will
put the penitentiary matter in shape
for the next regular session to do
something with it. We consider this
the best bill which has been offered
in the extra session on the peniten-
tiary question, and hope it will be
enacted into law before the session
adjourns.

A CONVENTION of Alliance repre-
sentatives opposed to the sub-treas-
ury, land loan and third party
schemes, assembled in st. Louis on
Tuesday last. The result of the
meeting will probably be the organi-
cation of new Alliance, eliminating
the political heresies into which
Macune, Polk, Mcdowell, ct al,
have led the order. Such an organi-
zation as is contemplated by this St.
Louis meeting would soon absorb the
best elements of the Alliance, and
can be productive of great good to
the farmers if the leadership is kept
free from designing, place-hunting,
inscriptions politicians. DR.. M.

Murfreesboro, together with several
members of the General Assembly,
are in attendance upon the conven-
ton from Tennessee.

Trout Frv Ready for DELIVERY.

NEW YORK, Nov. 27.-AppIication for
trout fry to be delivered from the State
hatcheries next spring are already COM
ing in. Application blanks can be OBJ
tanned by writing to Edward P. Doyle,
clerk of the board, room Sc, Fulton Mar
ket Bank Building, this city. The COM
missioners have now completed their
new car for carrying fish, and will next
year make free delivery of fry at any sta
ton on the Ontario & Western Railway
direct from the car. The car is complete
in all its appointments for the trans
portation of fish, and will carry at one
time 600, 900 fry. This will be a great
accommodation to the people interested
in stocking the streams, and will do
away with all the expense they have
heretofore had to bear in going to the
hatcheries for the fish, and al SO for the
transportation. We are advised that
the commissioners have arranged for a
large output of fry this year, and it is
hoped that every body interested will
send in their applications early.

LIFE SAVING SERVICE.

Embarrassment Under Which 1t Labors
Owing to designations of Trained Men,
WASHINGTON, Nov. 27.-The annual
report of Superintendent KimbalI of the
life-saving service shows as follows: At
the close of last fiscal year the establish
ment embraced 238 stations, 178 on the
Atlantic, 48 on the lakes, II on the Pa
cifc, and l on the Ohio at Louisville,
KY. The number of disasters to docu-
mented vessels within the scope of sta
ton operations during the year was
331. There were on board these vessels
3, lat persons, of whom 3, 105 were saved
and AZ lost. The number of ship
wrecked persons who received succor at
the stations was 551, to whom 1915
days relief in the aggregate was re-
ported.
The cost of the maintenance of the
service during the year was $94O, 2O1.
The saving of imperilled property was
proportionately greater than in any
former year, with a single exception.
The general superin tendent invites at
tention to the embarrassment under
which the service labors owing to the
frequent designations of trained men,
who leave the service for better COM
pensation at less hazardous vocations.
He says that this exodus of experienced
surfmen, shown in the last report to
be more than 80 per cent, has con-
tinued during the past year, and it is
obvious that, unless speedily checked,
the efficiency of the corps will be seri-
ously impaired. Many who would
otherwise leave are retained by the
hope of better wages in the future, ex-
cited by former recommendations, and
by the merits of the case which they
think ought to be apparent. 80;

Gompers of the American Federati ton of

cent Harrison that he will investigate
the circumstances in the case of the two
american seamen who have been con-
nned In the prison here for the past II
years. The President has evinced great
interest in the story of the men, which
Is as follows:
In May, 1875, E. w. Clark and George
Miller, American citizens, ship ped from
New Orleans on the schooner jefferson
Borden, bound for Liverpool. Her cap
tain, w. Peterson, treated them and the
other members of the crew, it is alleged,
with the greatest cruelty. The food
was bad, the fresh water carelessly
Kept and the crew subjected to over
work and torturous punishment. Mad
dened by their hardships, Clark and Mil
Ter and a third member of the crew,
John Glen, British subject, formed a
mutiny and attacked the captain and
his officers
During the melee the mate, Corred on
Peterson, the Captains brother, was
struck with Delaying pin and killed.
The Captain reiterated to his cabin, and
from window laid out each of the mu-
tlneers with revolver. No one was
killed, but they were so severely in
Jured that they were easily put in irons.
After treatment in a British hospital
the men were brought to Boston and
tried and convicted of mutiny. The
sentence of death imposed on the two
Americans was committed to imprison-
ment for life, while the Briton, through
the offices of the British government,
received 10 years. sentence.
The delegation that presented the ap-
plication for the pardon of the two men
was appointed by the Labor Union meet
ing at Detroit last year, through the eff
forts of the Seamen's Union.

story is told by Sheriff Dor thwick,
relative to H GeorgeaS tratton, who died
in New York while trying to beat Succi 8
fasting record. He says that Stratton
had adopted boy supposing him to be
Charlie Ross.
The sheriff and Ross father CORE
sponded with Stratton for a year re-
garding the boy. The sheriff got Gle W
as to where Stratton was living and the
latter learning of it sent the boy to
Denver. He ad mitted that he had
adopted the boy but would say nothing
futher about him.
Stratton was married and his wife
lives in Minnesota. Many years ago
she refused to live with him while he
had the boy in the house. The boy told
the sheriff many things and Stratton's
death may help to unravel the mystery
which has so long surrounded the boy.
He is known here as Fred Stratton.
Strattou always refus ed to say where he
got the boy. The sheriff has many let
lers from Ross father and he will con-
tinue the investigation as to who the
boy is.
