Owing to the red tape policy of the military system which prevails in this country, it is almost impossible to get at the true facts in the case.

HUMAN INSTINCT.

So powerful is human instinct, that
some of it's suggestions become embodied
in social and household customs. The
people know and feel that at the begin.
ming of the spring season the system
needs an Alternative and apurifying tonic
and stimulant. In all parts of the
country it is the custom for the house.
wife to dose her brood with sassafras
tea. Among the simple remedies that
our ancestors employed, this decoction
has continued to hold its own. The de-
mand for spring Alternative and tonic,
however, is filed more eflicaciously by
S. S. S., which is itself as simple as
natures remedial medicine should be.
1t purifes the blood, cleanses and
strengthens the system, and prepares
the human machine to stand the wear
and tear of the summer months.

Capt. Porter, of the United States; /

Southern Illinois, where. within thesy
past week, he has put behind the bars,
the preacher counterfeiters, Geo. VAN
Gil and jeremiah Holmes. He tells a
queer story of mutual conversion, in.
which counterfeiter became preach

general outcast in Duquoin, H..
Rev. George Vancil was Bap-
tist minister. He undertook to-.
convert Holmes to Christian
ity, after every body had given him up,
as incorrigible. The men met one night
under the stars and Vancil preached q y,
sermon to Holmes to such effect that hes
professed repentance. He fell on the
ground, and, with his hands toward
Heaven, declared he would forever re-
nounce his ways and he afterward said /
that he had been converted like Paul ON
his way to Damascus. The conversion OF 7
the hardened sinner was heraldeds
throughout Polk county as miracle, and
the people marveled greatly at tho J
strangeness of it. Holmes turned
preacher and became the pastor of a $,
Campbellite congregation in the country
near Duquoin. 1t was not long after.

MUST STOP TAKING SEALS.

Great Britain Promises to Co-Operate
with tho United States in Beliring Sea.
WASHINGTON, May 29.-The president
has received cipher dispatch from
Minister Lincoln at London saying that
official notice had been given in the
house of commons that a bill would be
introduced on Monday to authorize the
queen to prohibit British subjects from
taking seals in Behring sea. The news
of this action was received with salts
faction at the state department. GEN.
orally it is taken as an indication that
the British government is preparing to
accept the condition imposed by the
president as preliminary to arbitra-
ton and cause the British vessels to re-
frain from sealing meantime.
OTTAWA, Ont, May 29.-The total
value of the marine fur fishery in
Behring sea and adjoining waters for
1890 was S51O,111, showing a total
catch of 54,s53 seals. The num-
Der of fur seals caught by for
eign vessels and disposed of in Vic
toria was S,474, of which all but 294
were caught in Behring sea. The total
value of the Canadian seal catch was in
creased $177,661, owing to the advance
of one dollar per skin and the increase
of II, ,1S1 skins in the catch.

STRIKE TROUBLES.

Serious Losses Caused by the Suspension
of Building Operations in New York.
New YORK, May 29.-The report that
some of the lumber dealers would open
their yards and thatathey had seeded
from their original agreement is en-
phatically denied at the head
quarters of the Lumber Dealers
association. 1t is shown by statistics
that the consumption of lumber in the
building trade was reduced the first
week of the strike about 80 per cent.
and the second week over 95 per cent.
The estimated loss in wages by the
workmen thrown out of employment
during the first week of the
strike amounted to about $3.50, 600 and
during the second week to about
$450,00O. Should the strike continue
until next week it is said fully 10000
men will be thrown out of work by
stoppage of building operations. The
tie-up is also being severely felt in AL
bany, Buffalo and Tonawanda, where
a large number of canal men are lying
idle.
