Russian Aggression.

LONDON, Oct. 1O.-The Standard publishes
communication in regard to the recent So
called aggressive action of Russia in
Pamir, which says: ut is high time for
England to unsheath her sword in Asia.
The Russian tide of conquest, which has
flowed steadily eastward for fifty years.
must be sent sweeping back to the Caspian.
Russia has boldly pushed on until she now
stands at the very outposts of India"
The Standard, In a leading editorial COM
msnting upon this communication, says it
has no liking for "scares" and that its pur-
pose is mot to suggest alarm but to enforce
the necessity of firmness and vigilance"
adding, there is no question Of hostilities;
but if it were possible to conceive struggle
for supremacy in Asia it should be in
Pamir. II would be an easy matter for onr
Indian authorities to pull down the eagle
which in ill-timed Chauvinism Cossack
commander hoisted in the wilderness. The
game of bounce has so far been played
with success, but there is limit beyond
which it cannot be pushed. The signal
for RETREAT should be given when the cabinet
of st. James speaks clearly on the subject" !"

Not Wanted in Chicago
Late last night Chief McClaughry re-
ceived telegram from the chief of police
of Cincinnati saying that Miss Vera Ava
had been arrested and asking what dispo-
sition should be made of her. To this
Chief McClaughry replied: "Release Miss
Vera Ava; we do not want her." What
ever may the character of the woman, it
seems that she has swindled no one in this
city; in fact, it seems certain that sic
spent large sum of her own money in
charity. While here she called on Arch
bishop Feehan, and tried to interest him
IN her plans for the rescue of fallen wom-
en-, but he suspected either her character
or her sanity and saw her no more.

RossA's GREAT DISAPPOINTMENT.
The Noted Dynamitard Must Take His

NEW YORK, Sept. IL. -O'Donovan Rosa
publishes in his newspaper The United
lrishmen this week some remarkable cor
responueuce he has had with the state de-
partment relative to passport that he
wanted guaranteeing him freedom from
arrest in ireland, and which was refused
him. In answer to Rossa's first letter
Assistant Secretary of State Wharton
sent a passport in the usual form to
Rosa, inclosed in letter in which he said:
The department cannot furnish you with
a passport in any other form, and cannot
give you guarantee against arrest in
foreign countries on criminal charges"
Was Mistaken About that Treaty.
Rosa wrote back to Secretary Blaine
that he understood there was a treaty be-
tween the United States and Great Britain
which stipulated that an American citi-
zen could not be held in prison in Great
Britain for any political words or acts Of
his in this country and that he wanted to
know whether such protection was af-
forded an American citizen or not. He
received the following reply from the as
sistant secretary: II have to state that
there is no arrangement of any kind in

Patent medicines differ
One has reasonableness, an
other has not. One has repu-
tation-another has not. One
has confidence, born of sue
cess = another has only
"hopes."
Don't take it for granted
that all patent medicines are
alike. They are not.
Let the years of uninter-
rupted success and the tens
of thousands of cured and
happy men and women, place
DR.. Pierce's Golden Medical
Discovery and DR.. Pierce's
Favorite Prescription
on the side of the comparison
they belong.
And there isn't a state or
territory, no-nor hardly
country in the world, whether
its people realize it or not,
but have men and women
in them that're happier be-
cause of their discovery and
their effects.
Think of this in health.
Think of it in sickness. And
then think whether you can
afford to make the trial if
the makers can afford to take
the risk to give your money
back as they do if they do
not benefit or cure you.

clothing was torn and disarranged and
she presented the appearance of having
been roughly treated. She says her name

markable story of being in Chicago Thurs
day, where, with Mrs. Bolton, she drove in
a carriage to the house of Father Kelly, a
Roman Catholic priest in that city. She
went TO the priests house alone with
sachel containing several thousand
dollars. While talking to the priest
some persons threw shawl over
her head and robbed her of the
bag of valuables she had in her hand
They then put her in a carriage and drove
rapidly away. The woman is under the
impression that she was brought here in
the carriage from Chicago. Before being
arrested she made application for a room
at one of the leading hotels here, but was
