Woods to be United States circuit

illness, and would not be able to attend
the sessions of the committee for a

attempt was made to secure report on

ALL WERE RESCUED.
The Passengers of the Stranded
Elder Safely Landed,
OVER TWO HUNDRED PEOPLE

Brought 20 shore in the Boats of the
Life Saving Service. with No Mere
Userious Damage Than Thorough
Drenching-The Vessel still on the
Rock.
LONDON, Feb. "A dispatch from the
signal station at st. GATHERINGS Point,
the southern extremity of the Isle of
Wight, states that the North German
Lloyd steamer Elder, Captain Heinecke,
which left New York ON Jan. %, for
Bremen, was stranded neal that point
late Sunday night. A heavy fog pre-.
vailed at the time the steamer struck,
Captain HeineclSe. shortly before the
vessel struck, thought that he was
about four miles west of the Needles.
and as he had not sighted the Needles or
st. GATHERINGS lights he kept the lead
line going continuously, the last report a
moment or before the Elder ran
ashore, showing eighteen fathoms of
water. The quartermaster engaged in
heaving the lead had just gathered up
grounded.
The Elder carried eighteen cabin pas
sengers-not including children-and 1i6
in the steerage.
Taking the Passengers Ashore.
The work of rescuing the passengers
was begun by the life saving crew late
yesterday afternoon, the heavy sea for
bidding the attempt earlier. Most of
the lady passengers feared to take the
risk of going off in the first lifeboat,
and as there was plenty of room Cap
tain Heineke allowed some of the male
passengers to land in the first boat load
taken ashore. -Four children We're also
slowed away in the bottom of the boat
under the thwarts and amid the legs of
the lifeboat crew. The children. in
order to give them as much protection
as possible against the weather, were
covered over with tarpaulins, but every
body in the boat was repeatedly drenched
to the skin by the seas which swept into
the small craft.
When the lifeboats reached the line of
surf beating upon the shore it was with
great difficulty that they escaped being
swamped. The boats were finally rid
den in, bows on to the breakers, and
Wlltu llltN lGdCIicu u CtIJilil DpluL tilty
were seized by coast guardsmen and
others who had ventured out into the
surf as far as possible, and with n rush
the boats were dragged amid cheers upon
the beach and the passengers and crew
landed in safety.
All Are Rescued.
Finally, at $50 last night, the last boat
load was safely landed, amid the cheers
of the assembled people. There were
many thrilling episodes as boat load
after boat load departed from the
stranded vessel, and many times it was
thought that the rescuers and rescued
were doomed to death.
After being landed and warmed up
the rescued passengers were speedily
driven in carriages to Ventnor, about
nine miles distant by road, from which
place they were forwarded by rail to
Ryde, on the northern shore of the Isle
of Wight. AT Ryde the Elders passen-
gers were transferred to steamboats, and
taken to Southampton, where the North
German Lloyd Steamship company will
house and otherwise provide for the
steerage passengers and crew until after
the fate of the Elder is decided.
The Elder is still on the rock. and it
is feared her cargo must be removed
before she can be taken off.

But does it? It's put up by the

well as though it had been compoun-

It's makers say that thousands of
people who have had letter and Salt

Suppose that this is so. Suppose

enough to know that TO cleanse the
blood was to cleanse the life. Suppose
that by many experiments, and after
many failures, he discovered this gol-

in it for you is so strong that you can
go to your druggist, buy a bottle, and
If it doesn't help you, you can get

Will you try it!

be an Indian mound which had been
used as a burial ground. Bones,

abundance.

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local application, as they cannot
reach the diseased portions Of the cal.
There is only one way TO cure Deaf
ness, and that is by constitutional
remedies. Deafness is caused by an
inflamed condition of the mucus lin
ing of theEustachian Tube. When this
tube gets infiamed you have a rum
bling sound or imperfect hearing,
and when it is entirely closed Deaf
ness is the result. and unless the in
flammation can be taken out and this
tube restored to its normal condition,
hearing will be destroyed forever;
nine cases out of ten are caused by
catarrh, which is nothing but an in
famed condition of the mucous sur

AT the precinct meetings in this
county last Saturday there was, we
understand, absolutely no friction at
any place save Shepherdstown. At
this place, however, we regret to say,
the most intense bitterness was I'M
necessarily displayed, personal mat
tiers brought in, and very ugly state
OF affairs produced. The members of
the executive committee at this pre-
cinct had arranged to have the polls
opened for three hours for voting for
the various delegates. One ticket was
to be provided, upon which, it was
announced, the names Of all who de-
sired to be candidates were to be
placed. For instance, on the State
delegation there were about a dozen
candidates. 1t was the idea of the
committee men that these should all
be printed on the same ballot, and
then the voters could scratch the
names OF all but the four desired. For
some reason, however, TINS plan was
opposed and ticket with only four
names was brought out and pushed
with great vigor. 1t was successful,
but the methods employed to do this,
and the contest that followed, result
ed, as before announced, in a bitter
and uncalled for fight that cannot but
prove disastrous to the party-for
this is not good year for divisions
among Democrats. The ending of
the contest has not ended the trouble,
for with singular foolhardiness num-
Der of persons seem to be devoting
their energies to increasing the breach
that Is already too wide to be easily
closed.

In the Nick of Time.

The nick OF time TO stop the course OF blad-
der and kidney complaints Is when the
organs concerned exhibit tendency 10 grow
inactive. The healthful impulse toward ac-
tiyity that they receive from HostetteT's
stomach Bilters rescues them from impend-
ing danger, and averts such dangerous mala-
dies as Bright's disease and diabetes. Slug
gishness of the kidneys increases liability
TO chronic rheumatism, govt and dropsy, and
since the blood is filtered by these organs in
its passage through them, the operation OF
the Bitters serves doubly happy purpose.
The medicine acts without exciting, like the
fiery stimulants of commerce. Malarial, dys-
peptic, constipated and nervous invalids are
thoroughly relieved by 1t. Since the advent
OF that shocking malady, la grippe it has been
widely demonstrating it's usefulness as
curative and preventive OF it.
