a single one of her men-of-war.

Talks cheap, but when it's backed up by pledge of the hard cash of a fiDan- cially responsible firm or company, of world wide reputation for fair and hon. orable dealing, it means business. -.
 Now, there are scores of sarsaparillas and other blood purifiers, all cracked up to be the best, purest, most peculiar and wonderful, but bear in mind, (for your own sake), there's only one guaranteed blood purifier and remedy for torpid liver and all diseases that come from bad blood.
 That one-standing solitary and alone -sold on trial is Dr Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery.
 If it doesn't do good in skin, scalp and scrofulous diseases-and pulmonary consumption is lung scrofula-just let its makers know and get your money back.

MAY BE DISMISSED
Court Martial Verdict in the
 ThrOckmorton Case.
HE IS RECOMMENDED TO MERCY.
The President May Commute tho Sentence
 to Suspension on Reduced Pay.

The Verdict win Not Be Made Public
 Until the President Has Formally
 Acted Upon the Matter, But the Above
 Is the Rumor in War Department-Col.
 4. P. Morrow Retires and Thus Escapes
 Court Martial for DiaObedIence of
 Orders.
 WASHINGTON, Feb. 18.-Although the verdict of the court martial in the case of Major Charles B. Throckmorton,. who was tried in New York some weeks ago on charges of duplicating his pay ac- counts, will not be officially announced until the President has formally acted upon the papers, 1t has become pretty generally known throughout the War Department that the sentence is dis missal.
 It is reported, however, that the sem tence is accompanied by 6 recommenda- tion for mercy signed by all the members of the court. This circumstance, con pied with the officers long service and the trmenduous amount of influence at work in his behalf, will probably spare him the loss of his commission
 It is generally expected the President will mitigate the sentence to two or three years suspension on half or three-quar- ter pay.
 Charges of disobedience of orders re- ders have been made against Col A. P. Morrow by General Stanley, command ing the Department of Texas, and court martial was thought to be imminent, when his friends intervened and induced him to apply for retirement under the thirty year service law, the War Depart ment agreeing to pi2eonhole the charges on condition that the application for re- tirement should follow.
 The arrangement will not be fully con- sumated until next August, when Colonel Morrow will complete the thirty years necessary to entitle him to retirement. The War Department has relieved him from his command and ordered him to his home in anticipation of that event.
 The charges against Colonel Morrow are based upon certain actions of that officer during the recent Garza campaign. One of the principal charges, constituting disobedience of orders, recites that Colo mel Morrow issued passes to men of his regiment to pass over the border into Mexico in the face of positive instructions prohibiting such rction issued by General Stanley.
 Colonel Morrow, it will be remembered, was tried by court martial in this city a few years ago on charges of duplicating his pay accounts and was suspended for three years. He was an aide to General Sheridan for a number of years.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 16.-The Canadian Reciprocity Commissioners have left fol home. The fact that the commissioners were not given power to conclude reoi procity agreement with the United States being finally settled, there was nothing further to do in regard to the trade re lations between the countries. Evident ly Lord Salisbury's answers to Sir Julian power for the commissioners to enter into negotiations with the United States were not satisfactory, for the departure of the commissioners is somewhat sud den move.

M,n-vAlNE,s ExecuTloN.
Dr. SHOritt Says the Electrical Ex,.cusion
 Law Ia Horrible in the Extreme.

Law la Horrible In the Extreme.
 ALBANY, N. Y., Feb. 10. -Ev;den tly the talk about the cruelty of the electri- cal execution is not at an end. Senator Osborne has received . letter from Dr. J. Moritt, of Poughkeepsie, an old and skillfnl physician who was a witness at the execution of McIlvaine.
 He says in the letter that he has wit messed executions in every land, and has seen men killed by hanging, by sword, by guillotine, by shooting and by the Spanish garrOtte, and nothing compares in horribleness with the electrocution. He says that the Spanish garrotte is the only thing that for cruelty equals it. He continues:
 From my medical knowledge, can assure you that the man was not killed until the second shock. As to losing con- sciousness, doubt it by the symptoms I observed. '' -- He asserts that the man would have revived had not the second shock been turned on. The body after death pre- sented a most horrible sight and the face showed that the man died in terrible agony. Dr. Moritt urges the immediate repeal of the law.
 Assemblyman Stein has received a letter from an electrician named Gib- bons, in Syracuse, and the inventor of an electrical chair. He says the men who have had charge of the electrocutionS have all been amateurs and unable to use the chair properly.

 With startling vividness her mind re- called this episode at the Fish Ponds. We're played quite as well as she sang. and one evening two or three dreamy airs stole out from under her slxillful fingers until at last she felt that she was telling any who might be listening too much of what was in her heart She would play no more-she would sing-and almost without her own will and knowledge a pathetic little air shaped itself into melody, and she sang

 "Why not2" she asked without look. ing up.
 He rested his hand heavily on her shoulder for an instant. "It's like an evil omen" he answered, then dropped back into his chair again, not daring to trust himself to stand beside her any longer.
 Now We're remembered that incident, and felt that it had been prophetic. It helped her to decide upon going away. So when Mrs. Jock came down to break fast the following morning she found 3 note addressed in Vere's handwriting lying beside her plate. ''Why. what's this?" she exclaimed.

 "Oh, yes," the nurse replied.

 "Oh, yes, tolerably we'll"

 He stared at her for a moment as if the idea had not won any understand ing from him. '1 don't think quite follow you." he said, in a perplexed way.

"There's nothing to laugh at,' re- marked Mrs. Jock, vexedly. She herself had been laughing almost hysterically but a moment before. "No - but the situation even in sug- l gestion is too funny" he cried. ''Still, such an idea?'
 "I imagine Mrs. Hope told her so." "Oh! she couldn't-it's impossible"
 "I don't know. Anyway, you are 1 quite sure that you are not mixed up iD anything of the kind?" ! Quite sure."

 Police Captain Fitzpatrick was there to see that nobody was hurt. He would not allow a referee or seconds, and made the men box with gloves as big as sofa pillows.
 He scared Bowen so much that the yellow fighter refused to make a lead in the earlier rounds. Murphy had to do all the fighting.
