A FRIEND IN NEED.

The old adage is that "A friend in
need is friend indeed" This every
one will acknowledge who has tried
that sterling remedy, REID's GERMAN
COUGH AND KIDNEY CURE. When
racked by violent cough or suffering
with a terrible cold this great remedy
comes like a messenger of peace with
healing on its wings. 1t at once
stimulates the kidneys so that they
resume their normal functions; 1t aids
the lungs to throw off the surplus car
honic acid; and it restores the circu-
lation to its accustomed vigor. When
this is done, but not until it is done,
will the system be restored and the
cold be banishcd. No one can take
even one dose OF this great remedy
without feeling the benefit. 1t acts
at once, and at the same time it is
perfectly harmless. 1t never under
any circumstances does harm. This
makes it the most invaluable of cough
remedies. Get it OF any dealer.

six feet square and open ut the top, and
it is as much a prisoner as though it
were shut up in box. This is because

also bat cannot rise from a perfectly

ably nimble In its flight when on the
wing, and can fly for many hours at a
time without taking the least rest, if
placed on the floor or on flat ground it
is absolutely unable to use it's wings.

sensational correspondents have credited
Hall with ninety-nine murders. but of
course this Is an eXaggeration. His record
Is bloody enough. however. Ito himself
admits that the number will reach five, not
counting the men he killed during the war.
The particular crime for which Hall was
sentenced was the shooting Of Special Po-

Hylton was taking Il prisoner to jail. when
Hall demanded that he release the man.
and upon the officers refusal shot him in
cold blood. Hall had e!opei with Hyiton's
sister after numbering her husband, and
Hy,ton IS said t. have sworn TO xiii the

having a prisoner under arrest TO pick a
quarrel with him and kill him.

New York special:
The scourge has reached New York.
Quarantine officials discovered that tho
steamship MOravia, from Hamburg, had
n great deal of sickness on board and
that twenty-five persons hal died on
the trip over. The ships physicians
told the health officers that some of the
passengers on the ship were suffering
from choIerine, but that it was not gem
uine Asiatic cholera. An immediate in
spection of the passengers was made,
and rs a result the vessel was ordered
to the lower bay. Thirteen of the per-
sons who died on the way over were
Polanders. Twenty of them We're chill
dren. All the dead were buried at sea
on the days that they died.
AS soon as the discovery was made
that So many persons had died and that
there was great deal of sickness on
board the quarantine officers refused to
permit aperson TO leave the ship, or
dercd it to weigh anchor and proceed to
the island selected for cholera patients.
1t was discovered by the officers who
made the examination of the stccrage
passengers that there We're three cases
of measles Oh board. The health
officials refused TO permit anyone to
board the vessel or allow anyone to
leave. The news of the discovery was
brought To quarantine station by the
health boat.
They Call 1t ..ChoIer!ne."
DR.. jenkins, the Health Officer, re-
ccived the report of the officials who
boarded the vessel, and gave orders to
isolate the steamer completely. TIE
said that from the casual investigation
made he thought the disease was, as
stated hy the ships surgeon. cholcrine,
but that the persons VIII" had died came
from the infected provinces OF Germany
and Russia. As far as he had been in
formed there was little sickness on the
vessel. When she dropped anchor ut
quarantine he had not time to make a
thorough examination of the cause of
the deaths and sickness on board, but
will do SO this afternoon. Some of the
passengers on board OF the Moravia did
not know of the existence oc the disease
on board.

1t is said that whom the health officers
first bearded the Moravia the ships off,
GERS told them that there was no sick

and exhibited clean bill Of health from
the health officers at Hamburg. The
ships officers appeared retic.rt, and the
presence of cholcrlne or Asiatic cholera.
as it might turn out to be, was not dis
covered until the officers had nearly
completed their examination.

Boys and Girls.

The year of greatest growth in boys
is the 18th; in girls, the 18th. While
girls reach full height in their 18th year,
they acquire full weight at the age OF
90. Boys are stronger than girls from
birth to the 18th year; then girls be-
come superior physically to the 18th
year, when the tables are again turned
and remain so. From November to
April children grow very little and gain
II, weight; from April TO July they gain
in height, but lose in weight; and from
July to November they increase greatly
in weight, but not in height.-British
