This is Meant for You.


II has been truly said that half the
world does not know how the other
half lives. Comparatively few of US
have perfect health, owing to the i'm
pure condition of our blood. But we
rub along from day to day, with
scarcely thought, unless forced to
our attention, of the thousands all
about us who are suffering from
scrofula, salt rheum and other serious
blood disorders, and whose sgonies can
only be imagined. The marked sue
cess of Hoods Sarsaprilla for these
troubles, as shown in our advertising
columns frequently, certainly seems
to justify urging the use of this ex-
cellent medicine by all who know that
their blood is disordered. Every claim
in behalf of Hoods Sarsaparilla is
fully backed up by what the medicine
has done and is still doing, and when
it's proprietors urge its merits and its
use upon all who suffer frcm impure
blood, in grerg or small degrees, they
ce rtainly mean to include you.

the hill, but my horse stood still, his
poetic Arabian soul seeming to be en-
raptured with the scenery. He rolled
his eyes in way that excited my Derv-
GUS disposition. took out my pocket
knife and cut small tree. Then l
told the horse that l was man of few

snecial to the REcoRp-UN1oN.


CHICAGO. Oct. 8.-What promises to de-
velop into sensational suicide occurred
to-day on the railroad tracks at the foot
of Monroe street. From papers found on
the suicides body he is believed to be
Henry Kershaw, editor and manager OF
the New Orleans Commercial. A man
was noticed standing on the tracks, and
as freight train approached he threw
himself upon the tracks and placed his
neck across the rail. The police FASTENED
to the spot, but the train severed his head
from his body before they could reach
him.
Letters found in the mans pockets led
to his Identification, and the contents, if
true, tell sensational story. In all the
letters which he had written Kershaw
speaks of crime charged against him
which was prosecuted by a woman he
designated as Libbie Bloom, and a num-
ber of secret societies, and he claims that
he was bounded to his grave. He speaks
of an unfair trial, and evidently believed
his enemies intended to murder him. He
hinted at lynching, but stated that he did
not fear it, not fearing death.
Letters were also found on him signed
by Libbie Bloom, indicate that he was in
tatuated with the Bloom woman, and left
his wife and children in order to live with
her. Some of the letters read like the
products of deranged mind.
NOT WE'LL KNOWN AT NEW ORLEANS.
NEW ORLEANS, Oct. S.-Henry Ker-
shaw, who committed suicide in Chicago
to-day was not we'll known here, and had
not been in journalism for some time.
He issued the Commercial Bulletin about
q year, and at one time was partner in

of him in connection with the woman
Libbie Bloom, or his domestic affairs.

The American Vessel Wins the First
Heat in the Contest.
NEW YORK, Oct. S.-The Vigilant and
Valkyrie were resting within couple
of yards of each other in front of the
Atlantic Yacht Clubhouse at Bay Ridge
to-day. Things are being put in ship
shape order for to-morrow's race in a
most peaceful manner, but the army Of
patriots who were close by raised rum
pus that should go down into yachting
race history. There were fully 25,000 in
the long and dense lines of people who
crowded Long Island shore and in hum
dreds and hundreds of boats which left
shore and made detour of the yachts.
The sailors on the Valkyrie opened their
eyes wide with astonishment when they
looked over the tlotilla of craft that COW
cred large portion of the bay surround
ing them. They had never seen any
thing like it in English waters.
The race tomorrow will be over tri-
angular course, ten miles of each leg.
The first leg will be laid out 10 windward,
the second reach and the third run be-
fore the wind. Indications are that there
will be a light wind from westward and
southwark.
The Vigilant won Saturdays race. the
Regatta Committee of the New York
Yacht Club having given out the follow
ing table of figures:
Start, actual time-Vigilant, 11:25:30;
Valkyrie, 1l:25:25.
Turning of outer mark - Vigilant,
l:50:50; Valkyrie, 1:46:56.
Finish-Vigilant, 3:30:47; Valkyrie,
3:3S:23.
Elapsed time-Vigilant, 4:O5:27; Val
kyrie, 4:13:23.
Corrected time-Vigilant, 4h. SIN. 27s.;
Valkyrie, 4h. IL. 35s.
Thus the Vlgilant won by five minutes
and forty-eight seconds on corrected and
official time. It will be seen that the VAL
kyrie gained on the stretch home. as she
was eight minutes and six seconds be-
hind when the outer mark was turned
and seven minutes and thirty-six sec
onds at the finish in actual time
