HIS AFFIDAVIT.
II Will Make People Believe His
Wonderful Story.
Subscribed to by One Of New
YOrk's Most Prominent
Justices.
Here Is the Whole Matter EX-
actly as 1t Happened.
State of New York, I c
County of Washington,

County OF Washington,
Lucien Rodd of Whiteh all, n. Y, being
by me duly sworn, deposes and says that
some years ago he suffered very greatly
with insomnia, nervous prostration and
his body was covered with sores, causing
him great pain and annoyance. That his
head was so covered with sores that he
was hardly able to comb or even brush his
hair, so great was the pain it occasoned.
That he consulted the local physicians
without successful result; that he took
quantities of medicine with no benefit
whatever; that physicians told him his
disease was incurable and he had come to
the same conclusion himself and had made
up his mind to go to a hospital and await
death
That just about this time he learned
about DR.. Greenes Nervura blood and
nerve remedy, which he began to use.
That this remedy entirely relieved and
cured him, healed and dried up his sores,
enabled him to sleep soundly and com
fortably and restored him to his ordinary
vigor and vitality, in short, made a sound
and well man of him so that he was fully
able to work at his occupation, and has
done SO since that time.
That he attributes his recovery to DR..
Greene's Nervura blood and nerve remedy
as it has restored him when everybody and

ceived of the bombardment of Rio by the

Several of the shells from the insurgent

The Americas Cup
VIII Remain with us Another Year, the
VigiIant Having Won the Third Race
from the VaIkyrie.


from the Valkyrie.
The closest, fastest and most exciting
race ever sailed for the possession of the
America cup was won Friday by the Vigi-
liant in half gale of wind. The Valkyrie
was only 40 seconds behind after the de-
duction of time allowance of one minute
and 33 seconds. Before the race ton of
lead was placed on the Valkyrie's keel.
This result of the third and last of the
series of races on Lord Dunravens chal-
lenge settles the fact that the most famous
yachting trophy in the world remains in
the keeping of the New York Yacht club
for another year at least. The race was
sailed from Sandy Hook lightship east -
miles and return in half gale, or a wind
of 26 to 20 miles an hour. On the run out
the Vigiant was beaten by two minutes,
but this lead was overcome on the last Is
miles. When within Is minutes of the fin
ish the Valkyrie split her spinnaker and
thus lost time. The Vigilant's time, cor
rected, was 3h., Pam, and 39s. Her aver
age speed was S.75 knots.

Secured $2OU,OOO in Boston
And $4,000 in other cities on False
pretences.


Pretences.
The Boston Herald says that an indict-
ment warrant is in the hands of the police
for the arrest of George b. White, who UNI
til recently has represented the large Penn
sylvania firm of Williams, White & Co., in
that city. Mr.. White is accused of obtain
ingI money under false pretences from a
dozen Boston banks, the claim being made
that he secured about 500, 1000. 1t is also
alleged that New York, Philadelphia and
Pittsburg institutions are out about $780,
600 on account of his peculiar commercial
transactions in Pennsylvania. Mr.. White
covered his transactions with many compli-
cations. At one time he said his concern
had assets of about 81, 250,0 900, with liabil-
tiles of less than 100000. All that has
been found thus far, however, would not
make a check of the firm good for $780,
600, and that is covered about four times
over by debts. The exact amount of the
Indebtedness cannot be ascertained. 1t is
probable that about S4S0,00O is the net
amount due the banks. OF the Boston
banks only one has good security. The
others have a few water and electric COM
pany stocks, but they are regarded by finan-
ciers as practically valueless. White is
supposed to be in Pennsylvania.

they will rear another; but they don't
seem To know when to do this, nor
does the beekeeper until It Is too late

They are very apt to fight when thus

these colonies are very old and their

with these combs is TO melt them into
