laughed heartily when asked ~ to the
likelihood Of Mexico attempting to
recover the islands.
"Why, it is preposterous, said he.
at wonld be just IS plausible for France
at this time to discover that when Ma
polean decided Louisiana to the United
States there was one days interest on
few dollars withheld by the United
States and for that reason France should
recover the state.
1T is simply asinine, and don't
believe there is any thing in the report
at all. For 80 years the United States.
or Its citizens who have acquired title,
have held these islands without any
dispute; Mexico nor no other country
can, in my opinion. come in and dis
possess this country of it's possessions.

If it is don't fear for the ultimate re-

GREAT SUCCESS.

Twelve Thousand Persons Cured

RESULTS ARE WONDERFUL
Sending the Great Rheumatism Cure
All Over the United
States.

From the San Francisco Chronicle, Sunday, June
3, 1894.
In reply to question ne answered, 81
am just like the fOurishing drygoods man 4,
except that have no slaughter sale to an
nounce. but l can truthfully use the re-
mainder of the sentence he usually affects,
moving TO larger premises. which my
greatly increased business has rendered
imperative" "What becomes of all the
rheumatic curers, who in endless line bob
up above the medical horizon. flaunt their
spurious wares for short time, then dis
appear as mysteriouSly as if the earth had
swallowed them up?" This was the query
put to DR.. j. E. PlOuf of San Francisco.
He has been so exceptionally successful
in his treatment of rheumatism, that it
was thought &c might well be called upon
to answer. 81 suppose that where one
man makes a success others think that
they may venture with equal certainty of
succeeding.
The world is full of imitators, and hav-
ing established my own business beyond
any possibility OF question. L an not sur
prised that every week new curer should
raise MS head. They go into the business
purely as a gamble, in the hope that they
may make lucky strike" 10 what do
Won attribute your successY was asked.
DR.. PlOuf looked surprised aud answered
in manner which showed how fully he
believed in what he said:
"My success is due TO my curing the
people-nothing else would make success.
The fact that my medicine is being shipped
TO all addresses upon receipt of price,
three bottles for five % dollars or six for

ST. CLAER'S CASE.
Why the Supreme Court Refused a
New Trial.

District Attorney Garter received the
decision of the United States Supreme
Court in the st. Clair case yesterday. The
notion for a new trial OF the murderer
was based on three grounds: First-That
the indictment did not state where on the
high seas the crime was committed. The
Supreme Court ruled OF this point that
the indictment stated that the crime was
committed on an American vessel on the
high seas snd that was all that was neces-
sary.
The second point was that The jury-box
had not been refilled for the trial. The
court held that the refliug of the box was
optional with the trial Judge.
The third point was that the Jury. in
rendering their verdict, declared ST. Clair
gully, but did not state of what he was
guilty. The Supreme Court ruled that the
omission was immaterial.

WAS 1T A JOKE?
John Curtin and His Boarders
Startled on Friday Night.


Startled on Friday Night.
John Curtin, the proprietor of a sailors
boarding house on Steuart street, near
Harrison, as we'll as those who enjoy his
hospitality at their own expense. were
given scare on Friday night which they
will not forget in good while. 1t will be
remembered that about a year ago a
dynamite explosion occurred at his place
whereby one man was killed and several
severely injured, and since that time a
careful watch has been kept for suspicious
looking characters or mysterious bundles
around tie vicinity of Curtin's house.
On Friday night, about o'clock, while
Curtins front room was crowded with
sailors, a man ran hurriedly past the place
and hurled through the doorway a small
bundle from which snake was issuing.
The scene which followed may be better
imagined than described. Every one in
the room made frantic effort TO escape
from the house, thinking that at any mo-
ment the smoking object would explode
and shatter everything. A strong smell of
sulphur proceeded from it, but it did moth
ing more than smoke. At last the bar
keeper of the place returned and took a
peep, and finally nerving himself to the
task took a shovel and knocked the thing
into the street, where it burst apart and
emitted bright flame which burned for
sumo time.
After 1t was burnt out the remnants
were taken to Sergeant Helms at the
South Harbor police station. where after
an investigation the sergeant concluded
that the object had only been one of those
marine torcnes which are used to light lie
buOys at sea, and that the party who
threw 1t simply desired to play joke on
Curtin and his bOardsrs.
