Til. Era of Nu.cle.

This il an athletic age. Everybody wants to
be- strong. The craze-for it has well nigh
reached that stage-affects both sexes and
even childhood. The pugilistic phase of this
fad in young America il by no means morally
promising. Bnt it is one thing to be endowed
with vigor aud another to be Sand0wed with
muscle. Super muscularity il often induced by
physical effort perilous to health and calculat-
ed to shorten life. The vigor which means a
regular and efficient discharge Of the physical
functions, IL the first medium at which all may
safely aim without causing ruptures or break
blood vessels. Hostetter's Stomach Bitters is
largely conducive to a gain in vigor Of this sort
since il stimulates and assists digestion. pro-
notes regular bilious secretions and keeps the
bowels in order. Sleep, that grand recuperator
of nervous vigor, is encouraged by il, and it
remedies malarial, rheumatic and kidney
troubles.

CRIME OR CASUALTY?
A Mysterious Affair That the Authorities
Refuse to Investigate.

At an early hour this morning man
passing by Case. King & Wodzitzki's
store was frozen with horror at discover
ing the stiff and cold remains Of an In
dian, lying head downwarde in the hole
in front OF the store. made by the re.
moval Of the platform scales. In antic-
ipation OF the work to be done on the
street at this point. the hole has been
left open. though guarded by strong
rail, which, however. does not appear to
have been strong enough to keep the
unfortunate victim Of last night from
his fate, for he appeared to have fallen
across the rail and carried it with him.
The hole is not more than three or four
feet deep, and when discovered this
morning the appearances indicated that
the Indian had fallen-o or been pushed
headlong into the hole as he rested on
his head and right shoulder. his legs
projecting upward and his feet remain
ing on a level with the sidewalk. The
right arm was under the body, and the
left raised and bent over the forehead.
as if in the act Of warding off blow.
There are no wounds on the body. but
quite a number OF contusions, some of
which evidently resulted from the fall.

Fog.

Fog is to most people depressing
but if it is not too thick it affords one
beauty that is unique. This appears
only at night and in places that are
well furnished with arc lights.
These lamps spread a white radiance
through the moisture laden air
above and around them, and as they
sputter and flicker the nebule seen
over the roofs and awnings appear
like the reflection of a great fire. ex-
cept that the light is white instead
of red and yellow When forms are
blurred in the mist and distance is
obliterated, this playing and flashing
of pallid lights is magical and uncan-
ny as well as beautiful Chicago

Attempted Suicide.

James Morris. a passenger BY
the steamer Warrimoo from Van
CONVEX for Fiji attempted TO com
nit suicide. Yesterday morning.
on board the vessel by shooting
himself in the head, using q re-
volver as the means to obtain the
end. The accounts differ some
what regarding the affair, butthe
straigttest connection of circum-
stances as told bY Mr.. Hodges. a
fellow-passenger of the intended
suicide, and Hho was at the bunk
side of Morris, and so close that
his face got powder-bu burned. is to
the effect; that Morris, who is
native of Aberdeen, Scotland was
journeying to Fiji to meet a
brother of his, there residing.
Morris stated that he had had
about So 600, but it is believed
that bad speculations had reduced
that amount to about g 900.
Dependency caused the attempt;
it is doubtful if he survives.

United Safes man-of- war Ben
nigton, now at Mare Island, has

that the Government has changed
its policy of concentrating all the
available vessels in Boring Sea
this summer. The Concord and

stations.
