Experience.

Experience teaches not only weak
ness, but strength and the value of
good remedies such as Allcock's Porous
Plasters. This is what c. ID. Freder-
icks, the well-known photographer of
New York, says:
81 have been using Allcock's Porous
Plasters for twenty years, and found
them one Of the best Of family medi-
cines. Briefly summing up my expert.
ence, say that when placed on the
small of the back AllcOck's Plasters fill
the body with nervous energy, and
thus cure fatigue, brain exhautiOn, de-
bility and kidney difficulties. For
women and children have. found
them invaluable. They never irritate
the skin or cause the slightest pain, but
cure sore throat; coughs, pains In side,
back or chest, indigestion and bowel
complaints"
Brandreth's Pills are safe and sure.

WOULD FIGHT FOR AUSTRIA.
Emperor William Makes Promises
Of Assistance in TOasting
Francis Joseph.

PoLA, Austria, April AT the lunch
con given in honor of Emperor William
on board the Austrian frigate Radetz-
ky, Archduke Carl Stephen toasted
Emperor William who, in reply, pro-
posed and drank the health of Emperor
Francis Joseph. In the afternoon En-
peror William dined at the Naval Ca
sino, where, in reply to a toast in his
honor, he proposed the health of ADJ
miral Sterneck.
During his speech the Emperor ex-
pressed his cordial thanks for the re-
ception accorded to the German war
ships which visited Austrian ports IN
1890, and wished prosperity to the Aus
trian navy, whose activity and progress,
he added, he had now become ac-
quainted with. Continuing, Emperor
William said: "Wherever Emperor
Francis Joseph, my best friend, to whom
Jam united by the closest unity and
truest brotherhood of arms, might sum
mon the German feet, it would 60 full
steam ahead"
Emperor William also drank the
health of Emperor Francis Joseph and
the Austrian navy. The toast was en-
Enthusiastically received.
Previous to leaving Pola for Venice
Emperor William conferred the order
of the Black Eagle upon Archduke Carl
Stephen, and also bestowed other high
orders upon several of the prominent
Austrian naval officers.

TWENTY MEN DESERT.
Coxey's Army Finds that the March
to Washington is Not

McKEEspoRT, Pa, April There was
a score of desertions to-day from Coxey's
little band Of hope and great expecta-
tons. The proposed tramp to Monon-
gahela City over eighteen miles of
rough road, with a short stop at Eliza
beth for lunch, was the cause of it all.
Footsore and weary the men did not
view the prospects Of the start to-day
with any degree of satisfaction. From
the expression in camp it can be stated
that were it not for the strict discipline
of Unknown" Smith, half the army
would be abandoned for time. The
short rations and the seven days con-
tinuous marching in a week over all
sorts of roads and all kinds Of weather is
having marked effect upon the mem
bers of the army. The jollity has largely
disappeared, and last night the. men
sat about the camp fires shivering in
their rags. Denunciations Of the fare,
quarters and alleged unpleasant dom
ineering of several of the marshals, has
supplanted the songs and the pleasing
iortltude of the first days out.

Operatives Proves a Complete

UN1oNTowN, Pa, April 6.-The strike
is over and ignominious defeat marks it's
collapse. Within the past six hours the
rioters from both sections of the coke
field have lain down their arms and
gone peacefully to their homes. The
movement was miserable failure and
not point was gained by the men.
They are in a worse condition now than
before as the companies have started
their works with English speaking
workmen to the exclusion of the foreign
element. All the works in the south
ern end of the region are either running
or preparing to start up between this
and Monday, while those in the north
ern end are in full operation.
