Since a Remarkable Happening.
An Interesting IDtervtaw With Promi-

The newsgatherer on his daily search for items of interest often comes across happen ings of more than passing note. It was dur ing a recent conversation with MT. A. h.

 ''Just ten years ago, ,n said he, my wife noticed a small lump in her breast. She thought nothing of it, but 1t increased Tn size rapidly, and soon broke through the skin, and commenced to discharge. She was put under treatment of the best physi- cians but they very soon found that they could do her no good, and simply prescribed autiseptics to keep the place clean. Both her grandmother and aunt, by the way, had died with cancer, and when apprised of this fact, the doctors told me that they would rot attempt to save her; that she was in- curable Although the cancer had by this time become deep seated, and her health very low, had one of the most noted spe- cialists of New York to treat her. After treating her awhile, this doctor admitted that the case was hopeless and further treatment useless. It is difficult to imagine how Respondent we all became, knowing that she must die, and unable to give her any relief l had spent over five hundred dollars with the best medical skill to be had, and felt that there was no further hope.
 ''One day happened to read an advertise ment of S. S. S., that remedy for cancer, and in view of the failure of the most eminent physicians in the country, confess had little faith left in any human agency. However, purchased bottle of $. $. S., and to my delight, it seemed to ben eft her; after she had taken a couple of bottles, the cancer began to heal, and aston ishing as it may seem, few bottles more cured her entirely. You can probably bet ter understand how remarkable this cure was, when l explain that the cancer had eaten two holes in the breast two inches deep. These healed up entirely, and all though ten years have elapsed, not a sign of the disease has ever returned, and we are assured of the permanence of the cure, which we at first doubted.
 "I certainly regard $. s. s. as the most wonderful remedy in the world, and it is truly God-send to those afflicted with this terrible disease. Yes sir,n he concluded, "you may be sure that l shall always be grateful to that remedy, for without it my home would now be desolate and my chil- dren motherless. "-Memphts, Tenn, Com mercidl.

Many years ago Dr. R. " Pierce, chief consulting physician to the Invalids' Hotel and Surgical Institute, Buffalo, N. Y., com- pounded this medicine of vegetable ingredi- ents which had an especial effect upon the stomach and liver, rousng the organs to healthful activity as well as purifying and enrichiug tle blood. By such means the stomach and the nerves are supplied with pure blood. they will not do duty without it any more than a locomotive can run with out coal. You can not get lasting cure of Dyspepsia, or Indigestion, by taking arti- ficially digested foods or pepsiii-the stom- ach must do its own work ill its own way. Do not put your nerves to sleep with so- called celery mixtures, it is better 10 go to the seat of the difficulty and feed the nerve cells on the food they require. Dyspepsia, Indigestion, Biliousness and Nervous Af- fections, such as sleeplessness and weak, nervous feelings are completely cured by the Discovery" It puts on healthy flesh, brings refreshing sleep and invigorases the whole system.

CAMPOS HAS THE FEVER.
Captain General OF Cuba Stricken
with Yellow Jack, but will
Not Give Up.

New York, July GA special to a
local paper from Key West, Fla, says
that it is reported in Havana that Mar
tinez Campos has been stricken with yell
low fever while leading 1000 soldiers into
Puerto Principe to stay the advance OF
Gomez toward Havana. AT the battle
of Grand Pedro the insurgents are said
also to have captured Campos' son, who is
reported to be dying Of yellow fever.
Havana, July 6.-Gen. Arderius, com
companies of the battalion of America
left for the province of Santa Clara.
1t is stated on good authority that there
is absolutely no foundation for the story
published in the United States that Capt.
Gen. Martinez de Campos would advise
the Spanish government to abandon the
task of attempting to put down the in
surrection and leave the island of Cuba
to it's fate. On the contrary, the cap
tain general is disposed to lose the last
man and spend the last cent procurable
in suppressing the revolt. News has been
received here from Manzanillo which
again confirms the report of tho death of
Amador Guerra in the fight recently in
the neighborhood of ManZanillo. His
body has been fully identified.
A. Ramburo, the insurgent leader, who
recently surrendered to the Spanish au-
tnorties at Manzanillo, escaped and
raised another band of insurgents in the
neighborhood of Trinidad. He was pur-
sued by the troops, who caught up with
his followers, and in the fight which en-
sued Ramburo was killed and three of
his band were wounded. On the side of
the troops one officer was wounded.

NURSE SUES 4 DOCTOR.
Philadelphia Young Lady Says DR..
Palen Promised to Mar
nv Her.

Philadelphia, Pa, July 5.-The evening
Bulletin publishes story to the effect
that DR.. Gilbert Joseph Palen, one of
Philadelphia's most prominent society
men, Was arrested on Tuesday last on
writ charging him with breach of promise
of marriage. The plaintiff is Miss Mar
garet May Thompson and when the case
reaches trial it is said that some very
interesting, not to say sensational, devel-
opments will result. DIR. Palen is son
of DR.. G. E. Palen of this city and a
nephew of the late Jay Gould. He is
well-known in society circles here and IN
to Mary Eleanor Adamson, daughter OF
William Adamson, at Germantown. The
wedding was an unusually swell affair
and was the occasion of a general turnout
of the wealth and fashion of the two
great cities. Among those present We're
Gould, f. Jay Gould and others of that
distinguished family. who made the jour,
ney from New York to Philadelphia and
return in a four-in-hand coach "A brill
liant reception followed at Mr.. Adamson'
house and the newly-wedded pair left tor
a honeymoon trip through the South ana
West
Thus far everything had proceeded as
merrily as the proverbial and appropri-
ate marriage bell. but there was disas-
ter in store Young Dr. Palen had met
and loved Miss Thompson, young and
very attractive professional nurse, and
according to this young womans story
he promised her marriage and let it be
known far and wide that it was their
intention to become man and wife. This
understanding continued, said the plaint-
if, until her eyes were suddenly opened
by the intelligence that DR.. Palen was
wooing another. This was finally con-
firmed by his marriage to Miss Adam
son. After consulting with her friends
an attorney was instructed to institute
proceedings in breach of promise and Il
week or so ago they were begun in com
mon pleas court. The result was that
Judge Sulzberger directed a capias to
issue for DR.. Palens arrest, the bail
being placed at $1,000.
In the course of their honeymoon wan
behring's DR.. PaleI and his bride finally
arrived at Ocean City, n. j.. and there
the doctor was watched by officers repre-
senting the plaintiff until he left for
Philadelphia on Tuesday last. Upon his
arrival home the writ was quietly served
and the bridegroom accompanied the Off
Ger to the sheriff's office, where two
friends became his bondsmen.
