a Life Saved.

Jamestown, Tenn, October Is, 1891.
My daughter tried physicians and
nearly all remedies for Female irreg-
ularities, but received no relief or
benefit whatever. We had nearly
despaired of her recovery when we
were induced by our postmaster,
Mr.. A. A. Gooding, to try Gerstle's
Female Panacea, and after using four
bottles she was entirely cured, for
which feel it my duty to let it be
known to the world and suffering
humanity, for I believe she owes her
life to the Panacea.

SPORTS GIVE UP HOPE.
Certain to be No Fight In Texas
May be Pulled Off ir Indian
Territory.

Austin, Tex, Sept. 20-It is learned
here today that Judges Davidson and
Henderson of the court of appeals re-
fused to sit with Hurt in the prize-fght
case on the ground that the court cans
rot hold legal session during vacation,
and further that the proper tribunal ~
hear. the case was the county judge of
Dallas county. The regular session OF
the court of appeals begins at Tyler on
the first Monday of next month and it is
said here that the Dallas grand jury
now in session will indict the principals
of the recent fight and they will have q
chance for a hearing before the full bench
in regular session. However this may
be. Gov. Culberson still stands firm and
will prevent the fight under common pen,
al statutes, and his determination has
given currency to a rumOr in sporting
circles that the fight will take place in
the Indian territory not far from Culbert.
Sports here have given up hope of seeing
the fight in Texas

CHINA GIVES ASSENT.
Minister DENLY Arranges for Prompt
Investigation of Cheng
Tu Riots.

Washington, D. c., Sept 20.-Minis-
ter DENLY has at last completed the ar
rangements for the investigation of the
missionary riots at Cheng Tu in the prov
ince of SZechuen, Western China. He
cabled Secretary Olney today that the
Chinese government had withdrawn It's
opposition to the commission and that the
latter would start at once for the scene
of the riots. The riots at Cheng Tu oc-
Cured late last spring, but owing to the
distance of Cheng Tu from the coast
weeks elapsed before even the first re-
ports reached the cable terminus. While
no American missionaries were killed,
much valuable mission property was de-
stroyed and the purpose of the commits
sion is to fix the responsibility for the
OutrageS, secure the punishment of the
guilty parties and probably financial rep
aratiOn for the losses sustained by the
missionaries.
AS the British missions suffered much
more than the American missions, and
in their case there was actual loss of
life, our state department sought to Sc
cure the cooperation of the British gov
eminent in making the investigation and
in a joint demand upon the Chinese gov
eminent for full PREPARATION. just as was
done in the case of the Ku Cheng in
vestigation. The British government con-
scented at first and charged one of their
consuls TO represent it, but delayed send
ing the latter so long that our own gov
eminent. finding that the British would
not be ready until we'll along in the fall.
determined upon independent action. The
Chinese government did not relish this
plan, but according to Mr. Denbys dis
patch it has finally given its consent.

GIBBONS Is RETICENT.
1t is Asserted, However, that a
Protest Against the Fetes
Went to Rome.

Baltimore Nd, Sept. v.-Cardinal
Gibbons would say nothing today concern
ing the published statement that he had
sent to the Pope an address of protest
against the Roman fetes. 1t is known,
however, that the Cardinal did, on Sep
TENDER 6, issue such protest addressed
to the Catholic clergy of America, in
which he also requested that prayers be
offered for the restora ton of the pontiff S
temporal power This, it is thought. is
the address referred to in the cable dis
patches.
Washington, D. c., Sept. 20.--The pro
Ject originating in London of raising
S1,O00,0OO to be placed at the disposal
Of the Pope as a fund with which ne
could negotiate with Italy for a restora-
ton of temporal power is regarded By
leading Catholics here as visionary and
absurd. 1ne reported circular issued in
London has not been seen in this city
ties in any form. 1t is regarded as the
emanation either of some we'll intentioned
but misguided individual or else of some
one DESTROYS of arousing prejudice against
the church. 1t is stated that no such
plan is within the bounds of possibility.
Even if the vast amount named was
available as a means of assisting Italy
in her financial embarrassment, it is
said that the restoration of temporal
power involves sentimental considerations
which neither Italy nor the Pope would
reduce to a question of barter.

MINERS BACK TO WORK.
Troops at lshpeming will Probably
Break Camp Early Next
Week.

Ishpeming, Mich, Sept 21.-[SpeciaLl-
The first breakup Of the troops called
out by the strike occurred at noon to-
day, when the detachment of the Calumet
company. which has bene at Champion
for the past two weeks, returned to Ish-
peming Affairs at Champion are very
quiet, and it is now evident that the strik-
erS will not cause more trouble there.
The union is practically broken and near
y every member of the organization has
thus far applied for work. Over 100 men
called on Supt. Fitch in a body this morn
ing and asked to be given their old places.
Twenty were selected from the crowd and
Immediately put to work. Others will be
put on as soon as room can be made for
them in the mine. 1t is the intention of
the company to employ as many men as
before the walkout.
Col. Lyon says the Ironwood company,
which is doing service at the Buffalo
mine, Negaunee. will likely be trans
ferred to Ishpeming this afternoon or to-
morrow. The men there have given
Manager Cole assurance that they will
not interfere with the workmen who
were brought in from outside. In view
of this fact the outside men do not fear
molestation and have consented to work
without military protection Col Lyon
is of the belief that the services of the
troops will not be required here after
Monday. when it is expected a great
many of the men will be at work In
case the strikers do not. manifest a
disposition to interfere with the shovel
men on Monday, the troops will quite
likely break camp.

on the third Monday IL September. 1896.
The large session Of the grand lodge be-
gan at 9:30 this morning. Richard
Muckle of Pennsylvania, the newly-elect-
ed grand treasurer. was duly installed.
The matter of purchasing property in
Baltimore for the use of the national
officers came up. The special committee
reported that they had made a thorough
investigation and found that the property
had a city valuation of SD. OBJ and the
owners VIII sell the property to the grand
lodge for $2S,750.
1t was voted to purchase the property.
This settles the fight Of many years
standing as to whether sovereign grand
lodge officers should have their hea dquar-
ters in Baltimore or Washington.
The Fargo case one CT the most impor~
tant questions of the session, came up
and was settled. The committee to
which the matter was referred reported
that the report of the grand sire upon
the Fargo difficulty was unhesitatinglr
endorsed The committee also cons1d-
cred the report of the special COMMITTEES
of this body made last year and fully en>
dorsed all the reports as being clear.
1t was made clear that the items OF
$500. $500 and 1871 % were not used or
required for legitimate expenses and the
relief destitute brothers and sisters and
that the total amount of $11, 037.29 be
returned to the lodges in the different
states from which it was received.
A motion on a resolution TO reduce
the price of travelling visiting cards to 10
cents each to grand lodges and to all
others at an advance Of 25 per cent. to
take effect January /, 1896, was in
definitely postponed.
After hard struggle the proposition to
give the grand lodges power to order sub
ordinates or Rebekkah lodges to pay
benefits was lost The finance commit
tee reported that the estimated expenses
for next year were &6966S.29. and that
amount was appropriated. 1t will be
raised by per capita tax levied on the

GubernatoriaI Chances of John kean I'm
proved.
Trenton, n. J., Sept. 19.-No conven-
ton in recent years has caused SO much
excitement in this city as the Repub-
lican gathering of today All the guber-
material candidates were astir early to-
day and working their hardest to win.
The chances of John Kean were ma
terially strengthened by the action of
the Camden candidates. They met and
practically decided to abandon Senator
Rogers. The state committee met and
united upon J. Frank Fort of Newark
for permanent chairman of the conyen-
ton.
This afternoon when Franklin Murphy
called the state convention to order,
prayer was offered by Rev. DR.. Hanlon
of Pennington seminary, who eulogized
the Republican party and prayed that
the candidate nominated might be elect
ed. After prayer Chairman Murphy
recommended, on behalf of the state
committee. the name of Congressman
Mahlon Pitney for temporary chairman.
Congressman Pitney, in accepting the
temporary craftsmanship. thanked the
convention for having complimented his
district in selecting himself After the
usual committees had been formed a re-

THE ADMIRAL'S FUNERAL.
Tribute Paid to Parejo at Havana
Sharks Have DeVoured the
Other COrpSeS.

Havana, Sept 20.-The funeral of Adj
miral Delgado Parejo, one of the vic
TINS of the sinking of the Spanish cruiser
Barcastegui, today, was the occasion of
an imposing demonstration of public sOr-
row and appreciation of a brave officer.
In it were the prominent military, naval
and civil persOnages in the city, mem
bers of the various consulates, represent
atives of all political parties and many
people we'll known in society here.
Gen. De Campos, who is at present
IN the province of Santiago de Cuba on
official business, telegraphed an express
sion of his sorrow at the death of Adj
miral Parejo and ordered that a wreath
of flowers be placed upon the catafalque
for him.
No more bodies of those who were
lost by the sinking of the Barcastegui
have been recovered, and it is supposed
that the corpses have been devoured by
sharks, which are very numerous at the
entrance of the harbor.
Admiral Delgado Parejo was born in
Cadiz in 1928. At the age of Is he en-
tered the naval school and six years
later, in 1850, was made a subaltern
in the Spanish navy. In 1857 he was

was given command of a frigate. In
1872 he was given the full rank of cap
tain and in 1891 was promoted to be

the medal of the cross of Africa and the
grand cross of San Hermenegildo for
naval merit of the first class and for
military merit of the second class in the
last campaign in Cuba He had execut-
ed many important public commissions.
In private life he was greatly esteemed
as q man of exceptional character, cult
ured and amiable.

Anniversary of the Occupation of Rome
by Secular Forces.

Rome, Sept. 2O.-All Italy is en- fete
today in honor of the silver anniversary
of the occupation of Rome by the 1tal-
ian troops under Gen. Cadorna. This

grated, and this morning there was a
great parade of military and civic bodies
In accordance with the recent decision
of the cabinet, amnesty was granted
this morning to a number of the leaders
of the socialistic disturbances in Sicily
and Massa de Carrara. Among those
receiving free pardons were Barbato and
De Felicis, both of whom were elected
members of the Chamber of Deputies
on the last day of August. A number
of the minor rioters also received COM
mutations of their sentences.
The Pope received today a large num-
Der of strangers and others who had
sought audience of him during the past
month, but who had been requested to
delay their visits until today, so that
they might be regarded as a protest
against the national fetes. In accord
ance with the advice of the Pope, the
Italian Catholics generally abstained
from making any counter demonstra-
lions

THE TOBACCO TRUST.
Arguments Being Made on the
New York Restraining
Order.

Syracuse, n. Y, Sept. 20.-The hear
ing before Acknowledgement Hancock in
ehe action brought by G. A. Whelan OF
this city against the American Tobacco
company to restrain the trust from doing
business in the state was begun today.
Joseph II. Choate. with Oudin q Oakley,
appears for the American Tobacco COM
pany, and +. n. Wilson of this city,
with Einstein & Guterman of New York,
as counsel for Mr.. Whelan.
Mr.. Wilson opened the argument, tully
setting forth the allegations of the pc
titioners and charging the trust with con-
spiracy. He said that each Of the firms
comprising it had formerly done business
separately, and that the capital stock OF
the corporation was SO, 100000, although
the actual assets of the firms comprising
the trust was not more than $5,00O,O00.
He contended that the capital was tlcti-
tious and that the avarice and greed OF
the trust would never be satisfied until 1T
had eaten up all other corporations. I'm
der the methods employed it would be an
easy matter for the trust to pay a divi-
Tobacco company, Mr.. Wilson argued
further, was gotten up for the control of
the market.
Col. Fuller, at the close of Mr.. Will
sons address, presented the claim of the
American Tobacco company. The hrst
important contention that he made on
behalf of the trust was that the price
of cigarettes both to jobbers and con-
sumers has been lower since the Ameri-
can Tobacco company was organized than
ever before. The trust, he said, denies
that since its organization it has alb
sorbed any other factories. He charged
the petitioner with recklessness in the
charges made. The trust alleges, he said
that it increased its business in other lines
Of tobacco much more than in cigarettes
1t uses 100000 pounds of tobacco an
nually in other ways than cigarette manu-
featuring, while it uses but 100000 900
pounds of tobacco annually in making CT

fixes the prices of its own goods and also
that in certain cases it has refused to con-
sign its cigarettes to certain jobbers. but

FRENCH ARMY EVOLUTIONS
Presence of Russian Officials is
Evidence of the Cars
Friendship.

Mirecourt, Sept 19.-Enormous crowds
witnessed the great review today of the
French army which has been maneuver>
ing during the week in the department
of the Vosges. The Russian General
Dragomiroff has been with the troops
throughout the maneuvers. Today Prince
Lobanoff, the Russian minister of foreign
affairs, joined Gen. gomIroff. The
presence of these two representatives OF
Russia with the French army is regarded
as having exceptional significance and is
taken as evidence of the Cars desire
to emphasize the existence of an alliance
between Russia and France on military
ground. Prince Lobanoff is the closest
confidant of Gear Nicholas.
At banquet which was given Wednes>
day night, Gen. Dragomiroff gave the
following toast: ITO fraternity on the
field of battle, to union in combat and to
the little French troops who sometimes
move me to tears"
