TRYING 10 WAiEN OISEY.
His Attention Gated to the waller oat-

RACES.
WASHINGTON, October %. - Ethclbert
Wood ford, who was IN Madagascar at
the time the time the proceedings
against ex-Consul Waller were in prog
ress, to-day presented his version of
the case to Acting Secretary Uhl of
the state department. Besides con-
tending, as he did strenuously, that the
the proceedings Of the French authori-
ties were entirely unwarranted, and
that the French court was without
jurisdiction, Mr., Woodford presented
affidavits secured by himself from ru-
merols persons in Antanannrivo to
show that Waller had not been supply
ing the Hovas with arms, as was
charged. lie also called the attention
of the secretary to the misireatment
to which Mrs Waller has been subject
ed by the French soldiers on board
ship coming from Mauritius to Mar
settles, for which he thinks Consul
Campbell, of Mauritius, is largely re-
sponsible, because of his failure to Sc
cure better aecomm odatlons for her
WASHINGTON, October %. There is
Little hope for eS-Consul Waller. De
spite tie appeals which Mrs. Waller,
who arrived in Washing ION to-day, viii
make in her husbands behalf. it may
be said on authority chat no cHort
will lie made by the administration to
secure Walters release from the French
prison iii which he is now confined
under a sentence of twenty years. a
few weeks ago Secretary Oneg was
inclined to believe Waller unjustlY
treated and WIZ; prepared to make a
strong demand for the eS-consuE,s s re-
lease should the facts bear ont this
assumption. Unfortunately they did
not, says a Washington specia to the
Times Herald, and the president and
secretary of state are convinced that
Waller received no more than his Just
deserts.

DEATH IN THE AIR.

A changeable climate is the most exciting cause of pneumonia. The mild to-day, cold tomorrow, weather is prolific breeder of the disease. It is contracted by exposure to wet and inelement weather, from stand ing or sitting with cold feet; by going from hot and Over-crowded rooms into the keen night air, and by sitting in draughts.
 The proper way to treat pneumonia is to prevent it's development.
 Have care that you are sufficiently clad to meet indictment and changeable weather. See that the wet feet and exposure to draughts do not result in cold. If a cold is contracted check it at once before pneu- monia is developed; for it is a well known fact that protracted cough may suddenly develop into pneumonia, with slight addi- tional cold. Don't let the disease make any headway. Fortify the system against it by rich, nutritious, liquid food. This can be accomplished in no other way so we'll as by the liberal use of Ozomulsion, an ozonized preparation of Cod Liver Oil with Guaiacol, prepared by T. A. Slocufn Co.,, New York, and sold by all Druggists. Taken early, when the first symptoms of the cold appear, it cures it promptly and prevents the development of pneumonia. It is a rich, liquid food and it is a well known fact that strong food is the most formidable foe of pneumonia. It keeps the blood well nour shed and puts the tissues in such a condition thlt they throw of the cold and thus resist the disease.

LONG LITIGATION ENDED.
The Manitoba School Case Decided by
Prfvy Councillors.

In the presence of Baron Watson. lord Of
extraordinary, Lord MacNaghten,
lord of appeal-in-ordinary, and Lord Shand
a member of the judicial committee Of the
privy council, the lord chancellor. Baron
Herschell, yesterday in London delivered
judgment allowing Catholics appeal from
the decision of the supreme court of Can
ada, in the case of Brophy and others agt.
the attorney general of Manitoba, rendered
on February ~, 1894. and known as the
Manitoba school case" No costs were
allowed.
What is known as the Manitoba school
case has been long. tedious and expensive
and religious animosity. Its settlement
of the controversy are these:
In 1870 Manitoba was admitted to the
Canadian confederation. Its first legisla-
ture passed a school law providing for
Protestant and Catholic schools, to be sup
ported by these respective religionists.
But in 1880, the Greenway government
passed an act appropriating all school
taxes to the support of common school
system. When, under this law, the city of
Winnipeg sought to collect school taxes
from Roman Catholics, they resisted pay
ment, and began an action to contest the
constitutionality of the act, contending
that under the Manitoba act comforting
provincial jurisdiction the legislature had
no right to take away the rights Of sep
arate UNCONVENTIONAL schools held by the
Catholics prior to federation.
