About six months ago my little son, aged
three, was very much troubled with a breaking
out on his scalp and behind his ear. The places
effected were about as large as a silver dollar,
the flesh seemed raw and covered with little
blisters. The child suffered considerably, and
was naturally very fretful. Itried several RENE
dies without obtaining any beneficial results,
in fact the eruptions seemed to be spreading
and new places breaking out. l concluded
to try the CUuCURA REMEDIES, and bought
box of CUTIcURA, a cake of CUTICURA SOAP,
anda bottle of CUTIeURA REsoLvENT. washed
the effected parts with the CUTIcURA SOAP,
taking care not to irritate the flesh, and applied
CUTIcURA. 1noticed q change for the better in
the appearance of the eruptions in twenty four
hours. continued the treatment morning and
night, and in two weeks the eruptions entirely
disappeared, leaving the skin smooth and the
scalp clean, in fact perfect cure, as have not
seen any indications of any eruption or breaking
out since. / gave the child only few doses of
the CUTIcURA REsoLyENT. consider your
CUTIcURA REMEDIES very valuable, and expect
to keep a small supply constantly on hand. l
believe CUTICURA would be excellent for apply
ing to insect bites, which are very annoying in
this country. C. A. ARMSTRONG;,

BENEFITS or PHYSICAL EXERCISE.
Few men of sedentary habits at
tain sufficient physical stamina to
brave the ills to which flesh is heir.
Sensible literary men know this and
act accordingly.
SHAKESPEARE, while composing his
immortal plays, carried brick and
mortar to build places for their per-
Torrance.
JOHN WESLEY rode and walked
thousands of miles, and it was this
habitual exercise which prepared his
gigantic intellect to put forth those
mighty efforts which enabled him to
do so much good and which must
immortalize his name.
ELIHU BURRITT, one IT the greatest
scholars Of the age as linguist, was,
for long course OF years working
at the anvil eight hours day, and
this exercise not only furnished him
means for prosecuting his intellec-
tual labors, but facilitated his aston.
ishing strides in the acquisition Of
knowledge.
Sir WALTER SooTT, after combining
himself to his desk for several days,
till the energies of his brain bad be-
come exhausted, would mount his
horse, call out his dogs and follow
the chase for days in succession till
be had restored his Frustrated ener-
gies, and chen return to his study.
BYRON was very proud of his beau
ty, and feared, on entering college,
that his tendency to corpulency
| might interfere with his personal ap.
pearance, took severe exercise daily
In order to counteract this tendency
and besides promoting bis health.
WEBSTER was backwoodsman,
born in log cabin on the borders OF
the unbroken forest and Injured to
hard labor And often, breaking
away from public life and shoulder
ing gun he ranged the forest for
days in search of game, besides TAX.
ing other exercise daily.
FRANKLIN, the beacon star of his
profession, was practical printer
and hard worker.
PATRICK HENRY, that unrivaled
star of genius and patriotic eloquence
labored on the farm while young
and was passionately fond of music,
dancing and the chase, the latter oil
which he often followed for weeks
together, camping out in true hun
ter's style.
WASHINGTON, when not employed
by his country, labored assiduously
upon his farm, and was actually driv
ing his plow, when he received the
news of bis election as president.
HARRISON, (the elder), 1.-THE farm
or of North Bend" led life OF great

LINCOLN was boatman and road.

GRANT was tanner-boy.
| JOHNSON was q tailor.
DWIGHT, the great theologian and
scholar, attributed much of his men.

JOHN QUINCY ADAMS, one of the

health.

Americans Doing Penal Servitude in Mex
icau Mines tor Minor OTenses-The story
of Men Who Escaped.
Houston, Texas, April 22.-John H.
Manley. a locomotive engineer, who
recently escaped from the coal mines,
about eight miles from Monterey,
Mexico, is in the city. He said to-
day:
Il was born in Lexington, KY
where my father was well known.
Years ago I went to Mexico as an en-
gineer on the International road
About seven years ago we backed out
of a siding and ran over and killed
q Mexican peon. At the next station
our crew were arrested and thrown in
prison. We were refused intercourse
with friends. Then, without any trial,
we were taken to mine No. 9, near
Monterey. There are still twenty or
thirty Americans there. We could
not communicate with the outside
world. One night last January our
guard got drunk on smuggled whisky
and l took a chunk of coal and
smashed in his head. summoned my
companions, Billy Hughes, my fire
man; Billy Clark, the conductor, and
Frank Goodwin and Billy Stillwell,
the brakemen, all Americans. We
slipped up behind another guard and
knocked him in the head and dropped
his body to the bottom Of the shaft,
222 feet. Taking the pistols off the
dead guards, we struck for the noun
tains and travelled only by night, with
stars as our guide, avoiding all vii
lages and railways. We walked three
weary months, living off roots, herbs
ana an occasional rabbit. About
twelve years ago I saw John Reynolds,
a 16-year-old boy from Syracuse, n.
Y, shot for having killed a Mexican
in self-defense. Some of the prisoners
in mine No. have been confined 20
years. and none Of them ever had the
semblance of a trial"
Nanley tells this story in a straight
forward way and impresses one with
the truth of his statements. He says
the treatment as accorded the prison
ers is worse than in Siberia.

Coney Island, April 22.-There was
only a fair crowd of sports in attend
ance at the arena Of the Seaside Ath-
letic Club when the hour for the be-
ginning Of the bouts arrived. The
first bout was between ALI Hanlon, of
England, and Shadow" Maber, Of
Australia. The decision was given to
Maber after a hard fight.
The next bout was between Jake s.

man, Of Long Island City, eight rounds
at 127 pounds. The fighting was hot
and it was decided a draw.
The big event was a twenty-five
round go between Johnny Connors, Of
Springfield, ILL.,, and Jack Madden, of
Brooklyn, at 1O5 pounds for the ban
tam championship.
Madden seemed to have shade Of
the best of the earlier fighting, though
in the sixth round both were bleeding
at the nose, and in the succeeding
rounds it was give and take between
them in a lively manner.
In the twelfth round Madden's stock
went up agin when he jabbed Con-
nors five times in the mouth without
return. Madden had the fight in
hand from this time on, although Con-
nors made a game attempt to force
the fight in the twentieth round. When

san Fracisco, April 22.-Mrs. Fisher,
a woman with two boys Of five and
seven, formerly Of Indianapolis, has
twice crossed the continent In search
Of the sweetheart who promised TO
marry her, but instead Of doing 50
struck her with a sand bag and robbes
her of $4,000, still claims that ex-
Sheriff Charles S. Laumeister. Of this
city, is the man who caused her all Of
the trouble.
Mrs. Fisher tells how the ex-Sherin,
in the guise of II. Cecil King cOurted
her in person and by letter and then
dspoiled her Of packages Of notes, after
first administering hard rap upon her
head with a sand bag. She even goes
into details and tells OF the reception
in indianapolis when she first met Mr.
King. She tells Of drives in New Or
leans. and has a big bundle OF letters
that King wrote her.
Mr.. Laumeister was never in New Or
leans nor indianapolis, nor does he re-
/semble in any way the description Mrs
Fisher has frequently given Of King,
but nevertheless she is firm in the be-
lief that the eX-sheriff is her recreant
and sandbagging lover.
George A. Knight is the w0mans at
torney. but he don't know what to
make of her actions. She told him that
Strauss. of indianapolis, knew King
and would idetify Laumeister as the
man. Knight wrote 10 Strauss. send
ing a portrait of the eX-sherln. Mr..
Strauss replied that Luameister bore
no resemblance to the man who had
promised to marry and then robbed
Mrs. Fisher. but the woman still held
10 her belief. and as the ex-sherlH
was then in the East, she fastened 70
New York. arriving there SIX weeks
ago. She told the story Of her trouble
to the police and warned them that
I.aumeister was a dangerous person,
and that he would not gracefully con-
sent 10 capture. So two officers visit
ed Mr.. Laumeister's factory ready for
bloodshed. When they saw him they
at once knew from thq description
that he was not King. She had de-
scribed him as a man six feet tall.
Mrs. Fisher was waiting az the police
station in New York when MIR. Lau-
meisfer arrived there His name was
announced 10 her, and she at once
identified him as King. When the
description she had given TO the po-
lice was read 10 her and it was shown
that in no way did 1t correspond with
Laumeister. she said the detectives
were trying 70 fool her. Attorney
Knight does know what to make Of
his client. He is convinced that she
is not crazy, but can offer no explana-
ton Of her strange hallucination that
the ex-sherif is King.
Il think she's got a notion, if you
know what that means, I don't" said

Oliver. She is about seventeen years
Of age and her freshness and beauty

The story from the islands, where
love is likened to perpetual summer,
is that Miller abandoned the young

mother, and that she is now wholly
dependent on charity She is living
with a native family and has been
waiting in vain for assistance from
Miller. When he arrived in Honolulu

Joaquin Miller was averse to discuss
ing the accusation when visited by a
reporter. He did not want to enter
into any dispute with the girl in order
TO defend himself and was willing that
her statements so uncouUadicted 1t
appears that he is still fond Of her,
and from q remark which he let drop,
it was inferred that he might go to
Honolulu, if he can do so with safety,
for the purpose of seeing her again.
