Chicago, Dec. 24.-Mrs. r. A. Parme-
lee, IS years old, and the mother-in-law
of ". S. Seaverns, member of the
board of trade firm of l. N. Aah &

street within sight Of thousands of
Christmas shoppers. Mrs. Parmelee
was buying Christmas presents and had
several small bundles in her arms.
Cable cars and vehicles were thicker
than usual between Madison and Wash
ington streets. Snow was falling, and
this added to the woman's inability 10
get across State street safely. When

SLAVERY ABOLISHED.

Reforms Being Brought About by French
Government in Madagascar.
Washington, Dec. 24.-AmOng the
earliest reforms of the French govern
ment in Madagascar is decree abolish
ing slavery, a copy of which has reached
the state department from Consul Wet
ter at Tamatave. 1t declares all the
inhabitants free, forbids traffic in hu-
man beings, nullities every contract
providing for the sale of persons, and
imposes penalties for violation of the
law, which are to be tripled in case of
second offense. Other features of the
decree are that France promises not to
impose upon the people of Madagascar
any extraordinary war tax and offers
aid to dispossessed owners of slaves in
the form of territorial possessions. An
other decree relating to schools prohib-
its interference by teachers in political
affairs, and urges instruction in the
French language.

HIS TERM REDUCED.
Sangufly, American Suspect in Havana
Given Eight Years in Prison.

Sangufly, American Suspect in Havana,
Given Eight Years in Prison.
Havana, Dec. 2S.-The reunited tr,-
bunal which judged the proceedings
against Julio Sanguily, a naturalized
American citizen charged with conspir-
acy against the Spanish government,
met Saturday for the first time after
an adjournment for the Christmas holi-
days. The judges decided that San
gully was guilty of a modified quail
tication of the crime of which he was
accused and sentenced him to eight
years and one day Imprisonment.
Sanguily was arrested with 30 others,
including many members of well-known
families of Havana, and confined in
MORO castle. An attempt was made to
try him by court-martial, but through
the efforts of Consul Ramon o. Will
liams Sanguily's American citizenship
was established and he was given a
civil trial, which resulted in his SEN
tence TO life imprisonment at hard la
bor in the mines of Ceuta, Africa. The
case was appealed to the supreme court
at Madrid. The grounds upon which
the United States government inter-
vened in his behalf were that his trial
by military tribunal did not accord
with the terms of the Spanish-Americar
treaty, and he was granted new trial
by the supreme court, resulting as
above announced. 1t is extremely prob
able that another appeal will be made
to the higher courts, the defense dur
ing the proceedings having vainly urged
that the tribunal was illegally consti-
tuted, since six Judges should have pre-
sided, and not five.

A sick person trying to keep up on mere
stimulating tOnics is like any one pretend
ing to swim while supported by belt. The
instant the support is withdrawn down
you go.
Nearly all diseases result from deep
seated impairment of the nutritive powers
which cannot be reached by any temporary
exhilaration. The only good that any med
icine can do is to increase your own natural
powers of recovery and make you able to
swim for yourself
The debilitating weakness, nervousness
and digestive disorder which indicates this
state of mal-nutrition can only be overcome
by a scientific remedy like DR.. Pierce's
Golden Medical Discovery which acts di-
rectly upon the digestive and blood making
organs, and effects the nutritive transforma-
tion of food into rich, healthy blood, which
carries genuine permanent vitality to every
corner of the system.
1t is vastly more nutritious than malt
extracts. It does not paralyze the nerves,
but feeds them with health It is better
than cod liver oil emulsions. It is assimi-
lated by the weakest stomachs. It does

only perfect invigorant for corpulent people

Allentown, Pa, Dec. ga trolley car

Friday afternoon was struck by Jer-
sey Central passenger train on grade

europe Will Probably side with Spain in
Case of Trouble.

London, Dec. 26.-The Times pub
fishes a dispatch from Paris saying thar
the United States has been confidential
ly informed in the most friendly terms
that the European powers could not re-
main impassive in the event of the
United States abandoning the attitude
of President Cleveland and his cabinet.
Should the United States presume to ex-
ercise pressure on Spain by recognizing
the Cuban insurgents or encouraging
them in their resistance, it has been in
formed that Europe generally might
become uneasy at the idea of such an
extension of international action by the
United States, inas1nuch as it might at
a given moment threaten almost all
the powers whose possessions are in
proximity to the United States and
might tempt the spirit of enterprise
and encroachment that is inspiring the
senate committee on foreign relations
If" continues the writer. II am cor
-ectly informed, the United States has
been concurrently informed that Ger

with Spain in the event of the United

eeeding in certain foreign offices anent

mated, Senator Cameron's resolutions

Bran for Germany.

The Pillsbury- Washburn company
shipped 25 cars of bran out over the
Minneapolis & st. Louis for Germany.
1t is rather unusual to consign bran to
foreign ports, but Eichenburg & Co..
OF Hamburg. wanted some of the arti.
Gle to feed German stock. and so placed
an order through Andrews & Co. The
bran was taken out by special freight,
and will be transferred to the steamer
at Newport News. The destination of
the trainload will be well advertised,
for the cars were covered with banners
stating to whom consigned and the
purpose for which the shipment will be
sent across the briny.

Reception to a Young Lady.

Prof. j. A. Hand and wife gave Q recep-

which the members of the Beethoven club
and their friends were invited. Dainty
refreshments were served, and q most de
lightful evening was spent by those pres
emit.
The numbers on the musical program
were inpromptu, but they were splendidly
executed by Herr Carl Groeshner, Miss
Beatrice Atkins, Mrs. L. II. Hofmeister,
Mrs. Jennie Hawkins, Mrs. John Robbins
and Mrs. DIR. Hernandez, each In solos.
1t was quite a disappointment to those
present that Miss Anchor suffered . cold
and was not able to sing, but the public
generally will have the pleasure Of listen
ing t oher at the next midsummer con-
cert, about the 10Th of this month.
Miss Anchor is very favorably impressed
with Las Vegas n delighted with the
people she has met here and the encourage
ment given her. Should she conclude to
remain here and organize a vocal class, she
will indeed be a valuable acquisition to
musical circles, as we'll as Q boon to the

Elsewhere 10 this Issue, appears a card
from Sister Mary Baptist, head OF tbs
Sisters OF Charity in this city. II Is known
to all that, for years, the people of Las

tablishment Of a sanitarium at this point
A number of schemes we're tried and
failed, the most promising coming t.
naught. Finally, the Sisters OF Charity
stepped IN and at an uncomfortable expense
to the city, they have made a complets
success of the long-delaye ed and much-dis-
Guessed project. An elegant and COM
modious structure Is now In process oil
erection, which will be an honor and q
benefit to Las Vegas, and a blessing to
suffering humanity.
Now, as the building grows In our sight,
these good Sisters come before the public
and o q fair, the proceeds Of which
are to be devoted to furnishing the SAM
tarium, and for this purpose they ask of
the community a hearty support.
The OPTIo, beforehand, can assure them
that such will be the case. This communi.
ty cannot, IL it would, and would not II II
could, neglect such an appeal. The fall
will receive the united and hearty support
OF all classes In this city, and no doubt the
means will be amply provided for the fur
nishing Of the sanitarium. THE OPTIo will
have more to say on this subject.
