SHOT THROUGH THE LUNGS,
An noFensiye 0xmoor Negro Fatally Wounded Wednesday by lawless Party of Drunk
 en Desperadoes.

A report reached the city yesterday that Jake Morrison and two other parties ia tally shot a negro Wednesday after noon in Oxmoor. A gentleman from OK moor told a State Herald reporter that the desperadoes came into Oxmoor drunk and armed to the teeth.
 No one had the nerve to attack them, and they carried everything their way, he said. They met negro boy with a satchel and took 1t away from him, and after wards met another negro, whom they at tempted to rob. The negro, 1t is said, had no money, and he was shot through the lungs, which, it is believed, will re- suit in his death. The desperadoes then left the village.
 Sheriff Morrow, when asked about it yesterday afternoon, said that he did not believe the Morrisons were in the party, and the only particulars known to the sheriff was the fact of the killing. Three brave and determined deputies were sent to Oxmoor yesterday afternoon on horse back, and if they come up with the party arrests will be made or hot battle will follow.

Mime. Nordica has the distinction of be- ing the first great prina donna of American birth.
 She testifies to the health-giving effects of the greatest product of American med ical science-Paine's celery compound.
 Nordica shares with Flames the glory of the first place in grand opera today, not only in this, her native country, but in all the music-loving capitals of Flu rope. At Brescia, in Italy, she sang with overwhelming applause the role of Vio- letta in Verdis La Traviata," an opera which she had the privilege of studying with the famous composer At Milan, Genoa and London the music world were as ready to give her like hearty recep- tion for the beauty of her voice and the simplicity and charm of her vocaliZation and manner. Her work at the Metropol- itan opera house in New York and in Bos- ton has placed her in the very foremost rank of dramatic singers. As Elsa in 'Lohengrin," at Bayreuth, she was the feature of the famous festival. Not since Christine Nilsson has there been a Mar guerite to be compared to Nordica' S splendid impersonation.
 All these successes had for founda- tion the most unrelaxing study and stren-

M. MELINE SUSTAINED.
The Sovereignty of Universal Suffrage Was
 Affirmed by Big Majority.


 Paris, April 30-M Moline, president of the new council of ministers, made statement of the policy of the new cabi- net in the chamber of deputies today. }The chamber received the statement very coldly, scarcely half of the deputies ap- plauding his utterances and the socialists fnterposing their ccustomed interrup- tions.
 The new premier began by saying that he would not attempt to disguise the diffi- culty of the task before him and his col leagues.
 But he said, "there are times when politicians who are devoted to their coun- 1 try have no right to shirk the burdens ot office. We impose upon ourselves the policy of pacification, and will endeavor so restore harmony among the public powers, which is indispensable The chamber exercises dominant action in the general direction of politics" he contin- ped, "but 1t is impossible to legsate and govern without the cooperation of the senate"
 Ex-Premier Bourgeois maintained that either dissolution of the chamber or re- vision of the constitution was the only solution of the situation.
 Premier Moline replied that the cham Der must now choose between a policy of conflict with the senate or a policy of conciliation. The chamber, by vote of 279 to 251, refused to give priority to the proposal of M. Henri Ricard, reaffirming the chamber's rights to preponderance in

against these diseases. Nothing in the entire range of medicine accomplishes this result nearly so well as Paine's celery compound.
 Don't suffer nervous debility to go on. Take warning from dyspepsia and ner- vous headache. Look out for that tired, piayed-out feeling that so frequently ap- pears as spring approaches.
 If the winter has left you weak and languid, Paine's celery compound will restore strength to your nerves will pu- rify the blood and make you we'll. Paine's celery compound duickly sends fresh nutriment to each one of the innu- merable nerve flores; 1t arouses the or gans of digestion and assimilation to brisker action and enables the wasted body to take on flesh and recover from a depressed, siclly frame of mind. It is remarkable how soon that doleful, ap- prehensive feeling vanishes after taking Paine's celery compound.
 Women in charge of liomes and care Worn complaining people find recovery from long sickness hastened and their strength permahently established by the use of this greatest nerve restorer and blood purifier the world has ever been blessed with. Try 1t, and when you go to the drug store for Paines celery com pound see that you get it.

uous effort. No one knows better than the applauded prima donna what such severe work means to the nerves and to the strength. The following letter from Lillian Nordica must be gratefully read by hosts of women.
 Writing to the Wells & Richardson company from Boston on February 24 Nordica said
 "It certainly gives me great pleasure to testify to the health-giving effects of Paines celery compound I truly believe it to be the best of all spring remedies"
 Sweet as health is, many men and wom- en sit with their hands in their laps, afl- ing, discouraged and sad, and do not arouse themselves to get rid of diseases that might certainly be cured--that are, in fact, being cured in hundreds of cases, in every city of this country, during these very spring days, by this same Paines celery compound that Nordica so truly believes in.
 Neuralgia, rheumatism, sleeplessness and dyspepsia indicate very clearly their own alleviation. These troubles come when the bodily vigor is low and the ner- vous system is more or less wasted. As in every case of nervous debility, the one thing to do is to replenish the system with nutriment from which strength may be derived and a firm stand be made

WEYLER BADLY SCARED.
It Was Dynamite Bomb and Not Gas
 Engine Explosion.

Havana, April BOA dynamite bomb caused the explosion in Captain-G General Weyler's palace and not a gas engine as reported. The noise was tremendous and caused intense excitement in the palace and vicinity. The general and officers rushed about giving orders. Even Wey- Ter left the room greatly excited. Only one person was hurt slightly. The. others escaped miraculously. The whole palace was shook by the force of the explosion. Clouds of dust blinded all persons inside and many glass, windows were broken The bomb destroyed the partition wall of the principal counting room and broke two safes. The bomb was placed in the water closet at the southeast corner of the palace on Mercaderes and Obispo streets. The occurrence is the general topic of conversation. It is believed to be the work of laborers. The government says anarchists did it. The police are making a dillgent search but no arrest has been made yet. Strong measures, 1t is said, will be adopted to prevent a repe- tition of similar acts. This happened at Il a. m.
 Gomez's advance is confirmed It is now reported that he has entered Matan- gas province with strong force of 10000 or 12,000 men, five pieces of artillery and plenty of ammunition. It Is presumed an attack on the trocha on both sides in combination with Maceo will follow and hot fighting is expected.

House of Commons.

London, April 30.-In the house of com mons today Joseph Chamberlain, secre- tary of state for the colonies, stated that he had received a cablegram from Sir Hercules Robinson, governor of Cape Colony saying that the executive council of the Transvaal republic met at Pre- toria yesterday for the purpose of copsid- ering what punishment should be in- f1cted upon the leaders of the reform committee whose death sentences had been revoked and were still considering the matter. The Transvaal Boers them selves, Sir Hercules wired, were strong in their condemnation of the severity of the sentence which had been imposed upon the leaders of the reform move ment. and upon the minor prisoners as well, and the prominent Boers were ac- lively al work obtaining signatures to petitions asking the government to miti- gate the punishment of the prisoners or to grant them a free pardon.
 MT. Chamberlain said that he was in- formed that the presiding judge who inn posed the sentences had been borrowed from the Orange Free State. His name he said, was Gregorrowsky, and he was of Polish nationality.
 MT. Reginald McKenna, liberal, asked what truth there was in the report that one of the prisoners, John Hays Ham mond, an American, had been released MT. Chamberlain said that he had no in- formation on the subject.
 MT. J. H. Dalziel, liberal asked Wheth- CT the selection of Judge Gregorrowsky was an indication of impartiality or cor Tuption. MT. Chamberlain made no reply and MT Dalziel gave notice that he would ask the question again in for mai way
