Internal
Cancers.

We have numerous inquiries in re-

esncers. such as cancer of the womb,
sfanach and bowels. When the dis
aase attacks these organs, the doctors
generally admit that it is incurable.
NJ make no boast of what s. s. s. will
do In such cases, as the following let

GENTLEMEN When ! wrote you
the latter part of December, my
5aother was, according to the honest
belief of three physicians, on her
,jeathbed: she could not retain either
feod or medicine on her stomach, and
il did not seem reasonable to think
there was anything but death to re-
gieye her. The doctors informed us
.l9sa had cancer in the lower bowel
and there was no cure for her. She
ss4owed such vitality for a person to
BE- so near death we thought there
iaust be something to help her, and
reading of Others being saved by the
use of your S. 5. s., we thought it
would do no harm, if not some good.
70 try il, so we informed her OF her
condition, just as the doctors had in
formed us, and left it with her to try
yoar remedy or not, as she saw fit.
She concluded to try it and from the
FIRST dose or two, she began to brighten
IN. and improve: she can now get up,
dress and help herself, and can eat
everything or anything she wants and
no distress from it. We all feel quite
hopeful that the cancer will pass away
in due time by the use of your S. s. s.,
which she will now gladly take. You
may make this letter as public as you
choose, and the more so the better, as
100 much praise can not be given your
valuable remedy.

ANY Ill Effect on Business.
New York, July 1G. The cry that
the bicycle trade is iniuring other
branches of business has become 30
general throughout the country that an
impartial reviewof the situation can
not fail to be refreshing at this period.
The sufferers from the popularity of
the pneumatic tired vehicle are alleged
to be the dealers in dry goods, fine
shoes, millinery, jewelry, pianos. and
even wearing apparel. The theatre
managers also complain against the
bicycle. Tho latter may have some
ground for their argument, but the
others enter very little into the merit
of the statement President Coleman
of the Western. Wheel Works, the
company which makes the Crescent
bicycle, says in refutation of the cry
against cycling that number of
things should be considered before
reaching conclusion in this matter.
"To begin with," said he, ''you
should reckon that the larger part of
the money expended for bicycles is
kept in almost CONSTANT circulation,
going to remunerate the mechanics and
middlemen, who are the vital force of
the industry. These people have to
pay for their cluthes. their food, their
shoes and what not, just the same as
other folks. and large part of the
money which you, or the next person,
pay for a wheel eventually passes
through their hands to the merchant.
There is really no hook on which can
be hung that hard luck tale OF the
dealers in general merchandise. The
season has been notably dull in
branches of trade that could not pos.
sibly be affected by the bicycle bust
ness. On tho other hand / am In
formed that the bicycle is held respon-
sible for 80 per cent growth in the
suburban real estate business and some
clothing men with whom l have con-
versed bless the silent steed for a
steadier all-the-year trade than they
have ever known before. Verify this
cry against the bicycle is all bosh.

lows in the jail yard yesterday after
noon and everything was in readiness
for the execution. The counsel of the
condemned men went to Trenton last
evening, applied to the court of errors
and appeals for writs of errors and
they were granted. The lawyers, Stubr
and DENIM, hurriedly returned to
Jersey City, where the writs were
served on Judge Lippincott, Sheriff
John j. Totfey and Clerk Fisher. for
bidding them to hang the men pend
ing review of their cases before the
court Of errors and appeals.
Mackin, when he heard that he had
a new lease of life, tainted, while Genz,
who few days ago tried to kill one of
his death watch, became very surly and
cursed every one in and about the Jail,
saying he wanted to be hanged.

Athletics at the Wilmington High

ASSOCIATION of the High School. This
suggestion bids fair to be carried into
effect. Charge of the athletics is to
be taken by the Alumni Association
and either graduates or students may
participate in the events. 1t is ex-
pected that this change will be bene-
ficlal, for it will relieve the High
School faculty in degree, and will
permit the direction of the sports to be
placed in the hands of graduates,
