In the 30 years that DR.. Pierce's Pleasant
Pellets have been sold, hundreds of thou
sands Of people have taken them, and have
been cured by them. There is no longer
any possible question Of their efficacy.
They are the product of experience, tried
by time. They are intended to cure con-
stipation. They are good for men, wo-
men and children. They are tiny, sugar
coated granules, very easy to take, very
quick in their action. One pellet " is
gentle laxative, two pellets" a mild
cathartic. A great many people make
the mistake of sandbagging their d.
gestiye organs. They take Some strong
and violent medicine, which creates
worse troubles thar it cures Strong
purgatives shock the system unnecessar-
lily, and they do not cure constipation.
Constipation is thing that makes peo-
pie listless and languid; makes their
breath bad; wakes them up with foul
taste in their mouths; puts black spots
before their eyes; makes them dizzy;
causes headache; makes them bilious ;
produces pimples and blotches-runs into
all sorts of serious consequences. All this
is cured by DR.. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets
cured absolutely, perfectly, permanently.

GLOUCESTER FISHING SCHOONER
WRECKED WITHOUT A WARM
ING.
NINE SAILORS WENT DOWN.
SURVIVORS TELL A TALE START
LING AND ALMOST INCRED-
IBLE.
Masts Snapped Like Pipestems-
Storm Ended in Less Than
Sixty Seconds.

NEW BEDFORD, Mass, April 20.-Nine
Gloucester fishermen were lost off Long Island
on Friday night, when the fishing schooner
J. W. Campbell, of Gloucester, was sunk in
squall. The seven survivors arrived here
tonight to tell the story. They were brought
into port by the Gladiator from the schooner
Norman, which picked the men up after they
had spent an entire night and day in an open
boat without food. The names of those lost
are.
Capt. Robert Smith, John Mcclure, Frank
Sylvia, Thomas Rogers, George Ella, William
McAllister, Abel McCormey, George Graham,
Charles Doherty, all of Gloucester.
The sinking of the Campbell was remark
able In several respects. The fatal squat was
one OF the most sudden and terrific in the
memory of the surviving seamen. 1t was all
over in about minute. 1t happened so quick
ly and there was so little warning that there
was no time to avert calamity or provide for
escape AS 1t was, it seems remarkable that
there was a single survivor. The escape
seemed but a trick of fate
When the squall struck her the vessel ca
reened under the terrible blow, and all real
lied that their lives were in danger. Seven
OF the sixteen sailors quickly clambored I'D
the masts No sooner had they done so
than second. and far more powerful, gust
OF wind seized the craft, and seemed to lift
1t bodily off the sea. Then, as If in a mighty
grasp. the vessel was wrenched and given
sudden twist with such violence that the
masts snapped Off even with the deck like
toothpicks, and were hurled far away from
the reach of the vortex made by the ship
as she fell back into the water and sank
like piece of lead.
inns Is the story, as told by the survivors,
After the squall subsidized the moon came
out, and by Its light the seven survivors,
VINO still chung to the masts in spite of the
awful shock of being thrown through the
air and striking the water as they did, were
able to find dory, into which they clam
bored after bailing it out. All night long
and all the next day they drifted helplessly
about the sound without food or water.
Then they were picked up by the schooner
Norman. and later were transferred to the
tug Gladiator, which brought them to this
port. They lost everything except the
clothes they had on their backs. They will
be sent to their homes tomorrow,

KILLED. THE. MOUSE.
But the Girl Got a Bad Scare and

nut the G1rl Got a Bad Scare and
Felt Little Guilty.
CONSERVATION was created among a
large group of young ladies attending
a o'clock tea recently in German
town by the unexpected appearance Of
mouse about time tea was being
served. A stampede to other parts of
the house was nothing in comparison to
the trouble which developed later on.
An open cupboard door allowed the
mouse to hide in a pasteboard box,
when young girl, more courageous
than the rest, quickly clapped the lid
on and held the disturber of the peace
prisoner, runs story in the Philadal-
phla Record.
The serious question then arose what
to do with the little captive, and one
Of the fair ones suggested the cruel ex-
pedient Of throwing the box and its
contents into the stove in the kitchen,
in order to be sure that the mouse
was disposed Of for good. This sug-
gestion was at once acted upon, but
the moment the box touched the Goals
terrific explosion took place, shak-
ing the house and frightening the WON
en- nearly into Mysteries.
The box had contained saltpeter. The
mouse was killed sure enough, but
the stove was dismant1ed and some of
the girls were Frustrated by nervous
shock. They now say that they will
never again attempt to kill a mouse

the game. Minneapolis failed to hit the
ball, although putting up a nice fielding
game. The Minneapolis team is beginning
to show up in team work, but needs practice
with the willow. Des Moines led with two
scores in the first inning. In the sixth inn
ing Werden got a double Lally lined out a
single and Frank brought them both in on
a single. This tied the score, and it looked
like the Millers were going to have another
game to their credit. In the eighth inning
Corners and Duryea piled up two errors.
Preston made a two Dagger and brought
home Lehman for the winning run. Both
sides failed to score in the ninth. Wilmot
made a beautiful play in left field in the
ninth inning. With three men on the bags
he made a phenomenal throw of Fletcher's
fly to home plate. Moran did not have to
move to catch the ball, and likewise Purvis,
who came a fraction of second later.
Fletcher's catch in right field of Werdens
foul, and throw to first, doubling up Lally,
was the other feature Of the game. Des
Moines won through sharp fielding.

His SIowness Causes q Big Firm to

FlTTSBURG, Pa, April 1e.-The Sterling
Steel company, of McKeesport, manufacturers
of the Misunderstanding armor-piercing pro-
Jectiles, is in peculiar financial difficulties.
For several months past they have been
working on large order of projectiles for
the United States government which has cost
them hundreds of thousands of dollars, for
which they have received no money in re-
turn. They have consequently been compell-
ed to pass their regular pay day and sus-
pend operations. The credit Of the company
Is hrst-class, however, and it is expected
the plant will resume in few days. An Off
cial of the company says: 1.-THE government
appropriation intended to pay us has been
used for another purpose. We expected to
get half of the appropriation and the Car
penter Projectile company the other half, but
bill for one of the big steel companies was
put through which practically wiped it out.
The new appropriations will not be available
until congress adjourns. We have delivered
to the government over $780, 900 worth of
projectiles for which we have approved bills.

GEORGE LANGFoRD,s HONOR.
44e Is Sure for the Stroke in Ya1e's
Eight.


Not the least honor in an athletic way that
has lately fallen to the lot Of st. Paul is the
selection of George Langford, of this city, as
stroke of the varsity crew again this year.
Although young Langford is only nineteen
years of age, he has taken first position in
athletics at Yale already, and was stroke Of
the varsity crew the first time that position
was ever filed by freshman. He is six feet
two inches in height and weighs 176 pounds.
He went to Yale year ago last September
and rowed No. in the freshman crew, being
accepted there Immediately. In the spring he
row ed in several positions in that SHE'LL and
in February he and another promising men,
Der, Cadwallader, were taken from it to the
varsity crew. At first he rowed bow, seven
end five in turn, but was finally changed to
the port side of the boat and made stroke
eventually, of what Bob Cook says was the
fastest crew that Yale ever had He was in
the winning crew at New London when the
Blues beat Harvard, notable victory, in that
the stroke was not only freshman, but in
his first varsity race, as WELL This year he
is sure of his place in the boat, and has been
in active training with the new stroke which
Bob Cook has devised for the mile and half
distance at Henley. This is quicker and moro
pronounced than Cooks we'll known Yale
stroke for the four-mile race but the stroke
is of the same length. The recovery is quick
err the catch harder and the drive heavier.
