the Knowledge, that so many forms OF

remedy with millions Of families, nndis
everywhere esteemed so highly by all
who value good health. Its beneficial
effects are due to the fact, that 1T is the
one remedy which promotes internal
cleanliness without dcbilitating the

nli important, in order to get its bene'
fetal effects, to note when You pur'
chase, that you have the genuine arti'

all reputable druggists
If in the enjoyment of good health,

1t was agreed that the most aggressive
fighter should be given the decision and
the ruling of Referee King in favor Of
Green did not meet with the approval OF
a great portion of the audience. The
Boston lad rushed his opponent
throughout, and in the tenth and last
round Green was groggy and Ze1gier
landed at will, having much the best OF
the round, and being the fresher OF the
two men when time was called. Never
theIess, the referee decided that Green
had scored the most points, and ac-
cordingly gave him the decision, which
called forth more groans and misses
than applause.

A SOLICITOR SKIPS OUT,
Leaving a Shortage Which rlay
Amount to Thousands.

SAN FRANCISCO, May Henry
Ryan. solicitor for Brown, Craig & Co.,
general fire insurance agents, has dis
appeared, leaving behind him shortage
of from $3.50 to $1,000.
In addition to this, Ryan is also be-
hind in his accounts with Acme Court,
Foresters of America, of which order
he is Treasurer. The amount Of the de-
falcation SO far discovered is 500, but
there is a general belief that the total
will run much higher before the investi-
CATION is concluded. Acme Court, how
ever, is safe from financial loss, because
of an ample bond furnished by the Pa
cific Surety Company.
1t is the old story of wine and women
with the cards left out. Ryan is mar
ried man with two children. Less than
a year ago the couple separated, the
wife going to her mothers, the hus-

stood speechless on the stage, while
Lindsey, recognizing his assailant, rose
to his feet, stammering to James, This

ence was wild with excitement.
Without the least interference being
made the woman continued to belabor
Lindsey about the head and shoulders.
Finally some one rang down the cur
tain, and a policeman rushed in and
placed the woman under arrest. The
play proceeded, with the rest of the act
omitted.
After the play Lindsey said he had
known the woman for some time, and
at one time they were quite friendly.

unable to get rid of her attentions. She

some neutrality-suspicious..
From the Chicago Tribune.


Thomas Edison invented new kind of
peep-show a few years ago. AS the wiz
ard of Menlo Park has small Latin and
less Greek, some one else called it a kim
etoscope. This does not mean anything
in particular-and would not even to q
Porson-but II became and is the name
of the particular scientific toy which Edi-
son invented. Still others, seeing in il
something of commercial value, patented
the device, Incorporated a company, and
went kinetoscoping through the country.
Recently a party of kinetoscopisfs
sought to introduce the art of kineto-
scopy into Mexico. incidentally this in
ciuded aiding and abetting a sort of
armed invasion of a nation with which
we are at peace, but of this the kinet-
oscopophiles rocked nothing. Nor did
the fact that they We're willing to be ac-
cessory before, during, and after the com
mission of a crime against the peace
and dignity of the United States a mat

Illustrating only too Wei the kako-kineto-
scopic side of the question.
When all the various apparatuses Dre-
scribed in the kinetoscopologica treat

kinetoscopers duly placed in charge. the
microscopes set in the ring and everv-
thing done to make the kinetoscopograp6s

have to record the humiliating fact There

certain What the occasion needed and

This teaches three things: First, that

that kinetoscopophilic habit carried 10

A WALKING MOUNTAIN.

Advancing at the Rate of Fifteen
Feet Day and Creating Havoc in
It's Path.
Paris, Feb. 27.-An object of the greatest
interest in Continental Europe is the walk
ing mountain in Gard, which is moving to-
ward the river of the same name at the
rate of fifteen feet a day. Its advance
has destroyed the machinery and pits of
the Grand Combe colliery, and has de-
stroyed nearly a mile of the Alais railway
The great thing now is to prepare new
channels for the Gard and Carbon rivers
which are sure, when the landslip comes
to be completely choked up.
Six hundred persons have been Obliged
to leave their homes at Grand Combe
The lower strata of mountain, which rises
sheer from the valley, are grit and green
mari. Both have given way, owing TO
the infiltration of the rain.
Yesterday 5000 persons went from
Mines to see the moving mountain from
the range fronting it. The noise it makes
is frightful. There are wide cracks i'm ali
directions. Nobody is suffered to go on the
mountain or into the valley on which it
advances.
