II a man knew he was going
to be hanged, he would certainly
make every effort to prevent It.
He would do everything he could
and strain every nerve 10 the last
minute to get himself out of his
predicanent. Men have been
saved from hanging after the
rope was around their necks.
There are ways Of dying that
are not so quick that are even
more certain. The man who
neglects his health, and who III
sickness refuses to take med
icine, really has the rope of dis
ease around his neck. He will
die if he doesn't throw It off. A
man who would struggle against
hanging may yet be very careless
about his health. He may be
travelling straight toward con-
sumption and pay no attention to
it, and yet death by consumption
is much more terrible than death
by hanging. DR.. Pierce's Golden
Medical Discovery will cure 9S
per cent. Of all cases of con-
sumption. Consumption is likely
to be caused by weakness and in
its turn, it increases the weak

New Orleans, La, July % =
This city is thoroughly aroused
ouer the recent movements Of
the Spaniards and Cubans here.
There is no longer any doubt
that the center of operations
for both parties is being trans
ferred from the eastern cities to
ports along the gulf. and that
they are gradually moving 10
the southwest.
The past weeks record has
been remarkable. First was
the discovery that the Spaniards
are quietly building cruiser
for the aid of the Spanish navy.
Second was the appearance of
G. Ewing Price, bearing com
mission papers from the Cuban
secretary of war to raise money
and arms for the insurgens
cause.
Today brought another start.
