He has arrived safely in Los Angeles at
last, accompanied by his faithful little
spouse. They were compelled to come by
very roundabout way, but distance made
no difference. They were determined to
get here. and early yesterday morning
were seen crossing the Los Angeles river
near First street: "They're quite English,
you know" but in spite of this they did
not meet with the enthusiastic reception
that former English tourists received on
visiting this country. On numerous occa-
sions en- route they were compelled to re-
sort to some old barn or other outbuildings
for shelter at night. Finely dressed, of
pronounced English style and blood, bear
ing themselves with proper dignity always,
even when they were denied admission to
many first or second-class hotels, what
little baggage they had they always carried
with them, they appear to be travelling for
their health, for they have never yet been
seen to do much else but eat, drink, sleep
and try to be merry.
Their ways are rather peculiar. They al
ways retire early and get up somewhat
earlier than most Americans do, and inva-
riably before having breakfast insist on
singing kind of song. This is one reason
why they we're denied stopping at certain
places en- route. At times they we're decid-
edly puRnacious and seemed determined
to have their own way in everything, and
only resort to force would deter them.

In retiring at night they always insist on
getting as near the top story as possible,
though why they will not say. They have
blood relations in almost every city and
town in the United States. The family

some being very close to the crowned

eastern states, particularly in Iili-

a reward offered for their apprehension.
Many sought to get the reward, but with
many hairbreadth escape they got safely

They have not yet ascertained that no
reward is offered for them here in Cali

When they find they are comparatively
safe. Some of the railroads refused to
allow them to ride even on freight trains,
but Notwithstanding this they had very

and kindred places, and foraging on the
farmers. they managed not to suffer very
much, for both of them have splendid
constitutions and appetites like the aver

Dreadful
Rheumatism.

No disease has puzzled the doctors
SO completely as rheumatism-that de-
p1orab1e condition of the blood which
so often renders the strongest man as
helpless as babe. Their mercuria1
and potash remedies may in some
cases impart temporary relief, but are
sure to ultimately result in wrecking
the entire system.
Rheumatism is a deep-seated blood
disease and only a real blood remedy
will have any effect whatever upon
it. Most of the so-ca1led blood rene
dies are at best only tonics and cam
not reach an obstinate blood trouble.
One of the most frequent symptoms of
rheumatism is tingling sensation of
the parts affected, generally brought
about from lack of free circulation
of the blood through the very small
blood conductors. This trouble is al
ways elir1inated by the use of s. S. s.;
it thins the blood, gives it free and
forcible circulation, destroys the pois-
onous microbes and restores the circu-
lation to its normal condition.
Mr.. Robert H. King, prominent
and influential citizen of West Point,
Va, writes of his experience with this
dread disease:
"About five years ago was great
sufferer from rheumatism. l was
treated by all the leading physicians
