Il Prof. Dixi Crosby, NJ. d., LII D., who
8 for thirtytwo years was at the head Of
y Dartmouth Medical College, belonged to
the famous Crosby family Of physicians,
s which for several generations has furnished
q more distinguished medical men than any
s other family in America. His father was
9 Dr. Asa Crosby Of Dartmouth, who pro
S cured the charter of the State Medical
8 Society, Of which he was for thirty years 4
s conspicuous member one brother, Dr.. Josiah
q Crosby, invented the invalid bed and the
method Of making extensions of fractured
s limbs by adhesive strips; another brother,
= DIR. Thos. r. Crosby, was chief surgeon in
4 Columbian College Hospital during the war,
8 and later professor Of animal and vegetable
s physiology at Dartmouth College while DR..
3 DiXi Crosby himself was the inventor and
3 discoverer Of various important improve
y ments ia medicine and surgery, including 4
. rev and unique mode Of reducing metacarpo-
) phalangeal dislocation, opening of abscess at
z ipjoiat, etc, etc.
4 AZ the early age Of twenty-four his ex-
s tr@osdiaarg skill ard success in overcoming
s disease had already attracted the attention

FIRE IN MILLER's CAFE.

Blaze of Coal Oil Lamp Ignites the
 Wooden Ceiling of a West Water
 Street Dining Room.
 An alarm of fire was sent in from box r at the corner of Lafayette street and Columbus avenue about S:3O o'clock last evening. The fire was in George MilIer's restaurant at 279 West Water street. It was caused by the blaze of an oil lamp used for lighting the dining room. The heat from the lamp, which hung near the wooden calling, was intense enough to cause the boards to become ignited.
 Three children sleeping on the floor above the cafe, which is used by MT. Miller for a residence, were taken out ot the building without mishap. The fire was soon extinguished by the two streams played upon it by engine No l and the use of the hand extinguishers. The loss to the building and to the fur niture of the cafe will amount to about $500; covered by an insurance.

EfGHY1T WARD SILYERITES

Pass Resolutions at Meeting Last Night.
 At a large meeting ofthe Eighth ward silver democrats held last night, Will liam Kay was chairman and Edward Green secretary The following resolu- tions, on motion of Attorney Martin Conlan, were adopted:
 Whereas, At the last election the re- publicans carried this democratic stronghold by an enormous majority, and
 Whereas, It has been stated in the public press that certain leaders of the democratic party in this city seem de- sirous of keeping the republicans in power, by keeping alive the issues on which the democratic party divided and by attempting to deny the voters formerly with us the right to take part in democratic primaries or vote for democratic nominees,
 Resolved, That If said statements are true, the action of these leaders shows short-sightedness, and is subversive of the interests of the democratic party
 and is opposed to the wishes of a great 1 majority of the democratic voters Resolved, That we hereby invite all voters who believe in democratic prin- ciples to join with us and participate
 in the coming primaries for city and town elections and to give lIS their support that we may raise the demo- | cratic party to it's proper place in this city and give the republican office seekers an illustration of an old-time democratic victory.
 Resolved, That this caucus instruct the delegates from this ward to the l several conventions to endeavor to car- ny into effect the spirit of these reso- lutions.

EUMoR UNFoUNDED.
No Now Order for Rifles Received by Win
 chester Arms Company.

No Now Order for Rifles Received by Win
 chester Arms Company.
 There has been & rumor in the air which found publicity yesterday in an afternoon paper, to the effect that the Winchester Repeating Arms company is expecting every minute to receive an order for 100000 Lee army rifles from the United States government. and Uncle Sam is represented as being in an intense hurry for the guns, being in fighting mood, on the verge of declaring war with Spain.
 The rumor is reported purely imagln- tive by the officers of the company.
 The company, as is generally known, has been employed for nearly year in filling an order for 10000 of the Lee rifles and the order is now nearly filled. No other order is anticipated at pres ent.
 At the time the order was received the company had no tools or dies for making this particular flrearm, and had to manufacture them. This pre- paration delayed the filling of the order for several months. Had the company ! been equipped with the tools it would l have required but few weeks to get out the 10000 rifles, with the great ca- pacity of the works
 It was the Lee rifle which the Win- chester company placed in competition with the Savage gun, for the equip ment of the New York militia. The Lee rifle, on a severe test, beat the Saw | age gun, but the judges awarded the contract to the Savage company. Af- | terward the Winchester company charged that the judges and the Say age officials were in collision and the I charges had the effect of revoking the | judges recommendation, and taking the contract from the Savage company. The matter is now awaiting the action of the New York legislature.

AFRAID OF CONSUMPTION.

People who lose flesh are In danger Of
consumption. In many cases loss Of flesh
Is the first symptom OF the dread disease.
Light weight Is too often a sign Of some
wasting disease which gets its first start
from indigestion. Cure the Indigestion and
health. strength and flesh will be rapidly re-
gained
All physicions are agreed that the most
important thing to be done In such Cases is
to improve the appetite and digestion. and IL
this cannot be done there Is very little hone
for strength, hosh, pure blood and strong
nerves can only come from plenty OF whole
sCme food well digested.
This Is the reason so many physicians rec
ommend Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets. because
of their wonderful inyigorating and nutritive
properties. For loss of ygor. headaches
constipation. sonr risings and other symp-
toms OF dyspepsia they constitute the safest
most natural cure. Aud there Is a good
reason for their success. They are com
posed OF the natural digestive acids and
fruit essences which every weak stomach
lacks.
stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets rapidly increase
the weight, the hectic flush soon leave the
&C cnsumptive's cheek. the skin assumes the
hue Of health, night sweats cease, the cough
dies away and the emaciation Is lest under a
coating Of warm. normal flesh.
Taken after meals these Tablets digest all
wholesome food eaten. Increasing the appc-

dollars with the best medical skill to

further hope.
"One day happened to read an ad-
vertisenent of S. s. S., recommending
that remedy for cancer, and in view of
the failure of the most eminent physi-
clans in the country, 1 confess I had
little faith left in any human agency.
However, Ipurchased a bottle of S.S.S.,
and to my delight it seemed to benefit
her. After she had taken a couple of
bottles the cancer began TO heal, and
astonishing as it may seem, few bot
ties more cured her entirely. You can
probably better understand how re-
inarltable this cure was when l explain
that the cancer had eaten two holes in
the breast two inches deep. These
healed up entirely, and although ten
years have elapsed, not a sign of the
disease has ever returned, and we are
assured of the permanence of the cure,
which we at first doubted.
"As my wife inherited the cancer,
CSItdHiy fSS dtu .. .. .. dS tne most
wonderful remedy in the world, and it
is truly Godscnd to those afflicted
with this terrible disease. You may
be sure that shall always be grateful
to that remedy, for without it my home
would now be desolate and my chill
dren motherless.'
The above is but one of many re-
markable cures being daily made by
S. S. S. Cancer is becoming alarm
ingly prevalent, and manifests itself in
such variety of forms, that any lump,
sore or scab, it matters not how small,
which does not readily heal up and dis
appear may well be regarded with
suspicion. We will gladly send to any
address, full accounts of several other
cures fully as remarkable as this one.
For real blood troubles, S. S. S. has
no equal. 1t wipes out completely the
most obstinate cases of blood diseases,
which other remedies do not seem to
touch. s. S. S. gets at the root of the
disease, and forces it out permanently.
s. s. s. is guaranteed purely vegeta-

Kerr street in that city.
Some years ago his wife noticed q
small lump in her breast. She thought
nothing of it. but it increased in size
rapidly, and soon broke through the
skin and commenced to discharge.
She was at once put under treatment
of the best physicians, but they --ery
soon found that they could do her no
good, and simply prescribed antiseptics
to keep the place clean. Both her
grandmother and aunt, by the way,
had diei with cancer, and when APP
prised of this fact the doctors said that
they would not attempt to save her;
that she was incurable. Although the
cancer had by this time become deep

the most noted specialists of New York
then treated her. After treating her
