DANGER IN WATER.
why People should BE Careful what
They Drink, Especially at This
Time of Tenr.


do you know that there Is a dangerous
poison In half the water we drink
II was an eminent professor OF natural
science who recently made this startling
remark. Il am only stating a fact" he
continued. when I assert that I'm the
springtime nearly all our drinking water
contains traces OF poisonous vegetable OF
animal matter. We drink this water the
poison gets into our systems and Il
Is largely the cause Of so many people
feeling weak, worn out and siclEiy at this
season.
do I recommend boiling the water2 No.
I do not. for while that may kill the dis
ease germs II does not remove them. A
far better way is TO use pure whiskey
with it. The best physicians in America
unhestatingly declare this, but-and bear
this most carefully in mind-it must be
PURE whiskey, for impure whiskey is
worse than impure water"
The professor is certainly right. and he
might have appropriately added that sci
entifc men are also fully agreed that no
Whiskey used in America to-day is so
chemically pure or so free from fusel oil
as Duffy's pure malt. II has successfully
stood the rivalry of all other WHISTLES.
Why? Simply because 1t has done Won
ders for people who needed strength,
vigor and vitality. Thousands testify to
the great benefit derived from taking Il.
Leading physicians say il is undoubtedly
the best thing for counteracting the evii
effects of poisonous water. They also
indorse II as the best remedy for tired
feelings and spring weakness. As there
are many inferior limitations Of Dumy's
pure malt, care should be taken when
purchasing, to see that none of these is
substituted by the dealer.

4 Cruel DecentIon.

Washington Cor. Chicago Record.
The thousands Of brides who have VS.
tied the treasury on their wedding tours
and have been allowed TO hold in their
hands for few moments the big bundle
of money so carefully done up in manila
paper, sealed with great blotches OF red
sealing wax and marked 'S20, 00O, 600" will
realize what a wicked and deceptive world
this is when they know that the real con-
tents OF the package were simply two old
census reports. This innocent deception
has been carried on for a quarter Of a
century When people 90 into the vaults
they always want to handle money. There
is an irresistible tendency to feel of it,
and the more valuable the package the
greater the temptation. II wasn't consid-
cred good policy to allow a large amount
of treasure to be passed around among
strangers in such way for fear some
one might chlorOfOrm the guide and vault
keepers and make break with the pack
age.So curiosity was gratified and the gov
eminent was protected from any possible
loss by making up a dummy and giving il
a proper appearance. The secret was well
kept until Saturday, when a spiteful en-
ploye, who had been discharged, gave it
away.

JACKSONVILLE CRACKS COMING.
EIkes, the RecOrd-BrenISer, to Enter
the Memorial Day Races.

Mr.. George W. Clark Of the G. W. Clark
Company. manufacturers of the CLARK
White Flyer bicycle, is in town. Mr.
Clark is an enthusiastic admirer of Harry
D. Fixes. the young rider, who broke the
amateur records for from one to ten miles
at Jacksonville last Friday.
Mr.. Clark is great believer in the
south as an early training ground for nor
thern bicyclists, and is giving all his en-
ergy to further the adoption of a yearly
bicycle camp, for both professionals and
amateurs, in the south.
The bicycle cracks of Jacksonville, he
says, are anxious to come to Savannah
and take part in the Memorial day races.
he says, however, that much dissatiStac-
ton exists among the riders in Jackson
Vile at the small value of the prizes Of
fered for the different events. The boys
are anxious to come, but as they will be
put to considerable expense, they con-
slider that prizes should be of sufficient
value to make it an object.
The League of American Wheelmen per-
mits prizes of value up to $50 to be
contested for by amateurs, and the most
popular method In vogue at race meet
lngs is the award of optional prizes, that
allow the winner of twenty dollar prize,
Tor instance. to select something for him
self that will cost that amount.
Mr.. Clark has advised the Jacksonville
blcyclists to come to Savannah a week
or SO in advance of the races, so as to
get familiar with the track. The new
track now building at Jacksonville. he
says, will be one of the finest in the coun-
try. II is modelled after the track at
Louisville Ky. The path is of cement, 80
feet in width.
An interesting fact in connection with
the records established by Elkes is that
in the four and five mile runs his records,
which We're made from a standing start,
broke the flying start records for those
distances, In the four mile, 2-5 of a sec
ond, and in the five mile Is of a second.
Elkes, Frank Powers, and a young I'M
known from Jacksonville, will compete
in the races on the 9th. Mr.. Clark ex-
poets great things from the young I'M
known in the boys class The local lads,
he says, will have to look out for their
laurelS.

Light-KeeDer Sees One on the
BreaICwater, and 1t Gets His Dog.
From the Pittsburg Dispatch.
Bridgeport. Conn, March 29.-Capt.
Adolphus Mcneil, keeper of the Bridge
port lighthouse. was nearly thrown out OF
his boat to-day by the sea serpent; at
least, the captain says so.
You see the sea serpent, after being
in brine all winter, wants to get a good
drink of fresh water To-day, when l
started in my boat to row ashore I had
my dog Hector with me. He's the dog
that killed a shark last year.
"All of a sudden Hector stood UP IN
the stern sheets and, looking ahead, be-
gan to bark and gnash his teeth. / rested
on my oars and turned. To my horror |
saw the sea serpent stretched out on ton
of the breakwater, with his head thrown
back and his mouth wide open, drinking
in the rain.
Il turned to port and pulled for Seaside
Park, but Hector attracted the sea SER
pent. He rolled off the breaJkWater ana
made such tidal wave that 1t nearly
swamped my boat. Hector sprang in TO
tackle the sea serpent, but ! did not walt

Chapman's Case to Be Carried to the
United States Supreme Court.

United States supreme Court.
Washington, D. c.. April 12-The case of
Elverton r. Chapman, the New York bro
ker, VIII come up again tomorrow in
the district court of appeals, and its fate
is looked for with much interest Aside
from its importance to Mr.. Chapman and
to those who will be personally affect
ed by the future course of the case, 1t
is of interest to the legal profession and
to all persons who may fall under Grim
inal prosecution in the district, for the
reason that the final decision upon it
will settle the question whether or not
a criminal case may be taken from the
district courts to the supreme court for
review. That question is still an open
one and the attorneys in behalf of Mr.
Chapman and the government are by no
means certain that their respective con-
tentions are well founded.
Application will be made tomorrow, it
has been announced, to the district court
of appeals by Chapman's attorneys for
a writ of error to take the case to the
supreme court of the United States. If
be made to Chief Justice Fuller to issue
a writ, but, in view of the Importance
of the question involved and the fact that
the right of appeal on a writ of error
to the supreme court Of the United States
is an open one. it is the belief that the
writ will be granted Should it be so
granted, then the representatives of the
United States in the department of jus
tiee will move in the supreme court that
1t be dismissed. That will bring up the
whole subject for review and decision.
