known II is the result of years of study
and experiment, by scientific physician
and has been tested in every way by him
for over 40 years. 1t has an unbroken
record of success. It cures great variety
of diseases, because almost all diseases
have their origin and support in impurity
and weakness of the blood. AS long as q
mans blood is rich and pure. he is in no
danger from diseases The blood is the
medium through which food is carried from
the digestive system to all of the tissues of
the body IF il carries impure things, or
an insufficient quantity of good things,
trouble will ensue. There is nothing about

THE TIMES ON THE FACTS.
Red Tape Should Not Ec Upheld ut the
Risk of PrecipitatinC n War.

Tho London Times. dwelling upon the
many dangerous elements which tend to
make the Anglo-Ap.aricau situation still serl-
Gus. refers to its New York correspondents
renewed plea for the fullest ana earliest dis
closure Of tho English case in regard TO the
Venezuelan frontier dispute.
The Times asks whether or not the blue
book tradition. which prevents its publica-
ton until Parliament meets, is worth up
holding ut the risk Of precipitatinC n war,
from which two great peoples shrink with
terror, and suggests that the London
Gazette be utilized to give tine Information
needed. The paper urged the Ministers
to accelerate the preparation Of tho nec'S-
sarv documents, AMI concluded its arti:.e
thus:
I'VE should. regardless OF precedents, set
our case fairly before the world. We firmly
believe it is a good case. and that, il pro-
duced before passion gets tho upper hand OF
judgment, it will be received in q fair and
amicable spirit. But the danger is a grow
ing danger, and if it is to be stemmed sue
ccssiully must be stemmed at once"

To Prevent Collisions.

Five miles of the Chicago & Eastern
Illinois Railroad have lately been
equipped with the audible block sig.
nal, an invention which it is said will
prevent ninety-five per cent Of the
railroad disasters. The system was
shown in practical operation recently
IN Chicago to number of expert elec-
tricians, railroad men and others. A
number of prominent Buffalo people
were in the party and took a special
interest in the test of the new device,
it being the invention of Buffalo
man.
The test was entirely satisfactory,
and it was found to work even better
in actual operation than the model.
After the trial was finished it was de-
cided to incorporate q company.
1t has been in use on the five miles
of road for several weeks, aud Presi-
dent Carpenter of the Eastern Illi-
nois, says up to this time it has done
all that is expected of it.
1t was shown ut the test that the
system will give timely alarm to the
engineer of moving train when APP
proaching a standing or moving loco.
motive on the same track, and Of m
occupied grade crossing, an open
switch or drawbridge. or car pro-
iecting from side track over n main
track
AS the signal given is the ringing
of the bell in the cab of the locomo-
tive. which will continue to ring until
stopped by the engineer, it is appar-
ent that the system is certain to be
as effective in darkness as in daylight,
or during fogs or transforms, on
curves or heavy grades where visible
signal could not be seen in time to
prevent disaster. r.-Ch!cago Tribune.

auce when pumped from the well.
This condition of the water usually
continues but short time, generally
becoming clear before the storm com
mcnces. With an approaching storm
these conditions Of the water are more
or less extreme, as the storm Will be
more or less severe.
AS to it's reliability and accuracy as
q weather forccaster for western New
York, n correspondent says: L con-
slider 1t correct from observations OF
the past summer and fall, while the
weather bureau aud uil of our weather
prophets have made mistakes on ac-
count Of unexpected counter winds
and highs and lows. The we'll has
made no mistakes. For example, on
the 10Th Of August last the weather
bureau gave no warning of storm.
Mr.. Parker stated that 40 rain was
in sight and could look for continued
dry weather, but the we'll gave the
strongest indications of storm OF any

proved in the Venezuelan Question.
The Westminster Gazette says move
ment Is on foot in London to put into
effect tho suggestion alleged to have
been made by Justice Harlan. of tho
United States Supreme Court, that diff
ferences between Great Britain and the
United States be settled by n commission
composed OF an equal number OF judges OF
Her Majestys High Court of Justices and Of
tho United States Supreme Court. Already
a private meeting composed OF Engllsnmen
and Americans has been held to consider
what further action shall be taken.
The disclosures made in the Daily Chron-
icc's Washington dispatches concerning tho
Venezuelan dispute have encouraged the
leaders of this movement to publish their
proposals, which amount to advocacy of tho
establishment OF Il permanent court OF arbi-
tration.
The Westminster Gazette, Liberal in its
leading editorial, argues that now is the
time for Salisbury to withdraw from his

The Caracas Government has received

Tho Crespo administration regards this

The Governnent officials saw, however.
that Notwithstanding this report that
Great Britain Is fortifyinS her position
in apparent deflancs OF the Re-
public, great prudence will he observed hy
Venezuelan officers in tho territory, and an
attempt will be made to avoid all perilous
disputes.
The point to which tho British police have

possible to guess. That she did not,
seemed certain, when one morning en-
tering the parlor suddenly, she found
Fred with his arm around Sybil.
Mrs. Hazard stood still, glared fe-
rociously and inquired with sarcastic
politeness:
"May ask what this means?"
sIt means" said Fred, "that have
just asked Miss Stanton to be my

''What could say?" asked SybiL
Mrs. Hazard sat down.

"Thcres Miss Roberts, Fred

why the professor is really serious in
his intentions. I've said enough, l
hope. I'll forgive oil this nonsense if
it stops here" and Mrs. Hazard
marched, becioninS Sybil to follow,

Fred flew to her side.

sides the dull monotony of life which
seemed wearing her ont. Companion
to an old lady-well, it did not seem
such hard life, after all, to others.

was SO dull! Other girls, not so
pretty, had been wooed and won, and
she had not one lover.

sighed Sybil. There's no romance
in store for me.
"Miss Stanton, it's nine O'Clock,
and Polly's cage isn't covered yet"
cried Mrs. Hazard, from her inner
room.
Sybil sighed. The parrot was part
OF her prose. There were the parrot,
the canary and the poodle.
Il ought to rejoice in the canary
she said, bitterly. 'If l were like
other girls perhaps l should, but L

it was late. Sybil dressed herself in

In the middle Of the room she stood
petrified with astonishment. Mrs.

young gentleman-a very handsome
young gentleman.
NO matter, Miss Stanton" said
Mrs Hazard: cts only my nephew.
Fred, this is Miss Stanton"
And Sybil escaped to the adjoining
