About Premature Burial

Col. f. P. Vollum and Mr.. Tebb have
written book on the subject of prema-
ture burial and declare they have not
exaggerated the case. They say it
would be impossible to record all the
cases collected in a volume of 400 pages.
DR.. Franz Hartman is said to have col
lected 700 cases, and DR.. L. Guern, whose
work entitled Danger DIES Inhuma-
TONS" has passed through several edi'
tons, has collected 2,313 cases.

The drowning of woman is a shudder-
some sight. Yet it is swift and compare
lively painless, and blissful, compared to the
pain and agony suffered for many years by
many thousands of women. Most of the
suffering endured by women may be traced
TO one great, aggravating set of disorders
The woman who does not take proper care
of the organs distinctly feminine is sure to
be sickly, nervous, fretful, and racked with
pain. She is untitled for wifehood and
motherhood. Every woman owes it to her
self to be strong and healthy in womanly
way. She may insure this if she will use
the proper remedy.
The greatest of all medicines for weak
and suffering women is DR.. Pierces Favor
lite Prescription. 1t acts directly upon the
delicate organs that make wifehood and
motherhood possible. 1t makes them
healthy and vigorous. 1t cures all weak
soothes pain and stops weakening drains.
The nerves become steady, and calm, and
health resumes its natural sway throughout
the system. 1t prepares for wifehood and
motherhood. Over 1000 women have tes-
tilted to its marvellous virtues and all good
druggists sell it.
Ignorance of her own physical nature is re-
sponsible for a great deal of the pain and suf-
fering that woman undergoes. DR.. Pierce's
Common Sense Medical Adviser is the best
medical book for the home. 1t is now on
the bookshelves of over million American
households. Several chapters of the book are
devoted to the diseases and weaknesses of the
organs distinctly feminine. Every woman should
read it. 1t contains over 1000 pages. Any one

THE ARTIST Is SILENT
DAWLEY OF The THREE FRIENDS
REFUSES TO SAY A WORD.
The Dauntless Owner Is Anxious 10
Clear for Neuvitas With Dyna-
mite. Gurs. Etc.

Cincinnati, Jan. ia special to the
Commercial Tribune from Jacksonville
Fla, says Cubans were greatly worried
here yesterday over the appearance be-
fore the grand jury of Thomas Dawley,
an artist who was supposed to have
been :on the Three Friends during the
last trip. Dawley refused to say a word,
however. claiming that he would be in
terminating himself.
Owner Bishee was disappointed at not
receiving permission from Washington
for Che Dauntless to clear for Neuvitas.
He has a very large and valuable cargo
waiting for him, including two dynamite
guns and the delay has vexed the Junta
here very much. 1t is understood
through private dispatch from Wash
ingfon that the Spanish Minister there
is doing all he can to prevent clearance
papers from being issued rs he fears the
effect Of the successful landing Of an-
otl:er expedition The revenue cutter
Cosfax steamed up last night, meeting
two cutters here and three men of war at
the mouth of the river.

THE SUGAR CANE BURNED
RuT THE SHANISH GOVERNMENT
woNr9eLLIr.
WeYler Says Only 500 Cubans Are
Left in the Western Province,
But the War Goes On.

Havana, Jan. 12-The government
does mot allow news Of the burning of
plantations, etc, to be published, but it
is stated on reliable authority that if
the government allowed the grinding of
cane IN Havana province, the planters
would not be able to make 10000 hogs
heads of sugar, because from eight miles
out Of Havana as FAR as Matanzas, near
ly all the sugar cane has been burned
General Weyler asserted that there
are only 500 insurgents in the province
of Pinar del Rio, but the Cubans say
that he will shortly repent having made
such a statement. There is no doubt that
the insurgents have suffered greatly from
sickness and other causes, but it is claim
cd that should the Spanish commander
only partly withdraw his troops from
the western part of Pinar del Rio the
insurgents win again concentrate in large
bodies, having only scattered into small
groups for the present in order to escape
the overwhelmingly large force sent
against them. The Cubans claim that all
such statements are directed from
Madrid for the purpose Of inhicting con-
gressional action at Washington, and
there is good reason to believe that such
Is JI1e case by apparently showing the
paciication of Pinar del Rio, the Span
iards undoubtedly hope to prevent any re-
cognition of the belligerency of the Gu
bans. But, as a matter of fact, beyond
the death of Maceo, there seems to be
little or no change in the situation, when
compared with what it was a year ago
unless it is the Cubans have more con-
fdence, more arms and more ammuni-
t5on than ever before, and that they are
carrying the warfare close to the gates
of Havana.
1t is thought likely that Gomez will
risk a pitched battle with the Spaniards
when he can probably accomplish the end
in view without taking any such chances.
However, the Cubans expect military
news of Importance shortly, as it is un-
derstood that they have been advised by
the New York Junta that the moment
is opportune for n coup of some descTip-
ton, which will be of Importance enough
to demonstrate that Gen. Weyler, to put
it mildly, is not stating the exact facts
when he says that the province OF Pinar
del Rio is pacified, and that he is now
proceeding to accomplish the paciication
OF the remainder Of the island Of Cuba.

DAUNTLEss WRECK HUNTING
1t picks up Stranded Men and Goods and
Safely Delivers Them.

Washington, Jan. 12.-The Secretary
Of the Treasury has received from Collec-
tor Bisbee, at Jacksonville, a report on
the recent movements Of the suspected
flibuster DauntIess, in which he incor-
porates an ofidayit made by Captain
Meyers, the master. The affidavit states
in effect, that on December 28th he. the
master, subscribed to an oath that the
Dauntless was about starting on a wreck
ing tour and that he would not Violate
the neutrality or navigation laws of the
United States. On that day he steamed
down the river, but the weather was too
thick for his vessel to go to sea and so
he returned to Jacksonville On the
18th he again started on his wrecking
trip, but the weather was still heavy and
he concluded to go inside through Haw's
channel.
While in the chanel he discovered sig
nails Of distress flying from a point on
No Name Key. He put into the island
and found about 35 men in great distress.
suffering from exposure to the weather
and want OF food. There was also a
quantity Of freightage in unbroken boxes
and packages. What they contained he
dld not know. He took the men and
freight on board on New Years day,
and as nearly as he could recollect on
the Bird Of January, he delivered them mt
sea. To whom they were delivered he
does not say, and the collector, in COM
menting on the affidavit, says that to his
mind it is very defective in that it does
not state to whom the men and goods
were delivered and also in several other
important facts.
The department, when notified several
days ago Of the APPLICATION of the Daunt-
less, gave the collector instructions not
TO clear her, and now that the report
does not clear up the record against the
Dauntless, it is stated, that the instruc-
tons then given viii not be charged. If,
therefore, she attempts to go to sea with
out clearance she probably will be seized
by the revenue cutters in port for viola
tons Of the navigation laws

lar and Frederick d. Chamberlain. by
Airs Josephine Curtis Woodbury., we'll
known apostle and teacher OF Christian
science, was ruled out Of court by Judge
Dewey to-day and the defendants were
discharged by order OF the court.
The action was brought by Mrs. Wood
bury On account of articles published In
the Traveller, giving in detail the meth
ods alleged to have been employed by
Mrs. Woodbury. in obtaining pupils and
refernce was made to certain homes,
which it was alleged, had been broken
up on account Of refusal of Mrs. Wood
bury's disciples to remain in them unless
the other members adopted the belief.
The principal one of these homes mem
toned was that OF Frederick ID. Chamber
lain. Mr.. Chamberlain is a widely known
real estate dealer, and his wife was at
one time a leading belle in Boston society.
On coming under the influence OF Mrs.
Woodbury., it is alleged Mrs. Chamberlain
refused to remain with her husband.

TOBACCO GROWERS MEET.
In First Annual Session and Discuss
Tobacco Culture.

The first session OF the National To-
baecO Growers Association was called
to order this afternoon by Frank A.
league, president OF the 0cala board of
trade. The convention was called in re-
sponse to a call by Gov. Mitchell, seat
to the Governors Of the tobacco growing
States. Delegates are present from Wis
consin, Tennessee, Pennsylvania, Ohio,
New York. Marylan Connecticut, In
diana, Kentucky, Georgia and Missis-
sippi. Other States viii also be repre-
seuted as well as some of the West
indies.
Col W d. Chipley, of Pensacola, was
selected as presiding officer, who gave
a brief sketch Of the growth Of tobacco
culture in the State, largely due to his
own encouragement.
Interesting addresses were also deliv-
cred by DIR. O. Clute and Prof. Il. B.
Noodle, OF the Florida Agricultural Col
lege. The papers were lengthy, and ad-
vocated the culture Of tobacco in Florida
as a substitute for Cuban leaf.
An address Of welcome was delivered
in the afternoon by Mayor w. S. Bull
lock, which was responded to by Dr.
Jenkins, of Connecticut. Some discus
sion arose as to the clause of the report
of the committee on programme in regard
to the discussion of the question of tariff
legislation.
A motion was made to strike out the
portion of the report, and it was generally
discussed. The motion was lost by a
large majority, and Mr.. Cory opened
the discussion, advocating a higher tariff
upon leaf tobacco. He claimed that the
revenue officers were not sufficiently
vigilant, and that the government prac-
tically made a gift to the cigar manu-
features Of Tampa and Key West of
about 81 100000.
