PROVES HERSELF A HEROINE.
Mrs. Hermann, Widow of the Magi.
CHM, Stops a Dog Fight,

Mrs. Hermann, Widow of the Magic
cinn, Stops a Dog Fight.
Mrs. Adelaide Hermann, widow of the
magician, may now be classed as q
heroine. Several years ago, while her
husband was making tour of the
world, nobleman in St. Petersburg
presented to him pair of Russian gray
hounds. Ever since they have been pets
at the Hermann homestead, White
stone, L. !.
The other afternoon Mrs. Hermann
heard a noise ON the lawn, and, rushing
out of the house, found the dogs doing
their best to wipe each other out of ex-
istence. She ran between them, and
finally managed to subdue them, not,
however, until they had made des-
perate attack on her and had bitten her
several times on her arms and wrists.
Coolly she locked the Russians in their
house. Then she calmly cauterized her
wounds. After it was all over, her
nerves gave way, and she had to send for
the family physician.
About year ago, Hermann, his wife
and the dogs We're playing near the
sound at Whitestone, when the dogs be-
gan hammer and tongs discussion
which threatenea the lives Of both.
Grabsing them By their collars, Mrs.
Hern.nann dragged rham into the water
and held their heaas under until all the
fight was out Of them, and they were
willing to creep hualbly home.

HORRORS OF FAMINE IN CHINA.
Inland Province. Are suffering

Inland Provinces Arc SufYerlnE-
Many Deaths from Hunger.
Oriental news just received tells of
famine in the Chinese provinces Of
Szechuen and Hupehin. The authors
ties are sending grain to the destitute
people, but the inland districts away
from the rivers have not been reached.
The leading merchants in Szechuen
have appealed to the foreigners for
help. 1t is said II, 900 taels were quick
" telegraphed by the natives. Foreign
trading houses have given literally,
and the empress dowager has sent 1907
600 taels to the suffering districts. In
the distant parts of both provinces
deaths by starvation are occurring
daily.
Famine has set many bands of brig
ands to work. One band of 100 has car
ried of q score of prisoners and 3
large quantity of money and goods
from Taipah. The prisoners are most
" daughters of wealthy families. A
prominent millionaire was robbed Of
two daughters, who are held for ransom
at 5000 yen. The robbers have sent
word that unless the sum is paid
promptly the heads of their victims
will be returned without their bodies
In two instances wealthy men have
been carried off and their friends
obliged to pay large sums for their ran
som.
Chinese pirates are actually at work
along the coast and on the Yang-tse-
Kiang. AT Nanchang three weeks ago
five merchants travelling to Kiukiang
were murdered. They were members of
party of six, one of whom escaped
by diving overheard. From an unsus-
picious boat which came alongside q
horde of pirates suddenly rose up from
concealment, boarded the merchant
boat and overpowered the boatmen.
They first robbed the merchants and
then butchered them one after an
other. Col. Tin, high mandarin and
commander of Samkong, was travelling
on West river with his family of con-
cubines and servants when the pirates
boarded his boat, looted 1t of all valu-
ables and killed the concubines.

ECLIPSEs THEM ALL.
Gorgeous Red Coach of the Duke
of Marlborough.
The Duchess Creates a Profound Sen.
satton by Her Display of Jew-
els at the Last Drawing
Room.

A striking feature of the last draw
ing room at Buckingham palace was the
many state carriages in line. The
coach of the duke and duchess of Marl-
borough eclipsed all of them. 1t cost S.
900 and has taken a long time to finish.
The body was of deep red and the
coach was adorned, in addition to the
ducal crown and coat-of-arms, by o
princely coronet, as the duke of MARI
borough is prince of the Roman en-
pire, and, as the Daily Mail says: "He
is not inclined to abate one jot or little
Of his titles"
The supports of the carriage are in
the shape of red mounted silver SER
penis, with real silver ornaments made
by skilled jeweler on the hammer
cloths. There were three footmen be-
hind the coach. They wore red liv-
cries and were covered with gold en-
broidery, that part of the work being
done in Italy in order to insure the en-
broidery against furnishing.
There is a story printed here to the
effect that when the duke of Marlbor-
ough ordered his liveries he chose a
brighter red; but the tailor refused
to make the nveries of that color, and
pointed out to the duke that the par
ticular shade of red which he most adj
mired was confined to the use of roy
atty. The duke, as result, was obliged
to be contented with the shade of red
used by his ancestors for the liveries Of
their servants.
The duchess of Marlborough wore
more jewels than anyone present at
the drawing room, and her very tall
posed of the famous Vanderbilt pearls,
caused a sensation.

observation-disclosures GamblinE-Hsuse
to Be built in Mexico.
The concession obtained by Jesse
Grant and his associates from the Mex
lean government for lands surround
ing the famous hot springs of Tia
Juana, across the boundary line, COW
ers also privilege for running a
lottery and gambling devices. It is
said Grant does not intend to enter
the business, but that eastern people
are prepared to take control of this fea-
ture of the concession, while Grant at
tends to colonization and the develop
ment of the mineral waters. The iden-
tity of the eastern people is not known,
but it has been learned that the Dryers
are figuring on the purchase Of the
Rierson and San Antonio ranches, some
miles below Tia Juana, to be used for
raising racing stock. A local real es-
tate man who is handling the matter
for Grant and his associates is authority
for the statement that the intended
purchasers declare they will build the
finest gambling-house in the world at
the springs, to cost 100000, to in
clude every game of chance known, with
lottery in connection.

FACING A CRISIS.
Beet Sugar Industry in Europe Again

Beet Sugar Industry in Europe Again
In Sore Straits.
Again the beet sugar industry in
Europe is facing a crisis in spite of
various ingenious and complex legis.
lative remedies that have been applied.
From several of the United States con-
sular officers, Mann, at Frankfort,
Muth, at Madgburg, and Morris, at
Client, reports have come to state de-
partment descriptive Of the evil con-
ditions that exist in the sugar industry.
Consul Muth says that the last sugar
law of May is, 1896, has been disap-
pointing in it's effects. Prices have de-
clined even in the face of largely in
creased demand from the United
States. Consul Mann says the law has
actually increased the beet acreage,
which was already at its extreme point
of safe expansion. Consul Morris trans
mits copy of n most urgent and des-
perate plea for help of the Belgium
sugar makers, who, each and all, say
the prospect is full of gloom.

1t will not cure everything. 1t is
not claimed that it will cure but one
complaint, that is, dyspepsia. We
cannot say that it will cure every
case of dyspepsia, but it will a large
majority of them. Such cases as are
adapted to its use will derive imme-
date benefit. One small bottle will
be sufficient to test it.

Sense Versus Science.

A little common sense of the old
fashioned variety Is sometimes worth
more than u vast store of medical
knowledge. This was well illustrated
by a case which came to the Bellevue
hospital, New York city, the other day.
A woman rushed into the reception
room, carrying crying babe in her
arms. The child had stuffed large
bead up its nose, and the bead had not
been dislodged. The doctors were
about to operate on the little ones nose
when Superintendent Murphy was
struck with an idea. "Why don't you
try snutf?" he asked. IT think if the
baby sneezed the bead would be dis
lodged" "Jake," who nanipulates the
telephone switchboard, produced some
snuff. A pinch of it was held under
the baby's nostrils. The little one took
a couple of whiffs, and then: "Ker-
thool Kercho-o-l" The bead was pro-
PEELED toward the wall. The baby
stopped crying and looked bewildered.
The doctors were surprised, the super
intendent pleased and the mother hap
Ply. Superintendent Murphy carries
the bead in his vest pocket as a memen-
to of the occasion. Had it not been for
that happy thought an operation,
which, however successful it might
have been otherwise, must almost GER
tainly have dishgured the child for life,
would have resulted.

DOGS MUST HAVE PASSPORTS.
Authorities of Great Britain Guard

Authorities of Great Britain Guard
ing Against Hydrophobfa.
The edict has gone forth that no dog
may be brought into the kingdom of
Great Britain without special license
from the British board of agriculture.
The board fears that American dogs
will bring hydrophobia with them.
The American Kennel club, at its
quarterly meeting, objected to the &c
ton OF the British board and appointed
committee to prepare statistics to
show that rabies is practically an UNI
known disease among dogs.
The new law provides that each dog
entering English shores shall be duly
