cloth, tobacco, champagne and things
that we can make so high that we
will buy only about 800 million dol

these capitalists represent the govern

permit this. Such a canal must be

The
Ri6htRenledy

The disastrous effects of potash and
mercury, which the doctors always pre-
scribe for Contagious Blood Poison,
should convince anyone that these are
not the proper remedies for this horrible
disease. Instead of forcing the poison
from the system, and getting rid of it
forever, potash and mercury only bottle
it up, and by driving in the outward
appearance of the disease, induce the
patient to think he is being cured. But
he sees his mistake before long, when
his joints become stiff aud his bones
ache-often his hair will fall out by the
handful and if he follows the doctors
advice and continues to take his medi-
cine, his finger nails will drop off
There is cure for this destructive
disease, though no doctor has ever yet
cured it. Ofcourse they may pronounce
a patient cured, but the disease has
never failed to return, with increased
severity. SIS. (Swift's Specifc) is a
permanent cure, and is the only remedy
free from harmful ingredients. 1t is

CURIOUS vERDICTS.
Strange Findings of Juries Disclosed
By Old Records.

one OF the curiosities of the old rec
ords in the Office of the clerk of the
court of Worcester county, Md, says
the Baltimore Sun, is an inquisition
taken on the body of Nehemiah Hay
man. on the oath day of October. 1901.
The finding Of the jury is that the
afsd Nehemiah Hayman, at the county
2fSd was on the twenty-second day of
October as afsd was then and there
'manslatered' by the hands of one
certain BENJAMIN Dennis. and we the
Juriers afsd upon their oaths do say
that from the cause afsd in manner and
form afsd that Nehemiah Hayman
came to his death by a unmerciful
stroke by a Chunk on the mole of his
head by the hands OF Benjamin Dennis

The finding of another jury in Aug

what manner George Ennis came TO his
death" is couched in the following I'M
certain language: DO say upon their
oaths that the afsd George Ennis on
the 9th day of August in the year afsd
at the county afsd was then and there
found dead and we the juriers do say
that George Ennis by the visit of AL

Law Down to Die With Her Daughter.

New York Evening Journal: Mrs.
John Buckan, frantic with excitement,
tried in vain TO arouse her unconscious
daughter at d fire Monday morning.
Olga did not awaken. She was i'll,
stricken by diphtheria.
Then her mother made uD her mind
to die in the flames with her daughter.
She lay down by her side on the bed
and braved death rather than desert
her.
The firemen found them. both un-
conscious. and carried them in their
arms down the fire escapes.
The fire started in a five-story fiat
house directly opposite Roosevelt nos
pital. There was great excitement, and
all the tenants had narrow escapes.
1t started in the apartments of Rich
ard Ely, the ianitor of the building.
He occupied a room on the first floor,
front, on the opposite side of the hall
from John Buckan, his wife 'and their
1S-year-old daughter, Olga
Mrs. Buckan saw smoke entering her
apartments through the transom from
the main hall.
Rushing 10 the dumb waiter she gave
the alarm. Then she returned to her
daughters bedside.
The child lay there unconscious.
With frantic efforts the mother tried
TO raise her in her arms, but she was
too weak.
Then she took the girls hand in hers
and lay down calmly, awaiting the fate
that seemed inevitable.
While this scene was being enacted
the other tenants, ignorant of the dan
ger of the mother and daughter, made
for the fire escapes in the rear of the
house. 1t was impossible to get out by
the hall.
There were 20 families in the build
ing, and they all succeeded in getting
out without injury.
Upon the arrival of the fremen the
first question asked by the chief was:
Are all the tenants out?'
Janitor Ely cast a hurried glance
at the crowd and then said:
Il don't see Mrs. Buckan and her
daughter They live on the first floor"
Three fireinen made their way into
the burning building, and after a lapse
OF time that seemed endless 10 the
crowd, they returned carrying in their
arms the mother and daughter.
They had found the mother uncon-
scious on the bed with her child.
Olga was taken into the apartment
of a neighbor, and Mrs. Buckan was
revived by hospital surgeons.
