more difficult to cure than those which
are acquired. One of the most commoi

a child afflicted with Scrofnla is always

is eliminated. Scrofu1a leads into coz

His head and body were ; mass
of sores, and his ose was swollen to
several times its natural size; to add to
his misery he had catarrh, which made
him almost deaf, and his eyesight also
became affected. No treatment was
spared that we thought would relieve
him, but he grew worse until his condi-
ton was indeed pitiable. A dozen blood
remedies were given him by the whole
sale, but they i not the slightest good.
I had almost despaired of his ever being
cured, when by the advice of a friend we
gave him S.S.S. (Swift's Speci6c), and
at first the Inflammation seemed to in
crease, but as this is the way the remedy
gets rid of the poison, by forcing it out
of the system, we were encouraged and
continued the medicine. A decided i'm
provement was the result, and after he
had taken a dozen bottles, no one who
knew of his former dreadful condition
would have recognized him. All the
sores on his body have healed, his skin
is perfectly clear and smooth, and he
has been restored to perfect health"

VIII XIII the Police Pension Bill.

Trenton, Aeril Ex-Governor Griggs
gave a hearing yesterday on the Por-
ter police pension bill, passed by the
last legislature. The bill makes it COM
pulsory for every municipality of the
state to retire on half pay any police
officer 60 years old, who has served in
the police department for 20 years con-
tinuously or otherwise. The governor
said that he told committee of the
patrolmen that in order to make
bill acceptable to him it would have
to contain a proviso that policemen
can only be retired after 20 years when
they were incapacitated for police duty.
This proviso was not inserted, and now
he says the policemen have only them
selves to blame in having had the bill
drawn in way which makes it neces-
sary for him to disapprove it.

MORE NEED FOR RELIEF.
Another Section Inundated in the
Flooded South.
FIFTEEN THOUSAND SUFFERERS.

At Vicksburg There Are SO Many
clamoring for Relief That 1t Is Diff
ficult to systematize the Workout
Slight Loss of Life.
Memphis. April 21.-The river at
Vicksburg, Helena. Natchez and from
st. Joseph, La, to Bayou Sara, La,
Is reported either stationary or falling.
This condition is the result of the vast
amount of water passing through the
crevasse at Biggs' and Reeds levees,
above Natchez, and at Hancock's, be-
low. The levee In the immediate vicin-
ity Of Natchez continues to hold the
great strain, but it Is now Of little in
terest to the planters in Concordia,
Tensas and Madison parishes, as the
water backed up from the breaks above
and below will soon flood the rich lands
of these parishes. and the rise will be
almost as disastrous as IL other breaks
should occur The Red and Tensas
rivers today began spreading over a
section Of 30 miles to the interior.
Work continues on the levees, how
ever, and everything possible Is being
done to hold tn remainder of the levee
system. Refugees continue to flock
into the principal towns of the Mis-
sissippi and st. Francis deltas, and
the relief committees are taxed to their
utmost to provide for the wants of the
destitute. At Memphis the river con-
tinues to fall Reports from Greenville,
Rosedale and Cairo state that an en-
decline is noted.
Reports of loss of life come from
Bayou Vidal. in the lower portion of
Madison parish, La. &The water from
the Biggs crevasse caught the people
there unprepared. How many were
actually drowned is unknown, but
Thomas Blackman. his wife and in
FAINT are known to have perished. Boats
have been sent to the locality.
BY the prompt measures taken by
Major Willard, United States engineer,
in dispatching the steamer Vidette,
with skiffs. to the country back of
Coons Landing, 1t is believed that all
persons in danger will be relieved in
time. The Florence, returning from
there yesterday. reported no cases of
drowning in the back country, though
there is unquestionably great danger,
and the loss of stock is believed to be
heavy.
The work of relief is proceeding at
Vicksburg under difficulties, the ap-
plicants being so numerous that 1t Is
task to systematize the distribution.
1t is impossible to say how many per-
sons are in need, but estimates run as
high as $1,000.

OF court. Stockman had been called
as witness in a damage case, and
was expected to tell the jury whether

was on the way to the courthouse
when arrested. Judge Ong lectured the
major severely. Stockman upheld with
dignity that he was busy with work
for the United States government, and
added that he had written orders from
the department to attend upon courts
only when he had completed those Of
fetal duties. Judge Ong replied warm
ly that he did not understand that gov
ernment officials were above courts,
and fined Stockman IS and costs and or
dered him committed until paid. Stock
man was exceedingly indignant. and
announced that he would report the
case to the department at Washington.
Judge Ong told him to do SO by all
means. The major left the court room
In a rage. without paying his fine.
Judge Ong sent a deputy sheriff after
him, and ordered him taken to jail.
Major Stockman declared that gov
ernment official cannot be compelled to
attend civil court when busy, and
that Judge Ong will find it out.
Later in the day Judge ong held
consultation with District Attorney
Dodge. and as a result Of the interview
the judge decided to remit Stockman's
fine. Stockman was accordingly re-
leased.

prayer service, conducted by w. ]. Glenn
ents. Then Bishop Ruley delivered his
annual address during which he spoke Of
the work Of the ministers during the year
and hoped that all would be satisfied with

said he would carefully examine the
| financial work of each charge during the
year just ended and make his appoint
ments in manner which he thinks will
bring greater results In the ensuing year.
He hoped that each mortgage In the con-
ference would be paid off at the end Of
five years.
Bishop Cook spoke at length or the
qualifications necessary for a successful
preacher. Candidness frankness, honesty.

superannuated preachers at the conclusion
OF which Walter Castell motioned that all
members of the Conference in the future
contribute one per cent, of their salary to
tho superannuated fund. The motion was
carried.

If Tyrnavo falls into the hands of
Edhem Pasha and the Turkish troops
sweep down upon the plain and ad-
vance to Larissa to meet the force con-
centrated there under the crown prince
they will be between the grand divis-
ions Of the Greek army. This seems
to have been the object of Greek
strategy.
Should the Greeks succeed in re-
ducing the forts at Prevesa, as now
seems probable, and in occupying the
town with the large land force, CO.
operating with the bombarding war
ships, the road to Janina would be
open and the Turkish troops In Epireus
placed at the most serious disadvant-
abe.
The strategic value of Prevesa to
the Turkish division In Albania is that
30 long as 1t remains in the hands Of
the Turks 1t makes possible a steady
line of munitions and food supplies.
With Prevesa in the hands of the
Greeks this line would be promptly
cut, and 1t would be practically impos-
sible to revictual the Turkish troops by
the long land route through Mace
donia. On the other hand, the Greek
troops could be revictualed by sea.
The death Of Hafiz Pasha, the Turk
ish commander. who was killed in the
fighting which took place in the Mil
ouna Pass on Saturday, is greatly la
mented. He was 80 years of age, and,

troops, was urged to dismount and rest.
The old pasha replied: During the
Russian war never dismounted, and
why should ! do SO now?" Soon after
ward Hatiz Pasha was wounded in the
arm, but he still remained in the sad
die. Later a second bullet struck him
on the hand, but yet the old warrior
refused to retire. Finally a third bull
let broke the gallant pashas spine,
and he rolled from his saddle dead.
