made in the open. There are some dis
eases that are like pickpockets. They
are sneaks. If men only knew it, these
sneaking diseases are more to be dreaded
than small -pox or yellow fever. The
sneaking disease begins with some slight
disorder of the digestion and sluggish ac-
ton of the bowels. The blood becomes
disordered and the body receives INSULT
cient or improper nutriment. Emacia-
ton follows and the sufferer is troubled
with nervous prostration, brain flag, and
debility, and very likely falls victim to
that dread destroyer, consumption. All
this happens before the sufferer fairly
realizes that he is i'll danger.
These sneaking diseases that undermine
a mans constitution, and rob him of his
health are conquered by DR.. Pierce's
Golden Medical Discovery. It puts
strength into every fiber of the body and
replaces the lethargy of sickness with the
buoyancy of health. 1t is the best blood
maker and hesh-buiider known to science.

Gertrude Coghlan "A Mother.

NEW YORK, Nov. 29.-Secretly married
at fifteen. the pretty young actress, Ger
trude Coghan--she is not yet eighteen
has decided to ask the law to unite the knot
that binds her unwIlingly to Reginald
Cameron. Miss Coghlan is now with her
father. Charles Coghlan, at the Marlbor-
ough Hotel, and the suit for the annulment
of the marriage will be begun here. She is
making her first appearance on the stage in
her fathers play, THE Royal Box now
running at the Fifth-avenue.
The wedding that Wntil yesterday has been
kept secret from all except the closest
summer romance two years ago. Part of
that summer was spent by her friends at
t'rince Edwards Island. With them went
Miss Coghlan. They attended the Presby-
terrain church at Souris. Its pastor was the
Rev. William Cameron. His son, Reginald,
handsome, but none too studious or indus
trious lad, saw Miss Coghlan, and her
beauty made him her slave at FIRST sight.
The Rev. Mr.. Cameron objected but love
laughed at obstacles, as usual. Cameron
and his girl sweetheart were welded in Sc
it and took the young folks in. Reginald
proved himself unable to support wife and
the girl bride returned to her father. Miss
Coghlans, or more properly, Mrs. Gamer
OnS, little year-old son, John Harrison
Stuart Cameron, is with her at the MARI
borough. 1t was the christening of this
child a few weeks ago, to whom Harrison
Grey Fiske was godfather, that brought out
the secret of Gertrude Coghlan's marriage.

that Miss Kidder will never again appear
on the stage. The abrupt close of Miss

NEW YORK. Dec. 29.-Mrs. Leslie Carter,
the Titian-haired actress, who has won
fame in the curfew scene in Belasco's
Heart of Maryland has determined to
abandon modern plays for the allurements
of Shakespeare, with now and then a lapse
into Camille and "Frou Frou." David
Belasco, the theatrical director of Mrs. Car
ter, is authority for the announcement. He
gave out the statement to this effect this
week.
Mrs. Carter will appear in Shakspearean
roles, he said Il have coached her in A
Winters Tale Beatrice and in Camille y
will she play 'Rosaind? -
No; she is too wOmanly to strut about
the stage in male garb. She eXcels in
comedy and should prove very successful
in Shakspearean lighter roles
And when will she make her debut in
this line ?'

He Does Not Know How to Signal
the Engine Room.
A comparison of the different meth
DDS of doing what is practically the
same thing in various parts of the
world is both interesting and amusing
to the thoughtful observer. On Amer
lean ferryboats the import is well
known of the ting ting" or Jingle
Jingle" of the bell by which the man
in the wheel house communicates with
his fellow mortal in the engine room.
On the Thames, however, it would be
considered practically impossible to
convey information in this manner,
and the captains of the small paddle
steamers on that stream stand on the
paddle boxes and sing out: ease 'er!"
"Back 'er!" etc., apparently to nobody
in particular, while these interesting
remarks are promptly repeated in shrill
tones by a small boy into speaking
tube which communicates with the
lower regions. On the Seine, in France,
this process is simplifed, and large

yells his commands into this funnel, the
other end of which is supposed to reach
the engineer. The large steamers on
the Rhine, in Germany, are controlled,
not by the usual wheel placed in
wheel house forward, but by a large
wheel on vertical axis, placed right
amidships upon an elevated platform or
bridge, and several men pass the
handles from right to left, or upon oc-
casion trot around in circle, and it
would doubtless be considered seri-

THE INVENTORS GENIUS.
Engineering In Military and Com
mercial Warfare.

War is always a horrible possibility
in the present condition of European
politics, but when Invested of its per-
sonal and political details it cannot but
possess a peculiar fascination for the
engineer, especially since engineering
has so largely entered into all the
methods of modern warfare. Since the
last great war the machinery of warfare
has been almost entirely recreated, and,
indeed, many devices have been invent
cd, constructed and become obsolete,
without ever having had chance to
show what they were worth in actual
combat. Should the great powers be-
come involved in warfare, however,
there is no doubt that numerous me-
chanical devices, till the present kept
secret, will appear in various lines of
fighting machinery, and it is not i'm
possible that, as in the days of the Mon
itor, ornaments and equipments upon
which millions have been spent. will
find themselves relegated to the curios-
ity shop over night.
The restless ingenuity of the invent
or is almost as much of q bane to the
leaders of commercial warfare as to
the lords of militarism. 1t has been
said, and doubtless with truth, that the
managers of the great commercial COM
binations consider the possibilities of
superseding inventions as the greatest
element of risk in their calculations.
from this point of attack industrial
combinations are almost helpless, for no
degree of business skill can avail when
whole plants are rendered obsolete by
the advent of some new device OF
process which may supplant the entire
method of manufacture, if not the prod
uct itself. 1t is this equalizing element
which may, in obedience to The law OF
supply and demand, check to great
extent the growth of commercial com.
binations, intended to control produc.
ton, prices and business. The very sue.
cess of business combination sets in
ventors to work devising methods
processes and machines to accomplish
similar results by other means, and nc
man knows what day may bring forth
when the tide of invention Is turned ii
any given direction. The natural laws
of the physical forces must control II
the end, and 1t is to those laws that the
development CT the commercial side, a.
yell as the technical portion of human
industry, must look for ultimate guild
ance.-Cassier's Magazine.

SOuSA AND THE CHILDREN.
When the Big Folks Had Gone He
Gave the Little Ones a Treat.


A pretty incident occurred at that
quaint old North Carolina town, Colds
boro, not long ago, which will not soon
pass from the minds of those who saw
it. Everyone who knows John Philip
Sousa, the famous director of Sousa's
band, knows full well that he is man
of the finest instincts and love for the
beautiful in all things, as well as in
music. His affection for children is
marked, probably arising in the devo-
ton he gives his own two beautiful lit
tie daughters and handsome and manly
son, now young student in an eastern
military school.
Sousa's band played matinee at
Goldsboro, and before it closed a
swarm of school children stormed the
opera house to the very door. To quiet
them was an impossibility, and to let
them in the house would have broken
up the concert. Sousa sent messenger
to tell them that if they would keep
quiet he would let them all come into
the theater as soon as the big folks got
out, and he would have the band play
for them. Instantly they were still as
mice.
The big audience was very soon dis
missed, and then the little ones poured
in. They filed every inch of the lower
floor, and the band played as it has
seldom played before. Sousa never re-
oeived such vociferous applause, and
probably never any so genuine.
The special train that was to convey
the band to Wilmington drew up al
most in front of the door, and Sousa
and the band quietly disappeared
through the stage door and started for
the cars, but the children were too
quick for them, and when Sousa came
out they few upon him like flock Of
doves, took him prisoner and led him
slowly captive to his private car, with
screams of delight and laughter, while
half the town looked on and laughed as
heartily. Within the car the real siege
began, for the children swarmed there
too. Some brought flowers and myrtle
and holly, and Sousa was fairly sub
merged in the floral tidal wave. The
children ruled the hour, and when the
train drew out half an hour delayed
there was a cheer by the hundreds of
men which did not drown the piping
farewells of the little ones.-Boston

WHERE ELEPHANTS ARE PLENTY
An African Sportsman Says the Big
Game Ii Far from Extinct.

An African Sportsman Says the Big
Game Ii Far from Extinct.
1t has been common cry of late
years that, with the amount of shoot
ing that goes on nowadays in Africa,
the game animals must, within measur-
able distance of time, become extinct.
Some ingenious statisticians have
harmlessly employed their spare time
in calculating how many years Of ex-
istence are left to the African elephant
as species, and prophesy its extinc-
ton within the present generation.
Within the last week 1 have had two
letters from friends who are shooting
in the interior, one bearing date in No
vember, from the northeast, the other
dated January, from the southeast. !
am not going to give any better clew
to the locality of my correspondents
shooting grounds, for reasons sports
men will appreciate. The former has
"for weeks seen elephants in family par
ties every day and all day; they don't
seem to know what rifle is, and, If
I wanted, / might kill a score day or
more" My southeastern correspond
emit combines sport with trade in ivory,
and writes me that, on his present trip,
he has killed 10 elephants, besides two
lions and a heavy bag of antelopes and
other game. He says: I'm the country
have just passed through elephants
are in most astonishing numbers, as
also buffaloes, and, in fact, all the ami
mails have named" some II species.
In the locality he refers to elephant
shooting has to be done on foot, and it
{ is such hard work under the local con-
ditions that the animals are tolerably
safe. 1 do not wish to promulgate the
idea that protective measures are not
necessary-they are urgently needed in
many parts of Africa; but it is satisfac-
! tory to hear from reliable sources that
there are districts where the elephant
is plentiful and likely to continue so.
