AIMING EYIOUs LITTLE OLD MAN.


A little old man of the sea
Went out in boat for sail;
The water came in
Almost up to his chin, .-.
And he had nothing with which to bail.
But this little OLD man Of the sea
just drew out his jack.knife so stout.
And hole with its blade
In the bottom he made,
So that all OF the water ran out.

The real cause of most of our diseases is
simply an inability to digest food. This
induced thinness, weakness, loss of flesh
and fat, loss of vitality, wasting away.
Loss OF flesh and vitality means constant
liability to sickness. Wasting away is con-
sumption.
II getting thin Is what aiIs you, there Is
only one thing to do-get fat. The only
way to do IL Is take something which will
help your stomach and stimulate IL to do
Is work.

move your legs or arms. II your stomach
- TIVE 1t does not like to digest; 1t cannot

The Shaker Digestive Cordial not only
contains artificially digested food, but It

Military Carnival at New York.


New York. Jan. 12.-Madison Square
Garden never presented a more brilliant
appearance than 1t did last night. when
the military bicycle and athletic carni-
val, in aid of the Hahnemann Hospital
for National Guardsmen, was formally
opened in the presence Of over 5000 per-
sons. including the wealth and beauty
Of this and adjacent cities. The tourna-
ment is noteworthy from the fact that
the contests will all be participated In by
the New York state militiamen and
United States army and navy regulars
only. Last night there was very mar
tial air about the garden. Old Glory was
about the only decoration. The Stars
and Stripes hung from every pillar and
railing. The presence, too, Of so many
soldiers, and the fact that before the
evening the air was redolent with pow
der smoke, enhanced the military aspect
Of the occasion. The exhibition given by
the regulars evoked great enthusiasm
and cheering. After a gymnastic drill,
Co. T. 43d infantry, in four files, gave an
exhibition of wall scaling, and, as cli-
max formed a human pyramid, and

ENGLISHMEN MASSACRED.
PEA ACEFUL EXPEDITION TO BENIN
CITY TOTALLY WIPED OUT.
The Party Was Unarmed When II Left the
Consulate at Benin-Their Daring Plan.

London, Jan. ia dispatch from
Bonny, on the UPPER coast of Guinea, re-
ports the massacre of all the members OF
peaceable British expedition which left
the coast about Jan. 1, intending to pro-
ceed to Berlin City, on the Benin river,
by way of Sapele.
The expedition consisted Of Acting
Consul General Phillips. Major Copeland
Crawford. Captain Bolsragon. who was
the commandant of the force Of the Niger
coast protectorate; Captain Mailing, be-
longing to the same force; Messrs.
Campbell and Locke. consular officials;
DIR. Elliott, Messrs Powis and Gordon,
civilians, and number of Kroomen and
native carriers.
The yacht Ivy, belonging to the British
consul, has returned to Bonny. and re-
ports that the members of the entire ex-
pedition were killed by subjects of the
King OF Benin, which territory is includ-
ed in the Niger coast protectorate.
1t Is stated in the foreign office advices
that the party was unarmed when 1t left
the consulate at Benin, on the west side
lof the Niger, travelling toward the Ada
magu country. They were surprised on
the efrontierterritory at Benin City, where
they were fired upon, surrounded and
massacred. The object Of the mission
IL not yet known.
Benin City Is within the Niger protec-
torate, and is go miles up the river Benin.
The population is $4,000, and 1t is gov
erned 10y priesthood. which is notorious
for human massacres. 1t is thought that
the massacre is possibly connected with
the recent escape of the king of the Okrik
tribe to New Calabar, who was cap
tured by the British.
1t is feared that the disaster will have
a bad effect on the Niger company's ex-
pedition, which is about to proceed
against the Emir of Nupe.
A telegram from Lagos says that the
expedition against the Emir of Nupe Is
still waiting at Lokoja. This expedition,
sent out by the Royal Niger company,
consists of 500 Hussa troops, six Max
inns, 26 mounted European officers and
900 carriers. 1t is expected that 1t will
march against Foulas forces at Kabba,
southwest Of the Niger. Sir George Col
die, the governor. has arrived, and will
accompany the column. The Royal
Niger company's fiotilla of armed stern
wheeled steamers will patrol the Niger
and cut off the enemy's retreat to Bida,
their capital.
The Times, in an editorial, explains
that the old quarrel between the power
full Emir Of Nupe and the Niger company
was on account Of the emir raiding the
company's territory for slaves. The
Foulas occupying Kabba are 10000 foot
and 1000 cavalry. The company have an
arduous and perilous task. Their plan
