A TRIBUTE
OF SCIENCE.
Synopsis of a most Remarkable
Lecture Delivered Before the
Ninth Medical Congress, by
DR.. A. L. A. Toboldt, of the
University of Pennsylvania.

The famous fountain of health
at Carlsbad, in Bohemia, which
has been the refuge of invalids
for five centuries, is certainly
we'll worthy of a careful study.
My experience with this rene
dialagent has been such that !
may truly say that no remedy
which l ever employed has given
me so much pleasure and profit
as this particular one. Selecting
a number of chronic hypochon-
driacs, whose Affections have
baffled all my previous efforts as
my subjects, was truly aston
ished to note that, although no
rigid diet was prescribed, and
only a limited amount of exercise
was INDUCED in, obtained most
remarkable results-the complex
ion, even after a weeks use,
began to clear up, the step be-
came more firm and elastic, and,
what was more, the entire host
of hypochondriacal complaints,
seemed to vanish like mist.
DR.. Toboldt's lecture, with
table of cases treated, will be
mailed to any address upon ap-
plication to the agents of the
Carlsbad Spring, EIsNER & MEN
DELsoN Co., New York.

Ol OOm-
merce Favored.
Washington, Dec. 13.-The annual meet
ing of the National Board of Trade will
begin at the Shoreham hotel, in this city,
tomorrow at noon. A number of matters
of national interest will be considered,
among them the presentation to congress
of a pooling bill, and the recommendation
for department of commerce. Just what
action will be taken on these measures
cannot be predicted. The advocates of the
pooling bill are to be found chiefly among
the eastern delegation, while the
opposition to the measure will
come from the south and west. The bill
as a whole is in favor of the establishing
of department of commerce, and it is
rumored this measure has the approval Of
President Mckinley and that a message
will be sent to congress on the subject soon
after Jan. l. This, however, cannot be
confirmed from an official source.

ARRESTED IN VALDOsTA.
a Negro Believed to BE n Pensacola
Murderer Captured.

Valdosta, Ga. May 25.-The police on
yesterday arrested negro who is believed
to be George Thomas, noted Pensacola
murderer. The negro gives his name as
Freeman Thomas, but he talks Of Pensaco-
la, Tampa and other places he has travel
ed. lie fits the description of George
Thomas so perfectly that the police have
little doubt that he is the right man. He
was pointed out to the police by negroes
who knew him. He was arrested on a war
rant sworn out for him charging him with
watch stealing. If he proves to be the
Pensacola murderer his capture will be
worth a good deal to the local officers. a
good reward being out for his arrest.
Sunday night a burglar entered the res

He spent probably a half an hour in the

having no weapon he 'lay low and said
nothing" Some one in an adjoining
room gave an alarm, but the thief man
aged to get away before he could be cap
tured. There have been many burglar
les in this city recently.
The Va.dosta ball players have announced

The closing exercises of the Valdosta In
stitute will commence on the evening of
next Thursday and will run through Fri
day and Friday evening. A very inter-
esting programme has been prepared and
the exercises will attract large crowd.
The institute has grown in attendance for
the past three or four years, and is larger
this term than ever before.
The grand jury at the recent term of
court recommended new court house for
Lowndes county. It is question of only
a short time before a splendid structure

built here in the past few years. 1t is
the least attractive structure to be found
in this part of the state in a city SO pros
porous and up to date as Valdosta has
become.

RUIZ COMMISSION.
A Break i'm the Inquiry to Await
StenOGraphic Reports.

Havana, May 26.-The Ruiz commission
sions, pending the translation from Span
ish into English Of the proceedings, cop
les of which, in summary, with the va
rious declarations attached, are already
in the hands of Mr.. F'ishback and the Of
fetal stenographers and are being trans
scribed under Mr. Calhoun's supervision.
The friction developed during the first ses-
sion of the commission at Guanabacoa has
disappeared and the members seem to
have settled down to business in earnest
Few, If any, new witnesses
will be called. Taking the writ
ten record as the basis, oppos-
ing counsel, 1t is understood, will take
their exceptions and raise any legal point
they may have to note as they proceed.
1t is expected that the commission in its
report will make clear that the treaty was
violated and Ruiz came to his death in
some violent manner, while illegally held
incommunicadO, but it is doubtful if indi-
vidual responsibility can be fixed upon any
one In fact, no attempt will probably be
made to do this, owing to the difficulties
in the way of obtaining any new testimony
on this point. The American members of
the commission, however, seem cOnfluent
that the finding will be so far satisfactory
as morally to back up Consul Lees re-
port upon the case, and at the same time
to justify the claims of the widow Of DIR.
Ruiz for damages from Spain.
Relief for destitute Americans is already
being distributed.
Consul Brice of Matanzas and Consul
Baker of Sagua have received from Gen
Lee money enough to relieve immediate
necessities as regards food, medicine and
clothing. In this way, some 700 are reach
ed at once.
In Havana similar steps are being taken
by the consulate, and it is safe to say
that already at least 1000 persons, the
greater part of them naturalized Ameri-
lions. Some of these will be sent to the
United States.
Since the wounding of Gen. Castillo
there is increasing depression among the
insurgent leaders in Havana, where they
have been many surrenders to the Span
ish. Brig Gen. Juan Delgado makes
strenuous efforts to stop the spread of this
feeling and has actually macheted several
men, who are trying to surrender
About 1000 insurgents are concentrated
near Maria La Gorda, Pinar del Rio,
where they have been for some days. 1t
is reported that an expedition has landed
near by.
The insurgents attempted to attack
Guira Melana and Gabriel, in Havana
province. but without result They also
fired at a train near Jaruco. The follow
ing generals are now in Havana: Suarez.
