The Mount Lebanon Shakers recently
performed great deed of chaI fty, al
though it as not designed as a Charity,
being nothing more nor less than an ad-
vertising scheme. 1t however resulted
In great good just the same. They gave
away 1000 bottles of their Digestive Cor
dial to those suffering from stomach de-
rangements.
1t was 30 effective in curing those who
used the remedy that they were loud in
their pr ,iees of it and in consequence a
large demand for the Cordial was at
once created.
The druggists of this town have little
books that tell all about it. Digestive
Cordial creates an appetite, aids diges-
tion and brings about rapid increase
In flesh and strength.

CHASING A rIL1susrEE.
Probable Cause of Firing on the FIori-
da Coast.


Probable Cause of Firing on the FIori-
da Coast.
ST. AUGUSTINE, Fla, Aug. 21.-Last
night heavy firing at sea by rapid fire
guns and the rays of the searchlight
brought out the people of this city The
whole affair was carefully noted by the
officers of the First artillery from their
quarters in st. Francis barracks, who
are positive that the vessel fred not less
than 40 shots, first rapidly and then at
intervals, ceasing as if the object of the
chase was caught. Then the rapid FIR
ing would be resumed.
The ship, probably war vessel, could
not come nearer than about five miles
off shore. and was evidently chasing a
light-draught boat, as the flashes came
from the starboard gun.
The coast is idented by a sand strip
reaching out to about one mile off this
bar, and it forms the cone of Anastasia
lighthouse, straight down the coast for
IA miles to Matanzas inlet. The st.
Augustine bar had but seven feet of
water on it at the stage of the tide when
the firing commenced, which would
have prevented the coming over of the
Three friends or Dauntless, were those
the vessels chased. There was only four
feet of water on Matanzas inlet, unless
vessel could make this harbor she would
either have to put to sea or surrender.
For this reason indications point to the
fleeing boat taking an easterly course.
When the firing commenced a squall
was on and the night was very dark.

The orange market is dull but strong
and higher prices are predicted, as the
supply is limited and only II, 200 boxes
are on the way from the Mediterranean.
Fiity-two carloads of California fruit
were sold at auction, against fiity-eight
carloads during the previous week.
The fruit received consisted mainly of
plums and prunes, although there were
several carloads of peaches and Bartlett
pears. The latter were unusually large
Tor early fruit Prices were steady and
sound fruit readily sold at fair rates. The
receipts of cherries were largely dimin-
lshed and many arrived in bad order.
The first shipment of California fruit for
London this season was made on the
steamship ST. Paul last Wednesday.
There were five carloads. mainly OF Bart
lett pears. The Shipment included 2OO
crates OF plums and prunes and twenty
five boxes OF peaches.
Arrangements have been made by two
OF the largest California companies to
make weekly shipments of fruit to Lon
don throughout the season. The warm
weather has caused a great increase in the
demand for all Kinds of seasonable fruit,
and the melon market. which was pre-
Ylously dull, is now active.

SAVED BY A c0GL-HEADED BOY.
ven Terrible Railroad Disaster
in Minnesota

FOSSTON. MINI, July 12.-By quick
action and rare presence of mind Frank
Anderson, q sixteen-year-old boy, saved
the Great Northern westpound express
and the lives of many people aboard last
night. Anderson was walking along the
road Just out OF Rurwell when he discov-
cred a pile of ties across the tracks. He
tried 10 get them off, but was unable. He
knew the ''fier' was due at that point in
a few moments, but there was no house
where he could get help within a mile. He
ran to the station at Burwell. and, break
ing in window, secured waste, which he
saturated with oil and placed in little
punches along the road for distance OF
800 feet.
AS soon as he saw the headlight of the
engine as the train rounded a curve half a
mile away he set fire TO the waste. This
attracted the attention of Engineer
WInny, who put on the airbrakes and re-
versed his engine, but the train did not
stop until the pilot was on top of the ties.
Had the train been going at almost any
speed it would have peen thrown down a
twenty foot mbankment.
Trainmen think the ties were placed
there by tramps who had been refused a
free ride.

LOST THE TRAIL OF THE DEVIL.
Ths FggHes, a New Religious Sect Wth
Startling Practices, Originates IN
Nebraska

PAPILLION, NEBR., July IA new
religious sect has sprung up IN this county.
1t takes it's name from the founder OF the
sect, Mrs. Louis Figg, who is an old
settler in that locality. For several years
Mrs. Figg was a shining light IN the Holi-
ness sect, but a few years ago she began
teaching doctrine which the many con-
servative mem bers of the Holiness crgani-
cation could not md orse, and now she has
separated herself and her following from
all other organizations.
One of the peculiar teachings OF the
Figgites is that when stranger enters the
preserce of F. .gg they know instantly
whether God or the devil is present in the
BODY of the stranger, and woe betide the
wavfarer in whose physical body they
should locate his Satanic majesty.
company of this strange sect recently
discovered the devil in the Christian
Church at Gretna in the person OF a re-
spected member. The disciple who dis
covered him gave wild yell and started
on his trail. Pretty soon she was aided in
the chase by half-dozen women. Scream
ing Historically, they chased the evi one
out of the church Round and round the
building they ran, striking wildly at the
imaginary foe. Finally they chased him
over into a cornfield, where they lost the
trail

PLEASURE-SEEKERS SINK AT SEA,
S!oop- Rigged Craft. cought in Terrific
Sorm Off Long Island, Goes
DrWn

LONG BEACH, L. l., July IA single
masted. slooped-rigged craft. on which it
is supposed were several persons, was
caught in terrific storm off the coast
late this afternoon and went down. Be-
fore the disaster the craft had been rock
ing wildly in the storm. Its sails were
torn away and about the last thing wit
nesses on shore saw was a signal of dis
tress waving from the boat. There is
little doubt that all on board perished.
A three-masted, full-rigged fishing
smack, whose captain discovered the peril
Of the occupants of the sloop, put out to
the rescue. For more than an hour the
fshing-smack made plucky effort to get
30 the smaller craft, but the heavy sea
made all efforts futile. The would-be res
cuers seemed abe at o time to get within
mile of the sloop. The name of the un-
fortunate craft or the number of persons
on board is unknown, but it was appar.
emily a pleasure party.

The President will this week-perhaps to-
morrow-nominate Congressman. Sni-
der of Minnesota as Minister to China to
succeed Colonel Charles DENLY of Indiana.
DENLY has held the post at Peklng for
twelve years. He WAS appointed during
the early DAYS OF Cieveland's first admin
istraton. He was not removed by Harri-
son and was retained again by Cleveland.
Ex-Congre sman Snider is wealthy
resident of Minneapolis. Presid ent Nc
Kinley has told Minnesota member OF
Congress that he will nominate Snider to
China. This will leave the Nicaraguan
mission for some one else, and Captain
Merry is likely to be the man. Senator
Perkins told the President on Thursday
that there was one favor in particular that
he would ask.
"What is that?" asked the President.
Il want you 10 appoint my friend Cap
tain Merry of San Francisco as Minister
to Nicaragua"
The President was already thoroughly
familiar with Captain Merry's qualitica-
tons, for Senator Perkins had flied at the
White House from time to time vast
number of Endorsements from prominent
merchants and shipping men all over the
Pacific Coast. They came from Califor-
MIA, Oregon and Washington. Besides
this, Senator Warner Miller of New York
has especially requested that Captain
Merry be given this mission. Every body
comedies that he is peculiarly fitted for
the post on account of his thorough
know edge OF the Nicarsguan canal enter
prise. Senator Perkins said to The CALL
correspondent tonight:
IN bet you a cigar Captain Merry will
be appointed this week.
This mission includes Salvador and
Honduras also, and pays $4,000 salary.
