Half the Population of the City Has
Fled.

BOMBAY. January At is estimated
that over 10000 persons, comprising more
than half the population of the city, have
fed to the country to escape the plague
The streets are practically deserted, the
shops and bazaars are closed and bust
ness is practically at a standstill. The
doctors are beginning to fear treating
plague patients, lest they contract the
disease, and many Of the natives have
fed. About 800 900 persons are encamped
at Andheri but they will not be able to
remain there long, owing to scarcity OF
water, and the unsanitary conditions pre-
Vailing.
The cemeteries Of the city are filed wit,
the dead, and it is becoming very diff
cult to bury the corpses, owing to the re-
fusal of even friends and relatives 10
handle them, dreading contagion.
Up to last night the official statistics
showed that there were 3.39i cases of the
plague and 1856 deaths from the disease.

WRONG AND RIGHT EATING.
One Makes Us Weaky the Other
Makes Us strong.

Wrong eating makes US weak, because
1t doesn't nourish us. 1t poisons US. be-
cause 1t sets up poisonous fermentation
in our stomach and the poisons go into
our blood.
Wrong eating is eating kndigestible
food. or eating more than our stomach Is
able to digest. "
Right eating is eating digestible food.
food that the stomach Is able to digest,
food that will nourish you when 1t Is d.
gested.
Right eating strengthens and invigor-
ates the body, gives endurance, increases
weight and restores health.
Wrong eating can be made right by
taking the Shaker Digestive Cordial. This
preparation, made by the Shakers from
simple herbs, roots and wine. Is delicious
refreshing. and strengthening to the
body. 1t is powerful aid to digestion.
1t does not act by strongly stimulating
the stomach, but with it's own digestive
ferments acts on the food in the stomach,
and reduces, instead of increasing, the
work which the stomach has to do.
This is why it increases your strength,
why it will cure you of all the bad effects
of indigestion and of insufficient nourish-
ment. and purifies your system of all dam
gerous indigestive poisons. when nothing
else has been found to relieve you.

General Weyler's prohibition. notable
demonstration took place here, today, in
his honor. The Bourse was closed, as
We're also the principal stores and the to-

Captain General Weyler, after thanking
the Populations for their assurance. said
he accepted the command in difficult cir
cumstances and without conditions. The
success of the campaign could be esti-
mated and properly appreciated by the
country from the visible facts. In the
course of seven months four important
provinces had been nearly paciiied and
he was confident of being able to pacify
the two remaining provinces, at the
proper time. with the Az battaliOnS ready
for the task. He said:
Il expect to be able to pacify Puerto
Principe and Santiago de Cuba at am
early date, for the rebels there know me
and fear me and will not resist me- STILL
I believe the war should be ended with
war; here as everywhere else. and not
with shameful dealings disgraceful to any
nation, and all the more in view of the
terrible condition of the rebels. I have
followed the policy of the illustrious Ca
novas.
Il would like to please those who are
today, demonstrating in my honor by re-
naming in Cuba. but the delicate condi-
ton in which | have been placed has
compelled me. today, to request the gov
eminent to dispose of my position in
whatever way it may think convenient
and however the matter may be decided
