MR. WILLIAM ARMSIONS.
sI have been a sufferer for eight years
with that horrible disease, Eczema, at
times all over my body, and no person
can describe the burning and itching I
had to endure.
"The extent OF my sufferings can be
appreciated when I state that my con.
dition was such that could not take
nv bed, and for three months ! never
laid down, but was compelled to sit In
my chair when not moving around. L
was treated by the best OF physicians
with no success, and tried all the patent
medicines recommended for Eczema,
without any good results. I then went
TO the Indiana Mud baths, with the same
results, and then to Mt. Clements, the
celebrated medical resort, where the
treatment partially helped me, but the
disease shortly returned. l went to
Florida, thinking that a change OF eli
mate and water and the cltron fruit
might cure me, but found no cure.
,"I then tried S. S.S.and after three days
the burning and itching subsidized, and
I continued to improve steadily until l
was well-entirely cured. After COM
mencing S. S. S. never put an exter-
nal application to my limbs or any part
of my body. You may refer to me any
person suffering from Ec1ema. l will
ALWAYS keep the S. S. S. in my house,
for 1 consider it the best blood medicine
of the present age. am seventy years
of age and am now in perfect health"
For real blood diseases relief can only
be obtained by using real blood RENE
dy. i So many people who are sufferers
from an obstinate or deep-seated blood
disease make the mistake OF taking REM
edies which at best are only tonics and
cannot possibly reach their trouble. l.
is in just such cases which other so-eaIieo q e
blood remedies cannot reach that S.S.S.
has made some of the most wonderful
cures.
S. S. S. cures permanently Cancer,
Catarrh, Rheumatism, Eczema, letter,
Contagious Blood Poison, Scrotu!a, and
all other diseases having their origin IN

THROUGH THE SNOW.
A CHRISTMAS STORY.

Mrs. Tubbs-fifty, fat and frosty,
dressed in black satin and fiowery
cap; comes from her housekeeping
room, where she has been consult
ing Betty, her cook, into the study
of DR.. Tubbs, her husband, who,
up later than his amiable spouse,
breakfasts leisurely, and reads his
letters gr,miy, on this snowy Christ
mas morning. He is by no means
a prepossessing gentleman. though
his coat is superfipe and his waist
coat large.
"I've ordered Betty" says Mrs
Tubbs, sinking into a chair, "to
make the fellow a small suet-dump-
ling-no plums or currants in ii
DR.. Tubbs, and send it with a rash
er of bacon. The fat bacon, DR..
Tubbs the ham-like lean ] keep
for the parlor for if ushers will
stop for the holidays where they
are not wanted, they must take the
consequences"
"Of course, my DEAR" answers
Tubbs pompously, and at the same
time winking terribly, for he has a
visional defect which always keeps
his eyelids moving. "Your re-
mark is most judicious. Indeed,
il the truth be spoken, even this
prudential arrangement will be un-
necessary, for / think of giving

And rouses from his sleep.

GADSDEN.
Sensation Developed in Court Over the
Introduction of Letters and Con-
tract to Influence the Jury.

Gadsden, Ala, March ia sensation
developed in court here today. The
case of Danforth and Armstrong against
the Tennessee and Coosa railway for
money due on contract, $150000. has been
in court several years and has been tried
and carried to the supreme court four
times. Each time the verdict has crept
up. At the last trial one of the county
commissioners was sent to jail and fined
for soliciting big verdict for the plain
tiffs. Today the railroad attorneys
moved to dismiss the case, alleging a
conspiracy between the plaintiffs and
Dr. Baker. In support of their notion
they introduced twenty mine letters and
copy of the contract between the plain
tiffs and DR.. Baker. In this contract
it was stipulated that Baker and asso-
ciates should Use their influence with
the juries and courts for big verdict
he to receive 10 per cent. for the amount
secured. One of Danforth's letters says
he has been furnished by Baker with
lists Of jurors since 1894 with names
marked to challenge. He suggested a
certain member of the supreme court as
the man to approach. 1t is the general
impression that there Is a conspiracy in
the town to corrupt justices in other
cases. An official investigation will be
made and other sensations may follow

Mrs. e. H. Cabaniss. who has just re-
turned from a tour of Mexico, was inn
pressed with the difference of the civil
ization of that country and the United
States. The difference is more marked
than between this and European coun-
tries. The Mexicans still pursue their
primitive methods of agriculture, plow-
ing with forked stick aad using carts
with high wooden wheels. Their method
of extracting silver from the ore is the
same method puEsued by their forefath-
ers for hundreds of years. They live in
adobe houses, made of clay. The num-
Der of beggars- Is enormous They grind
their corn with sharp stones before MAX
ing 1t into bread. Vegetables and fruit
are very cheap. A head of lettuce that
costs cents here costs ~ cent there.
The extremes between wealth and pow
erty is great. The common laborers get
20 cents day. 1t is a delightful country
in many respects.

SUSPICIOUS CHARACTERS.
Three White. Men Cause Alarm by Their
Appearance and Queer Actions
Near a Long Trestle.

Yesterday morning a gentleman living
in the neighborhood of a long trestle
on the Birmingham Mineral railroad. re-
ported to the authorities that the citizens
Of his locality were greatly exercised over
the appearance of three suspicious look
ing white men. The men seem to be
well supplied with Winchester rifles and
other small arms.
The gentleman gave his name as Meeks
but stated that he did not attempt to
close enough to the unwelcome visitors
to find out their business in that lonely
woodland.
Just at the trestle 1.-The Mineral road
makes a wide curve. embracing the en-
tire length of the trestle work, while the
surrounding country is wild and rugged.
The matter is now in the hands of the
sheriff and it is understood that deputies
have been sent to the place, although
those officials connected with the sheriffs
department decline to discuss the matter
at ALL In Difference to their request
the exact location ia not made public,
although they refused to make any kind
of a statement
fearless officer was soon at the trestle,
but no message has been received from
him III is probable that, as the story
has been we'll verified, a thorough in
vestigation will be made and no clue left
untried.
1t is thought that these three men
were implit ated in the robbery of the ex-
press car on the Louisville and Nashville
train the early part of the week. How
ever. there are many rumors circulating
and all of them are more or less mere
surnises.
The officer who went to the trestle yes
terday returned last night but 1t Is not
known what he learned about the three
men. AS soon as he came back he re-
ported to the officials and then left the

STAR PERFORMERS
Will Forget How to Count Railroad
Ties

SAN FRANCISCO, July 23.-Twelve
of the leading vaudeville theaters of the
West have united in a circuit that will
enable performers to secure longer en-
gagements than have ever been known
in the history of vaudeville in America.
The scheme was engineered by j. d.
Hopkins and George Castle, both OF
whom are known all over the amusement
world They had five Chicago theaters,
two st. Louis houses, a Pittsburg thea
ter, one in Cincinnati and one in Mil
waukee in the combine. Then they
wanted a Pacific coast end.
Negotiations have been pending for
some time and last week Manager Wal
ter Of the Orpheum circuit cabled his
acceptance of the final terms and prepa-
rations were at once begun towards en-
ploying European novelties.
The circuit will be of great advantage
to the vaudeville artists. There will be
no necessity Of making awkward jumps
or losing time to fill three or four weeks
engagement in the West. A continuous
salary will be assured. The theaters in
Guided in the combine are: Orpheud
circuit, San Francisco and Los Angeles;
Hopkins, theater, in Chicago, ST. Louis
and Pittsburg; Pixies Opera House, Gin
cinnati; Masonic Temple, Chicago; Hay
cago, and Chicago Opera House, Chicago
Negotiations are also in progress for
first class houses in several other cities.

OUT OF WORK
Killed His Friend for Failing to Give
A id

SAN FRANCISCO, July 2s.--Dr. Dom
aid MacLean, dean of the California
Medical college, was shot and seriously
wounded on Van Ness avenue this af-
ternoon by Patrick Walsh, a janitor,
who subsequently committed suicide.
DR.. Mclean was walking homeward
from the college when he encountered
Walsh, who taxed the doctor with hav-
ing failed to fulfil a promise made some
months ago to aid him in securing the
position of janitor at the college. The
doctor denied that he ives under any
obliga ton to him, whereupon Walsh
drew pistol and without further par
ley fired three times at his victim, wound
ing him in the left arm, hip and in the
shoulder. Being unarmed, DR.. Mclean
made no attempt to defend himself and
fell to the sidewalk. Walsh then
turned upon his heel and started up
Golden Gate avenue with crowd in
pursuit. After running for several
blocks Walsh saw the police patrol
wagon behind him and increased his
speed but at the corner of Eddy and
Laguna streets he stopped suddenly
and placing his pistol to his temple,
pulled the trigger and fell to the ground
dead. His body was removed to the
morgue where it was found that he
had written a statement upon the back
Of a letter from DR.. Mclean to the
effect that the doctor had lied to him and
therefore driven the nails into his own
coffin. DR.. Mclean is 55 years old and
has a wife and three children.
