Saving a mans life is looked uDon as the
greatest service that can be- rendered him.
If he is in danger, he feels forever grateful
to the friend who saves him. II he is de-
livered from savages, OF from wild animals,
or from drowning. OF from the teeth of q
shark, he can hardly find words TO express
his gratitude. Is it surprising then that DR..
Pierce has received thousands and thous-
Ands of entiusi tstiC letters from those who
have been saved from death and lingering
disease by his wonderful Golden Medical
Discovery ?" Hundreds OF these people
write to say that they had suffered for years;
that life had become miserable and that
death woul have been welcome. Some of
them say that doctors had given them up 10
die, when the use of the "Discovery"
brought them back to happy life and health.

has any disease of the throat, lungs, or bror-

Expedition for Cuba.

Expedition for Cuba.
scudding for the Cuban coast with a large cargo
Of munitions and some thirty five mon. The
tug came into Tampa harbor late yesterday
afternoon. anchoring in an obscure place. The
Captain said she was going on the ways for re-
pairs.
The vessel sailed. however. some time after
midnight with q full cargo Of arms and ammuni-
ton and many men.
An unknown schooner came into the lower
bay at dark and her cargo was transferred to
the Dauntless, loading her down to the gun
wales. 1t ia said that there were four rapid-frc
guns. several millions rounds Of cartridges,
boxes OF dynamite. hand grenades, about 700
machetes, and four electrical batteries.
Among the men were four electrical experts
from New York who had been engaged to go
along and oversee the laying of mines and the
rounds for the well-known dynamite gun that
Gen. Ducasse has, and which the Spaniards
dread so much.
The expedition is said to be tho largest ono
ever carried from this coast, and tonight the
Cubans here are greatly elated. The Dauntless.
instead Of coming up tho east coast, as tho
MarbleheAd expected, made a turn around Key
West and zane up the west coast.
The cutters went up the west coast In obedi-
ence to orders from Washington. but they
went up too far and so lost track of the Daunt-
less. As she sailed at midnight or thereabouts,
she is far beyond recapture by this time.

Mr.. Shriver and his counsel. Judge Jere Will

when the court opened at 10 O'Clock.
In the course OF Senator Gray's testimony
Judge Dittenhoefer objected to any questions
being put to Senator Gray regarding the article
In the Mail and Express, on the ground that
this article was not included In the resolution
for the Investigation. 1t was a neat point. and
Judge Dittenhoefer announced that on this point
he would base II motion to be made later on.

the question he Is charged in the indictment
with having refused to answer. Tho defendant
was privileged not TO disclose the name of his
informant, He was a newspaper man. and in
that capacity the information, was given to him
by the Congressman. In modern society, and,
more especially In our own country, newspapers
have been for q long time, performing the duty
crimes against the state and society, leading
often to their punishment.
"The court will take judicial notice Of the
fact that many of the most fragrant crimes
affecting the welfare OF society have been eX.
posed and brought to punishment through the
agency Of the newspaper. That agency will be
rendered useless II the newspaper can be com

Some or Them Said TO He contemplating o Re-
volt Against tho Machine.
There Is n threatened break in the harmony
which was supposed to prevail in the ranks of
the reorganized Democratic forces, and 1t may
be manifested at the meeting OF the new County
General Committee tomorrow night.
Since the Assembly district committees were
organized last week there have been some NUT
terings OF discomfort over the alleged high
handed manner in which the delegates to the
County m were chosen. 1t Is said that
In some districts tho names OF the delegates
were written on slips of paper and handed to
each of the members of the Assembly district
committees. with iron'clad instructions that no
other names should DO considered.
There was considerable suppressed grumbling
over This. but only two or three actual rcvolts.
and even these were ineffective against the ma
chine. When 1t was understood that the same
tactics were to prevail In the new County Com
mittee there WAS II formidable kick. and for the
purpose OF having the trouble smoothed over and
supprcssing open host %ilities the organization of
the committee was deferred from Monday night
until tomorrow night.
II Is now said that the kickers propose to have
their say In the choice of the officers of that body,
and to demonstrate, iii Is possible to do 40, that
the boasted reorganization of the Kings County
Democracy is Il fact, and not II sham.
IT Is Understood that Col. James d, Bell does
not intend to be deposed from tho Craftsmanship
without making "A light to retain II, and that no

he has taken, There are also rumors that
ex.County Clerk John Delmar, senator Michael

Manufacture or OleomarGarine 10 Shut Down
Heavy Loss or Revenue to the Government.
CHICAGO. June l5.-Gov. Tanners signature
of the bill forbidding the coloring Of a. butter
inc" will undoubtedly put an end to the manu-
facture of that article In Illinois. 1t will
throw thousands out of employment and tho
Federal Government will lose more than $780,.
600 annually in revenue. That is one view of
the passage OF the law. There Is another view
which is taken by the farmers. Charles Y.
knight, Secretary Of the Illinois Dairymen's
Union, estimates that the operation of the new
law will put SO, 900. 900 a year into the pockets
OF the farmers OF the State.
Millions Of pounds of butter have been dis
placed by the butterine turned out by the skilled
workmen In the packing house adjuncts. So
clever an imitation OF the real dairy product
have the butterine makers placed on the market
that restaurant. hotel. and boarding house pro-
prietors have been unable to resist the tempta-
ton to buy the cheaper article.
George F. Swift, one Of tho largest manu-.
facturers of butterine in the West, said to-day
that his firm would not engage further in a line
which caused The law to class a business man as
a criminal. Thirty million pounds Of butterine
are made In Chicago a year, on every pound of
which the manufacturer pays a 2.cent tax to
the Government, He can afford TO do 1t, too,
for tho modern product 30 closely resembles
dairy butter in color and taste that It easily
brings a good price. But, now that the farmers
nave secured The passage of a law prohibiting
the coloring of buttorine. thereby leaving IL The
shade OF mutton tallow, the palmy days OF the
stock yards product are past.
There nrc four firms engaged In the manufac.
ture OF butterine in Chicago, Armour & Co,
Swift Co, Braun & Fits. and q. II. Hammond
4 Co. The last firm has nm extensive plant nj
hammond, Ind, and will suffer only the loss oi
the Illinois trade. The other three houses will

in Illinois. Tho labOring man will find out IL

Braun x Ftts's factory on North Union street
stood the plant will close down before July /
when the new law goes into effect. Braun &
Fits manufacturc nearly one-third the total
annual product OF 30,OOO.O 900 pounds.
Two thousand dairymcn of Illinois have beer
working for the passage Of tho law ever since
1889. In that ycar and in '9l, 'a3, and '95 tn,

crease In tho price of butter and a decrease il

In his relations with the Presbyterian Board
of Missions here Mr.. Brady did not receive
much encouragement. and he came on to New
York to make a personal appeal for funds to en-
able him to establish sawmills and canning
works In the Territory.
He represented TO the church authorities that

hold upon the natives and at once ~civilize and
convert them. His views were not regarded
