BACK ROUND STRAITS.
Preparations for Sending Battle
ships Oregon and Iowa to
Pacific Station.

Washington, D. c.. Sept. 1.-THE navy
department is shifting some of the Off
GERS on the battleships Oregon and Iowa
preparatory to their departure from New
York on their long cruise TO San Francis
co by way of the Straits Of Magellan.
The department has just selected from
among the fleet Of golfers acquired dur
ing the war four of the best and largest 70
accompany the battleships on their long
run. These are the CaSsius. the Scindia.
the Alexander and the Aberendia. and
their coal capacity is sufficient TO insure a
full supply for the big battleships as WEI
as for themselves without subjecting the
fleet to the refusal Of any OF the South
American republics to allow them TO take
on coal Oh account of the war between
the United States and Spain. No attempt
is to be made to drive the big ships so rs
to equal the famous run of the Oregon
coming eastward, the need for the ships
on the Pacific side not being so pressing
as to warrant mourning the risk of injur-
ing the boilers or machinery by keeping
up full speed. 1t is expected that the
battleships with their Golfers will be able
TO start from New York about the end of
this month

FAMED organization known as the
Woman's Relief Corps.
One of the most earnest members of the.
corps at Byron, H., is Mrs. James House
Weart, but illness once put a stop to her
active work. A year or so ago, when she,
was nearly fifty years of age, the time
when women must be more careful of
their strength, Mrs. Houseweart was.
taken seriously i'll. The family physician
told her that she had reached a critical
period of her life, and must be very care
full. His prescriptions and treatment did
not benefit her, and other treatment
proved unavailing.
At last DR.. Williams Pink Pills for
Pale People were brought to her notice,
with ~indisputable evidence that they were
helpful in cases such as hers, and with
renewed hope she tried the remedy. Last
March she took the first box of the pills,
which CAV much relief. She was deter
mined to be cured, and kept on with the
medicine, until now eight boxes have been
consumed, and she feels like a new
woman.
Mrs. Houseweart said: 81 have taken
only eight boxes, but | have been improv-
ing since | took the first dose. I d. not
believe l could have lived without the
pills. They certainly have done me more
good than any physician or any medicine
I have ever tried"
DR.. Williams Pink Pills are sold in
boxes (never in loose bulk at 80 cents a.
box or six boxes for $3.50, and may be
had of all druggists, or direct by mail

FRIENDLY BOUT is FATAL.
One Expert Fencer Kills Another in
New York City.

New York, Sept. 10.-Two men in a
spirit of friendly rivalry tried a bout
with foils last night at the room of the
New York Fencing association, with the
result that one is dead. The dead man is
Capt. Hippolyte Nicolas, formerly an Off
Ger in the French army, and organizer of
the New York Fencers' club. He was 63
years old and had seen service first in the
Italian war, then in the Crimea and last
in the Franco-Prussian troubles. Charles
@. Thieroelin, the other, was also an Off
is a fencing master.
The two were friends Of years stand
ing. 1t has long been their custom to
meet in a friendly practice bout with the
foils every evening. They fenced yes
terday alone in a room. Thieroelin made
a thrust with his foil. Capt. Nicolas was
fencing with his left hand. He was
slow. Thieroelin's foil slipped up his
arm, struck his collar bone. Five inches
of the foil broke off and Prof. Nicolas
dropped on the floor.
"Have I hurt your asked Thieroclin.
"NO," the other mar replied.
Then he became unconscious. He died
in a few minutes. Physicians summoned,
examined the body. A small tear in the
flesh was found under the left shoulder of
the dead man. All agreed the wound
could not have caused death. 1t was
their opinion death was due to heart dis
ease brought on by the shock. Thieroelin
was arrested.

JUDGE COOLEY DEAD.
Man Who was Considered the
NeStor of the Michigan
Bar Passes Away.

Ann Arbor, Mich, Sept. 12.-Judge
Thomas NJ. Cooley, the noted jurist and
constitutional lawyer, died early today at
his home. Three months ago he re-
turned from a private sanitarium at
Flint, Mich, whore he had been treated
chiefly for mental weakness. He was
then so much improved in mental health
that he was able to recognize acquaint-
ances. He realized his weak physical
condition and his failing mental abili-
ties and often expressed a wish that
death would come. Several weeks ago he
re-apsed into a comatose condition. Dur
ing the ensuing interval the only intel
ligible utterance he made was once when
he inquired for his eldest son. His de-
mise had been expected for weeks past.
In 1924 Judge Cooley was born in At

New England stock, but they moved
