Mayor Miles B. Preston has been
Hartford's chief executive for two

Mayor Preston is the first chief mag

The skin and the eyes are two good
thermometers OF health. If the skin
has spots, eruptions, an unhealthy
pallor or a yellow appearance, and the
eyes a glazed look, with yellowish
whites, it is high time to purify the
blood and regulate the liver and kid
neys. Paine's celery compound makes
bright red blood and relieves the liver
and kidneys Of the strain that is
brought upon them whenever impure
blood is constantly pouring through
their substance.
There is every reason in the world
why Paine's celery compound should
build up sickly people, increase the
appetite and nourish every tissue in
their body
AS even children are aware, there is
blood all over the body. II is this
blood which builds up the tissues that

Intimates Very Strongly That Some

Philadelphia, March 4-Emilio MI
nez. promoter Of the Cuban iilibuster-
ing expedition, who has just returned
to his home in this city from his re-
cent trip to Cuba on the filibustering
steamer Dauntless, was shown to-day
the Washington dispatch which stated
that Senior Du Bose, Spanish charge
d'affaires, had informed the State De-
partment that the Dauntiess expedi-
ton was not successful and had failed
to effect a landing.
Mr.. Nunez shrugged his shoulders
after the dispatch had been read to
him, and remarked that it is Just as
we'll that the Spanish authorities
shall have that opinion regarding the
Dauntless expedition, but evidently be
coming more interested in the topic
he continued: MY last expedition
nut into Cuba 100000 bullets located at
the ends of 0,000 mauser cartridges.
And every one of these bullets is now
being used to let daylight into the
Spaniards who think as Senior Du Bose
thinks. If Senior Du Bose knows as
much about my recent expedition as
the Spanish authorities i'll Havana
know about the destruction OF the
Maine, and if Senior Du Bose says that
expedition was failure. as the Span
ish authorities say the Maine bleN up
on her own account, then Senior Du
Bose is of the same stripe as the
authorities in Havana. He is liar"
Mr.. Nunez expressed the opinion
that the battleship Maine was de-
stroyed by Spanish officials. with
their knowledge and by their hands. ;"

Yesterday morning the report was
broadcast in the Eighth ward that a
girl Of that part of town had COM
mitted suicide by drowning. The
story waes due to the fact OF the dis
appearance Of Emma Vinskofskv, aged
II years, from her home at No. 1899
Wood street. Her father, Joseph
Ninskofsky, works at the Riverside.
The girl worked at the Wheeling
Lamp and Stamping Company's fac
tory. The factory has been working
at nights lately to keep up with orders
and the girl got home about eleven
o'clock Thursday night very much
tired from her long days work. 1t
is alleged that as soon as she entered
the house her father began to quarrel
with her and scoid her. She had
taken of her shoes, and without wait
ing to put them on, she walked out of
the house bare-headed and shoeleSs.
The father paid no attention to the
girl, saying that as soon as she got
cold she would came back. She, how
ever. did not come back during the
night, and yesterday the story gained
circulation that she had ended her
life by drowning herself. 1t seems
that her father is of penurious dis
position, and has frequently scolded
his daughter for not bringing more
money home.
The girl has become very much dis
couraged, and remarked to one of her
girl friends that the next time he
scolded her she would drown herself.
This threat was the cause Of the cir
culation Of the suicide story. ConsiG-
cradle alarm was felt when it was
feared that she had carried out her
threat, and the Eighth ward officers
spent all day yesterday hunting for
the girl She was located by officer
Meyers in the house of a neighbor,
and only agreed to go home after
much persuasion. 1t was found that
she had1spent the entire night in an
clubhouse, and was physically worn
out yesterday morning, when she
went to neighbours.
