ors. On cne occasion the streets were
packed with spectators watching the
guests depart from some royal func-
tion at Buckingham Palace. The crowd
refused to move except when some OF

Magistrate Sasse is keenly alive to
the funny side Of a serious situation, if|
the Wayfarer may be permitted to use
such an Irishlsm. A day or two ago
Augustus III. Jones, a colOred man,
called at his office and said that he had
a grievance against Eta Richter
light complexiOned negress Of his inti-
mate acquaintance. He said that he
bought a wheel and went to the sta
tion with it for the purpose OF leaving
town. just before the train
left, ELLA appeared at the station,
claimed that her money purchased the
wheel and demanded it, Rather than
have a warlike scene there he let her
take it home. After dreaming over the
matter for a night The decided to in
woke the aid of the LAW and selected
Magistrate Sasses court as his tri-
bunal. He exhibited receipt for the
wheel, and made such other represen-
tatiOns that the magistrate issued a
search warrant to Constable David w.
Hughes and instructed him to go TO
ELIAS home and get the wheel when
Hughes found Ella and stated his mis-
sion she flew in a violent rage and tod
him that he could only get the wheel
by passing over her dead body. He
requested her to select the spot in
which she preferred to lie after death,
and his apparent unconcern regardirg g
the duration of her life so affected her
that she changed her attitude OF bel
ligerency to one OF pleading. Finally
he got the wheel and took it to the
magistrates office. Shortly after
wards both Augustus and Ella appear
ed in front of the Office, and, after an
animated conversation. walked down
the street. In few minutes they re-
turned, went up the street as far as
the Court House and then came back
and entered the magistrates office.

affectionately at the woman beside
him. I'VE hab decided to settle dis

After the ceremony Ella returned tC

That is one of the sublimest lines in all
literature. It is the final definition of love
by the worlds greatest reader of the human
mind, Shakespeare. Nearly all women
who truly love, love in this sublime way.
Men seldom do.
Woman's most glorious endowment Is
the power to awaken and hold the pure
and honest love of worthy man. When
she loses it and still loves on, no one in
the wide world can know the heart agony
she endures. The woman who suffers
from weakness and arrangement of her
special womanly organism soon loses the
power to sway the heart of a man. Her
general health suffers and she loses her
good looks, her attractiveness, her amia-
bility and her power and prestige as a
woman. DR.. r. Y. Pierce, of Buffalo. N. Y,
with the assistance of his staff of able ply
sicians, has prescribed for many thousands
of women. He has devised perfect and
scientific remedy for women's ailments. 1t
is known as DR.. Pierce's Favorite Prescrip-
ton. 1t is positive specific for all weak
nesses, diseases, disorders, displacements,
irregularities, and facilitating drains pc
culiar to women. It purifes, regulates,
strengthens and heals. Medicine dealers
sell it, and no honest dealer will advise
you to accept substitute that he may
make little larger profit.

Hot Letter to War Investigating
Commission.
New York, Nov. 2S.-Robert B.
Roosevelt, secretary Of the Society
for the Protection of Soldiers, ad-
dressed bitter letter to the war in
vestigating committee. At its close
he says:
1--WE have furnished you the facts,
shown you brutality, cruelty, neglect,
Indifference; how men whom the gov.
eminent was under every obligation
to protect, and especially because
they had right to rely on such pro-
lection were starved even in the
LAND of plenty;were uncared for when
sick, left without attention when
wounded, were abused, maltreated-
in some cases practically murdered
We have shown you an indifference
and belittling of human sufferings
which continue even now. These
crimes and blunders must be correct
ed and your commission must correct
them. 1t is not for you to make the
feeble excuse that our committee, &
mere voluntary association with nc
legal existence even, shall shoulder
this responsibility"

Cervera's Fleet.

The secretary tells how Cervera's fleet.
having sailed from Cape Verde islands April
~ for an unknown destination, Sampson
sailed east with portion of his fleet for the
purpose of observation. At Cape Haitien
May the department was advised that the
Spanish squadron was reported at st.
Thomas. The following statement explains
ofticially why the bombardment Of san
Juan was not forced to an end: "Instruc-
lions We're also received that the vessels
accompanying him were not to be risked
or crippled in the bombardment of fortiflca-
lions, as 1t was considered unwise to risk
any OF the vessels of our navy until the
spanish heets had been met and destroyed.
The squadron did not arrive off San
Juan until the morning Of the 12th A bonn.
bardment of that place followed for two
hours and half. but as there was no land
force to hold 1t in case of its surrender IND
as the spanish Meet was not there 1t was de-
termined to return to Havana, where 1t was
possible Cervera might have gone,".
The report shows that the flying squadron
under Schley was ordered to Cienfuegos
upon notice that Cervera's squadron had
been seen off Curacao The report then
gives a considerable length to the instruc-
lions sent to Sampson and Schley and the
various movements Of the squadron until
the moment the Spanish fleet was destroyed
In Santiago harbor.
