In Judge Williams court yesterday
the case of the state against William
O'Brien. charged with assault in the

was accused OF breaking Harry Miller's

The cause of the row was a dispute
about a dice game in which O'Brien

the bartender at Powelrs place on
lower Main street and in this place
the affair occurred. During the dispute
O'Brien is said to "a jumped over the

there was not sufficient evidence at
hand to warrant a conviction. and the
case was dismissed.

Health Depends

chiefly upon the condition of the stomach.
If the stomach is not performing its
proper functions, you cannot enjoy good
health. The genuine Johann Hoff's
Malt Extract when taken with meals,
will aid the stomach to perform its duty
keep it in good order, and thus enable
you to secure the full benefit of your
food.
Prof. Petra Santa of Paris, writes:
" AS large number of patients lack the
necessary power to digest solid food,
and would through the use of stimu-
lants be merely excited and weakened,
therefore 1 regard it of immense value
to the practitioner to bring to his aid a
nutritious tonic and remedy like Johann
Hoff's Malt Extract, which will act not
only as a tonic, but as a nutrient as
well, and which is less exciting than
wine as a stimulant"
Ask for the genuine Johann Hoff's Malt
Extract. All others are limitations.

DISTINCTIONS FoR WOMEN.
Honorary Titles That May BE Won
in Many Countries.
From the New York Tribune.

From the New York Tribune.
Only about twenty foreign orders are
open to women. these being strictly con-
fincd/to a small class.
In England. If the Order of the Hospital
of 81. John of Jerusalem be excluded,
only three honorary titles can be con-
ferred on the gentler sex. These are the
Crown of India, the Royal order of Vic
toria and Albert and the R,sTal Red Cross.
The total membership of women in these
orders Is about 200, of whom seventy
are of royal blood, thlrty-three are rela-
tives of the British governors of India or
Indian princesses, sixty-one are nurses.
and the remainder are Of thigh distinc-
ton"
The Royal Order of Victoria and Albert
is noteworthy as being the first order open
to women established in the British en-
pire.
The Order of the Royal Red Cross was
Instituted on st, Georges day, 1880. for
zeal and devotion in providing for and
nursing sick and wounded sailors, SOL
diers and others with the army in the
field, on board ship or in hospitals The
Queen is the head of the order There
are eight royalties at the top of Its roll
and foreigners as well as British subjects
nv N'SiDles VI WHOM AuSFG are sixty
seven on the list, about ten of them being
religieuses.
Somewhat analogous to the Order of the
Red Cross Is the Order of the Hospital OF
st. John of Jerusalem. The Queen Is the
sovereign of this order, and the Prince
of Wales grand prior. This order confers
medals for gallantry In saving life on
land, and several of those who have re-
ceived 1t have been women.
The Albert medal was instituted March
q 1855. for gailantry i'm saving or attempts
ing 10 save, life at sea, and since 1877 for
similar acts ashore. The only woman who
has received this decoration is Miss Han
nah Rosbotham-now Mrs. Parr-who was
presented with the medal in 1882 by her
majesty.
There are now fifty-two French women
who belong to the Order of the Legion Of
Honor, and eight other legionnaires have
been removed by death. Al the head of
the HIST stands Rosa Bonheur, the great
painter. The award of the French Jury.
which gave to her the grand prix for The
Horse Fair" carried with IL the cross or
the Legion OF Honor. The decoration was
refused to her on account of her sex In
1853, but was ultimately conferred upon
her In 1865. She was promoted to the rank
of officer in April 1894
French women may also receive the dis
tinction of becoming officer de Pinstruc-
ton publique, or of being elected officer
de racademie.
It Is interesting to note that orders for
women exist in France, Bavaria Hesse
Saxony, Turkey Japan, Wurtemburg
Prussia, Russia and Spain.

Cuban independence, appointed for Mon

the provinces to second the efforts of the

great efforts to persuade the Spanish resi-

advantage over annexation
The committee, which announces that 1t
will soon publish a manifesto, calls on
all resident Spaniards to help achieve in

tier hold meetings nightly at private resi-
dences, where they adopt resolutions de-
manding the absolute independence of the

of the United States in recognizing it.
Each meeting results in the nomination
of president and of ministers of its
own, a condition of things which, if it
leads TO nothing else, is bound to cause
great confusion when the day comes for
sorting out the different public servants
