Children should always
increase in weight. Not to
grow, not to increase in flesh,
belongs to old age.
Present and future health
demands that this increase
in weight should be steady
and never falling.
To delicate children,
Scott's Emulsion brings
richer blood and frmer
flesh. Better color comes
to the cheeks and stronger
muscles to the limbs. The
gain in weight is substantial;
it comes to stay.

EUROPEAN TRAVEL BLOW.
War Depriving Atlantic Steamers of a
Vast Amount of Patronage.

New York, May N.-Passenger lists of
outward bound steamers show how seri-
ously the war has affected ocean travel.
The heaviest season of the big transatlan-
tic liners usually begins early in April
and lasts until the end of October It is
different now.
A marked falling off in bookings and
sailings has taken place in the first and
second cabins. Travel in the steerage
seems to have been little affected. Some
of the agents estimate there will be 80, 900
less to cross the ocean in the first and
second cabins than during the correspond
ing season last year
It is not much the fear of travelling
on the high seas during hostilities as a re-
luctance to leave the country at this time
which is keeping thousands of persons
from taking their usual vacation abroad

HEAVY LOSS OF LIFE
Is Shown by the Report of the Colora-
do Mining Bureau.

Denver. May 21.-The report of the state
mining bureau, just issued, shows that out
of a total of $500 men actually at work
in the quartz mines of the state no lost
their lives by accident during 1S97-4.4 per
1000. This is regarded by mining men as
an exceptionally heavy loss of life, and as
a reflection upon the laws of the state.
During the past few weeks the papers
have reported the loss of six lives from
smothering, the result of fires at the
mouths of the. exits. In commenting. upon
this fact, mining man said: 1T is not
always possible to construct two exits
from a mine without mourning a much
greater expense than the mine can stand,
but a single exit can be made absolutely
safe from the dangers resulting from fire.
The erection of a shaft house over the
mouth Of a shaft should be forbidden by
law. There is no necessity for any build
ing over the mouth of a shaft. The gal
lows frame should be the only thing per-
mitted to be erected over the mouth Of a
shaft, and this cannot be injured by ex-
posture to the weather. The house for
distance from the shaft to prevent the
gases and fire falling down in case of fire.
This would work no hardship to the min
ers, for the house would not be required
to be SO large as when the house cover
the shaft. The inspectors should be au-
thOrized by law to prevent the erection of
any building over a shaft

equally astonished, though perhaps not
disposed to laughter, had they known that
the women of western nations, through false
ideas of delicacy, suffer in silence untold
agony, and sometimes death, through neg
lect of their health in a womanly way.
Women, who suffer in this way shrink from
the embarrassing examinations and local
treatment insisted upon by the majority of
physicians. If they only knew it, there is
no necessity for these ordeals. An emil
nent and skillfu1 physician long since dis
covered remedy that women may use in
the privacy of their own homes. It is DR..
Pierce's Favorite Prescription. 1t acts di-
rectly on the feminine organism, giving it
strength, vigor and elasticity. It stops all
debilitating drains. 1t is the greatest of all
nerve tonics and invigorators for women.
Thousands of women who were weak, sick
1y, petulant and respondent invalids are
to-day happy and healthy as the result of
the use of this wonderful medicine. Good
druggists do not advise substitutes for this
incompatible remedy.

young lieutenant who had declined an
offered promotion was at the head of his
men during that heroic charge up San
Juan Hill, in the face of a whitening fire,
saws the New York Herald He was wild
with excitement, never thinking of his
own danger, but with aching heart for
his men dropping around him. He finally
gained the top of the hill with about
twenty men, and was one of the first four
officers to reach the top. He was the very
first man on the right of the blockhouee.
and there he dropped-shot through the
arm and the right side.
When he recovered consciousness he
dragged himself to the rear, and was there
placed in a wagon, after the flow of blood
had been stopped, and his right arm strap
ped to his side. The wagon was full
OF sorely wounded men, and had proceeded
scarcely two miles over the wretched trail
to Slboney when the brake gave way, re-
quiring the teamster to get down and
walk beside the wagon.
The lieutenant took the lines and with
his left hand drove the four mule team
thirteen miles over the toughest trail In
Cuba. Then half unconscious from ex-
haustion he was placed aboard trans
port bound for Key West.
On reaching the Convent Hospital there
he at once applied to be returned to duty,
but was refused. He was offered a sick
leave but declined, and after giving his
gentle nurses a lively two days he slipped
away one night and boarded a war ship,
which he knew would leave for Cuba the
next day.
He reached his regiment In time to wit
ness the bombardment of Santiago, and lie
has never left his men one day since.
These appreciative men hold him in deep
regard and admiration that amount almost
to worship.
He has received no promotion for his
conduct. He has not even been honorably
mentioned-for his commander does not
believe in rewarding young men for doing
their duty-though he has gratefully ac
cepted an appointment TO higher rank.
The brave lieutenant has made but little
complaint and accepts the consciousness
of duty well performed as hts reward.

How KIIeore Turned the Tables.


An amusing story, in which the tables
were cleverly turned, dates from the war
between the North and South. The hero
of it was the late Judge Kilgore. While
serving In the army says the Youths
Companion, he was ordered home to assist
in the capture of some deserters. one
evening he was pursuing his search in the
country, suffering from WEAKNESS and
hunger-especialy hunger.
About dusk he stopped a a house by the
wayside in time 10 see a woman removing
from the fire nicely broiled chicken. The
smell of the food joined forces with his
hunger, and he drew from his. pocket a

What do you mean by that?" asked the
officer.
Il mean that we will see who can jump
the farthest from this doorsill out into the
yard. The one that beats shall have the
chicken and the dollar"
The hungry officer agreed. The dollar
was placed on the dish with the chicken,
the gun rested against the wall near the
door, and the stranger swung his arms
and made a tremendous leap.
He recovered himself with difficulty ard

doorway, his gun cooked in her hands

and was thankful to climb into the loft
and sleep. Presently he was awakened
by voices below. One, a female voice
was telling a story of a disappointed
soldier and long jump. In that voice the
officer recognized his acquaintance of the
evening. As she told of his discontinue
peal after peal of laughter bore witness
to the humorous character of the story.

THE WASHINGTON GUNS.

The two brass pieces in front of Armory
Hall, the headquarters of the provost
guard of the Seventh Corps. are among
the most interesting and cherished relics
of the Revolutionary period in the coun-
try. They are French guns, which were
captured by the Colonial and British forces
in Canada during the war which resulted
in the Wrestling of that country from
France, and they were afterward used
by the British against the Americans in
the Revolutionary war They formed a
part of the artillery surrendered by Lord
CORVALLIS at Yorktown When Gen.
Washington visited Savannah in 1891 the
Chatham Artillery was one of the mill
tary companies that received and welcom-

of government at Philadelphia he caused

the company.

MAKE THE VOTE LARGE.

The congressional election is barely more
than a week off. 1t is a foregone conclu-
sion that a full Democratic delegation will
be returned to Congress from Georgia.
The election in this state this year, how

apathy leads to.

THE NEW ADMINISTRATIONS.

The government of the state of Georgia
changes hands to-day at noon. At that
time the Hon. Allen D. Gambler of Han
county will be indicted into the Office Of
Governor, succeeding the Hon w. Y. At
kinson. The Inauguration ceremonies viii
be simple and speedily completed, and this
nightfan will have witnessed a complete
transfer of the reins of government from
one administration to another without jar
or fricuon-an object lesson in popular
government which should be of interest
to foreign commemorative that are less
favored.
The incoming Governor, Mr. Gambler,
possesses the esteem and confidence of the
people of his stale to a remarkable de-
gree. He was elected to Office by one OF
the largest majorites received by any
candidate in this state for many years,
Notwithstanding his canvass was not as
thorough as 1t would probably have been
under other circumstances than those
which obtained. II has, by the way, been
the usual thing for him to receive excep-
tionally large majorities whenever he has
run for office.
MIR. Gambler has been before the public
for a number of years as congressman
secretary of state, etc, and on all occa-
sions and under all circumstances he has
lived up to the requirements of the Of
fee which he held His personality is one
which instinctively induces confidence and
respect. Rugged. honest and vigorous, he
goes straight TO the point in all matters
with which he is called upon to deal, and
by the most direct and common-sense
route He abhors sham and empty pre-
tense and has little patience with hair
splitting and superabundant red-tape. IL
is riskng nothing to predict that his ad-
minislration will be one of the most sue
cessful that Georgia has ever had. He is
in touch with the people. He knows the
reforms which they need. and he has the
courage to speak plainly and point out
how those reforms should be made As an
executive, he will stand for evenhanded
Justice to all and the enforcement of law.
The new Governor is fortunately sur
rounded by a staff of assistants in the
state house offices, every one of whom may
be depended upon TO perform the functions
of his office In a manner that will satisfy
the people and reflect credit upon the adj

For Nnnoleon,s sake.
