A CRITICAL TIME
During the Battle
Of Santiago.
SICK or WELL, II RUSH
NIGHT A.NO DAY.

The Packers at the Battle Of Santi-
ago de Cuba were all Heroes. Their
Heroic Efforts in Getting Ammu-
milton and Rations to the Front
Saved tne Day.
: P. E. BUTLER, of pack-train, No.
8, writing from Santiago de Cuba,
on July 23d, says: eve all had
Giarrfoea in more or less violent
form, and when we Landed we had
no time to see a doctor, for it was a
case of rush and rush night and day
to keep the troops supplied with am
munition and rations, but thanks to
Chamberlair's Collie, Cholera and
Diarrhoea Remedy, we were able to
keep at work and keep our health;
in fact, | sincerely believe that at
one critical time this medicine was
the indirect saviour of our army, for
if the packers had been unable to
work there would have been no way
of getting supplies to the front.
There were no roads that a wagon
train could use. My comrade and
myself had the good fortune to lay
in supply of this medicine for our
pack-train before we left Tampa,
and l know in four cases it absolute
ly saved life.''

death takes us by surprise" Our
hearts are hushed and for an instant
the pulse of life stands still. That
this Gear friend of ours, in the mag
nifcent flower of his manhood,
should be called so suddenly from
our midst, with the joyous promise
of life shining so full upon him!
With manly courage he stood ready
at life's great call, and every duty
and every pleasure found his cheer
full and ready response. He has
carried his earnest endeavor very
early to a different sphere of action
and we know that he will complete
it there, for his mission is not end
ed; God has yet other work for him
to do. We cannot look beyond the
veil, but we can in spirit be with
him and he with us. Long in the
holy light OF love memory will hold
the vision of the loving and beloved
son and brother, the adoring and
cherished husband, the proudly hap
ply father, and the affectionate
friend and companion.

An Old Idea.

Every day strengthens the belief of emf
nent physicians that impure blood is the
cause of the majority of our diseases.
Twenty-Five years ago this theory was used
as basis for the formula of Browns Iron
Bitters. The many remarkable cures effected
by this famous old household remedy are
sufficient to prove that the theory is correct.

RELIEVED OF HER WARD.
Judge Hudspeth Suspects an Estate
lis Being Wasted


Mrs. Margaret E. Brightman of Hobo
ken. made an application to the Orphans
Court yesterday afternoon to have her ac-
counts as guardian of her grandson,
George E. Brghtman, passed. The boy
is now nine years old.
On May A, 1894, William l. Havens, the
boys uncle. died, leaving an estate valued
at $40, ,000 The will provided that the boy
was to receive the income of one-third of
the estate for his maintenance and edu-
cation until he attained the age of thirty,
when he is to receive the principal. His
guardiany but in a short time relinquished
the guardianship, and the boys grand
mother was substituted.
Among the items in her account are
81 900 for board at the rate of $25 a month,
and $685. AZ for clothing, doctors bills, den
lists bills, toys, tickets for the circus and
for concerts and great variety of other
things. Mrs. Brightman said that she
had only $50 left of the $1,T00, which was
the boys share of the income from the es-
tate for the three years. Judge Huds-
peth questioned Mrs. Brightman very
sharply, and drew from her the informa-
ton that the boys father and some other
relatives have been living at tne poy e4-
pense His father has not Seen fit to do
any work for nearly a year, and he ana
the other relatives have been having what
is termed soft snap" Judge Hudspetn1
after intimating that the boys estate had
been sauandered recklessly, relieved Mrs
Brightman from the guardianship tempor-
arly and appointed. Surrogate James I.
Iilis guardian ad litem. The Surrogate
will make a thorough investigation of the
account and report to the Court on FEB
ruary 4. Mrs. Brightman looked very
much surprised at the Courts action.

M'OOMAS GAINS.
Marylander's Friends JubiIent over
McKinIey.s Interfersnce.

ANNAPOLIS, Md, Jan. %, 1S9S.-After
taking one ballot the joint convention ad-
journed until Monday at noon. Judge
McComas' gain of two included Senator
Emory of Baltimore county and Delegate
Tull of Talbot, both sof whom left Major
Shaw Delegate Hall also deserted Major
Shaw and went to Mr.. Findlay making a
net loss of three for Shaw
The friends of Judge McComas were ju-
bilant this morning over the announce
ment that President Mckinley had taken
a firm stand in behalf of their candidate,
and freely predicted his election in the
near future. Many claim, as a result of
this Presidential interference, that the
four Barber votes, those of Senators Day
and Emory, and the two Findlay men,
will certainly go over to Judge McComas.
They were not prepared to say exactly
when it would be done, but intimated
that perhaps it might be on todays bal
lot, or that it might be postponed until
Monday or Tuesday. This, if true, will
give McComas So votes on joint ballot
which is six less than the requisite num-
Der. If they get the remaining six, four
will come from among those members
who have heretofore voted for Shaw and
who do not belong to the "fithful eleven"
from Baltimore City.
This contingent, together with Senator
Westcott of Kent, say they will stand out
against McCOmas until the very last gun
is fired and if they do it is not clear how
McComas can win, as So votes are neces-
sary to choice, and without the IL
above mentioned but Sc can be mustered.
His friends clearly expect a break in the
eleven however, when it becomes clear
that McComas needs but two votes to
elect him.

her to .Ratcliffe in August, 1888, in Eng
land, with her. She stated that she had
never heard of the woman in Derbyshire,
who wrote the other day to District At
torney Gardiner, stating that she thought
her daughter was also married to Rat
cliffe. The Ravenhill woman was in
clined to doubt the story. The District
Attorneys office took charge of this al
legged wife of Ratcliffe.
She is the daughter of a fishmonger,
is thirty-two years old and tolerably
good looking.
Radcliffe was arraigned in Police Court
later in the day and confronted by the
Ravenhill woman. She positively ldentl-
fed him as the husband whom she mar
ried in England in 1888. Cross examined
she had lived in England since then with
a man named Chopin and had borne his
name. The case was adjourned until
Monday when Ratcliffe's alleged wife said
she would produce the marriage certltl-
cate in court.

forty postmasters have replied to the cir
cular sent out by Postmaster General
Gary asking what savings could be made
in the administration of their offices dur
ing the remainder of the fiscal year, in
order to avert deficiency in the postal
appropriation. Nearly all of them set out
that their offices are now being run on an
economical basis, and that any further
reduction of working force is out of the
question. A few exceptions to this rule
admit that some saving might be made,
but say it will cripple the existing service
to cut down the force of employees. Mean
while personal remonstrances against any
reduction in force that viii. impair the

today on the Campania. Sloan looked in
excellent health. He said he enjoyed his

praise for the English turfmen and was
treated royalty.
Sloan received princely offers to ride
next season in England and wants to go
back next year. He is under contract
to ride here, however, for the racing firm
of Charles Fieischman's & Sons There
was a probability that his American en-

tract. but it now seems that they will not.
Julius F'leiShman, one OF Sloan Amefl-
can employers, came to this city yesterday
and held a conference with Trainer Tom
Welsh He denied that there was any
truth in the report that he would release
Sloan, and said that his brother had never
contemplated it.
Their plans for '9S season were greatly
based upon the strength of Sloan's abil-

been much greater than they would have
