News of the fighting in Manila. on more than l4.00O miles, over dozen or more cables and three or more overland wires before it gets to this city. Very few persons among the thousands who watch the. bulletin boards these days, stop to think. when a Manila dispatch is posted that the message was repeated over and over again, as it was sent from cable office to cable ofiice, in the long journey from the Philippine port to the American shore. It travelled across seas, gulfs, bays and straits, mountains, valleys and plains. Bat yesterday the news that Commodore Dewey was ready to lombard Manila was known in this city thirty-fve min. utes in actual time after the British operator at Manila opened his key. The cables were rushing things.
 The eastern cables are owned by British companies, the Eastern Tele- graph Company and the Eastern Exten sion, Australia and China Telegraph Company. The two companies are con trolled by the same men. Across the China Sea, from Hong Kong to Cape Bolinao, on Luzon island, in the Phil ippines, d cable was laid in lss). The cable is 529.ll miles long. From Cape Bolinao across the island to Manila is a telegraph line about loo miles long. All the news We have received from Manila has been first telegraphed from Manila to the cable station at Cape Boiinao. and from there sent on by cable to Hong Kong.
 From Hong Kong to New York mes sage has an interesting course. From the Chinese port it is first sent down the China Sea, over 4O0-mile cable to Saigon in Cochin China. Another ca ble, 630 miles long. conveys it to Singa-

From Singapore it runs around the Malay peninsula to the Island of Penang, on the western coast of Lower Siam, distance of 3SS miles. Across the Bay of Bengal from Penang to Madras the message is repeated on a cable HOS miles long.
 In India the message reaches the first land telegraph line after leaving the Island of Luzon. Across India to Bombay the me sage runs over SOo miles of wire. Then it is put on a ca ble again to cross the Arabian SCI to Alden, on the Gulf of Alden. distI Ince of 1851 miles. Up through the Red sea to Suez is another long cable, HOB miles.

JEHu BAKER GOES BLIND.
Sad Amiction BefaIls n Weil-knoWn
Illinois ConRressman.

Belleville, Ill, Oct. L-Congressman
Jehu Baker is blind after an active ca
reer covering half a century. At his age.
seventy six. the doctors say there Is no
hope of a restoration of his sight.
The Congressman has been failing for
soma time He has never quite recov-
cred from his serious illness of four years
ago. Congressman Paker has been for
years a conspicuous figure in politics In
Southern Illinois. He is the only man that
evor defeated Col. William r. Morrison,
so long Congressman from this. the old
eighteenth, district. and more recently
chairman of the Interstate Commerce
Commission.
Mr. Baker whipped Col. Morrison three
times AT the last election in which
Morrison was defeated the tariff was
the great issue, and Col. Morrison was
such a conspicuous low-tariff man that
he was known from one end of the Unit
ed States to the other as Horizontal
Bill"
Mr. Baker was prevailed upon by the
Republicans to take another nomination
against his old opponent. The campaign
which followed is historic in this part OF
the world. Its like was never seen before
nor since. When the ballots were counted
Mr.. Baker was elected, and Col Morrison
never again became a candidate for an
elective Office.

will never wear undisputed the title of
Daughter of the Confederacy," which
honor she now claims, nor will anyone
else. The agitation over the matter is
Widespread in the South. and Gen. John
b. Gordon, who has heretofore treated
the matter lightly. said yesterday there
can be no new Daughter of the Confed-
eracy." The general said:
Miss Winnie Davis was the only daugh-
ter of President Davis, born in the Con-
federate White House during the life of
the Confederacy. AS Jefferson Davis was
the only president of the Confederate
government, no daughter of any other
officer could truly represent the Confed-
eracy For that reason it would not be
appropriate to call even the daughter of
Gen Robert, f. Lee the Daughter of the
Confederacy. To designate anyone else
as Daughter of the Confederacy' would
not only be inappropriate and meaning
less, but would deprive the title of all
its value
AS With jefferson Davis passed the
title of president of the Confederacy, so
with Miss Winnie has passed the title of
Daughter of the Confederacy.
Miss Caroline Gordon, a daughter of
Gen. Gordon, prominently suggested as
the new Daughter of the Confederacy,"
has given out a statement, in which she
says:
While approaching deeply the compli-
ment paid to my father in the suggestion
by some of his friends in Richmond that
/ should succeed Miss Winnie Davis as
the Daughter of the Confederacy,' I feel
that no one else can wear that title since
her death"
Gen. Peter MacGlashan, president of the
Confederate Veterans Association of Sa-
vannah, is very emphatic in his state
ment that Miss Hin will never be known
as the Daughter of the Confederacy."
Neither she, nor any other woman can
assume that title he wired today.
There was but one Daughter of the
Confederacy, and she is dead With vet
Grams this is not trivial matter. ] am
astonished to see the statement of Miss
Hill that she is entitled to the name
Daughter of the Confederacy' Certain
ly she should not expect 1t.

PURSUES His ERRING Wife
The Bride of the KlOndike"
Flees to Europe.
TAKES HER HUSBANDS GOLD
Mrs. Charles Van Alstine Engages
Passage Under an Assumed Name
on the TrsnsatIantic liner Ma
jestic-Mr. Van AIstine Follows on
the lmbria.

New York. Oct. 1.-The mystery sur
rounding the disappearance of Mrs.
Charles Van Alstine. the Bride of the
Kiondike," who walked out of St. Marks
Hospital last week, has been solved. Mrs.
Van Alstine is passenger, under an as
sumed name, on the White Star line
steamer Majestic. which is due to arrive
a Liverpool today.
Ploughing the ocean only three days
behind the Majestic is the steamer Um-
bria, of the Cunard line, which left New
York last Saturday, just three days later
than the Majestic, and which is due to
arrive two days later than the White
Star ship. Pacing the deck of the Um-
bria is the tall, weather beaten miner
who made Mrs. Van Alstine his wife
three months ago and intrusted her with
the proceeds of his labors in the god
fields of the Klondike.
When Van Alstine learned of her de-
parture he at first feared that some mis-
fortune had befallen her. He sought the
advice of the few friends he had met here
and was advised by them to submit the
case to a detective agency Through the
L
case, with full power to do everything, To
spare no expense, and offered reward
of So 0C0 if the woman was found and the
money recovered, he was able to ascer-
tain the woman and obtained under an
assumed name a stateroom on the Ma
iestic and had sailed on that ship on
September q.
Then it was decided that Van Alstine
should follow the woman, while her de-
scription would be sent to the agency S
office in London. and she would be fol-
lowed from the time she left the ship
until he arrived. 1t had been learned
that Mrs. Van Aistine had succeeded in
cashing the drafts which were made out
In her name by sending them to Seattle
and that the money had been forwarded
to her by express.
Van Alstine had stern, determined
look on his face when he stood on the
deck of the Umbria last Saturday, and
he wore an expression that boded no
good to the woman to whom he had CIV
en- his name should he catch up with
her when his steamer reaches South
/ ampton. He carried in his hand small
bag. which was filed to the brim with
gold nuggets, and besides had in his
money belt $4,000 in gold certificates with
which to conduct the search for his err
ing wife.
The greatest mystery has been wrapped
about the case, both by the detective bu-
reau and by the agency which has been
| conducting the investigation. 1t is well
known to them that proceedings against
| the woman for taking the money which
was placed in her name by her husband
| cannot be taken, and that unless she
willingly or is forced Ito disgorge, moth
ing can be done to her.
Van Alstine is still a rich man, own
| ing several valuable claims in the Klon-
dixie. several of which he has defended
at the point of a pistol, but he stated
! before his departure that she will have
| to give up half of the money she took
| from him. The other half he says she
| can have in lieu of alimony.

From Benjamin Franklin.l
when you are sick, what you like
best is to be chosen for a medicine in tho
first place; what experience tells you is
best, to be chosen in the second place:
what reason q. e., Theory says is best is
to be chosen in the last place. But if you
can get DR.. Inclination DR.. Experience
and DR.. Reason to hold a consultation to-
gether, they will give you the best ad-
vice that can be taken"
When you shave a bad cold DIR. Inclina-

Cough Remedy. because it is pleasant and
safe to take. DIR. Experience would rec
