gone nearly five minutes and could wait
no longer. On rushing into the room
found Pitman there in bed. I told him

door and grabbed for her clothing, which
was hanging underneath his.
There was a big butcher knife on the
table, belonging, I suppose, to Pitman. T

FREE TO MILLIONS.
A Valuable Little Book Sent Free for
the Asking.

Medical books are not always inter-
esting reading, especially to people en-
joying good health, but as matter of
fact, scarcely one person in ten is per-
fectly healthy, and even with such
sooner or later sickness must come.
It is also a well-esta blished truth that
nine-tenths of all diseases originate
with a breaking down of the digestion,
a weak stomach Weakens and impOv-
eriSheS the system, making 1t easy for
disease to gain a foOthold-
Nobody need fear consumption, kid
ney disease, liver trouble or weak heart
and nervous system as long as the di-
gestion is good and the stomach able to
assimilate plenty of wholesome food.
Stomach weakness shows itself in a
score of ways and this little book de-
scribes the symptoms and causes and
points the way to cure SO simple that
anyone can understand and apply.
Thousands have some form of StOm-
ach trouble and do not know it. They
ascribe the headaches, the languOr, ner-
VOusness, insomnia, palpitatiOn, cOnSti-
patton and similar symptoms to some
other cause than the true one. Get
your digestion on the right track and
the heart trouble, lung trouble, liver
disease or nervous debility will rapidly
disappear.
This little book treats entirely on the
cause and removal of indigestion and
its accompanying annoyances.
It describes the symptoms of Acid
Dyspepsia, Nervous Dyspepsia, Slow
Dyspepsia. AInylaceOuS dyspepsia, Ca
tarrh of Stomach and all affections of
the digestive organs in plain language
easily understood and the cause re-
moved.
It gives valuable suggestions as to
diet, and contains a table giving length

ticles of food, something every person
with weak digestion should know.

DISCOVERY MAGNIFIED.
Found Only How to Correct Nature in
Certain Cases-Hundreds of Won-
en- Who Desire Sons.

London, Feb. At can easily be be-
lieved that DR.. Schenk's complaint that
his life has been made miserable since
the announcement that he had discOv-
cred the secret of sex is perfectly true.
He denies a multitude of interviews
credited to him, and now gives a very
modest version of his alleged discovery.
He says;
Il believe that after long research I
can, to a certain extent, correct nature
in the case of a woman who has become
the mother of five or six girls in success
sion. I informed my pupils of my OBJ
servations, the matter was noised
abroad. and the newspapers hastily
concluded that a great discovery had
been made.
such is not the case. I believe am
able to correct nature in certain excep-
tional cases. That is all. My researches
will form the subject of a cOmmunica-
ton to different academies of medicine,
but 1 do not expect to make this report
for a year yet, as my work is not COM
pleted."

ters daily from women in all parts OF

Sufferings of Two Men Who Got

the result of exposure to the bitter cold
northwest gale which swept over the
Kill van Kun yesterday morning, and
his companion thoroughly exhausted
nv his struggle for life, drifted into Ma
riner's harbor. S. l., yesterday, and was
found there by Policeman Messenger
The dead man was Joseph Blank, who
lived with his family at 40 second
street Eliza bethpOrt, and his compan-
ion was Alfred D Dixon of Geneva

at the Smith infirmary. He says they
were out looking for driftWOOd. W men
Messenger found them Blanks body
was hanging over the gunwale. Dixon
could barely speak. He was in state
of collapse, and would have died had he
remained exposed to the cold much
longer. Blanks body was frozen stiff,
and his clothing were sheeted in ice
Yesterday afternoon Dixon was not
able to speak without great effort. HIS
story is as follows:
I'VE left izabethpOrt early in the
morning. We had an oyster skin that
would carry about two tons. 1t was
blowing pretty hard, but was not very
cold. and fine snow was falling. It
was our intention to get driftwood
Some wood we had already found was
on a spile driver on the Jersey shore,
and we were making for it. After we
started we found that the gale was too
much for US. The wind was terrible,
and our boat shipped water all the time.
We made up our minds that it was no
use trying to get anywhere. Then we
got lost in the SnoWStOrm. We shout
ed in vain. The water came in over
the rail, and we got soaking wet. We
were exhausted by rowing. We tried
to keep the boats head up to the wind.
for we knew that if she filed we would
be dead men. The wind got worse and
the snow thicker, and I don't know how
long we were rowing. Blank fell into
the bottom of the boat once. I picked
him up and told him to brace up and we
would be all right. / don't remember
his having fallen the second time, and
don't remember his hanging over the

What do you want with two new
houses there?" he was asked.
I'VE have always had two there, and
we need them in our business. They

Aeronaut Claims to Have Solved the
Problem of Aerial Navigation.

Muncie, Feb. 2-Prof. Clarence Bald
win, an aeronaut, who has been making
this city his headquarters for the past
several years, announces that he has
successfully contrived, after years of
work, an air ship that will actually sail
and navigate the atmosphere, at Dali
ton, several miles southeast of this city,
and that he will make his first public
trial trip, starting from this city March
1st
The ship is made of sheet and tubeI-
Gus aluminium throughout and is a shell
so feet long, % feet in diameter through
the center. The sheet covering is one
siXty-fourth of an inch in thickness.
The buoyancy is obtained by gas filing
this she'll The motive power is a gas
engine connecting with propeller and
rudder at the stern of the shell. Three
wings on the sides assist in the locomo-
ton of the ship, and are arranged to
strike the wind like knife
so that there will be no resistance. Prof
Baldwin claims his ship is a reality,
and not myth, and that when he gives
the word Let her go" in this city the
first of March, his aerial vessel will ac-
complish a speed of not less than so
miles an hour.

Maryland Fruit Growers to Fight De-
structive Insects

Baltimore, Md, Feb. "A convention
of fruit growers from all parts of the
state was held here today and a perma-
nent organization formed, to be known
as the Maryland State Horticultural
society.
Charles Biggs of Washington county
was elected president. The committee
on legislation has prepared a bill pro-
viding for an appropriation of $4,000
for the determination of two pests that
threaten the fruit crop-the San Jose
scale and peach yellows.
1t is estimated by the fruit men that
$40 600 will be needed for this work the
first year, and smaller amount each
year afterward. If this is not granted
there is little hope of preventing the
spread of the pests over the state.
