ENGLISH NAVAL MOVEMEN rs. :. :.

Halifax, March 20.--The swift torpedo
destroyer Rocket has Just been ordered to
thisss station from England and VIII ar
rivo here shortly. The announcement OF
her coming has caused much comment in
naval circles.
The cruiser Indefatigabie is also ex-
peoted to arrive here very soon, coming
from the West Indies at least two months
ahead of the date at which the British
Northern squadron returns from its
winter cruise 1t is said the Indefatagn-
Bile is coming in order to arrange the
warship noorings in the harbor and put
down new ones.
But that is work that could be per-
formed without her presence here. The
naval officers in Halifax seem to expect
unusual activity on this station very
soon. Some regard 1t as due to the mod
ern ideas of Admiral John Fisher, while
others think the crisis i'll the trouble
between the United States and Spain may
have something to do with the present
movements.

Havana, March 2O.-Little work was

Inent was cheered to the echo, but there
were no sensational features. The pro-

that they will amount to between $780,

were too large. Even with the enormoua
prices paid for boxes and seats it was

hoped by some.

Arabian Woman Gives Birth To
Chilli In Snow Bank.
THEN MURDERS THE INFANT WITH
PAIR OF SCISSORS.

Had Previously Been Refused Admittance
to House Where She Sought shelter
Body of Child Found in Out House
Sympathy Shown for Woman.
Augusta, March 2O.-Amanda Joseph
of Bangor, an Arabian pack peddlar,
was arrested by Deputy Sheriff j. +.
Bean of Augusta at Windsor, today,
charged with the murder of her newly
born baby at South Vassalboro, Friday.
She admits the child was hers, but claims
that it was born dead. An autopsy on
tho remain shows that the child was
killed by pair of shears or some other
sharp instrument being thrust into the
throat in four different places Ths
woman was brought here and lodged in
the county jail, to wait the action of the
grand jury, pext month. A pair of shears
were found in the woman S pack with
stains supposed to be blood on them. ssThe
remains of the child are in charge of the
county physician, DR.. Burt Andrews,
who performed the autopsy.
The woman Friday morning, called at
the house of Selectman Warren in South
Vassalboro, asking to be given shelter, as
she was sick. Mrs. Warren, fearing that
it was only pretense to gain admission
to the house, refused her. Mr.. Warren on
being informed, followed the woman,
finding her behind schoolhouse not far
sway, and asked her if she needed as
sistance. She declined the offer and he
returned home. Feeling uneasy about the
woman, he again went to the schoo,house,
and although the woman had disappeared,
he found blood on the snow. He made
search and in the vault of an clubhouse
found the body of a newly born female
child, with evidence OF death by violence.
He notified the Augusta coroner, and
the investigation and arrest followed.
The woman after leaving the school
house, tramped miles in the deep, wet
snow, carrying her two packs, weighing
about so pounds. She stoppedxat the
house of Mrs. Adams on the South China
road, where, on account of her bsdraggled
condition and evident suffering, she was
given food and nights lodging
Then, in pouring rain, Saturday, she
tramped along to South China and Wind
sor, where she stopped at Henry Tasker's
for dinner and to Warren SIMPSONS,
where she sought shelter. She was wet
to the skin and was given shelter. She
displayed great nerve for on being told
that murdered child had been found,
sheEsaid:
ooh, that's too bad," but made no
sign that she knew anything about it.
In fact the Sampson's doubted her guilt
until she admitted to the officer that 1t
was her child. Great sympathy is shown
for the woman because, after being re-
fused admission to house when ill,
alone in winter, in a foreign country,
anG with nothing with which to clothe
or provide for the child, probably ignor-
ance and simplicity alone prompted the
deed. She manifested great affection for
the Simpsons g who sheltered and fed her.
The case has caused much excitement
through the country towns of Vassalboro
and Windsor and in this city.

The Kidney Complexion.

The pale, sallow, snnken-cheeked, dis
tressed- looking people you SO etten meet
are afflicted with kidney Complexion.
Their kidneys are turning to a parsnip
color. So is their complexion.
They may also have Indigestion, or suf
fer from sleeplessness, rheumatism, neu-
ralgia, brain trouble, nervous exhaustion
and sometimes the heart acts badly.
The cause is weak unhealthy kidneys.
Usually the sufferer from kidney dis
ease does not find out what the trouble is
until it is almost too late, because the first
symptoms are SO like mild sickness that
they do not think they need medicine or
a doctor until they find themselves sick in
bed.

and strengthen their weak and diseased
kidneys, purify thsir diseased, kidney
