CHRONIC RHEUMATISM.
A Malady That Makes Life Almost
Unbearable,

From The News, Jackson. U. s. A.
The subject of this sketch is fifty-six
years of age, and actively engaged In
farming. When II years old he hurt
his shoulder, and a few years after
commenced to have rheumatic pains
in it. On taking a slight cold or the
least strain, sometimes without any
apparent cause whatever, the trouble
would start and he would suffer the
most excruciating pains.
He suffered for over thirty years,
and the last decade has suffered so
much that he was unable to do any
work. To this the frequent occur
rences OF dizzy spells were added, max
ing him almost helpless invalid.
He tried the best physicians but
without being benefited and has used
several specific rheumatic cures, but
was not helped. About one year and
six months ago he read in this paper
OF case somewhat similar to his
which was cured by Dr. Williams Pink
Pills and concluded to try this remedy.
After taking the flrst box he felt
somewhat better, and after using three
boxes, the pains entirely disappeared,
the dizziness entirely left him, and he
has now for over a year been entirely
free from all his former trouble and
enjoys better health than he has had
since his boyhood.
All the elements necessary to- give
new life and richness to the blood and
restore shattered nerves, are contained
in a condensed form in DR.. Williams
Pink Pills for Pale People.

ment at Washington and the Naval
Academy informed of their movements.
Professor Marion, who had charge of
the birds at the Naval Academy. soon
demonstrated the value of their SER
vice.
For the past two years the most nc
tive training has been going on, and
when the cote at Key West was estab-
lished, Lieutenant Harlow was placed
in charge OF 1t. AS soon as active hos
tilities were expected to break out be-
tween the United States country and
Spain the Navy Department immedi-
ately made inquiries about the pigeon
service and found that large number
Of rapid, accurate pigeons could be
placed at it's disposal. The birds were
taken to Key West, which Is only nine
ty miles from Havana. and located In
Lieutenant Harlow's cote there. They
were taken out from this cote to sea
and released time and again and always
with the greatest success. Scarcely
ever did pigeon fail to return to
it's home. In the torpedo flotilla which
was equipped to match SPANS fiotilla
means were provided on every boat for
the accommodation of the Homing
Pigeons.
1t is asserted that the Navy Depart
ment will use 10000 Homing Pigeons
for service during the present war with
Spain, to carry messages from the fleets
to stations on shore. The Manhattan
Homing Pigeon Club has loaned the
government 1000 of their birds for this
purpose.
A cote for Homing Pigeons was out
aboard the U. s. Flag Ship New York
a few days before her departure from
the New York Navy Yard, and stocked
with twelve OF the best birds bred al
the New York Loft. These birds are
to be used by Admiral Sampson ir

A RACING SCANDAL
Charge That the Jockey
Opiopio Was Bribed.
The Boy Makes an Affidavit
Owner Of Antidote Had
Suspicious.

There were special meetings of the
Executive Committee Of the Hawaiian
Jockey Club yesterday in the forenoon
and again in the afternoon. There had
been presented by Mr.. VIM. Wolters a
matter which required attention. This
was the affidavit Of Jockey Opiopio
concerning certain races on the Fourth
Of July. Opiopio swears that he was
threatened violence and paid $40 be-
sides to pull the running horse An
tidote in two races. These events were
the mile, won by Amarino and the
mile and a quarter, won by Sympa-
thetic's Last. Opiopio has been rider
OF good horses here for a number Of
years and it is said that he has always
had the confidence of his employers,
though he has been known to go on
sprees just at the wrong time. On a
number of occasions Opiopio has at
tracted attention by having sort OF
a faintIng spell after coming In first
with his mount. The grave charge
made in the affidavit is laid against
Bullman, the boy who came here from
the coast lately to ride. pullman il
quite young, but is very good Jockey
He has first class reputation in Sar
Francisco for straight riding and hon
est behavior. Bullman denies that HI
made any approaches to OpiopiO othei
than to Josh" him and says the state
ment that he fixed" two races for 81
is absurd on the face of it. He point!
to the betting as showing that ther,
was nothing wrong.
The owner of Antidote says that h
suspected something was wrong II

One thing represented is that the stir
rups were bent from pulling" Mr.
VOTERS says that he does not care TO
entrance fees or purses, but that h
wants fair racing or he will have moth
ing whatever to do with 1t in any way
Dick" Davis, in whose name Am
ar.no ran, Indignantly contradicts an.
such story as Opiopio tells and for on
thing points to the fast time in whicl
the mile was made. Mr.. Schuman
whose horse won the mile and quar-
ter, says he knows nothing of any re
ported "jobbing."
Mr. Davis sends the following to tn
Advertiser for publications:

HOMING PIGEONS IN WAR.
Important Messenger Service Es.
tablished on Ships.


tablished on Ships.
The Homing Pigeon will play an i'm
portant part in the present war with
Spain, says The Feather. These wing
ed messengers are enlisted in the mes
senger service of Uncle Sam. and i'm
portant, indeed, will be the duty as
signed to them. There will be no
more efficient work in the service Of
the navy than the flights Of the Homing
Pigeon. For several years expert
ments have been made with Homing
Pigeons as naval messengers with re-
markable success, and now that there
is need for the pigeons, it is found that
the navy has at its disposal more than
500 Of the fleetest little messengers
ever placed at the call Of a country.
The organization Of the messenger
pigeon service for use in time Of war
began with Professor Marion. Of the
Naval Academy at Annapolis, Md.
Lieutenant Harlow, U. s. N, also be-
gan active experiments with the birds
some two years ago, and to these two
gentlemen is due the credit which now
attaches itself to the pigeon service Of
the navy.
An efficient messenger pigeon SER
vice could be obtained by having sta
lions at Bar Harbor, Portsmouth, Cha
than, Newport, New York, Delaware
Bay, Norfolk, Beaufort. N. c., Port
Royal. st. Augustine. Jupiter Inlet,
Key West, Tampa, Pensacola, Port
Eads and Galveston. By this system
a ship would be within range of a
pigeon station from any position along
the coast. Some of the above stations
have already been established, and the
others are now in contemplation.
The first practical use to which the
birds were put was on the Aagships Of
the Naval Academy of the coast. They
carried out with them Homing Pigeons
which were released and sent to tn,
Navy Department. In this way thu
boats at sea kept the Navy Depart

Santiago de Cuba, Aug 26.-Impor-
tant changes in the civil government
relating to schools, police, customs and
mercantile and harbor regulations are
in process of preparation by Generals
Lawton and Wood, and proclamation
carrying them into effect will probably
be issued in a few days. The police
force is to be increased with a view OF
enabling the withdrawal of the military
from patrol duty. The changes will aid
the shipping, mercantile and Industrial
classes. The port dues and salaries of
many civil. ecclesiastical and provin-
cial officers will be reduced. The sal
airy of Archbishop Crespo, which was
formerly $4,000, will be reduced to
$4,000. The proposed changes meet with
the approval of the better classes.
