Many Hardships Endured by the
Crew of the Mildred.

New York. Dec. S.-Within a. short
sailing distance of this port and twice
beaten back after a, two months voy-
age, was the story told by the little
schooner Mildred, which has arrived
here ffty-six days out from San Bias,
Central America, with a cargo of CO.
coanuts.- The crew was forced to use
cocoanut milk in place of water, the
meat for food and the shells for hre.
Captain Tibbett, of the schooner, said
as he landed: Thank God it is all
over now. I never expected to get IN
here alive
age given by the captain the Mildred,

tie schooner, out of provisions and with
the crew exhausted and discouraged,
arrived off Cape May. There she fell
in with the pilot boat Philadelphia
which supplied her with provisions and
water. For a number of days the pro-
visions and water on the Mildred had
been exhausted and the men had lived
on the cocoanuts. The shells, as well
as some of the wood work Of the ship,
were burned in the galley fire, in order

of a series of storms.
The little food furnished to the crew

INSULTEO BY A NEGRO.
Was an Atlanta Mans Reason for
Killing Himself

Atlanta. Ga. Dec Sat a coroner's
inquest held today over the remains of
William A. Barbour, custodian of the
custom house and postoffice, who suici-
ded in the presence of his wife, Mrs.
Barbour created a sensation by swear
ing that her husband was driven to sui
eide by the torment of Internal Reeve
nue. Collector H. A. Rucker, a negro,
who was in authority over her husband
in the custom house.
My husband came home frequently"
said Mrs. aBrbOur, almost crazy be-
cause Rucker was using eveEy means
to force him to resign so that Rucker
could fill the place by appointing a ne
gro. My husband came nome Tuesday
night weeping like a child, declaring
that he had been insulted by Rucker
in the presence of negroes. He then
picked up his pistol and said: It's hill
at the postofice,' and then he shot
himself through the heart, crying as he
fell: That niger is responsible for all
of this -
Rucker is one of the most prominent
negro politicians in the south and has
frequently held Office under the Repub-
Hcan administration. He denies that
he tried to force Barbour'S resignation.

The condition of the road was not
known to Mr.. C1eveland's driver. After
going a short distance the carriage
stuck and the horse was unable to
move it.

dent to the driver ''Then perhaps the
horse will be able to haul out the car

Mr.. Cleveland got out in the mud in
his patent-leather shoes and made his
way to high ground.
But even then the horse was unequal
to the task. 1t strained and yanked,
but the mud chung to the wheels and
held the vehicle as fast as if it had
been clamped to the earth.
It's no use" said the driver after he
had urged the horse to renewed efforts
until his throat was sore and his arms
lame, the horse amt strong enough to
do it."
Mr.Cleveland looked around, but there
was no house in sight. He knew that
before help could arrive night would
be on. In addition the rain fell and
the downpour was increasing every
minute.
The driver was about to get off the
seat when Mr.. Cleveland cried, Hold
on, let me see If can't help the horse"
you'll be covered with mud said
the driver.
THAT doesn't matter" replied Mr.
Cleveland, ''thatll come off. I want to
get home before it rains any harder"
Then he pulled off his overcoat, and
stepping out into the mire went around
to the rear of the carriage. GraspinG
the spOkes of a hind wheel he placed
his shoulders to the tire and said, Now,
John, start up.'

SHE ATE NOVELS.
Strange Taste of Queerly Afflicted
Young Lady.

Lynn Mass, Dec. "a most peculiar
case has come to the attention of the med
zeal fraternity of this city. 1t is the de-
velOpment of a disease known as chlorOsis
and the symptoms shown in this case are
considered extraordinary. The name of
the young woman patient is withheld.
Craving for something to eat has
brought her to the verge of the grave.
Today-she ate an entire pound of raw cof-
fee, and this has assisted in developing
the disease to the danger point. Not only
has coffee been consumed in dangerous
quantities. but during the past two weeks
- novels have actually been eaten by her.
The young woman has always been a
great reader of novels with a romantic
tendency, and while she was sick at home
she had been furnished with fifteen stories.
The books have disappeared entirely, and
she said that as soon as she read a leaf
she ate it, swallowing the paper, printing
and all.
Shoemaker's wax and articles of a pc
culiar taste have been eaten by the pa
tent in such quantities during the past
three weeks that there are grave fears she
will die.

DR.. WURTH'S OPINION
OF THE NEW DIsCoTERY IN
MEDICINE.
A Remarkably Successful Remedy for
Dyspepsia, Indigestion and Stom-
ach Troubles.

DR.. Wurth in commenting on recent
discoveries in medicine said: There is
none which is certain to be so valuable
and far reaching in benefit as Stuart's
Dyspepsia Tablets, the new stomach
remedy; I say far reaching, because
people little realize how important
sound stomach and vigorous digestion
is to every man, woman and child.
Indigestion is the starting point of
consumption, heart disease. Bright's dis
ease, diabetes, nervous prostration, liv-
er troubles; why is this so? Simply be-
cause every nerve, muscle and tissue in
our bodies is created and nourished
from the food we eat. If that food is.
by reason of a weak stomach, compelled
to lie for hours, a sour, fermenting
mass of half digested food, it poisons
the blood and nervous system, creates
gas which distends the stomach and
bowels, causing pressure on the heart.
lungs and other organs, and seriously
impeding their action.
He says further, the point to direct
attention is not the nerves, nor heart,
nor lungs, nor kidneys, but the stomach,
the first cause of all the mischief.
The remedy to use for indigestion and
weak stomach is not some cathartic,
but a remedy which will digest the
food, increase the flow of gastric juice
absorb the gases, and Stuart's Dyspep-
STA Ia blets will accomplish exactly this
result in any case of stomach trouble,
because these tablets are composed of
the digestive acids. aseptic pepsin Col
den Seal and bismuth, pleasant to
taste, and not being a patent medicine,
can be used by anyone with perfect
safety. I believe Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets will cure any form of indiges-
ton and stomach trouble except cancer
of stomach.

pepsia Tablets are sold by druggists at

ach diseases together with thousands

KILLED HIMSELF RUNNING.
Fearing He Would Miss the Train,
Young Frost Forgot His Ply
sician's Advice.

Trenton, Dec. 9.-Over-exertion in
running to catch train caused nine
teen year old Edward Frost's death
yesterday. The young man had been
out Of employment and yesterday he
received word from a friend in Phila-
delphia that a place was open for him
there.
Packing his belongings, Frost started
for the Clinton street station. He heard
the whistle of a locomotive and suppos-
ing it was the train he was hurrying
to catch he started to run.
Suddenly he felt something snap in
the lower part of his back and he fell
fainting and bleeding from bursted
tumor near the base of the spinal col
umn. He was taken to St Francis
hospital. An hour later he died.
He regained consciousness shortly be-
fore his death and told the doctors he
had been troubled with the tumOr some
time and that a physician told him it
could not be successfully operated up
on and would eventually cause death.
He also advised the young man to re-
frain from oVer-exertiOn.
I forgot what the doctor told me-
whispered the unfortunate young man
to his white haired mother as she knelt
by his bedside.
