A Remarkable Case.

The following case was printed originally
In The Monitor, newspaper published at
Meaford, Ontario. Doubts were raised as
to it's truthtulness. consequently close
watch was kept on the case for two years
and the original statement has now been
completely verified.
Mr.. Petch had been hopeless psralytic
for five years. His case has had wide at
tention. He WAS confined to his bed, was
bloated almost beyond recognition. and
could not take solid food. Doctors called
the disease spinal sclerosls and all said he

A DIPLOMATIC BOUNCER.
Unique Position Held by Eddie Savoy In the
State Department at Washington.

State Department at Washington.
Zone of the most interesting charac-
ters in the Government service" said
an official Of the State Department, at
Washington, lis Eddie Savoy, the col
ored messenger of the assistant secre-
tary of state. He has been employed
in that department for the past p
years and is thoroughly imbued with
all it's customs and traditions. A per-
feet diplomat in his way, he never
sees anything he should not see nor
knows anything it Is not intended he
should know. At least that is how he
impresses the people who do business
with him-his superiorsas well as those
desiring to communicate with them.
His position is strictly confidential
one, and fl luently puts him in possess
sion of hi ~ important state secrets,
the prem e disclosure Of which, In
several It instances would have
seriously arrassed the Government.
But neve ince he first entered the
foreign Of e., back in the administra-
ton of Sc rctary Fish, when the State
Departme1. was located in the build
Ing at the corner of 14th and S streets,
now used by the orphan asylum, has
he been known to betray trust or to
tell anything whatever about the az
fairs of the State Department that he
was not personally authorized to tell.
am reminded of this by the impor-
tant part he played In the events at
tending the recall Of Sackville West,
the British minister, during Cleveland's
first administration, as well as those
in the more recent case of Senor Polo,
the Spanish minister. He acted as the
trusted messenger between the secre-
tary Of State and the foreign minister
in both cases. Secretary Bayard Sc
lected him to personally hand Mr..
Sackville West his passports and Sec
retary Day confided to him the import
ant duty of handing to Senor Polo, first,
President McKinley's ultimatum TO
the Spanish Government for the eyacu-
alton Of Cuba, and next the official pa
pers insuring him safe conduct out OF
the territory of the United States. Ed
die, as he is familiarly called, was full
ly impressed with the Importance of
these missions and adopted a simple
but shrewd method to satisfy the head
of the department Of their successful
execution. When he handed Minister
West the package containing his pass
ports, he asked him as favor to show
that they had been properly delivered
that he write his autograph on the Of
fetal envelope and give it to him. Mr..
West did as requested, and Eddie took
the envelope with it's autographic in
dorsement and broken seal back to
the department and showed it to Mr..
Bayard. He followed exactly the same
course with equal success in delivering
the ultimatum to Minister Polo The
two envelopes are now 'Eddies' pri-
vate property, having been presented
to him by Secretaries Bayard and Day,
and are treasured by him as relics of
important events in the diplomatic his
tory of the United States

match the lace Mt the bottom, and an
other flounce to match nine inches

the first, and two rosette loops give
the finish where they are joined to the
belt at the back. The belt is of mar

Flies Killed by Wasps.

anything in derogation of the wasp
and his heated terminal facilities, We
trust that it will be considered rs

or anything that will kill 1000 flies in
a single day is worthy of all praise, and

Missoula. Aug. 6.-Through al excel

the deceased, the identity OF the un-
known man found drowned on the up
per Blackfoot a few days since has been
ascertained to an almost certainty, the
circumstances connected with the

time Of his death. a native OF Ontario,
Canada, and resided in Montana o
three years. He was a eamster by oc-
cupation and was employed at Dunnl-

brought to light the present discovery.
Fred Mcdonald of Butte, a cousin to
deceased, noticed the Standards report
of the occurrence and knowing that
Cameron was employed In the vicinity
Of Ovando, surmised the drowned man
to be his relative, and who became more
impressed with the belief as lime wore
on from the fact that correspondence
from him. which heretofore had been
quite regular, suddenly ceased. McDon

stances to - Cameron, a brother TO
