there is still a great many who have
not taken advantage of our generous
offer. Therefore, you may say that we
will send a free sample treatment to all
who send US a description of their case
and mention the name of your paper.
The following are two testimonials re-
ceived unsolicited by US:

NICARAGUA ROAD SOLD.
English Owners of a Steamship Line
the Buyers.

New York, April 11.-Advices from
Managua, Nicaragua, say that Nicar-
auga has sold her railroad. The buy
ers are the English owners of the Atlas
line, which runs steamships between
New York and Colon, Greytown and
other central and southern American
ports. Negotiations for this purchase
were begun a year ago, and final papers
have been written there.
The railroad is in two sections, which
are links in a direct line between the
Atlantic and Pacific-a line which may
soon become active rival of the
Panama railroad and the Pacific Mail
Steamship companies. In connection
with this enterprise is the establishment
Of the Chilean line of steamships, which
are to run from Valparaiso in Chile to
San Francisco, stopping at all inter
mediate ports. Two steamships lately
launched in the Clyde are on their way
to go into service in this route. The
western section of the Nicaragua rail-
road extends from Corinto on the Pa
cific coast through the broad and fertile
valley which has a mean altitude OF
scarcely more than one hundred feet,
and no part of the road crosses NIL
high enough to be regarded as a diff

KLONDIKE MAD.
Many Australians Leave Good Places
to Try Their Luck.

Honolulu, via San Francisco, April II:
Two hundred and forty Klondike gold
seekers from Australia arrived here
yesterday on the British steamer Cape
Otway. They will stay here until about
April Is, to have repairs made to the
vessel. They report the colonies wild,
over the Klondike. They were per-
suaded to go by an advertisement
which was headed: "KIondike, the gold
en- country; 900 square miles of
gold" They say many persons in good
positions are selling out at a sacrifice
to join in the gold rush. Among the
passengers are ten women. One wo-
man left six children at home. Another
carries her 4-year-old boy and canary
in a cage. All say they are going
through to Dawson, and all hope to
marry some lucky miner who has
struck it rich.
Honolulu is alive with Klondikers,
who attract attention here, as they are
dressed in heavy clothing. The royal
mail steamer Miowera passed through
two days ago with 40 Klondilxers, and
the Oceanic liner Alameda has a large
party aboard.

al Ill Broadway today created some COM

guesses were hazarded to his reason for
being there. All doubts were set at rest
when Auctioneer Peter F. Meyer offered
for sale the four-story brick dwelling, Is
West Ninety-third street, and after some
sharp competition it was knocked down to
Mr.. Sage for 81. 275.
Mr.. Sage afterward explained that he
was only acting in behalf of the Woman s
hospital, an institution of which Mr.. John
E. Parsons is the head, and in the sue
ceSSful conduct of which Mrs. Sage was
deeply interested. Mr.. Sage added that
the lot had been purchased because it was
in the market for sale, and it was de-
sired to protect the hospital property
against a possible undesirable improves
ment.
