IT'S WONDERFUL.

A REPORTER SPENDS AN INTERESTING HOUR.
ONE CASE IN WHICH MODERN SCIENCE
APPEARS To HAVE ATTAINED PERFEC-
TON.
Having heard much recently of the famous
remedy, Dodds Kidney Pills, aud their many start
ling cures, reporter called at the office OF the
odds Medicine Co. in search of information the
subject 1t has been reported that the company
almost overwhelmed with letters from thou
sand of people who have been snatched from suf-
fering and death by those wonderful pills, aud who
expressed in letters to the company their graf
itude for the succor afforded them The reporter
was bent upon ascertaining whether not this re-
port exaggerated.
The scribe hav wing stated his oh iect in calling
manager drew from his desk bundle of letters so
large that the reporter wondered how time found
to read them all. perusal of several showed that
the facts had not been exaggerated, had in fact,
nor been half told. There we're letters from all over
the land, from New York TO san Francisco, from
the frozen winds of northern Canada 10 the sunny
cline of Florida And they all overlooked with the
warnest gratitude messages of thanks and blessings
II was an profitable hour the scribe spent looking
these letters telling of lives saved and suffering
ended everywhere by the of Dodd's Kidney Pills
One in particular touched his heart IL written
by James A. Ellis of Saginaw. telling how he had sat
by the bedside of his dear expecting every hour
that death would claim his precious boy, whom all
the best doctors had given up to die of Brights dis
ease; of how someone suggested trying Dodd's Kid
ney Pills and how they saved his sons life. The
etter poured out the richest blessing from heart
overfowing with gratitude.
Another short letter from Mrs. Phillip Weber, of
Boseou, n. Y, spoke for itself Mrs. Weber wrote
"Dodd's Kidney Pills have been blessing to me.
have no pain or backache now, aud rest we'll al
night, for which thank God. l enclose so cents
for another box.
The reporter came away convinced that there was
never another remedy on earth that had done so
much for humanity az have Dodd's Kidney pills.

profit Of $24. 900 per month. Business
just now is poor. however, owing to the
fact that most of the miners are at their
cabins up the gulch. and the moneyed
men from the outside have taken their
departure for home again. The opera
house will be rebuilt again in time for
the spring trade, which is best after the
clean mp begins. 1t is expected that this
will be wild town then.
Whisky Is likely to be scarce in the
meantime, as much was lost in the fires.
However, men are starting with dog
trains for the outside, intending to bring
a new supply as far as the foot of Lake
La Barge on the ice and follow the first
ice down in the spring. 1t is hoped that
food supplies will be brought in in the
same way, although it is not at all GER
tain that they will command a price
high enough to return profit on the
outlay.
Better transportation facilities are
badly needed here, and the consensus of
opinion among the mine owners is that
a transportation company would make
prospectors in the spring as is expected,
there certainly will be great shortage
in supplies again, and starvation seems
imminent unless better facilities for
getting food into the country are adopt
ed than those now in USE
There is much feeling here relative to
the action of the Dominion government
in having amended the mining laws so
as TO reduce the size of claims and to
impose tax on the output of the mines.
Certain il is that few of the mines
even the richest here-would pay for
the working if 90 per cent royalty is
exacted. The miners chamber of com
MERGE, which was organized for the
purpose, is sending commission out,
one member of which-Mr. Livernash
will carry this letter. The con mission
will present a resolution on the subject
before the house v il assemblies in
February.

1t is good old saying and a true one

times by INSCRIPTIONS claims made for
selfish means of profit, they look for
something more substantial: they ask for

three looms to each dwelling The same
distribution of looms is observed in the

AS mostly children of from Z to 16

GOLD DEMOCRATS.

Outlined.

The Course They Will Probably Pursue
Outlined.
The extent to which the senators who
had been known as gold Democrats
voted with their Democratic compeers
of the silver money stripe in the late
contest over that subject was unlocked
for. 1t does not follow that when the
contest for the next presidency comes
the Democratic party will be better able
to carry it for free silver than they were
in 1896. II that party takes the same
positive attitude for free silver in 1900
that il did at the former date, it must
encounter the same elements of opposi-
ton.
We do not believe that such senator's
as Gray and Lindsay are any more con-
verified TO belief in free silver than
they were two years ago or that the
states of New York and New Jersey are
any more inclined in that direction.
There are some Democrats-perhaps
some thousands of them-who have re-
turned fully to the party field, with all
that is implied therein as regards the
currency, but there are others-or there
will be-who will go over to the Re-
publican party rather than embrace such
heresy. Ii does not seem to US worth
while, therefore, TO borrow trouble in
view of any detection from sound money
support, which recent contests in the
senate may threaten. Boston Herald.

AFTER THE BATTLE
Each Man Thinks the Other a Verv
Easy Mark

SAN FRANCISCO, May War talk has
fallen into second place in this city today,
compared with the Sharkey-Jeffries bout
at the Mechanics Pavilion last night, the
decision Of the referee and the future pos
sible movements of the principals in la st
nights contest.
There seems to be a growing feeling
among sporting men that the decision of
Referee Greggains, awarding the fight to
the Los Angeles man, was an extremely
close one. This seems to be the opinion of
Tom Sharkey, too. The Sailor has raised
his oft-repeated cry of robbery and in an
interview said:
Il feel 1t was a bare-faced robbery for
Referee Greggains to award the fight to
Jenries and am willing to leave the de-
cision of the matter to the spectators. |
think 1 out-pointed him and should have
had the decision. If went at him would
have won In ten rounds"
He continued: II planned to take mat
ters easy and punch him out gradually.
Those tactics proved to all sportsmen who
saw the fight that could fight fairly and
without the fouling that I was formerly
charged with: While this style of fighting
might look better to those at the rineside.
l now see 1t Is not the kind that will win.
Il suppose IL had gone in and mixed
things. the decision would have gone
against me on foul. l was surprised at
the decision as. after the showing made,

BRITISH SEADOGS
Were Not Surprised at Dewey's Delay
in Reporting

al 1seporCluS
NEW YORK, May 7.-''There Is no
ground for uneasiness regarding Commo-
dore Dewey" said veteran British naval
officer to the World correspondent In Lon
don.
II should not be at all surprised IL the
next news of him should be taken from
Manila to Hong Kong by the British gun
boat Linnet, which might leave Manila
with dispatches on the arrival of the Brit
ish cruiser Immortalite, due in Manila to-
night"
The theory of naval men here is that
Commodore Dewey could not spare dis
patch boat and is probably waiting to send
his report by the merchant steamship
which runs bi-weekly between Hong Kong
and Manila.
Robert c. Hayne, the London agent of
the Indo-China Steamship Company, which
owns the line between Hong Kong and
Manila, said to the World correspondent
today:
Il am not in the slightest degree sur
prised at the delay in hearing from Com
modore Dewey. Aside from the peculiar
circumstances of his position, the danger
Gus character of the sea between Manila
and Hong Kong is quite enough to account
for the non-arrival of a dispatch boat.

Henry Rawlings Charged With Spying
for Spaniards

WASHINGTON, May IAN alleged
Spanish spy was arrested In this city to-
night, and Is now in confinement at the
arsenal. The authorities are extremely
reticent regarding the details of the cap
ture, and refuse positively to make pub
lie the name of the man. It is known,
however, that he Is an American, and up
to within three weeks ago he had been an
enlisted man on q vessel of the United
States navy. The arrest was made at
boarding house by Chief Wilkie Of the Sc
cret service, assisted by Captain Fage Of
the Eighth artillery, and guard of cor
poral and one man. The arrest was made
very quietly and attracted no attention. 1t
was military procedure, and the police
authorities were not informed 1t IL
stated that the evidence against the pris-
oner Is absolutely conclusive, and that
complete cipher code and other incrimi-
mating documents were found upon his
person. The prisoner was Immediately
escorted to the artillery barracks at the
United States arsenal here and placed in
close confinement under military guard.
Later it was learned that the prisoner
has been known under the name of Henry
Rawlings. He is SO years of age, and an
Englishman by birth. He last served on

BOLD SPANIARDS
Claim to Have Repelled an Attacking
SQUADRON

HAVANA, May AT $50 o'clock this
morning two American cruisers, which
were pursuing the Spanish cruiser Santi-
ago, bound for Yucatan with salted fish,
approached the Vedado batteries, which
fired at them when about five miles off
shore. Six shots were discharged at the
Americans. A local paper says that one OF
the projectiles carried off the smokestack
and one of the masts of the American cruis-
er which was in the lead, and that another
projectile fell upon the deck of the other
cruiser. The Americans replied with y
shots, but the projectles fell two miles off
the batteries. and the cruisers retreated
under full steam. One of the shots from
the batteries fell near one of the American
vessels, covering her deck with water, and
it is asserted positively that a hole was
made in her hull below the water line.
At 11:30 a. m. the Santiago entered the
harbor in tow of the Susie. One Of the
American shots carried off a boat from the
schooner's stern. 1t Is reported that one
of the cruisers was SO badly damaged that
she would be towed to Key West

ment was definitely organized today.
