CRUISE OF THE BROOKLYN.
The Big Vessel Will Sail About the
West Indies.

Washington Feb. 1.-Ordcrs have
been given by Secretary Long to have
the big armored cruiser Brooklyn make
a cruise through the West Indies, and
especially among the Windward
islands, St. Thomas and st. Cruz. The
vessel is now fitting out at the New
York navy yard and Will be ready for
sea in a day or two 1t was at first
intended to have the Brooklyn join the
North Atlantic squadron at Tortugas,
but the change in her orders will make
it necessary for her to put in at New
port News to take CCal for the long
trip,
This cruise of the Brooklyn is to he
followed by others in the same direc-
tion as was the case every winter until
the interposition of the veto upon such
cruises brought about by the fear that
the presence oc the United States ves-
sells in the neighbOrhoOd of Cuba might
be misunderstood. This fear is now
being removed and the way being
cleared for the resumption of the old
practices as to winter cruises. 1t is the
intention of the secretary of the navy
to allow some CT the smaller gunboats
To touch at points along the coast of
Cuba, outside of Havana, such as Mat

THE FELLOWS.SMITH EQUITY CASE.
Testimony Was Heard Before Judge
Purdy Yesterday.

There was a hearing in Judge Arch
bald's chamber in the court house yes
terday before Judge George w. Purdy
of Honesdale, in the equity proceed
ings of Joseph Fellows against Cor
nelius Smith and the latter's son, John
Stanley Smith. Mr.. Fellows gave a
deed to the defendants for a large tract
of land on the West Side which he
owned and he now seeks to have the
deed cancelled.
The hearing began yesterday morn
ing at $50 and continued until O'Clock
last evening. 1t will be resumed this
morning.
John Stanley Smith was the first
witness called. He testified that he
favor was made for one-half of the
Fellows tract. He gave nothing for the
land. His father Cornelius Smith, tes-
titled at length to his business rela-
tions with Joseph Fellows and the lat
ter then was called for the purpose of
contradicting what Mr.. Smith said. He
was under ss-examination when the
hearing was adjourned for the day.
Mr.. Fellows was represented by At
torneys James H. Torrey and Z. c..
Newcomb. The defendants We're nomi-
nally represented by Attorney James
Mahon, although Mr.. Smith, taking ad-
vantage if his right to try his own case,
conducted the great part of the eX-
aminatiOns himself.

RYAN AND JUDGE BOX TONIGHT
Dispute About Weight Was Finally
Settled Last Night.

Never before We're there indications
that the American Sporting club would
have such a packed house, as is in
dicated for tonight's 20-round boxing
contest between Tommy Ryan and jim
Judge. 1t is doubtful if the capacity
of Music hall will be more than suffi-
cient to accommodate the big crowd Of
spectators.
Telephone messages We're received
last night from Carbondale, Wilkes
Barre and Pittston asking if the bouts
would be finished in time to permit
people from those places to leave for
home on the 11.33 and 11.55 Delaware
and Hudson trains. Manager Skelly
responded that this could be done and
that the first preliminary would begin
promptly at $50 O'clock. This will per-
nit a finish of the main event between
Judge and Ryan by IL O'Clock at the
latest.
Ryan arrived in Scranton on the $50
Lackawanna train from New York.
With him were his second, Billy O'Neill
and Jack Skelly, the American clubs
manager Ryan and O'Nein went to
the Grand Central hotel and Skelly to
the Conway house. Not long after their
arrival a telephone message from
judge was received asking about the
weights He had understood the limit
was to be 143 pounds. Ryan wanted
to enter the ring at catchweights.
After considerable argument Judge
consented to the latter arrangement.
Ryan is said to be four or five pounds
heavier than the Scrantonian.

Just a woman's story.

Just a wonan's story.
Not strange because II happens every day,
not romantic or thrilling, but just story Of
misery and suffering such as only women
know.
For eighteen years, Sara z. Bowen, Of
Peru, Indiana, carried burden Of pain.
Night and day, without respite, she suf-
fered the most dreadful experience that ever
fell to the lot Of woman.
That she did not die is almost beyond
belief.
That she Is well to-day Is a miracle.
Mrs. Bowen's trouble requires no descdp-
ton beyond the symptom, which every
woman will instantly recognize.
In describing them Mrs. Bowen says,
"For eighteen years / suffered with
weakness peculiar to my sex.
IL was broken down piece Of human
ity: shadow Of woman.
"My brain was tortured until could re-
member bot little. could not sleep or eat
and was reduced in weight to mere skele-
ton. What little I did cat eould not be di-
gested in my weakened state, and caused
me untold misery.
"My skin was muddy. my eyes were
heavy. Twas dizzy all the time and to-
tally Unfit for even ordinary housework.

Medicine was recommended and taken in

Judge Edwards asked the number CT
Heinzmans case and Heinzman
answered "Fifty-seven; next to dis
fellow" pointing to another person.
He gave the number of the cell he has
been occupying since his arrest.
The case against Ernest Price, Of
Carbondale, was settled out of court by
the defendant making restitution to
the girl in the shape of money.
BOARDING HOUSE BOTHER.
Martin Josepchck was tried for
throwing a stone through the window
of Mary Bauby's boarding house on
Emmett street at 8 o'clock in the morn
ing and for stealing some wearing APP
parel from the landlady. 1t developed
that he had boarded there and was
thrown out because he refused to pay
his bill He denied the charges pre-
ferred against him and said 1t was all
a spite action. The jury was out at
adjournment.
Ellen Nelson failed to appear to
prosecute her husband, Daniel Nelson,
for assault and battery and at the sug-
gestion of the district attorney the case
was dismissed and the costs put on the
county.
The Scranton Railway company re-
Tented towards Charles Callahan and
Daniel Farrell, who broke a couple of
windows in Peckville car and
whipped the conductor one evening last
December. The case was consequently
dismissed and the costs put on the
county.
A settlement was effected in the case
of Charles Naegli, charged by M. p.
Judge with embezzlement, and a mol
pros directed to enter. Naegli paid the
costs.
In every case yesterday where the
parties were without real estate and
there was every reason to suppose that
insolvency proceedings would be re-
sorted to, the costs were placed direct
on the county, so as to avoid the extra
expense and trouble of the insolvency
hearings. This course was pursued at
the suggestion of the court.

THEATRICAL ATTRACTIONS.
McNulty's Visit.

A three-act farce "McNulty's Visit"
was produced at the Academy of Music
last night and will be repeated this
afternoon and evening. lt is a
farce that does not point with pride
to the depth and thickness Of it's plot
but it has some good features and is
quite entertaining here and there.
George II, limerick as Timothy Nc
Nulty, is the most entertaining man in
the cast. His very appearance causes
laughter. Very clever specialties were
given by La Petite Gracie who initiates
Anna Held ana Guilbert. ida Russell
and Rose Bacon entertained with songs
and dances and Winifred Stewart sang
several songs that won the warm appro-
baton of the audience.

 There Is no limit to the good Lummis sees in Mexico. There is no hanging there, he tells us; capital punishment outside of the army, and that deemed necessary for the suppression Of br1gand- age.

r IT'S the delightful, unaffected infor-
 mality of his style that Is the chief
 ingredient toward the success of
 Lummis' Mexico" It's an ideal | book of its kind; description
 made fascinating; an account of
 travels rendered fresh and interest ing. and statistics actually made agreed ble Another ingredient, though, must be the authors unbounded sympathy with his subject-the Mexican has all our yir- tues and none of our vices, according to Lummis-and his impatience of those who have learned history by not studying it."
 "A course of travel" says Lummis, in beginning his book, should be compul- sorry for all able-bodied adult citizens, and no traveller should print anything about a country whose language he shall not speak"
 As Lummis' friend, who would enforce such laws, has not yet been declared Czar, the next best thing one can do, so far as Mexico Is concerned, is, to read this Awakening of Nation"
 The author will surprise you occasion ally by the use of such expressions as NO scrub could walk like this, and "Just such legs do not grow upon the 1n- dian." which last gives one the impress sion of legs as parasite and not legiti- mate part of the human anatomy. But he'll surprise you infinitely more by the amount of knowledge he possesses and so we'll knows how to make interesting, of the American Cinderella" He'll delight you with his vigorous, unhackneyed style, with his original way of looking at things, with the excellence of his arrangement of facts and figures with the tasteful blend ing of important with trivial things, with
