Bound Over.

The preliminary hearing OF Philip
Dufford, charged with having stolen a
silver watch from Thomas Hughes
about the 18th day of August last, was
held before Mayor Richardson Monday
The young man pleaded not guilty in
the morning and some witnesses were
subpoenaed to appear at seven o'clock
Monday evening At this nearing
Thomas Hughes and wife and Marshal
Dye gave their testimony. According
to the testimony, Dufford had bor-
rowed the watch from Mr.. Hughes, at
whose house he was boarding, and had
used the watch for some weeks pre-
vious to the time it is claimed the
theft was committed, and on that date
he is said to have left the house to get
the watch which he claimed was at
jewelers. to be cleaned and he never
returned.
Duffords story agrees with this all
right except he goes further and says
he lost the watch as he was going back
to Mr.. Hughes and having no money
he did not want to go back to the
house, but thought he would go some
place and go to work and repay Mr..
Hughes fer his loss.
However, the Mayor held that he
should have trial before the county
court and asked that he give bond for
his appearance, which he could not do
at that time and was remanded to
Jail. I,o,

abused women. Our condemnation of
some European institutions is doubtless all
right, but we had better save little of our
pity and lavish it right here at home. The
American wife and mother who labors
morning, noon and night, in the close con.

worse off than the abused Peasant-woman.
The latter enjoys fresh air, sunlight and
outdoor exercise and retains that most
precious endowment, her health.
American women, ever busy in the close
confines of the home, get delicate and soon
suffer from weakness and arrangement of
the delicate feminine organs. Confinement
to the house runs down their health and
they suffer from internal liberation and
inflammation, giving rise to debilitating
drains on the system. Dr. Pierce's Favorite

A PESSIMISTIC PRESS.
The Press of Madrid Takes & Gloomy View

Inc Press or Madrid Takes 6 Gloomy view
 of Spanish Finances.
 NEW YORK, March 1O.-A dispatch to the World from Madrid says:
 The whole Madrid press comments gloomily on Spanish finances. Many including the friends of the cabinet attribute present conditions less to un tavo rable rumors as to the relations o1 Spain with the United States than tc the efforts of the native and foreign Ipeculators, who are ever on the aler o take advantage of any circumstance % depress Spanish securities.
 The tone of most of the papers is, however, pessimistic, as even so min. sterial an organ as Fl Liberal con dudes a long article on the situation IS follows:
 Undoubtedly our relations with the United States have been adjusted for the time being, according to the strict dictates of prudence; but does the gov ernment really believe that this nation will be able, without suffering irrepar- able damage, to bear for even a few months more this anxious indecision, this enervating uncertainty"

STAINS EXTREMITY.

Mi mister woodford's Alleged Cabiegram
 to the President on spain's Financial Inn
 potency.
 NEW YORK, March 1O.-A cablegram received from Minister Woodford has been laid before the cabinet by the president, says the Worlds Washington correspondent, which declares that Spain has exhausted every means of raising money for the prosecution of war without success. All the finan- cial centers of Europe have rejected her overtures. Gen. Woodford pro nounces it an utter impossibility for Spain to secure funds with which to en- gage in hostilities against the United States.
 In reference to the political condi- tions which impelled the ministry to suggest the recall of Gen. Lee, Minis ter Woodford said that Sagasta was friendly to the United States, and would make every possible concession to pre- serve peace. The future danger, said Gen. Woodford, lies with the people. With hostile majority in the cortes, and the probability that this will be continued at the forthcoming elections, the overthrow of the Sagasta ministry is not unlikely. The succeed ing ministry would be pledged to war in order to avoid revolution.
 If the Sagasta ministry retains power Gen. Woodford believes that Spain would endure humiliation rather than declare war against the United States.
