People.

received here, where the earl is well
known.
Gilbert John Elliott Kyngmound is the
is the fourth Earl of Mimic. He was
born in 1915 and educated at Trinity coll
Iege, Cambridge. Soon after. completing
his course in 1861 he was appointed ensign
of the Scots F'usilier Guards, and in 1877
he served with the Turkish army. He
took part in the Afghan war of 1879, and

way to see Gen. Gomez. Col. Bosa
speaks the sentiments Of Gen. Gomez,
for he came here expressly to give
them. He refused to say much for pub
ncation, and Gen. Howard, acting I'M
der government instructions, will not
permit to be printed all that he did
say.
Col. Bosa, speaking for Gen. Gomez,
and, as he believes, for the Cubans in
general, said they wanted a constitu-
ton modelled upon the constitution of
the United States, with such changes as
circumstances rendered necessary. That
which, above all, they desire is relig-
fous freedom.
Gen. Gomez is not anxious, according
to his military chief of staff, to put
Cubans in high places, either as mill
tary officers or, later on, as civil COM
manders. He desires that the United
States exercise full control until such
time as peace may be declared, when.
he is confident, the United States will
treat the Cubans fairly. He has no
criticism of the acts at Santiago, and
does not believe the Garcia letter genu-
inc. If genuine he does not sympathize
with it's sentiments.

CHICAGO'S CARNIVAL.
People Enthusiastic for a Mammoth
Fall Exhibition.

Chicago, Ill, July 29-Enthusiastic
speeches by leading merchants and
leading business men last evening,
showed that the commercial interests
of Chicago are a unit in favoring the
carnival project. At a meeting called
at the Great Northern by President
John 7. Shayne Of the Commercial as
ISOLATION to consider the proposition to
hold in Chicago a two weeks carnival
from October to 10, the project was
discussed.
Before asking for definite pledges of
money, however, the Commercial asso-
citation thought best to hold another
mass meeting, to meet at the Great
Northern the evening of August A.
The meeting was called to order by
John T. Shayne. He aroused great ap-
plause by offering to be one of 100 to
subscribe ST. 900.
Following Mr.. shayne, c. II. Traux
said: IF Milwaukee can raise $3.50, 900
for carnival Chicago can surely raise
a like amount. It is a mere bagatelle
compared to what we have done in the
past. We should do something to keep
our past reputation aflOat"
A. S. Gage, speaking in behalf of the
Hotel Mems association, stated that he
did not believe that ChicagO's entire
energy and enterprise had been ex-
hausted by the fair. ''Since that time, -
he said, 1--WE have lain dormant We
must now prepare for energetic action
once more"
Thomas Pratty said: New York is
already preparing for an exhibition, but
it is impossible for New York to ever
surpass Chicago as show town. She
tried to do so five years ago. The show
we propose to give will not be as great
as the fair, but it will be free to all A
million people at the very least should
come, possibly as many as 1900, 900 will
come. The hotel men will fill up their
empty rooms and the railroad men their
empty car seats.
1T might possibly be well to get the
mayor to grant US a portion of a park
to form a new midway
Victor Newhouse, an artist, read a
preliminary programme of the proposed
exercises and stated that in his opinion
it could all be done for $780, 900.

FLAXSEED DROPS.
Rumor of Abandonment of q Big Deal
the Cause.

Chicago, July 29.-The failure of the
representative of the National Linseed
OIL company to appear on the floor Of
the board of trade has been the cause
of considerable gossip. 1t caused a de-
moraHzatiOn in the price of faxseed,
cash fax dropping &c and the future
51zc. The principal cause of this drop
was the belief that the big deal in
which the company has figured since
last August was about to be abandoned
at a heavy loss.
The deal began in September, about
the time Letters wheat operations at
tracted attention The low price of
faxseed was in August, when it was
87azc. In May this year it had advanc-
ed to $1.39. The decline since then has
been sac a bushel Concerning the ru-
NOR that the trust was in trouble, Vice
President T. G. Mccullough said:
There is nothing remarkable about
the failure of our representative to go
on change. There has been some con-
troversy about two or three lots Of
seed, and it was decided that this was
the best way to settle the controversy
We have not failed, and have no inten-
ton of falling"
No worry was occasioned among 10
cal stock traders yesterdak by the drop
in haxseed, and possible effects on the
National Linseed Oil company. There
has been no interest in 1inseed oil, and
scarcely any trading in the securities
of the company for months. The stock
dropped today from q to Is.

WHEN THE BODY IS NOT AT IT'S
BEST LOOK TO THE KIDNEYS.
The Discovery of John Morrow Has
Placed the Means of Re-
storing Health in Every
bodv's Power.

When the human body Is entirely free
from pain and the nerves are strong
and the senses keen, when severe mus
cular exertion is a joy and the indiv1d-
ua1 labors hopefully to achieve the
success in life that ambition urges him
toward-then is certain that the kid
neys are working properly and healtn-
fully and the whole body feels the
good results. When the reverse of
these conditions exist It is time to give
careful attention to the health.
The kidneys are like a keystone IN
an arch. Their function is to keep all
parts Of the body in the harmony Of
good health. But when the kidneys get
out of order every part suffers. First.
usually, there is pain in the small of
the back. Headaches, nervousness and
pain in urinating follow, and the sys-
tenn is all run down.
To check kidney disease In these ear
Hest stages or to cure cases of many
years standing, there is nothing better
known to the medical world than Nor
rows Kidneoids The remedy oiscov-
cred by John Morrow, the great Amer
lean chemist, is put up in little yellow
tablets, which. despite their small slze'
have great power over the Kidneys.
A grateful letter from wen known
grocer of Springfield. Ohio, Mr.. r. A
Lewis, tells how the kidneoids act. MI
Lewis writes:
Il have taken two boxes of Morrow's
Kidneoids and have been wonderfully
benefited. From the burning sensa-
ton and the retention Of urine, l was
positive that I was suffering from KID
ney trouble. I had taken many RENE
dies without success, and finally decld-
ed to try Morrow's Kidneoids The Ell
feet was almost instantaneous, ana
am thankful that I was able to dlscoV-
er such a cure. To those wishing re-
lief can recommend this remedy
Aorrow's Kidneoids are for sale at all
dealers. Price so cents a box, or SIX
boxes for $3.50. If not to be had at your
dealers, they will be sent postpaid upon

WOMAN's WEAKNESS.
Case Where Tt May Lose HerRelatives
$4,000.

New York, July 29.-The will of Cap
tins of the Bourgogne disaster, has
been offered for probate in the prerog-
ative court of New Jersey, of which
Chancellor McGill is the ordinary. Capt.
Clark lived in Hackensack and was
married for the second time on the day
before the BOurgOgne sailed. He and
his bride, who was a Miss Demorest of
Hackensaek, were on their wedding
trip. His first wife was a daughter of
the late Supreme Court Justice Knapp.
His will, which was made on July l, left
his estate, which is valued at about $780,
600, to his wife and made her sole exc
cutrfx. They both went down in the i'll
fated steamer, and the question to be
determined by the prerogative court is
which died first.
If the husband survived his wife the
estate viii go to his relatives. If it is
decided that Mrs. Clark survived her
husband her relatives will be entitled
to the estate. It is a presumption Of
the law in such cases, and has been so
decided that the woman, being the
weaker, dies first. The will has been
offered for probate by Joshua A. Clark
Captain Clarks father, for the purpose
Of having the question settled. 1t will
be necessary also to have formal proof
that the Clarks are dead. The action
IS a friendly one and is brought merely
for the purpose of having some DISPOSE
ton made of the estate. It is said the
brides relatives recognize the propriety
of the property, now that she is dead
going back to the Clarks.

ADVANCE OF ONE CENT.
Chicago Morning Newspapers to Put
Up Their Price August I.

Chicago. July 29-The Times Herald
has made the following editorial an
nouncement:
ION and after Monday, August 1, the
price of the daily edition of the Times
Herald in the city of Chicago will be 2
cents per copy.
"Since the beginning Of the war there
has been a large increase in the cost of
white paper, which has, of course, in
creased in loss on each copy of the
newspaper. The Herald desires
to do business on a business basis, and
this is not possible upon a basis of 1
cent per copy. hence the decision to re-
turn to the former selling price of the
daily, 2 cents.''
Nearly three years ago the morning
newspapers of Chicago reduced their
price to 1 cent to meet the competition
of the Record. It has been a losing ven
ture. Now, the Record, the original 1
cent paper, has agreed to advance, and
August 1 all the Chicago papers. both
morning and evening, will be advanced.
Since the strike of the stereotypers pub
fishers of the Chicago papers act in
unison in everything.

MOUNTAIN OF FLESH.
Death of the Largest Woman in st.
Louis.

st. Louis, July 29.-In the person of
Margaret Bean, who died at her home,
1117 North Tenth street, yesterday
morning, ST. Louis has lost the largest
woman who, perhaps, ever resided in
the city. The undertaken, John c.
Bensiek, who has charge of the funer-
al arrangements, said the woman was
the largest he had ever seen or had ev-
er heard of In St. Louis. He said she
weighed at least $50 pounds. a special
coffin had to be made in which to place
the corpse. The casket will be a sim
pie board box of dimensions more than
double those of the ordinary coffin. 1t
will be feet 9 inches long, feet s
inches across the shoulders and 2 feet
in depth.
Charles E. Lewis, the carpenter who
is employed to construct the case, said
nothing like it had ever been furnished
in St. Louis. To support the gigantic
weight the sides of the box will be con-
structed of lumber two inches in thick
ness, and the walls will be supported
by iron bars to prevent them from
spreading. When the coffin is taken
in the house it will have to be turned
sidewise to go into the door, and the
door jamb will have to be removed in
order to take the casket out of the
room.
