Wanted for Decorations.

John F. Hackfeld, in charge of the
Imperial German Consulate here, was
asked yesterday concerning the adver-
tisement he is publishing in the Ger
man language. Mr.. Hackfeld explain
ed that the message was directed to
men who had won medals in the SER
vice of the German Empire in the wars
of 1864, 1866 or. 1901. The holder of
decoration for being in any or all of
those campaigns is to receive a spe-
cial medal. This new medal was de-
cided upon by William Third last year
and was struck to commemorate the
1OUth year since the birth of the late
Emperor William First. Such names as
are sent to Consul John F. Hackfeld
will be forwarded without delay to the
Imperial Foreign Office

body thousands of years before any
body even suspected it. Isn't that
queer? Now, there is a matter But
let's have an example or two first. and
the theory afterwards.
A father writes thus about his
daughter: During the summer OF 1880
my daughter, Rebecca, got into n weak.
languid way. Her appetite was poor,
and after eating she had so much pain
at the chest and sides that she didn't
know where to put herself. She also
complained of pain in the pit of the
| stomach, in the throat, and at the back
of the neck. Cold, clammy sweats used
to break out all over her. Her breath
ing became short and laboured, and at
times she could not even lie in bed on
account of it. She consulted two ply
/ sicians, who prescribed for her with
out avail.
This was her general condition I'M
til January 1898, when she began TAX
ing Mother Seigels Curative Syrup.
This preparation certainly had a re-
markable effect. One bottle alone
greatly relieved her. She relished her
food, and got stronger. BY simply con-
tinuing to use this medicine in three
months she was completely cured.
Since then she has been we'll as ever
she was. My married daughter, who
has suffered from indigestion for a
long time, seeing what this remedy
had done for Rebecca, took it also,
with the same good results. Yours
truly, (Signe0 Bartholomew Bell, Gro

ness and spasms. 1 always felt weak,
tired, and languid, and had no desire
for company. l had bad taste in the
mouth, and frequently felt sick and
PROSTATE. l had no relish for food,
and, after eating, had pain at the chest
and side. Such was my manner of life
for years. Two years ago my sister told
me of Seigers Syrup; 1 tried it, and
even few doses relieved me. l con-
tinued taking it, and soon my appetite
improved, and my food digested. Since
that time have felt quite new being

have suffered from indigestion and sick
headaches. I never felt as if I wanted
food, and after eating 1 experienced
the usual pains and distresses of the
confirmed dyspeptic. The attacks of
sickness and headache were often no
less than dreadful. So-called medi-
cines and remedies were, at the best,
only temporarily useful. In January,

me of SeigePs Syrup. l used it, and it

TWO BUCKETS AND A PIPE.

Take two common water-buckets:
connect them at the bottom with a
small pipe. Now undertake to fill one
of them with water; you perceive at
once that the water tends to fill the
other pail also.
What's the use of saying that?" you
ask me. Every fool knows that water
in connected reservoirs will assume
the same level" Quite SO. Yet the
wisest men on earth didn't know it
once. If the ancient Romans had
known it they wouldn't have gone to
the trouble and expense of building
their great aqueducts. Oh, dearl oh.
dear! After thing is pointed out
what a lot of people are able to see it.

Unions Retire.

The Union baseball team is no more.
A meeting of the League was held in
the hall of the Chamber of Commerce
yesterday. Manager Goudie stated that
it was impossible to get together a
team capable of fighting on an equal
footing with the Regiment and Homo
lulu teams. He proposed that each of
the. teams mentioned pay him $40. He
had already expended $50 on material
for the team. This was accepted. 1t is
now proposed to arrange for a series
of Is games between the remaining
teams.

the news of the arrival of sailing

PROGRESS ANNEX.
Work Started on Bruce Cart
wright's Building.


c. S. Desky is experimenting for
Bruce Cartwright the erection of an
annex to the new Progress Block on
Fort and Beretania. Ground was
broken yesterday morning with force
of 20 men and u teams. Material is
being gotten out from the quarries and
work will proceed with good speed. Mr.
Cartwright's building will have a
frontage OF 6S feet on Fort street and
will have depth of so feet. 1t will be
three stories, of Island stone and
brick and iron, with plate glass store
fronts. The makai wall of the present
Progress Block will serve as the maui
ka wall of the new building. Arches
viii be made in this point wall and for
the upper floors Of the two blocks there
will be used the same electric elevator.

It is more than likely that if Fort

Mr.. Desky will inaugurate some other

of the new Central Fire
Station, giving that imposing pile still
another creditable neighbor.

The system OF Sen-Const Defenses
Nearing Completion.
Fort Monroe. Va, Nov. 4.-The most ex-
tensive system of seacoast defenses in the
world is being rapidly completed at this
point in Connection with the original
fertilization of Fort Monroe. = Great
progress was made on the original plars
of the fortifications board during the
war, much of the $50, 600 900 emergency ap-
preparation being expended here. Just
why the remaining work on these plans
and the extension of the scheme of the
dafenses is being completed in such
haste no one appears 20 know. The al
most antiquated original fort and the
two modern disappearing gun batteries
and mortar batteries viii shortly be in
creased by the addition of three concrete
emplacements for disappearing gurs CT
ten-inch caliber, and the original work
will be further strengthened ny the con-
struction of a concrete emplacement
within the walls of the ori yinal stone
fortress, in which will be Installed Il dis
appearing gun of ten or twsve-inch cal
iber. Added to these improvements are
the four rapid-fire guns and the eight
inch rifles on the parapet erected in an
ticipation of an attack by the Spanish
fleets.
