The open~air concert in the park last

Many girls of sixteen years seem to
have consumption, although they have it
not.
Their anxious parents and friends watch
them slowly fade away.
A death-Ike pallor, transparent COM
plexion and EStleSSneSS are signs Of this
condition.
The body lacks blood.
Mrs. John TanSey knows the meaning
OF these symptoms, and the cure.
She lives at 80 Baker Street, Detroit,
Mich.
Her advice to mothers has been of great
valUe to her neighbors. She tells the story
to help others who are at distance.
She said:
When my daughter was sixteen years
old she began to waste away.
Had not known there was no faint Of
consumption IN the family would have
believed her lungs were affected.
She grew thinner and thinner every day.
She lacked only the hacking cough to show
all the outward signs Of consumption.
"Our doctor called the disease by an odd
name, which learned meant simply weak
blood.
No treatment seemed to do her any good.
She was fading away before our eyes.

Commercial Fertilizers.

Fertilizers. during the year just end
ed, have been lower in price than ever
before and the indications are that they
will be even cheaper during the year TO
come. The result OF the cheaper
ing of the chemical constituents has
been to raise the quality Of the mixed
fertilizers somewhat above the mimi
mum guarantee, and consequently
there are very few samples showing de-
ficits in their composition. Out of AS
separate guarantees. only % failed

The Discussion of the Law Cedeing Terri
tories in Secret.

Madrid, September 5.-The Cortes re-
assembled here today. At the opening
of the Senate, the secretary read letter
from Senior Rodriguez, senator from
Porto Rico, refusing to obey the sum-
mons to attend.
The premier, Senor Sagasta, arrayed in
the insignia of his office, assembled the
tribune and read decree authorizing
the government to present to the cham
ber draft Of law empowering the min
listers to renounce sovereignty over the
colonies, in conformity with the stipula-
tions of the peace preliminaries between
Spain and the United States.
The president of the Senate proposed
secret discussion of the decree and des-
pite the protests of some senators, Or
dered that the galleries be cleared, which
was done amid loud murmurs of disap-
proval.
The chamber soon became envolved in
a discussion of press censorship, and a
deputy inquired the motive underlying a
circular which General Chichilla, captain
general of Madrid, has addressed to
newspapers, regulating their reports of
the session of the Cortes. He declared
that the censorship was inconsistently
applied and that the effect of the circular
was to punish possible errors in advance.

TWO HUNDRED SICK ON RoI
MANIA.

New York, September 5.-The trans
port Roumania which arrived at Mon.
tauk Point yesterday brought 200 men
so sick that they had TO be put in hospi-
tai.
At the time of the arrival of the sick
men from the Roumania the hospital
already had nearly 700 men, and these
200 additional ones swelled the number
to 240 more than the hospital could COM
fortably hold. Although there were cots
for the 800 sick soldiers there was not
the space under the canvas to place
them. A number of patients were taken
from cots and placed upon mattresses on
the floor and the cots removed. Mat
tresses were also placed between the
cots on thu floor. Consequently this
morning about 25O men are lying on
the floor because of the lack of space.
The detention hospital needs about
250 more tents and it is probable that
some men will have to lie on the floor
for several day longer.
While the men were being taken from
the Roumania to the hospital two of
them died. They were Gorgas Broomer,
private Co. F, 25th regular infantry; Al
bert Pickworth, private Co. G, 93th

GRAND ARMY ENCAMPMENT.

Cincinnati, Ohio. September 5.-After
the rains Of yesterday and last night there
is no longer apprehension of prostration

railways are bringing in exoursionists
from every direction and the local posts
are kept busily engaged escorting the
visitors to their quarters. Although
Camp Sherman was not dedicated till 10

veterans last night. Other tents pitched
in the parks were also used and all
quarters will be we'll occupied tonight.
The festivities for the week opened early
when the Naval Veterans formed at 6 a.

of the National Naval Veteran associa-

VERMONT VOTES TO-DAY.
Vote Will Be larger Than That of Last
Off Year.

White River junction, VT, September
5.-The regular biennial election in this
state will be held tomorrow and the total
vote, it is predicted, will exceed that Of
the previous "off GEAR" 1894. In the
Presidential election two years ago, Josiah
Grout received the largest Republican
majority ever given candidate for gov
ernor in the state but the Republicans
do not anticipate their candidate, Edward
C. Smith, will receive a majority any
where near that OF Grout but are conf
dent that it will be above tho arsrage Of
the majority of off years during the past
two decades They also expect to elect
their entire state ticket by substantial
majorities. The Democratic candidate for
governor is Thomas Maloney Of Rutland.
There are several local contests in towns
for representatives but 1t Is predicted the
Democrats will not elect over twenty-five
Representatives out OF 245, yet tho
political complexion may be sonewht5
changed where Republicans have several
candidates. Of the thirty Senators the
Democrats except tbs Republicans will
not elect more than twenty light but the
Republicans are confident they will have
solid Republican Senate, the same as in
the past two campaigns. The Republic
cans have no doubt of re-electing Con-
gressmen Powers and Grout by the usual
maJor1ties.
