THE BRIDGEPORT CASE.
The Woman Arrested in London Re-
 mnnued.

London, Oct. 3.-Dr. Nancy Guilford of Bridgeport, Conn.,, or the woman suspected of being pr. Guilford, was remanded at Bow street police court here to-day for week, after evidence had been presented proving her identt- tv with the woman who landed at Liv- erpool last week from the steamer Vancouver The initials IN. A. G. were found on articles in her poses sion. The prisoner listened unmoved to the evidence presented against her.t
 The woman was brought into court between two policemen and was placed in the dock The court was crowded. She did not show any emotion or 1n- terest in the proceedings. Her only sign of excitement was the occasional picking of the fringe of fur about her cape She had secured counsel but her lawyer yas unable to be present on &C., count of illness. When the prisoners name was called as Nancy Guilford she did not protest.
 Inspector Freese of Scotland Yard de- scribed the arrest. He said that when ne dSkGu I1e 5 uuiile oic Sttiu she was Mrs. McAllister from Chicago, and asserted that she had been in Eng land for six months past To this the inspector replied that he believed she was Nancy Guilford, and that he ar rested her on the charge of manslaugh- ter, committed in the United States. Thereupon she protested against being taken into custody, chasing the pro- ceeding as an outrage and asking whether she could communicate with counsel, which she was allowed to do.
 He then removed the prisoner to Bow street. He examined a trunk and a handbag of American make, and the clothing which she had in her posses sion, and found that the initials had been cut out of some silver spoons. Among her effects the inspector found gold thimble marked IN. G. from F." :" a silver thimble having on it the ini- tials IN. A. G." and also a surgical in strument A detective also testified that he had found drugs and powders in her trunks.
 A Liverpool detective identified her as the passenger who had arrived by the Vancouver, and a clerk of the United States embassy asked for her remand pending the arrival of papers from America. She was then removed to the cells without having spoken a word during the proceedings.

BRAINS REPAIRED.
Polished and Sharpened by an Ex.
 pert.

What are brains made of ?
 Albumen and delicate particles of Phosphate of Potash. Chemical ex- animation of the precipitation and urine will determine the amount of recent brain work, by the amount of Phosphate of Potash found, for these delicate particles are thrown out from brain and nerve centers during nerv- ous activity, and find their way back to earth through pores. kidneys, bow els, etc.
 There is but one true way to repair the daily losses, and that way is to furnish the body with food containing sufficient amount of these two ele- ments. When the brain is not proper ly fed, the evidence is shown by gradual decrease in the mental and physical powers of the body.
 A food expert of the Postum Cereal Co, Linn, at Battle Creek, Mich, has prepared crisp, dainty and delicious food for the express purpose of quick ly and surely rebuilding the brain and nerve centers, and has given it the name of Grape Nuts.
 This food is made by selecting the PibpNl pttl tS pl idlfi' eiilu them by heat. moisture and time in practically the same manner Nature does in the human body during the first part of digestion. The result is that the finished food not only contains the needed clements for brain building, but they are ready to be presented to Mother Nature in such a. shape that. she quickly absorbs and uses them. The good solid, substantial results obtained every day by people who use Grape Nuts prove the facts.
 The new food is found in all first class grocery stores, and is one of the most toothsome and palatable novel; ties yet produced in the way of food, requiring no cooking or preparation of any sort, but, on the contrary, it is ready for immediate use and suited to the athlete. brain worker, epicure, or invalid.

It is be- lteved that every ship building, gum making and armor plate making firm in the United States has been in the negotiations. The projectors claim they can raise a capital of $200, 900 000. One of their fond dreams, which may or may not become reality, is said to be the securing of canal from the Great lakes to the sea, all on United States territory. The yards for build ing warships could then be located on the lakes.
 Among the Clevelanders who are in the deal is said to be Myron T. Peck, president of the Society of Savings, and Robert Wallace, president of the Cleve- land Shipbuilding company. Dr. Cat ling the famous inventor of guns has been here in conference with other men in the deal.
