CHURCHILL'S ESCAPE.
II Is Supposed He Can Furnish In
portant Information.

NEW YORK, Dec. 23.-A dispatch TO
the World from London says:
The London Morning Post of today
prints the following from its military
critic:
THE most interesting news this
morning is thlt Winston Churchill "a
correspondent Of the New York World)
reached Delagoa bay Thursday. At
present no more is known than the
bare fact, but no doubt a story Of ad-
venture will come.
How he managed to make his way
from Pretoria to the coast is a mys-
terry. 1t was a daring thing to make
the attempt, for the Beers would have
been quite within their rights if in the
hunt for him they had shot him;
though once caught they could not le-
sally inllict any punishment.
1T is presumed that he will take
ship for Durham and join General Bull
ler's force. His presence would be an
advantage to General Butler, for
Churchill has not Travelled both as a
prisoner and fugitive from Colenso
10 Pretoria, and from Pretoria to
Lourenzo Marquee without knowing
great deal mora about the Boer posi-
tions, strength and temper that any
once In the British camp can know.

Every appearance Of the field marshal

exchanged. Many ladies pressed Gag
erly forward to get a last handshake
and express deep sympathy with the
distinguished soldier in his recent b.

As the general joined his wife and

The other summer boarder shivered

Pray don't make a mountain out of a

Why experiment on yourself with
remedies of doubtful utility when you
can get Chamberlain's Cough Remedy,
which has stood the test of time?
Twenty-Five years sale and use have

cold in a day if taken as soon as the
cold has been contracted and before ii

A Disturbing Suggestion.

What is the matter with his majesty.
said the European official. He seems
very uneasy and annoyed. Has some
one been telling him that a fight is immi-
nent?
No. Some meddlesome person has
been representing to him that Asiatic
and African complications will be di-
Dramatically settled and that Europe is on
the verge of peace.-Washington Star,
During the winter of 1897 Mr.. James
Reed, one of the leading citizens and
merchants of Clay, Clay county, W. Va,
struck his leg against a cake of ice in
such q manner as to bruise it severely.
1t became'very much swollen and panied
him so badly that he could not walk
without the aid of crutches. He was
treated by physicians, also used several
kinds of liniment and two and a half
gallons of whiskey in bathing it, but
nothing gave any relief until he began
using Chamberlain's Pain Balm. This
brought almost a complete cure in a
weeks time and he believes that had he
not used this remedy his leg would have
had to be amputated. Pain Balm is
unequaled for sprains, bruises and
rheumatism. For sale by A. G. Ireland.

The Yellow Fever Scare.

The recent yellow fever fright raised
wide felt INTEREST," its treatment. 1t is
treated in the simplest way possible al
though it is a terrible disease. Perfect
sanitary arrangements are insisted upon,
the supply of water must be pure, sim
pie medicines are administered and the
bowels kept regular. There is nothing
better than Hostetter's Stomach Bitters
for cleansing the system. A dose three
times a day will bring new life and
happiness. 1t will positively cure con-
stipation and dyspepsia and for weak
liver or kidneys there is nothing to
equal it. Every druggist keeps it, and
a private revenue stamp covers the neck
of the bottle.

And, Forsooth, For a Very Large

Madam, will you please stand up just

of one of the closed cars on Fourth ave-
nue. yesterday.
Certainly not" said the passenger adj
dressed, who happened to be quite stout.
She was attired in a tight fitting black
satin gown, with close fitting collar and
looked uncomfortable.
"All right, ma'am. Excuse me-" said
the conductor as he moved back to his
place on the platform.

mo, ma'am," answered the conductor
meekly.
II want a transfer for Twenty-ninth
street." remarked the stout passenger in
a dignified tone.
Eyes, ma'am," murmured the conduct
or mechanically.
The car had passed Twenty-fourth
street and was gliding swiftly along up
town. Nobody seemed disposed to get
off or on, and Twenty-ffth and Twenty
| sixth streets were passed successfully.
Conductor, | want a Twenty-ninth
street transfer" commanded the occu-
pant of the black satin gown somewhat
~nervously.
Eyes, ma'am," answered the conductor
listlessly.
"Well, why don't you give it to me!
Il can't, ma'am, because l haven't got
any transfer tickets"
The car sped on, and the other passen-
gers began to manifest interest. Twen-
ty-eighth street was reached, and the
stout woman, flushed with anger, shook
her fan threateningly at the conductor
and calculated, IF you don't give me a
transfer ticket at once, l will report
you"
