ACCORDING to Northern lingo news
paper, there is no hesitancy on the part
of the American soldiers in the Phil
ippines to advance against the natives,
ITO brave any perils, to run any risks, and
to make no count of life, 10 order to put
them down. But if the same newspa.
per can be believed, the soldiers referred
to, have no perils to brave and no risks
to run, as the poor little brown negroes
flee at the CLINT of their bayonets or the
first sound Of their muskets, and hide
themselves in the rice swamps. But
consistency and jingoism are not oom-
patible.

REMARKABLE OPERATION.

A remarkable operation was per.
formed yesterday at st. Joseph's Hos.
pital, Baltimore, by the physicians OF
the hospital staff, on Mr.. Charles G.
Baker, who was taken to the hospital
some days ago from Waynesboro, Pa,
and in whose face was found, through
means of X-rays, stell chisel. The
operation was completed within an
hour. and the patient put to bed. From
present indications, the patient is in a
fair way to recovery. The incision was
made, beginning just over the nose,
where the sharp tool was thought to
have entered, and the chisel drawn by
means of forceps like instrument.
Mr.. Baker ia an operator of wood
working machine, in the employ of
the Geiser Manufacturing Company, Of
Waynesboro, Pa. 1t was while per.
forming his regular duties that he re.
ceived his injury, which subsequently,
assumed such remarkable character
One of Two chisels. sat stationary in the
machine, while making more than a
thousand revolutions per minute, flew
from its setting and imbedded itself in
the muscles of the face. The other chisel
was found lying on the floor, near the
machine.
The wound on the face healed, al.
most to perfect satisfaction, in few
days. In few more days, however, it
grew troublesome, and Baker was sent
10 Baltimore aud taken to St. Josephs
Hospital. After an examination made
by Professor Tiffany. he was taken
to the State Normal School. where he
wss made the object of an X-rays test.
by means of which the chisel was To-
Gated. 1t was then discovered that
the sharp-edged tool entered over the
nose, where the wound still appeared.

Representative LAME of the Rich
mond district, who was supposed
to train with the snti-Martinites,
previous to the May conference,
now says the proposition to elect
United States Senators by the
direct vote of the people, came from
Senator Martins political enemies, and
that be, Lamb, does not think it was
right to invoke principle st this time
to assist a campaign against him.
Nearly everybody now thinks that
personal feeling had more to do with
the late opposition to Senator Martins
reelection than political principle or
love of country.

COMPLICATIONS THREATENED

The danger of European complica-

nearer. Evidently, Great Britain is
preparing to meet it, and other nations
seem to be also on the alert.
A British squadron of eight battle
ships and five cruisers has been order
ed from Cape Clear, Ireland, to Gibral'
tar. These will be added to large
squadron now in the Mediterranean.
Dispatches to the London Daily Mail

He was recently in New York as the
guest OF Sir Thomas Upton during the

The hostility of Russia and France to
English interests ia taken for granted,
but Italy is supposed to be on terms OF
particular friendship with the Queens
government. Germany, as far as Off
cial signs go, is also friendly, though
her press is bitterly hostile.
A mass-meeting of 1000 members OF

plumage is edging its way back to recogni-

heart of the plumage.
In gray hair shell combs are much in favor.
The rich hues of the shell emphasize the
gray or white of the tresses. Combs may
have gold or jewelled decorations upon them,

And of what other remedy can that be

Every form of nervous trouble,

cured-to stay cured-by Paine's celery
compound. Every kind and degree of
impoverishment of the system is over

after other remedies have shown no bene-

1t is the spring remedy vouched for by

People are everywhere dying of ex-
hausted nervous energy or dragging out
their lives in pain and discomfort, be-
cause of sleeplessness, nervousness and

of Paine celery compound in successfully
curing such nervous troubles is to feed
the nerves, build up the wasted brain
parts, nourish the tissues and increase
the constructive capacity of the blood.

Gov. Stevens frankly and freely recon-

been greatly benefited by it, and when
ever there is sickness inhis family Paine's
celery compound is the remedy that is
used.
As a witness to the wonderful efficacy
of this remedy, especially in spring, the
experience of the Chief Executive of the
State told in the following letter cannot
be slightingly passed over.
