AFFAIRS AT HAVANA.
The Payment of the Cuban Troops to bs
Settled at Once.

The Payment of the Cuban Troops to be
Settled at Once.
Havana, April Ex-Governor General
Brooke purposes to bring the matter of
the payment of the Cuban troops to a
head Immediately. Yesterday he sent
a request to Gen. Maxine Gomez that
the latter and the junta of consulting
Cuban generals should come at once
to a decision as to whether the Cuban
muster rolls are to stand as now made
up or are to be reduced as Gen. Gomez
has been expecting. If he could con-
suit his own desires Gen. Brooke would
pay 500 per man to such as are en-
titled to share in the 100000, but if
Gen. Gomez continues to vouch for So
$50 troops payment will be begun with
out further delay on that basis. On
Tues day, May 2, three months will
have elapsed since Robert P. Porter,
President McKinley's special commits
sioner, came to formal agreement
with Gen. Gomez that it was of the
first Importance that the Cuban army
should be paid and disbanded. The
Cuban people are pessimists. The
average Cuban is now whispering his
fears of wild outbreak Of brigandage
as soon as the troops are paid off. The
planters are suspending improvements
until developments are known and pro-
jects for investment are held in abey-
ance.
Washington wishes the army problem
settled as quickly as possible so as to
withdraw at least two more regiments.
American observers do not expect that
there will be much outlawry. Some
think it is inevitable, but it will be
put down so promptly as to discourage
adventurers.
Every business house in Havana ex-
cept the drug stores and cafes were
pursuance of Major General Ludlow's
special order. The clerks, a thousand
or more, who petitioned the military
governor to issue the order, are much
pleased at the result. Not so, however,
the storekeepers and the general pub
lie.

Meat is still 40 cents a pound here,
the same as when the import duties on
cattle and the best market taxes were
collected, although nearly 10000 head
of beef entered free this month.

Death of Al. Carpenter.

Mr.. Al Carpenter, whose serious con-
dlton was mentioned in Thursdays
Leader, died at two o'clock yesterday
afternoon, at the home of his parents,
Mr.. and Mrs. William Carpenter, West
Side.
His death was not unexpected by his
friends, as his serious condition for
several days led them to think there
was little hope of his recovery. His
death was due to typhold fever, He
had been i'll for several weeks and was
to all appearances recovering, when
the dreaded relapse came and after a
few days he died,
He was taken sick in Baltimore,
where he held a responsible position
with the Standard Oil Co.. and his con-
condition became so serious thai he
brought to Marietta.
His death is a sad blow to the young
wife, to whom he had been married
only a few months. She was at his
bedside when he died.
Al Carpenter was about twenty-five
years of age. He was reared in Mari
eta and had many good friends in this
city who are sorry to learn of his
death.

the four most prominent corners of the

Disappointed Lovers.

Two disappointed lovers left on the
five o'clock train yesterday morning,
presumably for thel- homes in the
hills back of Parkersburg. They were
of tender age, innocent as spring
lambs, and had come to the city the
night before for the sole purpose of
ge,ng married
They walked the streets all the fore
part of the night, it is supposed,
looh,ng for bargain counter where a
l-cense could be procured, and after
midnight they sat down, tired and dis
couraged, in the ladies' entrance to the
st. Cloud hotel. Here they were
found by the night clerk about two
O'Clock in the morning. They had
their arms clasped about each other
and were sleeping the innocent, peace
fu. sleep of childhood. The clerk saw
that they were ignorant of the ways of
the world and kindly invited them to
occupy the parlor till morning, but
tLey said they preferred to walk
around.
They went to the Union Depot, where
their story was learned by the kind
hearted lady who waits on lunch
counter customers at night Taking
the girl to one side, she dissuaded her
from her desire to get married and
persuaded her to return to her mother.
The children left on the five O'Clock
train, the girl to return to her
mamma and the boy to the farm to
ponder over the mysteries of the mat
rlmonlal business, whose ways, to him,

An Oddity.

Yesterday Mr.. McMurray, who owns
the grocery on Second street, opposite
the depot,was unpacking some eggs
and in the operation broke the end out
of one. Noticing that there was some
"queerness" on the inside, Mr.. McMur-
ray picked off the end of the shell and
found small egg on the inside of the
larger one. The large egg was about
the size and shape of an ordinary egg,
eXceut that the end containing the
small one was long and pointed. The
small egg was about three-fourths Of
an inch long and had hard shell,
which softened after several hours ex-
posure.

N, an Volunteers Have Gone.

Captain Tlfin Gilmore and twelve
recruits for the 43d U. S. V. left over
the T. & o. c. H.. yesterday afternoon
fer Columbus. These, with the four
wlo left the day before make sixteen
all of them sound young men. There
were some scenes of sad parting be-
tween the boys and members of their
families at the depot before the train
left. A large crowd gathered at the
depot to see them off.
Arthur Hardy, of Whipple, who en-
listed several days ago. claiming he
was 20 years of age, was released on an
order from the Adjutant General. The
boy was not of age.
Captain Gilmore was very much
.elated over his success in Marietta and
expressed his satisfaction over the
treatment received by finn while in the
city.

=" "DEATH IN
THE POT"

"Death in the pot" That sentence
condenses the story of a tragedy. A
little family gathering. A fine dinner
cooked in the large copper kettle long
disused, and the entire family poisoned
by the accumulated verdigris. The story
was told by the newspapers from one
end of the land to the other. But it was
soon forgotten The moral of it is, that
the purest of food, put into foul vessel,
instead of ministering to life may be-
come a minister of death.
If the stomach is diseased it is like the
poisonous kettle, which taints everything
that goes into it. The symptoms are
irregular appetite, undue fullness after
eating, distressed feeling in the stomach,
of fluttering and sinking sensations, pal
pitation, dizziness, ringing in ears, sour or
bitter risings and constipation. Not all
these symptoms may be present at the
same tune, but any of them shows dis
ease in the digestive or alimentary tract.
The intimate relation of the stomach
to the blood, heart, liver and lungs
makes 1T medical maxim in exploring
the causes of obscure diseases to " start
with the stomach" 1t is upon this
principle that DIR. Pierce's Golden Medi-
cal Discovery effects so many and such
remarkable cures. 1t cleanses the stom-
ach and the system is cleansed. 1t in
creases the action of the blood making
glands, and the body is enriched by the
purified blood. 1t strengthens the di-
| gestive or nutritive organs and these
strengthen the whole body by increasing
the quantity and quality of its nourish-
ment 1t carries off the poisonous, effete
matter In this way it re-establishes
health, banishing the bodily aches, which
are but symptoms of the stomach's
condition.
All medicine dealers sell Golden
Medical Discovery" If they try to
substitute something else, it is because
something else" pays better. Insist
on Golden Medical Discovery if you
| want to be Cured.
