A HEARTLESS ABANDONMENT.
A Poor Nurse with n Bigger Heart
than Natural Mother APP
plies for Assistance.

London. March 31.--A womrn, ac-
companied by pretty three-year-old
giri, applied at the Bow-street police
court yesterday for assistance. She
said that three years ago the baroness
de- Ruren, alleged TO be relative Of
the late empress of Austria, brought
to the applicants home yang
woman l6 years of age, who, tine
baroness said, was her sister, Later
the latter was confined, and remained
three months with the nurse. The
girls mother and sisters, who, nce"i1-
ing to the applicant, were living III an
expensive house in the west en'l OF
London, refused to take The child, and
told the nurse to send it 10 foundling
hospital or do what she liked With it
The applicant. however, was not will
ing to make the child n pauper and
kept il. But now she 1.-THE nurse) was
in such straitened circumstances that
she was unable to keep it any longer
The applicant also said tina. when
the baby was year old the family
went to San Francisco, where the APP
plicant's father lived.
The judge advised the nurse to writ,
to the parents of the child and to no'i

An Evidence of Prosperity.

1t is generally conceded by economists,
who study the commercial situation of the
country, that the great arteries OF railway
travel are a sure indication of its condition
A depression in commercial lines means
abandoned business trips and the cancela-
tlon OF pleasure travel, while a healthy con-
dition of affairs means business trips and an
increase OF passengers on pleasure bent.
A good evidence that business revival
has gone broadcast over this country is the
Lake Shore Limited, the star train of the
Vanderbilt system, between New York and
Chicago, which is daily comfortably filled.
With view to taking the best possible care
of its patrons, the New York Central has
arranged to increase the equipment of this
train by placing an additional standard
sleeper on the trains leaving New York and
Chicago Tuesdays, Thursdays and Satur-
days. To the regular traveller the appoint
ments and comforts Of this train are well
known, but if you have never made a trip
on it, you owe it to yourself to see and en-
joy the advance made in comfort and lux
ury in modern railway travel. Remember
the fare is no higher on this train, EXCEPT
between New York and Chicago, while the
accommodations and service place this par
ticular train conspicuously at the head OF
the list, when compared with other lines

THE NEW METHOD OF
BLOOD PURIFYING.
What the New Discovery in Medical
Science Has Accomplished.
Prompt Way to Cure Yourself symptoms Show That Your
Blood Is Out OF Order.
The EMINENT SPECIALISTS FREE OFFER TO ALL
READERS OF THIS PAPER.

For a great many years it has been
the custom for sick people to say: my
blood is out of order. 1t needs purify
ing. l feel all used up. My skin needs
clearing. My brain feels tired"
They are right, but do they act right Z?
They generally go and get a laxative
(bowel cleaner) to purify their blood.
Does their blood run through their
bowels?
Science has to-day furnished proofs
that all the purifying that your blood
needs, in fact, all that can be done,
must be done by your kidneys.
All the blood in your body passes
through your kidneys every three min
utes.
The kidneys strain or filter out the i'm
purities of the blood-thatisth their work
Purifying your blood is not a ques-
ton of taking laxative or physic.
Does your blood run through your
bowels?
What the bowel-cleaner does is to
throw out the poisons confined in your
po"eis reauy LOT absorption into your
blood, but the poisons which are already
in your blood, causing your present
sickness IL lcdres there.
There is no other way of purifying
your blood except by means of your kid
neys.
That is why bowel-cleaners fail to do
their work-they fail to help the kid
neys.
When you are sick, then. no matter
what you think the name of your dis
ease is, the first thing you should do is
to afford aid TO your kidneys by using
DR.. klmer's Swamp-Root the great
Kidney Remedy.

Pennsylvania.
The only ships officers now on the
Grant that have remained with her
since leaving New York are Chief En-
gineer Lindley and Chief Steward Her
bert. All the others left on reaching
San Francisco. Chief Steward Herbert
is caterer of great experience, with
a vast army of cooks and helpers
under him.
The Grant is at Pacific Mail dock,
where she will probably be open for
inspection by the public today. The
difference between the Grant and the
transport Sherman. which was recent
ly here. is very slight, the former be-
ing few feet longer. Four guns were
originally on the Grant, three being
left behind at Manila. which will be
replaced upon her arrival there.
Three small urchins slowed away on
the Grant when she sailed from San
Francisco and were taken care OF by
the soldiers on board. They will prob
ably be taken on to Manila and then
back home again.
