IF YOU HAVE PAIN IN YOUR BACK,

let us give you a piece of advice: Pain in
the back is an almost infallible sign of
Kidney disease; a surer sign is the con-
dition of your urine, if you have a
pain in the back then look to the con-
dition of your urine. 1t is easily done.
Take glass tumbler and fill it with
urine; after it has stood "a hours, if it
has a sediment, if it is milky or cloudy,
if it is pale or discolored, stringy or ropy,
your Kidneys and Bladder are in dam
gerous condition and need immediate at
tention, or the consequences may prove
fatal.

diseases of the Kidneys, Liver, Bladder

relieves the desire to urinate often,

ALGER LIONIzED.
Detroit Makes Holiday to
Do Her Favorite Son
Honor.

Detroit, Aug. 2.-Gen. Russell A. AL
ger was rendered a magnificent well
come this evening by the people of his
own city and state. From O'clock,
when the welcoming committee entered
his private car at Toledo, until nine
o'clock, when the general ceased shak-
ing hands, the scene was constant
ovation.
Smiles and tears repeatedly struggled
for the mastery of his countenance, as
he gazed into the faces of the multi
tude, who loudly insisted that "Algel
is all right"
Darkness fell during the speeches
from the reviewing stand in front O
the city hall, and a searchlight wa
thrown upon the features of Gen. AL
ger, drawn in crayon on a canvas 16 fee
square, hung from the city hall from
and surrounded by patriotic decora
tons. A great crush at an indoor re
ception was the final feature.
When the train bearing Gen. Alge
arrived his old friends gave him
warm welcome. A procession of 100
escorted the general to the reviewing
stand When the general appeared OIL
the stand a war Of applause from
large crowd greeted him. After a pa
rade, which the general reviewed
speeches of welcome were made b,
Mayor Maybury and Gov. Pingree.

AFTER MORE ISLANDS.
Reported That Government Has Pur-
chased Wellington Groun.

Washington, Aug. 2.-The cabled re-
port that the American minister to
Chile has purchased various islands OF
the Wellington archipelago, with the
object of establishing coaling stations,
is discredited at the state and navy de-
partments, although it is regarded as
possible that Chile has offered to sell
Islands in that vicinity to the American
minister and perhaps he has mailed to
Washington a report on the subject
which has not yet been received.
The desirability of such coaling sta
ton in the possession of the United
States at the extreme end of South
America, has been more keenly realized
in the last year than ever before on ac-
count Of the rapidly increasing trade
between the Atlantic and Pacific and
the frequent changes naval vessels are
compelled to make between the two
oceans. The long cruise has been
twice performed by the Oregon within
a year, and last winter the Iowa had
to be sent around from New York to
San Francisco.

LARNED WON'T ENTER.
Discouraged BY Defeat, Tennis Expert
VIII Not Go to Newport

Southampton, N. Yin the match be-
tween young E. P. Larned and Alfred
Goldman, Larned was defeated by the
Longwood club expert. Young Larned
has improved greatly in his form and
gave the Bosconian all he could attend
to. Goldman won the first set, although
his opponent forced the games to deuce
and vantage. BY his fast and clever net
play the youngster had his adversary
on his feet in the next two sets and
took them easily. But the older man
steadied at this point and won the
fourth and fifth sets and the match.
Leo Ware, in playing against Ferd
Huntington, was placed at disadvan-
tage by successful lobbs of his oppon-
ent, but he overcame the lead Of Hunt
ington and by clever play he won in
four sets. The national champion, NAL
colin D. Whitman, completely smoth-
cred the young Yale player, Owen John
son. The latter scored but one game out
OF nineteen against the champion. Skid
more was badly defeated by the fast
Harvard player, Cyclone" Davis. At
no time was Davis forced to let himself
out, but he showed himself to be in ex-
cellent form.
w. A. Larned feels his defeat of this
morning keenly, and talks of abandon
ing his intention to enter the national
meeting at Newport. The drawings for
the doubles were made this evening,
and the matches will be started tomor-
row. There are eight teams entered,
among them being the veterans and
Taylor, the old-time champion in this
event. The other teams are Ferd and
Bob Huntington, Goldman and Wins
low, Whiteman and Ware, the Larned
brothers, Allen and McKettrick, the
colt" Harvard players, Davis and
Ward and Pell and Skidmore

FOUR MORE CASES.
Disease Spreads, But Health
Authorities Have 1t
Well in Hand.

Washington, Aug. 2.-Advices re-
ceived by Surgeon Gen. Wyman up to
o'clock tonight from Hampton, show
that the only change in the yellow fe-
yer situation is the addition of four
suspected cases to those already in ex-
istence. These have been sent from the
camp to the hospital. This information
and the additional statement that there
had not been a death since Z O'Clock
last night and that everything with
reference to the disease Is more than
favorable, was received from Gov. +.
T. Woodfins Soldiers home. He also
wired that he is quite sure that the
disease will be stamped out.
From DIR. White, who has general
charge of affairs at Hampton, the sit
uation is unchanged. Gov. Woodf1n has
prepared a list of all members of the
home who have been furloughed since
July %, giving their destination. THIS
will be telegraphed to Sur
geon General Wyman and will
be spread broadcast, thus enab-
ling municipalities where the inmates
may be, to detain them for a reason
able time.
Dr. Wyman telegraphed to the health
authorities of Baltimore and Rich
w.
ing taken regarding refugees from
Hampton and from rPheobus. Replies
have been received from both places,
showing the officials ability to cope
with the situation. Surgeon FarQu-
hart, at Portsmouth, reports finding
four colored people who had been at
Hampton. The authorities sent them
back to Hampton. DR.. Wyman does
not think such a course safe, and has
directed Surgeon Farquhart thereafter
not to send such persons back to
Hampton, but to have them taken to
Craney Island, where they may be de-
tanned under observation. Arrange
ments have been made to send to the
home two immune male and two i'm
mune female nurses and two immune
physicians.
The removal of troops from Fort
Monroe and the officers and their
families, 1t is expected, will begin to-
morrow when a passenger steamer is
scheduled to leave for Cape Charles.
A barge with cars is expected to go to
the reservation tomorrow to take the
baggage and equipment of troops over
to Cape Charles.

OFFICERS RESIGN,

RESERVATIONS WERE TABLED.
Lady Friends of the Club
Engineer a Pleasant
Surprise.
RESERVATIONS WERE TABLED

President c. w. w. Morse, Capt. A,
V. Amsden, Secretary Charles S. Scott
of the Newport Bicycle club, resigned
from their offices in that organization
at a meeting last evening. President
Morse and Capt. Amsden merely re-
signed from the Office that they now
hold, but Secretary Scott resigned from
the office and the club. Ex-P President
w. w. Lewis, C. L. Curtis, George f !,
Clarke and A. w. Preble, members of
the club, also resigned from the or
ganization.
The matter came as a surprise to the
majority of the club members, and no
action was taken in regard to accept
ing the designations. 1t was decided to
lay the designations on the table for
two weeks, when a special meeting Of
the club will be held to consider them.
All the officers who have resigned and
the members that have resigned from
the club, state that the pressure of
business is alone the sole reason for their
action with the exception of Capt A.
v. Amsden, who states that he has held
years, and merely wishes to give some
one else a chance. If the club decides
to accept the designations at the next
meeting, then a general election will
De held to fill the vacancies.
Shortly after the meeting the lady
friends of the club, numbering rs or
80, under the charge of their chaperon,
Mrs. j. e. Hartland, invaded the club
house and presented the club beau
tiful United States flag. Miss M. L.
A. Liberty acting for the party, made
a neat speech, in which she rehearsed
the kindly feeling that the young la
dies always had for the Newport BIZ
cycle club boys, and of the interest
that they always felt in their welfare.
They intended that the flag should be
presented after the magnificent win
ming of the racing team at Westboro,
July 4, but there was delay in max
ing 1t.
The boys were taken wholly by sur
prise, but recovered and with their
usual gallantry proceeded to make the
guests feel at home. They decorated
the rooms with the assistance of a COM
mittee from the young ladies. The COM
mittee of the young ladies' who looked
after the decorating was Miss Viola
Bowers, Miss Hattie Anderson, Miss
Nettie Lavldie and Miss Edith G.
Sears. They covered the pool table
with ferns and made inviting little
hooks all over the club rooms. During
the evening a pleasing entertainment
was supplied by committee of Miss
Bessie Holman, Miss M. L. A. Liberty
Miss Eta Rice, Miss Eva Allen and
Miss Florence z. Morgan. During the
evening refreshments were served by
the following young ladies': Miss Ada
M. Goulding, Miss M. L. A. Liberty
Miss Bertha NJ. Keene and Miss Clau-
| dia Belcher
The entire affair." which was of ar
informal nature, broke up at an early
hour. The committee of ladies who
were so successful in bringing the sur
| prise about are Miss Ada M Goulding
chairman, Mrs. G.. w. w. Morse, Miss
| Florence E. Morgan Miss M. L. A
| Liberty.
