Story of a Slave,

To be bound hand and foot for
years by the claims of disease is the
worst form of slavery. George ID.
Williams, of Manchester, Mich, tells
how such slave was made free. He
says: My wife has been SO helpless
for five years that she could not turn
over in bed alone. After using two
bottles of Electric Bitters, she is
wonderfully improved and able to do
her own work." This supreme rem
edy for female diseases quickly cures
nervousness, sleepness, melancholy,
headache, backache, fainting and
dizzy spells. This miracle working
medicine is a godsend to weak, sickly,
run down people. Every bottle guar
anteed. Only 80 cents. Sold by

came very much swollen and panied
him so badly that he could not walk
without crutches. He was treated by
physicians, also used several kinds of

yachts offered to tow Columbia back to
Newport. but as Mr.. lselin had preVi-
ously accepted the offer made from the
Associated Press tug, S. c. Hart, TO
stand by and take Columbia in tow. he
declined the offers.
The crew had the hardest work getting
the mainsail on deck. for the canvas was
weighed down with water and rendered
unmanageablc by the spars and rigging.
For some time no one knew just what
had heen the cause of the accident. for
there was certainly not strong enough
breeze Blowing to cause it. 1t was
finally found that the port spreader had
broken upward by the strain of the top
mast shroud, causing the topmast to
break off. The sudden breaking of the
spar, the weight of the topsail and clubs
coming against the starbOard masthead
shrouds. was too much for the steel mast,
and it instantly collapsed
The topmaSt shrOud. which Mr. Iselin
says was the cause of all the trouble,
was not in just the position to properly
support the topmast, which fitted into
the masthead, telescupic fashion, instead
of being stepped forward of ii.
No such serious accident ever before
befel cup challenger or defender ia
these waters as this one. The expense
of rerigging Columbia will be heavy. and
although most of he wire Shrouds and
stays can be used again, they will neces-
sarily have to undergo a severe test as TO
their strength. The hull of the boat was
not seriously damaged. the only per-
ceptable injury Icing a large dent in
