word for Chamberlain's Collie, Cholera

known and used this medicine in our
family for twenty years and have al
ways found It reliable. In many caser
a dose Of this remedy would save hours

ed We do not believe in depending

but we do believe that IL a bottle OF

might be avoided and in very many
cases the presence OF physician would
not be required. At least this has BEEN
our experience during the past twenty

Washington, July 8.-Governor The
odore Roosevelt, of New York, is 10
night the guest of the president at the
White house He arrivd here this af-
ternoon from Oyster Bay in response to
a telegraphic request from President
Mckinley to come to Washington for
a consultation.
Governor Roosevelt was met at the
depot by the presidents secretary, Mr..
Cortelyou, and driven direct to the
White house, where he was received by

ference between the two distinguished
men before dinner. Afterwards, TO-
gether with Secretary Hay, Secretary
Long, Attorney General Griggs and
General Corbin, they sat upon the
western veranda of the executive man.
sion for a longer consultation.
His visit set afloat various rumors,
amog them that he had been called here
to be rendered the office as secretary OF
war, to be given command of brigade
in the Philippines and to designate and
entire regiment for service there. He
declined to discuss these, protesting the
presidents purpose was merely to con-
suit him regarding the organization OF
the new volunteer army, especially the
personnel of the officers.
He was asked in SO many words
whether the president had rendered him
the secretaryship. He replied to this
question only with a laugh. The gov
ernor's best friends in Washington say
that, regardless of the facts as to the
presidents tender or failure to make
one, the governor would much prfer
his present position as chief executive
of the Empire state to fractional term
in the war department, and his treat
ment of the question tonight renders
this theory as to his attitude most
plausible.
Governor Roosevelt dictated the fol-
lowing interview to the Associated
Press:
The president has told me that he
wishes only recommendations based
upon the efficiency of the men recon-
mended and tht he will pay heed to no
others. The presidents attitude in the
matter in the face of the terrific polit-
lCdl pressure w WHICH He 10 dnu VIII po
subjected is such as to entitle him to
the support of all men who feel that
politics have no place in the army, who
feel that it is, in a peculiar sense, the
property of the whole country and that
in the giving of commissions and pro-
motions alike absolutely no considera-
ton should enter outside of the merit
of the men as soldiers.
my own recommendations will be
limited to the men l had under me, or
saw in action, and to the members OF
the New York volunteer regiments, OF
whose merits have, as governor, not
merely official knowledge, but also the
knowledge gained from personal inquiry
among their superiors.''

The Rush of Americans In Europe

London, July s.-Immense crowds of
Americans are now in London and so
great is the rush that the steamship
companies admit their inability to cope
with it. All the transatlantic COM
panies have ordered from one to four
new ships, but it is impossible for many
or these to be ready in 1900. The Amer
lean and North German Lines are
pushing work on their new vessels to
the utmost possible, but they hardly
hope to have them ready for the Paris
exhibition. The Atlantic Transport
Company has four vessels, averaging
10000 tons in course of construction.
They will be 600 feet long. The new
Leyland Liner, Winifredian, for the
Boston trade, had her trial today
Even the cargo boats are constantly
increasing their passenger accommo-
dations with the view of meeting the
growing demand for passa ges.

ihat Americans are generally more lib

The number of Americans residing per.

at $4,000. There are nearly as many
more during the average summer. al
though in years of expositions or spc-
cIalevents this figure is much increased.
New Yorker who recently returned
from London was impressed with the
small number of his fellow-citizens
who seemed to take up their residence
there. The number of New Workers.

1t is we'll known that many animals
appoint one or more of their number
to act as sentinels to guard against sur
prise while the rest are asleep or feed
ing or ut play. Among the animals
using the word in it's widest sense--that
are thus prudent may be named the
following: Wasps, ants, chamois and
other antelopcs, prairie dogs, wild
horses, rocks, swans, Austrian cocka-
toos, zebras, quails, certain monkeys,
flamingoes, New Zealand silver eyes,
slugs and other birds, marmots, mou-
fon and other sheep, seals, African wild
cattle, huanacoes, elephants, etc.
Perhaps the best known Of these are
the prairie dogs, who burrow their
homes in the earth in little villages,
with regular streets and everything.
All around these villages, bolt upright,
sit wise little dogs to keep lookout
while the others sun themselves at the
doors of their burrows or play. Let a
strange animal or a man appear and
one Of the little sentries at once barks,
and in another instant there is a twink
ling of heels, and not prairie dog is
TO be seen until the danger is past.
