Steal Gold, Silver and Jewels From .

A most audacIous theft has just been
committed at the cathedral of Peru
gia. The guard was going his rounds
about 4 o'clock in the morning, when
he perceived door opening into ...e
clOisters was open. He at once in
formed the authorities, who found that
several objects Of great value were
missing, says the Boston Herald. The
glass over an image of the virgin had
been broken and the diamond coronct
stolen. This was a present from the
ladies Of Perugia forty-three years ago.
The thieves also took away all the
vows" those articles given to the
Madonna or some saint by the faith
full, for some favor received, often legs,
arms, hearts, eyes. this meaning that
the giver had recovered the use Of the
same by the saints intercession. They
had all been removed, as, being of
precious metal, they were Of consider
able value. From another virgin they
took silver crown, and in order to
get ruby ring had broken a finger.
1t Is hoped these thieves" wiiisaot put
these valuables to any base use, but
will sell them for the needful money
with which to buy bread for the starv-
ing people of Italy. The removal
of these valuables has caused q great
hubbub in Perugia, where every effort
is now being made to recover them,

How much property a man will leave
when he dies depends largely upon his
health. The mar who suffers from ill
health stands little show of being a sue
cessful business man. The man who comes
to his desk in the morning with a head
ache, who suffers all day from dullness and
drowsiness, who goes to his meals without
an appetite and losses restlessly through
the night without sleep, is not likely to
leave a competence for his widow and or
phans. Success is even more dependent
upon health than upon ability.
Few men realize these truths. They
think that everything can be accomplished
by work, and that health is a secondary
consideration. Work is useless unless it is
good work, and good work is never done
save by a thoroughly healthy man.. DR..
Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery is the
best of all health restorers and health pre-
servers. 1t makes the stomach strong and
active. 1t sends a man to his meals thor
oughly hungry every time. 1t facilitates
the flow of digestive juices and makes as
similation perfect. It invigorates the liver.
1t purifies the blood and fills it with the
1ife-giving elements Of the food. 1t is the
great blood-maker and f~1esh-builder. 1t
tears down inert, half dead tissues and
builds new, firm, muscular flesh. 1t does
not build habby fat like cod liver oil and
does not make people more corpulent.
Mr.. John Brooks, of Boylston, Mass, writes: ~
write to tell you of the great benefit I have re-
ceived from DR.. Pierce's Golden Medical Discov-
cry. I was taken with a bad cold which settled
sumption and could not get we'll. I took Cod
Liver Oil and it did me no good. After taking
it four months l heard of your Golden Medical
Discovery and it saved my life"

A BOND is A BOND.

Chicago Tribune: I was lunching with
Sarah Bernhard during the fetes cele-
brated for the car. She had played be-
fore his imperial majesty the night before
at Versailles. The telephone rang and
after some parley madame's private sec
rotary came into the dining room and
asked the "divine Sarah to come to the
telephone in answer to a call from the
Elvsee. She excused herself INT then we
were highly amused at the end of the con-
versation we heard. After an exciting
debate Sarah returned to her guests.
What do you think Felix Faure and
three canailles want me to do?" said
she.
We none of us ventured a reply, al
though Clarin, who was present, looked
as if he might have offered an e%xplana-
ton.

LaWton Drives the Filipinos to
the Hills.
FIVE NORTH DAKOTA MEN
We're Killed in an Ambusi--The Brave
Act of One of the Soldiers
From That State.

Manila, April 1880 a. m.-Starting
in an easterly direction along the road to
Pansanghan a party of 70 sharpshopters
under Lieutenant Southern Of the Wash
ington regiment, came upon a trench
across the road about a mile out of Santa
Cruz Lieutenant Southern was wound
ed. The Americans then advanced with
mounted guns and the Fourteenth infan-
try battalions in the center, Linck's bat
TALON of the First Idaho infantry on the
right and Frine's battalion of the First
Dakota infantry on the left, both flank
ing. The trench was carried without loss
to the Americans. Pansanghan was
found deserted.
-Four monuments on the border Of the
village celebrate the proclamation of the
Filipino Independence issued last year,
and glorify "Aguinaldo, the liberator.'
The troops, on entering the abandoned
houses, found them in perfect order. A
few guerrilla shots We're exchanged and
one member of the Fourteenth regiment
was shot in the leg by a comrade, who
was aiming at a caribou. One Filipino
was killed and five were wounded in the
encounter beyond Tongas. This was an
ambush. Eight men of the North Da-
kota regiment, moving in single file
through the woods, received a volley
from a clump of bushes about so feet
away Only one got off unhurt. He
dragged a comrade with four bullets in
his body to the main force, and then led
the troops back to the spot of attack. The
Filipinos We're easily scattered.
Additional Filipino dead found north
of Santa Cruz swell the number of the
enemy killed on Monday to $50, including
Paole Aguirro, one of the leaders. and II
officers. According to the statement of
some of the prisoners the %F'ilipinos drove
100 Spanish prisoners and II priests about
Santa Cruz at the point of the bayonet on
Sunday night. -Four of the priests died
of starvation. 1t appears that the Fill
pinO force at Santa Cruz consisted of 800
rifles and 1000 bolos.
AS he lacks sufficient troops for garrl-
soning, General Lawton will Withdraw
from the towns entered. Not q house has
been burned, the only confiscation being
of pigs and chickens. 1t is hoped that
this respect for property VIII convince
the natives of the good intention of the
Americans.
At Pansang a woman was found hid
den in q basket and a youth buried in the
mud except as to his head. Both were
given food and money, much to their as
constituent.
Nj non-combatants are released with
American proclamations to be distributed
among their friends. and all church Valu-
ables are forwarded to the archbishop.
Lieutenant Brooke has brought to
Manila one of the captured steamers with
five of the American dead, 10 of the
wounded and so who We're sick. Most of
the sick attribute their disorders to the
Cuban campaign. Through treachery or
ignorance of a Filipino pilot, the steamer
was stranded one whole day, the proVl-
sions failed, and there was some suffering
on that score.

PLEADED FOR HER SAILOR LOVER

New York World: A beautiful m
dienne, a handsome young cadet and an
assistant secretary Of the treasury were
the principals in a little drama of true
love that has just come to its conclusion.
The cadet, r. L. Peterson, has resigned,
under pressure, from the Revenue Marine
Service of the United States.
The coincidence. Miss Charlotte Crane,
Of the Shenandoah company, has thrown
UP her engagement with Manager Jacob
Lift, and Assistant Secretary Spaulding,
of the treasury department., sometimes

great masses of silken brown hair and
big. sorrowful eyes-who shattered all the
traditions of the department for a brief
interval last week when S he pleaded for
her lover SO eloquently as greatly to mod
ify the severity of his punishment.

Cadet Peterson's sentence of dismissal
was committed to the acceptance of his
resignation, he is out of the service and

this summer, seems Indefinitely postpon-
