Cure by IIccd-s Sa-sapariiIa
After Others Fs:SS.
s'I was taken with neuralgia in my
head and eyes. Not long after this, a
scrofula sore appeared on my left cheek,
extending from my upper lip to my eye.
Other sores came on my neck and on my
right arm and one of my limbs. They
were very troublesome and painful and
soon became great running sores. My
face looked so bad that some of my
neighbors could not bear to look at me
and advised me to wear bandage, but
feared this would irritate the sore and
make it worse. So
Could Not Hide the Sores.
My niece, who was familiar with a case
similar to mine, which had been cured by
Hoods Sarsaparilla, urged me to try il.
Finally was persuaded to do so, and in
a short time 1 saw it was helping me-
The sores began to heal and the neu-
ralgia in my head was better. In a few
months the sores on my arms and limbs
all healed; those on my neck gradually
disappeared and now they are all gone.
1 have never had any symptom of scrofuIa
since. One large scar on my right arm is
all the sign that remains of my terrible
aff1iction. The neuralgia is also cured"

TRACY BEFORE THE PROBERs.


EX.Cab1net Oflciul Talks About tho
Ramnpo Water Company.
New York, Nov. 1.-The Mazet inves-
tigating committee resumed its hear
ings yesterday. General Benjamin F.
Tracy was the chief witness called.
General Tracy said in answer to Mr..
Moss questions that he was president
of the Ramapo Water company in 1895,
and that he had never received COM
pensation except $50 chares of stock,
which he has since sold. He had moth
ing to do with the drafting of any part
of the charter relating to water supply.
Among the reasons he gave for re-
signing the office of president OF the
company was that he felt that no COM
pany would advance the necessary
capital to develop it SO long as ono
man, Mr.. Lamont. who had induced
him to become shareholder, retained
control In addition he said the news
papers had begun to abuse him and
to Willy him for his partnership with
Senator Platt's son. Il though that as
WHOLE" he said, Il would not take the
responsibility of being the head Of
company that. however honest it
might be. would be abused If it made
a contract with the city,"
In order to ascertain just how much
money the law firm of Tracy, Board
man G. Platt received from city cor
porations and public departments and
city officials. Committeeman Hoffman
requested that Mr.. Tracy produce the
books of the firm. This General Tracy
said he would not do unless the COM
mittee requested, and Chairman Mazet
refused to make such request.

Ruata, Ont on Ball.
New York. Nov. 1.-Captain Dag
gett, of the steamship City of Augusta,
accompanied by counsel. appeared be-
fore the coroner yesterday and was
held in $4,000 bail pending an investi-
cation into the sinking Of the ferry
boat Chicago, which was furnished by
Superintendent Lefevre. of the savan-
nah line. The reports of Captain Dur
ham, of the Chicago, and Captain Dag
gett were filed with the local board Of
steamboat inspectors yesterday after
noon. Captain Petrie, of the board,
refused to mike the reports public
until he had finished investigating.
It Is not yet known how many lives
were lost. John Bryson, driver of a
mail wagon. is known to have been
drowned, his body having been recov-
cred Fireman Vroom, of the Chicago,
Is believed to be In the wreck. and two
others are reported missing who were
believed to be on the Chicago. The
police think the body Of woman found
in the East river is the body of one of
the victims of the collision.
Shortly before o'clock last night
the mail wagon which went down with
the Chicago was raised. There were
"a pouches and 86 sacks of mail mat
ter In the wagon All were recovered.
and it is thought no damage has been
done except by water. This morning
efforts were being made TO secure the
silver aboard the wreck. This is $4,000
in silver bars. which was In an ex-
press wagon.

Shamrock and Erin VIII Follow When
The Weather Moderates.
New York, Nov. by reason Of the
heavy southeast gale the yacht Sham
rock, which was to have sailed yes
terday, remained at her anchorage off
Liberty Island. The steam yacht Erin
is at anchor north of the Shamrock
and within hailing distance of her. Sir
Thomas Upton and a party of friends
went down the bay yesterday in tug,
visited the Shamrock and babe them
goodbye. Sir Thomas sailed for
Southampton at 10 o'clock this morn
ing. A reception was rendered him at
8 o'clock on the second floor of the
American line pier, whence he was
escorted from the Fifth Avenue hotel
by the Upton loving cup committee
and the Eighth Regiment band.

GENERAL SIR REDvERS BULLER.
don afternoon papers, to the effect that
before darkness Monday the Beers re-
occupied the old position held by their
heavy artillery. which General White
had reported silenced by the guns Of
the naval brigade from the Powerful,
and had opened fire again.
The dispatch further says: 1.-THE
enemy are again closing in, and the
situation is one of grave anxiety. Be-
yond doubt the Boer retirement on
Monday was ruse to draw General
White into the hilly country and away
from the British camp"
This last sentence ia significant, and
confirms the opinion of military ex-
pertR here that General White Is al
lowing himself to be outgeneraled by
Commandant General Joubert.
From the scanty advices received it
seems tolerably certain that the dis
aster was simple repetition of the
battle Of Majuba Hill, though on a
larger scale. The two regiments were
allowed to march into trap set for
them by the Beers. 1t is simply a
case of the Boer spider and the guile
less British fay. In fact. the whole
engagement of Monday seems to have
been brought on by Commandant Gem
eral Joubert. who skillfully conceived
a gigantic trap, out OF which, as the
official dispatch shows, Sir George
White only escaped with difficulty.
General White advanced with the
idea Of driving the Beers from the
hill seven miles out, which General
Joubert made an ostentatious show of
terrifying on Sunday. The Boer COM
mander left force sufficient to draw
General White on. while the mass of
the Beers he moved stealthily round
the British right to deliver a flank at
tack and to endeavor to cut off General
White from Ladysmith. The British
commander succeeded in beating off
the attack. but only with great diff
tlculty, and during the turning move
ment his troops suffered from flank
Ing fire.
About 5000 fresh troops will arrive
ct Cape Town on Sunday next from
England and will be available to re-
inforce Sir George White Transports
will arrive there daily after Sunday,
until by the end Of next week $4,000
troops will have been landed in South
Africa. These men are intended for
General sir Redvers Buffers army,
but they will undoubtedly be detached
to Natal II the situation there should
become perilous. The British army
will eventually reach the huge total OF
1854, Of which 69,6S4 will be regulars
and the other 10000 miscellaneous,
but excellent colonial troops.

the PRESIDENT AT RICHMOND.


Launching OF the Torpedo Boat Shin.
brick a Great Success.
Richmond, Va. Nov. 1.-The torpedo
boat Shubrick was launched here yes
terday in the presence of President Nc
Kinley, many members Of his cabinet.
Governor Tyler, of Virginia, and an
immense outporing of people. The
demonstration was marred in some of
its features by heavy rainstorm. The
civic carnival parade had to be aban-
doned until today.
When the presidential train arrived
presidential salute was fired, and at
Elba Station. In the West End, where
the president took carriage for the
Jefferson hotel, he was formally well
coined In speech by Mayor Taylor,
to which he made brief response.
Immediately after this ceremony the
president and party were driven to the
Jefferson hotel and held an informal
and somewhat enforced reception in
the Franklin street lobby of the build
ing.
After luncheon the presidential
party were driven to the shipyard, the
president being warmly cheered all
along the route. At the yard an i'm
mense crowd had assembled. The
president, having been introduced by
Mayor Taylor, delivered the principal
address of the day, and was followed
by Secretary Long.
The launching which followed was a
great success. the boat being christen-
ed by little Miss Carrie Shubsick, Of
Rocky Mount. N. c., great grandniece
of Commodore Shubrick, with the
usual formalities. 1t was a side
launching, but the boat took the water
like duck amid enthusiastic cheer
ing and the footing of steam whistles.
After the launching the president
and party took drive through the
city, stopping while at the executive
mansion to pay their respects to tho
governor and his family. On the presi-
dents return to the Jefferson he held
another formal reception, and left for
Washington on his special at ITO.

CHARGES AGAINST GARDINER.


New York's District Attorney At
tackled by the City Club. i
New York, Nov. 1-Governor Rooae-
welt was yesterday served with COPY
of the charges preferred against Asa
Bird Gardiner, district attorney OF
New York county, by the City club.
There are 20 counts in the charges.
which allege incompetency, wrongful
acts, neglected duty and general in
efficiency in discharge of duty.
District Attorney Gardiner declined
to make any statement in regard to the
charges. He said that he would first
wait until copy of the charges had
been served upon him and then he
would answer promptly and at the
proper time. He said that his depart
ment was always open to investigation
by any committee, and he courted tho
most strict investigation and scrutiny.
Richard Croker said that that was
just along the lines that Republicans
are going in this campaign. There's
nothing they won't do. The Republic
cans employ the legislature and every
thing for partisan purposes"

Important Decision Ofa Pennsylvania
Judge Regarding Apprentices.
Pittsburg, Nov. IAN important do
cision was handed down yesterday by
Judge White. of the county court,
against labor unions. The case was
one which caused great deal of COM
ment in labor circles all over the coun-
try. G. Flaccus. glass manufac-
turer, of Tarentum, Pa, brought suit
against the officers of the American
Flint Glass Workers union to prevent
them from inducing the apprentices
Of the plaintiff to join the union. The
decision holds that the plaintiff has a
right to operate his factory indie
pendently of the union. and that the
defendants have no right to persuade
his apprentices to become members of
their organization.
Referring to alleged rules of trades
unions which prevent young man
from learning trade without the con-
sent Of the union, the judge says:
such rules and regulations of these
trade unions strike at the first prin-
ciples Of personal liberty in free
country; they are oppressive and ty-
rannical; they are palpably unjust to
individuals and dangerous to the peace
and good order of society.
