the following hot grog: "One third
goblet of Vim Mariani, with twO-thirdS
boiling water, cloves and cinnamon, and
with or without sugar, makes a groS of
exquisite flavor, which produces imme-
date beneficial effect in severe cases Of
cold, attended by conyulsive coughing
and depression. 1t is best taken at bed
time. In the grip epidemics in France
it was the tonic absolutely relied up0ny
and has received frequent deserved men

shown that patients recover very slowly
there is much general weakness and las
situde, invariably calling for something
in the nature of mild tonic stimulant,
and it has been found that Mariani Wine
is unequaled for such cases"
Dr. Cyrus Edison of the New York
Health Department has made a careful
study of the subject in his book on La
Grippe" published by Appleton and Com

Mariani and calls special attention to it
in the form of a hot grOg. In speaking
OF the complete prOSCfauOn accompanied

says it is excellent for the purpose IN

During the winter of 1897 Mr.. James
Reed, one of the leading citizens and
merchants of Clay, Clay county, W. Va,
struck his leg against a cake of ice
in such a manner as to bruise it Sc
verely. 1t became very much swollen
and panied him so badly that he could
not walk without the aid of clutches.
He was treated by physicians, also
used several kinds of liniment and
two and a half gallons of whiskey in
bathing it, but nothing gave any relief
until he began using Chambarllin's
Pain Balm. This brought almost a
complete cure in weeks time and
he believes that had he not used this

RUSSIA WILL ARBITRATE
THE SEIZURE OF SEALERS IN THE BEH-
RING SEA.
It is Agreed that There viii be but One Arbi-
traitor, Or. Asser a Celebrated
Dutch Jurist.

London. Oct. "a Russia. it has been
learned by the Associated Press, has at
last agreed to arbtrate with the United
States the claims resulting from the
seizure of sealers in the Behring Sea,
which has been pending for about eight
wears. A protocol between the two Gov
ernments has been drawn up, the final
formalities are expected to be concluded
next month, and the arbitration will
probably take the form of the Nenezue-
Ian court.
HISTORY OF THE SEIZURES.
Washington, October 24.-These
claims originated in the seizure by the
Russian authorities off the coast of 81
beria, of three American sealing vessels,
and the damages claimed aggregate
about $50. 900. The vessels were the
James Hamilton Lewis, the Cape Horn
Pigeon and the G.. ii. White. In each
ease the largest item of the claim is
on account of the sufferings of the Amer
lean officers and crew while under ar
rest. The cases differ from those
claims presented by British seaers
which were settled by the Behring Sea
arbitration, in the fact that while the
British vessels were seized by the Amer
lean revenue cutters on what the arbi-
tration declared to be the high seas, the
Russian men-of-war seized these Ameri-
can sealers within seven miles of the
Asiatic coast. 1t is matter of inter
est that for the first time the Russian
Government contends that marine juris-
diction of a country extends at least
this distance from the shore line instead
of being limited to a marine league, as
laid down by the old writer's on Inter
national Law.
The protocol through which the arbi-
tration was arranged was prepared in
st. Petersburg by United States Minis
ter Tower, and the Russian Foreign Of
fee. 1t was agreed by the parties that
there should be but one arbitrator, and
the person selected for that post is DIR.
Asser, a celebrated Dutch iurist, who
took prominent part in The Hague con
ference. The case will be submitted to
him as soon as the papers can be pre-
pared at the State Department.
