In fifteen minutes, with only a cake of Ivory Soap and water,
you can make a better cleansing paste than you can buy.
Ivory Soap Paste will take spots from clothing; and will clean
carpets, rugs, kid gloves, slippers, patent, enamel, russell leather and
canvas shoes, leather belts, painted woodwork and furniture. The
special value of Ivory Soap in this form arises from the fact that it
can be used with a damp sponge or cloth to cleanse many articles
that cannot be washed because they will not stand the free appEca-
ton of water.

Joseph H. Beers, of Trenton, t~estifies
that he caught a severe cold which settled
on his lungs; was treated by his family
physician for 2 months, but grew worse.
He told him he had consumption and no
medicine could cure him. A friend of
the family advised him to get Stretch's
Balsam. He bought a bottle and to his
delight found prompt relief. He con-
tinued its use, and after taking six bottles
found himself sound and well, able to do
his work, and feels as well as he ever did.

sell Stretch's Balsam in % and so cent

hostilities now in course OF progress in
South Africa constitute a state &C war be-

since the 11th of October between EEglan..
and the South African Republic and the
Orange Free State. This notice appears TO
be couched in similar terms TO those ad-
dressed by the British government to the
governments Of Continental Europe. 1t will
probably not materially affect the United
States. except to enable the government to
deal vigorously with any persons who at
tempt to recruit in the United States for

Chicago Preachers Say Football on
Thanksgiving Day Is Wrong.

CHICAGO, Nov. 27.-Football as Thanks
giving pastime was strongly condemned to-
day at a meeting Of Congregational minis
ters of this city. Resolutions were adopted
after a sharp discussion in which the prac-
tice of playing football on Thanksgiving
day was characterized as "Disloyal contra
vention of the Presidents proclamation and
contrary to the spirit and purpose of the
day" The resolution also says that "such
conduct is especially deplored in organiza-
tions connected with Christian Institutions
Injuries the best interests Of college ath-
letics and must be pronounced desecra-
ton Of the noblest spiritual tradition of our
national life by the very persons and insti-
tutions whose privileges and character re-
quire them TO be the first to uphold and
honor the same"
Copies of the resolutions will be sent to
President Mckinley and to the presidents
of the respective universities named in the
resolutions-Wisconsin, Chicago. Michigan
and Brown-whose teams play in Chicago

Something New in Wireless TeIe-
graph Experiments.

CHICAGO, Nov. 27.-Prof. W. S. john
son and c. l.. Fortier, of Milwaukee, to-
day made a successful test in this city of
the wireless telegraph. They succeeded in
telegraphing without wires through suite
of seven rooms With all rooms closed and
through seven walls.
Another test was made. when the signals
were conveyed through three fireproof
vaults and an ordinary telegraph switch
board in which thirty wires were connected
up and about forty dead wires were located.
Notwithstanding the fact that this switch
board contained live wires, the current
passed through all of the vaults and
through this board. This is one OF the most
severe tests that has ever been given wire
less telegraphy.
a third test was made in which the send
ing instrument was placed inside of one of
the steel vaults and both doors were closed
and the combination lock turned The sig
natures were then transmitted clearly from
the inside OF the vault TO an adjoining room
The professor claims that his invention
Is materially different from that of Marconi
and that instruments can be constructed to
be carried on horseback and be ready for
operatiOn within few moments after they
have reached their destination The send
ing instrument used to-day was intended
only for short distances. The receiving in
strument, however. was complete and all
ready for use at any distance.

ADVICES FROM BULLER.
He Reports that HiIdyard Drove the
Beers on Beacon Hill.

LONDON, Nov. 27.-The War Office has
received the following dispatch from Gen.
Butler dated PietermaritZbUrg, Sunday.
Nov. 26: "Hildyard. from Estcourt made
successful attack Nov. % with three bat
talions. one field battery, naval gun and
200 mounted troops on the enemy occupying
Beacon hill, which dominates William
Grange and had interrupted his communi-
cation. AS a result of the operations the
enemy is retiring and the railway and tele-
graph lines have been restored between Est
court and Weston. Our loss was about
fourteen killed and fifty wounded

lowing dispatch from the Governor of Natal,
dated Pietermaritzburg, Sunday. Nov. 20:
1.-The Beers are retiring on Weenan. Our

SOufherners Seeking Pay for Cotton
Seized During the Civil War.

COLUMBIA, s. c., Nov. Ex-Governor
Miles 3. McSweeney to-day addressed a
letter to the Governor of each Southern
State, asking for united effort to get South
ern representatives in Congress to work for
the passage of a bill to refund $1l 900 600
to Southern people from whom cotton was
seized by United States troops during the
war between the States. The cotton was sold
by the collector Of customs at New York
and the funds were placed in the United
States treasury. The United States Supreme
Court has decided that the government has
no right or title to these funds, which are
held for ultimate return to those entitled
thereto. But these funds cannot be recov-
cred except by congressional action, as legs-
lation is necessary before action can be
brought against the sovereign government.
BY special legislation some few claims have
been granted, but il is desired that Con-
gress remove all restraints so that lawful
owners or heirs may be reimbursed. A Sem
ate bill was introduced last year and was
reported favorably by the Senate committee
on claims, but was lost sight of in some
way.

miles of wire between this city and Chi
cago. Signals, consisting of the letters of
the alphabet, from "A TO G, were sent at
the rate of sixty thousand an hour, but,
owing to the great amount of induction to
be overcome and interference and inter-
ruptions with the wire. no actual messages
system, which has been successfully oper-
ated up to seven hundred miles, will work
at one thousand miles or more when
good wire is obtained and a sufficient bat
terry power provided.
In the experiments here two ordinary
telegraph wires were used to form a COM
plete metallic circuit, and the ground con-
nections commonly employed in telegraph
ing were dispensed with. Josef virag, one
of the inventors, was at this end of the
wire, while Herr Pollak was in Chicago
When the wires were finally found TO be
clear the signals were sent. They had
previously been punched in a roll of tape
by a perforator similar to that used in the
Wheatstone system. The tape was passed
through a transmitter containing a metal
cylinder. revolving at a high rate of speed.
Bearing down upon the tape were two
needles. AT each perforation needle COM
pleted the circuit and made a dot or dash
at the other end of the line. A small cleo
trio motor operated the transmitter In or
der to carry the signals through to Chicago
it was found that current of seventy-five
volts was necessary. After the signals had
been sent through the apparatus to Chi
cago an operator. using the ordinary key,
telegraphed back that they had been re-
ceived all right. AT this Juncture the time
for changing from day to night wires ar
rived, and the circuit was interrupted at
Buffalo. The experiments were then post
poned to another day.

BLOODHOUNDS LOOSED.

Huron county. over the murder this after
noon of Constable William Smith, and

the latter had fled. Bloodhounds were
placed on his trail.
