regarding the burial of Lord Herschell:

than a warship flying the Stars and Stripes
entering Portsmouth with the flag at half

TO RELIEVE VOLUNTEERS
They are Not Needed at Manila by
General Otis.

Washington, March I'm answer to the
direct question as to whether or not these
regular troops are intended to relieve
corresponding number of volunteer soldiers
at Manila, it was said at the war depart
ment that while this probably would be the
case, it would not be possible yet to make
a statement This means that when the
reinforcements arrive at Manila the condi-
tions being satisfactory, the volunteers
would be brought home, but II Gen. Otis
shall have need of all the combined force
then they must wait
The reinforcements are made up of troops
who are not only regulars In the full sense
of the term, but who have been through
the Cuban or Porto Rican campaign. They
know what it is to be under fire; how to
hunt Indians, and also how to fight in trop-
ical jungles. With them replacing the same
number of volunteers Gen. Otis will have q
majority of regulars in his command
something the war department has earnest
ly desired to bring about at the earliest
possible moment. The position of the
American commander at Manila also will
be safeguarded against the effect of a sud-
den and forced discharge of volunteers by
the ratification of the peace treaty.

ready for the alarms of the great Judg- ment Day.
 Our brother often wished for rest, al- most begged that he might get natural, refreshing leep. How sweet the music of never-endirg g rest that f0ated to his ears over the dark sea from the parapete of the Holy City of God! How delight ful to realize the truth, "There remain eth, therefore, rest to the people Of Gcdr' How soothing to know, "He giveth His beloved sleep!" Pilgrim, your weary feet blistered with the hot
 ands of the way, your aching head longing for the e'shelter of great rock in 8 desert land, hear it, "There is rest" Soldier, with the blood and stain of the battle upon you, fighting an unequal contest with the enemies of your soul, for you there is rest. Voyager, drifting hither and thither on life's great sea, tossed by the tempest, rocked on the wave, for you there is B quiet haven.
 Now word to you who were nearer and desrer to the one who is gone t t'an all the est of us. Jesus had but one place which He could call home; this was the home at Bethany. You remem- Der that the brother, Lazarus, was sick, sick even unto death. The sisters, Mary and Martha, were in distress. Jesus, ,their Friend, was in Perea, not far away. They send quickly for Him, saying that their brother is sick. And yet we read: IL s,o- eSz and Lazarus; when He had heard there fore that he was sick, He abode two days still in the same place where He was" It seems hard to recon cile these facts. If Jesus loved these of Bethany, why did He allow them to come into this distress and anguish? 1? Why dld He stay two whole days in Pe- req, thus increasing their suspense? Why did He suffer Lazarus to die, when so easily He might have turned the sisters grief to joy? Read the Bethany sto~y to the eGd, and you will see all explained. You will see greater revelations of truth made to the sisters than they otherwise could have known; you will see Jesus power displayed in the most startling miracle of His life; you will see broth- CT come back from far away shore, ,and 80 an added j)Y given in welcome wholly unexpected. My friends, we are read iog another such story now; we have read only few pages in the book as yet. Wait until we reach the last page and the last line, and you will see that God has made no mistake; but that out of your tears and groans and signs, and even through the furnace of sffilction, He has worked 8 far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory and formed a richer crown.

\ WAR INCIDENT,
How Besieged Army Obtained Drinking Water After Rain Soldiers Went Down on their Hands and Knees and
 Drank Water in the Horses HOof Tracks,
From ne Press, miroy, Ind.

One of the first to offer their services for the country in the Civil War, was A. R. Sefton, of Milroy. Rush County, Ind. He made good record, and when the great difficulty was set tied, was honorably discharged.
 To-day Mir. Sefton is 56 years old prami- Eent farmer, the head of a large family and notwithstanding the i'll effects of army life, is enjoying excellent health.
 There was period in MT. Sefton's life dur ing the war which makes an interesting story. He was member of the 38th Ills. Infantry which was often to the front in close busi- ness. The life of every soldier is hard one, and Mr. Sefton's case was no exception. We were in Tennessee, penned in on all sides. Our 'rations were very scarce said he, "snd we had begun to go on quarter al- lowaDce.'
 It was in the middle of August, the wells of the community were nearly all dry and we were some distance from any stream con- sequently we had great difficulty in getting water for cooking and drinking purposes One night there came a hard rain, and the next day we were started on the march. The sun shone hot, and our plodding along was very tlresome and oppressive. Every one of us had only 6 little water to drink, and as the gain was not enough to replenish the wells or streams, our canteens went empty. We were hurried on, and the only way to quench our thirst was to go down on our hands and knees and drink from the heof tracks made by the horses. Of course the water was muddy and very filthy. but it was case of this or die from thirst
 Some of us were taken sick from the effects of this, and I was one of them. I was laid up for several weeks in a field hospital from fever. Many times afterward became afflicted with different ailments. My kidneys

The Connecticut Supreme Court
GIVES AN ADVERSE DECISION TO THF
 VIEWPOINT SAVINGS BANK.

THE BEE is in receipt of the opinion of the Connecticut Supreme court in the case of the NewtOwn Savings Bank against Gordon B. Lawrence, formerly of Waterbury, which is of local interest. It was suit to set up and foreclose 8 lost mortgage deed, given to the bank in 1892, which through iradvertance WAS never recorded. The opinion seems to be a sound one, in that the court req sons that man is supposed to be worth
 what the record discloses, and as in this case the record did not disclose the mort gage it was presumed it did not exist. The suit was brought in April, 1895, and
 was decided by Judge George W.
 Wheeler of the Superior court in favor of the bank in June, 1898, and reversed
 by the Supreme court on January 4, 1899.
 The opinion follows:
 Argued October 27, 1898. Decided
 January 4, 1899.
 Hall, J. Neither of the defendants
 admitted the allegation of the complaint
 that Hart was appointed trustee under 8
 voluntary assignment of Lawrence.
 Both defendants admitted that he wae
 duly appointed trustee. Further, as to
 his appointment, the defendant Kelly
 alleged that he had no information suf- ' ficient to form belief; while the de. fendant Hart, himself the trustee, alleged
 that he was so appointed upon the peti. ton of a creditor of Lawrence. Under these pleadings the burden was upon the
 plaintiff to prove that the proceedings ir
 insolvency were voluntary, had that
 alleged fact been 8 material one. Prac
 tice Book, p. 15, Rule ", Sec. 4.
 In the absence of any evidence upor
 that point it could not properly be as
 sumed that the assignment was volunta ] ry. From the fact that no proof wa offered it would rather appear that tn, } plaintiff was satisfied to accept the state ! ment of the trustee's answer, that hi appointment was under compulsory pro ceedings in insolvency.
 \ But we do not regard it as material |, , the rights of the parties in this cag
 whether the proceedings in insolvenc. } were voluntary or compulsory. The al 3 legged voluntary assignment of Lawrenc f was ssof all his property including tb B real estate so mortgaged to the plaintiff. g A voluntary assignment in insolvenc 5 must, under the statute, embrace all tn : property of the aesignor, with certai ? exceptions not material to this case t General Statutes, Sec. 50l. By Sectio {. 5O7 of the General Statutes, the truste d is appointed 'sto take possession of, mar < age and dispose or all the debtor n property, with certain exceptions, an 2 all the property owned by the debto d Sat the time of filing such petition, 8 with said exceptions, vests in sue 8 trustee.
 j. IT under voluntary assignment th e i title of the trustee is by force of the con | mon law, and in involuntary insoivenc t by force of the statute, he takes in eiths j. oaae the same title to the same eslat ].

 Y From that time was always afflicted more or less My doctor said I had kidney and stomach trouble, and my heart waa also affected. As the years went by it seemed that was growing gradually worse, and my physician could do nothing to restore my lost health. Every year during the fall I would have severe attack, lasting two or three months.
 About four years ago I became much worse. Our family doctor seemed puzzled over my case, and it began to look as if there was no hope for my recovery, and that the inevitable end was near.
 Last November was advised to try Dr. Williams Pink Pills for Pale People. The physician said that although they were an excellent medicine. they would do no good in . case such -ss mine. But tried them, and now am glad did for I began getting better almost at once. Eight boxes, taken according to directions cured me. used the last of the pills about a year ago, and have not been troubled with my ailments since"
 The power of Dr. Williams Pink Pills for Pale People in the vast number of diseases due to impure or poisoned blood, has been demonstrated in thousands of instances as re- markable as the one related above.
 These pills build up the blood by supply ing its hfe-giying elements, which nourish the various organs stimulating them to &C., tiyity in the performance of their functions and thus drive disease from the system. No one who is suffering can rightfully neglect this way to restore health. Physicians and drug gists consider Dr. Williams Pink Pills for Pale People a potent remedy, and Isrgs quantities of the pills are used
