About one month ago my child,
which is fifteen months old, had an
attack of diarrhoea, accompanied by
vomiting. I gave 1t such remedies
as are usually given in such cases,
but as nothing gave relief, We sent
for a physician and 1t was under his
care for week. At this time the
child had been sick for about ten days
and was having about twenty-five
operations Of the bowels every twelve
hours, and we were convinced that
unless it soon obtained relief it would
not live. Ohamberlain's Colic, Chol-
era and Diarrhoea Remedy was rec
commended, and decided to try 1t.
soon noticed change for the better;
by its continued use a complete cure
was brought about and 1t is now per-

MISS BURHoP MARRIED.
Said to Have Been Secretly Welded in
St. Louis More Than a Year
Ago-Her Parents Not
Informed ofIt.

A telegram to the LEDGER from St.
Louis, received at II O'Clock Friday
night, intimates that Miss Mary Bur-
hop, daughter Of MIR. and Mrs. J. M.
Burhop, OF this city, was secretly mar
ried over year ago.
A visit to the young lady's parents
last night did not substantiate the re-
port. When called to his door Mr..
Bnrhop said that II his daughter was
married he knew nothing OF it.
Miss Bnrhop was in Mexico last
spring. Since she returned to st.
Louis, where she haa lived for two or
three years, the young lady has held
an engagement at the Suburban Thea
ire and before that she was employed
by a stock company ct the Grand
Opera House.
The announcement Of Miss Burhop's
marriage will create surprise among
those who know her in this city. She
is quite an attractive looking woman
and for some time has been rather
prominent in vaudeville theatrical cir
cles in st. Louis.

the waiter was great, hulking chap,

Judge him too harshly, think of what he

Certainly, the jockey club will not sus-

cause we believe in letting him f1ght his

had a battle to fight. We have had anony-

MIKE MORR|SSEY
AFRAID Of MAHER
Two Punches End Their
Fight.
THE CONTEST A FlASC0
COMES TO A CLOSE IN THIRTY
FIVE SECONDS.
Pugilist Heralded as an Invincible
Irish Champion Gives Evidence
of Fear on Entering
the Ring.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

NEW YORK, June 20.-Peter Maher, the
Irish heavy weight pugilist, scored a
quick victory over his fellow countrym an.
Mike Morrissey of Tipperary, before the
Lenox Athletic Club tonight. Morrfssey
had been heralded as an invincible Irish
champion. Maher sized his man up quick
ly and went for him. There was appar-
emily no fight in the newcomer. A light
punch on the breast and a right cross TO
the jaw were the only blows struck, and
these were delivered by Maher. The blow
that Maher landed on the jaw was insult
ficient to knock out any man.
Maher weighed ia pounds and looked
well. Morrissey had retinue of handlers
when he reached the ringside and said he
weighed 1S2 pounds. The moment the men
shaped it was clearly evident that Morris
sey was afraid and that Maher had the
easiest task ever given him.
Both fiddled for a few moments ana
then Maher went right for his man with
light left lead, which landed lightly on
the chest and sent his right over to the
Jaw. Morrissey fell in a neutral corner
and lay there resting on his right elbow,
while Maher strutted about the ring until
the referee counted off ten seconds. Maner
then walked to his corner and the master
of ceremonies announced that Maher had
won and that the time of the bout was 80
seconds.
