Beauty is born in the blood. Beauty
is more than skin deep it is blood deep
When the blood is tainted by disease the flesh
will feel it aud the skin will show it. Sallow
or muddy compilations, pimples, blotches, and
eruptions are only the surface signs of i'm
pure blood Face washes, lotions, complex
ion powders, may palliate the evils but they
cannot cure the disease The only cure is to
cleanse the blood of the poisonous matter
which is the cause of the outbreak in the flesh
and skin. Impure blood can be absolutely
purified by the use Of Dr. Pierce's Golden
Medical Discovery. Its effect on flesh and
skin is marked. Sores heal and disappear.

substance. Mr.. Miller and his sister,
Miss Lavonia Miller, are now stay
ing on Treat avenue, San Francisco,
and they are both convinced that the
silver thimble has worked up into his
shoulder.
There can be no doubt" said Miss
Miller that the little thimble so long
lost has been found, although we cam
not understand how it could get into
his shoulder. The thimble was a very
small one, and we believe that my
brothers trouble is caused by it,"
Not long ago Mr.. Miller decided to
have the thimble-or whatever It is
removed. He decided to go to the
Cooper Medical College and have it
cut out. He went to the college, and
as soon as he entered he heard the
groans of a man on the operating
table. Miller at once concluded that
it was more comfortable to carry the
thimble around in his shoulder than to
submit to the knives Of the surgeons
on the operating table. He walked
quickly to his wheel, flew away from
the hospital, and now his relatives are
persuading him to make another at
tempt.
Some doctors to whom the incident
has been told declare that If the
thimble shall be found in Miller's
shoulder it will be one of the most re-
markable things ever chronicled in sur
gerry,

THE DANGEROUS NAUTILUS.
Interesting Account of This Pretty
But Poisonous Marine Creation.

From the Boston Transcript.
c. F. Holder gives an interesting ac-
count of his experiences with the ply
Salia, the nautilus-like denizen of
southern waters, which floats on the
surface with it's trailing fishing lines
extending far below. The balloon, or
float, is from two to five or six inches
in length; a delicate sac filled with
air, and tinted with many beautiful
hues, among which purple, pearl and
pink predominant. One end is elon-
gated like a finger and along the dor
sal surface extends a ruff1e which can
be raised at will, and becomes a perfect
SAIL richly tinted in red, yellow, pink
and silver. When the animal is at
rest the membrane is furled; at other
times it is raised two or three inches,
and, catching the wind, drags the ten
tacles at an angle of forty degrees to
the surface of the water. These are
purple. hair-lke objects, which look
very beautiful, as, crinkled and curly,
they drift through the water. But woe
to the unfortunate fish which, attract
ed by their bright appearance, touches
them. He is instantly inclosed by the
tentacles and stung to death with a
thousand darts. The tentacles are
covered with minute bombs, resembling
an elongated capsule, in the interior of
which is the dart, a thread with
branching points on either side.
But this is not the entire armament
of the physalia. The coiled dart or
lasso floats in a fluid poison of great
power, of the effect of which Mr.. Hol-
| der speaks from personal experience.
He was swimming in five feet of water,
when he passed over the tentacles of
a large physalia. The sensation as the
purple threads wound around the alb
domen and thigh was of molten metal
| being thrown upon the flesh, and the
shock was so great that he had to be
| assisted from the water. They tried
vainly to rub off the blue mass with
cloths, and then with knives, and final
ly razor was used. The flesh was
| raised as in a burn, the mass of darts
| apparently eating into the flesh The
case became alarming and a fatal ter
| mination might have resulted had aid
not been at hand. One singulr symp-
tom of the shock was an obstinate asth-
matte condition, which made breathing
almost impossible. 1t was several
\ weeks before the wounds were COM
pletely healed. and even twelve months
after the flesh had the appearance of
| having been tattooed in fanciful designs
| of blue India ink. OF all the so-called
"stinging animals" found in the sea-
the beautiful physalia is probably the
most dangerous.

TRAVELS OF A THIMBLE,
Found in a Mans Shoulder After It
Was Swallowed.

thimble that he swallowed forty years

Forty years ago Miller was a very
little fellow. He was playing around his
mothers feet while she was doing some
sewing. A knock was heard at the
door. Mrs. Miller answered It, and
when she returned her silver thimble
could not be found. The little boy said
he swallowed it, but his story was
hardly credited, although nothing
more was ever seen of the thimble.

a cancer was growing. He was examin-

ERRONEOUS IMPRESSIONS.
The Average Man Knows Very Little
About the True Indian.
From the Atlantic.


We cannot deal with the Indian OF to-
day unless we know the Indian of yes
terday. The average man seldom thinks
about Indians, and when he does he
thinks of them either with entire in
difference or with contemptuous dis
like. He is moved in part by that mar
rowness which leads us to despise
those who in appearance or by birth
or tradition are. different from our
selves-the feeling which leads many
white man to speak with contempt
OF negroes or Cinnamon. More weighty
than this feeling, however, is the in
herlted one that the Indian is an en-
eny, who from the time he was first
known has been hostile to US. Even
nowadays most people seem to think
or the indian only as a warrior, who is
chiefly occupied in killing women and
children, burning homes and torturing
captives. From the days when they
fought the Pilgrim Fathers, and then
the settlers of the Ohio valley and later
still the emigrants crossing the plains.
nine-tenths of all that has appeared
in print about Indians has treated them
from this point of view; and the news
portion OF the reading matter of the
American public, seldom print anything
about the Indians except in connection
with massacres and uprlsings. The ef-
feet OF all this literature on the popu-
lar estimation in which the Indian is
held has been very great.
The popular impressions are entirely
erroneous. The Indian was a fighter.
yet war was only an incident of his
life. Like any other human being he
Is many sided, and he did not always
wear his war paint. If he has a repul-
slVe aspect. there are other sides of his
character and some of them pleasing.
II from one point of view he may ap-
pear to the civilized man ferocious and
hateful, from another he seems kindly
and helpful. The soldier sees the In
dian from one point of view only. the
missionary from another, the traveller
from a third, the agent from a fourth.
Each OF these is impressed by some
salient feature of his character. vet
each sees that one only or chiefly and
the image shown Is imperfect, ill-pro-
portioned and misleading.

RAILROADS AT WAR.
Rival Companies Fight for a Right
of Way.

Wheeling w. Va, Jan. 15.-The
Wheeling and Lake Erie and Cleve-
land, Lorain and Wheeling railroads
are engaged in a right of way war
over the river at Martins Ferry. Last
week the first round was fought and
resulted in the Wheeling and Lake Erie
getting in its switch in the disputed
territory and across the tracks of the
other road. This work was done in the
dead of night. Since then the Wheel
ing has had an engine standing across
the new track, guarding its forcibly
acquired possession.
This afternoon, however, the engine
was sent away for a fresh supply Of
water, and at once the Cleveland, Lo-
rain and Wheeling got in its work.
First the other company's engine was
blocked from again establishing it's
blockade, after which a force of men
tore up the newly laid tracks of the
Wheeling and also established it's own
blockade at the disputed point In ad-
dItion, a Wheeling and Lake Erie car
was shot over a switch into the Ohio
river which is now at a high stage,
and the car is entirely submerged. Two
Cleveland, Lorain and Wheeling cars
were deraiied and badly damaged. The
afternoons work was witnessed by a
large and interested crowd.

PURSUED BY A PHANTOM.
Hallucination That Caused Miss

Baltimore, Jan. 15,-Miss Anna Mary

OF the late Colonel William Louis
Schley, poet, lawyer and veteran Of
two wars, and second cousin of Rear
Admiral Schley, committed suicide to-

mental condition became alarming to

This afternoon her sister, who had
been chatting with her, went below

The one missing district is the Second
OF the Twelfth ward, but it alone could
not possibly change the position of any

for Goblin al the last election. In this
district the vote for Fowler and Rims
land has, however, been obtained and
Is included in the totals. This vote
was IL for Rinsland and 2 for Fowler
John Metzheiser, of Orchard street
and Irving avenue, return Judge for
the missing district, is the only one of
the sixty return judges who had not
read his printed instructions. He re-
fused point-blan to reveal the returns
to a Tribune reporter, although in
structed to make a copy of them pub
lie. Chairman Chittenden was not at
all satisfied with Metzheser's motives
and last night issued several written
orders for him to do his duty, but he
could not be found.
THE SYSTEM.
The Crawford county system, under
which the nominations were deter
mined, was. until Saturday, new and
untried as far as Scranton is con-
cerned. Everything about it was new
including the ballots and return sheets
The polls closed at O'clock, but at
midnight returns had been received at
headquarters in the Central Republi-
can club rooms from all but seven dis
tricts, among them being the First
district of the Seventh ward. in which
district no vote was recorded.
While there are a number of omis-
sions in the new city rules, the points
involved are fully covered in the rules
of the county Republican organiza-
tion. The temporary chairman of to-
morrow's committee meeting. the call
or which appears elsewhere in The
tribune, will rule that the county
rules, b 1ng higher party authority, will
be applied where the city rules are in
sufficient This taken into considera-
tion, the city committees power Is
ample to meet any irregularHy in the
returns or elsewhere.
The committee will meet at 2 O'clock
tomorrow afternoon in the Central Re-
publican club rooms and make the Of
ficial count.
VOTE COMPARED.
The total vote polled is a little more
than the Stone vote, is within 25 per
cent. of the vote for Mckinley and
within 10 per cent. of the full regular
Republican poll. The large number of
candidates makes it impossible, how
ever, to determine the vote exactly
but the comparisons are approximately
correct.
There was no effort on the part of
Democrats to vote. They stood by and
watched proceedings.
In every district perhaps not every
candidate received votes, but every
district distributed it's votes among
the candidates, fact which is con-
strued as a forceful argument for the
honesty OF the new system.
In the returns which have been seen
by Chairman Chjttenden and other
members of the city committee, very
few votes appear to have been lost
by bad marking.
1t is proved by the result that the
position OF the names on the printed
ballots had nothing to do with a cam
iidate's success or failure. Evident
y the voters examined every name on
he list and selected the ones desired.
