that should Prince Ching arrive in Pc
kin properly accredited France will
readily accept him and begin peace ne
gotaticrS. Ch.Ig - regarded as be-
ing a capable man and well fitted to

rather perplexiDg. especially in view
of the contradictory advices and 1t Is
believed in Paris that the appointment
of LII Hung Chang to act In conjunc-

hope that the powers will leave Pa
kin and negotiate Mt Tientsin or

troops of the powers are not leaving

story of the robbery and mutilation Of
the dead In Galveston and the death
of the offenders. The majority of the
ghouls were negroes, but there were
also whites, who took part in the des-
ecration Of the dead Some of them
were natives and some had been al
lowed to go over from the mainland
under the guise Of relief work. Not
only did they rob the dead, they mu-
tilated Eodies in order to secure valua-
bles.
A party of ten negroes were return
ing from looting expedition. They
had stripped corpses of all valuables,
and the pockets of some of the looters
were fairly bullying out with fingers
of the dead which had been cut off
because they were so swollen the
rings could not he removed. Incensed
at this dissertation and mutilation of
the dead, the looters were shot down,
and 1t has been determined that all
found in the act of robbing the dead
shall he summarily shot.
During the robbing of the dead not
only were fingers cut off, but ears
were strip rom the head In order
to secure es Of value A few gov
eminent pS who survived have
been ass!sr X in patrolling the city.
Private citizens have also endeavored
to prevent the robhing of the dead,
and on several occasions have killed
the offenders. 1t Is said that at one
time eight were killed and at another
time four. Singly and IN twos and
threes the offenders wee thus shot
down until the total Of those thus exc
cuted exceeds fully fifty.

The quickest and surest way to the
recovery of lost health, is by the use of
that radical and rational remedy, DR..
Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery. Dis
eases which originate in the stomach
must be cured through the stomach. A
host of chronic sufferers who had "doc-
tored p" for years for a diseased heart,
liver or spleen, have at last used Golden
Medical Discovery" for the blood, stom-
ach and organs of digestion and nutri-
ton, and found a perfect cure of the
hitherto incurable ailments. The most
convincing argument for trial of the
Golden Medical Discovery" is that it
has cured so many people "given up"
by the doctors.
There is no alcohol, cocaine, opium
or other narcotic in Golden Medical
Discovery

to you what your Golden Medical Discovery
and Favorite Prescription have done for me, /"

NEW YORK
David B. Hill Assumes Control of the
Party.

New York, June 6.-The democratic
state convention yesterday elected as
delegates-at-large to the national dem
ocratic convention David B. Hill, Rich
ard Croker, Edward R. Murphy and
Augustus Van Wyck, and nominated
for electors-at-large Frederick Cook
and Robert C. Titus.
The platform adopted contains no
reafirmation of the Chicago platform
of 1896, but a declaration that the par
ty in the state will support the plat,
for of the Kansas City convention. The
platform declared against war taxes
in time OF peace, declares for parity of
gold and silver as currency, demands
abolition of all customs and tariff du-
ties between Porto Rico and the United
States, condemns trusts and mo-
ropolies and entangling alliances,
demands just and liberal pension
laws and election Of United States
senator's by the people, and ia
vors the nomination of w. J. Bryan.
The financial plank is as follows:
1--WE favor both gold and silver as
the standard money Of the country, the
money Of the constitution and Of our
fathers-each to be maintained at
a parity with the other in pur-
chasing, debt-paying power-which
has. been the ~steadfast policy Of
the democratic party since the
days Of Jefferson, who declar-
ed that the monetary unit must stand
on both metals"
The convention gave promise of be-
ing very stormy, but ended quietly.
The particular feature Of the conven-
ton was the domination Of affairs by
ex-senator D. B. Hill. The silver men
profess to be satisfied with the result.

II you a woman or a man with

neither has dandruff to amount to any
thing. In nearly every case where wo-
men and men have thin, brittle hair,
they owe it to dandruff. There are hun
dreds Of preparations that Claim to
cure dandruff, but not one but Newbro's
Herpicide tells you that dandruff is the
result of a germ burrowing into the
scalp, and that permanent cure of dam
druff and its consequent falling and
badness, can only be had by killing the
germ; and there is no other propara-
ton that will destroy that germ but
Newbro's Herpicide. Destroy the
cause, you remove the effect"
