Discovery

~ have been thinking Of writing to
you for some time," writes Mrs. w. D.
Benson, of Maxton, Robson Co., N. c.,
Ito let you know what a wonderful thing
DR.. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery
did for my little boy. He was taken
with indigestion when he was . year
and a half old, and he was under the
Doctors treatment for five long years.
W. spent all we made for doctors bills,
and it did no good. He could not eat
anything only a little milk and cracker,
and sometimes even this would make
him sick, and he got very weak; could
not sit up all day, and l gave up all hope
of his ever getting any better. Looking
over one Of your books l noticed Dr..
Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery rec
commended for indigestion. We bought
some and gave to our boy. Two bottles
of DR.. Pierce's Golden Medical Discov-
cry cured him. He is we'll as can be,
and can eat anything that he wants and
it does not hurt him. He has not been
sick a day since, and it has been three
years since he took your medicine. I
pray that God will always bless you and
your medicine"

THE FIRST BLOODSHcD.

Sergeant Douglass Killed While on Duty
at the Scene of the Craton strike.
CRoToN LANDING. n. Y, April 49,
The first bloodshed as the outcome OF
the strike at the Cornell dam was that
of Sergeant Robert Douglass Of the
eleventh separate company at Mount
Vernon, who was shot dead by an un.
known assassin while he was relieving
guard at $3.50 p. II. The point where
the sergeant fell is known as Post Ten,
which was in charge Of Corporal Nc
Dowell. Douglass was talking to the
corporal and the other members Of the
guard when he suddenly clapped his
hands to his stomach and said: load
boys, I'm shot," and Immediately fell
to the ground. 1t was pitch dark at the
time, but Mcdowell and the others fired
a volley into a clump Of bushes nearby
without hitting anyone. No IL saw
the flash or heard the sound of the shot
which killed Douglass, and it was a
most mysterious affair. Meanwhile the
men picked up the fallen sergeant and
carried him down the hill on a stretcher.
but as soon as they reached Douglass
tent the poor fellow died without saying

gering, Jim leapee~ after him, landing an
other left smash on the same spot and the
Kid dropped TO the floor. Mccoy bravely
tried to get up, but these three blows
had taken all his strength away, and while
he made frantic endeavors TO get up. ref
cree Charley White counted off the omi-
nous ten seconds. BY an almost superhu-
man effort Mccoy stood up after he had
been counted out, but he was dazed and
the referee had to push him towards his
corner, where his seconds took him in hand.
Inside of two minutes Mccoy walked out
of the ring, closely surrounded by his han
dlers, as he was tottering on his feet.
Meanwhile Corbetts friends had jumped
into the ring and surrounded the big fel-
low, showering congratulations upon him
when he was announced the winner. Those
who thought that Mccoy had the punch
that wins backed their opinion ana lost
their money, as Corbett proved the strong
er and better man.
After the men had retired to their dress
ing rooms referee Charley White, when
asked his opinion of the fight, said: 1T
was one of the fastest and cleverest fights
/ have ever seen. Corbett and Mccoy are
two of the cleverest men in the ring to-
day, and Corbett won by superior feint-
ing and slugging did not like Jim in the
first round, as he was too nervous. and
Mccoy was outpointing him, but after
they came up for the second round Jim was
more composed, and from that point until
he delivered the finishing blow he proved

both men was wonderfully clever and fully

Many Came Back to the United States
Penniless and without
Change of Linen.
STRANDED AT NEW YORK
WHERE THEY ARE AWAITING RE-
MITTANCEs FROM HOME.
Victims of n "PersOnally Conducted
Tour Through EurOpe-Bag-
gage Lost Somewhere.

NEW YORK, Aug. 30.-Many Of the 42O
Christian Endeavorers who reached this
port from Europe yesterday on the North
German Lloyd steamer Aller are unable to
proceed to their homes by reason of lack
of funds. Neither had any of the 420 any
baggage when they arrived, lacking even
change of linen. They tell narrowing sto-
ries Oh their experiences abroad. They re-
port the continent of Europe to be dotted
with ill-used Christian Endeavor tourists
Two thousand Endeavorers sailed from
this port on July by the steamer Trave.
The contingent just arrived on the Aller is
the advance guard of the army of hard
luck that is returning from the continent
as fast as money from home will bring
them from interior points to Cherbours or
Southampton, where they meet the steam
ers Their passage home had been paid.
The pilgrims on the Aller were from
Philadelphia, Maryland, ST. Louis, Mem
phis and other points in the South and
West. The majority of them are stranded
in New York awaiting remittances to take
them home. They are well-to-do persons.
at that Last June they paid from $500 to
$500 to a tourist agency to take them to
London Tor the lnLerndllOndl convention OF
Endeavorers, and from this across the con-
tinent on various personally conducted
tours.
Mrs S. j. Edwards. of St. Louis, one
of the party, says that the first troubles
came in the fact that the agency assigned
one guide and two baggage men TO a party
of $50 tourists. The baggage men insisted
on trying TO drink up all the liquor they
saw between London and Italy, and as
result the baggage was hopelessly mixed.
The hotels the tourists were assigned to
were for the most part OF such a char
acter and so limited In accommodations
that the sightseers suffered all sorts of
inconveniences. Parts of their tours, which
were to be made in carriages. had to be
taken on foot and finally at Maringen the
guide informed them that the managers
would have TO abandon the tour through
lack of funds. and the excursionists would
have to pay their own fare to Cherbourg
Then those not well supplied with money
had to borrow from those better fixed
and the French seaport was reached. Here
they were informed that their trunks had
been shipped on the Kaiser Wilhelm der
Crosse. and so the return trip across the
ocean was made with simply the clothes
they had on their backs when they landed
at Cherbourg
