taminated by this deadly virulent poison.
Then sore or ulcer appears on some
part OF the body; it may be small and
harmless looking at first, but as the can
cerous cells form and are deposited by
the blood near the sore, it increases in
size and severity, with sharp shooting
pains. No matter how often the sore is
removed by the surgeons knife or flesh
destroying plasters, another comes and is
worse. The real disease is in the blood,
and the treatment must begin there. The
poisoned blood must be invigorated and
purified, and when this is done cancerous
cells can no longer form and the sore will
heal naturally and permanently.

A NEST OF THIEVES.
Wide RamiAca tions of the Plot to Steal at
Havana.


Havana. May 1.-THE extent of
the postal frauds is far greater than
originally expected. Besides taking in
the postal department the frauds seem
to include the Havana office and vari-
ous others throughout the island and
also to have extented to outside points,
which have been used for the sale of
some of the old issues of stamps order
ed destroyed.
The result of the investigation at the
local postoffice IL the suspension of
Postmaster Thompson. Moya and Ma
scaro, stamp sellers In the main office,
have also been arrested and further
arrests are expected tomorrow. Six
others have been placed under close
supervision and will be arrested as
soon as their services can be spared.
If all We're to be suddenly relieved
OF duty II would not be possible to
carry on the postal department Of Ha-
vana.
Reeves and Reynolds, auditors OF the
postal department, are still under ar
rest. All prisoners connected with the
frauds Will be imprisoned soon.
To-day arrests and the suspension
Of Mr.. Thompson did not take place
until after dark, consequently these
new features of the case are not gen.
orally known, but there Is n percept-
ible excitement at the postofiicc, where
no one knows who may he arrested
next.
The frauds ramified In almost every
direction. Even the rented boxes have

Natal.
London, May 15.-Once more the can
non have begun to speak In earnest In
north Natal. News reached London
yesterday that General Butler had
moved out In force from Ladysmith
and won an important victory by driv-
ing the Beers from the strong positions
In the rugged mountains Of the Big
garsberg range.
General Buffers turning Of the Big
garsberg position was made by bold
movement. The Beers had evacuated
Helpmaakar, but were making a stand
Monday evening at BleskOplaagte,
seven miles from Dundee. The corps
on the spot regarded this rs a rear
guard action. intended to cover the re-
treat Of the army,
AT the same time General Hilyard
took Indoba, and 1t Is reported that the
Beers withdrew in disorder.
General Butler, who seems to be em-
ploying his full strength, Is expected to
push on. His first marches We're forty
miles In three days. He is thus break
ing into British territory which had
been administered for six months by the
Transvaalers as though 1t were part Of
the republic, they holding courts and
levying taxes. His success, therefore,
has political as well as military conse-
Quences.
While Lord Roberts infantry are
concentrating at Kroonstad where
they Will rest for day or two, his
horsemen have penetrated eighteen
miles nOrthward. In the squadron
which cut the railway fifteen miles be-
yOnd Kroonstad was the American
scout, Frederick Burnham. Two hun
dred Beers who had hidden In the river
1ungles near Kroonstad to escape SER
vices have surrendered to the British
and taken the oath of allegiance.
East of BlOemfontein, General Run
die is advancing toward Ladybrand.
His troops and those Of General Bra
bant are stretched over n distance Of
thirty miles. The Beers are described
as quite disorganized and as retreating
northward. President Steyn's lieuten-
ants are trying to rally them.
The latest supposition concerning
General Hunter is that possibly he Ia

1t seems quite likely that the Pres
byterian church. North, will be called
upon again to consider a revision Of
the Westminster confession Of faith.
From various parts of the country
come statements made by Presbyter-
ian clergymen advocating revision or
a new creed. The venerable DR.. Theo-
dore l.. Cuyler OF New York. who has
been considered a conservative. is one
of the latest to declare that there are
certain parts OF the confession in
which he does not believe. Notable
among the overtures from presby-
teries asking for revision is a peti-
tion from the presbytery of Nassau.

to formulate a short and simple creed
which would unite and not divide"

Not the least alarming phase OF the
situation in South Africa is the fact
that the black natives out-number the
whites In the proportion OF twelve to
one. In the case OF prolonged con-
fiict between the Beers and the Eng
lish the attitude OF the natives is al.
together uncertain. In Cape Colony
there are 100000 white residents and
four times that number OF blacks. The
white population OF the Transyaai is
estimated at 100000. as compared with
$4,000 natives. In Natal the total
number of whites is not more than
10000. while the blacks number 530.-
900. In the Orange Free States tho
blacks outnumbor the whites In the
proportion Of nearly three TO one. In
Rhodcsia there are 100000 natives
and white population which rela-
lively amounts to nothing. In British
Central Africa $4,000 blacks are op-
posed to tiny band OF not more than

none of the long-haired men and

men who desert their wives ought not
be blamed for it; the culprits are
those who stand by their marriage

Anything Goes.

It is announced from Utah that the
state will probably go republican
this fall, as the Mormons believe it
will be to their interest to align them
selves with the republican party. If
this is the case, no doubt the next
Mormon congressman can go to Wash
ington and take all his wives along
with him without fear of rebuff.
There is nothing sentimental about
republican party policy, and they
would be likely to line up for Their

They W ere Married.

A bridal party was seen passing
along Parkerson avenue Wednesday
which after investigation, proved to
be Samuel Fleuitt and Mrs. Lou
Fettery.
A Signal man got on the track OF
the party and after some trouble
found the party at the Central M. E.
church parsonage, where he learned
the story of their presence there.
Both of the parties are well known
down in Vermilion parish. The par
ty started from below Gueydan at
O'Clock this morning and drove as
rapidly as possible 10 this city, reach
ing here about 10 o'clock. On their
way here they encountered many diff
ficulties, among which was the sink
ing of the bridal cab into several very
i =
deep mud holes, and crossing the
treacherous Gueydan bridge. 1t was
a great risk, but the groom showed
he was cheyalier of the true blood
and braced his feet against the dash
board and urged his steeds onward.
After reaching town they had some
difficulty in locating the right parson-
age, and after driving down. the
avenue and up Third street they were
finally instructed to the proper place.
Upon reaching the parsonage they
found the Rev. Campbell busily en-
gaged-making garden. However,
this worthy gentleman made {. hasty
toilet and was soon ready to perform
his duties in this solemn affair.
While the groom went out in
search of license, quite a number.of
friends dropped in and awaited bis
arrival that they might witness the
ceremony. Rev. Campbell did the
honors and they were soon pronounc-
ed man and and wife.
They left for their country home
