MEDICINAL.
CURIOUS CU~.E..[N.N.c..

The cuckoo is generally known only
as a bird with a very monotonous note !:
a continuous cry of "cuckoo, cuckoo" I"
over and over again. Among naturalists,
however, the cuckoo ie known as bird
that never builds a nest for itself, but
takes advantage of one already built by
some more industrious bird.
There is a good deal Of the cuckoo
about these advertisers who, instead OF
making a success of their own, seek to
profit by the success which some one
else has made with much effort and
labor. 1t Is 50 with those limitations of
DR.. Pierce's methods, by which free
medical advice is offered, although those
who make the offer are without qualified
medical ability or experience. And the
cry raised in some cases of woman,
woman, woman write to woman makes
the resemblance to the cuckoo even
stronger.
There Is as far as known no qualified
woman physician connected with any
proprietary medicine establishment, and
none therefore competent to give medi-
cal advice. 1t is certain that there is no
one, man or woman, who can offer free
medical advice backed by such knowl
edge and experience as is possessed by
Or. R. v. Pierce, chief consulting ply
sician to the Worlds Dispensary, Buffalo,
N For over thirty years DR.. Pierce
has made a speciality Of the treatment
of diseases peculiar to women. In that
time he has treated over haF-a-nillion
women, ninety-eight per cent. of whom
have been perfectly cured. Every sick
woman is invited to consult Dr. Pierce
by letter absolutely without charge or
cost Every letter is held as strictly pr
vate and sacredly confidential, and all
answers are mailed securely sealed in
perfectly plain envelopes bearing no
Driutin0 whatever uDou them

jured were in he omnibus, and but
three escaped y u1injured.
The train wasa special and consisted
of an engine ant one car. At the point
at which the c.llision occurred there
is a sharp cure in the road, and the
omnibus came along at good rate of
speed, the OCCUPANTS unconscious of
any impending Sanger. AS the bus
swung around the curve the engine and
car came in siglt. It was too late to
stop either the omnibus or the train,
and as the driverDf the former whipped
up the four hors ses to cross the track
ahead of the ira n, the latter crashed
into it's middle. The occupants were
thrown in all directions, bruised and
bleeding. The 11dead were killed out
right. Physicians and special train
were sent for, an( the injured were TAX

is employed to warn teams or pedes-
trians of any approaching train, and
those living in tpe vicinity state that
it is impossible ohear an approaching

RACES IN A RIOT.
Wild Excitement in New YOrk-Many
Negroes Injured-POlice Re-
serves Called Out.

New York, Aug. 16.-Negroes and
white men in fierce racial riot seethed
through the streets of the center of
New York Wednesday night. The CEN
ter of the miniature war was Eighth
avenue and Thirty-fourth street, but
the conflict radiated in all directions
from this junction and pitched battles
were on every corner for blocks. Strag-
Cling mobs gave chase to solitary ne
groes, pulled them. from doorways,
cable cars and other refugees, beat them
into insensibility in most cases. Sixty
or perhaps hundred negroes were in
Jured more or less severely, a dozen
white men were battered up, and Detec-
tive Kennedy was carved up by razor
welding negro and is now in the New
York hospital dangerously wounded.
and two other policemen were injured.
For many hours the police reserves
from four stations were charging upon
the rioters, and police patrol wagons
and ambulances lined the thoroughfare
where the thickest of the fight was
On.
Policeman Thorpe was murdered last
Sunday morning while attempting to
arrest woman. His slayer was col
ored man, and since then the police have
been making a search of the negro dis
trict for the murderer This excited
the negroes to the point of panic and
for two or three days there have been
mild disturbances. The outbreak
came Wednesday night, when negro
attempted to shoot white woman.
Till long after midnight the war was
carried on through the avenues of the
city and into the hotels. Cars in Broad
way and Eighth avenue were stopped
by the mob and terror stricken negroes
were dragged to the street to be beaten
and kicked by the angry whites. All
the weapons of a mob were employed
on both sides-pistols, razors, clubs,
bottles and stones were freely used.

MURDERER AND THIEF.
Charles Ferrell COnfesses to Killing
Messenger Lane and Robbing
Express Safe.

Columbus, o., Aug. 13.-Charles R. II.
Ferrell, former employe of the Ad-
ans Express company, was arrested
Sunday afternoon in this city, and has
confessed to the killing of Messenger
Charles Lane and the robbery of the
way safe of the Adams Express COM
pany on the Pennsylvania east-bound
train which arrived in this city at mid
night Friday. One thousand dollars
of the money which he had stolen was
recovered.
Ferrell was to have been married
Thursday next to Miss Lillian Costlow,
the beautiful young daughter of Pat
rick Costlow, an engineer on the Penn
sylvania lines. He had been discharged
from the employ of the Adams Express
company about three weeks ago, and
had not since been able to secure en-
ployment. He confessed that the mo-
tive of the robbery was to secure money,
of which he felt in great need on ac-
count of his approaching marriage.
The money recovered he had given to
Miss Costlow to keep for him, saying
that it was money he had saved from
his earnings. He was at the home of
his affanced and in her company when
placed under arrest. When taken into
custody he assumed a nonchalant de-
meanor, but when he found that he
could no longer deceive the officers, he
made full confession.

ANTI-IMPERIALISTS MEET.
First Days Session of Liberty Con.
gress Held at 1ndianapolfz-
Bryan's Name Cheered.

Indianapolis, Ind, Aug. 16.-The first
days sessions of the liberty congress
of the National Anti-Imperialistic
league were somewhat disappointing
so far as the attendance of delegates
was concerned. About 300 accredited
delegates were present. In spite of the
small attendance, the speeches of Ed
win Burritt Smith, the temporary
chairman, and George S. Boutwell,, the
permanent president, brought forth
much enthusiasm. The public meeting
in the evening was much better attend
ed and the reading of Bourke Cochran s
letter was the signal for tremendou
applause.
Throughout the delivery of Mr..
Smiths address the applause was gen.
erous, but it reached it's greatest vol
ume when the temporary chairman
suggested that many of the sympa-
thizers with the movement were dis
posed to give their support to William
j. Bryan. The cheers and shouts
which greeted this utterance lasted
two or three minutes.
President Boutwell, in his address
charged the administra tion with the
abandonment of the principles upon
which the government was founded
he said that the trouble in China had
been aggravated by our policy in that
country, and for these and other evils
advocated the overthrowing of the
present administration by the election
of Bryan.
A well-attended public meeting was
held at night at Tomlinson hall, at
which addresses were delivered by
Moorfield Storey, of Boston; Sigmund
Zeisler, of Chicago; Rev. Herbert S.
Bigelow, of Cincinnati, and Capt. Pat
rick O'Ferrall, of Washington. The
reading of letter from Bourke Cock
ran brought forth tremendous round
of applause

AN AMERICANS LETTER.
He Calls War Piratical and Advises
Filipinos to Seize an American Of
fcer and Try Him for Piracy.

Washington, Aug. 16.-Letters and
papers belonging to Aguinaldo,
which were captured several months
ago by Gen. Funston, were made pub
lie Wednesday by the war depart
ment. Some of these documents tend
to substantiate the charges that the
Filipino insurgents have received en-
couragement from persons in the
United States. The most remarkable
letter in the collection is from DR..
Montague R. Leverson, dated Fort
Hamilton, N. Y, July II, 1899, who de-
scribes himself as a member of the
Anti-Imperialist league. The writer
declares the action of the United
States in the war is piracy and advises
the Filipinos to capture some United
States officer of high rank and try him
before their congress on this charge
While it is said by officers of the admin
istration that a charge of treason
might be based on Mr.. Leverson's let
ter, no legal proceedings will be insti-
tuted

A SLEEPY OPERATOR
He Is Mainly Responsible for a Terri
BILE Collision at Pierson. Mich-
Seven Persons Killed,

Grand Rapids, Mich, Aug. 16.-A
dense morning fog, a changing of train
orders and a moments drowsiness of a
telegraph operator combined Wednes.
day morning to cause collision and
wreck of two of the heaviest and finest
trains in the service of the Grand Rap
ids & Indiana railroad and the loss of
seven lives and the injury of about a
dozen more persons. All of the dead
and most of the injured were employees
of the company.
THE DEAD-Letts, Charles NJ, Grand

Grand Rapids, news agent; base of skull
fractured.
The absence of any one of the circum-
stances which caused the accident
would have overcome the disastrous
effect of the other two. Train orders
had been changed the night before,
but after the Northland express had
left this city it was decided to cancel
the arrangement. One engineer re-
ceived his orders all right; the other did
not. The operator at Mill Creek, a
small station five miles north of this
city, had been asked if the express had
passed him, and upon replying in the
negative was told to flag it and give
new instructions. But it had passed
him unnoticed a few minutes before
while he slept, and before he discov-
cred his awful mistake the terrible
tragedy had occurred.
No trains were run Wednesday, as
the track was lifted from it's bed for
a space of 200 yards and thrown aside,
rails, ties and all. A temporary track
is being built. The company'slo loss can
not be accurately calculated, but will
amount to nearly $50.0CO.
