How a Little Soy Was Saved.

Washington, d. c." When our
bow was about l6 months old he broke
out with. a rash which was thought to
be measles. In a few days he had a
swelling on the left side of his neck
and it was decided to be humps. He
was given medical attendance for
about three weeks when the doctor
said it was scrofula and ordered q
salve. He wanted to lance the sore,
but I would not let him and continued
giving him medicine for about four
months when the bunch broke in two
places and became q running sore.
Three doctors said it was scrofula and
each ordered a blood medicine. A
neighbor told me of case somewhat
like our baby's which was cured by
Hoods Sarsaparilla. | decided to
give it to my boy and in a short while
his health improved and his neck
healed so nicely that I stopped giving
him the medicine. The sore broke
out again, however, whereupon again
gave him Hoods Sarsaparilla and its
persistent use has accomplished a COM
plete cure. do not think there will be

ATLANTA HAS A GREAT STRIKE ON.
Stone Cutters, Garment Makers and Other:
Want More Money and Fewer Hours.
(Bv the Associated Press. }

by Ille ASSOCldIeu L Coo'J
Atlanta Ga, May "A strike involving
many and widely diversified branches OF
organized labor is on in Atlanta and sur
rounding towns. The stone cutters OF
Atlanta, who number less than 100 quit
work last night. They want an eight
hour day at forty cents and the contrac-
tors are willing to give thirty-five cents.
The matter has been placed in the hands
of Charles A. Collier, ex-Mayor of Atlanta
for settlement by arbitration. Granite
cutters of Atlanta, and other towns went
out yesterday on orders from Baltimore.
They demand eight hours and a sliding
scale. All the large quarries at these
places are affected. The garment makers
of Atlanta were ordered out tonight on
telegraphic instructions from Baltimore
They want the recognition of their order.
Fifteen hundreds carpenters met Sunday
and decided to quit work June list unless
their demands for an eight-hour day at
25 cents is granted. The carpenters have
given contractors one month for delibera-
ton on their demands.
The cayI enters ask to share in the gen.
eral prosperity now spreading over the

TWENTY SOLDIERS SLAIN

A Lieutenant and Eight Men Then Arrived From

Who Believing Large Force

Manila, May 2.-The American gar
rison at Catubig, Island Of Samar,
consisting of thirty men, belonging
to the Forty-third regiment has been
attacked by rebels. Twenty of the
Americans were killed. The remain
der were rescued.
DETAILS OF THE STRUGGLE.
Washington, May 2.-General Otis
has so far not reported to the War De
partment the casualties sustained by
the American garrison at Catubig
The officials believe that the general
is holding back the news with the
object of supplying with it the names
of the victims of the seige.
The loss reported in killed is the
most severe suffered by the American
forces since the beginning of the in
slirrection, but even so, the officials at
the War Department could not but eX-
press their admiration for the heroic
endurance and courage displayed by
the little garrison.
The department is not informed as
to the composition of this particular
garrison, having only a rough state
ment from the commanding general
of the disposition of each regiment
among certain islands, without partic-
ulars of the location OF each COM
pany. II
The officials at the department who
have seen service in the Philippines
are not surprised at the fact that an
officer with eight soldiers was able
to raise the seige. They say that the
Filipinos were probably dismayed at
the extent of the punishment inflicted
upon. them bt the garrison before
the relieving party came near, and
then they supposed it was bit the
advance guard Of a formidable force
