W. A. YATES DEATH.
Boat Upset in Surf and Diseased Was Unable
10 Swim.

The details OF the death by drown
ing in South Africa Of W. A. Yates Of
this city have at last been received
The regular mail has been somewhat
delayed because Of the first steamer by
which it could be sent failing to take
all OF it. the letter being in the part
left behind. About two months ago a
cablegram was received here making
the bare statement that w. A. Yates
had been drowned. No particulars
were given and they have been anx-
iously awaited for two long months by
his family and friends.
The accident occurred, oct. is. at
Saltpond. on the west coast Of Africa.
Mir. Yates, who was stationed at his
factory at Cape Coast at that time.
saw some native boatmen preparing to
90 to Saltpond, about 10 miles away.
and he, apparently on the spur Of the
moment. decided to 60 with them. His
firm was doing business at the place
where the hoatmen We're going and Mir
Yates wished to look the ground over
and intended TO return by hammock
carriers. 1t was 4 short journey and
not attended by any unusual dangers

dous expeditions.
ON account of the high surf along
that part of the coast the large coast
ing vessels cannot get very near the
shore and landings have To be made
with small surf boats. The party ar
rived safely at Saltpond and was GO
ing ashore in one of the surf boats
when a large roller struck them and
the man who was steering was knocked
overheard. The boat at once became
unmanageablc and, swinging around,
was overturned. Mr.. Yates was large
man and unable to SWIM The natives
proved their loyalty and worked hard
to save their master. but the water at
the point where the accident occurred
was deep and they failed. The man
aged to get hold of him but the waves
tore him away from them. The body
was washed ashore and rescued by the
natives. The accident all happened
very quickly and M. Yates was not in
the water more than 10 minutes, but
all effort to revive him failed.
Alex Yates, a brother of the deceased.
was at Accra, about 20 miles away. at
the time and received a telegram ut >
o'clock. only two hours after the acct
dent happened. There is no suspicion
Of foul play, as Mr.. Yates was accom-
panied ny three trusted blacks. ana
they did all that was possible under
the circumstances. The body was
placed in 4 metallic coffin and will be
sent home TO this city at the first op-
portunity.

POINTS OF EXCELLENCE.
A Few Reasons Which Are Rapidly Making
New Ca.arrh Cure Famous.

Stuarts Catarrh Tablets. the new Ca
tarTh cure has the following advantages
over other cdtarrh remedies.
First: These tablets contain no CO.
cainc, morphine Of any other injurious
drug ana are as safe and beneficial Tor
children as for adults: this is an tmpor-
tant point when il is recalled that many
catarrhal remedies do contain these very
objectional ingredients.
Next: Being in tablet form this remedy
does not detcriorate with age. or an eX-
posure to the air as liquid preparations
invariably do.
Next: The tablet form rot only pre-
serves the medicinal properties but II IS
50 far more convenient To carry and 70
use at any time that il is only dues-
tion Of time when the tablet will entirely
surersede liquid medicines as II has al
ready done in the medical department OF
the United States army.
Next: No secret is made Of the com
position Of Stuarts Catarrh Tablets; they
contain the active principle of Eucaiyp-
tus bark red gum blood root and ny
dastin, all harmless antiseptics WHICH
however are death to catarrhal germs
wherever found. because they eliminate
them from the blood.
Next: You can not cure catarrh ny
local applications to the nose and throat
because these are simply local symptoms
and such treatment can not possibly
reach the real seat Of catarrhal disease
which is the blood: for this reason. inhal-
ers, douches, sprays and powders never
really cure catarrh. but simply give tenn
porary relief which a dose Of plain SAL
and water viii DO just as well.
Catarrh must be driven out Of the s!3-
tenn. ont Of the blood. by an internal
remedy because an internal remedy is the
only kind which can be assimiiated INTO
the blood.
Stuart's Catarrh Tablets do this be'-er
than the old form of treatment because
they contain every safe specific known l"
modern science in the antiseptc trea''
nent of the disease.
Next: The use OF inhalers, and spra!
ng apparatuses, besides being inenectiNe
ina disappointing is expensive, while
complete treatment of Stuarts Catarih
Tablets can be had at any drug store I.

MAY WINTER HERE.
Two SchooneTs Have Good Prospect Of Being
Ice Bound Till Spring.

The schooner +. l.. WcbDcr, which
came here to load lumber at J. Gray
& Sons for the New York market and
coal for the Decker & Day Co. have
good prospects of passing the winter
here. The Weber loaded, during
Sunday night and Monday morning
with all her cargo except some 10000
feet, which can be placed aboard her
in few hours time, should il be nee
essary. The Abenaki will begin, this
morning, to discharge her cargo Of
coal. The captains of both these
schooners look for a soft spell and if
this comes, they will probably reach
the mouth of the river ali right
At the present time. there is some
two or three inches of ice in the river
and men have crossed it at some
points. The ice fields are all in the
best of condition and the ice men do
not care to have their fields broken up
again for it would not probably freeze
so well the next time. The snow on
the ground keeps the dirt from blowing
onto it and should the present freeze
last, the ice fields could have no better
foundation.
For this reason alone, it is probable
that the tugs knickerbocker ana
Perry. which came up with the two
schooners and broke through the ice
will not try to reach here again unless
there is quite n soft spell. With the
present thickness of ice. this could
easily be accomplished with their ice
breakers.
