A WITNESS TO FENDER KILLING.
Amerlcus Negro May Stretch Hemp
For Crime.

When the Times Recorder appear ed,
giving the first account received here
of the murder of Officer Fender in Sa-
vannah and the arrest of Henry
Brooks, an Americas negro, charged
with the crime, there was the greatest
interest manifested among Brooks rel
atives and friends and copies of the
Savannah papers, with fuller details of
the murder, were eagerly sought. It
has since transpired that a white citi-
zen witnessed the murder, and he as
serts positively that Brooks killed
Officer Fender. The murder was cold
blooded and deliberate, and Brooks
may stretch hemp for the crime. The
negro is we'll known here.

An Extraordinary Engagement Of one
Nioht.

An extraordinary Engagement OF one
Night.
Sporting Life" is the significant
title Of a pretentious English melo.
drama to be produced at the Brooks
theater next Saturday The piece en-
ioyed a prosperous run of six months
in New York at the Academy Of Music,
and a record breaking engagement Of
FIVE months at McVicker's theater,
Chicago, last season, and comes here
heralded as the most elaborate pro
auction of melodrama ever given in
America. hits claim would appear to
be borne out by the marvellous des.
cription of the scenery provided,
there being no less than 12 distinct
scenes, several of them Of astonish-
ing magnitude. A genuine training
stable. occupied by several genuine
race horses, is one of the attractive
features. A massive production OF
the ancestral home of the Earl of
Woodstock from the famous painting,
"The Day of Reckoning" is regarded
as masterpiece OF the scene paint
er's art Then there is a very elabor-
ate view of the Earl's court exhibit
uon grounds. showing tn numerous
booths, buildings and amusement de
vices, all brilliantly Illuminated the
interior of the National Sporting club,
London, the boxes and stalls occupied
all in evening dress; and, lastly, a
splendid view of the EPSON Downs
race course on Derby day. There are
numerous other scenes of lesser mag
nitude, but all admirably designed and
executed. In preparing this gigantic
production, the management found II
necessary to make requisition upon
all the leading studios of New York,
entailing an enormous outlay, but Sc
curing the benefit Of the artistic
genius of those distinguished masters:
Joseph Physioc, Ernest Albert, Homer
Emens, oJhn Young, Gates & Nor
ange, Hart & Becker and f. Platter.
To crowd so much diversity OF seen
cry into five acts necessitates some of
the most rapid changes Of scene ever
witnessed, and the amazing celebrity
with which these changes are made is
one of the wonderful features Of the
production. There is no delay in the
action of the piece, and the lightning
like transportation of the spectator
from one picture to another is said to
be positively startling.

WHAT GOES UP
Must como Down.


Nothing is more certain than that
the use Of so called tonics, stimulants
and medicines, which depend upon al
cohol for their effect, is injurious to
health in the long run.
What goes up must come down and
the elevation Of spirits, the temporary
exhilaration resulting from dose of
medicine containing alcohol, will GER
tainly be followed in few hours by
a corresponding depression to relieve
which another dose must be taken.
In other words, many liquid patent
medicines derive their effect entirely
from the alcohol they contain.
Alcohol, and medicines containing
it, are temporary stimulants and not
in any sense a true tonic. In fact it Is
doubtful II any medicine or drug is a
real tonic.
A true tonicis something which will
renew, replenish, build up the exhaust
cd nervous system and wasted tissues
If the body, something that viii en-
ich the blood and endow it with the
proper proportions of red and white
,orpuscles. which prevent or destroy
iisease germs. This is what real
tonic should do and no drug or alco-
holic stimulant will do It.
The only true tonic in nature is
Wholesome food, thoroughly digested.
every particle of nervous energy, ev-
cry minute muscle, fibre and drop of
blood is created daily from the food
we digest.
The mere eating of food has little
to do with the repair of waste tissue
but the perfect digestion Of the food
eaten has every thing to do with it.
The reascp so few people have per
feet digestion is because from wrong
habits of living the stomach has grad
ually lost the power to secrete the gas
tric Juice, peptones and acids in suf-
acent quantity.
To cure indigestion and stomach
troubles it is necessary to take after
meals some harmless preparation
which will supply the natural peptone
md diastase which every weak stom-
lch lacks, and probably the best
preparation Of this character is
stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets which may
be found in every drug store and
which contain in pleasant palatable
form the wholesome peptone and dia-
,tase which nature requires for
prompt digestion.
One or two OF these excellent tab
lets taken after meals will prevent
souring, fermentation and acidity and
insure complete digestion and assimi-
lation.
stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are
equally valuable for little children as
for adults, as they contain nothing
harmful or stimulating but only the
natural digestives.
One of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets
will digest 1900 g.,..1- Of meat eggs
or other wholesome food, and they are
in every sense a genuine tonic be-
cause they bring about in the only
natural way a restorative of nerve
power. a building up Of lost tissue and
appetite, in the only way it can be
done by the digestion and assimila-
tion of wholesome food

Ss-,.L --a Beauty.

A poor complexion is usually the
result of torpid liver or irregular
action of the bowels. Unless natures
refuse is carried on it will surely
cause impure blood. Pimples, boils
and other eruptions follow. This is
natures method of throwing OF the
poisons which the bowels failed to
remove. DeWitt's Little Early
Risers are world famous for remedy
ing this condition. They stimulate the
liver and promote regular and healthy
action of the bowels but never cause
gripping, cramps or distress. Safe
