During his long and successful profess
sional practice he has never ventured
into fields outside of his own special
province. He is perfect master of the
common male maladies, such as Varico-
cele, Structure. Prostate Enlargement,
Nervo-Sexual Debility and OF contagious
Blood Poison in every form. In Nervo-
Sexual Debility he quickly detects the
stage and form of the weakness and sup
plies the proper treatment.
Dr. Hathaway promptly cures the va
rious diseases that are classed under the
head OF Nervo- Sexual Debility. namely:
Impotency. Lost Manhood. Spermator-
rhoea, Premature Decline, Impaired Mem
DRY and Failing Powers. and numerous
nervous, sexual and bodily affections due
to the effects of early follies and to the
ravages OF diseases. Varicocele he cures
by restoring to life the diseased and
weakened veins, not by destroying them
with the knife or electric cantery. Strict
ure, prostate disease etc. he cures by
gentle absorbent remedies that cause no
pain or suffering. Blood Poison he eradi-
Gates by treatment that destroys animal
poisons or toxines, and at the same time
improves the tissues that make up the
body. In all that pertains to Diseases
OF Men and Infectious and Contagious
Blood Poison the cures performed by DR.
Hathaway proclaim him the master spe-
cialist OF the age.

LENcTnrNING TIE coMANCHE.

Jacksonville Times-Union and Citizen:
The task OF lengthening the Clyde steam
ship Comanche, is now in progress at
Cramps shipyard in Philadelphia. and Is
regarded in shipbuildng circles as an un-
usually interesting piece of work The
Comanche is of 2073 tons, 300 feet long
and 26 feet deep Workmen are now en-
gagged in dismantling the interior of the
craft near the point where the division
is to be made. When this task shall be
finished the vessel will be foated into
the dry dock, and actual cutting opera
lions inaugurated. 1t Is proposed that
the hull be divided Immediately forward
of the boilers and engines. To this end
the keel will be severed, and the rivets
in the sheathing and plates knocked out
in as nearly a vertical line possible
A week will be required before the after
portion will be in readiness to be drawn
back the requisite distance, which, 1t has
been determined. shall be ffty-two feet.
Those in charge of the work say that in
three hours after all the bolts shall have
been removed the Comanche may be pull
ed apart. 1t will then be considered
comparatively easy to build up the inter-
vening space. The additional length OF
afty-two feet will give almost double
cargo capacity. and will tend to assist
materially in multiplying the longitudinal
pitching motion at sea so common TO
vessels OF short keel In two months
from now the Comanche will resume her
place in the New York and Jacksonville
service of the Clyde Line.

NEGROES RENAMED IN SAVANNAH.

Macon Telegraph: Mr.. w. F. Combs
came in yesterday from a trip through
middle Georgia, and in speaking of the
crop prospects he said that farm labor
in Henry and Butts counties seems to
be about as scarce as 1t is elsewhere in
Georgia. He says he found that near
Rover Ga, which is not very far from
McDonough, much cotton and corn land
had to be allowed to go to grass, because
the farmers had no way TO work 1t. When
asked what caused this scarcity OF labor.
Mr.. Combs said in the beginning of the
season that particular community had
plenty of help to pitch the crops, but a
few weeks ago the railroad ran an ex-
cursion to Savannah. and 100 negroes went
from there. OF the 100, eighty have not
been heard from any more. They either
remained in Savannah or took 40 the
woods somewhere en- route. The eighty,
he says, were under contract for the
year but entirely disregarded this fact.

"Thirteen" ID,


During the first week of August there
will arrive at Pensacola the initial steam
ship of a new line to be operated be-
tween New York and Pensacola. The line
will be operated in conjunction with the
Louisville and Nashville Railroad but
the steamers will be owned by New York
capitalists. All the business at Pensacola
will be managed by the Gulf Transit Com
pany. and Pensacola will be made the
principal port of entry. According to a
statement given out by a local well post
ed railroad man. the Inauguration of the
new line will have a very perceptible
effect on freight rates, and it is expected
it will be possible to place freight here
at about Is per cent. cheaper than here
tofore. The New York rate to Pensacola
at present is rs cents per 100. To Mont
gomery 1t is s1.1S, and to- Atlanta 1t is
$1.16. When the new line gets into active
operation 1t is expected to deliver here
at go cents; to Montgomery at $1.O5, and
to Atlanta at ST. Thus from the above
1t will be seen how it will affect the in
land transportation lines. as II is ex-
pected that freight for Florida. Alabama
and Georgia will be handled by the line.

English and German with equal ease. They
are also somewhat travelled. Last summer
they spent several weeks with their parents
at Rye Beach, N. H., and while there con-

nearly all nationalities were represented
French, Italian and SpaIish-the Schroers
twins stuck diligently to their German and
English tongues.
They did not do this in a spirit Of dis

hold themselves aloof from the other chill
dren. On the contrary, they were good
friends with all the colony. and Mr..
Schroers has many photographs of them
with their Spanish and French and italian
playmates. Jack Schroers is a youth with
red hair, which was the color Of the hair
of his Observation-Disclosures on his IA

hair. Both have blue eyes.
The Miller twins are of school age, and
they are particularly bright pupils. Their
home is at No. 1760 Missouri avenue, where
