Washington, March 1.--Carrying out

Although nominally legation guard,
General Chaffee's force is Of rather
formidable offensive quantity and, not
desirous Of retaining an unnecessary
menace to the Chinese court and in or

further reduction Of the American

Considerable discretion was left to

STARTED CROUCH HOUSE"

George Montgomery, Dave Crosby, ].
Collins, H. Jenkins, L. Mehrtens, Char
ley Crosby and w. Hewlett, all white,
were arrested yesterday morning by
Mounted Patrolman T.. C. Murphy and
sent to the police station on charges of
impersonating police officers and larceny.
From all accounts the defendants had
two nights of fun early in the week and
little suspected that they would be taken
in custody. The police say that five men,
bers of the crowd would enter a negro
house and create some disturbance. This
was the cue for the remaining two men,
bers of the band to enter disguised as
police officers. AS soon as the make-be-
Iieve officers entered the house some one
would blow out the lights and there
would be trough house in earnest. 1t
was the plan to destroy most of the brio
a-brac around the place entered, and in
at least two instances articles were taken
from the premises. The report of the
matter at police headquarters was fol-
lowed by the arrest of the above men
toned parties.
Crosby, Jenkins and Mehrtens were dis
missed by Judge Hartridge at yesterday
mornings session of Police Court and the
other four were remanded for trial in the
City Court on charges of larceny. The
complainants in the cases were Mary

A sPOTTER SPOTTED.
Jef Waters, Convicted of Larceny,
Given Two Years on Gang.

Jen Waters, Convicted of Larceny,
Given Two Years on Gang.
Many man has been sent to chain
gang or penitentiary from Chatham
county on the evidence of Jeff Waters, a
negro who for many years has been a
constable and a spotter for the city and
county detectives. Yesterday jeff was
gang, for terms aggregating two years,
for theft.
Some days ago he stole three pairs of
shoes from Patrolman Joe Kelly and dis
appeared. When he was captured it was
found that he had committed another
offense. for a bicycle, a trunk and several
other articles were missed by their own
er and traced to Jeff's possession.
On both of these charges he was ar
raigned before Judge Norwood, at yester-
days criminal session, and on both of
them he was found guilty. Judge Moor
wood sentenced him to pay fine of $25
and costs or serve twelve months on the
gang in each case.
Arthur Jones was found guilty of lift
ing four chickens, to which the prosecu-
tor, Julian Smith, proved title. Judge Nor
wood sent Jones to the gang for nine
months.
The evidence in the case of Joe Curry,
charged with larceny from the house, de-
veloped the fact that Joe had broken open
the cash drawer of Grice & Williams,
found $25, and walked off with it. He was
caught and placed under arrest however,
and yesterday Judge Norwood gave him
his choice of paying a fine of $50 and
the costs of the prosecution or spending
twelve months on the gang.
There were several others tried by
Judge Norwood and the majority of them
were sentenced to good long terms on the
gang Solicitor General Osborne appeared
for the state.

CHANGE OF CLIMATE
Not Necessary in Order to Cure Ca
tarrh.

The popular idea that the only cure for
chronic catarrh is a change Of climate. is
a mistake because catarrh is found in all
climates in all sections of the country;
and even if a change of climate should
benefit for a time the catarrh will GER
tainIy return.
Catarrh may be readily cured in any
climate. but the only way to do II is TO
destroy or remove from the system the
catarrhal germs which cause ell the mis-
chief.
The treatment by inhalers, sprays.
powders and washes has been proven al
most useless in making permanent cure.
as they do not reach the seat of disease.
which is in the blood, and can be reached
only by an internal remedy which acts
through the stomach upon the blood and
system generally.
A new discovery which is meeting with
remarkable success in curing catarrh of
the head, throat and bronchial tubes and
also catarrh of the stomach, is sold by
druggists under the name of Stuart's Ca
tarrh Tablets.
These tablets. which are pleasant and
harmless to take, owe their efficiency to
the active medicinal principles of Blood
Root, Red Gum and new specific called
Guaiacol, which together with valuable
antiseptics are combined in convenient,
palatable tablet form, and as valuable for
children as for adults.
Mr.. A r. Fernbank of Columbus, O.,
says: l suffered so many winters from ca
tarrh that l took it as a matter of course,
and that nothing would cure ii except a
change of climate, which my business af-
fairs would not permit me to take.
My nostrils were almost always clogged
up. l had to breathe through the mouth,
causing an inflamed, irritated throat. The
thought of eating breakfast often nause-
ated me and the catarrh gradually getting
into my stomach took away my appetite
and digestion.
My druggist advised me to try a fifty
cent box of Stuart's Catarrh Tablets, be-
cause he said he had so many customers
who had been cured of catarrh by the
use of these ab,ets, that he felt he could
honestly recommend them l took his ad-
vice and used several boxes with results
that surprised and delighted me.
L always keep box of Stuarts Catarrh
Tablets in the house and the whole fam
lily use them freely on the first appear
ance of a cough or cold in the head.
With our children we think there is
nothing SO safe and reliable as Stuart 8
Catarrh Tablets to ward off Group ana
colds and with older people 1 have known
of cases where the hearing had been Sc
riously impaired by chronic catarrh cured
entirely by this new remedy.

FIGHT IN YOUNGSTOWN.

ettO Here, Won out There.

n
ettO Here, Won out There.
Austin Rice, who is matched to fight
Pete Poretto before the Austral Athletic
Club Monday night. is evidently able 10
give good account of himself in the
ring. Rice went up against Eddie Lenny
of Philadelphia. at Youngstown, O., the
other night, and the Cincinnati En-
quirer of the day following prints this
account of the trouble in the shape of
special from Youngstown:
by one of the worst decisions ever
given in a prize ring. Eddie Lenuy of
Philadelphia was saved from defeat at
the hands of Austin Rice of New Lon
don, Conn. in the arena of the Youngs-
town Athletic Club tonight. The battle
went the limit of twenty rounds, and al
its conclusion Referee NJ, j. Finn declared
that the bout must go five rounds further
before he would be able to render de-
cision. This raised a howl from the au-
dience, as Rice had beaten his man every
inch of the distance. The police refused
to allow the ba title to continue, and
draw was announced. wild scene of
disorder followed the decision and ID was
with difficulty that the demonstration of
the crowd was subdued by the police.
Rice came out of the fray with scarcely
a scratch. while Lennys face bore the
appearance of raw meat. The Philadel-
phian's right hand was also broken. and
he was altogether very much hors de
combat"
Poretto has been putting in some good
work since he has been in Savannah and
is said to he in great shape for the
match. If the illustration of Rices istic
abilities given above and others that are
known of here are not overdrawn. Poret-
to will probably need all he keeps in
stock. The friends he has made in Sa
vannah, however, believe him fully able
to stand against Rice or anybody else In
his class
