 An ominous silence followed this ter rible threat, then Tommie said plaint- ively:

MIR. WU IS IN DIsFAVoR.
Believed in China That He is Not
 Loyal to His Government.

Pekin, Oct. 3.-There Is strong oppo- sition among conservative Chinese of- ficials to Wu Ting Fang. Chinese min ister to Washington, retaining a foreign mission. Those who take this view con slider that his popularity abroad is a proof that he is not sufficiently loyal to the interests of China. It Is probable that he will be recalled and given a posi- tion on the new Board of Foreign Af- fairs. where his linguistic and legal at- taihments may be utilized under the eye of the government.

Whatever else has been accomplished in Cuba, the health of the island has been wonderfully improved.
 In Havana the change has been .nagi- cal: streets have been asphalted, sewers built. buildings whitewashed and drug stci es supplied with scientific, up-to-date preparations. The demand for Paine's celery compound has grown to enormous proportions.
 The following statement from E. J. Molina of the Havana Custom House shows the standing Paine's has already secured among the most progressive, en- ergetic people of Havana:
 Havana, Cuba, Feb. {, 1901. Wells & Richardson Co.,:
 Dear Sirs-I take great pleasure in stat ing that I have used your Paine's cele- ry compound both while in the United States as well as in this city. and find it to be of wonderfully restorative power, especially in this enervating climate.
 Yours very truly.
 E. J. MOLINA.

Molina is but one of many prominent Cubans who have publicly advised the. use of Paine's celery compound, passing their recommendations on the benefit they themselves have derived from it's use.
 Not only among business men, lawyers. clergymen and physicians, but among all classes of thoughtful. intelligent people. Paines celery compound is the one re- liable remedy for building up the system when 1t is run down. It Is the greatest nerve and brain invigorator the world has ever known.
 If your wife, daughter or sister is pale, languid, headachy and irritable, persuade her to try Paine's celery compound. If your husband, son or brother cannot eat, sleep or work. and drowsy, dyspeptic and Respondent, induce him to take Paine's celery compound.
 It restores a worn and weak nervous system to healthy yigor.
 There can be no substitute for Paine's celery compound.

 q Strange Land"

Strange Land," 6 comedy in three acts. was presented at matinee and again last night at the Montgomery Theatre and appreciative audiences witnessed both performances The story of tho play has been told by The Advertiser. It turns upon the imagi- nary adventures in America of young English scapegcat who returns home and covers up his past fpdiscretions by the art of prevarication.
 There are numerous ridiculous compit- cations, the untangling of which affords two hours of genuine and healthy amuse- ment.
 The company is capable. William Friend made clever presentation of the young adventurer aad the. naturalness and originality of Charles Drake. who played the uncle, who was willing to As- sist the scapegoat, was one of the best features of the perfoi nance.
 The women of the company were good. Miss Elsie Willard. who had the ingenue role, Is an Alabama girl, who has friends in Mo nt gomery. and much interest was centered ir her.
 IL was the first prt duction in Mont gonlery of the comedy and 1t gave satis- faction.

Kindly ia Times Of Peace They Are Cruel

The men of Samoa are noble speei-
mems, physically tall muscular with
the erect carriage and elastic step Of

smiling and kindly-in time of peace

They are ind0lent, and, when not
reused to hostility, as amiable and
fun-loving as children. They work
as little as is possible. and why should
they? The forest abounds in Wild
bananas, bread-fruit and yams, which
may be had for the taking; the sea is
full Of fish which they are expert IN
catching, and if Providence deigns to
send them a fattened pig once or twice
year they are blessed Clothing
they do not require, nor fuel; their
taxes are only nominal, and they are
consequently exempt from the chief
