BAD BLOOD,
BAD COMPLEXION.

The skin is the seat of an almost end
less variety of diseases. They are known
by various names, but are all due to the
same cause, acid and other poisons in
the blood that irritate and interfere with
the proper action of the skin.
To have a smooth, soft skin, free from
all eruptions, the blood must be kept pure
and healthy. The many preparations of
arsenic and potash and the large number
of face powders and lotions generally
used III this class of diseases cover up
for short time, but cannot remove per-
manently the>ugly blotches and the red,
disfguring pimples.

Eternal vigilance is the price
of a beautiful complexion

when such remedies are relied on.
Mr.. H. T Shobe, 27o4 Lucas Avenue, St Louis,
Mo, says: My daughter was afflicted for years
with disfguring eruption on her face, which
resisted all treatment. She was taken to two
celebrated health springs, but received no bene-
fit. Many medicines were prescribed, but with
out result, until we decided to try S. S. S. and by
the time the first bottle finished the eruption
began to disa ppear. A dozen bottles cured her
completely and left her skin perfectly smooth.
She Is now seventeen years old, and not a sign OF
the embarrassing disease has ever returned"
S. S. S. is a positive, unfailing cure for
the worst forms of skin troubles. 1t is
the greatest of all blood purifiers, and the
only one guaranteed purely vegetable.

on the Big Four system, narrowly es-
capped disaster yesterday afternoon
near Kansas. Edgar county. Engineer
William White was pulling eight coach
es, heavily laden with holiday passen-
gers at a 60 mile an hour clip. Coming
down the grade near Baber's stock
farm the engineer saw a herd of 200
cattle being driven across the track
1t was too late to stop. and with re-
markable nerve White pulled the throt-
tie wide open and going at a terrific
speed, the engine struck the herd in the
middle grinding ten animals to pieces.
The engine pilot and the steps of the
first Goa ch were torn off and the whole
train was splashed in blood. No part
of the train left the track. The dis
abled engine was replaced at this city.

WORSE THAN EVER.
Car Shortage in Pittsburg Dis
trict is Unprecedented.

Pittsburg, Pa, Dec. 25.-The car
shortage in the Pittsburg district is
worse than ever before, and as a result
many mills are shut down or only in
partial operation. All of the mills along
the Allegheny valley road, including
the Carnegie City mills, have suspended
and it is probable that the big Carnegie
company plants at Homestead ana
Duquesne will be unable to resume for
a week or more after the holidays.
President SchWab during his recent
visit here said $3,000,000 worth of fin
ished products was piled up in the yards
of these two concerns with no present
prospect of removal.
Practically all of the furnaces in the
Mahoning and Shenango valleys are

AN OFFICIAL REBUFF.
Prefermen Withheld From Both
Dewey and Miles.

Washington, Dec. 25.-Neither Lieut..
General Miles nor Admiral Dewey Will
go to the coronation of King Edward
WI as the representatives of their re-
spective branches of the military service
of the United States. This conclusion
was admitted today in administration
circles. Following the censure of Gen
era1 Miles and the overruiing of Admiral
Dewey, they could not with any grace
be sent to mingle with other officers
of high rank in the brilliant gathering
which is to be in London next June.
In evidence Of the conclusion concern
ing Admiral Dewey, it is noted that the
cruiser Olympia, which was to join the
European squadron to honor Admiral
Dewey with his old flagship from Ma
Mia bay, has had it's orders counter
manded. The Olympia will be replaced
by the Kearsarge, which is not identi-
fled with any of Dewey's history.
The question of representation by a
special ambassador is also likely to lead
to a tremendous amount of disappoint-
ment. The understanding has been that
If President Mckinley had lived he
would have appointed Whitelaw Reid to
represent the United States in addition
to the regular ambassador al the court
of st. James. Now the talk is that
Whitelaw Reid will not go abroad in a
representative ca pacity. Former Sem
ator E. o. Wolcott, of Colorado. tempo
rary chairman of the Philadelphia ma
tional Republican convention, is thought
to be President Roosevelts choice.
cess 1t is expected that a joint resolution
will be introduced in the senate by
Senator Cullom and in the house by
Congressman Hit, providing for a rep
resentation from congress at the coro-
nation Of the king of England.
There is a sentiment in favor of hav-
ing the congress of the United States
represented at the pageant, and it is
believed that such a resolution will be
adopted without opposition. The reso-
luton will provide that at least six
members Of the senate committee
foreign relations and six members of the
house committee on foreign affairs be
appointed committee to attend the
coronation.
All expenses will be paid from the
contingent fund of both houses and the
delegation will leave the United States
about three weeks before the date set
for the coronation. The statesmen who
will probably be selected On the commit
tee are Senators Cullom, Frye, Lodge,

resentatives HIT, Adams, Beidler,

Memphis, Tenn, Dec. 25--The stern
wheeler steamer Sun, plying between
this port and Fulton, Term, burned to
the waters edge at 5 o'clock today at
her mooring at the wharf on the city
front. The boat arrived from Fulton
about midnight last night with fifteen
passengers, all of whom We're asleep on
board when the fire broke out OF these
three are known to be lost, D. N.
Rainey and wife, of Old River, Tenn,
and Mrs. G. M. Tins, of Richardson
Landing, Ark. Their charred remains
have been recovered from the wreck.
The three months old child of Mrs.
Tins is missing. 1t is believed that all
the other persons on board escaped.
The fire originated in a pile of seed
cotton on the boiler deck and probably
was started by a spark from the fur
mace. The boat was. valued at $4,000,
and was about half insured. The cargo
was totally destroyed.

COMING DRAMATIC EVENTS.

Lincoln J. Carter, the owner of many
successes, Down Mobile THE F1am-
ing Arrow" and 1.-TWO Little Waits, .
and others, has written a new play,
THE Eleventh Hour which will be
seen at the Crawford this afternoon
and tonight
1.-The Eleventh Hour has far out
rivaled any of his former successes. 1t
is a play that requires good acting and
it is promised that with this attraction
more than competent CON npany will be
duced at Carter's own theater in Chi
cagO THE Criterion and will be pro-
duced with the same scenery and effects
and cast which includes the favorite
Chas. A (<arD Gardner.
1t is gratifying to note that Charles
b. Hanford has achieved the greatest
success of his career as Petruchio in
Shakespeare'S immortal comedy .The
Tanning of the Shrew," which he will
present in this city at the Crawford on
Thursday.
No other living actor in America has
scored so many triumphs in the legiti-
mate field as Mr. >Hanford either in
dividually, or in conjunction with other
we'll known stars. He may well be said
to be the link connecting the Shake
sperian eras of the past and present in
this country; for in the past his name
was deemed worthy to be coupled with
such illustrious actors as Edwin Booth,
Lawrence Barrett and Thomas w.
Keene, while several of the leading ar
lists of the present day have shared
stellar laurels with Mr.. Hanford. Inas-
much as THE Tanning of the Shrew'' is
the most popular of Shakespeare's con-
edies a large audience will Undoubtedly
greet him this season. His supporting
company is headed by Helen Grantly,
a beautiful actress
