A Doctor This Time.

Portland, May 6th.-Dr. e. A. Rose.
n practicing physician, formerly OF
Yates Center, Hans, was on what
everyone supposed was his death bed.
He had Diabetes, and six of his brother
doctors were In attendance and consul
tation at his bedside. They had done
everything that medical skill could sug-
gcst to save his life, but they were at
last reluctantly forced to tell him that
he must prepare for DEATH
His aunt had been summoned to his
dying bedside. After the doctors had
given her nephew up, she insisted that
as a last resort, he be given treatment
of Dodd's Kidney Pills.
From the very first dose the tide
turned in his favor. His life was saved,
and he is hale and hearty to-day.
This case and its cure has amazed the
physicians, aud is the sensation of the
hour. 1t is interesting to note that
while many Others are being cured by
this great discovery in medicine, the
physicians themselves are among the
hrst to benefit. and that while the SIM
pier and more prevalent forms, such as
rheumatism, Sciatica, Bladder and
Urinary Trouble and Female Weakness
disappear before it, the more malignant
forms. such as Bright's Disease, Dia.
bctes and Dropsy, which have always
been regarded as incurabe, are yield.

WILL PROTECT CONSUL BAIZ.
Venezuelan 0utrages Must Cease--Is
Not an American Citizen, How
ever.

Washington March 1S,-The State De-
partment, through Minister Loomis, re-
Gently lodged a most vigorous protest to
the Venezuelan government against fur
Their interference with Mr.. Baiz, the Unit
ed States consular agent at Barcelona,
Venezuela. 1t knows nothing of the last
reported infringement of his liberty, but
it is presumbed that the affair is con-
nected directly with the troubles which
led 20 the first protest.
Ignatio NJ. Biaz is not citizen of the
United States, a fact that may add to
the difficulty which our government will
experience in protecting him, as it is de-
termined to do. He was born in St.
Thomas, and is a Danish citizen so far
as is known here but, having an exequa-
tur issued by the Venezuelan government
recognizing him as a United States con-
sular agent, the State Department has de-
cided that he is entitled to the protec-
ton of the United States government. 1t
appears that he is engaged in business
and became involved in trouble with Ven
ezuleua military by resisting an attempt
to collect a forced loan from him. More
than a month ago the State Department
forwarded its instruction to Minister
LOOMS to represent to the Venezuelan
government that these annoying interfer-
ences with our officials must cease, but so
far no results have appeared.

Morgan & Co, was called to-day TO the
report that the time for the deposits OF
stock of the steel companies, which must
be made on Wednesday, was likely to be
extended. He said:
II think that there will be no necessity
for that. The great bulk of the stock will
be in by tomorrow and some of the
transfers of the stock are delayed, as re-
ported, by technical irregularities or By
other unpreventable causes. there will be
no disposition to reject deposits of that
kind"
1t is understood that so to So per cent.
of the stock has already been deposited,
and it is probable that the amount de-
posted by tomorrow night will be 10
per cent. at least,
1t was also reported that part of the
increased capital Of the United States
steel Corporation would be used 20 take
over the property Of the American Bridge

Gays:
I'VE must admit that this is no juno
tuTe to risk fresh quarrels. Our arma-

far east is so weak that it's position would

the nation to have its face slapped. but

Saws Redmond.

London, March BIN the House of
Commons to-day William Redmond, Irish
Nationalist, gave notice that he would
take an early opportunity of informing
King Edward that he had no earthly

title would appear on the coins, and if
SO, what particular faith was meant. The
chancellor of the exchequer, Sir Michael
Hicks Beach, replied that so long as the
Kings titles remained unaltered they
would appear on the coins Then Mr.. Red
