He reviewed the thorough systems

STOPS A CYCLING PRINCESS.
Windsor Park JanftoF Cheeks the
Granddaughter Of the Late
Queen.

Queen Victoria once prohibited BIZ
cyclists and automobiles from using
the broad walk in Windsor park, and
this week her granddaughter,
Princess Victoria, who is staying at
Windsor castle, was stopped and
thrown off her bicycle by the janitor,
who failed to recognize her. The
princess, VINO is an ardent cyclist,
nad just returned from a three weeks
tour in Wales and was riding with
her lady-in-waiting, Lady Musgraye.
Sergt. Green, the pensioner on duty,
called to the ladies to stop. They
disregarded his order and he caught
the princess handlebars. She fell,
hurting her ankle.
Lady Musgrave explained who they
were. Green replied that he was
sorry, but his orders to prevent cy-
clists from using the walk were un-
qualified. The princess, who was in
much pain, said it was stupid of him
not to recognize her. A carriage was
sent for to take her back to the cas-
tie.
Next day Green received a note
from the princess saying he was
quite right in fulfilling his instrue-
tions and apologizing for her hasti-
ness in complaining. But she advised
him never. to catch the handlebars,
as it destroyed the riders control
over machine.

M'KrNLEY AT Ell PAso.


Ell Paso, Tex, May THE Ameri-
can and Mexican flags were inter
twined in the decorations of the plaza
where the official greeting of Presi-
dent Mckinley and his cabinet took
place here yesterday morning. The
presence on the stand of Gen. Herman
DEE, personal representative of Presi-
dent Diaz, and the governor of the
state of Chihuahua, gave an interest
ing significance to the event. There
were, thousands of Mexicans in the
vast concourse of people to whom
the president spoke and their enthu-
siasm was almost as wild as that of
the Americans. Gen. Hernandez adj
dressed the president on behalf of his
president, extending the 1atter's con-
CALCULATIONS, and President McKin-
ley in his response paid a high trib-
ute to the president of the Mexican
republic and charged his emissary to
convey to his chief his warm regard
and personal esteem with his best
wishes for the continued prosperity
of our sister republic.
The presidents speech was very
happy and was especially notable on
account of his injunction to the peo-
pie not to be alarmed about imperial
ism. There was, he said, no imperial
ism except the imperial power of the
sovereign people of the United States

HUGE COAL FIELD FOUND.
The Largest Deposit in the World
Has Been Discovered in
Iceland.

In view of the fact that there have
been fears lest the worlds supply of
coal should run short, the announce
ment that huge coal deposits have
been discovered near the Nowd ford,
on the east coast of Iceland, is of great
Importance. There has been very lit
tie prospecting for coal in the island,
but by the indications it appears as
though this latest discovery points to
field in extent greater than any other
in the world. It is believed to run
from the coast to the interior and
volcanic portion of the island, and it's
breadth and thickness cannot be
guessed.

catarrh, as my cure Is complete.
Hon. B. B. Doviner, Congressman
from West Virginia, in letter from
Washington, d. c., to The Peruna Med
icine Co., says the following of their
catarrh remedy, Peruna:
81 join with my colleagues in the
House of Representatives in recon-
mending your excellent remedy,
Peruna, as a good tonic and also an
effective cure for catarrh."
Mrs. Mary C. Fentress writes from
Paradise, Tex, the following: 81 think
can say that your good advice and
medicine has cured me Of chronic ca
tarrh. I have had no pains in my head
since have taken Peruna. Ihave been
in bad health ever since SO, and have
were only of temporary relief. Peruna
is the catarrh cure. The Peruna
stopped my catarrh of the head SO
that it did not become chronic, and
am very thankful for DR.. Hartman's
advice and medicine"
Peruna is specific for all catarrhal
diseases. It acts quickly and bene-
ficially upon the infamed mucous
membrane thus removing the cause OF
catarrh.
Catarrh is catarrh wherever located.
Catarrh is essentially the same every
where. The remedy that will cure
catarrh in one situation will cure it in
all situations.
If you do not derive prompt and sat-
isfactory results from the use of Peru
ma, write at once to DIR. Hartman, Civ
ing full statement of your case and
he will be pleased to give you his val
liable advice gratis.

that crime in the Indian territory is
on an enormous decrease compared

country is being thickly settled, prin-
cipally by farmers. Murder is less
common. The introduction of whisky
is the greatest menace to society, al
though it is a felony to bring it in.

REQUEST WAS NOT PRESSED

Washington, Sept. 28.-In the
Schley court Of inquiry today, Captain
McCalla of the Marblehead, conclud-
ed his testimony which was begun yes
terday, and the court heard the testi-
mony of Lieutenant Commander w.
H. H. Switzerland, who commanded
the Eagle during the Spanish war and
also that of Lieutenant Carey B.
Barnes. The latter is a cipher expert
in the navy department and his evil
dence was devoted to showing that
the dispatch from Commodore Schley
to the navy department Of May %,
1898, saying the he could not, much to
his regret, obey the orders of the de-
partment, as printed in the official re-
ports, was a correct translation OF
the message as forwarded from the
Harvard at Kingston.
Commander Switzerland explained
the condition Of the Eagle during the
campaign and told of the part that
vessel played. He said the slow pro-
gress made in the cruise to Santiago
was due to the fact that the vessel
was one-third full Of water. He also
told of signaling the Scorpion to in
form Commodore Schley that the
Spanish sqapdron was not in the har-
Dor at C%ienfuegos. Captain McCalla
said that he had suggested to Schley
after the battel off Santiago that there
was glory enough in the victory for
all.
Mr.. Stayton did not press his re-
| quest to be allowed to appear as coun-
sci for Admiral Sampson as he had
! announced that he would do. He wrote
a second letter to the court renewing
his application and recounting the
times that Admiral SIMPSONS name
had been brought into the case, but
he left the. city later in the day, re
uuesting the court to hold up the mat
ter for the present.
