KINGS EVIL.
How Ignorance and Super
stition go Hand in Hand.

A curious sight might have been seen
IN England couple of centuries ago.
At Whitehall or some other royal resi-
dence a little group of people would
shrinkingly await the coming of the
king, in order to be utouched for the
evil" The specific vevil" was scrofula,
and it was the popular belief that scrof.
ula could be cured by the royal touch.
Hence the common name for scrofula
was Kings Evil.
Nowadays we know that scrofula is a
disease of the blood and that even were
there magic in kingly touch, no ex-
ternal treatment could cure scrofula.

NEWS CREATES A SENSATION
Island ON Which the Fight Occurred Never
Occupied by the Spaniards.


Occupied by the Spaniards.
Washington, Sept. 30-News of the
disastrous fight between troops of the
Ninth infantry and the insurgents in
the island of Samar Saturday was sent
promptly by General Hughes, COM
manding In that island, to General
Chaffee at Manila, and by him trans
mitted to the war department. 1t
. reached the department. during the
early hours yesterday, and Adjutant
General Corbin, realizing its impor-
tance, at once made ii public, after
sending copy to the White House.
The news created a sensation in OFF,
cial sircles. 1t was the first severe re-
verse that has occurred for long
time. Still the officials were not un-
prepared for news Of just this charac-
ter from Samar In which the revOlu-
ton started by Aguinaldo still con-
tinues. Samar Is country about as
large as the state of Ohio, and the
American forces of occupation number
in all between 1000 and $500 men.
These are distributed among various
posts In the island, large number be-
Eng located at the more important CEN
tiers. Spain never made any effort to
occupy Samar, and 1t only has been
for probably three months past that
the United States has undertaken that
work.
The latest report made by General
Hughes to the war department was
that the number of insurgent rifles In
the island aggregated about 300. The
Filipinos carried on a guerrilla war
fare, and operations against them were
difficult. Immediately upon receipt of
the dispatch Adjutant General Corbin
cabled General Chaffee to send COM
plete report of the fight and list Of
the casualties.
A well-known official of the govern
ment, in speaking of this outbreak
against the American forces in Samar,
said he regarded 1t as a consequence
of the assassination of President Nc
Kinley. In all probability the insurg-
ents had received0he said. only meager
reports of the tragedy, and possibly be-
lieved the shooting to be the result of
some popular outbreak against the
president The natives had seized the
opportunity I'm the Pickering hope Of
retrieving some of their lost ground.

suppressed disease like smothered fire
breaks out with new violence.
1t is the uniform testimony of those
who have been cured of scrofulous dis.
eases by the use of uGolden Medical
Discovery that the cure is permanent.
In many instances the testimonial to
the cure has not been offered until the
lapse of several years proved how
thoroughly and lastingly the medicine
had done its work.
No class of people are more grateful
for the blood purifying power of the

which come back when Golden Med.

In the days when the only means of
rapid communication with PASSPORT,
Me-, was by steamboat for Portland and
st. John, N. b., Bert Bean, CONNER
cial traveller from Boston, paid visit to
CampobeIlo Island, which belongs to New
Brunswick, though only a short distance
down the harhor. Bean had little
money, and liking the island he bought
a tract of land on top of the hill. His
purchase contained about 100 acres, in the
middle OF which was small pond In a
hollow about 2O0 feet above tidewater,
which washed the.shore less than seventy
five rods away. AS the pond was fed by
springs, Bean had it stocked with trout,
which were caught In brooks on the main
land ana brought over in pals. Then he
went away for four years. On his return
the pond was swarminR with line trout.
Though the place had BEEN ftshed by ex'
pert anglers, they had never met with
any luck, because there were so many
caddioe worms and other insects In the
water that the fish mad no need Tor TAX
ing the hook.
Bean consulted a lawyer and found
that as his pond contained less than ten
acres 10 was his to. hold and protect
against all comers. he waited lew
years longer ana sent down crew OF
men, who tored a hoIs from the shore
