Appearance of Warshtps Caused Ter
ror at LaGuayra.
LaGuayra, Venezuela, Dec. 16.-The
arrival of the British cruiser Charyb-
dis and torpedo boat destroyer Quail
caused a bad scare among the popula-
ton of this place. The commander
of the fortress has visited the Ameri-
can, French. Spanish and Dutch con-
suls and asked them in case the Brit
ish landed marines to intervene to
prevent firing on the fort and to delay
any movement on the fort, he had
received orders from the government
to evacuate the place. He added if
the consuls refused to obey and the
fort was attacked he would defend his
post and could not aswer for the con-
sequences to the town which is with
out any defense now with the excep-
ton of a few armed policemen.
At 5 O'Clock, however, the Charyb-
dis and the Quail left LaGuayra and
the fears of the population subsided.
What caused the alarm was the fact
that when the British ships arrived
here they took up a commanding posi-
ton, their guns covering the fort and
remained stationary for few mo-
ments as if to open fire. The Charyb-
dis and the Quail steamed away in the
direction of Quracoa The foreign
consuls subsequently called on the pre-
feet, who assured them there was no
danger at present.

Few people can understand the feel
ings of the pugilist as he is being counted
out. He hears the seconds licked off.
He struggles to rise, but struggles in
vain. He has lost the fight.
There are some who are making a
losing fight for life that can appreciate
this those whose lungs are diseased.
With every tick of the watch, they know
that they are being counted out.
The great question is how can a quick
rally be made to continue the fight
against disease? Many who have asked
that question have found satisfactory
answer in the use of DR.. Pierce's Golden
Medical Discovery. It cures bronchitis,
obstinate, deep-seated coughs, henor-
rhage, night sweats, ernaciation, and
other conditions which if neglected or
unskilfully treated may find a fatal
termination in consumption.

Golden Medical Discovery - writes Mr.. John T.

were astouished and said they did not think

not been for your wonderful Discovery would

ALMOST SEWERS MANS HEAD.


Wounds His Mother and His Sister.
Finishes Horrible Work by Shooting
Himself to Death.
LaPeer, Mich, Dec. 16.-John Best,
aged 20, single, a man of disordered
mind, arose from his bed shortly af-
ter O'clock this morning and cut
Jasper Clegg's head nearly off with a
razor, dangerously wounded his own
mother, wounded his sister and finish
ed the bloody work by shooting him
self to death. Clegg, who was 60
years of age, boarded at the Best
home. Best was committed to the
insane asylum year ago, but was
discharged as cured.
1t is thought Best attacked Clegg
with razor probably before the old
man awoke. The blade of the razor
was broken by striking a bone in
Clegg's neck. The murderer then
evidently returned to his own room
and to bed. The bedding in his
room was covered with blood.
At later hour he again arose and
went to the room of his mother. He
struck Mrs. Best a blow with the
damaged razor, but 1t fell short, though
her chin was nearly cut off. She
sprang out of bed, grappled with the
crazy man and made her way to the
door. Here she broke away from
him and ran to neighbor's, where
she telephoned for the sheriff. When
his mother fed from the house Best
invaded his sisters sleeping room. Al
ter he had slashed her across the
cheek with the razor Best desdsted
probably believing he had killed her
When Best heard Sheriff Myers enter
ing the house he appeared with a re-
volver and began shooting wildly. He
aimed the last shot at his own body
and fell dead.

DEAR SIR:-Some years ago l operated float

merations was being constantly changed, and nv
hands were always exposed to the worst malarial
influences. I employed over one hundred hands,
and the work was conducted as much in water as
out of it, For this reason, in August and Septem-
Der there was great loss of time and business, on
account of sickness among the workers.
Ny attention was then called to Johnson's Chill
and Fever Tonic, and L determined to give the
medicine trial. [ procured 1t, and those who
we're sick put on this treatment and those who
we're feeling badly were at once given the Tonic.
In a short time every one ofthe one hundred hands
was well and reported for duty; and from that time
on used nothing else but Johnson's Tonic, and
never had another case Of fever.
