MANDARIN OF THE
Precious Ruby Clasp.

An illustrious Chinese Mandarin was put on the famous American food Grape-Nuts, and he and his wife cured of stomach and kidney trouble and heart disorder after he, in particular had been pronounced by his physician incura ble.
 His letter is written by his inter- preter and signed with his Chinese sig nature. It recites, "For three years I was under the care of the best physic- ians in Russia, Germany, France Am erica. as well as my own country. I had tried baths and water cures almost without number. I grew worse until finally my physician pronounced me in- curab and l was doomed to die in from three to six months
 A friend prevailed upon me to change my food and take up GrapeNuts. This I did more to gratify my friend than from any benefit I expected but within o4 hours the results were so gratifying as to astonish and delight myself and family.
 My improvement continued without relapse until at the end of three months I was well and sound, weighed more and was stronger and had better ap- petite and more perfect digestion than at any other time in my life.
 My wife was also a victim of serious stomach trouble from which she had suffered for several years. She has been restored to good, robust health by the use of Grape-Nuts.
 I have recommended it in about half Q dozen families and it has never failed to benefit I will be pleased to reply to all letters having stamped envelope enclosed Pax Cav Nun, Mandarin of the Ruby Button, Member of the Iliterati, Magistrate of the Order of the Manchusian Crane, Order of the Girdle of the Jade and Precious Ruby Clasp, Servant to His Imperial Majesty the Son of Heaven, etc, etc.
 His interpreter and secretary, D. Per civale Baker, adds to the letter, T am familiar with all the facts related by Prof. Pax and know them to have been moderately stated. I also, and my family have received much benefit from the use of Grape-Nuts,'

I have not yet seen an intoxicated person in Madeira, and it is said that there is absolutely no drunkenness among the natives. The same rule seems to hold good in all wine-produc- ing countries. Neither in Portugal, France nor Spain, nor on the Rhine, nor in beer -guzzling Germany does one see a millionth part of the inebriety which disgraces the United States of America In Madeira, where wine is drunk much more commonly than water, a person who once becomes intoxicated is looked upon as something worse than thief The natives say that necessity may compel one to steal, but nothing save his own degraded inclinations can lead him to drunkenness.

BODY NOT YET FOUND
1t is Believed That Mr.. Ray
Was Murdered.
The Negro in Jail in Danger If the Body of The
Missing Man is Found by The
Searchers.
Especial to News and observer.)


Troy, n. c., April 29.-Vigorous search
is still being made for the body of Mr..
Ray, whose mysterious disappearance
and probable murder is the sensation of
this section of Montgomery county. Over
three hundred men are searching for the
tody of the missing man and the coun-
try is being secured in all directions.
The negro who is suspected of being
implicated in the disappearance is under
arrest and in the Jail here. The evil
dence in hand going to show that Ray
was killed is such that of his body is
found a lyncding may take place. The
reward of a thousand dollars offered by
the lumber company for Rays body is
stimulating the search for it.
The suspicion against the negro ar
rested comes from the fact that he de-
manded of Mr.. Ray, who was the book
keeper for the Mills Lumber Company
here, money which Mr. Ray had reserved
from his wages TO pay for medical at
tention given the negroes wife by DR..
Thompson. This the negro had asked to
be done. but later demanded the money
and was heard to say that he would
have it or kill Ray.
Mr.. Ray declined to give the man the
money. Last Monday Ray disappeared
being last seen leaving the mill at Vesta
on his way to another mill to pay off
the men. The negro arrested was seen
shortly afterward coming from the direc-
tion in which Ray had gone, and when
q soar,h was instituted for RAYS body
the earth at this place was found to
be spaded up as if to remove blood and
everyW here there were signs of strug-
gle. Two clubs made from the limbs OF
| trees were found and a negro woman
| living near by says she heard two pistol
shots about the hour the men must
| have met.
The excitement, in place of subsiding
is increasing, and this is added to by the
report that Mrs. Ray, the wife OF the
missing man, is so prostrated by griel
that it is feared she will lose her rea-
| sOn.

Washington, D. c., April 29.-Under a
special order which allowed the three
hours debate but cut off all opportunity
CT amendment the House today passed
an Omnibus Public Building Bill which
will distribute $17, ,405, ,450 among ia
cities. AS the bill covers into the treas
ury 81, ,5S5 900, the total amount carried
by the bill is reduced to that extent
The bill provides for n new buildings
and sites, six buildings Oh sites already
purchased, seventeen buildings on dona-
ted sites and ffty-eight increases i'll ap-
propriations for buildings already au-
thorized. 1t also provides for the pur-
chase of sixteen sites.
The majority for the bill was so over
whelming that only nine members backed
a demand for the ayes and noes on the
passage of the bill. There was some
criticism of the method by which it was
proposed to pass the bill without Oppor-
tunity for amendment, which Mr.. Mer-
GER, chairman of the committee, answered
by stating that if the bill bad been sub
iect to amendment the appropriations
carried by it would have been increased
to $60000,000.
Mr.. Richardson (Tenn.), opposed the
addition of the special order saying that
this method of legislation could not be
justified by any course of reasoning.
Among those who spoke on the bill were
Messrs Bartlett tGa.), and Small IN. CO.

THE PHILIPPINES SITUATION.
Spirited Debate of Two Hours Engages the
Attention of the Senate.
(By the Associated Press.)

(By the Associated PTeSS.J
Washington, April pa spirited and
at times heated discussion of the Philip
pine situation occurred in the Senate to-
day. 1t revolved around the order al
legged to have been issued by General
Jacob A. Smith to make the Island of
Samar a howling wilderness, and to kill
all male inhabitants over the age of ten
years. The debate took a wide range,
however. and many other points were
discussed.
When the Philippine Bill was laid be-
fore the Senate no Senator was prepared
TO deliver a set speech upon it. Mr.
Lodge, Mass, in charge of the measure,
said ne felt compelled to press it for
consideration. His remarks drew the
fire of Mr.. Teller. Colo, who criticised
the Republicans for not participating in
the discussion. This precipitated the
debate and for more than two hours it
continued.
During Mr.. Teller's remarks Mr.. Till
man, Is. c., said it was reported that
the Government was very polite to the
warlike dattos of Mindanao and observed
that consideration was shown Moham-
medans of that island. while cruel treat
ment was meted out to the Christians OF
Samar.
Discussing the alleged order of Cen
eral Smith, Mr. Teller said he understood
that General Smith had tried to justify
his order by what is known as the Tom
Ewing Order" During the Civil War,
by this order, the population of two coun-
ties in Missouri was deported and the
property destroyed. He was proceeding
to characterize the action of the Ameri-
can army in the Philippines as most
cruel and barbarous when he was inter
rupted by Mr.. Spooner with the inquiry,
Does the Senator not remember Fort
Pillow
what does the Senator mean by his
reference to Fort Pillow?" inquired Mr..
Carmack, Tennessee.
Il had in mind" replied Mr.. Spooner,
what has been considered a massacre OF
colored troops there"

SUNDAY FIRE
Eleven Families Were
Burned Out
IN MONTPELIER
Large Tenement 8|oek Near.
" Destroyed
IN MONTPELIER
Especial to Telegram.)

Montpelier, Feb. 24.- One Of the
worst fires In recent years occurred
here Sunday morning when the four
story tenement house formerly known
as the "Hillside' on Court St., was
nearly destroyed.
The fire started at about l.30 Sun
day morning and was due to defec.
tive fiue.
When the family in whose tene.
ment the fire originated, discovered
smoke issuing from the chimney
around the stove pipe, they immedta.
tely summoned aid from the police
station and Officer Bingham arrived
on the scene very few minutes later
with an extinguisher. he quickly
tore away the stove pipe and part Of
the partition disclosing roaring mass
of flames between the first and second
floors. BY this time an alarm lad
been ruug in which was speedily res
ponded to by Hose and 4 and the
Hook and Ladder.
The flames by this time had reach
ed the top floors and all possible
speed was made by the ten
ants and fire laddles to save the
furniture, although the flames
had secured good start. The boys
worked like Trojans and after two
hours struggle finely succeeded in get
ting them under control.
The building was occupied by eleven
families, all OF whom suffer consid.
erable loss. As soon as they could
make their way out Of the building
they scattered in all directions taking
as much Of their belongings with
them as possible. Some OF them
found shelter for the night in neigh
boring houses while others went to
hotels.
The building was owned by Melville
E. Smile and Insured for $4,000 in the
Vermont Mutual Fire Insurance Co.
The loss will probably not exceed
$4,000.
Considerable excitement was Great
ed by q second alarm which was
sounded at about 4 O'Clock Sunday af-
ternoon, calling the company to Sib'
ley avenue where chimney was quiet
ly burning out on Mrs. Bianchi's res
i1ence. No damage was done how
ever.
