THE SICK ADMIRAL
 NO GREAT CHANGE
His Condition Though Is One to War
 rant the Gravest Apprehension.

Washington. Feb. L. Alarming rumors Were anoat here today to the effect that Admiral Sampson had taken d serious turn for the worse within the last tv.erty-four hours. Inquiries at the Sampson residence and of naval physi- clans developed that there had been no decided change in the admirars condi- ticn but that q steady retrogression is in progress which is common to his dis ease.
 IL was stated authoTitatively that what had been used as basis for the reports of a serious change for the worse was a slight attack of indiges- ton. which caused no alarm among those nearest him. but which confined
 him 10 his room and bed for several days Moreover, it was stated that Ad-
 miraI Sampson's condition was much
 improved today and he appears
 brighter than for some time past. It is
 confidently expected that he will be
 able to come down stairs to his meals tcmorrow, and it is said that as soon as the streets are dry the admiral will re- Sume his daily walks. which have beer interrupted by an attack Of indigestion and the bad state of the weather. However. 1t may be stated that Ad- niral Sampson's general condition is such as to give some basis Of fact to l the ever recurring bad reports. Yet al | present it is said. that absolutely nl i forecast of the end of the fight his vitality is wasinS can be made.

COFFEE EYES. It Attacks Many Persons There.

To illustrate how coffee can effect the la. are quoted.
 ''I was brought up to believe that tea was injurious but was allowed to drink coffee from childhood. Ever since can remember I have been subject to severe attacks of headache, otherwise my health was pretty good until q short time ago my eyes became affect ed; they ached and pained me continu- ally and were often badly intlamed. I also had queer, dizzy feelings in my head almost continually
 One time We were obliged to do with out milk or cream for q few weeks. and not relishing my coffee clear I left off it's use. In short time l was sur prised to find my eyes greatly inn proved. and I felt better in every way. still I did not mistrust the coffee, and began it's use as soon as we got cream again. Within d few days my eyes were worse than ever. Then l resolved to quit coffee absolutely and take up Postum. This I did and my eyes quickly recovered
 My experience shows that while cof- fee caused headache and eye trouble Postum Food Coffee does not produce any bad effects whatever and is greatly strengthening and nourishing." Name given by Postum Co, Battle Creek, Mich.

4 CREMATION
 OF CHILDREN

Cumberland, Md, Feb. At o'clock this morning the farm house of Will ian P Robertson. about twenty nine miles east of here. on the Maryland side of the Potomac river. was de stroyed by fire and four of the Robert son children. Pearl. owen. Fife and Joseph. the oldest aged 10 and the youngest years were creTndted. The fire, which is thought to have started from sparks from an open hearth, spread so rapidly that Mr. and Mrs Robertson found ali means of escape gone for the children, who were asleep in another room. and they were com pelled to jump from a second-story window, dressed only in their night clothes, in order to save their own lives.
 The parents made several futile at tempts to reach their children. but were driven back by the flames, and after the fire had subsided somewhat they were almost frozen before aid came from the neighbors. Robertson says the hearth fire was well covered, and that the fire. which started from the lower floor, must have been of in- cendiary origin.

terest of science through Mexico, Ce2- tral America and a portion of South America. During their absence the members of the expedition braved many perils and suffered much hard ship and sickness, contracted in the fever infected land through which they travelled. Practically the entire jour ney from Provo, Utah, to Bogota, Co lombia, was made with mules as the only means of transportation. BogOta was the terminus of the expedition, the unsettled condition of affairs in that country rendering further eXploratio sNtrcmely dangerous. The work of the party wlll be resumed as soon as condi- tions fin Colombia become more settled.
 Professor CluH is greatly pleased with the results of his Journey. The grandest ruins seen on his trip. he says were those at Copan, in Honduras. These he considers the monuments of a vanished civilization which reached q higher point than at present in archi- lecture and many other skilled accom- plishnents. The conditions in Colom- bia as depicted by Professor Cluff are frightful. He declares that the war is rapidly reducing both sides to q state of barbarism.
