THE OCEANS DEEPEST HOLE.
SPOT in the Pacific which wen De-
serves the Name Of ''Dnvy
JOnes' LocIser.n

The private retreat of Davy Jones
has been at last discovered, and this
fact is noted as a triumph for Amer
lean geographical science, SAYS the
Brooklyn Eagle The deepest hole in
the oceans bottom is found 100 miles
from Guam, recently acquired
American territorial possession. 1t is
about five miles deep, 2s,s7s feet,
practically the height of Mount Ever
est. This hole should not be con-
founded with Davy jones' locker gen
orally. The sailorman recognizes the
entire salt sea expanse as the "Lock-
er," Davy standing for the evil spirit
presiding over the demons OF the
vastly deep, visible to the eye of
superstitious Imagination as a mon.
ster of gigantic mein, having an
enormous mouth, three rows of sharp
teeth, huge eyes and nostrils emit
ting blue flashes. His particular
headquarters have been unknown un-
til the Albatross discovered and faith
omed it, amid great professional and
lay excitement. The place where the
sounding was made is called the
Tonga-Kermandie deep of the Moser
basin. Sailormen, supposed to have
the greatest fear of shadows and
rocks near the surface, will, on the
contrary, very likely feel like giving
this locality wide berth. If hui
man body could be lowered to the
bottom of this stupendous hole it
would probably be pressed by the bill

THE PRESIDENT
OF the City Council, Wilkes
barre, Pa, Cured of
Rheumatism.

Col VIM. J. Harvey, a president Of
Wfikesbarre's city council, who will long
be remembered for his great work for the
city, was once a mere physical wreck,
torn in every muscle and nerve from the
friqhtfui pains caused by rheumatism.
He consulted the best physicians, went
abroad, took mud baths, and almost
every known treatment for the disease.
Afriend had had avery similar experience
and DR.. David Kennedys 3 Favorite Rem
edy had cured him, 50 he recommended
this great kidney medicine to Col. Harvey
and he is to-day a well man, hale and
hearty. He writes straight to the point:
DR.. DAVID KENNEDY,
Dear Sir This is to certify that |
was permanently cured of rheuma-
tism by the use of DR.. David Ken
nedy's Favorite Remedy.
WM. j. HARVEY.
Rheumatism Is but another name for
uric acid poisoning which is caused pri-
marily by diseased kidneys. Cure your
kidneys and the rheumatism disappears.
For all diseases of the kidneys, liver
bladder and blood, rheumatism, dyspep-
sia and chronic constipation, as well as
sicknesses peculiar to women, DR.. David
Kennedys Fayorite Remedy is unques-
tionably the greatest medicine known to
the medical profession.

motive were CLOSED.

The editor Of the French paper, Jour
nal de Diibouti, who has just returned
from DireDaouah, recounts an extra
ordinary adventure which occurred to
the passengers Of the train IN which
he was travelling. After passing the
bridge of Chebele the engine suddenly
became powerless to draw the tram,
and its wheels revolved without max
ing any progress.
The passengers alighted to see what
had happened, and found an extraor-
iinary state Of affairs. The line was
severed with thick layer of grass
hoppers, and the wheels Of the engine

crushed so many Of these insects that
they had become clogged with a sticky
mass which entirely prevented them
from getting a grip of the rails.
All around the ground was covered
with yellow carpet of grasshoppers.
By means of sprinkling sand and peb-
bles on the rails the train was at length
able to continue its journey, but after
passing Holholl the incline became so
steep that the engine, which was then
proceeding at about ten yards a min
ute, again failed to grip, came to a
standstill, and finally, dragged by the
heavy train, started to run backward
down the slope.
At first the brake failed to act, the
mechanism having become clogged by
the grasshoppers, and an accident APP
peared to be inevitable, when fortu-
nately, by great effort. the train was
brought to a standstill. The train,
needless to say, was several hours late
In arriving at its destination.

John Foster. the agent for the United

in the name OF the American Government
for its courtesy. Lord Chief Justice Al
verstone paid 4 tribute to Mr.. Dickinson
and the session broke up.
The closing moments were marked by
an intensity Of interest hitherto lacking
in the proceedings As AIr Dickinson
finished his argument and commenced his
references to international relations and
the possible effect OF the verdict thereon,
the members Of the tribunal and the other
listeners appeared to grasp the true i'm
port OF the proceedings, which had almost
been lost sight OF in the pulling tech

shrouded.

Government OF Great Britain and America
that judgment and justice wiI be exalted

attention OF mankind and distinguish
this tribunal above all others.

What could give higher inspiration to

posing counsel and Lord Chief Justice

Lord Aiverstone said he had heard many

the fairness and impartiality with which
