are perishing by hundreds. A Trip

100 miles west of that point is covered
with snow two feet deep, making it
impossible for stock to secure food.

MISSING MAIL CASH FOUND.
fouch Containing $4,000 Turns Up
at Cincinnati Office.

INDIANAPOLIS. Ind.-The missing
mail pouch containing $4,000 has been
found and is now safely housed in the
Office of the superintendent Of mails
here. The missing pouch arrived here
Tuesday from Cincinnati.
The theory is that the pouch in this
instance lost it's destination tag, and
that the mail clerks mistook it for one
containing other empty pouches that
were being sent back to Cincinnati.
The pouch probably went to the Gin
cInnati pouch storage room and lay
there unopened.

SEES SALVATION IN TRUSTS.
Holds Combines Alone Able to Meet
American Competition.

BERLIN.-Minister o. Comerie Mel
Ter, in the course of an address in the
chamber of commerce, said:
The United States will be Ger
many's chief competitor in the worlds
markets in the future. We must
therefore learn from the Americans
to adopt their business methods, the
salient feature of which is the concen-
tration of capital and trade into
trusts.
The strong repugnance existing in
Germany against such combinations
will certainly be replaced in time by
a better view, especially after the
evils Of the syndicates have been re-
moved.

Never in the history of medicine has
the demand for one particular remedy
for female diseases equallee that at

during the lifetime of this wonderful
medicine has the demand for it been
so great as it is to-day.
From the Atlantic to the Pacific,
and throughout the length and breadth
of this great continent come h glad
tidings of woman's sufferings relieved
by it, and thousands upon thousands
of letters are pouring in from grateful
women saying that it will and posi-
lively does cure the worst forms OF
female complaints.

Left-Handea Ping-Pong.

A southern girl gave a left-handed
ping-pong party which proved the jol-
liest sort of extravaganza. The game
was, of course, ping-pong but played
with the left hand instead of the right.
What a difference it madel The crack
ping-pongers were reduced to the level
of the %veriest tyros and ones most
strenuous efforts resulted in absurdly
low scores. 1t so fell out that the town
champion in ping-pong received the
BOBBY prize. The prizes were little
silver pins in the shape of ~racquettes,
with a box of ping-pong candy IS boo

decorated in japanese style, the favors
being japanese dolls filed with sweets.
Ice cream took the form of the balls
used in the popular game. Sandwiches
were cut with a sharp tin cake cutter
the form of a racquette, with small
olives pressed down into the break to
give the effect of balls.-N, Y. Sun.

FOUGHT A SWORD FISH.
Block Island Fisherman Has Desper'
ate Encounter and is Badly Wound

ed.
New York. July 11.-Christopher
Horwaugh, one of the best known nsh-
ermen OF the fleet which halls from
Block Island engaged in terrific bat
tie Thursday with a swordfish which
weighed 500 pounds. In the battle Hor-
waugh sustained injuries which sent
| him to hospital at Providence. The
injuries were received thru the f1sn
ramming its sword thru the small boat
which Horwaugh was in and into the
latters body.
Horwaugh was one of the crew OF
the catboat Lindsey. Capt. Edwin
| Dodge. When six miles south of the
island a man on the masthead sighted
| a huge fish. A boat headed for 1t. When
the boat neared the fish Capt. Dodge,
! sighting the monster about three feet
below the surface, threw a harpoon
with good aim 1t struck the sword1ish
and Horwaugh went off in small boat
| to finish it off. Hauling in on the
| line he easily came up with the fish. the
latter being perfectly quiet until the
| fisherman came up. The fish then be-
gan to circle swiftly around the boat
which Horwaugh was in. 1t swept
around the boat dozen times as fast
as 1t could swim until the tish's tail
grazed the fisherman's head. The fish
then dived deep. and, turning quickly
came up directly under the stern OF
| the boat. Horwaugh was standing IN
the stern. The sword struck the bot
ton of the boat, penetrated it, and en-
tered the fsherman's left leg and was
forced thru the fleshy part, the point
of the sword being pushed entirely thru
the flesh, coming out at the hip. the
weapon with which the fighting FISH
cut the man was over three feet long
| and the wound it made a tearing one
nearly thirty inches in length. The
| flesh or Horwaugh's leg was torn from
| the bone. The struggle between the
man and fish was observed by those or
the fishing boat and the crew OF the
Lindsey went to the rescue as soon AZ
possible. Horwaush was found to be
terribly torn and was bleeding profuse-
ly. 1t was feared he would bleed tc
death If the flow was not stopped ane
with the injured man aboard the boat
made for the harbor. The Lindsey ar
4 rived at Block Island shortly after noon
and Mrs. Hustled and Chaplin attended
and advised Horwaugh's removal tc
a Providence hospital.
