Southampton Gave the Statesman a
Geat Reception.

NdNt tht ottttSmuh n
Geat Reception.
London, March 4-"Suthampton
welcomes home Britain's empire states
man" in huge letters, surrounded and
entwined with Union Jacks and Stars
and Stripes, was the. motto that first
greeted Colonial Secretary Chamber
lain and Mrs. Chamberlain on landing
at Southampton to-day from South
Africa
The travellers had a magnificent
greeting. The quays were deliberately
decorated, the ships were dressed
rainbow fashion and rounds of cheer
ing and the blowing of whistles and
sirens greeted the liner Norman, as
she passed up Southampton water with
Mr.. and Mrs. Chamberlain, accompa-
MED by Lord Seldorne, first lord of the
admiralty, standing on the promenade
deck.
AS soon as the steamer was warped
to the dock, Mr. Chamberlain's friends
went on board. They were shortly
afterwards followed by the Mayor and
corporation of Southampton, who well
coined the travellers. The Mayors
daughter then handed a bouquet to
Mrs. Chamberlain, and procession
was formed with the Mayor and Mrs.
Chamberlain leading, and Mr.. Cham
berlain and the Mayors daughter COM
ing after them, and walked through
cheering crowds to the reception hail.
Mr.. Chamberlain was bronzed, but
he looked very thin and appeared to
have aged considerably. He showed
evident pleasure at the heartiness of
the welcome.
The MARTY than antarad wi c-aS
and drove through the thronged and
decorated streets to Hartley Hall, the
scene of so many previous functions
connected with the South African war.
There an address of welcome was pre-
scented to Mr.. Chamberlain, who in the
course of his reply, warned the coun-
try not to over-estimate the results
he had actually achieved. He was
hopeful and even confident that the
Dutch of South Africa would hereafter
Loyalty take their place as members
| of the empire to which they now be-
| longed, but it could not be expected
| that the long record of vacillation
and weakness which led to the war
would be wiped out in the twinkling
of an eye.
Subsequently, Mr.. Chamberlain and
his party took a train for London,
where a large crowd awaited their
arrival. Premier Balfour and practical
| ly the whole cabinet were present at
| Waterloo Railroad station to meet Mr..
Chamberlain. The greetings which he
received were everywhere cordial.
Mrs. Chamberlain came in for a full
share of the welcome. Special cheers
| were given for her, and in the greet
| ing of the deputation from Birming-
ham, which went out to meet the Nor
man in the Soent, she was specially
| mentioned.

NEGRO QUACK
MURDERED MANY
Many Sensations Will Be Unearthed From His
Practice in Philadelphia

arrests will follow, but naturally We
cannot talk about that phase of the
case at this time. There are a number
of developments expected.
The developments of yesterday are
only a small part of the case as far as
Hossey is concerned. The detectives
are still at work on the investigation
and will continue for some weeks yet"
Physicians in all sections of the city
have reported cases to the district at
torney that probably will lead to the
opening of many graves and to the
holding of as many inquests by the
coroner. In each case the patient
first appeared with a minor complaint
which grew worse and which, just be-
fore death, manifested what are now
recalled as the usual symptoms of ar
senical poisoning.
Seven of those practitioners were
closeted with District Attorney Shroy
er for several hours to-day, during
which time they went over the office
records in the mortality cases and
frankly stated their suspicious. In
each of these a thorough investiga-
ton was ordered, and the local man
ayers of all life insurance companies
were asked for information concerning
the policies paid upon the risks in the
cases.
The records of the Bureau of Health
show that Hossey issued death GER
tificates over his own signature as
George Hossey, M. d." and the au-
thorities are doing their utmost to dis
cover how and from whom he obtain
ed the blank form.

,amHEY BREATHE IT.
A Few Minutes Use of Hyomei Four
Times a Day Cures Catarrh.

The pleasantest, most convenient
and the only scientific method for the
treatment and cure of catarrh is Hyo-
mel. Simply put twenty drops of Hy-
omei in the inhaler that comes with
every package and then breathe it for
a few minutes four times a day.
1t seems remarkable that so simple
a way of treating catarrh will effect
a cure. but the most important discov-
cries Of science have always been the
simplest. By breathing Hyomei in
this way every particle of air that en-
tiers the air passages of the throat and
head and goes into the lungs is charged
with a healing balsam that kills the
germs and bacilli of catarrh and
soothes and allays all irritation. .
The first days use of Hyomei will
show a decided Improvement and in
short time there will be no further
trouble from catarrh. It's action Is
rapid and lasting.
You take no risk in buying Hyomei.
A complete outfit costs S1.00, and if
after using you can say that it has not
helped you Knights Pharmacy Co.
will return your money. What other
treatment for catarrh is sold under
guarantee like this? None other has
sufficient merit.
