a MILD CASE

Of Contagious Blood Poison never exis-
ted. It is always bad, though sometimes
no external symptoms of the disease ap-
pear for a long time.
Because the disease is slow in devel-
op1ng does not indicate that the case Is
a mild one, for the poisonous virus at
work in the blood and system may be
vital organ while you are looking for ex-
terna1 signs. Contagious Blood Poison
does not affect all alike. In most cases
the first little sore is quickly followed by
painful swe11ings in the groins, a red
eruption upon the body, sores or ulcers
in the mout and throat, unsight1y copper
co1ored b1otches, loss of hair and eye
brows and other symptoms of this miser-
able disease. When the poison IS thus
fighting its way to the surface, exposing
the disease in all its hideousness, we call
it a bad case; but Contagious Blood Poi
son, whether working internally OF exter-
nally, is a dangerous, t~reacherous disease.
S. S. S. is the only remedy that cures
Contagious Blood Poison thoroughly and
permanently. It is an antidote for the
deadly virus that produces the awful
eruptions, sores and ulcers, and destroys
the bones. Mercury and Potash dry up
the skin e~ruptions, but in so doing drive
the poison further into the system, where
it s1umbers for a time, but comes back
again with redoub1ed fury.
S. S. S. is a vegetable remedy that has
been used successfully for years in treat
ing this vi1ediseaseand

N~~ forms. IF you have the
"a slightest symptom ; an
&ag4@ @sz@A% @@ occasional sore mouth,
or muscular and bone
pains, your b1oodis tainted and the disease
IS liable to break out again at any time.
A course of S. S. S. will remove every
trace of poison and at the same time
build up you general health.

Government Troops VIII Enforce Or
der If Necessary.
MADRID, Aug. A. The threatened
general strike has commenced in sew
eral centers, including Barcelona, Muir
cha, Cadiz, Ronda and Alcoy. The gem
eral unrest is largely attributed to bad
harvests, but the immediate motive for
the strike is to REINFORCE the demand
for the release of numerous workmen
who have been thrown into prison for
offenses in connection with recent
strikes. The leaders Of the movement
are exhorting the members Of the
trades unions not to return to work un-
til all the imprisoned men have been
released.
The government has taken stringent
measures to cope with disturbances.
The military forces and the civil guards
have been REINFORCED wherever neces-
sary and the troops have been confined
to barracks. The instigators of the
strike are threatened with severe PEN
alties.
The residence Of the mayor and a
number of private houses at Alcala,
province Of Cadiz, have been attacked
by strikers, who exchanged shots with
the gendarmerie.

Correspondence Of the Associated

The Sentry publishes an article to-

The condition of the stricken fami

aware that this unfortunate, nay dis
graceful circumstance, is the direct re-
suit OF the acts of a despotic governor.

In such matter as the settlement OF

Annos Vale land without placing al

the prospect of their obtaining sufic-
lent employment for q livelihood was
the faintest. The result Is that many
of these people, weakened by constant
hunger, have fallen easy victims Of the
malaria that fingers in the stagnant
pool near which they have been lodged
Nor are these the only batch of refu
gees thus deprived Of the human COM
forts which belong to them out Of the
relief funds that were subscribed by a
sympathizing world on their behalf.
Others, though better located, are also
suffering from want of food, the en-
ployment afforded on the estates near
by being inadequate to keep them, and
there are until now large numbers of
these half-naked laborers still living
under the temporary shelters at Colon
arie, and under dirty, tattered tents
which were erected In the center at
Barrouallie for over a twelve month.
These temporary shelters are hardin
gers of disease and immortality.
'Tn the face Of all this misery, a
sum of $125,OOO to the credit of the
Soufriere relief fund was recently re,
mitted from this government to Eng
land at cost of $1,000 to be invested,
it is said, for the permanent interest
of the colony as IL the work Of reliev-

pleted."
The Sentry expresses the hope that
its exposure Of the situation in st VIM

ken up In the British parliament.

: One of the most cheering sights OF
the day was displayed to passers-by
in Park Row little after noon, says
q New York exchange. A very SOL
emn. fat reporter came down out of q
newspaper office with a camera and
thermometer. He wandered about
the open space disconsolately and
drippingly looking for the hottest spot
After awhile he found a handy place
near the Franklin monument which
seemed to be the focus of more sun
rays than any other. There he sol
EMMY set up the thermometer, waited
until the mercury refused to rise any
higher, and then photographed the
record. Then solemnly and drippingly
he retired to the picture department
OF his newspaper.
A few minutes later another young
man, from rival newspaper, appeared
In a secluded spot In William street,
near the bridge arches, and likewise
produced thermometer. He, however,
produced match which he lighted

BUFFALO, Aug. 4. - A fierce riot
broke out in front Of the Niagara ele-
vator, on Ohio street, and as result
forky-f1ve Italians are under arrest and
detectives are locking for more. For

scores of shots were exchanged. i
The fight took place between employ
ees OF the Niagara elevator and Itai-
ians who are employed at the plant OF
the Buffalo Union Furnace company.
It is said that the riot was provoked
by an employee Of the Niagara eleva-
tor, who called "Scab!' at the Italians
as they were passing along Ohio street.
When the arrested men were ar
raigned James Bona pleaded guilty to
carrying a revolver and was sent TO
the penitentiary for ninety days. Leo

Coal Miners Strike without Unions

WILKESBARRE, Pa, Aug. 4.-The

velop into pretracted struggle. The
miners have been out for twelve days,
and the leaders Of the United Mihe
Workers have informed them that they
could not and would not sanction their
course, and for that reason they could
not give them any support or order
them to return to work under the ex-
listing circumstances.
Notwithstanding this state Of affairs
the strikers refuse to return to work,
and they propose to continue the strike
upon their own responsibility. The
strikers have made an official state
ment In which they recite their alleged
grievances. They ask for the reinstate-
ment of an employee who was dis
charged by mine boss without cause,

READING LAND BILL
Duke of Devonshire Urges
House to Pass It.
FOR THE BENEFIT OF ALL CLASSES
Expenditure OF 98O,OOO,oOO Was In
the Nature of a Treaty Of Peace
and May Prove of Ina
menae Reneflt. -

LONDON, Aug. 4.-The Duke Of Dew.
Dnshire moved the reading of the Irish
land bill in the house Of lords. He
used the same arguments in favor OF
the necessity for passing the measure
as were previously uttered by George
Wyndham, the Irish secretary, in the
house of commons.
The duke declared that the govern
ment was confident that the expendi-
ture of f60,00o,0OO provided in the bill
would be finally compensated econo.
mics in the judicial machinery and the
reduction in the police expenses which
the adoption Of the measure would
render possible.
In conclusion the speaker declared
that the house Of lords could not sub
stantially alter the bill as adopted by
the house of commons without serious
risk of losing it altogether. The bill
was in the nature Of a treaty or instru-
ment Of peace and, although 1t would
be rash to predict that it would prove
"a final settlement Of the Irish question,
any serious alteration would release
the contracting parties from the obi.
cations mutually undertaken. Never
before, he said, had the representa-
tives of the various interests concerned
asked parliament to sanction settle
ment the main principles Of which
they had themselves suggested.
Many others spoke, very few show
ing disposition to prolong the discus
sion Of the bill. One Of its stoutest OPP
ponents was Viscount Hampden, LIB
eral, who characterized it as thorough
ly mischievous and corrupt. He said 1t
would result in land war more fierce
and imbittered than any which had
preceded. Lord Londonderry, Conserv-
ative, claimed the measure was for the
benefit and welfare of all classes and
entailed no risk whatever to the impe-
rial exchequer.. Earl Spencer, Liberal,
supported the bill, saying he thought
the possibility of settling the agrarian
difficulty justified even the large ex-
penditure involved. Lord Lansdowne,
secretary Of state for foreign affairs,
did not share the sinister views which
had been expressed regarding the effect
of the bill on resident landlords. On
the contrary, he believed the measure
was SO framed as to induce them to re-
main in Ireland, and he expressed the
hope that both the landlords and ten
ants would do their utmost to make it
successful.

Turclxovvslxi Trial ana Execution
WaM Record.

W@@ u RECORD
OSSINING, N. Y, Aug. 4.-Antonio
Turckowski was electrocuted in the
Sing Sing prison for the murder of
John Shepoloslzi, a Brooklyn saloon
keeper.
Two applications Of the electric cur
rent were required before the physi-
clans pronounced him dead. Just be-
fore reaching the chair he collapsed en-
tirely and had to be dragged to the
place and strapped in the chair.
When the procession was started
from the cell for the death chamber
the condemned man set up loud cry,
shouting:
IT am innocent! I must have anoth-
er trial! do not know for what am
to der .-
He could not bring himself to believe
that these moments We're his last and
that in a minute he would be dead. He
Historically cried and repeated that he
must have another trial. If he prayed
it was silently. The attendants believe
that he was so frightened when he
reached the chair that he was unconr
scious and practically dead.
The execution of Turckowskf is prob
ably the swiftest from the time Of the
crime until the execution in the history
OF the state, excepting that Of the as
sassin of President Mckinley.
Turckowski killed John Shepoloski, q
saloon keeper, at rs North Sixth street,
Brooklyn, the night of March 9 last.
There had been a meeting in the sa-
loon that night for the collection OF q
fund for q Catholic church. At B
o'clock the next morning Mrs. Shepo-
loski notified the police that four men
had entered the saloon. had assaulted
her husband and had killed him by
beating his skull in with beer mallet.
