ence between Mrs. Chadwick, her son
and Lawyers Carpenter and Powers.
Mr.. Powers believes that as a result
of the interview Mrs. Chadwick will at

current about the Tombs that a re-
quest for the appointment of a COM
mission to examine Mrs Chadwick as
to her sanity will be made.
This afternoon Marshal Henkel an

livered an ultimatum to her attorneys
to the effect that if bail was not fur

preparations for her immediate return

HEAD SOLID SORE
Awful Suffering Of Baby and
SIeepless Nights Of
Mother.
CURED BY CUTlCURA
Skin Fair as a Lily with no Scar

Writes Mother.

"T herewith write out In full the be-
ginning and end of that terrible disease,
eczema, which caused my babe untold
suffering and myself many sleepless
nights.
My babe was born seemingly a fair,
healthy child, but when she was three
weeks old a swelling appeared on the
back of her head, and in course OF time
broke. It did not heal but grew worse,
and the sore spread from the size Of
dime to that of a dollar. / used all
kinds of remedies that could think Of,
but nothing seemed to help; in fact, it
grew worse. Her hair fell out where
the sore was, and feared it would never
grow again. 1t continued until my aged
father came on q visit, and when he
saw the baby he told me to get Cuti-
cura Soap and Ointment right away.
To please him did so, and to my
surprise by their use the sore began to
heal over, the hair grew over it, and
to-day she has nice head of hair, her
skin is as fair as lily, and she has no
scar left to recall that awful sore, and
it is over eight months and no sign Of
its returning"

Your letter of the 18th inst. received,

that time was solid sore on top and

Pittsburg Dispatch: The charge that
the transcontInental railroads were re-
sponsible for the complications which
for a time threatened to postpone in
definitely the realization of the isthmian
canal project was sufficiently supported
to Justify more than a suspicion of its
truth. The reported revival of the sea-
level canal agitation in congress is con-
firmatory. Having failed in the effort
to defeat the canal it would be natural
that the opponents of the project should
next seek to obstruct and delay the
completion of the waterway as long
as possible. The substitution of the sea-
level plan for the lock system would
mean the doubling of the cost and
twice as long for construction. 1t is
significant that the revival of this sea-
level talk should be coincident with the
return of the congressional junketing

At daybreak the Russian forts open
