Guess Auain.

An old lawyer tells this story Of one
of his experiences, years ago, in cross
examination. The witness seemed to
be disposed to dodge his questions.

want the facts. We are competent to
form our own impressions. Now, sir,
answer me categorically."
From that time on he could get lit

France Admiral O'Neill will visit Ger

Speaking generally, my observations
lead to the conclusion that the armor
and armament of American ships are
equal to or superior to those of the best
foreign fleets. Some claim that the Euro
peans have superior heavy rapid fire
guns. My inquiry also shows that our
rapid fire guns do not suffer in compar-
sion with the best foreign types"

NOT CAUSED BY FISH.
OBSERVATION OF DIR. TURNER
REGARDING LEPRosY
Results of His Investigations Among
Patients in South Africa-Be-
heves Infection Is Due
to Some Vermin.


Leprosy must now be added to tbs
other scourges which afflict South Az
RIGA. Until recently the extent 10
which this disease was prevalent in
South Africa was little known The
fact that 1t existed in the TransvaaI
was practically quite unknown. vet
DR.. Hurner, the health officer of the
Transvaal, reports that whereas there
were 1O9 cases in his charge in 1895
there are now over 200. DR.. Turner
adds the remarkable fact that no one
knows how many lepers there are in
the Transvaal. He says that a medical
officer who had been in charge of the
lepers and had taken much interest in
the matter asserted that there were at
least 5000 in 1900.
The disease is defying the most
heroic efforts at its determination In
Cape Colony, while it is also spreading
In Basutoland and elsewhere. The
worst afflicted are the Hottentots; the
Kaffirs, with the exception of the Eu-
ropeans, being the least affected,
Prof. Jonathan Hutchinson's theory
That eating fish, especially cured, is
the chief cause of the disease has been
fully set forth. His arguments and
statistics are cogent, but hitherto have
found little support. DR.. Turner. as
the result Of most careful investiga-
ton, differs absolutely from DR..
Hutchinson.
Ohlc1al returns show that 10 per
cent. of the total amount of fish en-
tering the Transvaal goes to Johannes
burg. Nearly all of this is eaten by
whites, but until December there was
not a single European in the johann
nesburg leper hospital. Then a man
who was born in Europe was admitted
He was member of a large family,
all OF whom are living in the Trans
Vaal. None Of the others is a leper
In DR.. Turner's opinion, his disease
was clearly the result Of contagion, as
he habitually associated with a leper.
or DR.. Turner's 210 patients, "A per
cent had eaten fish, only II per cent.
OF which was cured fish. Among the
white lepers 90 per cent had eaten
hsh, 40 per cent. of which was cured
hsh. Among the colored patients, who
made up four-fifths of the total, only
80 per cent. ever tasted fish, and only
ten had eaten cured fish.
DR.. Turner Is convinced that conta-
gion is the most usual means OF the
spread Of leprosy He treated a few
cases in which it was possible to asser,
that its origin was hereditary, but
practically none in which contagion
could be excluded and several in which
contagion was the sole explanation
He believes it will eventually BID

OF the infection.

One man who has done more to teach
the American people how to care for their

carried to nourish every organ of the BODY
1t is, therefore, vitality necessary for the
body that the stomach be in a healthy
state. If disease of the stomach, or what is
called stomach trouble" prevents proper
nutrition then the heart, liver lungs, and
kidneys do not get proper food-thev are
not fed on rich red blood, and in conse-
quence, begin to show signs of distress.
Outwardly these signs may be pimples
and eruptions on skia pale face, sleepless
nights, tired, languid feelings or, by reason
of the nerves not being fed on pure blood,
they become starved, and we receive
U1rntng in the pain we call neuralgia.
Rheumatism, too, is blood disease. After
years of practice and study Dr. Pierce
found that an Alternative Extract, which he
named "Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Dis

PARKER OPPOSITION WANING.
He May Win on First Ballot, But No
Effort is Beino Made to That End.

ST Louis, july 7.-Ex- Senator David

was making no effort to nominate
Parker on the first ballot. 1t was slf-
ficient. he said, to know that he could
be easily nominated without creating
friction by shutting out favorite sons
All candidates should be presented 70
the convention and voted for OH the
first ballot. he argued, and that Will
probably be the course pursued. The
fact that New Jersey this morning fin
ally voted to cast its votes for Parker.
however made it apparent that Hills
program may be shattered. for that
course left the opposition with appar-
emily less than a third Of the conven-
ton on the first ballot.
At Tammany headquarters Mr.. Mur-
ply said he still believed Parker could
not be nominated. 1t was said about
the Hobbies that concentration on No
Clellan was being suggested, but only
Missouri and Wisconsin had shown any
signs of assisting. When the allegaa 4
concentration was told to Senator MUIR
ply, Jr., Of New York, he said such
talk was ridiculous; that Parker will
surely be nominated.

Senator Smith made the announce

caucus at the LindeIl hotel at j O'Clock.
and to the Massachusetts delegation,
which has been besieging the New Jer-
sey men with requests for information
as to where Cleveland stood. The an
nouncement created a sensation among
the two delegation and turned the tax
more strongly toward Parker.
Ex-President Cleveland's letter to
Senator Smith, who is the acknowl-
edged leader of the twenty four New
Jersey delegates, was written June y,
and its contents have not before been
given out.
The caucus adjourned after short
session without taking any definite ac-
ton on New Jerseys course in the con-
vention.
Senator Smith was asked what the
probable choice of New Jersey would
be.
There is strong sentiment for Par
ker among the delegates" he said. He
refused to venture a prediction as to
whether this sentiment would crystal.
ize into a resolution to vote for the
New Yorker. It is generally believed
TINT New Jersey and Massachusetts
will cast their first ballot for Parker.

was granted whereby it was made pos

marry.
