Not enough Of the details Of the pay

The eastern dailies continue TO talk
about democrats and democracy and
the confusion grows more confounded.
In the present state Of affairs the
words democrat ana democracy
are meaningless, unless accompanied

question has to be asked: Are you a
Cleveland democrat, a Bryan demo-

1t takes lots of vitality, nervous force ara

without good red blood a man has

Tonics consisting of iarges portions of
alcohol, iron or cod liver oil, do not bring
the desired changes in the blood, because
they do not enter the system and are not
absorbed into the blood, with the excep-

Fatalities in Family.

Charles Bembridge Long, well-known
brewer of Portsmouth, England, has just
received a message from South Africa in
forming him that his son, Lieut.. Cuih-
bert Long, ofthe Second Dragon Guards
Queens Bays, wasaccidentally shot on
Saturday while examining a revolver,
and that he died on Moulay. The young
officer went to South Africa only three
months ago. This is the fourth of q re-
markable and pathetic series Of tragedies
in this family. Sometime ago a daughter
of Mr.. Long was scalded by accident in
her bath and died within few hours.
Then Lionel Long. a son, was examia-

Crnel Treatmant to a Girl.

A dispatch from Geneva says that the
sensational trial Of the editor Of the
Swiss journal La Lutte Tor slandering a
young lady Of Fins Haut named Henri
eta Gay, whom be described in an arti-
Gle As being possessed OF an evil spirit,
has led to very curious comments upon
the case in other papers.
The Geneyois relates how the priests
for three whole months endeayored to
drive the spirit from The girls body by
means of exOrcism. She was taken
barelooted on repeated pilgrimages TO
the Converts of st. Maurice and St.
Bernard, and as none Of these attempts
were successful, a priest, one Jean
PALLET, determined on grand effort.
One Saturday afternoon at O'Clock he
caused the church bells to ring an
alarm. When the church WAS filed by
an astouished, wondering crowd the
doors were locked and the priest pro-
ceeded to exercise the spirit without
ceasng until Sunday morning. During
the exorcism the poor girl was dragged
by the hair round and round the chnrch,
while the priest every few yards stopped
to strike her on the face and body, pro-
claiming to the congregation that in
reality it was the evil spirit he was beat
ing. This was only one OF many at
tempts at public eXorcism which were
endured by the poor, helpless girl,
whose real malady was form Of cpl
leptic hysteria.
The editor of La Lutte who had been
heavily fined for giving full publicity to
the affair, seems worthy Of praise rather
than blame for, owing. to his regela-
tions, it is not likely that repetition Of
such barbaric practices will be permitted
even in the superstilious Swiss high
lands

PROTECTING ST. PETERsBURa.

Remote as now appears the chance
that the japanese feet will ever be in 4
position to venture up the Ballic and
make a demonstration against the Rus
sian capital, or that a European power
viii be drawn into tie war, Russia eyi
dently is taking nothing for granted.
The possibility of the fall OF Port Ar
thur or a disaster to the Baltic squadron
after the latter sails for the far East has
been considered, and no precaution will
be omitted to protect St. Petersburg
against attack,
The fortGcalions of Riga, in the
southern part Of the Gulf of Riga, and
Reyal, at the entrance OF the Gulf Of
Finland, have been strengthened. Some
new guns Of the latest pattern have
been mounted in the Fortress Of Cron-
stadt, and a chain Of water batteries,
running out on either side Of the shores
of the Gulf Of Finland, viii guard the
entrance to the mouth OF the Neya.
This system of Notifications was
sufficient to discourage the attack
planned by the British fleet during the
Crimean war.
Iu addition, however, shore batteries
have been constructed near OrIuien-
baum. on the Gulf OF Cfonstadt l9
miles from St. Petersburg, and Scs,ro,s-
etsk on the Sestra river, and II miles
from ST. Petersburg, probably as a pre-
caution against landings, us it is be-
leyed the fo,ts are able to stop the adj
vance Of hostile fleet
The approaches to Cronstadt are also
being mined, and merchant ships are
forbidden to enter the port without a
pilot to conduct them through the mine
fields. Owing to the extensive work Ia
progress at Cronstadt in connection with
the preoaraiion Of the Baltic squadron
the Central Basin, heretofore reserved
for merchant ships, has been appropn-
ated by the navy. Rigid regulations
are enforced against anyone approach
ing the fortifcations. The Grand Duke
Vladimir, commander Of the military
district OF st. Petersburg, has just COM
pleted an inspection o. the shore bat
teries.

saws that ChamberlaIn's Stomach and
Liver Tablets have done him more good
than anything he could get from the
doctor. If any physician in this country
was able to compound a medicine that
would produce such gratifying results

be used in preparing this one medicine.
