Port Jefferson, i. l., Aug, 11.-Alone
for a week with mailman in the
lighthouse on Stratford shoals, fight
ing day and night to prevent himself
from being killed and to keep the light
burning, is the awful experience thru
which First Assistant Keeper Merrill
Huse9 has just passed. #
Stratford Shoals light is in Long
Island sound, midway between this
harbor and Bridgeport. It is a lonely
spot at all times, and when Julius
turned from a few days. leave Of alb
sence a re,ving maniac as the result of
too muck drink, the tiny rock became
bedlan1. st,7t s.H,.
F Ccstsr, armed with razor, tried to
kill Huse and himself. Overpowered
after an all-day battle, the mailman
finally desisted.
One night the crazy man tried to
put out the light, and did stop it from
revolving. After desperate struggle
Huse finally threw Coster down the
started the light going again. i
With Keen Weapon.
Coster was rowed out to the light
early last week, when Principal Keep per
Rutland departed for the mainland, not
noticing the assistants condition. AS
slstant Keeper Huse very soon discov-
cred the state Coster was in. The wild
man secured razor, and, flashing the
blade in the handle, making a formid-
able weapon, he started out in search
OF horde of imaginary enemies.
When Huse saw him next, Coster was
hard at work with a hammer and chisel,
cndeavoring to take bricks from the
side Of the tower, He told Huse his
foes were pursuing him and were hid
den in the brick sides of the lighthouse.
This went on for an entire week, the
second assistant keeper having to fight
Coster at ali times, day and night.
Stopped the Light.
One day Coster made up his mind
that he would stop the light, and after
hiding himself in the evening, went UP
and stopped the lenses. Fortunately he
only stopped the light from revolving;
he could not put it out. 1t would GER
tainly have menaced the large sound
steamers had the light gone out. Huse
fought with Coster in the narrow pas
sagewe, in the light tower and sue
ceeded in throwing him out of that
portion Of the tower.
Then the crazed mans delirium took
another turn and he endeavored to
kill Huse and himself. He attacked
Huse but was beaten off, after which
he hacked his throat with a razor. His
wounds were not serious, however, and
Coster, on the following day, stabbed
himself with heavy pocket knife.
Then his mood changed again; he
went about for day and night seek
ing imaginary foes, Inevitably winding
up with an attack on Huse, who dared
not lie down, and was obliged to sleep
in a chair n1aced AGAINST the door Of
the sleeping apartment, into which the
mailman dashed at all hours Of the day
and night. Huse was forced to fight
for his life without hope Of outside as
sistance and there was no way of leav-
ing the light.
Finally on the sixth day Keeper Ru-
land arrived and Coster was overpow-
cred and brought to Port Jefferson,
where he was attended by physician.

CATARRE1
A UNIVERSAL DISEASE

!; Catarrh usually begins with cold in
the head, but does not stop there. The
mucous membranes all become infamed
and secrete filthy, unhealthy matter
which is absorbed by the blood and dis
tributed to all parts of the body. The
patient is then continually hawking
and splitting, the nose is stopped up,
the ears have a ringing or buzzing noise,
the throat becomes sore, and as the un-
healthy matter more thoroughly satu-
rates the blood general feeling of des-
pondency takes possession Of the system.
I had Catarrh for about fifteen years,

Local applications cannot cure Catarrh,
because they do not reach the seat of the

to treat it through the blood, S. S. S. soon

Chicago Chronic


 Though vastly more is known of the am cient history of the horse than of the origin and descent of man. there is one mystery connected with eouine annals that bids fair to never be solved. It has to do with the total disappearance of the ouadruped from America a few thousand years ago. where previously 1t had roamed in countless mum bers not only over the whole of the United States but all the way from Patagonia to Alaska
 When Columbus landed he found no horses The earliest Spanish conquerors, when thax came. saw none. In fact. the Indians re- garded with alright the horses which the Spaniards brought Not only had they nev- CT beheld such brutes. but their traditions gave no account ot anything in the least resembling them. All of the horses in American today have been bred from Euro pean stock.
 What, became of the Nancisut American horses whose bones are dug up in great quantities in various parts of the IJnited States, especially fin Central Oregon and along the Niobrara River In Nsbraska7
 To what cause did they owe their sxtinc- tion? No one can even offer plausible guess. They are too numerous and too swift to have bean exterm3nated by savage hunters The glacial epoch could hardly have frozen them out, for the great ice sheet extended only as far South as Philadelphia and St. Louis
 Nevertheless, they vanished utterly--leav- ing behind them. however. a wonderfully complete record of their family history In

What Sulphur Does


 The mention of sulphur will recall to many of us the early days when our mothers and grandmothers gave us our daily dose of sulphur and molasses ev- cry spring and fall.
 1t was the universal spring and fall "blood purifer.' tonic and cure-all, and mind you, this old-fashioned remedy was not without merit.
 The ideaA was good, but the remedy was crude and unpalatable. and large quantity had to De taken to get any effect.
 Nowadays we get all the beneficial effects of sulphur in a palatable. col- centrated form, so that a single grain is far more effective than tablespoon full of the crude sulphar.
 Tn recent years, research and exrori- nnent have proven that the best sulphur for medicinal use ts that obtained from Calcinnl Calcium sulphide) and sold in drug stores under the name of stu arts Calcium Waters They are small chocolate coated pellets and contain the active medicinal principle of sulphur In a highly concentrated, effective form
 Few people are aware of tbe value of this form of sulphur In. restoring and maintaining bodily vigor and health; excretory organs and purifies and en- riches the blood by the prompt elimi- nation of waste material.
 Our grandmothers knew this when they dosed us with sulphur and mo- Iasses every spring and fall, but the crudity and tmpurity of ordinary flow CTS of sulphur were often worse than the disease. and cannot compare with the modern coa sentrated presentations of sulphur. of which Stuart's Calcium Waters is undoubtedly the best and most widely used.
 They are the natural antidote for liver and kidney troubles and cure con 'stIpation and purify the blood ih a way that often surprises patient and physi- elan alike.
 pr. R. N. Wilkins while experiment. ing with sulphur remedies soon found that the sulphur from Calcium was su- perior to any other form. He says: For liver, kidney Sand blood troubles, especially when resulting from consti- pation or malaria. I hayeSbeen surprised ct the results obtained from Stuarts Calcium Waters. Tn patients snffering from botls and pimples and even deep seated carbuncles. have Repeatedly see them dry, up and disappear in four or five days, leaving the skin clear and sIn2th Although Stuart's Calcium waters Is a proprietary article, and soia py all druggists. and for that req son tanooed by many physicians, yet for constipation, liver and l<iSnev trou- bleS and especially In all forms Of skin disease as his remedy" .

CHEAP FARES IN ENGLAND.

 Any Time to Any Place.
 United States Consul Mabin Of Not tingham reports that the multiplicity of special excursion and wsek-e end rates makes 1t possible to travel almost anywhere in England at almost any time, for fraction of the regular fare. These low rates usually apply to only third class. but sometimes are extended to the first. when one may travel first-class at less than or- dinary third-cIass fare--that is, for less than cents a mile in a compart- ment equal to the American Pullman or parlor car. The regular fare from Nottingham to Skegness, a seaside re- sort seventy-three miles distant is $2.37 first-class and si.50 third. one way nd-trip-week-end tfrom Friday to Tuesday, tickets cost s1.9t first-class and $1.2l third, or i-3 cents a mile first-class.
 Every week one or more special at- fractions in London give occasion to offer low excursion rates, and. in ad- dition. every Saturday round-trip reduced rates ore given on one-half day up to six-day tickets. The regular third -class fare from Nottingham to London, l25 miles, is SPAS. The spec-' ial round-trip fares are $1.os for half day and s3.40 for eignt days. Only halliday tickets are limited to special excursion trains The others are good on ordinary trains. Most local people who can arrange to return within the time limit go to London on these tickets. As would naturally be ex- pected, people who do not intend to return often buy day or halliday tickets because they are cheaper than the regular one-way fare and sell or give away the return coupon in Lon don, but in spite of this the railways evidently find advantages in continu- ing such rates.

Firing sandy Hook Gun.
 Chicago Chronicle
 The amount now spent for education in the United states is s2oo.o0o. 900 year. From present. indications the annual appro- priation for the navy alone will soon large ly exceed this sum. with prospects of indefi- mite expansion. Until recently the combined military and naval expenses of the country were less than one-fcurth of those Of edu- cation. We are. therefore. progressing four times as fast in the arts of war as In those of peace.
 The latest type of battieship will cost ss,ooo.ooo to build as much as the entire appropriation for th, army and navy during the eight years of ,washnRtof's presidency. since which time the military and naval ex- penses have Increased fifteen times as fast as the population--and when this ship is fn- ished it will be merely an experiment. Eng land has had the largest experience in naval construction and has recently declared a great number of her warships to b~ useless, Eight million dollars is more than three times the cost of all the buildings and equip ments of Tufts Collexs. Boston University. Williams college and Amherst college.
 The yearly maintenance operations. in- terest on investment. deterioration and gun practice of this battieship will exceed si.- Soo. o.0oo--a sum sufficient to pay every living and educational expense of 5000 young men or women In our best colleges ar to meet the school expenses of 5o.ooo children. It costs more for the material to fira one shot from the gun at Sandy Hook than 1t did to educate Daniel Webster. A days gun practice of a single shin fiviug at imaginary enemies costs more than it did to educate Emerson. Longfeiiow. Lowell and Phillips in Harvard college
 Any increase in appropriations and naval activity immediately produces a correspond ing increase in activity by the other great naval powers of the world and this. in turn excites is to further expenditase. sa none gains anything in relative strength. The burden Is merely increased The taxpayers of the different naval powers Of the world are kept In a state of continual excitement and fear by the activity of the others. each believing there is an intention to secure some reason can be offered in explanation of this extraordinary and unprecedented growth.
 There have been necessary and honorable wars and the future may have others in store. There nobler sentiments than those of peace--duty. patriotism. justice honor-but above them all we may write love to man. To deny. one penny of neces- sary appropriation or to cease one moments needed activity in any genuinely patriotic cause Is wholly un-American that it need not be referred to.
 But 1t is far better to direct our iabofp toward the things that will build us hp rather than toward those that tend to pull us down. It Is far nobier and more in ac- eordance with the spirit of American de- velopment and progress to direct our ener-- kies Into the channels through which we may upfft our entire country and aid the whole world. sft sA
