London, August 13.-Ann 0delia
Diss Debar, who under the name of

DECEMBER 30, 1901, to seven years
penal servitude for connection with
an immoral cult known as the "Ocrat-

having obtained the maximum educ

Nine. Diss lDebar has, been known
under many names in the United
States and Great Britain, but her
greatest notoriety was achieved as
the perpetrator of the so-called spir-
itualist deception by which, Luther R.
Marsh, of New York, was in his old
age stripped Of his fortune, which he
had accumulated in the practice Of
law.
In 1899, she was run out OF New
Orleans with Theodore Jackson,
whose wife she then said she was.
A year later they turned up at Cape
town, South Africa, where Mime Diss
Debar called herself Helena and Jack
son Vnlled himself Horos. Occult
ism and hypnotic performances were
the order there and one of her South
African dupes, wealthy contractor,
gave his money to the woman to es-
tablish a colony of brotherly love.
Soon afterwards the pair went to Lon
don, where they promoted the Ocrat-
ic Unity. organization, scandals in con-
nection with which led to their ar
rest in September, 1901. The trial
which was continued at intervals for
three months developed facts of such
loathsome nature that several Of
the London papers excluded from
their columns all reports Of the pro-
ceedings in court.
M. Justice Bingham summed up
strongly against the prisoner, saying
it was difficult to conceive Of more
revolving and abominable conduct
than that which had been attributed
to them. The jury quickly sentenced
Jackson to fifteen years penal servi-
tude and his reputed wife to seven
years penal servitude.

fciaica Cured After Twenty Years OF
Torture.

For more than twenty years Mr..
J. B., Massey, of 1922 Clinton St.,
Minneapolis, Mimi, was tortured by
'ciatica. The pain and suffering
which he endured during this time
IS beyond comprehension. Nothing
gave him any permanent relief until
he used Chamberlain's Pain Balm.
One application of that liniment re-
Iieved the pain and made sleep and
rest possible, and less than one bottle
has effected a permanent cure. Mr..
Massey relates his experience Tor the
benefit of others who may be SINH
larly afflicted. If troubled with
sciatica or rheumatism why not try
25-cent bottle of Pain Balm and see
for yourself how quickly it relieves
the pain. For sale by l.. l.. Elgin

Probably there IS not in the whole

as the only proof Of what outbreed-

This outbreeding has made them
hardy and vigorous. and accounts for
their possessing these qualities to
such marked degree.
The color of the Reds makes them
very desirable for the country, for
they are not so easily seen by hawks
and other chicken enemies.
1t is this same color that makes
them so well suited for the city yard.
They do not show dirt, smut or

Much has appeared in the poultry
press during the past few years in
praise Of a breed of fowls called the
Rhode Island Reds.
The Reds, as they are commonly
called, are comparatively speaking,
unknown in the South, and while new
to this section are not a new breed.
as so many think. For more than so
years they have been bred extensively
in Rhode Island and have proven the
most profitable breed that the thrifty
New Englanders could find.
The Reds, while possessing the
usual good qualities, are especially
noted for their heavy laying and ex
treme hardness, both as young chick
and fowl.
In and around Little Compton, r.
T., where the breed originated, thou
sands of these Red hens are kept for
eggs and their fame as layers has
spread rapidly in the present decade
until now the Reds are highly popu-
lar in the East and North, and with
a rapid increase in their favor in the
West. The South is just taking them
up, and as it is freely admitted that
they are one Of. the very best of all
the utility fowls, these good qualities
will soon commend them to us.
The Reds are strikingly handsome
in appearance. They are the only
breed that has this distinguishing
unique color-red.
We can only describe colors bycom-
oarison, and as there is nothing in
Nature comparable with the coloring
If fine Rhode Island Red male, we
cannot describe his color. 1t has been
compared to the color Of a cherry
Just before it is fully ripe, a little
lighter than a fully ripe red cherry,
and that is as near as you can get it.
One prominent Red breeder has
said, Even judges disagree. in the
color description of a good Red, but
once they have seen one Of those gor-
yeous colored males in the sunlight,
all descriptions fade away and in its
place comes'a desire to possess one or
more that will approach or equal him

The. red hens are a more solid, even
shade of reddish buff, with beautiful

They are the size Of the Rocks, but
have longer deeper bodies. They
have rich yellow legs and skin, and
when dressed make one Of the best Of

The breed gets its name from the
color Of the male and the state where
it originated.

HOW MEN DIED ON THE MOBILE.

During the Spanish American war the transport
Mobile left Santiago bne Sunday evening about
O'Clock with 1000 meli board. 1t was voyage
full of horrors and the hellish aftermath of war
was seen unmasked in all its grim visage. Cap
tain Leyden made bet with General Ludlow that
he would arrive at Montauk Point and be am
chored by s o'clock Saturday night. This wager
operated to prevent any stops or essening of speed
during "burials." 1t might be well to state here
that General Ludlow won whatever money wa.
staked, as we were not at anchor until 80 p. m.
Nine men were let down into the depths of the
sea during the short voyage and another died while
we were close to shore, escaping a waterv grave.
