A Well Known Remedy.

One of the oldest, safest and most
favorably known remedies in the
world today is Brandreth's Pills-a
blood purifier and laxative. Being
purely vegetable they can be used by
old or young with perfect safety and
while other remedies require increased
doses and finally cease acting alto
gether, with Brandreth's Pills the
same dose always has the same effect
no matter how long they are taken.
One or two pills taken each night for
a while is the best thing known for
any one troubled with constipation, in
digestion, dyspepsia or any trouble
arising from an impure state of the
blood.
Brandreth's Pills have been in use
for over a century and are sold in
every drug and medicine store, plain
or sugar-coated.

of high pressure that has occupied the
Lake region and northeastern districts
for several days past has changed its po-

Steamer Titan Fast onthe
Beach at St. Johns.
Grew Had Fought Fire at
Sea for a Week.


st. Johns, N. F.. March 25.-After be-
ing in peril from fire at sea and manag-
ing by desperate efforts to reach this
port in the midst of a gale and blind
ing snow storm the British freight
steamer Titan struck submerged
rock in entering the horbor late last
night, had 4 hole torn in her hull and
today lies fast on the beach where she
was put to prevent sinking. The fire in
the midship hold is still burning fierce
ly, while in the forehOld the water ad-
mitted by a jagged cut in the hull has
reached a depth of nine feet despite the
continuous working of the steam
pumps. The Titan is in no serious dan
ger on the beach, but it is probable
that before the fire amidships can be
eXtinguished the midship hold will have
to be flooded. This will make the work
of floating the vessel much more diff
cult. 1t is believed that the greater por-
ton Of the cargo has either been
burned or ruined by water.
The Titan sailed from New York
March IS, for Manchester. Early yes
terday she was reported afire off Sa-
bic Island and endeavOring to make
this port. The report created alarm for
the safety of the crew as it was feared
that in that storm she would be unable
to gain the harbor. Despite her dis
tress and the thick weather. however,
the steamer managed to make the out
er harbor where she picked up a pi-
lot. The ship had barely gotten under
way again to proceed to an anchorage.
when she struck. At first it was be-
lieved the damage was not serious and
the fire in the hold still held the atten-
ton Of the officers when the steamer
began to list. The pumps had been set
to work Immediately when the vessel
struck. but the water steadily gained.
In fear Of sinking in midstream the
captain headed the vessel for the shore
and ran her fast aground.

before the court for sentence. On being
asked by Judge Spear if he had any,
thing to say before sentence was i'm

voice: "All I have to say is that am

then read to him the sentence Of i'm

ThoinastUn for the term OF his natural
life, which Chick took without emotion.
Just before sentence was imposed

room and called for the county attor-

she desired 4 final interview with the
prisoner before her departure on the

to ask the return Of her rings and pock-
