All the Companies Claim to Be Running
Well.

New York, Aug. l7.--Interest in the
telegraphers' strike centered yesterday
IN the probable effect of the general
strike order issued by President Small
Of the national union, and which called
upon all operators employed by the com
mercial telegraph companies and those
working private and leased wires, not
under private contracts, TO 20 out.
Throughout the east there were few, if
any. responses to the call This was
explained on the ground that all opera.
tors who would strike had already quit
work, and the strike order was given
only as affording official sanction Of the
action already taken by the strikers
without the previous approval or con.
sent of the national officers.

BUT CUTICURA WORKS
A MIRACULOUS CURE

when my little boy was six months
old he had eczema. The sores extended
so quickly over the whole body that
we at once called in the doctor. We
then went to another doctor, but he
could not help him, and in our despair
we went to a third one. Matters be-
came SO bad that he had regular holes in
his cheeks, large enough TO put finger
Into. The food had to be given with
spoon, for his mouth was covered
with crusts as thick as finger, and when
ever he opened the mouth they began
to bleed and suppurate, as Cd also his
eyes. Hands, arms, chest. and back, in
and over. We had no rest by day or
night. Whenever no was laid in his
bed, we had to pin his hands down,
otherwise he would scratch his face and
make an open sore. think his face
must have itohed most fearfully.
We finally thought nothing could
help, and had made up my mind 10
send my wife with the child to Europe,
hoping that the sea air might euro him,
otherwise he was to be put under good
medical care there, But. Lord DO
blessed, matters came differently, and
we soon saw a miracle. A friend of
ours spoke about Cuticura. We made
trial with Cuticura Soap, Ointment,
and Resovent, and within ten days or
two weeks we noticed a decided inn
provement. Just as quickly as thu
sickness had appeared It also began 10
disappear and within ten weeks tho
child was absolutely well, and his skin
was smooth and white as never before.
