miral Davis Report on the
Kingston Incident.

cal terms President Roosevelt Fri
day approved Admiral Davis entire
action In connection with his visit

the secretary Of the navy to express
to Admiral Davis his heartiest conf
mendation of all, that he did. The
long expected report Of Admiral
Davis Of the circumstances leading
up to the withdrawal Of the fleet
from Kingston reached the Navy de-
partment and was at once laid before
the President. Inasmuch as the
president already has announced
that the diplomatic phase Is closed
incident, the report itself will not be
made public. However, Secretary
Metcalf gave out the letter of Ad-
miral Evans, commander-in-chief of
the Atlantic, warmly commencing
Admiral LAWS for his conduct of a
situation, which was, to say the
least, somewhat embarrassing"
The correspondence Is supplement.

tion of Admiral Davis by the presI-
dent and by Secretary Metcalf.

Caution,

limitations have been placed upor
the market SO closely resembling All
cocks Plasters in general appearance
as to be well calculated to deceive. II
is, however, in general appearance
only that they compare with Allcock's,
for they are not only lacking In the
best elements which have made ALL
cocks so efficient, but are often harm
full in their effects. Remember that
Allcock's are the original and only
genuine porous plasters-the best ex-
ternal remedy known-and when pur-
chasing plasters the only safe way is
to always insist upon having Allcock's.

NERVOUS HEADACHES
Or. Williams Pink Pills Will Cure
Most Cases and Should Interest
Every Sufferer.

Nobody who has not endured the
suffering caused by nervous head
ache can realize the awful agony of
its victims. Worst of all, tne ordin-
airy treatment cannot be relied upon
to cure nor even to give relief. Some
doctors will say that II person is
subject to these headaches there Is
nothing that can be doae TO prevent
their recurrence.
Nervous headaches, as we'll as neu-
ralgia, are caused by lack Of nutrition
tho nerves are starved. The only
way to feed the nerves Is through the
blood and 1t Is In this way that DR..
Williams Pink Pills have accom-
plished SO many. remarkable cures.
= Mrs. Addie Merrill, of 80 Union
Street, Auburn. Me-, says For
years | suffered from nervous head
aches, which would come on me every
five or six weeks and continue for
several days. The pain was 50 severe
that | would be obliged TO go to bed
for three or four days czech time. It
was particularly intense over my right
eye. tried medicines but got no re-
lief. mad no appetite and when
the headache passed away T-felt as IL
had been sick for a month. MY
blood was thin and was pale. weak
and reduced in weight.
Il read about DR.. Williams Pink
Pills In a paper and decided to try
them. / first noticed that they be-
gan to give me an appetite and /
commenced to gain In weight and
color. My headaches stopped and
have not returned and | have never
felt so well as | do now"
Dr. Williams Pink Pills are sold
by all druggists or sent. postpaid, on
receipt Of price, SO cents per box, six
boxes $3.50, blythe pr. Williams Medl.

Universal Atmosnhere.

The Swedish savant Ryberg has
suggested that the discovery of the
element metargon in the air strength.
ems the theory Of the existence Of a
universal atmosphere extending be-
tween the planets and throughout the
solar system. This, It is said, was
already known to exist In the sun be-
fore Its discovery, some eight or nine
years ago--that is, In the immediate
surroundings of the sun, in all COM
cts and In meteorites--from which
facts the Swedish scientist infers that
1t constitutes common atmosphere
tor our system.

Thinks Little Of Chinese Army.

Dr.. Morrison. the well-known CORE
spondent Of the London Times at Pc
king, went to see the recent maneu.
vers of the modernized Chinese army
in the neighborhood Of Cnang-te-fu.
He describes them as a repetition. of
the performance of 1905-a set piece
carefully prepared long beforehand by
a number Of Japanese advisers. The
inefficiency of the officers is. still con-
spicuous and the field training Of the
men inadequate, but the material is
good. DR.. Morrison hints that with
out Japanese officers to direct affairs
the contending armies would have
been little better than a rabble.

THE WHITE PLAGUE
SYSTEMATIC WARFARE WAcED
TO WIPE OUT CONSUMPTION.
Warning That Intemperance Increases
the Liability to Contract Disease
NEGLECTED Colds Prolific
Source.

Organized effort Is now being made
throughout the United Stated to fight
consumption. A warning is given
against Incorporate habits. which in
crease the liability to consumption,
while splitting is public places is de-.
precated, as the disease Is frequently
contracted from dried sputum.
Colds should not be neglected, as
they leave the lungs in a peculiarly
receptive condition for the tuburcu-
lar germ. The following simple for.
mula will break up cold in twenty
four hours A leading authority on
lung trouble says that when pre-
pared from pure ingredients, 1t will
cure any cough that is durable.
Take half ounce Virgin OIL of Pine
(Pure); two ounces glycerine and
half pint good whisky. Shake well
and use in teaspoonful doses every
four hours.
The ingredients can be secured
from any good prescription druggist
at small cost, and to avoid substitution
!. should be purchased separately and
mixed in your own home
Virgin OIL of Pine (Pure) is put
up In half-ounce walls for dispensing.
Each vial is securely sealed in a
round wooden case, with engraved
wrapper, with the name-Virgin Oil
of Pine (Pure), prepared only by
Leach Chemical Co., Cincinnati, o.
plainly printed thereon. There are
many rank limitations Of Virgin Oil Of
Pine (Pure), which are put out under
v;rious names, such as Concentrated
Oil Of Pine, Pine Balsam, etc. Never
accept these as a substitute for the
Pure Virgin Oil Of Pine, as they will
invariably produce nausea and never
effect the desired result.

Bio Task for Enulnesrs.

Engineers have never doubted the
possibility of transmitting power from
the Victoria falls Of the Zambesi river
to the great gold fields of the Trans.
vaal, $50 miles distant, but they have
questioned the economic soundness Of
such an undertaking, on commercial
scale. Nevertheless, contracts have
been let which show that the work
will be undertaken. 1t Is the most
extraordinary electric power scheme
ever attempted.

The ownership Of the national
banks of the United States is not in
the hands OF the rich few, as is COM
monty supposed, because fully one
half Of the banks have capital of
less than 100000 each. Twelve per

remain there for a day or two. I'm be-
ter, and though I've cut the affair It the
barracks to might, fully expect to be
up and about this afternoon. Ever yours,
GEO. MGREGOR."
"Oh, so Carr is on his back and likely
to remain there, is he? Very likely,
expect; but / wonder what it means I
hope the Colonel hasn't been very drastic.
However, everything seems right; in fact,
better than l hoped"
In this more cheerful frame of mind I
arose, breakfasted at leisure, and set out
for the bank about eleven.
Of course the first person l met on the
street was of the last | wanted to
meet, namely, Donna Antonio. She was
on horseback, and her horse looked as if
he'd done some work. AT the sight of me
she refined up, and 1 could not avoid
stopping as lifted my hat.
Whence so early?" l asked
'Early?" she said. II don't call this
early. I've been for long ride; in fact,
I've ridden over to Mr.. Carr's place,
with message from papa but he's not
there Do you know where he is, Mr..
MARTINI"
Haven't an idea,' said l.
He hasn't been home for four nights
she continued, land he hasn't been to the
ministry, either It's very odd that he
SHOULD disappear IKE THIS, just when all
the business is going on, too
What business, Donna Antonia?"
asked blandly.
She colored, recollecting, no doubt
that the business was still secret
"Oh, well, you know they're always
busy at the ministry of finance at this
time It's the time they pay everybody
isn't it?'
It's the time they ought to pay every
body" l said
WELL" she went on, without noticing
my correction, lat any rate papa and the
President are both very much vexed with
him; so 1 offered to make my ride in his
direction"
Where can he be?" asked again.
We'll" she replied, Il believe he's at
Colonel McGregor's, and after lunch
shall go over there. l know he dined
there on Monday, and 1 daresay he stayed
on
NO" thought 1, you mustn't do that,
it might be announcement" So l said
The Colonel says Carr told him he was
going off for couple of days sail in his
yacht"
ITS very bad of him to CO." she said,
''but no doubt that's it. Papa will be
angry. but he'll be glad to know no harm
has come to him"
Happy to have relieved your mind"
said l, and bade her farewell, wondering
whether Don Antonio would find no harm
had come to poor Johnny. 1 had my
doubts.

CHAPTER XIII

When i arrived at the bank I dispatch
ed brief answers to my budget of letters !;
each of the answers was to the same
purport, namely, that I should be at the
barracks at the appointed time. l need
not trouble the reader with the various
wrappings in which this essential piece of
intelligence was involved. l then had a
desperate encounter with Jones business
was slack, and Jones was fired with the
unholy desire of Selling the opportunity
thus offered to make an exhaustive in
quiry into the state of our reserve. He
could not understand my sudden punctil-
iousness as to times and seasons, and I
was afraid 1 should have to tell him
plainly that only over my lifeless body
should he succeed in investigating the
contents of the safe. At last l effected
a diversion by persuading him to give
Mrs Jones a jaunt into the country, and
thus left in peace, 1 spent my afternoon
in making final preparations. 1 burned
many letters l wrote touching farewell
to my father, in which 1 took occasion
to point out to him how greatly his i'm
prudent conduct had contributed to in
crease the difficulties of his dutiful son.
l was only restrained from making will
by the obvious imprudence of getting it
Witnessed 1 spent a feverish hour in
firing imaginary shots from my revolver,
to ascertain whether the instrument was
in working order. Finally l shut up the
bank at five, went to the Piazza, partook
OF a light repast, and never was I more
rejoiced than when the moment for ac-
