AVOID RISK IN BUYING PAINT.

You take good deal of risk If you
buy white lead without having abso-
lutte assurance as to its purity and
quality. You know white lead is often
adulterated, often misrepresented.
But there's no need at all to take
any chances. The Dutch Boy Paint
er" trade mark of the National Lead
Company, the largest makers of gen.
uine white lead, on a package of
White Lead, is a positive guarantee
OF purity and quality. It's as depend
able as the Dollar Sign. If you'll
write the National Lead Company.

they will send you simple and GER
tain outfit for testing white lead, and
valuable book on paint, free.

CHOLERA BAD IN
ST. PETERSBURG
RAPID SPREAD OF THE DEADLY
DISEASE CAUSES GREAT
ALARM.
DEAD LYING UNBURIED
SCHOOLS ARE CLOSED AND THE
SCHOOL BUILDINGS USED AS
HOSPITALS.

st. Petersburg st. Petersburg is In
the grasp of Asiatic cholera, which al
ready has exceeded in severity and
numbers the visitation Of 1898. The
disease is increasing daily at an alarm
ing rate and unless the authorities
show In the future a much greater de-
gree Of ability to cope with the sit
uation than they have in the past there
Is every reason to fear that 1t will get
out of hand. -~''.-.
The governments threat to apply the
provisions of martial law has driven
the municipality officials to bend all
their energies to clearing the city OF
the scourge. The aldermanic council
has voted $25O.O0O to enlarge the hos
pital space to purchase and distribute
disinfectants. the supply of which in st.
Petersburg is well nigh exhausted, and
to expedite the interment Of bodies,
which has been notoriously slow. The
dead houses are overcrowded and many
corpses lie unburied.
Under his authority the prefect of
st. Petersburf. Gen. Dracheffsky. Sat
urday prohibited the sale of liquor
throughout the city, including the gov
ernment vodka shops, until Sept. 22nd.
A beginning was made Sunday, when
hospital wards.
A number OF the grammar schools
were closed and 1000 students sent to
their homes.
AS announced by the official bull
letins, the cases numbered 349 and the
deaths 1913 during the twenty-four
hours between Friday noon and Satur-
day noon. This was considerable de-
crease from the preceding day. but
there is doubt OF the accuracy Of the
official statement. The record for the
same twenty.four hours ascertained
from unofficial. but reliable, sources
shows the actual number TO have beeh
far In excess Of that. Whether or not.
however. there was an actual decrease.
the disease resumed its march Satur-
day. the statistics posted showing that
from Saturday noon until Sunday noon
there were 39s cases and 191 deaths.
this being the largest number SO far.
It is feared that the cholera will last
another fortnight. being figured on
the basis Of former epidemics. All
varieties OF Asiatic cholera have now
developed here. there being numerous
cases of the Alsid type. which Is ac-
co.. Ipanied by the greatest suffering.

Denver.-The Republican Friday
morning says: "As view it, the
building of the Denver, Laramie &

slider it an honor worthy Of any ambi-

port that he had been appointed gen.

Mr.. Welbys appointment was genu-
Inc surprise to railway officials along
Seventeenth street, who consider him
one of the best railroad builders in the

A SUCCESSFUL TRIP City Mission Outing Yesterday Carried Over Three
 Hundred. WENT TO MANSFIELD'S Sewing School Has Big Time and Mir. Mossman's Party Was Voted
 Best Ever.

Among the many excursions MT, Mossman has charge Of during tho sum mer season, one of the largest and best Is the children's excursion of the City Mission Sowing school, and their home people and other friends. The outing for this year occurred yesterday and included also some of the King daughters and members of the Berkeley Mems club together with men, women and children whom MT Mossman had invited to go on the Mission Fresh Air fund. The expense for the sewing school boys and girls was met by part of the offering at the United church on Childrens day. With fifty loaves Of cake, fifteen gallons of ice cream wero taken, contributed by the N II. Dairy Co, Harris Hart Co, Semon Ice Cream Bishop furnished without expense frieght to and from the cars. Help was also given by Curtlss & Bradley, Sehoenberger & Sons, and the Elm City Manufacturing Co, as we'll as by the contributors to tho City Missions fresh air fund.
 Over 300 filled the three doube-truck cars that left the central green at 9.3) a. m. Starter Spa rks attended to the running of the cars, and both conduct ors and motormen, as well as Rev. MT Mossman evidently realized their re- sponslbility for the safeguarding oi children. As usual, however. all were safely loaded and also safely landed al Mansfield's grove on the east shore about half an hour later. where Mir and Mrs. C. R. Bartlett made them wei come to the free use of everything. in. cluding plenty of clean, cold ice water all the day long.
 The day was nearly as perfect ai could be, and was spent in the greht va. riety of ways that are always possible at Mansield's grove-boating, wadlng swimming, gathering shells, as well al the dinner at tables scattered al through the shade of the trees. Cak' and lee cream were served to the chil dren under direction of Mrs, L, $ Graves, the lady missionary. aided b, number of helpers, and to all th, rest by Mrs. r.. NJ. Myrlck, assisted b! other members of the Kings Daughters circle of the City Mission. Helpful al, Candee,. veiardi. Bailey and others.
 Ten athletic events were schedule' by Rev Charles c. smith. of the Gran, Avenue Baptist church. and run ol amid great enthusiasm and the distrib uting of prizes by Mrs, Graves fu whom the children gave a hearty cheer as well as for Rev Mir. Mossman an Rev. Mir. Smith. Mir Mossman took ou those who had given special help dur ing the day for sail upon the sound on the launch Echo, Captain Herber Baldwin, and without accident of an
 kind or anything to lessen the enjoy ment of the day. All reached New Ha ven again in good season for supper a home.
 Acknowledgment Is made to all wh
 have already sent funds for the Cit
 Mission fresh air work, with a reques
 from MT. Mossman for an early re
 sponse to. the need of some of th
 worthy poor people of New Haven. wh
 can only visit the short or the countr
