TOUR OF HER BODY.

Cincinnati, March 26.-After travelling
for four months through the body of
Mrs. Oakla Bay Jennings, piercing the
walls of the stomach and penetrating
the lungs, a glass headed steel pin ac-
cidentally swallowed by Mrs. Jennings,
again made its appearance in her mouth
and has been extracted.
Mrs. Jennings was walking along the
street one day about four months ago
when she swallowed the pin. Within a
few days her lungs became affected and
she was attacked with severe coughing
spells. Her condition grew worse and

she was seized with a',seVere choking
attack, threw up her hands and called
to her husband for assistance. The
woman put her hand to her mouth and
extracted the pin from the soft palate,
from which the end of it projected.
The pin had made a complete circle
in the woman's body. 1t had become
very rusty, and a hard substance had
accumulated in it,, making it almost
twice as large as it originally had been.
Mrs. Jennings experienced instant re-
lief upon its extraction. and is hope

MORE FARMS IN HAWAII.
A Large Amount of Land Is Subject
to Reclamation.

Washington, March 26.-Giving the re-
suits of observations made in a recent
visit to the Hawaiian islands, Director
Newell, OF the reclamation service,
speaks at length of the possibilities of
the reclamation of lands there suit
able for homestead purposes. He finds
that as a rule the sugar companies are
irrigating most of the cane lands, but
thinks that there are considerable
tracts of other lands not so well adapt
ed to sugar cane which Will have a
great value when water is brought to
them and they are intelligently cultiva-
ted
He thinks it probable that over 100000
acres of land now practically useless
may be reclaimed, and says that on this
basis it would be possible to furnish s.
600 farms of 20 acres each, which would
provide for population of about 10000
persons. He therefore recommends a
systematic examination of the water re-
sources of the islands and the prepara-
ton of contour map.

Brooklyn must pay Mrs. Clarie T.
Thomas $500 for injuries which she
sustained in the theater on Thanksg v
ing night when she was struck on lhe
head with a slide and frame from a
calcium light in the gallery. Her nus
band, who sued for the loss of his
wife's services, got a verdict of s., 800
The defense contended that the calcium
was being operated by the company
showing in the theater at the time and
that the manager was not responsible.
The court held, however. that a theat-
rical manager is liable for the safety of
his patrons even though the negligent
act be committed by a member of the
company playing there. This decision
was rendered on the theory that the
manager had advertised the production
and received part of the receipts.

faith in the supreme virtues of this
remedy that we sell it on our
guarantee of money back in every in
stance where it fails to give entire
satisfaction, and we urge all in need
of such medicine to try it at our risk. .
Rexau Orderlies are extremely

RexaIl Orderlies not only cure

FOR CHEAPER CANDY.
Want Tariff Duties Re-
duced.

Chicago, March -26.-The National
Confectioners association, and twenty
other confectionery manufacturers and
associations have fled a petition with
the Interstate commerce commission
asking for a reduction of the rates on
all kinds of confectionery. They ask
that the grades of candy rated as first
class be changed to third class and
the third class to fifth class. They
allege that the present classification
encourages the manufacture and sale
of cheap and inferior confectionery
and that it is discrimination against
the small dealer. All of the large
western roads are made defendants.
