SKIN DISEASES
THEIR CAUSE AND EFFECT

We not infrequently hear persons afflicted with chronic Eczema, Psoria- sis,, Salt Rheum, Ulcers, etc, say they have expended from S10O.OO to S3OO.OO in doctors bills and remedies, and in variably the treatment has been ex- ternal-an ointment or a lotion. No consideration or attention was paid to the blood-the source from which the skin derives nourishment. In answer to the question. Did you derive any benefit from such treatment?' "Oh, yes, it cured the disease for a month or two and then it broke out worse than ever" The reason of this should be readily understood by any intelli- gent person, and is the difference be- tween cause and effect. Had the dis ease been attacked in the blood, which is the cause of these skin and blood diseases. these sufferers would have had different story to tell. pr. Tay- lor's Remedy eliminates the poison from the blood-removes the cause and the effect of this poison readily disappears from the surface of the skin. Guaranteed to cure.

ductors of freight trains will drop me a piece of ice as they go by, and all the working class wish me the best of luck. As an instance of their kindness. Thursday night my Tat blew off in the dark and it was useless to try to re- cover it. The, next morning the en- gineer on helping engine saw it at the bottom of a ravine, and when he returned as an extra alone, he got off and sent it to me ere noon on another freight train.
 I never felt better in my life. and think the coming week will show that my estimate is correct. I leave here at 12:o5 tonight. and am in hopes that the heat will suhside, SO I can put ill a long day. If not. shall retire at noon and sleep until P. M, and then resume the road again, hoping to keep it until noon of Tuesday.
 The only objection I have to night work is that I can hardly exceed three miles per hour. As I have already lost in the aggregate nearly fourteen days since leaving Chicago, I shall rnake>the hest time possible in reaching San Francisco on July g at o'clock.

The Hen Birds Duty.

In his subsection on "modifcationsx of types of birds and animals Sir John Lubbock tells us of a particular crow in New Zealand where the male and female differ widely as to the structure of their bills. The male bird has a bill, stout and strong. adapted to cuts ting and digging into tree, but he is deficient in that horny pointed tongue. which would permit him to pierce the grub and draw it out. The hen bird has. however, an elongated and straight bill, and when the cock has dug down to the burrow- the hen inserts her long bill and draws out the grub, which they divide between them, very pret- ty illustration of the wife as help mate to the husband"

REVIEW OF SPORTS
Lave Cross Coming Back East Sore and
 Purse Poor.
He Gets Only S37O For His Defeat at
 Hands of Dick HyIand.
OTHER NEWSY NOTES

Dick Hyland's victory over Leach Cross in the forty-first round at Colma, California, last Saturday stunned the East Side sporting element in N. Y., as Cross was regarded as sure win ner and much money was wagered on his chances through agents in Cali fornia- Cross. considering the fact that he never took part in bout of more than ten rounds before, made a game Sh owing, but he proved that he is more of a boxer than a fighter. Hyland. a rugged young fellow who has been figuring in long drawn out battles in recent years, evidently fought, accord ing to well laid plans. With forty-five rounds to- go he saved his strength and gradually wore the Bowery dentist down.
 It was the opinion here yesterday that Cross probably weakened himself in order to scale at 133 pounds five hours before ringtime- He found it a difficult task in recent local bouts to make 135 pounds, same weighing time, and was always regarded as a we1ter- weight. But that Cross never was first class pugilist and in tackling Fly land who stood Nelson off for twenty three rounds, he took desperate chances it is believed. If Cross had beaten Hyland there would have been a high old time along the F,owery- on Saturday night, many Hebrew or ganizations had made preparations to celebrate. As it was there was the thickest kind of ::loon cn the East Side when the result of the long mill was flashed over the fickers.
 Cross and his brother, Sam Wallach. will leave for New York next Wednes- day. Cross is sour on Califcrh1ia- He was knoclxedzsout and he drew down just S370 as his share for forty-one rounds of fighting. Consequently Cross, who is accustomed to six round fights. in which he has made from $1,500 to g. 900. was disappointed
 The heavy fog and the easy fashion in which young Erne was beaten on the night previous killed the attend ance Saturday. There was just $1 800 in the housed and as the men fought for 50 per cent. of the receipts, divided 60 and 40, the winner got only $550.
 Ketchel. according to the latest re- ports from the Coast, will be a to favorite when he gets into the ring at Colma next Monday afternoon to fight Bill Papke for the middleweight cham, pionship of the world. Promoter Golf roth is preparing for an immense crowd <,.>

 Carlin. New. Ine .27-The conditions last night were not as propitious as I had hoped for long walk, so I was forced to abandon my hope of reaching Beowawe.
 Not only was the heat intense until after o'clock, but the mosquitoes were particularly vicious: even a f1fty-mile gale and a cloudy sky did not inter- fere with their activities.
 The footing, on account of the re- placing of new ties along this stretch of railroad, made the walking exceed ingly difficult and at times dangerous. I was unable to walk more than three miles per hour. and, after a struggle lastirg four hours, decided to quit here, which made my grand total twenty-six miles less than was quoted yesterday. However. as my friends may have observed, my condition is so much improved that I was enabled to heat. than has been the case for a month past, and I think that the com ing week will convince the skeptics that I am far from being all in.
 For all this improvement in my sur roundings I am deeply indebted to J. Krutchnit Director General of the Southern Pacific Company; J. M. Da- wis, General Superintendent; James Horsburg, Jr., General Passenger the company I come in contact with helps me in some way.

In New Britain today
 at Newfield tomorrow There is no telling what kind of a game these boys will put up. Manager O'Rourke has received word from Honest John O'Leary, the former Hartford backstop, that he will report immediately. He was in Buffalo yes- terday being on his way here. He will be played either on first or in right field. Manager Jim says he is too valuable a man to be holding down the bench.
 It's the outlaws for good for Billy Luyster. He was given until Satur- day to report but has not yet shown up. Duyster has been after Jim for the past two years looking for a rein statement through Manager Clarkin, and when the local manager interceded for him he threw him down. Luyster kept on sending telegrams that he would report in few days. Manager Jim relying entirely upon his honor. For this reason the names of new players are being withheld until they appear in an Orator uniform. It can be seen though that Jim is out to strengthen his outfit.
 Now that O'Leary will wear an Ora tor uniform and Kocher will do the regular catching. Manager O'Rourke is undecided what to do with McAloor who did the catching while Kocher was laid up, with the split palm. Mac is not one of the biggest players that ever broke into, the game, but he was a. worker every minute. He might have fallen down a few plays, but made up for it afterward. In batting he did his part, his hitting being quite timely. It is probable that Manager ORourke will place him with some club to be recalled when he is need

ALMOST MAGIC CURE
 BY CUTICURA REMEDIES

"Our son, two years old, was very much afflicted with a breaking out or what looked to be summer rash. I applied the usual remedies, such as washing with soda water and powdering with boric acid. Finally, after he suf- fered with the trouble several weeks I took him to the doctor. He said it was merely rash that was quite prevalent, and that I was giving the right treat and the baby would soon be all right
 But instead of getting better it was get ting worse The rash ran together and made large blisters. The little fellow didn't want to do anything but scratch and we had to wrap his hands up to keep him from it as he would tear the flesh open till the blood would run. The itching was intense, causing loss of appe- tite and flesh. When it seemed to hurt him most the skin on his back became hard and rough like the bark of a tree so that rubbing or brushing Would not break it. He was so feverish that thought it bad case of eczema. He could not wear any clothes but little niGhtgown with the sleeves just fastened at the top of the shoulder. He suffered I found a remedy in Cuticura Soap for bathing and Cuticura Ointment with which anointed the sore places. This kept the rash from spreading and in less than week the result was almost magi- cal. That was more than two years ago and there has not been the slightest symptom of 1t since he was cured. am never very long without Cuticura Soap as my family knows the value of it and don't like a substitute.

 as even dangerous. but he may be dis agreeably surprised. the Italian

 recent ten round mill here with Kauf- man it is the opinion that Johnson will have to extend himself to prevent
 possible calamity.
 In explaining why he declared off the fight with Kaufman Johnson says that if the Californian had been really anx- ious to mill it he would have jumped
 at a chance to meet the champion in a twenty round bout. ''Ketchel did not hesitate to make a match with me for
 twenty rounds" says Johnson, "so Kaufman haggled over forty-five rounds until he made me sick. Hes no fighter at all and is not entitled to get ln ahead of KetchePs affair with me- When asked if he would fight Sam Langford Johnson said yesterday that after he gets through with ketchel he will make a match with Longford or any man in the world. Langford laughed in derision when he heard this statement and said that Johnson could not be dragged into the ring with him by block and tackle.
 Within the next few days Manager Sta1lings of the High1anders will get busy with the pruning knife. It is understood that at least half dozen bench warmers will be released or traded. Wild Jack Chesbro. Joe Doyle, Wilson and Mcconnell. all pitchers. be among them?
