MEDALS COMING TO LOCAL SURVIVORS OF
 PHILIPPINE WAR
Recent Ruling of Secretary of Navy Brings Honor to
 Bridgeporters

About a score of medals for dis tinguished service in the Spanish War port veterans Of the Spanish-Anerican conflict as the result of recent deci- sion of the Secretary of the Navy.
 Three mem bers of the Spanish War Veterans association in this city are possessors of such medals. They are Rheinhold Perrson. 53s Union avenue. Henry Ross of Fairfield, and Robert Wright Higgins, superintendent of the Whiting Silver Co.
 Announcement of the recent ruling brought information that about 20 more Bridgeporters are qualified for the distinction of the medals.
 By a recent decision of the Secre- tary of the Navy all those who sNrved in the navy between April 21st 1898 and July 4th, 1902, when the Philippine Insurrection was officially proclaimed as at an end, and who were under fire at one time or another during that period, are entitled to medals Thou sands of Spanish War Veterans all over the country several of whom re- side in Bridgeport will be affected by this decision as the navy was active in bringing the inhabitants of the iso- lated Specks of land in the Philippine Archipelago to submission without the aid of the army at all.
 After the battle of Manila bay, Dewey came into possession of several small Spanish vessels of light draught which were refitted with rapid fire guns and sent along the wide
 
 coast to engage and subdue the Sav- age tribes who had remained uncon-- quered even under the Spanish regime. Landing parties were put ashore at many points and many hand-to-hand conflicts enSued in which many a brave blue jacket met his end After many thrilling experiences the islands of Panay, Samar and Hello were brought to submission and also other small settlements too numerous to re- count.
 The natives of these places had in some instances never been engaged in modern warfare and combatted Uncle Sam,s men with poisoned spears ar row heads of stone and wicked looking boIo knives. A wound from any of these was almost certain death so deadly was. the poison with which their wea pons were srneared. Some of the Spanish War Veterans of this city were engaged in these expeditions and have weird looking relics of these saw age tribes.
 RheinhoId Perrson well known car penter and builder has two boIo knives each over three feet long, taken by, him while on one these ex- petitions, from the bodies of a party of Iggorotos, savage, dog-ea ting i tribe of the Philippines which will be | shown, with other interesting eouve- nirs at the military whist and dance to be given Tuesday evening, Dec 17th | at Colonial Hall by Bishop Camp l United spanish War Veterans of which | MT. Perrson is an en- | member.

Cecil Rhodes pet project for a Cape-to- Cairo telegraph line seems to have been abandoned. In 1905 the line was extended to Ujji on Lake Tanganyika, but there it stopped and it has been given up because it's com pletion would cost at least $25O,0Oo more It is said that the line through the jungle has deteriOrated less than might be expected Natives do not modest it, and elephants only a oc- casionally rub down pole.

PHYSICIAN SAID ECZEMA
CAME FROM TEETHING

when my little girl was about eight
months old, she was taken with a very
irritating breaking out. which came on
her face, neck and back. When she
first came down with it. 1t came in
little watery-like testers under her
eyes, and on her chin, then after few
days 1t would dry down in scaly. white
scabs. In the daytime she was quite
worrysome and would dig and scratch
her face nearly all the time.
II consulted our physician and
found che was suffering from eczema,
which he said came from her teething.
/ used the ointment he gave me and
without any relief at all. Then I
wrote for book on Cuticura, and pur-
chased some Cuticura Soap and Oint-
ment at the drug store. l did as I
let, and when she was one year old,
she was entirely cured. Now she is
three years and four months, and she
has never been troubled with eczema
since she was cured by the Cuti-
cura Soap and Cuticura Ointment
