"The Kind You Have Always Bought" BEARS THE SIGNATURE OF Insist on Having The Kind That Never Failed You. THC CENTAUR COMPANY. TT MURRAY STREET. MEW YORK CITY. BROWN Ei'ES THE BEST. Theory That Blue Eye Shoots the Best is Exploded. Philadelphia, July 26. The theory that a blue eye shoots best has been exploded. The champion marksman of the United States army has brown eyes. With these two brown eyes he shoots with both eyes' open he has beaten all shooting records at all distances, In all positions, and un der all circumstances. The champion marksman is now at Tampa, Fla., with the Sixteenth infantry. His one bronze medal and his six gold ones bear the name of Richard N. Davidson. These medals testify that he is the best shot In the wiif United States army. His com rades are proud o him and are willing to pit him against the world. Davidson en listed in lsS6. In 1890 he won a third class department bronze medal for marks manship. His comrades guyed him, say ing all his time would be occupied in bur nishing his medal, whereupon Davidson replied that he would win a medal that would not need burnishing. And he did. In 1891 he won the first gold medal In the team belonging to the department of the Platte. In 1892 he again carried off the first medal in the same department, with a score that has never been beaten or even equalled since. The famous score was 630 points out of a possible 800. Later, at Fort Sheridan, Chicago, he captured the first class gold medal for moving tar get practice, the object being at a dis tance of S00 yards and moving as fast as a man moves In ordinary walking, three miles an hour. In 1S93 he was awarded the first 'distinguished marks man" gold trophy, the Buffalo medal. This is the greatest honor possible to marksmen in the army. His score was 621 points out of a possible 800. These prizes were all won with a Springfield rifle. There has been no contest since the new Krag-Jorgensen rifle was intro duced in ISM. However, Davidson is willing to try the new rifle in a contest with any marksman in the United States. This crack sharpshooter Is also famous as the most rapid marksman in the army. In what is known as a half-saw back po sition in a skirmish he has fired an aver age of twelve shots in thirty seconds, while others could discharge only seven in the same time. While making these rapid ehots he holds his gun in a peculiar posi tion, which has caused him to be known throughout the army as "Gun SlingDick." A remarkable fact in connection with this "wizard of the rifle," by the way, is that he has weak eyes. WAR ON FEMALE GAMBLERS Kansas City Married Women Barred From Playing Races. Kansas City, July 26. A number of well known married women "who are in the habit of playing the races at the pool room on Central avenue were considerably eurprised when they were notified by a policeman that they must keep away from the place on the penalty of being arrested If they disobeyed. The officer's action was the result of complaints by the hus bands of the women to the police. Ever since the pool room opened under the protection of a $3,000 a year city li cense, half a dozen women have been among its most persistent customers. The woman congregate In the yard in the rear of the home of a man named Weaver. They pay Weaver 50 cents a day for the privilege. Their bets are made through eome of the many "touts" who are hangers-on of the pool room. All went well until -a few days ago when "I! N vujsa, at Manila everywhere II our Army and Navy wear Goodyear Welt Shoes ' because they are better than Hand Sewed shoes. 300,000 pairs have been made for themi Whether heaviest cavalry boot, or C3 O t daintiest dress shoe for Goodyear Welts. 1, WS33GSaC9eS33SS&9C9S3eSe930C9CS&8088Ge9Sie the husband of one of the women, a well known railroad man, became suspicious because of the regularity with -which his better half absented herself from home of afternoons. He made an investigation, and finally charged his wife with gam bling. She confessed, but declined to give up the races. Another husband made a similar discovery and complained to the police. He did not want his wife arrest ed, he said, but did want her to keep away from the pool room. The names of the women are in the hands of the police, and it is probable that, should they persist In playing the races, they will be arrested on some charge and taught a severe lesson. As yet all of the husbands of the women are not aware of the sporting proclivities of their spouses. One of the women said last night that if her husband knew she fre quented the pool rooms there would be a long-to-be-remembered scene in their dom icile. The women are thoroughly fright ened, and it is thought they will, for the present, at least, give the gamblers a wide berth. QUARREL OVER MONEY. Forto Kican Junta in New York May Be Disrupted. New Tork.July 26. New York's self-constituted Porto Rican junta, at the head of which is Dr. Julio Henna, also presi dent of the Porto Rican republic, which has never existed except in the hopes of those Porto Ricans in New York who com pose the junta, is just now passing throug a troublous period. Neither the leader. Dr. Henna, nor the secretary, Rob erto Todd, was recognized in any way in the appointment of the Porto Rican expe dition to accompany General Miles. Dr. Henna's projects for bringing about the recognition of Porto Rican independ ence have fallen through and there is a prospect that General Tomas Estrada Palma of the Cuban junta will immediate ly begin inquiries as to the disposition of a large sum of money which it is said was given by the Cuban Junta to the Porto Ricans for a specific purpose. Yesterday after General ralraa returned from Tampa he was visited at the Raleigh hotel by General Lluveras, the actual rep resentative of the revolutionary party in Porto Rico. Almost before the greetings were over General Palma demanded ex citedly to know what had become of the money. "Where are bonds and gold which your junta received from ours and from Paris?" he asked. "We gave it to you to help us at the beginning of the revolution and to start a similar revolution in Porto Rico. You have done nothing of the sort and it should be returned." "You have given us nothing," General Lluveras answered. "You gave that fund to Dr. Henna and Mr. Todd, whom I do not recognize as Porto Rican representa tives. The few Porto Ricans who reside in the United States and who selected these gentlemen as their leaders do not represent the island. We have never asked aid from the Cuban junta, but from the United States. That we have obtained, and Porto Rico will soon be United States territory." General Lluveras further suggested that General Palma obtain from Dr. Henna and Mr. Todd some account of the dispo sition of the funds given them by the Cuban junta, assuring him that none of the money had been spent for Porto Rico.

Largest Bakery in the World Operated at Camp Thomas. Camp Thomas, July 26. One of the points of interest at Camp Thomas is the big government bakery which fur nishes fresh bread for General Brooke's army. This enormous institution has been in operation for the last few days, and no longer does the trooper protest against eating "aardtack." It is no doubt the largest bakery in the world devoted exclusively to bread making. An enormous amount of flour is consumed in a day, and. of course, the output is great. At present the out put is over 50,000 loaves of bread every twenty-four hours. A force of 150 men is employed, working night and. day. One force of men goes on duty at noon and works until midnight, when they are relieved by the second shift. An amount of the work is accom plished by machinery, but the major portion is done by hand. The dough is mixed in large troughs, after which it is thrown into a large box machine and well "worked." Each of these machines will hold six barrels of flour at a time. After the dough is worked into the proper shape it is sent along to a force of men, who cut and work it into loaves nineteen ounces in weight. Each loaf must be weighed on the scale be fore going to the ovens. After baked it must weigh at least eighteen ounces. It is interesting to watch the bakers make up the loaves. This is accom plished with the use of a knife, which the men handle with lightning-like rapidity. After the dough is made into a roll representing a loaf one dozen are placed in a "bake pan" and carried by a strong boy to the ovens. If the oven is in proper working order a pan of bread can be baked in thirty min utes. This operation continues from morning; until night, and from night un til morning. After the bread is baked it is carried from the oven and laid upon a long warehouse floor, where it cools. Later the bread is stacked up in huge piles and issued to the various regimental commissary officers. Since the bakery has been in opera tion every man at Camp Thomas has received a loaf of fresh bread every day. The bread is of a fine quality and wholesome. The flour is furnished by a local mill, which has a jontract to fur nish 200 barrels a day. BOOM IN FURNITURE. Grand Rapids Manufacturers in Need of More Workmen. Grand Rapids, Mich., July 26 For the first time in five years the furniture manufacturers are finding it necessary to advertise for more men. Tins is due to the favorable opening of the new furniture season and the encouraging prospect for fall business. Up to date the number of buyers who have visited the market for the open ing exceed 500, and this far surpasses all previous records. It is sixty-seven more than came during the entire month of July a year ago, and the buy ers are still coming. The season will begin tapering off next week, but will not entirely close until the middle of August, and late comers looking for holiday novelties will be dropping in all through September. The buyers have been placing orders with more freedom than since 1S92, and they are taking the better grades of goods. During the business depression cheap and medium priced furniture was almost all that was asked for, but the cheaper grades are neglected this sea son. The western markets especially are buying freely. CHICAGO TO THE FORE. Plans For an Apartment Hotel Now Being Drawn. Chicago, July 26. Plans for a big apartment hotel are now being drawn. The building will be located at the in tersection of North State and Rush streets with Bellevue place. It will be 300 feet front on North State street and 270 feet on Rush. It is the owner's in tention that the building shall be of the very highest grade of finish, so that it shall fully equal the Majestic apart ment building, or others of the best class in New York. It is to be absolutely fireproof, and will be finished outside with Georgia marble and terra cotta. The interior will be finished in marble, mosaic, tiles and hard woods. The building is to be thoroughly equippeu witn all modern improvements and will have a hand some cafe, ball room and private dining rooms also a gymnasium in the base ment with a marble swimming tank for ladies and one tor gentlemen. The pow er plant is to be located outside of premises to avoid noise, heat, odor and jarring. PRINCE VICTOR IS GAY. Helps Mrs. Potter Palmer In Fighting Her Social Battles. New York. July 26. It was expected that Prince Victor would attend the din ner given by Chauncey M. Depew at New port, but he was too tired with his previ ous efforts and dined at home. Mr. De pew himself arrived in town so late, owing to a delay on the train, that he was scarcely in time for the dinner. There has been an effort to freeze out Mrs. Potter Palmer on the prince's visit, as some of those in society are jealous of her success with the Belgian prince. The effort has been a failure, for the prince has set the anti-Palmer cohorts by the heels by dancing twice one night with Miss Grant. This is to be still further aggra vated by a dinner and dance Mrs. Palmer will give in honor of the prince. Among those who will attend are Mrs. William Astor and the Baroness Selliere. WAIFS' MISSION CLOSED. Levi Loiter Will No Longer Put XTp $1 000 Per Month. Chicago, July 26. L. Z. Leiter has withdrawn his support from the Chi cago Waifs Mission and Training school. The 21 inmates have been sent to Glenwood. For four years Leiter has been the backer of the institution, which has flourished for 12 years. Each month he came to the front with $1,000. The mis sion was founded by T. E. Daniels, who acted as superintendent for 10 years, but left the institution much in debt. Just how much of this indebtedness has been paid is not announced. R. C. Welch is the present superin tendent. Formerly 100 waifs a day were cared for at the mission and were given pay for any services they performed. The daily attendance has fallen off SO per cent. Give the Children a Drink Called Grain-O. It is a delicious, appe tizing.nourishing food drink to take the place of coffee. Sold by all grocers and liked by all who have used it because when properly prepared it tastes like the finest coffee but is free from all its injurious properties. Grain-O aids di gestion and strengthens the nerves. It is not a stimulant but a health builder, and children, as well as adults, can drink it with great benefit. Costs about V. as much as coffee, la and 25c TOPEKA'S NEW TRACK. Years of Persistent Effort by Wheel men Crowned With Success. For nearly four years thg wheelmen of this city have been putting forth their best efforts to build a cycle track. Success has at last crowned their untiring energy and soon there will be opened for their use a track that promises to be one of the fastest in the west. Situated in the only summer resort Topeka has, with good car service, the future of the new ! track is assured. Topeka riders, possessing as they do the necessary abilities to become good, fast riders, have been sorely handicapped by not having the proper place to train. The consequence is that our colors have been many times lost behind the flag. The new track has the following di mensions: Length, 609 feet; width of stretch and turns, 40 feet; width of back stretch, 25 feet; banks on each turn, 8 feet. The track is nearly com pleted and will be opened for the riders in a few days. The first meet will be held some time in August and will be at niht. The following riders will represent To peka: C. C. Claudy, Web Stevenson, Frank Spetter, Peter Wall, A. A. Fauss, Walt Davis. Earl Starbird, Will Marlett, N. H. Jury, Roy Armstrong, Bert Ran dolph. Friday evening, July 29, Marshall's band will give a benefit concert for the Topeka wheelmen, the proceeds to be used by them on grand stand and training quar ters. Two sets of tickets will be used the regular concert ticket on sale at the gate, and a special ticket on sale at all the cycle stores. The wheelmen realize only on the sale of their tickets. SPAIN WILL DRIFT. Time For Peace Overtures Not Yet Ripe. London, July 26. The Madrid corre spondent of the Standard says: There is still an endeavor to keep alive the im pression that something is going on behind the scenes in the direction of peace, but the prevalent idea is that the war will continue until the fall of Ma nila and the invasion of Porto Rico. Peace is impossible. There is more unanimity in Spain with regard to the necessary sacrifices of territory. The ministers, having arrived at an under standing will await the march of events. A cabinet crisis has been averted for the time being. Those who succeed the present cab inet will certainly be obliged ere long to ask the country to submit to terms pro foundyl repugnant to the national pride. The Daily Chronicle claims to know positively that no peace negotiations of any sort have occurred between the Spanish and the United States govern ments. The Daily Chronicle says: "Spain had made no approach, and apparently does not mean to yet. It is understood that the Spanish govern ment is still hopeful to organize a Euro pean concert against the United States." A special dispatch from Rome says the pope has communicated to the pow ers peace proposals that he considers acceptable to both Spain and the United States, namely the American annexa tion of Cuba and Porto Rico.the restora tion of the Philippines to Spain and a commercial treaty giving Spain excep tional advantages in the colonies sur rendered. Madrid, July 26. It is announced that complete tranquillity prevails through out Spain. The Cuban colonial government, it is announced, will confer with the repre sentatives of Maximo Gomez and it is believed that the conference may result in the insurgents espousing the Spanish cause. THEY CAN'T COME IN. No Outsiders Can Bear Arms in Mas sachusetts. Ottawa, Ont., July 23. The state govern ment of Massachusetts has informed the Highland cadets of Montreal that they cannot attend the Scottish gathering at Boston on the 15th of September next car rying arms because of an old statute of the commonwealth of Massachusetts which forbids the carrying of arms by any except the state militia, the United States troops and the Ancient and Honor able Artillery company of Boston. But for this the state would be glad of their presence. HENLEY FOR SPEAKER. Lawrence Republican Aspires to Lead House of Representatives. Lawrence, Kan., July 26. Represen tative A.

Fred Bugbee, of Wilder, Kan., is a member of Roosevelt's "Rough Rid ers" and participated in the first day's battle at Santiago de Cuba July 1. He was one of the wounded. In a letter to his parents last week he says he re ceived a slight scalp wound by being struck by a Mauser bullet, and is con fined in the Siboney hospital. Bugbee was in the first fight with the "Rough Riders" when they were tackled by the Spaniards from ambush. He had several close calls in that fight, his clothes being cut and torn by bullets in three places, but he escaped injury un til the firsht day's fighting in the siege of Santiago. In his first letter home he said the Spaniards were poor marks men, but when he was struck by a Spanish bullet he changed his mind, and in his last letter he says their fire was terrific and deadly. j PASSENGER MEN MEET. Santa Fe Will Adopt Uniform Ticket For All Lines. An important meeting of the heads of the passenger departments of the Santa Fe system roads is being held at the Montezuma hotel at Las Vegas, New Mexico, today. The men in at tendance are: George T. Nicholson, passenger traffic manager of the Santa Fe system; W. J. Black, general pas senger agent of the Santa Fe; J. J. Byrne, general passenger agent of the Santa Fe-Pacific and Southern Cali fornia roads, and W. S. Keenan, gener al passenger agent of the Gulf, Colo rado & Santa Fe. The purpose of the meeting is to adopt in as far as possible a uniform series of tickets to be used on all the lines of the Santa Fe system. At pres ent different forms of tickets are being used by each of the different lines, and this has been the custom since the for mation of the system. A uniform sys tem would make the handling of tick ets over the entire system much easier, and would be an economical move, saving time, labor and expense in printing. Uniform tickets willbe decided on at the meeting, and will probably go into use within the next 60 days. This is a move along the line of Pres ident Ripley's idea of uniformity in all branches of railroad work over the sys tem. MONDAY'S SPECTACLE. The Battle of Manila is to Be a Grand Siarht.

C, states that the Canadian Pacific rail way company's steamships Tartar and Athenian are anchored In Vancouver harbor, having been taken off the Klon dike route. Their stores are being re moved and they are to become United States transports.

The lips may laugh when the body itself is crying out in an guish. When a wo man laughs it does not always mean that she is happy. It is a woman's province to please, and she will bravely en deavor to do this under the most harrowing cir cumstances. Thou sands of women who are considered happy, and charm ing, and entertain ing, secretly endure suffering that would drive the av erage man to a mad- 'ycfi house. In almost sufferings are due to disorders of the distinctly feminine or ganism. They rob a woman of her health, her beauty, her amiability, her usefulness as a housekeeper, her capability as a moth er, and her charm and power in the social and religious world. There is a safe, sure, speedy and perma nent remedy for these troubles. It is Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription. It acts di rectly on the delicate and important femi nine organs that bear the brunt of matern ity. It endows them with health, strength, vigor and elasticity.

Shows an Increase of $2,000,000 in Nine Months. Chicago, July 26. The appreciation In the value of Pullman Palace car stock, so marked in recent months as the re sult of good business, and perhaps in some measure because of the prospect of Wagner consolidation, has a peculiar interest as bearing on the Pullman estate and-its settlement. In the nine months that have elapsed since the death of Mr. Pullman shares have advanced in value from 160 to 210 It will be recalled that Mr. Pullman in his will left to his heirs 40,000 shares of this stock. At 160 this stock would be worth, of course, $6,400,000, and at 210 it would have advanced to 58,400,uuu. This it has done, and the amount of nnnreciation in value is S.000,000. Mrs Pullman, having chosen to accept her dower rights, receives one-third of this as well as of the other property in the estate. It is seen that the increase in her share of this one item is $666,666.66. "VESSELS DELAYED. 1 Bangor, Me., Harbor Mines Receive Severe Criticism. Bangor, Me.. July 26. Fear of Span ish ships led the board of trade to get the war department to fill the narrows at Bucksport with mines. When the engineers got the mines all laid they issued a set of regulations which con stituted a practical blockade of this port. Immediately went up a howl of indignation from the shipping people. Finally, after much telegraphing and writing, it was promised by the war department that a channel 200 feet wide should be opened through the mine field for steamers, and the storm subsided, while the shipping people recommended that the board of trade disband or confine itself to such harm less functions as its annual dinner. The mines have not yet been removed, but soon will be, and meanwhile a big fleet of vessels- is waiting for a chance to get to sea. REVERENCE FOR TITLES.
