The -eatcst danger to life in the city
is not the car with its clanging gong, but
thoe silent invisible foes, the germs of
disease. The prevalence of consumption
in cities is stated to te largely due to the
frequent expectoration of diseased per
sons, whose
dried sputa
mixed with the
") dust and blown
r .' 1 1 into the air, is
5 inhaled by some
luckless man or
woman. Sanita
tion may mini
mize these perils
but can never
obliterate them.
The essential
thing i3 to edu-
1 cate every per-
son to the
knowledge that
tiie germ can find no permanent lodg
ment in a healthy body. Keep the blood
pure, the stomach and other organs of
ciijies'.ion and nutrition in sound health
and von are practically germ proof.
This disease resisting condition is ob
tained by the tise of Dr. Pierce's Golden
Medical Discovery. It purifies the blood,
strengthens the stomach, nourishes the
nerves, aad heals the lungs. Even when
there is obstinate cough, bronchitis,
spitting of blood and other conditions,
which, if neglected, lead to consump
tion, the faithful use of Golden Medical
Th-covery will, in almost every instance,
effect a cure.

That bottom prices for wool have been
reached at last is evidenced by the
crowing unwillingness of holders to
make concessions, the frreater activity of
dealers and indications that purchases
for speculation are of considerable vol
ume. Transactions thaw a material
train at the leading markets, while ship
ments from Koston exceed those of pre
ceding weeks. Kftorts to secure even
fractional advances in quotations, how

KELICS FROM EGYPT.
Boston Society Receives Rare Spec!
mens For Preservation.
Boston, March 29. Rev. Dr. Wm. C.
Winslow, vice president of the Egyptian
exploration fund, stated that in addi
tion to the papyri from Oaxyrhychus
presented to several universities is a val
uable lot of 43 papyri from several sites
in the Fayum, which have been received
for distribution.
A papyrus for Yale of the twenty
second book of the Iliad of the first cen
tury preserves the notable combat be
tween Achilles and Hector. Harvard
srets two pieces of the Odyssey of the
first century. The University of Penn
sylvania has a fragment of the Odyssey
of the first century.
Araons seven papyri for Columbia is
a tax collector's return, showing items
and how the collectors made returns In
A. D. 1SS. In the papyrus for Hamilton
coilepe is the receipt for a voter named
Philoxenus.
One of the two papyri for Vassar col
leKe is the official notice of the birth of
a son from Ischyias and hi3 wife Thai
sarion. A. D. 150.
Of six papyri for Princeton one is a le
turn of house property, A. D. 131, from
Sambous to Dius and Herodes, keepers
of the registry of property.
The rise of the Nile waa the Rreat
annual event, and upon it taxes were
calculated. Hence one of the six papyri
sent to Johns Hopkins, treating of 1he
unwatered land tilled by Ptollarous, A.
D. 163. is peculiarly interesting-. She de
clares that her field at Euhemeria did
not set the water. Her plea, in si word,
is "no crops, no taxes."
FOUND IVOItY LIONS.
Important Discoveries Made by Prof.
Petrie In Egypt
Boston, March 29. Rev. Dr. William
C. Winslow, vice president of the Egypt
exploration fund, has just received offi
cial word that Prof. Petrie has un
earthed at Abydos the records of kings
before Mena, the founder of the first
dvnasty, nearly 4,M0 years before
Christ.
"We have found," writes Prof. Petrie,
"the names of Narma Ka and a king
named by a fish sign, perhaps also of
two kings. Deb and Sam of Mena. and
those earliest kings. There are about 30
inscriptions and a heavy Rtrip of gold
with the name Aha (Mena). In tne
tomb of Khazkhoumi were found stone
vases, each with a gold cap tied on with
frold wire. Also two broad bangles of
gold and a dinner service of a dozen
pans and dishes, with 160 models of tools
in sheet copper. The freaaent use of
ivory then is witnessed by the discovery
of 40 inscribed ivories and stones and
two lions cut in ivory."

LEAVING PORTO KICO.
land Za Being: Depopulated of Its
Bert Laborers.
San Juan, P. R., March 29. The
agents of the company engaged in con
structing the railroad from Ouayaquil
to Quito, Ecuador, are in Porto Rico re
cruiting for laborers. This, in connec
tion with the departure yesterday of
S(9 emigrants for Hawaii and 400 more
for Cuba, to work in the iron mines, is
drainintr Porto Rico of its best laborers.
The entire press of the island is object
ing to this emigration. Planters cannot
cultivate their lands owing to the lack
of i?ioney, and consequently there is no
work to be had here. The authorities
are taking no steps to prevent this emi
gration. There are 3 cases of smallpox at
Ponce. A slight increase of the disease
in the rest ot thtt island is reported.
BORROWS MONEY ON LEGS.
Omaha Woman Gats $25 From a
Pawnbroker on Artificial Limbs.
Omaha, Neb., March 29. Miss Jessie
Robinson appiied at Sam Adler's pawn,
shop today for a loan on her cork leg-s.
The pawnbroker was startled by the
question: "Wili you loan me S:'o on my
legs?" from a well dressed young woman
as sue entered tne shop.
The pawnbroker asked gravely:
'Madam, have vou vour legs with you?
She assured him that she was standing
on tnem at tne moment.
"They are cork, you know," she ex
plained anologetieallv.
At Adler's request the woman, timidly
and witn ner ia.ee sunuseu witn Diusnes,
lifted her skirts three or four inches, dis.
playing a wrell-rounded cork ankle. She
explained that her artificial legs extended
above her knees. Adler insisted that h
must see the whole of tho iimbs befor
loaning money on them.
"Very well." she said in desperation,
"I'll take them off right here."
"For heaven's sake, don't do that! Go
home and 111 call for them, replied Ad
ler. The voung woman left. Half an horn
later Adler received a telephone message
mat tne legs were waiting ior nim, ana
he immediately' called for them and loan
ed $25 for them. As he placed the limb
oy nis sloe m tne Duggy tne woman
called to him: "
"I am expecting some money in a week
or two, and then I'll send around and get
my legs."
The woman's natural legs were cut oft
in a railroad wreck at ureenwooa, iseo.
REVEALS AWFUL CRIME.
Find of Workmen Points to WifeMur-
der Committed in 1831.
Pcultney, Vt., March 29. Workmen In
removing a cellar wall today discovered
a r.'dden pit, seven feet square, In tne
cenrer of which was a stout iron post.
Fastened to the post waa a heavy iron
chain, on the end of which was an old
fashioned pair of handcuffs. Near by
was found a heap of human bones. The
discovery is supposed to solve the mys
tery of a crime committed TO years ago
Perry Borden, a day laborer, became
verr jealous of his pretty young wHe
and in November, 1831, she mysteriously
disappeared. Borden said she had rurv
away to Canada. No effort was ever
made to find her. Borden himself left a
couple of years later aiid followed the
sea for oO years. He returned here m
188-1 and for a couple of years was a
town charge. He finally died and was
buried here. He was never known, to
mention his wife's name after her disap-
pea: ance.
HAPPY MRS. FUNSTOfl.
Many People Call at the llouie
of the General.
Manila, March 29. "When Aguinaldo
was captured he wore a plain dark blue
suit, with the coat closely buttoned at
the throat, and a wide white helmet,
with a leather band. He takes his cap
ture philosophically. He is generally
cheerful, but some times -moody. His
health during the past year has been
very good. It is uncertain what attitude
he will now assume.
Certain visitors are permitted to see
Aguinaldo but newspaper interviews
with the prisoner are not allowed.
Since Aguinaldo has been domiciled
at the Malacanan palace persons not
provided with special permtis have been
denied admission to the grounds.
General Trias, the commander of the
insurgent forces in southern Luzon, who
recently surrendered to the American
authorities, visited Aguinaldo and told
the latter why he surrendered. Triaa
said that a continuance of armed oppo
sition to the United States waa unjus
tifiable and ruinous; that the independ
ence of the Philippines waa impossible,
and that the Filipinos would better ac
cept liberty, prosperity and progress
under American rule.
The capture of Aguinaldo, following
the surrender of General Trias, will
probably occasion the surrender of the
insurgent leader Malavar, in Batangas
province, Luzon; Bella rmino, in Albay
province, Luzon, and Lucban, in the
island of Samar, within a month. Many
people visited the residence of General
and Mrs. Funston, on the Calle Real, in
the suburbs of Krmita,
The general modestly declined to talk.
Mrs Funston was evidently the happiest
woman in the Philippine islands.
3en. Funston has been recommended
for the highest practicable reward. It
is believed here that he will receive en
appointment as brigadier general in the
regular army.
PAPER FOR 219 YEARS.
James H. Moore and Brother Break
Subscription Record.
Binghamton, N. T., March 29. "Please
send us your paper from the present
time until Dec. 31 of the year 2120, draw
on us at once for total bill and forward
receipt." Such was the purport of a let
ter recently written to tne publisher of
the Greene American, a local newspaper.
by James H. Moore and his brother.
William- H. Moore, the noted trustmak-
ers. Some time ago the Moores decided
that they could do much good by intro
ducing a novel philanthropy, and the
record-breaking newspaper subscription
is the result. Today they received a re
ceipt, the price for 219 years being near
ly J1.400.
SOCIETY MEN USE FISTS.
Request For a Loan Ends in a Sensa
tion in Louisville.
Louisville. Ky.. March 9. With their
bare fists in straight Marquis of Queens
berry style JDr. Leslie Myer and Lowell
Clark, both prominent young men in
Louisville society, settled a point of
honor early this morning. Myer won in
the second round with a right on the
jaw. The trouble started in Memphis,
Tenn., several weeks ago. Dr. Myer,
who is an ex-volunteer soldier, was then
visiting a last year's debutante. His
funds ran low. and meeting Clark asked
for a loan. Clark told the young wo
man. The physician's money came from
Louisville that day. He,and Clark met
yesterday and the fight was arranged.

Paving Turned Down.
The council committee on streets and
walk3 failed to act on the aDDlication for
paving Eighth and Ninth streets between
yuincy ana .Monro, some ot tne people
in the blocks want wider paving than was
asked for in the petition and it is on
this account that the petitions were not
acted upon.
Every family should have its house
hold medicine chest, and the first bottle
in it should be Dr. Wood s Norway Pine
Syrup, nature's remedy for coughs and
colds.
WHITE MEN OF ALGERIA.
From the London Express.
The Berbers of Algeria are a people of
whom there is much good to be said.
Whether in the olive-clad mountains t f
Kabylia oi the terraced valleys of the!.
Aurasian fastnesses, they are white men
and in general act like whjte men.
Very little is known about them in this
country, but Mr. Anthony Wilkin has
written so fascinatingly about them in
his admirable book "Among the Berbers
of Algeria," that there la no excuse for
us to remain longer in ignorance con
cerning this interesting race of men.
Among them the virtues of honesty,
hospitality and good nature are con
spicuous; and It is something of a mis
fortune to reflect that Mahomedanism
and the fact that they no longer dwell
lu the lowlands prevent them entering
as they would otherwise have entered, on
the path of peace and progress.
Descendants of a mighty race, whose
culture once spread from the Atlantic to
the Red sea and the Hauron, from Crete
to Timbuetoo and the Soudan, there are
still to be found among them the ves
tiges of the arts and sciences, of the spir
it of conquest, and the capacity for self
government which, if developed, would
again make them a great nation.
The Berber women of the Aures wash
their garments on the rocks, soaking
them, treading upon them, and spread
ing and trampling each piece until it is
quite clean. They have blue eyes and
fair skins, and, unlike the true daugh
ters of the prophet, gaze unveiled upoi
the casual unbeliever.
Throughout the Aures district the
houses are built on the same plan. Whn
e cliff can be found to form the back
wall it is used aa such, Mr. Wilkin in
forms us. If the cliff contains a hole or
hollow, so much the better.
The walls are made of blocks of stone
tet in mud instead of mortar, the larger
crevices being filled with splinters and
the smaller with fragments; while in the
better houses the square faces of the
stones are set outwards in such a way
as to give a very regular appearance.
Inside these houses are generally stone
benches, which have been carved fro.n
the rocks, or are built of odd stones and
plastered flat with mud. The floors also
are of rock leveled with mud.
The animals are sometimes stabled in
the family room ,but as often in a sep
arate stall, either under" or close to the
main building. The women regularly
sweep the roofs every morning; nor are
the villagers so dirty as might be sup
posed. At sunset the women come up from thj
streams bearing water in goat-skins, or
faggots, or forage, all piled upon their
backs. For the most part they are dress
ed In black or dark blue gowns, gathered
in at the waists with brightly-colored
woolen girdles.
Some wear sandals of grass neatly
plaited, and these are commonly worn
by the men as well. Many women go
barefooted, however, like the children.
The wives of rich and indulgent hus
bands are often loaded with coarse sil
ver ornaments, including a gigantic pair
of anklets that weigh nearly a pound,
end clank like chains on the legs of the
proverbial ghost.
Their headdresses vary greatly in the
matter of color, but are all more or lrs3
based on a squarish turban, over which
gaudy handkerchiefs are arranged with
scrupulous care and an excellent ej'e
effect.
The servants wear practically the
same garments as their masters, and are
treated so nicely by them that it i3 iiiffi
cult for a stranger to distinguish them
at once. To notice a servant, however, in
the presence of a kaid would be a grae
breach of etiquette.
Often your host will Insist on waiting
on you himself, and on these occasioc
he will not touch a mouthful himself un
til he sees that his guests are satisfied.
The Berber is a born trader, who will
think nothing of tramping for miles to
gain tl rew pence.
Though tattooing is expressly forbidden
by the Koran, the practice prevails
among all the Berbers of Algeria. The
girls often have a blue cross on the fore
head between the eyes.
Whatever the women think, they in
stantly act elope with some young
spark, take to the mountains, or die pre
maturely, leaving a sorrowful husband
with an all-too-numerous family. They
are creatures of impulse.
Majority of Alaskan Commercial
Companies United.
tSaa Francisco, March 29. The Post
says:
A combination has been formed by
companies engaged in the Alaskan trade
for the purpose of preventing profitless
competition. A uniform scale of prices
will be adhered to, and the companies
of San Francisco, Seattle, Cape Non.e
and Dawson will be on an equal foot
ing. Five companies so far have been dra-vn
into the union, and it is expected that
others will follow. Those that have al
ready signified their intention to abide
by the rules of the agreement are the
Alaska Commercial company and Alas
ka Exploration company of this city:
rhe North American Transportation and
Trading company of Seattle, the Ames
Mercantile company of Cape Nome and
the Seattle-Yukon Trading company of
Seattle and Dawson. They, represent
the bulk of trade with these points in
the Alaskan territory.
The formation of the union is the re
sult of negotiations which have beri
underway for several weeks. Represen
tatives of Seattle and other places have
visited San Francisco for the purpose of
reaching an understanding with the of
ficials of the local companies. Thee
overtures have borne fruit and it Is now-
announced that the combination has
been formed and the agreement enter
ed into although the plans for the prac
tical working of the enterprise have rot
been consummated.
The North American Commercial com
pany of this city did not enter the un
ion as Its business is almost entirely con fined
to the coal trade at Dutch Harbor
The Wild Goose Mining and Trading
company in which Charles D. Lane is
pririipally interested, is also expected,
for Jie reasor. that the company's trade
is restricted to the Lane properties in
Cape Nome.
