For Scrofula'
“After suffering for about twenty-five
years from scrofulous sores on the legs
and arms, trying various medical courses
without benefit, I began to use Ayer’s
Sarsaparilla, and a wonderful cure was
the result. Five bottles sufficed to re
store me to health.”—Bomfacia Lopez,
327 E. Commerce st., San Antonio, Texas.
Catarrh
“My daughter was afflicted for nearly
a year with catarrh. The physicians be
ing unable to help her, my pastor recom
mended Ayer’s Sarsaparilla. I followed
his advice. Three months of regular
treatment with Ayer’s Sarsaparilla and
Ayer’s Pills completely restored my
daughter's health.”—Mrs. Louise Rielle,
Little Canada, Ware, Mass.,
Rheumatism
"For several years, I was troubled
with Inflammatory rheumatism, being so
bad at times as to be entirely helpless.
For the last two years, whenever I felt
the effects of the disease, I began to take
Ayer’s Sarsaparilla, and have not had a
spell for a long time.”—E. T. Hansbrough,

READY FOR THE DEDICATION.
Chicago, Oct. 8. —The programme
for world’s fair dedication ceremonies
was completed Friday at a joint meet
ing of the national and local commit
tees on ceremonies. It now has the
approval of all authorities. It was de
cided to put no limit upon the time of
speakers, but to allow their good judg
ment to dictate the proper length of
their orations.

20, and ending Saturday, October 22.

L. Turner will give a reception and

municipal officers throughout the coun

ments have been made for seat
ing 90,000 people in the Manufactures
building, and room for 35 000 more peo

persons, whose tickets will indicate

A NEW RULER.
Gen. Crespo Ih Proclaimed President of
the Venezuelan Kepubllc.
Caracas, Oct., 10. Gen. Joaquin
Crespo was accorded an enthusiastic
reception upon his triumphal entry
into Caracas Sunday. He marched into
the capital at the head of the remainder
of his army, 3,000 men having taken
possession of the city Saturday.
A council of his officers and advisers
was held and the result v as the procla
mation of Crespo as provisional
president of the republic. He
is to hold office < nly until the
regularly elected congressman
shall have had time to meet again and
proceed to the election of a constitu
tional successor to ex-President Rai
mundo Andueza Palacio.
Crespo then issued a proclamation
naming the following cabinet:
Minister of foreign affairs. Pedro Ezequiel
Rojas; minister of the interior. Leon Colina;
minister of tina" ce, Senor Pietro: minister of
war, Guzman Alvarez: chief of police, Gen.
Victer Rodriquez; chief of telegraphs, Leo
jioldo Baptista: minister of public works, Mu
noz Tebar: minister ot instructions. Silva
Gaudoiphy: general in chief. Kamon Guerra:
governor ot Caracas Senor Andrade.
These are all well-known Venezue
lans who have aided tbe cause of the
legalists by active service in the field
or by financial contributions. The pro
visional cabinet gives general satisfac
tion. It will restore order throughout the
distracted republic. The rumors con
cerning the escape of the de facto presi
dent. Vibegas-Pulido, and his minis
ters are confirmed. They managed to
get a vessel bound for Martinique. It
is said to be their intention to proceed
to France.
Fell Dead in tbe Pulpit.
Washington, Oct 11.—Rev. Thomas
Allen (colored) chaplain of the Provi
dence Presbyterian church of this city,
fell dead in the pulpit Sunday while
preaching a sermon. He was 4-> years
HAIL COLUMBIA.
The School Children of the Country Will
Have a Holiday.
Washington, Oct 10.—The order of
exercises which will be carried out
by the school children of
the capital and throughout the
schools of the country on Colum
bus day, October 21, will
be quite elaborate. A flag will be
raised and saluted bv the children, and
a detail of veterans of the war will be
at each school building to assist in per
forming that duty. Then "The Song of
Columbus Day," set to well-known
music will be sung. There will be an
address to be determined by the best
speaker among the boys and an ode
will be read by a young lady. The
singing of “America" will be the clos
ing of the musical part of the pro
gramme. This programme is one ar
ranged by the executive committee of
superintendents of education, and will
be carried out in all the schools of the
country.
OFFERED A REWARD.
The Caraegle Company Anxious to Dis
cover the Bomb Throwers.
Pittsburgh, Pa., Oct 10.—The Car
negie Steel Company have offered a re
ward of SI,OOO for the arrest of the per
petrator of the dynamite outrage at
Homestead last week. The company
has its own detectives working on the
case. Friday at midnight an attempt
was made to blow up the lodging
house of the non-union men at
the Twenty-ninth street city mill.
A bomb was thrown. It was filled
with dynamite but so poorly con
structed that it failed to do its work.
At the time of the explosion a rain of
bricks, stones and clubs fell on the
heads of the non-union men in the
mill. It is thought that both assaults
were the work of strikers and it is
likely that arrests will be made short
ly both at Homestead and Pittsburgh.
MADE THEM ALL RICH.
A Decision of the Courts BrinffM Fortune
to the Woods and Their Attorney.
Denver, Col., Oct 10.—The United
States court of appeals has denied the
petition for a rehearing in the case of
the Wood heirs against Jerome B.
Wheeler. The court had rendered a de
cision giving the Wood heirs a
one-third interest in the Emma mine
at Asp**.:, together with a like propor
tion of the. product of the mine for the
past seven years. F. A. Green, the
attorney for the Woods, will re
ceive probably the largest single fee
ever earned by a lawyer in the coun
try. He gets over a million in money
and a large, interest in the mine, for
which a syndicate once offered $17,500,*
000. Every one of the Wood heirs is
made independently rich by the deci
sion.
STRUCK IN A FOG.

Seattle, Wash., Oct. 10.—The < ana
dian Pacific Navigation Company’s

of Port Townsend, at 3 o’clock Sunday
afternoon. Four men were killed, one

unknown passenger, jumped overboard and
drowned.
Famine Will Follow Hie Plague.
Hamburg, Oct. 11. —The outlook for
the coming winter among the poor anti
bereaved of this city is gloomy. The
money thus far subscribed for the re
lief of distress caused by the cholera
has already been entirely spent, with
little visible lesult. The need of an
organized system of relief is urgent,
and unless something in that line is
speedily accomplished famine will fol
low the plague.
Proclaimed a Holiday.
Chicago, Oct 11. —Mayor W’ashbnrne
has issued a proclamation declaring
Thursday, October 20, a holiday in and
for the city of Chicago, directing that
all public offices be closed, and request
ing that all business be suspended on
that d'ay in order that citizens may

New York, Oct. 11.—Dr. August G.
Seibert, who was sent to Hamburg and
Berlin by the health board if this city
to observe and report on the methods
of quarantine against cholera in use

way in which cholera can be effectually
kept out of this country is to stop im
migration.

Justice Paxton’s Charge to the
Jury in the Treason Casos.
He Say* the Homestead Wurkmeu Had

BAD FOR STRIKERS.
Pittsburgh. Pa., Oct IL—Chief Jus
tice Paxton, of the state supreme court
at 10 a. m. charged the grand jury in
the treason cases against the Home
stead strikers. The charge contained
over 5,000 words and embraced * graph
ic resume of the circumstances leading
up to the riot at the Carnegie Home
stead mill and the subsequent charges
of treason lodged against thirty-three
union men. Justice Paxton said:
"We can have some sympathy with a mob
driven to desperation by hunger, as In the days
of the French revolution, but we can find none
for men receiving exceptionally high wages In
resisting the law and resorting to violence and
bloodshed in the assertion of imaginary rights
and entailing such a vaet expense upon the tax
payer* of the aommonwealth. It was not a cry
for bread to feed their famishing lips, resulting
in a sudden outrage, with good provocation: it
was a deliberate attempt by men without
authority to control others in the enjoyment
of their rights. ”
In defining the law. Justice Paxton
said:
"When the company shutdown its works and
discharged Its men It was acting strictly in the
lines of the law; it could not compel the men to
work nor could the men compel the company to
employ them: no arrangement could be
made in such regard except In the
nature of a contract agreed upon by
the parties. Upon this subject their t ights
were mutual. The company had the undoubted
right to protect its property: for this purpose it
could lawfully employ as many men as it saw
proper and arm them If necessary. The right
of the men was to refuse to work unless their
terms were acceded to and persuade others to
join them In such refusal, but the law will sus
tain them no further. The moment they at
tempt to control the works, and to prevent
by violence or threats of violence other laborers
from going to work, then they placed them
selves outside the pale of the law. Il 'annot be
tolerated for a moment that one laborer shall
say to another laborer: ‘You shall not work foi
this man for that wage without my consent,’
and then enforce such command by brutal vio
lence upon his person.
"You will observe that the offense charged is
treason against the state, and not against the
United States. It is a matter with which the
latter has nothing to do and over which it cun
have no jurisdiction. A mere mob, collected
upon the impulse of the moment, without any
definite object beyond the gratification of its sud
den passions,doe* not commit treason, although
it destroys property and attacks human life.
But when a large number of men arm and or
ganize themselves and engage in a com
mon purpose to defy the law. to resist
its officers and deprive their fellow-clti-
Zens of the rights to which they are en
titled under ths constitution and laws, it
is a leyfng of war against the state, and the
offense is treason. Where a body of men
have organized for a treasonable purpose every
step which any one of them takes in part ex
ecution of their common purpose is an overt
act of treason. Every member of such asserted
government who has participated in such
usurpation has committed treason against the
state."
He closed by saying:
“We have reached the point in the history ot
the state where there are but two roads for uh
to pursue. The one leads to order and good
government; the other leads to anarchy. The
one great question which concerns the people
of this country is the enforcement of the law
and the preservation of order, ”
When Justice Paxton announced that
it was not necessary that only the com
monwealth be inveighed against for
one to be guilty of treason, that it is
proper for any firm or corporation to
hire guards from any state whatsoever
and arm such guards, the faces of de
fendants lengthened perceptibly. The
instructions fell among them as a
knell. There seems to be little doubt
that true bills will be returned. And if
true bills lie returned there is little
doubt that several of the strikers will
be convicted.

THE NATION'S FOUNDER.
New York, Oct. 10. —After many
months of preparation tbe great New
York celebration of the 400th anniver
sary of the discovery of America by
Columbus was ushered in Saturday by
special services in the various syna
gogues of this city. The city in many
quarters displays profuse decorations,
and it is believed that by to-day
hardly a house in the city will lx? with
out some semblance of decoration in
honor of the great event.
The services in all the Hebrew tem
ples were distinctively patriotic, differ
ing only in this, that the synagogues
adhering to the rigid ceremonials of
the orthodox faith permitted no interi
or decorations to interfere with the se
vere simplicity of the services incident
to the Feast of the Tabernacles.
Special services were held In most of
the churches. The choirs in some of
the churches were assisted by orches
tras, and elaborate musical programmes
were given. The pulpits and altars
were adorned with flowers. All of the
discourses were prepared with special
consideration for the children, so that
the youngest attendant could appreciate
the importance of the services.
YOUNG AMERICA.
New York, Oct 11.—Young Ameri
ca's patriotic tribute to Columbus
thrilled the metropolis Monday, the
third day of the Columbian celebration.
There was a triple programme by
which the refinement of the nation was
to be commemorated, showing the
progress of art in the exhibition at the
National Academy of Design, the ad
vance of education in the marching
youth of the schools and colleges, and
the allegory of the "Triumph of Colum
bus" at Carnegie Music hall.
The parade of school children was
the first event of the legitimate cele
bration. About 10,500 children from
New York, Brooklyn and New Jersey,
each carrying American flags, were in
line. About 10,000 of these represented
the public schools of New York city,
8,000 from Brooklyn and between 4,000
and 5,000 from New Jersey cities.
Results of more than 250 years of
educational work were represented in
the parade, for the first, school found
ed by the old Dutch settlers in 1633, in
that part of "New Amsterdam” now
known as West Seventy-seventh street,
is still in existence and is called the
school of the reformed church.
THK FIREWORKS.
Brooklyn bridge was the place of at
traction in the evening. A gorgeous
display of fireworks had been promised,
and at an early hour great crowds be
gan to gather at points of vantage
on the river fronts in both cities,
while hundreds of craft; loaded with
passengers, were anchored at favora
ble points in the river und harbor. Al!
the high buildings in New York near
the river were utilized, and those
on Park row and other near streets
were fairly covered with people. The
display fully met the expectations of
the people. Among the set pieces was
a statue of Columbus ami a representa
tion of the ship in which the discoverer
set sail from Genoa. Two tons of
powder were used in the colored tire
for the series of fifteen illumina
tions, which were accompanied with
salvos and flights of screaming rockets,
bombs, roman candles and gas bal
loons. One of the most striking dis
plays was a representation of Niagara
falls in silver fire. This was at the
New York end of the bridge. It was
625 feet wide and represented a daz
zling cascade of shining silver 200 feet
high. There was a novel telegraphic
message, written in letters of fire, sent
from one tower to the other by the
Morse code.
