' Americau capital it about to engage ia railroad Willing in Cliina. TLiti w ill mean moro .orders fur American wills and more employment for Ameri cau workmen. Thirty prominent women of Howling Green, Ohio, lel ly thewifo of a State Senator, have doutied calico dresses mill begun work peeling tomatoes at threo cents a bucketful. They do tins to net an example to many girls of the place who need employment, but are too proud to seek it in ft canning fac tory. . An interesting development ol civilization in mid-Africa under British rule iu the holdiug of a fine agricul tural fair at Inlngo. Yon will not find that place on auy ordinary map, but it ia not far from the famous Murchison Falls on the Shire Hiver, iu that region Bouth of Lake Nyassa which was the scene- of Livingstone's early labors. The show ia reported to bo particularly strong in exhibits of cattle, poultry, horse.', wheat aud oats, and fruit. The country is highly pros perous, and its salubrity and lituesa for colonization by Europeans are es tablished beyond dispute. It ia by no means improbable that the early part of tho coming century may see the basin of Zambesi the seat of a populous and enlightened empire. The return of the Chicago and At lanta to service marks the accomplish ment of a very interesting step in navy waking, says the New York Com wercial Advertiser. These with the Boston were the first cruisers ia the new navy. They Lave been so sur passed by the newer cruisers that in ten yeara from their completion they wero obsolete. Now they have been so remodelled that they are new again; their armament increased, military masts added, and new engines put ia which give them eighteen instead of fifteen knots speed. This ia the first example of modern naviea of bringing an old ship perfectly up to date. If tho same thing can - be dono w ith battleships it will improve greatly the efficiency of the navy. England ha3 some twenty battleships whose low speed, thin armor and muzzle loading guns make them almost use less in combat against the ships whioli every great nation is now building. These ships are carried on tho ad miralty list as effective, but are ad mittedly relied upon for coast defense only. It will be interesting if Yankee inventiveness shall teach European nations to rebuild obsolete battleships and make their paper squadron effec tive. i What is called the A B 0" of the Swedish educational gymnastics has been ia use in the Boston primary and grammar schools since 1891. It ha3 pleased both teachers and pupils, and this year an advanoe"will be made to the higher course, such 113 has been vised in the Bchoola iu Sweden aud Norway for more than thirty years. Its introduction ia expected to place Bos ton schools at the head in the matter ofjphysical training. One of the prominent parts of the now order ia that.it introduces iuto tho schools a schedule of games with balls, bean bags, etc., intended to develop a quick and responsive mind. Ten minutes o tho forenoon session will be devoted to instruction in the Swedish move ment, and during about six. minutes each afternoon the pupils will have tho use of tho school-rooms .for marching and for games. Of course, the yards will be used for the marching and games exercises jvhon that i3 morecon venient. In the past the exercises have been the same for girls as for boys; but the new order provides for a slight difference in this respect. A further plan under consideration is to install ia tho grammar schools a set of Swedish apparatus such as a stall-bar, a "boon," or horizontal bar, a balance board, etc. When these ora installed and ready for uro, the physical train ing will bo practically tho fame & it jjin the high school fur girls. illHATORS 111 IdO. MOKK MSUlOAL TESTIMONY niiot'tiirr out hy witsfsmn. BHD FOOD AND BHD WATER. Kansas CMjf Do. lor Srrlf Itnn.ts Arm tturgoons -Telia alllclilr Inter riling hlnry. General Dodge. Colonel Sexton and Dr. Conner, of tins war investigating rommUMon, arrived in Chicago Mon day and immediately began the exami nation of witnesses at the Auditorium hotel. A large number of witnesses wero on the list. Dr. Lewis Schooler, of Den Moines, la., was the first witness to testify. From June 7th to July 17th Dr. Schooler w as stationed at Camp Thomas ai chief Burgeon of the Second divis ion, Third corps. Questioned by Dr. Conner, be said that during the time he was there the Bunitary condition in tie hospitals was not very good; that the Rinks in tho whole division were bad, owing principally to tl'ie character of the I grouud, aud the discipline was rather lax. ! "At the opcuiug," said Dr. Shooler, "there were practically no facilities for the care of the sick; we wero short of medicines and had no apparatus by which tho stewards could prepare the medicines that we had. "The regimental hospitals, all bul oue or two, were poorly supplied with medicines as division hospitals, Re quisitions were mado for more, but they were generally disapproved at the camp headquarters." Asked to give, in as few words as possible, his opinion about the gen eral condition at Camp Thomas dur ing the time ho was stationed there. Dr. Schooler said: Colonel I.ee Censured. "In the first place, the quartermas ter and surgeons could not agree as to the number of tents that wo should have. Colonel Lee contended that , we were limited to a certain number of tents, seventeen, I think it was, in the beginning. We afterwards prevailed upon him to give us twenty-one. Ilia contention was that he could not issue tents beyond the prescribed number. I think the quartermaster's depart ment was largely responsible for the great sickness; the medical department (that is, the supply department) was also responsible for some things. Then we lacked facilities, to make reports on did not even have stationery." Wilier Not Fit to Drink. In regard to the water supply at the camp, Dr. Schooler stated that he did not think any of tho surgeons in his division considered the water fit to drink. And, again, there was not enough teams at the disposal of the oflicers to enable them to bring sufii cient water. He gave as his opinion that the medical oflicers were hampered too much by oflicers of higher rank, but who had no medical training. When questioned as to the lack of nurses, the doctor said that he thought that both the nurses as well as the oflicers were overworked. Food Waa Bail. Dr. Milo B. Ward, of Kansas City, who was a brigade surgeon at Camp Thomas from July 12th to September 10th, when asked as to the condition of the hospitals, Raid that there was a great lack of medicines, only some of the very simplest medicines being on hand. "The food which was furnished the men," said he, "I would not want to give to my pet dog." He said that the food would .have been all right had it been properly cooked, but in the shape in which it was brought to the men, it was enough to make anybody sick. The doctor was then questioned as to the lack of attention shown patients just coming down with .disease. The doctor stated that, he knew of several cases where the patients were allowed to lie out on the ground the whole day and also during the night before being taken to the hospital. FANATIC'S AWFUL CRIME. A Mother Saturate ITer Clothing With Oil and Appliex Match. One of the most tragic scenea in the history of fanaticism has just been en acted in tho city of New York, accord ing to a dispatch from that city. Mrs. Muntag, a Catholic, repenting her marriage to a Hebrew, inspired by the zeal of fanaticism and filled with remorse because she had taken an un believer for a husband, saturated her gown with kerosene and set it on ilre Surrounded by her children, she muttered pravers, and when the match w as applied, the little ones ran shriek ing av.ay as the flamea blazed about the unfortunate ii:xr or Tin: murmur. fttnte Ir, rlmrnt MnUr I llf I onteiits of I lie lhr i iiiiit .

KAY FORBIDS AN EXECUTION. Courtmart lal Sentence Itjr a Cuban Gen eral Wat Not Carried Out. A Santiago dispatch says: An inci dent has occurred which is causing much talk among the Cubans, and may create ill feeling. The Cuban general, Perez, recently ordered the trial by courtmartial of one of his men on a charge of deserting the army in time of war. The prisoner was sentenced to death, but before the sentence was executed notification was sent to Colonel Bay, of the Third immune regiment, who laid the matter before General Wood, commander of tho military department of Santiago. General Perez was at once informed that if the man was executed he and the firing party would be. hauged as soon as the courts could legally sen tence them. He was instructed that if a man committed a crime punish able under the civil laws he should be turned over to the proper authorities, who would look into the case. TROUBLE FEARED IN PARIS Should Cassation Court of Inquiry X'rove Favorable to Captain Dreyfus. The London Daily Chronicle pub lished the following in its issue of Monday morning: "We have received information from a reliable quarter of a well organized plot in Paris in the event of the in quiry of the court of cassation proving favorable to Dreyfus to foment a riot ous outburst in the French capital, to attempt to overthrow the civil power and to assassinate the leading cham pions of Dreyfus. "These reports are confirmed by interviews with M. Trarienx, former minister of justice, aud M. DePressio so, former editor of Tho Temps, as well as others. The police have warn ed those friends of Dreyfus to change their residence temporarily or at least to carry revolvers." UL AIM ISSUED TOU EOYllMF.IT OF THOOrS ISLA1 OF tl UA. TO WILL FIR3T COMPRISE A BRIGADE. Third (Jfforitla and I Ighth CIrjr WIU IU Taken From the ieulli Army Corps. The war department ha issued a general order for the movement of troops to Cuba. "The first troops will leave about November 22, and will comprise a brigade under Brigadier General Car penter. The brigade will bo taken from the Seventh army corps. The brigade will be sent to Neuvitas, Puerto Principe. Orders were issued Thursday morn ing making the Third Georgia regi ment a part of the brigade of Brigadier General Carpenter. The headquarters of the brigade will be at Neuvitas, which is ia the province of Puerto Principe, on tha north coast. The quartermaster's department has been ordered to furnish the Third Georgia and tho Eighth cavalry with eixty days' rations at once, and they will proceed immediately to Savannah, Ga., embarking on or before Novem ber 23. It is understood that three transports have been ordered there to take tho regiment off. The Third Georgia and the Eighth cavalry will bo the first of the troops to go to Cuba, but they will be rapidly followed by other commands, for the president has expressed his intention of putting fifty thousand soldiers in the island of Cuba as rapidly as it can be done. Brigadier General Carpen ter is now at lluntville and is a man in w horn the president and the officials of the war department have great re liance. I Neuvitas, being in the north part of Cuba, is considered a particularly healthy place. It is not likely that the troops will arrive at their destination before the first of December. It ia the intention of the war de partment to have General Lee's corps sail about the last of December, and the greater portion of it is to go io Havana province It is expected that the transports will enter Havana harbor about the last of the year, that on the first of January they will be able to disembark and march into Havana with a triumphal entry.

Was very nervous at times, and so weak I was hardly able to do any thing. Was subject to headaches, also troubled with leucorrhcea. After doc toring for many months with different, physicians, and getting no relief, I had given up all hope of being1 well again when I read of the great good Lydia E. Tinkham's Vegetable Com pound was doing1. I decided immedi ately to give it a trial. The result was Imply past belief. After taking four bottles of Vegetable Compound and using three packages of Sanative Wash . I can say I feel like a new woman. I deem it my duty to announce the fact to my fellow sufferers that Lydia E. Finkham's Vegetable remedies have entirely cured me of all my pains and suffering.
