«La Santa De Csbora,
Something About the Young Mexican Girl
Whose Powers of Healing are so Wonderful.
A despatch from the City of Mexico
says: Considerable excitement has
been created at Guaymas, in the State of
Sonora, by the arrest of a young girl
called Teresa Urrea, who for some time
past, has, on account of the marvellous
cures effected by her, been an object of
veneration in that primitive locality
Teresa is now twenty years of age, of
tall, slight and delicate build, with a
dark olive complexion, and singularly
expressive and penetrating black eyes.
Cabora, her native place, is a small vil-
lage of some three hundred inhabitants
buried in the heart of the Sierra Madre.
Her father is a well-to-do farmer, who
has been it is said, almost impoverished
by the crowds of pilgrims who have as-
sembled from all parts of Sonora and
Lower California, and have claimed his
bounty.
The most conspicuous edifice in the
village is the parish church of San An-
tonio de Pardua, one of the old mission
stations established in the colonial per-
iod by Franciscan Friars.
Teresa, as a child, used to remain for
hours praying in this church, but it ap-
pears that nothing in her condition dis-
tinguished her from other girls in her
position, She was quiet and industrious
and dutiful, and somewhat given to re-
ligious contemplation. Her curing
powers were developed some two years
ago, and soon her fame spread far and
wide over the Pacific Slope of this Re-
public. Crowds of pilgrims trooped to
the once quiet village of Cabora to re-
ceive Teresa’s hearling touch. Indians
from neighboring States often encamp-
ed in thousands on the hillsides, as
house accommodation in the village
proved totally insufficient for the crowd
of devotees.
Eminent medical authorities testify
the completeness and permanency of
many cures wrought by this remarkable
young girl, Some physicians who
have studied the case say that Teresa is
capable of self hypnotization. At all
events, her touch was a cure. Her very
lance alleviated painful symptoms,
er pale, ‘spirtuelle face, her magical
touch, the inspiration which glowed in
her young face, Spies fascinated
all who approached her, Throughout
rural Mexico there is a widespread be-
lief in witches, the Indians resorting to
“las Brujas,” as they are called for
light on mysteries, remedies for disease
and fortune-telling. There is also
much dread of the spells which these
witches may east over people who ‘have
incurred their enmity ; so, in Sonora,
those were not wanting who regarded
Teresa Utrrea as one of the most power-
ful of witches. She had been seen at
nightfall ascending to the clouds, disap-
pearing above them, and it was even
said, she rode on forked lighting. She
was, it has been related, cousin to a
mighty spirit, who had given her power
over earth, air, and fire.
Her fame has spread over the country
and her gifts are not doubted by those
who have examined all the evidence.
She appears to be a girl ofa singularly
sweet nature, given to meditation and
mystic dreams and visions.
n the course of time the authorities
of the State of Sonora began to grow
distrustful and jealous of the increasing
authority and influence acquired by
Teresa over the large masses of Indians.
The gathering of large numbers of na-
native tribes in whom discontent
is latent and who still keep alive
the flerce spirit of their ancestors
and are in constant intercourse with the
Yaquis and Mayos, who periodically
rise in open revolt against the Mexican
authorities, began to be reconsidered a
menace to public tranquillity, more es-
pecially as the Indians assembled at
abora, under the magical influence of
Teresa, were constantly wrought up to
a high pitch of religious excitement, in
which it would not have been difficult
for a bold leader to engage them in any
desperate und dangerous enterprise.
Not long ago a group of 300 Mayo
Indians attacked thelittle town of Nav-
ajo, and it was observed that during
their assault on the place their war cry
was “Viva Teresa! Viva la Santa de
Gabora!” Tt is not known that Teresa
instigated this movement, or that sche
even had any knowledge of it, It is
more probable that the Indians used her
name merely on account of the venera-
tion with which they regard her, and
in the belief that it would act as a pass-
word to the triumph of their rebellion
against the duly constituted authori-
ties.
_ But the authorities of Sonora deemed
it wise to attempt to break the influence
of which Teressa was the centre, and
with the view of investigating whether
she had any actual share in the Maro
rebellion she was arrested and taken for
the first time from her native village to
Port Guaymas. Thence she was con-
ducted, accompanied by her father,
Thomas Urrea, to Nogales, on the
American frontier, and itis now re-
ported that she will be brought to this
city. It is now hoped that by the re-
moval of Teressa the ferment of popu-
lar excitement which’ for the past two
years has been growing more and more
active in the neighborhood of Cabora
and, indeed, all over the State of Sano-
ra, will gradually subside.
All for a Barley Corn.
LaFontaine, in one of his fables, tells
of a barnyard fowl that scratched up a
gem, while scratching for corn. Not
knowing its value, he gave it to a stone
cutter for a barley corn Thus do many
persons throw away the priceless pearl
of health. A ‘‘trifling” cough is neg-
lected, then comes Consumption, then
death. Stay the cough or look out for
a coffin, Dr. Pierce’s Golden Medical
Discovery will cure catarrh in the head,
bronchial or throat affections, ‘or lung
scrofula (commonly known as the con-
sumption of the lungs.) If taken in
time, and given a fair trial, it will cure,
or the money paid for it will be refund-
ed. Tt is the only guaranteed cure.
~——Java has more thunder storms
than any other region in the world.
A Wise Young Woman.
Young Adolphus Fitzwilliam, he loved a fair
maid,
But to ask her to marry him he was afraid,
Because of catarrh, which she had very bad;
So much so that often the youth was quite
lad
To Ont at the parting, the kiss of the lover.
The reason of this she set out to discover,
*Cotsih makes me loathsome. It's fatal to
ove.
0, darling Adolphus, by all that's above
I vow I'll not lose thee if something there is
To drive out catarrh and to sweeten a kiss.”
So this wise young woman began
searching for a cure, and good luck at-
tended her. She found Dr. Sage’s Ca-
tarrh Remedy, at the drug store, and
felt convinced that a preparation which
the proprietors had such confidence in
that they were willing to offer to pay
$500 for a case they cannot cure, must
be worth trying. She bought it. She
tried it. It cured her. Ard when
Adolphus kissed her at the altar last
week, her kiss was as sweet and pure as
roses in June.
Girls, a word of advice: If you want
a lover to stay a lover, you must get
rid of catarrh. Do as this sensible girl
did, and get the only sure remedy for
this disgusting and dangerous disease—
Dr. Sage’s Catarrh Remedy.
An Armless Painter.
There is an armless man living in Ant-
werp who paints, using his toes, and
who is above the average as a copyist.
Injthe gallery he is as much of a show
as are the pictures. His indifference to
surroundings leads an observer to for-
get this is a creature of flesh and blood
and soul. Butone woman saw deeper.
She was sitting near when a letter was
handed the artist. He took it in one
foot and a dexterous toe of the other
slit a side of the envelope open. The
letter came and was read, with a visibly
fallen face and distressed look. The
armless man evidently had bad news.
He refolded the sheet, a toe gliding
along the edges creasing them exactly
a3 you use your thumb when in a medi-
tative mood. Then the foot came up to
the breast pocket and tucked the letter
in, This was all done so easily that it
seemed impossible these feet were not
hands, but when a foot flew up to the
face and with the back of the big toe
brushed a tear from the armless man’s
eye, then, indeed, he ceased to be a ma-
chine. His sorrow seemed deeper than
other men’s sorrows. He arose Slipped
his feet into low shoes and went sadly
out. It was a pathetic picture, to be
always hung in the memory gallery be-
side the Rubens and the Quentin Mal-
sys canvasses of the Antwerp Musem,
A LirrLE GIRL'S EXPERIENCE IN A
LieETHOUSE.—Mr. and Mrs, Loren
Trescott are keepers of the Gov. Light-
house at Sand Beach Mich. and are
blessed with a daughter, four years old.
Last April she was taken down with
Measles, followed with a dreadful cough
and turning into a fever. Doctors at
home and at Detroit treated her, but in
vain, she grew worse rapidly, until she
was & mere ‘handful of bones.””—Then
she tried Dr. King’s New Discovery and
after the use of two and a half bottles,
was completely cured. They say Dr.
King’s New Discovery is worth its
weight in gold, yet you may get a bot-
tle fres at Parrish’s Drugstore.
A Cloud Burst.
Lock Haven, Pa., June 20.—A
cloudburst in Gorman valley, this coun-
ty, last night caused great damage to
crops and swept away fences, bridges
and outbuildings on farms. On Plum
run Robert Kalenbach and family were
fleeing from their home which was in-
undated. He had his 6-months-old
child in his arms and fell. The child
was recovered this morning half a mile
away. No other lives were lost. The
barn of George Thompson, in Dunsta-
ble township, was struck by lightning
and burned with its contents, including
two horses. The loss is estimated at
$4,000, Partly insured. The loss to
farmers cannot be estimated as only
meager particulars have been received
so far.
~——Cholera infantum has lost its ter-
rors since the introduction of Chamber-
berlain’s Colic, Cholera and Diarrhea
Remedy. When that remedy is used
and the treatment as directed with each
bottle is followed, a cureis certain.
Mr. A. W. Walters, a prominent mer-
chant at Waltersburg, Ill., says: “It
cured my baby boy of cholera infantum
after several other remedies had failed.
The child was so low that he seemed
almost beyond the aid of human hands
or reach of any medicine.” 25 and 50

ITCHING CHILDREN
NO SLEEP AT NIGHT. NO REST BY DAY.
HOW THESE LITTLE ONES HAD TO
SUFFER.
CUTICURA TOOK ALL OF THIS ITCH
OUT OF THEIR SKINS IN SIX WEEKS.
LEFT NOT A BLEMISH.
My children, nine in number, were all troub-
led with an itching of the skin. They could
not sleep at night, and through the day my
wife felt ashamed to see the way those little
ones had to suffer. So we concluded to try
Cuticura Remedies, and believe if we had not
used your valuable remedies our little family
would not have n cured yet. Outicura
Remedies took all of this itch out of their skins
inside of six weeks. My wife then bought
more, and kept on giving it to the children,
and thank God an your valuable Cuticura
Remedies, my children have not got a blemish

CZEMA 10 YEARS CURED
I purchased and used Cuticura with the most
gratifying results. I was troubled with ecze-
ma in the form of salt rheum for ten years,and
had quite despaired of being cured. Cuticura
with the help of the Cuticura Soap and Cuticu-
ra Resolvent, has permanently removed my
oi and left my flesh sound and
ealthy.

CUTICURA REMEDIES
If the thousands of little babies who have
been cured of agonizing, itching, burning
bleeping, scaly, and blotchy skin and scalp
diseases could write, what a host of letters
would be received by the proprietors of the
Cuticura Remedies. Few can appreciate the
azony these little ones suffer, and when these
creat remedies relieve in a ‘single application
the most distressing eczemae and itching and
burning skin disease, and point to a speedy
and permanent cure, it is positively jinhuman
not to use them without a moment's delay.

Jo[
1t is a pretty well settled principal with all ex-
pert tea men that the highest perfection in tea can-
not be attained from any one kind or variety of tea
plant. But that the best value and choicest flavor
can be obtained only by a skillful blending of care-
Jully selected high grade goods of different varieties.
When teas are perfectly blended the original flav-
or of each variety disappears in the blend, and from
the combination we get something entirely new and
much finer than any of the original flavors.
We have a new blend of our own. In the prepa-
ration of which we have spent considerable time and
labor and have also had the aid and counsel of sev-
eral as good tea men as are to be found in the Unit-
ed States. It is with entire confidence that we of-
Jer the goods for sale and unhesitatingly claim them
20 be very superior both in value and flavor.
If you want a cup of ROYAL TEA, try our
new blended goods.
We also carry a full line of Teas, Oolongs, Ja-
pan, Young Hyson, Imperials, Gunpowder, Eng-
lish Breakfast, also several grades of blended goods,
and can suit the trade on anything in the tea line.
You may not be exactly suited on the goods you are
using, and we feel confident that you will be able
to get from us just what you are wanting. We sell
Jine teas at very reasonable prices. Try them.
We have a clean dry sugar 80s for jocts. the
