J. Palmer 0'leill Says a Few Words
About the Present Situation.
THE SPORTIXG NEWS OF THE DAT
There was a desperate prize fight at
Wilkesbarre for the lightweight champion
ship. A colored man won. There is more

the condition of baseball affairs.
ISrEClAI. TXLZGKAM TO TI1B DISrxTCIT.1
"Wilkesbaree, Pa., March 31. Dan
O'Donnell, of Scranton. and James Jackson
(colored), of this city, fought for the light
weight championship of Northeastern Penn
sylvania, in Jester's Clnb rooms, this after
noon. O'Donnell started in aggressively,
knocking his man down in the first round
and drawing blood in the second. During
the rest of the fight Jackson was the best
man. He knocked his opponent all over
the ring. In the eleventh round O'Donnell
was sent sprawling on bis back. It is
alleged that Jackson struck him -while
down. Foul was claimed but not allowed.
O'Donnell refused to eo on with the fight and
Jackson was declared the winner.
TVELL-KNOWJ? SEK.
Both contestants are w ell known throngnout
the Eastern part of the State. Many patrons
of the ring nave heretofore claimed that Jack
son was the best colored man of his weight in
America. To-day's battle was in many respects
to test him for a contest with a national cham
pion. The result shows that Jackson is a clever
little fellow and a pugilist that will mate his
mark. From beginning to end of the battle it
was fierce. Both men wero punished severely,
and at the end of the fourth round it was
thought that neither man would last another
round.
SCIEXCE HAD THE EFFECT.
"O'Donnell was the heavier man and he used
bis strength aggressively in the beginning of
the fight and Jackson used bis science. The
fight was of the brutal kind because both men
were prepared to take all punishment they
could stand. Jackson now claims the light
weight championship of Pennsylvania. The
claim of foul is not acknowled by any authority
present.
There are several fights pending in this dis
trict and almost every contestant claims to be
a champion. 7"here are two or three good col
ored young men lierc and several middle-weight
white fighters. Out of the latter there is cer
tainly one good man whose name will one of
these days oe mentioned publicly. But if an
investigation took place by an enterprising
speculator he would find some good men here.
THE 31'EEESFOET CLUB.
Great Frcparntlons Being Made to Stnrile
All Their Opponents.
TFrECIAI. ixlegbam to Tns msri.Tcn.1
McKEEsroKT, March 31. The new JIcKees
port club is commencing to report, them being
eight of them now berc. Baker, Milbee, Lea
mon and Provins reported Saturday, and Pat
terson, Duncan, Keating came in to-day, and
to-morrow Kunmngcr, of Franklin; Walton, of
Bcranton; Plutnmer, of Boston, and Jahns,
from Saginaw, will be here. Cote, of Troy, will
arrive Wednesday, and Miller, of Pittsburg,
will lie here for Friday's game with the Pnts
burgs, if the weather allows it to be played.
The club has secured the Palace Park Rink,
and are there practicing every day. Our homo
season opens ith the East End Athletics on
Saturday, April 12, followed by Erie, Pa.. Hth
and 15th; Jamestown, IC. Y., loth and 17; Pitts
burg League team, 18tb, and Billy ZccUer's Al
toona team, 21st and 22d.
Great interest is being taken in the clubhere,
and crowds follow the players arouni when
they go out to exercise. Twenty-five men
started to work on the grounds to-day, and bad
the weather been good we would have had the
grounds in excellent shape by the end of this
week. The team that mil must likely play
against Pittsburg on Friday next will be: Mil
bee, pitcher; Cote, shortstop; Duncan, catcher:
Voss. first: Keatimr. second: Johns, third:
Provins, left field; Leamon, center field; Baker
or Patterson, right field.
THEI STAND UXRtFUTED.
The Argument Abont n Cliansc of Schedule
Still Untouched.
The interview with Manager Hanlon, pub
lished in this paper yesterday, caused consid
erable talk amonc baseball people. The state
ment at first sight caused the customary con
clusionthat is the one that is attained with
out thought, to prompt many to shout out
something about "weakening" and "backing
down." "cowardice," eta These cries pre
vailed on better thought to the extent that
several of the directors of the new local clnb,
who have all along been wishing for no coflict
lng dates, haven't nerve enough to defend a
principle of good business, and, therefore, of
successful warfare, but turned over to those
people who have not a dollar invested m the
business, but who sometimes can cry "wolf"
when no wolf is near the sheep.
John Tcner. who leaves this evening to at
tend the New York meeting to-morrow, will
support the popular cry. limited, that is: "War
to the knife." It is understood that he is going
to vote atrainst a change of schedule. The fact
is tbat almost every director and good friend
of the local new club knows that its best and
most successful move is to have a
change of schedule. Outside of a childish
sentiment there is no factor argument tbat can
be urged against a change. Tbe arguments of
Manager Hanlon published, in thfi paper yes
terday, so far stand unref uted.
BILLT IS HERE.
The New Second Banemnn Arrives nnd Has
Something to Say.
"Billy" Robinson, the new second base
player of the new local clnb, arrived in the
city last evening. Great hoDes are centered in
"Billy," particularly by Manager Hanlon, and
if he fulfils them he will be a great ball
player. He is one of the new men to the new
League, that is be comes from the American
Association. Robinson has an excellent
prestice as a ball player. Good, or at least
experienced men say, be is better than Dnnlap.
Time will tell that.
Robinson traveled much of his journey with
Secretary Bruuell and Al Johnson. The latter
during a train conversation, stated that on
Saturday, at St. Louis, 150 were present to see
Von der Abe's American Association team play
with another team, andjdespite tbe rain, street
cars were stopped about the hotel at wnicb tbe
Players' League teams were located on Sun
day, by immense crowds expecting to see tbe
Brotherhood players play. Unfortunatelv, the
weather prevented the came, and Mr. Johnson
estimates tbat 20.000 seats were not occupied on
that day that otherwise would have been oc
cupied. Doubtless. St. Louis a great Brotherhood, or
it may be. Players' League town, and would" be
content with any schedule. Secretary Tener
yesterday declared that the city named would
be an enthusiastic Brotherhood city, that is, a
new League city. Visner, another man from
the American Association, will arrive to-day.
He is a good player.
PALMER O'SEIL IS I0W-V.
The Local Director Saj a Few TVordi on
Bnseball Affairs.
Director J. Palmer O'lfeil, of the local
League, was in tbe city yesterday. He was on
his way from New York to Chicago. He had
not much to say about baseball affairs, but
found time to sav:
There nas been a great change ot feeling in
New York regarding the baseball situation.
Since Mr. Day has leased tbe Polo Grounds for
five) ears, and secured a first-class team, all
tbe followers of the old clnb there are with
him. He has a better team than the Players'
League team is, and that is the general opinion
in New York. The truth Is If we examine all
tbe Players' League teams in the country we
will not find a thoroughly powerful one among
them.
"I think the Players' League schedule will be
changed. Tbat League won't live long at any
rate, but bv changing its schedule I certainly
tblnk it will havu a better chance to get along.
So doubt it would be a good business stroke to
change it,"
JIE. O'.VEUS PROPHECY.
He la Psaitlve That ilio Plnyer' League
Cannot Ex!it.
J. Palmer O'Neil had the following to say to
Brother Mandigo, of the New York San on
Sunday:
It's onlr a question of a very little time, he
said, when a great many of these same players
would have to step out and their places supplied
bv younjrer men.
'.Mr. O'Nell is quite positive that the Brother
hood cannot exist long. No co-operative organi
zation like that can stand and succeed against
sueh a substantial body as the National league.
Take New York as an example," said he.
"lou will have two club, and notwithstanding
it Is one of the best baseball cities in the country.
It could hardly support one club. lam told that
ilr. Day has been identified with a club for elzht
years. Five years, it !s said, he made both ends
meet: two years he made money, and last year he
wasaloser. Xow, what show Is there for a sec
ond clnb In the metropolis?"
ilr. O'Nell said that the fituburg club would
probably sign Dnnlap, and that the management
had a two years' eontraetwitii I'ete rvnwrv u
bought Conway from the Detroit club," he con
tinued. 'forflSOO, and gave Iilmasalaryort3.700.
He pitched In bnt two games, one or which be lost.
Last lalL Just upon the eve or signing a contract,
Conway told President Mmlck that be thought his
arm was all right In the spring, and he couldn't
understand why he was unable to do effective work
In the box. He farther said that he wnnlrfclvn
contract, bat be would not ask for bis original
salary, and named fia as thcamonnt. Ho placed
bis name to the document which called Tor two
years' service. We can bold Conwav, but 1 am
strongly In favor oriettlng mm go. I am not so
certain that his arm will ever be in good condition
again."
TDK OLD LEAGUE CI.UB.
Tory Bnd Weather Threaten the Exhibition
Contest TliU Work.
If this inclement weather continues. Sir Gny
and bis youngsters and oldsters will not get ont
to do battle this week. The colts, and some of
them would be classed bejondthc mark of
colts in many places, were ont yesterday, and
the infield were on tho bases. Youngman, the
new local second baseman, showed up well: he
performed ell.
No doubt Manager Hecker has some good
and promising joung players, and they are
worthy of patronizing. Jlaiu- of them have
had a long experience in baseball playinc and
are by no means "green hands." If Dnnlap
comes here Sir Guv will have a more than
average inneid. lie has an excellent outfield,
and probably the baseball public will discover
that fact before the season ends. Sowdersand
probably the ever popular Billy Sunday will be
here to-day.
The Finnl Decree.
New Yoke, March 3L-Jndge Lawrence in
the Supreme Court this afternoon handed down
a decision one page lone deciding in favor of
John M. Ward in the suit brought against him
by the Metropolitan Exhibition Company. The
Judge says the plaintitT has informed him that
its counsel mil not submit a brief as be is of
opinion that the contract with Ward cannot be
enforced in a court of equity, gives judgment
dismissing the complaint.
ABOUT TDK WRESTLERS.
Jim Connora Returns nnd Issues a Challenge
to the World.
James Connors, the well-known middle
weight wrestler, of this city, returned from his
Western tour yesterday. He has been
from the city for several months, and has taken
part in many prominent contests. His last was
last week when he wrestled against McMillan,
the heavy-weight. The latter undertook to
throw Connors once in 15 minutes, and failed.
.During a conversation regarding the prominent
catch-as-catch-can wre-tlers. Connors said:
"Wrestling is booming out West, and some
first-class contests are taking place every week.
I think Carkoek is the best of all; at any rate I
am inclined to think that he can defeat my
brother Tom, if both are in condition. Car
keek is the best lifter I have ever seen, and he
is so much bigger and stronger than Tom
that he can lift Tom np and throw him down
with a force that bi eaks him all up. Of coarse
Green is a big man and a coort one, and a con
test between him and Carkeek would be a good
one. Oh yes. Carkeek is a better man than
Lewis. Tom, however, is willlne to give any
..t .Sm,a ,K- He is doins weI1 ln Milwaukee.
I think lain a better wrestler than i was
and lam willing to wrestle any middle weight
in the world. I think the Buffalo Athletic
Club will offer a prize for the middleweight
championship contest, and I am ready to meet
any man who desires to contest for the purse.
amr,r,atlr.at an ,lme :o wrestle Jess Clarke,
and Til undertake to throw him a number of
times in an hour."

weather was raw and cold to-day at Clifton,
but the racing was continued to a large attend

much to the delight of the crowd, who think
favorites have a better chance to win on a dry
track. Prince Howard, the favorite in the

There is a probability of a ten-round glove

matched the Pittsburger will accommodate
Nikirk before bis fight with Unham. The con
test, however, must be such that the winner
takes all.

leaves office next week be will devote his entire
attention to the fixing up of the new ball
grounds. He means to have them in sbape as

BELIEF COMES BUT MORE NEEDED.
The Devastated Districts Under Martial
Law to Prevent Bobbery.
OHIO CODKTT, EI., STRICKEN TWICE.
1 Flood Followed the Tornado and Nine Lilts Were
Wiped Ont.
Four inches of snow and slush cover the
streets of Louisville and the humbler classes
who have only canvas to cover them suffer
intensely. The Mayor says $500,000 would
help these people greatly. The districts are
under martial law against plunderers.
Louisville, March 31. "With four
inches of water-soaked snow, which has
slowly melted during the day, the situation
in the tornado-stricken district has been
gloomy indeed. Right is settling down
dismal and dreary upon the wrecked homes,
and in spite of all t Sorts there arc many
broken in spirit, though physical wants are
supplied. The lights gleaming through a
vapor-laden atmosphere serve only to reveal
pictures of desolation.
The streets are in many places ankle deep
in mud and water, and ice cold streams pour
from everywhere. The worst result of the
wet is not so much an additional injury to
property aud goods as in suuering to ill-protected
people. Scores of families are shel
tered only by hastily put up boards or can
vas, and they are wet and cold. Thanks to
a generous and intelligently conducted relief
THERE IS PLENTY OF FOOD
and hunger is not now among the miseries.
Much has been done during the day ior re
lief and much more is being done to-night.
The relief committees and agents are active
ly supplying such protection from the
weather as is possible. The most needy are
first supplied.
In the residence portion of the desolated
district, the snow has greatly retarded re
pairs. To-night very lew of the houses,
even where least damaged, are habitable.
Much household goods has been exposed to
the weather and proportionately to the
total value involved, much greater loss
has been caused by the snow to house
keepers of moderate means than to business
houses and market streets, or even the to
bacco warehousemen. The latter have all
succeeded in getting most of their property
under shelter of some sort. The household
effects would not repay the extraordinary
measures taken to save stocks of goods, and
thousands of dollars' wortb in the aggre
gate, scattered through some 30 blocks of the
city, will lie in the wet for a davor two
longer. On Main street signs have been put
up i n man v partly wrecked stores that orders
will be filled as usual and business has been
resumed.
A STATEMENT FK05I THE MATOR.
In an interview with the Associated Press
to-day, Mayor Jacobs said:
We have now about recovered all the bodies
of those who were destroyed by the recent tor
nado, and I am thoroughly satisfied that tbe
total number of those who were killed outright
and those who will die from wounds sustained
thereby, will not reach 150. While the destruc
tion of property was very heavy, still the great
est suffering will fall upon our humbler classes,
who were living ln their modest homes
that had been accumulated by years of
toil. In my judsrment, f500,(KX) will go
far toward making whole tbe losses of these
poor people, but such as these will have to be
cared for, no matter at what cost. As far as
the business is concerned, with the exception of
tbe leaf tobacco market, it has never been sus
pended, and even in this branch of trade one
half of tbe warehouses were intact, and all are
now ready for custom, as ampletorage room
has been acquired in other carts of tbe city.
Notwithstanding only two days had elapsed
after the cyclone, all wrecks and debris had
been removed on yesterday.
I have never seen such courage and recuper
ative power a3 has been evinced by all who
have been afflicted, and while recognizing, as
some do, that tbe fruits of a lifetime of labor
have been swept away, still they bow bravely
and with proper humility to their fate. As far
as nnblic auiet Is concerned, order has never
been better, and outside of the narrow limits
of tbe district swept by tbe storm, no one would
know that be was in a city tbat had been
scourged by a fierce and most desolating tor
nado.
THE DISTRICT UNDER MARTIAL LAW.
While there have been fewer criminal at
tempts than expected, considering the ex
posed condition of property, one or two in
stances have proved the wisdom of placing
the district under martial law and putting
the State guard on picket duty. Ed Myers,
Isadore Lowenstein. A. J. Marks and Ike
Delman, .Russian Jews, are locked up in
Central police station charged with arson.
They were caught building a large fire in a
demolished store on Market street between
Tenth and Eleventh, which is in themidst
of the shattered district. The fire was ex
tinguished before it had made much head
way. Mrs. Barnwell, wife of the rector of St.
John's Church, was robbed ol everything
she had. All her jewelry was found to
have been taken from a bureau drawer, and
a box containing silverware was broken
open aud the contents taken away. Even
the body ot the dead minister was not sacred
and his gold watch, which the widow cher
ishes particularly, was taken from his pocket.
Ou Friday two ladies visited the demolished
house to secure Mrs. Barnwell's sewing ma
chine for her. They placed it on the pave
ment, and while absent within the machine
was carried off. These outrageous cases are,
however, the only ones reported.
RELIEF POURING IN.
The total amount of the relief fund ap
proximates $110,000. The Board of Trade
has to-day received subscriptions amounting
to $17,000, while numerous checks have
been sent in to the Mayor's office and the
newspaper offices. Among others the Cour
ier Journal doubled its subscription. The
Louisville and Nashville Railroad sub
scribed $10,000. At the meeting of the Ex
ecutive Committe of the Board of Trade Be
lief Committee this afternoon the following
was adopted:
Resolved. In answer to numerous inquiries
from persons at home and abroad, the Board of
Trade Relief Committee announces that fur
ther liberal contributions from Louisville citi
zens and, corporations are greatly needed, and
are most earnestly requested. If tbe contribu
tions from our owp people are not sufficiontto
relieve the distress of sufferers by the storm,
the committee will appeal for assistance from
outside of the city aud State. Until then all
voluutary contributions of money will be ac
cepted and ued if needed.

The' total number killed by the tornado
here Thursday night is 93. This includes
John Schell, a saloon keeper, who died to

Barton, of Catlettsburg, is dead in the ruins.
So far about 150 badly injured have been
discovered.
A special from Henderson says tbe total
of killed in Webster county is 40, and of

Paducah, Kt., March 31. Alter leav
ing Metropolis, 111., the cyclone of lust
Thursday nieht seems to have headed di
rectly for Louisville, stopping, however, in
Ohio connty, Ky., to inflict special damage.
The loss of life was light com
pared with the 'amount of dam
age done, nine dead being the
extent 6 the list of the dead so far. At
Beda half a dozen houses were leveled and
a child of William Daniels killed. Tbe
greatest destruction was, however, along
Rough creek, a large stream that crosses
the county from east to west. Nearly all the
way the stream runs through high banks
with wide bottoms, and a high level
above it. The most substantial
larmers of the county live along the stream
and Hartford, the county seat, is on its
banks. Here the roof ot the Court House
and one end of the jail were blown away.
At Sulphur Springs the scboolhouse was
demolished and the wife and one child of
Hiram Snmmers killed. .The rain fell in
torrents and every small stream was soon
out ol its banks.
Now happened a strange thing. The
storm had torn down immense numbers of
fences and they had caught in the streams;
limbs of trees and other wreckage also
abounded. The waters ot the smaller
streams carried it all into Eough creek.
Soon the channel would choke until the
mighty pressure of waters thrust the dam
anart and pushed it further down. At last
the debris became too thick and strongly
matted together and formed an impregnable
dam at Bed Oak. It grew higher and
stronger until the waters were pushed on to
the surronndincr bottoms where they did im
mense damage, drowning live stock, carry
ing off fence' and ruining fields of wheat.
In attempting to cross the back water
John Jackson, Elihu Morgan, and a son of
the latter were drowned. Reports from
other parts of the counly add three to the
list of the dead, aud make the property loss
niauy thousands.
THE FLACK CASE.
Tho Father, Son nnd Referee Sentenced to a
Fine nnd Imprisonment A Stay
Granted Tho Deputy Sheriffs
Go Scott Free.
ItovYoKK, March 31. Judge Barrett
this morning sentenced Choate, tbe re
porter, to 30 days' imprisonment and to pay
a tine of $250. The Judge refused a new
trial in the Flack case, and sentenced ex
Sheriff Flack to pay a fine of $500 and to be
imprisoned in the county jail for two
months: Joseph Meeks, the referee, fined
$500 and to be imprisoned in the county jail
ior one month, and William L. Elack to a
fine of $500 and to be imprisoned in the
penitentiary for four months. A stay
of execution was granted by Judge Van
Brunt on the ground that the defendants'
case had been prejudiced by the presence of
the reporter. The stay will give them
their liberty until the decision of the appeal
to the general term on the bail of $7,600
each, which has been furnished.
Beputy Sheriffs Martin, Walsh and
Young, who had been indicted for bribery
in taking $700 from Charles G. Fraucklyn,
who was arrested at the instance of Sir
Bache Cunard in 1887, go scott lree. The
case came up on a demurrer to the indict
ments. Tbe Court held tbat the Sheriff is
not obliged to take a civil prisoner to jail,
but that he may at pleasure keep bim any
where within the county in custody.
It being admitted that the money had
been received for allowing Francklyn to go
about the city for bail, the Judge said that
the felony known as bribery could not bold.
as the money had not been taken for the
doing or omission ot an official act. He
therefore sustained the demurrers and freed
the defendants. He said the facts would
warrant the charge of misdemeanor under
the section of the civil code forbidding an
officer to take a gratuity, but the indictment
here charged bribery, which is a felony. As
the crime occurred more than two years ago
they cannot be indicted for a misdemeanor.

Considerable commotion was caused about 10

loud cries of "Stop thief." A man was seen
chasing another along that thoroughfare. A
crowd soon joined in tbe pursuit, but tbe pur
sued party darted into a convenient alleyway
and escaped. Tbe cause of all this excitement
was that William Lyons, a Breed street resi
dent, had discovered hi3 wife parading the
streets with another man.
The enraged husband placed the companion
of his wife under arrest and was taking bim to
the Twenty-eighth ward station, when the man,
who said his name was Davis, broke away from
bim aud managed to escape.

The City Property Committee, of Allegheny,
has risen to the situation, and has ordered that
tho big doors bo opened to let the public enjoy
the beautiful gift of Mr. Carnegie. Mr. Lare
last night offered a resolution opening the en
tire building to the public on week days, from
the hours of 8 o'clock in the morning till 5
o'clock in the afternoon, and from 7 o'clock
until 9 in the evening. In his remarks he took
strong ground against delay, and stated that
Councils had no right to withhold from the
public tho nse and enjoyment of public prop
erty, given to the city bv a practical man for
practical-uses. The objection was raised that
the public use of the building might soil it, bnt
Mr. Lare contended that the officers chosen by
the touuciN weie there to keep the building in
order, and might as well be at work. Mr. Ar
thur Kennedy opposed the plan with considera
ble vigor, fearing that the building would bo
overrun with an indiscriminate mob of cbil
dren. with nobody to watch them. Mr. Ken
nedys amendment, providing that the hours of
opening be from 8 o'clock in the morning to i
in the afternoon, was finally passed. The
building will therefore be open this mornin-.
Mr. Leonard Wales was authorized by the
committee to give a free organ recital, as an
experiment, next Saturday afternoon.

DOST WANT AN INCREASE.
Tho BrlekinnUers' New Mcnlo Will bo the
fnmo n the Present One.
The Knights of Labor brickmakers will not
demand an increase of 25 cents per day in 'all
union yards. This wa3 decided upon at the
meeting last nigh:. The new scale will be pre
sented this morning for signatures and it is not
at all likely that there will be any objection.
Tho followincis the scale decided upon:
Strikcrs-off, S2 50; wheelers, S2 0; molders,
$2 50; setters, 52 50: bankmen, S2 00; dumpers,
2 00, and sanders, SI 75 per day. These figures
are tbe same as the present scale and will take
effect to-day. It was reported at the meeting
that 25 yards in both cities are now organized
and there would be no trouble over the scale.
Tbe reason the 25 cents of an advance was not
put in the scale was on acrount ol the condi
tion of trade. Last year t.ie men received an
advance of 25 cents, and tbey were content to
let well enough alone.
ANOTHER UNION FACTORY.
President Smith Effects n Settlement tn
Chlcnco.
President W J. Smith, of the American Flint
Glassworkers' Union, returned home from
Chicago, where he satisfactorily settled the
trouble at tbat place. For over a year tho
Chicago Glass Company has been tryinp to run
its factory on a non-union basis. The experi
ment has been given up in disgnst and this
week tbe factory will start with all union
hands.
The inability to get competent workmen is
what compelled the company to effect a settle
ment and sign the union rules.
Not Belter Than the Old,
Under the head of "Better Than the Old
Scale," an item in the labor colnmn on Sunday
stated that tbe roller in the 23-inch mill at Car
negie's Homestead works would under the new
scale receive S7 75 per day, instead of 6 60. The
item erred in this direction, as there is no fixed
salary for rollers. The roller is atonnage man.
and under tbo new scale receives about 33 cents
per ton on a basis of 34 per ton on billets. The
old scale called for 42 cents per ton.
Three Hnndred I'onniU Per Day.
Alfred E. Hunt, President of tho Pittsburg
Reduction Company, stated yesterday that the
output of the plant would be increased to 300
pounds per day. It was reDorted that the ca
pacity of tbe works would be increased to 300
pounds per week, bnt this is incorrect.
The Thompson-Houston Getting There.
Hnghes & Gawthrop, of this city, have closed
a contract with the Pittsburg Plate Glass Com
pany, at Tarentum, Pa., for a 900 incandescent
electric light plant, of the Thompson-Houston
system. This plant will be completed in about
60 days.
To England On n Visit.
A car load of English miners, with their
wives and children, from California, up tbe
Monongahela river, started last evening for
England to make a short visit They have
been making money and are coming back to
America.
The Struggles of Life.
From the cradle to the grave life Is full of
struggles. Some struggle for riches, some for
pleasure, some for honor, and others struggle
10 regain that greatest of all blessings health;
and in their efforts they often resort to means
which place it farther out of their reach. Tbey
take drastic compounds, which shock the sys
tem, or violent minerals which poison by de
grees, thus the vital energies are weakened and
the fountains ot lifn polluted. Nature provides
remelies..and it is from tbo vegetable kingdom
that Dr. Tutt's Liver Pills derive their incredi
ents, ana there is tbe happy certainty that if
tbey do no good they do no harm. But of their
efficacy thousands who have been cured of
diseased liver, kidney?, spleen, stomach and
bowels live to-day to testify.
