Beware 0! the Knife. Mr. Lincoln Nelson, of Marslifield, Mo., writes: "I'or six years I liaye been a sufferer from a scrofulous affection of the glands of my neck, and all efforts of physicians in Washington, D. C, Springfield, 111., and St. Louis failed to reduce the enlargement. After six months' constant treatment here, my physician urged me to submit to a re moval of the gland. At this critical mo ment a friend recommended S.S.S., and laying aside a deep-rooted preju dice against all patent medicines, 1 be gan its use. Before I had used one bot tle the enlargement began to disappear, and now it is entirely gone, though I nm not through with my second bottle yet. Had I only used your S.S.S. long ago, I would have escaped years of misery and saved over $t$o." This experience is like that of all who suffer with deep-seated blood troubles. The doctors can do no good, and even their resorts to the knife prove either fruitless or fatal. S.S.S. is the only real blood remedy; it gets nt the root of the disease and forces it out perma nently. S.S.S. (guaranteed purely vegetable) A Real Blood Remedy is a blood remedy for real blood troubles; it cures the most obstinate cases of Scrofula, Eczema, Cancer, Rheumatism, etc., which other so-called blood reme dies fail to touch.

Washington, March 4. Secretary of the Navy Long Bald at the close of his day nt the department that no word had been received from the court of Inquiry and thnt no orders had been or would be given na to the movements of the court from Key West, as the court was fully authorized to shape Its own movements. The original orders to the court were Issued by Admiral Slcard, as commander of the fleet to which the Maine belonged, and It has the tech nical status of an admiral's court, re porting directly to him both as to Its movements and as to Its final report on tho cause of the disaster. The under standing here Is that the court has not concluded Its work, but will return to Havana to take testimony, which has been delayed by the dllllcUltles In the way of the divers. That Admiral Sl card expects this movement back to Havana was shown by a dispatch from him a few days ago suggesting that ar rangements be made for a vessel to take the court back. Arrangements are being made for the trip of the cruiser Montgomery and gunboat Nashville to Cuban ports with relief supplies. The navy department was advised yesterday that the Mal lory line steamer, leaving New York tomorrow, would carry free of charge 75 tons of supplies to be transferred to the Montgomery and Nashville at Key West. The two war ships are poorly adapted for carrying supplies, having Bcant quarters for their own supplies. It Is only because they can make the run In daylight that any attempt Is made to carry the 75 tons of supplies. The relief measures are proving un expectedly successful, the supplies run ning Into the carloads and hundred of Vms. Tne state department has had notice from the Cuban relief committee at New York that there were shipped on March 1 from New York to Santiago 10,0,000 pounds of relief supplies; on the 2d, to Havana, 75,000 pounds; yester day, to Matanzas, 100,000 pounds, and to Sangua La Grande, 100,000 pounds. In these shipments are 500,000 grains of quinine consigned to each of the ports except Havana, Chnlrmman Barton, of the central Cuban relief committee, has advised the state department that "Donations are coming forward In great abund ance, not only money, but more par ticularly In the form of provisions, from all directions. The Oregon com mittee promises ten car loads, and pos sibly 20, and Omaha, Minneapolis and other western committees are offering shipments by the car load. We have upon the pier of the Manson line nearly 100 tons ready for their steamer, which they had kindly offered to take to Ma tanzas and Sagua." The Maine relief fund, under Mrs Long's management, yesterday reached a total of $3,113. The only telegram relating to the Maine disaster that came to the navy department during the day was the following from Commander Forsyth at Key West: "Dache arrived. Brought one body, unidentified, and Paul Leoftus, private marine; Jeremiah Shea, coal passer; John Heffner, ordinary seaman; Thomas J. Waters, ordinary seaman, wounded, from Tortugas. The wounded were sent to the Army hospital." In the course of the Inquiry Into the naval resources of the United States an order has been Issued to make a test of the machinery of the old war monitors at the League Island navy yard. These are single turreted craft, that are armed with big smooth bore guns In turrets that could likely be pierced by modern high powered rifles on the battleships, but they would still be of service In an emergency. There are eight of these monitors at League Island and tho government owns sev eral others that are now loaned to the naval militia organizations of some of the states. AN OFFICKH'S LAPSUS LINGUJT2. Says tho Invostlirutors Must Not Do- pond on lllvoi'H ToMtlniony Alono. Havana, March 4. A naval officer here, in reply to a suggestion that It was a pity such an Important decision as the verdict of the court of inquiry into the Maine explosion should rest solely upon the testimony of divers, who seemed men of only average In telligence, replied: "The court of In quiry has not had to depend upon divers' testimony alone." Then, re alizing that he had said more than he Intended, the officer resumed his habit ual reserve. It Is believed that the tes tlmonjf of Lieutenant Commander Wainwrlght was highly Important as bearing on the question of the exist ence of submarlno mines. If the Spanish court of Inquiry under Captain Peral has a definite plan of action, which seems doubtful, It has not been made public. The Spanish divers will, of course, report the results ol their observations to the Spanish court of Inquiry, but when or where has not been made known. Senator Proctor lias seen much in a short time, and there Is good authority for saying that he will make the re sults of his observations known In a strong speech In the senate on his re turn to Washlncton, At Matanzas Miss Barton and Senator Proctor, un der tho milrtance of United States Pnn sul Brlce and Mr. Govas, the Brltlsii Vice Consul, saw extremes of suffer lng they had never conceived possible. Four persons died In one ward while the party was there. Senator Proctor was reticent on tht subject, but otheis of the party d clared that the whole east of the Isl and was under the control of General Maximo Gomez. Senator Proctor, how ever, went so 'far as to say to tho cor respondent; "Certainly a peculiar state of af fairs exists. A resident of Matanzaf told me that If I wlBhed to correspond with General Gomez he would send my letter to him and have an answer back In a short time." Don't Tobacco Sptt and Smoke Your ijf j Away.

The schoon er Speedwell, Captain Collier, from Marco, Fla,, for Key West, was struoc by a squall yesterday while off Marque sas. IS miles from hero, and' capsiaed. Nine persons were drowned out of l: all told on board. Among the victims were the three children of Captain Cni lter. Georce, Tom and "Wilbur, aged respectively I, G and 8 years, and tin entire Nichols family, Bradley N'lchols and his wife, their son and the latter'x wife and two children. The family was from Bridgeport, Conn. Those saved are Captain Collier, Samuel Gates nnd Jesse Green, deck hands, and It. W. Bates, of Myers, Fla., a passen cer. The Nichols family Is saltl to have been well to do. All had been gtaylns for a month or two at a small hotel kept by Captain Collier, at Marco, and they were on their way home. The survivors say the Speedwe'' which was a small vessel of about 25 tons, was making slow headway yes terday morning ngnlnst a hea'd wind. About 7 o'clock Captain Collier was at tho wheel and tho Nichols family and the Collier children were In the cabin asleep. Suddenly a squall tamo howl ing up abeam. Gates and Green rushed to take In sail. As the Jib Happed loose tho squall caught the schooner and blew her clean over on the port side. Collier, tho deckhands and Mr. Bates were swept Into the seething sea, but caught the rigging just In timt to save themselves. The wind, rain and surges drowned tho dying crlas of the Imprisoned Nichols family and the Collier children. The men lashed themselves to the rigging. After belntr there for two hours the sea subsided. Then they got the dingy loose, baled her out with a hat. broke a thwart in two pieces, an 1 with these for oars rowed toward Mar quesas. After going three miles they were picked up exhausted by a fishing sloop and brought here about 4 o'clock yesterday afternoon. Samuel Gates, one of the survivors, who was seen at his home here last night, said: "Captain Collier has been sailing now for 25 years In these waters. He Is not to blame for this awful thing. The Bquall came up liko nothing I have ever seen around Key West. Before we knew It we were lifted off our feet and In the water, and as for these poor peo ple down below, they were penned In like rats. The wife of the younger Nichols, as pretty a woman as ever stepped aboard a ship, rose to the sky light. I was clinging to the rigging. She waved her hand at me, and that's the last I saw of her. When we got off, two hours later, they were all dead. "Old Mr. Nichols was the only one to get out of the cabin. I guess he was washed out, for, after young Mrs. Nich ols waved her hand at me, I saw what I thought was the coat of old Mr. Nichols floating by. Then I saw his hand, and I knew It was not only a coat. We did not see a thing of the children, or hear a cry. We had to bale with the hat all the time we were In the dingy and often came near being swamped." Soon after being brought Into port Captain Collier and Jesse Green went out on the yacht Buccaneer, accom panied by a diver, to recover the bod ies. At tho Homo of tho Nichols Family. Bridgeport, Conn., March 4. Tho news received lost night from Kev West of the capsizing of the schooner Speedwell and the drowning of mem bers of the Bradley Nichols family, of this city, was the first knowledge re ceived here of the sad accident. Brad ley Nichols was one of the most promi nent real estate dealers In this city, and was very wealthy. His son War ren, who was also drowned, was asso ciated with him in business. The wife of the young Mr. Nichols was the daughter of Prosecuting Attorney Gli dings, of this city.

If the stomach is right and the liver is riKht. the blood will receive its normal supply of the life-giving elements of the food and the body will be properly nourished Dr Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery acts directly upon the stumach and liver. It purifies and enriches the blood. It is the great blood-maker, flesh-builder, nerve tonic and restorative. It promotes the natural activity of the en tire nutritive organism. It puts an end to the slow starvation that is at the base of many diseases. It does not make flabby fat like cod liver oil, but firm, muscular tissues. It does not make corpulent peo ple more corpulent but builds up the sys tem to the normal standard. " I was run down with nervous prostration and female weakness and kidney trouble," writes Mrs. Maraiuta Kamsey, of Smartt, Warren Co., Tcnn. "My bowels were constipated. My whole system was wrecked. My friends thought I wouH ille. I had read of Dr. Pierce's medi cines and sent for the ' Golden Medical Dicov ery,' ' Favorite Prescription ' aud ' Pleasant Pel lets ' In one week's time I began to sit up. In two weeks I could sit up all day, after being so bad that I had to be helped ill and out of bed. I have taken four bottles of 1 Golden Medical Dis covery 1 and two of ' Pavorite Prescription and am in better health than I have been for years." Constipation is the father of all manner of maladies. If it did not exist, or was in all cases promptly relieved, the majority of medical books could be safely destroyed. It is the easiest sickness to neglect and the simplest to cure. Dr. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets cure constipation every time. They cure it promptly, completely and perma nently. They never gripe. They don't get you out 'o nights. One "Pellet" is a gentle laxative, and two a mild cathartic. Druggists keep nothing else "just as good." 1 WHEN IN DOUBT.
