Tins resignation of Dr. Lyman

New York, on account of the na

The Outlook, of which he has for
twenty years been editor-in chief.
In New York there is quite an agi

requirement, of "pure beer." Kven
the cold water adherents should favor
a law of that sort. Commenting
upon the subject the New York Sun
says that if "certain brewers would
pay less attention to the science of
government and more attention to
the art of making beer out of hops,
they will secure greater niatorial
prosperity and more enduring peace
of mind."

"editor" of the Republican, and

Symptoms thai scent like consumption ; a lack of

suggestion.
to health
Many girls ol sixteen years seem to
have consumption, although they have it
not.
Their anxious parents and friends watch
them slowly lade away.
A death-like pallor, transparent com
plexion and listlcssness are signs of this
condition.
The body lacks blood.
Mrs. John Tanscy knows the meaning
of these symptoms, and the cure.
She lives at 130 Baker Street, Detroit,
Mich.
Her advice to mothers has been of great
value to her neighbors. She tells the story
to help others who arc at a distance
She said:
"When my daughter was sixteen years
old she began to watc away.
"Had I not known there was no taint of
consumption in the family I would have
believed her lungs were alfectcd.
"She grew thinner and thinner every day.
She lacked only the hacking cough to show
all the outward signs of consumption.
"Our doctor called the disease by an odd
name, which I learned meant simply weak
blood.
"No treatment seemed to do her any good.
"She was fading away before our eyes.
"I was induced to try Dr. Williams' Pink
Pills for Pale People, and the change they
made was almost magical.
" Before she had taken half a box there
was a great improvement in her looks, ap
petite and weight.

New York, Dec. 10. It. G. Dun &
Co.'s weekly review of trade says: The
most plgnillcant thing this week has
been the entile absence of the custom
ary nervous fright liefme or after the
meeting of congress, the president's
message and the treasurer's report. No
one showed the least alarm, and no
body could find occasion for any. Money
and stock and grain markets moved
on exactly ns If the government were
automatic, certain tn do or say no more
than the people had already decided
and expected, and so the gradual bet
terment since October continues. There
Is a larger demand for products In
nearly all the great Industries, larger
export (liei.ind for foreign needs, a
more ln-u'ihy domestic demand sine
seasonable weather arrived, and a
comforting conviction that November
business, the biggest ever done In this
country In one month, was but a step
toward something better.
Hradstreet's review says: Business
conditions continue of a most encour
aging character. A very satisfactory
feature, and one full of encouragement
to all wholesale lines of trade, Is the
activity shown In retail trade In nearly
all markets. Reports received as to
the holiday trade proper, too, point to
the present year as constituting a
record maker In this respect. Tho Im
portance of the early arrival of real
winter weather to the letall distrib
uting of heavy clothing and similar
seasonable goods can hardly be over
estimated. In the wider domain of
general trade and Industry perhaps the
most notable feature has Ikvii the con
tinued activity at advancing prices
shown tor most classes of Iron and
steel, but particularly pig Iron and steel
billets. So pronounced hus this demand
become since the jilai ing of the first
large rail orders that what Is ordinari
ly regarded rh a dull period In this
Industry has given place to exceptional
activity, and the stimulating effect al
ready Imparted to valm- seems likely
to be added to rather than diminished,
so far ns thu outlook for the coming
year can at present be foreshadowed.

DEADLY EXPLOSION OF POWDER.
Three Men Killed mid T.lglit Injured

Wilmington, Del., Dec. 10. Three men
were killed and eight Injured more or
less seriously by the explosion of a
press mill and four grinding mills In
the llagley yard of the Dupont i'owuer
works yesterday. The killed were:
ltobert Jlclllhenny, about 45 years old,
leaves a widow and four children; John
Wright, about 50 years old, leaves a
widow; John .Moore, 40 years old, leaves
a widow and live hlldren. The bodies
of Melllheiiny and Wright were blown
to piee-.-. The force of the explosion
carried portions of tho bodies across
the Hrandywlne. a distance of 50 or 100
yards from the mill. Some time after
wards the mangled remains were gath
ered together In buckets, Moore, who
was employed as a carpenter in tne
yard, was within a few feet of the
press mill. The hack or his neaa wua
crushed, and he died at his home with
out regaining consciousness.
The explosion occurred in tne presa
room or tne nagiey, or mnui
works. A carload of powder mat wus
being wheeled Into the room was ac

"Since then I have kept Dr. Williams'
Pink Pills for Pale People in the house al
ways and have done much good with them.
One example t
"There is a young girl friend of my
daughter who seemed almost transparent.
" She was white and very thin. We were
afraid she would fall dead in the street
when she went out.
"I begged her to take Dr. Williams' Pink
Pills for Pale People and finally induced
her to try them. They helped her won
derfully, probably saved her life and re
stored her to perfect health. Now she is
recommending them to other young women.
"I earnestly advise mothers with grow
ing daughters to keep Dr. Williams' Pink
Pills always on hand as a household remedy.
Many women's lives are miserable be
cause such symptoms as Mrs. Tansey's
daughter showed were neglected while they
were developing into womanhood. During
that period of rapid development the blood
needs the highest degree of strength to re
pair the tissues that are rapidly wasted.
These needed elements are supplied by
Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People.
The vegetable ingredients of these pills act
like magic in restoring strength to the mus
cles and roses to the cheeks of growing girls
or adults weakened by overwork.
All druggists sell Dr. Williams' Pink Pills

Ilnvatia, Dec. 10. The first United
(States troops to inarch through thu
streets of Havana will be the Two
Hundred and Second New York regi
ment, which, with band playing and
colors Hying, will march tomorrow from
the Sun Jose wharf, after landing theie
from the transport Mltmewnska,
through the heart of Havana to the
Western railroad station. The line of
march will be through the l'rado and
Centinl park. These troops will bo
sent to 1'liiar del Hlo province.
General Davis, with the general
headquarters staff and one battalion,
will be at 1'lnar del Itlo city, the regi
mental headquarters, and the Second
battalion v III be at Ouanajay. The
Third battalion will be stationed at
Marlel. nnd the Hlgglns Signal com
pany will be quartered at the city of
Plnar del Itlo.
The troops remained on board the
Mlnnewaska Inst night, but were land
ed today. Ceneral Davis and his staff
lauded at noon yesterday and reported
to General Wade. He breakfnsted with
General Greene.
No objection has been made so far
by Geneial Castellanes to the march
through the city. The plan at first
was to march today, but the Western
Hallway company has not rolling stock
"iiougn to move tho regiment, with the
mule trains nnd baggage and stores
Ml all 87 carloads at one time, so that
the baggage and teamsters were sent
today and the regiment will go to
morrow. It Is Intended that the first appear
ance of Tithed States troops In Ha
vana shall have an Impressive moral
erfect upon the Cubans. Yesterdny a
number of Spanish soldiers gathered In
the vicinity of San Jose wharf to get
a look at their late adversaries. Friend
ly gestutes were made on both sides.
The Spaniards commented upon tho
latge size of the American men.
The regiment will take 40 days' ra
tions. Camp sites have been selected,
but nn work has been done on them,
and the men will have to make their
own camps.
Until further notice General Davis
will exercise the functions of military
governor of the province of Plnar del
Rio. now completely evacuated. The
oath of allegiance will be administered
to the mayors of the towns and other
civic olllelals. The existing authori
ties are to be continued, with molli
fications to suit future conditions. Gen
eral Davis has had a conference with
General Wnde, who acquainted him In
part with the Instructions the latter
had received from Washington.
A pi ess correspondent called the at
tention of General Davis to the fact
that he would find Cubnn troops occu
pying l'lncr del Hlo city, and asked
hii i hat he should do.
"The authority of the United States
inurt be tecngnlzed an paramount," he j
leplled. "but 1 can see no reason why
the Cuban troops may not remain or
ganized as mllltla companies, though
naturally, when the necessity for their
n malnlng in arms shall have passed,
I siipoi.se f"v will disband. I have
no appicheMslon of trouble."
General Davis said he did not Intend
to dlsaim the Cubans or to Interfere
with them unless that should be neces
sary to preserve order.
Captain Helllngs. of the signal corps,
reported to the United States evacua
tion commissioners that under orders
(mm the war department he would
take charge of the telegraph lines upon
the Spnnlsh retirement. The Spanish
commissioners, un learning of his as
signment, Issued orders that he be
given every opportunity to familiarize
himself with the lines.
The United States evacuation com
missioners have turned over to Gen

for police appointments. General
Greene will await the arrival of Mr.

THE SIX DAY CYCLISTS.
Miller, Last Year's Winner, Sooms
Stiro ol Another Victory.
New York, Dec. 10. A large crowd
thronged Madison Square Garden all
day yesterday, and at midnight thou
sands of enthusiasts remained to cheer
on the Jaded riders In the six day bicy
cle race. Hefore midnight Miller had
beaten the world's record made by him
self a year ago, and his friends believe
that he will be able to remain ahead of
his own record until the race Is ended.
Ills condition seems remarknlily good,
as does Waller's. Miller, however, has
such a good lead that unless he should
weaken or meet with an accident he Is
a sure winner. Pierce was almost 21
miles behind Waller at midnight, and
looked very tlrufl. Should anything hap
pen to Miller Waller will probably be
the winner. If Miller can keep up the
advantage he lias gained over last year's
record until the end of the race tonight
he will earn a bonus of $200.
The scores nt 2 a. m. were: Miller,

Washington, Dec. 10. The navy de
partment has received a cablegram
from Admiral Dewey summarizing the
existing conditions nt Manila and such
points In the Philippines as hayc been
visited by his officers. Advices also
have been received from aenernl Otis,
the commnndant of the United Stntes
military forces In the Islands, and they
both go to show a notable Improvement
In conditions nnd the growth of a better
spirit among those factions of the na
tives which promised to give trouble.
This fnct Is particularly gratifying, ns
the United States government Is al
ready giving consideration to the best
means at hand to redeem the pledge It
will be placed under by the treaty of
Paris to secure the release of the Span
ish prisoners held by the Philippine na
tives. There nre about 500 clerical prisoners,
and tho government Is confident that
their cantors will deliver them upon
proper representations from General
Otis and Admiral Dewey, made possible
through Consul Wlldman. It may be
necessary to call the navy Into service
In this matter," for the reason that some
of the prisoners are held In captivity
on other Islands than Luzon, which can
be reached liest and most effectively by
Admiral Dewey's ships. Desldcs these
clerical prisoners the Americans them
selves hold nearly 15,000 Spanish sol
diers ns prisoners, men captured at
the fall of Manila. These are actually
on parole about the city, and the ques
tion Is how they aro to bo returned to
Spain. This must be settled by the
peace commissioners at Paris.
