THE XOENXSTG- OEEGOSXAIT, 3SOSDAT, JAftTAUT 14. 1895.' A PLEASffiG MAJORITY MINISTERS DELIGHTED "WITH THE REICHSTAG VOTE. General Conviction Tlmt the Govern ment "Will Carry the Main Para graphs ot the Antl-Soclalist Bill. BERLIN, Jan. 13. The majority -which referred the anti-socialist bill to the com mute yesterday was large enough to de light the ministers. It consisted mainly of national liberals and conservatives, against whom were arrayed the social democrats. South German democrats, radi cals, and a few Guelphs and independents. The emperor was much pleased with the result of the first reading, although it gives no guarantee of the future of the bilL He congratulated Chancellor Prince Hohenlohe, and commended highly Gen eral Brosart von ScheelendorfTs ag gressive speech. His majesty is said to have heard with his own ears how his war minister defied and reproached the socialists. He is supposed to have sat in the recess of the imperial box, where, un seen by the members, he could hear all that was said in the debate. The social democrats have revived from the inactiv ity of previous weeks, and have mobilized all their forces against the bill. Friday evening they held meetings to protest in every district of Berlin. Ignase Auer, Au gust Betel, Paul Singer, William Lleb knecht and several other deputies made speeches. Most of them seemed to expect defeat. They warned their adherents to prepare for the era of repression to be Inaugurated upon the passage of the bill. They advised all to destroy all letters, lists, accounts of propcedings and plans of agitation which have been collecting in socialist societies since the expiration of the Bismarckian laws, and thus make ready to face without fear the house re searches and espionage of the police. In Hamburg similar meetings have been held. Both there and in Berlin the meet ings were remarkable for the number of jtomen present. Conversations in the lob bies of the reichstag after yesterday's sitting revealed a general conviction that the government would carry the main paragraphs of the bill. The clericals will modify a few provisions in committee, but will not change the measure materially. The social-democratic leaders were espe cially loud in their declarations that an amended bill would surely pass. The cler icals have obtained priority for the de bate on their bill for the return of the Jesuits. The bill will pass its first reading Wednesday. , In court and diplomatic circles, there is a firm conviction that many changes in German embassies are imminent. Count lluenster, the ambassador to France, will arrive here tomorrow. He comes osten sibly to attend the Chapter of the Black Eagle, but really to ccnsult Emperor William as to the increasing difficulties of his post in Paris. He has many com plaints to make of the virulent abuse heaped upon him by the Paris press, es pecially since the arrest of Dreyfus. Count Herbert Bismarck has come into favor on the wave of lory reform and is expected to replace Count Philip Zu Eulenberg in Vienna, in case he should not enter the cabinet. Count Philip Is named to succeed Freiheir von Marschall in the foreign office, and the latter may go to London to relieve Count Hatzfoldt, whose health is in the frail condition usually preceding an official retirement. What does this general upset mean? The question Is discussed with much anxiety in the diplomatic corps, but no positive answer has been given. Herbert Bis marck's appointment to the Vienna em bassy will be due partly to a desire to please the old chancellor. It would imply a revival of a more militant policy In the triple alliance, which the emperor thinks did not occupy room enough in diplomatic calculations during Caprivl's regime. Al tKBtigimd whlspcrTrad been heard regard ing the withdrawal of the Paris ambassa-' dor. the emperor is known to be in bad humor, owing to M. Hanotaux's laxity in dealing with the newspapers which libeled the German embassy. The Dreyfus scan dal has already caused the retirement of Rlssman. the Italian ambasador, from Paris, who felt that he could no longer endure the Insults which French editors flung at him and his government through out the last spy campaign. In leaving the Paris embassy vacant. Crispi Is known to have acted with the explicit approval of Chancellor Prince Hohenlohe. There is every reason to believe that the chancel lor will not be less eager to resent the treatment accorded by Paris editors to Muenster. The press correspondents made repeated inquiries this week as to the possibility of a tariff war between the United States and Germany, but have found everybody In official circles absolutely dumb on the subject, although two or three weeks ago the matter was discussed with little con straint. Frelherr von Hammerstein. the agrarian leader, was asked what Ger many would do if the United States took an unfriendly course. He answered: "We should retaliate by shutting out American cereals and woods, and should look up new outlets for our merchandise. Doubtless for a time German industries would suffer, but new markets are always found when sought. Anyhow, we cannot submit tb bullying, especially when we have the absolute right on our side." Deputy Aichbelcher, vice-chairman of the clerical party and the owner of a large estate in Bavaria, said decidedly: "We do not want any American 'grain, anyhow. If the United States insists upon violating its treaty with us, we shall pro tect ourselves by shutting out grain now. The German farmer cannot raise stock and grow wheat at profit under present circumstances." Chancellor Hohenlohe left Berlin this morning for Freiderlchsruh to visit Prince Bismarck. He was accompanied by Count Herbert Bismarck and Prince Alexander von Hohenlohe-Schllllngfurst, his young est son. Dr. Kayser. director of the colo nial department, who some time ago planned to be one of the party, left the city Friday and at noon, appeared at the Frlederlchsruh section with Prince Bis marck to welcome the other guests. The greetings between the chancellor and Bis marck were very cordial. The Koelnlsche Zeltung said this morning of Hohenlohe's pilgrimage to Friedrichsruh: "The visit is in harmony with the just desires of all patriotic Germans, for the estrangement of the founder of the em pire and the leading men in Berlin has long spoiled all pleasure in political co operation lor many good Germans." The court came in from Potsdam Thurs day. The emperor, accompanied by one aide-de-camp, rode in a sleigh, covering the 21 miles In about two hours. The court functions and the most noteworthy social gaieties will be crowded into a month or live weeks, and the emperor will begin a visiting tour toward the end of February. The empress will go to Eng land to see her mother, and the emperor and the Imperial princes will return to the new palace. Count von Moltke. who went to Freid richsruh last week In behalf of the em peror, took several hampers of flowers, which wore to be placed round the por trait of the Princess Bismarck, and a copy of the emperor's naval lecture, ac companied with most of the emperor's sketches of coast defenses and warships. CAULED FROJ1 LOXDOX. A "WaralnKT From the- Xntionnl Lib eral Federation. LONDON, Jan. 13. The annual report of National Liberal Federation was given out yesterday. It contains this statement regarding the issues In the next election: "Unless a bill be passed before the gen eral election, abolishing plural voting and shortening the period of qualification to three months, grave reverses await the liberals In the election which Is to de termine whether the lords shall longer override the commons." The News correspondent in Vienna says the triDle-a.lILa.nce treatla will ptvI in 1SSS. and negotiations for its renewal will be carried on this year. Italy wishes to have her military obligations lightened, and doubtless her wishes will be granted. Emperor William will meet King Hum bert in the spring or autumn, when the arrangement will be made. It is almost certain that the czar, Emperor William and Emperor Franz Joseph will meet this year. The Chronicle says: "It is regrettable to find that the sugar trust has friends in President Cleveland's cabinet, but it can not be wondered at when Attorney-General Olney refuses to set in motion the Morgan trust law. The almighty dollar appears to be still a much more formida ble potential than the president." A dispatch from Cairo to the News says the dervishes attacked the Egyptian out posts, 100 miles west of Wadyhalfa yes terday, several Egyptians being killed. The camel corps, under Captain Tread way is purusing the dervishes. OTHER FOREIGN" NEWS. XotcH From Pari. PARIS. Jan. 13. M. Barthou's retire ment is the result of an adverse vote in the cabinet on a matter in his own de partment. He decided recently that the Southern and the Orleans Railway com panies must indicate on their bonds that the government's guarantee of the in terest would terminate in 1914. Both com panies appealed from this decision and the ministry supported the appeal. President Guichard, of the Suez canal board, started from Marseilles for Cairo yesterday to lay before the khedive a proposition to rename the canal after its constructor, the late Count Ferdinand de Lesseps. Crispi Among Hl Friends. ROME, Jan. 13. Premier Crispi arrived here this morning. He left Naples for Rome last evening, four hours after his daughter's marriage. Crowds surrounded the Naples railway station and cheered him incessantly, from the moment his carriage came In sight until his train de parted. Three hundred popular societies In Naples presented to the premier ad dresses of confidence. In Piedmont many Crispi meetings were held today, and some 20 deputies spoke in defense of the pre mier. All the speakers censured Giollttl for having manufactured a scandal for the scle purpose of ruining Crispi politi cally. RuHsia's Xew Year's Day. ST. PETERSBURG. Jan. 13.

BROOKLYN, N.Y., Jan. 13. At a meeting of the board of the District As sembly Knights of Labor tonight. Master Workman Connelly gave out the brief statement that the employes of all the street railways In Brooklyn, with the ex ception of the Smith & Jay line, would strike tomorrow morning. In ex planation he said President Slocum, of the latter line, had agreed to accept the terms as proposed by the men. Pre vious to the meeting Connelly said that in the early evening 1000 electric-workers, employed by the various companies, had been asked by the officials, if, in the event of a strike, they would take the places of the motormen and conductors, and that they had refused. Thereupon they were told there was no further work for them. As the conductors and motor men of the various lines came in tonight for the final trip of the day, they made the usual inquiry as to what car they should take out next morning. They were told they would be required to take none, as no schedule had been arranged. This is looked on as indicating a lockout. The Homestead St eel worker. HOMESTEAD, Pa., Jan. 13. A meeting of the steelworkers was held today and the question of organization discussed. All newspaper men were asked to with draw, which they did. An attempt to re move Thomas Graham, who is an agi tator as well as a reporter, led to a con siderable stir. He was finally permitted to remain. Several speeches were made. President M. M. Garland, of the Amal gamated Association of Iron and Steel workers, explained the benefits of his or ganization, and said he was willing to or ganize them at any time. A motion was adopted to organize, and a great commo tion occurred. It was finally decided to postpone any such action. The meeting then adjourned, to meet next Sunday. The sentiment was evidently In favor of organization. Want Bread for Their Families. DUBOIS. Pa.. Jan. 13. The prospects for a speedy settlement of the coalmlners' strike are apparently very good. The men are willing to work on short time If their comrades, who were recently discharged, are taken back. They say they will make this concession in order to keep the famil ies of the idle miners from starving. Mr. Elliot, the general manager for Lewis, Bell & Yates, the owners of the mines in which the strike is on, has gone to Buffalo to lay the proposition from the men before the members of the firm. He is expected back tomorrow, and upon the reply he will bring depends the immediate outcome of the strike. The strikers say they are willing to make any reasonable compromise that will give all of them at least enough to provide bread for their families. THE PARACOA IN PORT. Yacht LnRonila'a AHckciI Associate Xoiv at Jacksonville. JACKSONVILLE, Fla.. Jan. 13. This morning there steamed up the bay a small ship that turned out to be the Norwegian ship Paracoa. which sailed from Boston about a week ago. This is the mysterious unknown vessel associated with the yacht Lagonda. detained by customs officers here yesterday and suspected, because of rifles and cutlasses being aboard. Cap tain' Clausen says his Instructions from Mr. Borden, the charter owner, had been to proceed from Boston to Fernandlna and to load with 500 tons of merchandise for West Indian ports. He had received 4K In advance for his services. It trans pired today that Borden shipped the day before Christmas, via the Mallory line, IK) large and small cases, supposed to con tain arms and ammunition. All that can be found of the 150 cases are the few on the Lagonda, now In charge of the United States deputy marshals. The river will probably be dragged for the missing cases. The Lagonda was seized under the neutrality laws. They Find TMs I Necessary in. Order to Prevent the Intrijrae ot 5 Chinese Officials. LONDON, Jan. 13. The Times has this dispatch from ItsTlen-Tsin correspondent: Tha Manchuria princes have taken the de fense of the country into their own hands. The Intrigues of the Chinese officials aim to thwart them; hence a conflict that paralyzes the executive power. LI Hung Chang, though relieved of all functions, except that of governor of the province, still indirectly Influences the officials. Chinese arriving from Manchuria report that the country between the rivers Yalu and Liao-Ho Is desolate. No houses are standing. The timber has teen burned and towns and villages, erstwhile popu lous, are without a vestige of life. Only scattered groups of frozen corpses are seen. Food and fuel cannot be gotten. The wounded suffer terribly. The move ments of troops on both sides are hindered by the exhaustion of the sup plies which the country people at first supplied through fear. The stragglers from the Chinese army, who have taken refuge in the hills and forests, have become savages, lost to all human feeling. The Armies in the Field. LONDON, Jan. 13. The Central New3 correspondent In Tokio quotes a dispatch, dated at Hai Chang, yesterday, from Lieutenant-General Katsura, who repre sents that one portion of General Swig's army left Yong Kow January S for Kai Ping, and another portion marched in the direction of Hai Chang. The enemy's main force retreated January 10 to Ku Ho Hee. The Japanese cavalry Is now scout ing for the Chinese. Dating his dispatch at Kai Ping, yes terday, General Nogi reports that his scouts say General Fing, with some 10,000 Chinese, Is in the vicinity of Tsalcho. Other Japanese commanders report a large force of Chinese in the vicinity of Yelg Kow and Lao Ya Ten. General Nich, while escaping In a car riage, January 10, passed within 50 metres of the Japanese, who killed his horses, wounded him and nearly made him a prisoner. The Chinese peace envoy, Chang Tin Ho on, arrived in Shanghai this evening with a suite of 56. The Cantonese oppose his going to Japan and declare In their placards that he will disgrace China. A Declaration From Russia. ST. PETERSBURG, Jan. 13. The Novoe Vremya says today, in a leader on the Eastern war: "If the friendly and peaceful representa tions of Russia's diplomacy be not con sidered, she will be compelled to support her claims on Corea with force of arms." MORE .MAIL ADVICES. The Reform Programme of the Co rcan Government. WASHINGTON. Jan. 13. Late newspa per advices received at the Japanese lega tion are to the effect that the reform programme presented to the Corean gov ernment by the Japanese is making sat isfactory progress. This programme, ac cording to the Klgl newspaper, was pre sented to the king of Corea, November 20, and was approved by him. The proposi tions included, among others, the follow ing: That the administrative power should center in the hands of one man; court affairs should be distinctly separate from the general administration of the coun trythe court and state affairs having hitherto been mixed up; a sovereign is bound to obey the laws of his own coun try; the court should be systematically organized; the functions and competence of the cabinet and the various depart ments of state should be determined; taxes should be unified by the finance de partment; a military system should be established, and after this has been placed on a sound footing, the adoption of a navy is expected; useless extravagant dis plays to be done away with, it being a standing fault In Corea, from the court to the lowest office, to Indulge in unnec essary display and useless ceremonials; a criminal code should be enacted; the police authorities should be unified; the discipline of government functionaries should be rigidly enforced and any such practice as that in vogue of selling gov ernment office must be abolished. The authority of local officials should be lim ited by statute and the power centralized; appointment or dismissal of government officials should be arranged according to fixed systems; promising youths should be sent to study in Japan; the unification of the national policy is requisite in order to establish the independence of the country on a sound basis and effectively to reform home affairs. The Tai Won Kun. until recently the aged regent of Corea, and who was de posed for sending letters to the Chinese generals in Pfyong Yang, has apologized to the Japanese representative and de clared, by way of showing his repentence, that he would not take any further part in the active politics of the country. A difficulty at present on the horizon of Corean politics is said to be the insatiable ambition of the queen to interfere in state affairs. Obliged to curb her ambi tion while her inveterate enemy, the Tai Won Kun, was at the head of the admin istration, she is now watching an oppor tunity to regain her former position, and such an opportunity has presented itself in the gradual wane of the old statesman's power and his ultimate retirement. A correspondent describes the Intense distress that the Japanese army is labor ing under in the province of Shin. King, China. The army of over 30,00, the corre spondent says, is almost on the point of starvation, thirst and cold is intense, and there is r.o wood to cook their rice with or water to drink. Many have been frozen to death from their inability to face the cold and insufficiency of food and cloth ing, the greater number, of these being coolies. The Tons Hak Insurrection. LONDON. Jan. 13. The Toklo corre spondent of the Central News says: In a dispatch from Fusan. Captain Taku bakan yesterday reported thaf the Tong Hak insurrection in Junt Sen Do has been suppressed. A captured spy declared that the insurgents would prove the sincerity of their surrender by beheading their principal chiefs and 40 others. The cap tain and the Corean authorities examined the Tong Hak prisoners, who declared that divisions had occurred among them, when the Japanese sailors and Corean soldiers attacked them and completely terrified them. Electricity for Canals. Probably for the reason that heir coun try has one of the largest and finest canal systems in the world Frenchmen are tak ing great interest in the application of electrical power to canal operations. More attempts have been made to run canal boats electrically in France than any where else, and one hears of new experi ments and trials almost every month. The latest attempt in this direction has been the application of what Is known as the Boyet system to the fifth reach of the St. Donls canal. A series electric motor on the canal-boat revolved the towing chain that Is picked up from the bottom of the canal and is given a three-quarter turn around the pulley-drum. In this respect the electric motor took the place of the steam engine used on the canal-boat to operate the drum and chain mechanism. A two-wire circuit running along the bank of the canal was connected to and took current from a generator share. Along this circuit ran two trrifeyg connected to the canal-boat motor 'by flexible cable, which came aboard over ft, rolling guide at the top of the mast ef the boat. The trial was quite successful,- a 390-ton barge moving along at the speed of two or three miles an hour at an expenditure of about three horse-power. Motloa began without jar and was easily kept up. m BILL COOK GAPTUREP. The Notorious OUlamoha Oatlavr Ran to Earth in New Mexico. SANTA FE, N. M., Jan. 13. United States Marshal Hall today received a dis patch from Sheriff C. Or Perry, of Chaves county, who yesterday captured BUI Cook, the notorious outlaw of Oklahoma, stat ing that the prisoner had been safely landed In jail at Roswell this forenoon. The outlaw's capture was effected at an isolated cattle ranch, a few miles south- east of Old Fort Sumner. Perry and two deputies were in search of horse-thieves cast of Fort Sumner yesterday, when Sheriff Perry met and recognized Cook at the first glance. Quicker than a flash Perry and his men had their Winchesters up, and Cook was so thoroughly surprised that he lost his nerve, and although he had two six-shooters about his "waist, his hand went up at the command of the sheriff. Handcuffs were put on his wrists and ho was mounted and strapped on his own horse, which was found tied on the plains near the cabin. One deputy led the ani mal, while Sheriff Perry and his other deputy rode behind them. Thus the trip to Roswell was made, a distance of 63 miles. Marshal Hill expects to hear from tho United States district attorney of Oklahoma, Arkansas and Texas, to whom he wired, announcing Cook's capture. It Is said that with the state, express and railroad companies' officials, there are re wards amounting to $15,000 for Cook's capture. In an interview with the cap tured bandit, at Roswell, he acknowl edged himself as Bill Cook, and said that when captured he was on his way to Mexico and meant to quit the highway. He said: "The officers have me, .and will take me back where I am known, and there is no use for me to deny it, but don't give me hell like the other fellows have, for I have not committed half the crimes that are charged to me. I have done all my work on the open highway, never killed anyone, r.or have I ever robbed a poor man, unless It was of a horse or food, that I was compelled to have when dodg ing the officers. My brother Jim was never connected with my train-robberies, and I did not have anything to do with tho Rock Island or Texas & Pacific hold ups, nor the Santa Fe & Fort Worth, but did rob the 'Frisco, at Red Fork, last July. Five other boys were with me. I had nothing to do with bank-robberies. I was in but one robbery, and if in dicted for that, under the name of Bill Cook,will plead guilty." m - MISCELLANEOUS MARKETS Prices Realized for Livestock at Chi cago and Omaha. CHICAGO, Jan. 12.

How He Renewed Friendship "With His Confederate Captors. During Colonel Robert G. Ingersoll's re cent visit to Memphis) Tenn., an incident occurred that served to remind him of his war experience. After the lecture he attended a reception given in his honor by Colonel and Mrs. William R. Moore. Of the guests that were presented to him, he regarded one with an eye or vague recognition. "Surely I have seen you somewhere be fore," said the colonel. "Was It about 30 years ago?" asked the other. "That is to say, in December, 1S63?" "I have reason to remember that month," said Colonel Ingersoll. "It was then I was captured by the Confeder ates." "And so have I," replied the guest, "for it was then that I had the honor of capturing a certain federal colonel. Don't you remember Major G. V. Rambaut, of General Forrest's command?" The colonel did remember, and the two ex-warrlors sought a corner and recalled the details of the event. Colonel Ingersoll, In command of an Il linois regiment of cavalry, had undertaken to prevent a large force of Forrest's men from crossing a certain deep stream. Leaving the greater part of his command to destroy a bridge, Ingersoll moved up on one side of the stream with a few men and a field piece, in order to annoy the Confederates on the other side before the latter could reach the bridge. But Forrest got to the bridge, crossed It, and by superior numbers routed its defenders. Then he proceeded after Ingersoll. The Union colonel was unhorsed while leaning a fence, and the enemy, led by Major Rambaut, was on him ere he could rise. Immediately after the capture of Inger soll, General Forrest rode up. "Who Is in command of those troops?" cried Forrest, poltlng toward the flying Illinois cavalrymen. "I don't know," replied Ingersoll, joc ularly. "Who was in command?" amended the general. "If you'll keep the secret," said Inger soll, blandly, "I'll tell you. I was." Colonel Ingersoll's good humor pleased Forrest, who treated him well, and event ually exchanged him. After the war For rest and Ingersoll renewed their acquaint ance at Washington, and became warm friends, but the colonel did not again meet Major Rambaut until his recent visit to Memphis, 30 years later. Dr. Talmage will renew his clerical work by a sermon every Sunday afternoon at 4 o'clock in the New York Academy of Music. He will continue to reside in Brooklyn. . m It is strange that people continue drink ing Insipid Japan tea when "Blue Cross" Ceylon tea has so much more character. ANOTHER HOTEL FIRE NO FATALITIES, BUT SEVERAL PER SONS BADLY HURT. A Fierce Blizzard and a- Belovr-Zero Temperature Added o the Hor rors of the Fire. BRADFORD, Fa.. Jan. 13. During a fierce blizzard, and with the thermometer registering 8 deg. below zero. Are broke out in the Sheehan house at 6:45 o'clock this morning. It spread rapidly, and when It was quenched, proved one of the most destructive fires ever seen here. The guests In the Sheehan house and those near by had only time to escape with their lives, and, when they reached the ground, were in some cases badly frozen before they coiled reach places of shelter. Mary Callahan and Mary Dorean jumped from the second-story window of the Sheehan house in their night clothes and sustained serious injuries. Although Miss Calla han's wrist and ankle were fractured in the fall, she managed to reach a place of safety through the severe cold. Mrs. Mc Qulston rushed from her room with her clothing and hair on fire. The firemen barely saved her life. Her husband was badly burned in fighting the flames. At least 100 of the firemen had their ears, faces or hands frozen more or less se verely, two of whom are in a critical con dition. Owing to the fierceness of the gale, it was a hard fire to fight, and for a time it seemed as if the whole town would go. The cause of the Are was an overheated stove. An alarm was sent in and the de partment responded promptly. When Chief Ropp arrived on the scene he saw that the conflagration was one that would necessitate the force of the entire de partment, and a general alarm was sent in. Considerable time was lost in getting water on account of the severe cold weather, which froze some of the drips in the hydrants. The Are spread rapidly to the adjoining wooden buildings. To the north these were occupied and owned by Mrs. Peterson, who lived upstairs. The ground floor was used as a barber shop by Stephen Foley. In the rear was a livery stable owned by the Barnsdall Brothers. On the south were: I. Routhstein, fruit store; John Fitz gibbons, butter store; and Egbert & Ryan, the corner store. Theso tenants were in what is known as the Columbia block, owned by D. F. Rosenberg. Most of those named In the Columbia block saved their goods. Eg bert & Ryan will suffer heavy loss by water, which damaged a good portion of the stock saved from the fire. The fire also spread from the rear to: Neusbaum & Steinberger, grocery, Nos. 3 and 5 Main street; Rosstein's pawnshop, No. 7 Main; a photograph gallery over Rosstein's store, and Smith Bros., grocery store, No. 9 Main street. , All these buildings were gutted. A number of firemen suffered from frozen hands and feet." Mrs. Preston's two daughters and son, who lived over Foley's barber shop had a narrow escape. The fire raged four hours, and it was with the most heroic work of the fire department that the fire was prevented from spread ing. The total losses were about $75,000, and the insurance $35,000. J. M. Quiston and Robert Helm, firemen, were so badly frozen that their condition is critical. Quebec Also Visited. QUEBEC, Jan. 13. The Victoria hotel and St. George's club were gutted by fire eearly this morning. Seventy guests were aroused and escaped in their night clothes. The loss Is $-10,000, fully insured. Connecticut Silk Mill Dnmngcd. SOUTH MANCHESTER, Conn, Jan. 12. The machine-shops and engine-room connected with Cheney Bros. silk mill was gutted by fire this morning. The Joss s estimated at $75,000, and Is covered by Insurance. Little Girl had to bo Kept in a Dark Boom. Cnuld not See to Feed Herself. Remedies and Doc tors All Failed. Cured in Ono Weeli by Cuticora. My little girt had very sore eye3. I tried everything, out nothing did any good. I took her to a doctor iu Atlanta, who treated her for a year, but she kept getting worse. I brought her home; was almost out of heart: I just felt sure she would go blind. An old lady told me to try Ccticoba Remedies. I had no faith in them, .13 I had tri8d every thing. I commenced on Saturday, and bef oro tho next Saturday her eyes were sound and well as any child's. She was almost blind, and had been kept in a dark room for more than a year; could not see to feed herself; and they have never been as yet the least par ticle sore or even looked red from that day until this, and It will bo three years tho first of May.
