BURNEDUKE FIRE
Speedily Cured by
CUTICURA REMEDIES
I was a sufferer for eight years from that
most distressing of all diseases, Eczema, but
can now say tru hfully that I am entirely
cured. I tried some of the best physicians .
in the country, but they did me little good.
The palms of my hands were covered, and
would become inflamed; little white blisters
at first would appear, then they would peel
off, leaving a red, smooth surface which would
burn like Are and itch; well, there is no name
for it. On the inside of the upper part of -both
my limbs, great red blotches not unlike
hives would appear, and as soon as I became
warm, the burning and itching would begin.
Night after night I would lie awake all night
and scratch, and almost go wild. I heard of
Cotiouba remedies, got a box of Cuticuba
(ointment), a bottle of CimciiBA Resolvent
(blood purifier), and gave them a thorough
trial, and after a few applications I noticed
the redness and inflammation disappear; be
fore I had wed one box there via not a tign of
Eczema left. I can truthfully assert that $2.00
worth of CumcuRA Remedies cured me. Any
one I meet who has Eczema, I do not hesitate
a moment in recommending your remedies.

IN ONE MIGHTY VOICE
Chicago Asked Recognition of
Cubans as Belligerents.
TWO IMMENSE MEETINGS HELD
Seldom Has More Enthusiasm Been
Shown and Never Were Speakers
More Seriously in Earnest.
Chicago, Oct 2. As much of the
populaiton of Chicago as could find en
trance to the auditorium of Central
Music hall and the Y. M. C. A. build
ings tonight shouted itself hoarse in
approbation of a series of resolutions
in which the government is asked to
recogni ze the Cubans as belligerents.
Such genuine enthusiasm has seldom
been witnessed in this city, and on no
occasion were words spoken by men
more fnll of the heart and soul than
the speakers.
Mayor George B. Swift presided at
the main meeting in Central Masks
hall, while Judge William A. Vincent
was chairman of the overflow meeting
in the Association building. There
were seventeen vice-presidents who oc
cupied seats on the platforms, chosen
from leading business men, and each
had previously expressed himself as in
fall accord with the object of the meet
ings. Among telegrams from men who
could not be present was one from
Governor John P. Altgeld, and its
ringing words called forth cheer after
cheer. It was as follows:
"It is time that Spanish misrule,
Spanish brutality and Spanish outrage
should be driven from the American
continent. The nations have long as
serted the right to interfere for the
purpose of suppressing a practice that
shocks the moral sense of the civilized
world, puch as cannibalism and the
slave trade, yet the cannibals do not
indulge in wholesale slaughter nor tor
ture their victims, while in Cuba the
torture is fiendish and the butchery
continues.
"We must end these horrors or else
talk less about Christian civilization.
Besides, when viewed from a geo
graphical and political or a military
standpoint, Cuba should be ours. Let
our country first extend recognition,
then a helping hand, and, lastly, a
place in the Union. This done, the
richest island of the world will soon
become the gem of the seas."
Senator Cullom wired: "The peo
ple of the United States strongly sym
pathize with the Cubans struggling to
be free from Spanish domination. Our
government should do everything con
sistent with national honor. in their be
half." General Alger's message read: "It
seems to me what has been previously
been done by our government and so
clearly defined by President Monroe,
concerning belligerent rights of those
countries, should now 'be granted in
Cuba. She has made a magnificent
struggle for liberty; has formed a pro
visional government; has been victor
ious in many hard-fought battles, with
every advantage against her, save that
she is right. . I trust and believe she
will win her independence. "
The Rev. Dr. H. W. Thomas read
the resolutions, which were adopted as
by one mighty voice. The resolutions
also declared for a permanent organi
zation to continue the work.
The Anarchists of Chicago.
Chicago, Oct. 2. "A few more
strikes in Chicago and there will be
anarchy in a good, big lump," said
Charles W. Mowbray, last night in a
meeting of the Economic Club, and the
remark was applauded vigorously by
the 200 men and women present. So
cial labor leaders, single-taxers, so
cialists, anarchists and reformers of
various names made up the audience,
and among them were Eric Morton and
Lucy Parsons, whose positions on the
reformation of society are jvell known.
All had something to say, but Mow
bray was the oracle of the occasion, he
having challenged anyone present to
ask him questions. He began the de
bate with a general outline of what an
archy was, and why he believed in it
He declared against government of all
descriptions.

ALMOST COMPLETED.
Finishing Up the Work on the Great
Columbia River Jetty.
Astoria, Or., Oct 2. The great jet
ty at the mouth of the Columbia is
nearing completion. Major- Post,
United States engineers, who has
charge of that work,-states that Oc
tober 15 the shipping of rock to the
jetty will be discontinued, and the
work closed down and he does not ex
pect that it will be resumed again.
Very rapid progress has been made
on the work during the past season,
some 206,000 tons of rock having been
put on the jetty since June last, and
about 216,000 tons since October 15,
1894. This means a very large amount
of construction within the year, which
can hardly be looked upon as perma
nently finished. 'Mr. Hegart, the su
perintendent, who has been in charge
seven years will remain at Fort Stev
ens during the winter in charge. The
tramway will be kept in order as far as
possible, and next spring, if any neces
sity exists, caused by the storms of
winter, -more rock will be put on the
lately completed portion of the jetty,
and a 'survey of the channel will be
made too see what change has taken
place during the winter. The tram
way will never be taken up, as it is not
worth the trouble.
The jetty is one of the most success
ful works of the kind ever constructed.
and the cost has been far within the
estimates. It was begun ten years ago,
when there were only from eighteen to
twenty feet of water on the bar at the
mouth of the river, and even that could
not be relied upon, as the sand was
constantly shifting. The jetty is four
and one-half miles long. The esti
mated cost was $3,700,000, and the
actual cost will be 11,900,000. It has
completely done away with the once
dreaded "bar of the Columbia," and
has created a wide, straight-out chan
nel thirty feet in depth, and for about
half the width, thirty-one feet in
depth.
The amount of stone used in build
ing the . jetty will amount to about
940,000 tons, and so well has the wori
been arranged and managed that - this
rock has been placed on the jatty at an
average cost of $2.30 per ton. This
includes the first cost of the rock, cost
of towing plant, superintendence and
everything.
THE PACIFIC BANK.
Action Commenced to Gain Control of
the Outstanding Claims.
San Francisco, Oct 2,--P. F. Dun-
don began an action in the ' superior
court today against all the stockholders
and directors of the Pacific bank, and
particularly against J. M. McDonald,
to obtain control of about' $150,000 in
claims said to have been acquired by
J. M. McDonald while president of the
bank, but as a private speculation. It
is a co-ordinate suit with that of Dun
don now being heard by Judge Heb
bard, against the directors to have them
removed. Before Judge Hebbard, in
the hearing of the suit Dundon has
brought to remove the present directors
of the bank, Patrick Kilbourn, bank
commissioner, testified today that
President J. M. McDonald's attorney,
Sawyer, had admitted that Captain
MoDonald was buying up claims, but
said it was merely to facilitate . the
liquidation of the bank, and that the
captain would not profit by the pur
chases. Sawyer had agreed to get a
guarantee from McDonald that he
would not profit personally from buy
ing up the claims of depositors.
THE FAIR ESTATE.
Another Step by the Son's Attorneys
A gainst the Trustees
San Francisco, Oct 2 Charles L.
Fair's attorneys will take another step
Thursday, in his suit against the trus
tees of his father's estate, in his contest
of the will creating the trust Knight
& Haggerty gave notice today that,
Thursday, they will move for a judg
ment for Charles L. Fair on the plead
ings in the action, on the ground that
the trustees' answer to the suit does
not join issue. The trustees' reply to
the original complaint was to submit a
copy of the will under which they hold
title. The motion to be made by
Charles L. Fair's attorneys will he
based on their contention that the will
does not set forth a defense to. the suit
or show title to rest in the trustees, be
cause the trust created by' the will is
void under the law of California, as
unduly suspending the absolute power
of alienation of property beyond a live
person's existence.
Dr. Mary Walker's Last Scheme.
Oswego, N. Y., Oct 2. Dr. Mary
Walker, who forty years ago preached
the gospel of dress reform to the
women of this oountry, and who has
been arrested in many cities for dress
ing and appearing on the public streets
in male attire, is the apostle of a
scheme for the bloomer girls. Through
Lawyer H. C. Benedict, of this city,
Dr. Mary has bought a farm contain
ing 135 acres of land, seven miles west
of this city, and proposes to form a col
ony in which man shall have no part
Only females who will bind themselves
to a life of celibacy while members of
the community and to wear bloomers
for life are to be eligible. They will
wc-k the farm in all its details, plant
and harvest crops, dispose of them in
market and take care of the stock. The
site selected for the colony is in the
heart of the finest fruit country in New
York.
Women to Be Admitted as Delegates.
Elgin, I1L, Oct 2. Woman scored
another victory among the Methodists
today. Th Rock River conference,
by a vote of 147 to 27, decided in favor

gates to the general conference. Every
prominent minister in the conference
voted for the women.
LEOPOLD'S CHARMER
A Paris Model Who Raised
. a Sensation.
HINTS AT THEIR RELATIONS
She Was Queen of a Students' Ball and
Is Now a Popular Actress at
the Folies-Bergere. ,
Brussels, Oct. 1. Quite a sensation
has been caused here this evening by a
paper pointedly remarking on the re
lations said to exist between King Leo
pold and Emilenne D'Alenoon, favor
ite danseuse at the Folies-Bergere in
Paris, whose acquaintance the king is
said to have made in that city.
Emilenne D'Alencon, as she styles
herself, first came under the public eye
in Paris two winters ago. She was
then an artist model, well known in
the Latin quarter, where she posed for
the ensemble. A students' ball was or
ganized in the Boulevard de Clichy
under the title of Lea Bal des Quartre
Arts. Emilenne, on account of her
plastic perfections, was selected as the
queen.
Her appearance created a sensation,
even at a Paris students' balL She
was carried in triumphal procession
around the hall attired only in a gauze
scarf. Members of the Social Purity
League, suspecting from the flourish of
trumpets with which the ball was her
alded, that there might be ground for
their interference, were present and
the result was that Emilenne and one
or two other models were prosecuted
for outraging public decency.
The question whether tha presence.
lightly clad, at a gathering of students,
of a model accustomed to pose before
them for the "altogether," could- be
termed an outrage upon public decency
was warmly discussed, both in court
and in the press. It was proved, howr
ever, that many persons who were in
no way connected with art had paid for
admission.
Emilenne was fined and sentenced to
two or three days' imprisonment, but
escaped the latter by virtue of the Ber
enger act relative to first offenders.
She was immediately engaged by the
management of the Folies-Bergre to
star in the ballet entitled 'Le Bal Des
Quartre Arts, and drew crowded
houses throughout the season. Since
then she has abandoned the studio for
the variety stage, and during the past
summer has beeen the chief attraction
at the Casino at Troutville, the most
fashionable seaside resort in France.
WASHINGTON'S THEATER.
Built on the Site of the Historic Old
Seaward Mansion.
Washington, Oct 1. The new La
fayette-square operahouse, built on the
site of the old Seward mansion, where
Wilkes Booth's co-conspirator attempt
ed the life of Secretary Seward, and
where James G. Blaine died, opens to
morrow with Lillian Russell in "Tzi
gane." The theater faces Lafayette square,
directly, opposite the White House.
The structure is built of polished green
granite, and the architecture is of the
classic Grecian order. It has a front
age of seventy-six feet and is 146 feet
deep. The building is pronounced ab
solutely fireproof. The main entrance
is thirty-six feet wide, opening direct
ly from the sidewalk. The lobby is
finished in mahogany and floored in
mosaics, while broad marble staircas
es on either Bide lead to the upper
floors. The main floor, rising in five
tiers, is constructed on the cantilever
plan, so that there are only two sup
porting scagliola, on. the main floor
and the third balcony.
All of the auditorium is divided into
stalls, named after the president of the
United States. There are sixteen pro
scenium boxes. The fronts of the stalls
and balconies are ornamented with
wrought style. The interior is finished
in the style of the Italian renaissance.
The stage, which is equipped with all
the latest fireprooT rigging, has an
opening of thirty-six feet There is
an asbestos curtain, lowered by mach
inery, on which is painted a copy of
Corman's famous painting, "LfiirVain
quers de Salamine." The roof is so
constructed that it can be used as a
roof garden if desired.
The theater was built and will be
managed by J. W. Albaugh, for many
years proprietor of Albaugh's grand
operahouse in this city. This is the
theater over the construction of which
Senator Cameron and others made such
resistance.
Boom for Improvement.
London, Oct 1. Responding to a
toast to the house of lords at a banquet
given at Ripon tonight, the Marquis of
Londonderry said that he thought the
house of lords could be improved in
many ways, and he hoped the union
ists would srrapple with the question.
The house of lords might -hereafter
have to oppose the house of commons
in measures not so unpopular as the
home rule measure; therefore he wish
ed it to be so strong that no stone could
be cast at its action.
French Spies in Germany.
Leipsig, Oct 1. The Gerichs Zei-
tnng says that as a result of the arrest
of a Frenchman anda German woman
at Cologne, four Germans bjrve been
arrested at Essen, Magdeburg and tier
lin, all connected with an extensive
system of. espionage promoted by the
French with the object of ' obtaining
drawings of the defense work.
French Prisoners Beleased.
New York, Sept 80. The Herald's
correspondent in Rio Janeiro telegraphs
that France will release the Brazilians
captured in the recent fights in the
Amapa territory and now in prison in
Cayenne, Frenoh Guiana.
WRECK OF THE HUMBOLDT.
She Struck a Perfect Nest of Kocks,
Sunken and Projecting;.
Eureka, Cal., Oct 1. The latest
news from the wreck of the Humboldt
was received this evening, when the
tug Banger returned from the scene,
bringing Chief Engineer Foord, of the
steame.
The steamer is two miles south of
Point Gorda, and the locality i a per
fect nest of rocks, sunken and project
ing. A lifeboat was sent to the wreck,
and, finding all hands safely on shore,
took off the mail sacks. Chief Foord,
in his account of the disaster, is loud
in praises of the stanchness of the ves
sel. Had it not been forthe strength
of the steamer, it is probable some, if
not all, those aboard would have been
lost.
The vessel went on the rocks at 3:45
Saturday morning, and, although con
tinually pounding and grinding on the
rocks, pumps were able to keep the wa
ter under control until 11:15 A. M. By
that time the passengers had all been
put ashore, and only the crew remain
ed. The water put put the fires. The
crew then made preparations to leave
the vessel.
A surprising-thing about the wreck
was the absence of all panic When
she struck the passengers were-awaken-ed
and told to dress, lifeboats were
cleared away, and a man stationed at
each to ' prevent any premature at
tempts to leave the ship. This precau
tion, however, seemed unnecessary,
and, instead of excited men and
screaming women, the passengers act
ed as though being wrecked was an
every-day occurrence.
At 8 o clock breakfast was served
in the saloon, as usual,- and most of the
passengers ate heartily, after which
preparations were made to leave the
ship. One boat at a time was sent off,
women first, but all succeeded in land
ing safely, and, barring the wetting,
suffered no inconvenience. By this
time a nasty sea had commenced to
oome up, and when the crew commenc
ed to go ashore, trouble began. Of
four boats in use, two were smashed on
the rocks, but the occupants succeeded
in scrambling ashore. Finally only
the captain and three men were left
aboard. These took the last lifeboat,
but were compelled to pull out to sea,
where they remained some time, get
ting ashore during a smooth spell.
Chief Foord professes to know noth
ing of the cause of the wreck, but sup
poses it was due to the fog and current
Richard Sweassey, managing owner,
who returned from the scene of the
wreck on .the tug, said that he had
given up the steamer as a total loss.
The vessel was insured for $20,000.
MOB OF ANGRY DEPOSITORS.
They Are After a Bank President, Who
Will Be lynched If Caught.
Perry, O. T., Oct 1. A messenger
from Pawnee, twenty-five miles east
of here, says that President and Cash
ier Berry, of the Farmers' & Citizens'
bank, of that town, is being pursued
by a mob of angry depositors, and will
be lynched if caught It leaked out
that the bank would not open its doors
Saturday, and a bill for a receiver was
being prepared. The depositors imme
diately ran an attachment on the bank
building and assets to the amount of
$30,000. C. L. Berry, the president
and cashier of the bank, was found,
and tried to explain the failure, but
the people would not hear him, and,
had it not been for the officers, he
would have been mobbed on the spot
Berry left, and the crowd became more
furious, and when tho sheriff opened
the safe and found only $20 or $30 in
cash the mob got beyond the control of
the officers and broke for Berry's house.
He had been notified, however, and
had made his escape. A number of
men, the messenger says, mounted
horses and took after him. If Berry
is caught he will be lynched.
Harrison' In literature.
Philadelphia, Oct 1. Ex-President
Harrison has, as previously stated, en
tered the literary field. He is now en
gaged at his Indianapolis home on a
series of articles to be called "This
Country of Ours," the publication of
which will soon begin in the Ladies'
Home Journal, of this city. It is Gen
eral Harrison's purpose to explain to
women what the United States govern
ment means, viewed from its inner
workings. He will explain the origin
and meaning of the constitution upon
which the national laws are based;
what the different executive and judic
iary departments mean, and how they
are divided; the power of the president
and of ' representatives and senators,
and will outline how congress legis
lates, what our relations with foreign
nations signify, and what the jury
system is. Political opinion will not
enter these records.
Indians Beady for the Warpath.
- Hennepin, L T., Oct 1. A report
has reached here that the Cheyenne
and Arapahoe Indians, on the reserva
tion west of here, have become ugly
and are holding war dances and disre
garding the agent's orders to keep on
the reservation. Runners from Ana
darko are in communication with
them, and it is said that Kiowas are
ready for the warpath. The cattlemen
in western Oklahoma are thought to
be partly the cause of the trouble, as
well as dissatisfaction witn tne agent,
