AmerLvi.A ambassa dor to Austria-Hungary, who has been In the t'nlted States for several weeks, haa returned to his mission after a en joyable visit among his friends. Elaborate arrangements are been made In Panama for the celebration of the first anniversary of the birthday of the Isthmian republic, and Mr. Lee. tutted States rUaee d'alTalrfs, has suggested to the state department that a naval band be ordered there to par ticipate In the ceremony. The sugges tion would have been gladly adopted but for the fact that there Is no availa ble band.

The torpedo vessels In the United States navy are about to undergo a radical change. The types now In use are unsatisfactory. Secretary Morton has appointed a board to con sider types for boat and machinery This board Is said to have been named as a result of the long cruise which the first torpedo flotilla took from the Unl ted States to China, by way of the Suez canal Although the flotilla made the trip without losing any of the vessels, this experiment In ocean travel with the small craft Is said to have demonstrated that the present types are unsatisfactory because they were unable to keep up a satisfactory speed on a long voyage, and are other wise deficient W. W. Kussel, the newly appointed American minister to Colombia, has reported his arrival at La Guaira, Venezuela. He proceeded at once to Caracas to pay a visit to President ttwtro. who is his personal friend.

In the fall of 1895 1 contracted that fear ful disease, Blood Poison, It gained such headway that I was forced to resign tn j position and seek relief at Hot Spring. After spending all the means I had I went to Memphis. In less than three weeks I was in a hospital, and after nine weeks of suffering I was discharged as cured. In less than a month every bone in my body seemed to be affected and felt as if they would break at the least exertion. Again I was compelled to resign, and I returned to the hospital lor a seven weeks stay. When 1 came out l was advised to tr farming. When I first went on the farm revailed on the only firm who handled drues to get me one dozen bottles of S. S. S. At that time both of my hands were broken out with blisters and I was covered with boils and sores. In the meantime my druggist had gotten two dozen bottles of S. 8. S. for me and I began its use, and after taking the thirteenth bottle not sore or boil was visible. R. B. Fowsxt. East qth St. , Little Rock, Ark.
