New "Greek Fire."
A new and what is considered a
highly important invention was tested
in the Geiman Navy recently. It con
ists of a sort of chemical combustible
Br "Greek fire," invented by a Berlin
engineer. It ignites on contact with
the air and water, and cannot be
quenched by either water or earth.
It burns with a brilliant flame, exceed
ing the big searchlights, and it can be
sunk under water or beneath the
ground, and when brought to the sur
face instantly bursts into flames at any
iesired point. It was tested at night
evolutions of the navy and proved most
efficient in detecting the presence of an
apposing force.
MBS. PIlfKHAM'S ADVICE.
What Mrs. Nell Hurst has to Say
About It.
Dear Mks. Ptnkham: When I wrote
to you I had not been well for five years;
had doctored all the lime but got no
better. 1 had womb trouble very bad.
My womb pressed backward, causing
piles. I was in such misery I could
ecarcely walk across the floor. Men-.
Struation was irregular and too pro
fuse, was also
troubled with
leucorrhcea. I
had given up all
hopes of getting
well; everybody
thought I had
consumption.
After taking
S I Jlr J LydiaE. Pink-
YuUll 11 ham's Vegeta-
l ilt'' Klfl fYmrmound-
I felt very much better
and was able to do nearly all my own
work. I continued the use of your medi
cine, and feel that I owe my recovery to
you. I cannot thank you enough for your
advice and your wonderful medicine.
Any one doubting my statement may
write to me and I will gladly answer
all inquiries. Mrs. Nell Hubst, Deep
water, Mo.
Letters like the foregoing, con
stantly being received, contribute not
a little to the satisfaction felt by Mrs.
Pinkham that her medicine and counsel
are assisting women to bear their heavy
burdens.
Mrs. Pinkham's address is Lynn, Mass.
All suffering women are invited to
write to her for advice, which will be
given without charge. It is an ex
perienced woman's advice to women.

THE SAMOAN TROUBLE
Cruiser Philadelphia Ordered
to the Islands.
THE GERMAN CONSUL EXPELLED
He Was Forcibly Ejected From the Su
nreine Coart Building
t Apia.
Auckland, New Zealand, Jan. 21.
Further particulars regarding the dis
turbances at Samoa show that Ma
taafa's followers numbered about 5,000
men and the adherents of Malietoa
Tanus only about 1,000. There was
two hour's fighting between the xival
foices, during which several of the
warriors were decapitated.
The American consul issued a proc
lamation claiming the Berlin -treaty
had the same force as a law of congress,
and that an insult to the supreme
court of Samoa is therefore equivalent
to an insult to the government at
Washington.
Washington, Jan. 21. The navy de
partment has issued orders to the
cruiser Philadelphia to proceed to Sa
moa at once. The Philadelphia, with
Admiral Kautz on board, arrived at
San Diego, Gal., this morning from
Acapulco.

trouble in Samoa throe British war
ships will proceed fc&ore, and one
American warship start for the

- German Consul Ejected.
London, Jan. 21. A special from
Auckland, N. Z., says the British and
American consuls were compelled to
force the doors oi the supreme court at
Apia, in which the German consul
had established himself, and to push
him into the street. All parties at
Apia, the dispatch continues, unite in
condemning the German consul for the
fighting which has taken .place, but
not the rival kings. It is pointed out
that in violation of all agreements the
consul accompanied Mataafa's force
vhen the claimant invaded the town
and encouraged opposition to Malietoa
Ian us.
When the British and American con-
sals were informed as to the situation
titey adjourned the court and locked
the building. The Geiman consul
then demanded the keys, and they
were refuned him. He then broke
open the doors, removed the locks and
replaced them with others. He after
wards brought the Geiman municipal
president into the oh amber, and the
latter went upon the balcony and
shouted to the British and American
marines assembled on the square: "I
am the supreme court, I am the chief
justice." The crowd leplied with jeers
and the British consul demanded the
keys of the building, which were re
fused. A Scotchman named Mackie
thereupon climbed on top of the build
ing and hoisted the Samoan flag, while
the British and American consuls ... arid
a number of marines, forced 'the doors
and hurried the Geiman consul into
the street.
Tllen the two consuls formally and
legally, according to the dispatch.
opened court and issued a warning
against any further interference with
its jurisdiction, threatening to arrest
and imprison any one attempting to
do so. '

sideration is being given by the ord

bers of the commission for the business-like
way and smoothness with
which it was effected.

The "Custer Boys."
"Tom" Custer, 19-year-old lieuten
ant in the Sixth Michigan cava'ry, was
every whit as brave as his elder brother,
the general. Twice he captured colors
from the enemy; on the second occasion
at Sailor's creek, only three days before
Lee's surrender. Dashing up to the
Confederate line in a perfect hail of
bullets he fell back upon his horse, a
ball having passed through his head
from his cheek to his eat. Never
checking bis horse, he dashed on over
the rifle pits from which the enemy
had been driven, and, just as the Con
federate oolor-bearer leeled back from
a well-aimed shot. Tom grasped the
flag and made off with it at full gallop.
When he reached his own line he was
bo full of fight that he insisted on go
ing back into action, but General Cus
ter ordered hro under arrest and sent
him to a surgeon. "Fighting for
