Her Husband's Story
" My nitmo is E. J. Sprong, and my address is iC Bondman Block, Troy, N.
Y. I wunt to tell how thankful I am that my wife's health has been restored to
her. About a year ago she caught a dreadful cold, which settled in her bron
chial tubes and lungs, bho cer
tninly lmd bronchitis, and I think
consumption, too, and we de
spaired of her life. She had rt
tightness and soreness in the

to breathe. There wore darting,

constant coughing and expectorat

than the day before. I was ad
vised to get Acker's English Rem

shook her head and said : 'Another
dollar thrown away.' Sho took
tho Remedy, however, and said
tho effect was magical. In less
than an hour there was a remark

entirely well and strong again. The euro was permanent and there has been
no relapse. I don't know what Acker's English Remedy is made of, but I am
sure it contains something that fortifies the system against future attacks. My
wife is in better general health now than ever, and you can't imagine how
happy she is for her recovery. Sho tells everybody about Acker a English Rem

TALKS OF ALLIANCE
WITH JAPAN
It is Said to Be Only a Question of Time
Chinese Interests Jealously
Guarded Against America, England
and Germany.
St. Pcteiisuuhg, Jan. 29. The news
papers here are paying considerable at
tention to events in Chinu. The Novosti
expresses the opinion that the dynasty
will last for a long time to come, but
adds that "China will never be restored
to tier former condition, and the un
avoidable work of partition will be ac
complished peacefully, though perhaps
in the dietant future."
The Kossija asserts that it waa not nec
essary for Russia to take a hand in the
coup d'etat, and adds: "A Russo-Japanese
alliance is inevitable. It is only a
question of time. In the meanwhile it
is important that control of the naval
and military forces of China does not
fall into the hands of Americans, British
or Germans."
The paper concludes: "We muBt keep
on the alert aud see how the new eitua
tion affects the interests of Western Eu
rope, above all, those of England."
May Cause Trouble.
Shanghai, Jan. 29. The deposition of
Emperor Kwangsu creates great diesatis
faction among Chinese officials in the
Yang-Tee valley, and merchants are con
siderably disturbed, fearing trouble. It
is rumored that he will be reinstated in
one year.
EXPECTS THEM
TO COME BACK
Believes When Eastern Gold Democrats
Understand the Chicago Platform
Thev Will All Vote and Work for It.
New Youk, Jan. 29. A special to tho
Herald from Washington says: Wil
liam J. Bryan spent a quiet Sunday in
this city and left in the evening for
Providence, via New York. Mr. Bryan's
visit to Providence will be bia second
entry Into New England, and while he
does not, of course, look for substantial
results from that section, he believes the
indications from his Eastern reception
will be of value to the party throughout
the country.
"I have been greatly pleased," he said,
"at the interest manifested by Demo
crats of the East in what I have had to
say upon the great issues before the
people. There is every indication of the
return of every man, who, misunder
standing the issues of the last campaign,
went off to the enemy, and I believe that
aa the real meaning of the principals of
the Chicago platform are better under
stood by the people of the East, not only
will we regain the Democrats, but we
will also make eerious inroads in the
ranks of our opponents."
Mr. Bryan does not believe that the
Republicans will holdout the hope of In
ternational bimetallism in their platform
of 1000. He expects to see their plat
form declare unequivocally for the gold
standard.

FALL OF LADY
SMITH EXPECTED
Inmates Have Been Short on Rations
for Nearly Two Months.
London, Jan. 29. There is comment
in London on tho discrepancy between
the Boer account of the recapture of
Spionkop and that sent by General Bul
ler. The latter eaya Wt a word about
the Boers scaling the hill and attacking
the British trenches, and capturing 150
men who had hoisted the white flag, aa
at Majuba hill. Instead, he spoke of the
maintenance of "the best traditions of
the British army." There is not much
doubt that the Boer account is correct.
It is by no means boastful.
The London military critics have given
up hope of saving Lidysmith, which is
undoubtedly short of food and ammuni
tion. The garrison went on ehort rations
December 2,
Aa it required a month for Boiler to
recover from his earlier defeat at Colenso,
it is not thought he can pull his dif
heartened army together now in time to
do anything for Ladysinith. London
waits anxiously for the Boers to move.
They Beein to be fighting on a very de
finite plan, and it is thought they may
attack Buller or assault Ladysmith.
New York, Jan. 29. A epecial cable
gram from London to the Evening World
says :
"It is learned from a reliable source
that Lord Roberts has advieed the
abandonment ot Ladysmith. At the war
office, the dispatch adds, no confirmation
could be obtained of the advice said to
have given by Lord Roberts."
London, Jan. 29. The war office
denies the report that Ladysmith had
surrendered, and announces that a very
heavy list of casualties will be issued
tonight.
