A Lie Savep Bythe useof AYER’S Sarsaparilia SYLVESTER BIR, a well-known grocer in new Albany, Ind., writes: ‘‘My oldest daughter, when a child, was « greatsufferer from Scrofula, having three sores on one side of her neck andone on the other. I used AYER’S Sarsaparilla, and so effective was the result that the sores healed rapidly, leaving only their scars behind. She isnow a woman, inxood health. Ihave nodoubt that her life was saved BY THE USE OF AYER'S Sarsaparilla. It has also proved equally beneficial with my other children. who were troubled with the same disease.” “Scrofula in my blood caused painful sores to break out on my left leg and arm, and but for the use of AYER'S Sarsaparilla would, I think, im time, have covered me from head to foot.

The steamer Orizaba arrived yesterday at New York from Havana, after a quick trip of three days and four hours. She) brings information in regar@ to the sugar industry in Cuba as affected by the pro- posed tariff bill. It seems that sugar specu- lators in Havana and other Cuban cities have been banking on the chance of sugar duties being lowered by the new tariff. There are now stored in Havana 400,000 bags of last year’s sugar. Each bag ‘contains 340 pounds. Should the new tariff go into effect a great rush of shipments of sugar from Cuba to this country is expected. Over 100,000 Idle. Delegates representing the striking Scotch coal miners met at Glasgow yester- day and made an offer to the masters to hold a conference, with a view to ending the deadlock. The masters declined to en- tertain the proposal, and the delegates, therefore, decided to call out from the mines 17,000 men, who have been working since the strike began. This will make a total of 117,000 idle miners in Scotland. Naval Orders. Lieut. J. H.

The campaign for this city as the meet- ing place of the great international conven- tion of the Christian Ended@vor Society in the year 18% is being pushed with vigor. The committee representing the organiza- tion in this city, to whom the details of the preliminary work have been intrusted, held another meeting last evening. Reporw were received from the various subcom- mittees showing that good progress has been made in working up a sentiment in favor of this city, as absolutely the best Place for holding the convention two years hence. An encouraging feature of the work undertaken by the committee is the hearty and substantial backing which they are get- ting from the societies in this city. The contributions of money which are coming in show the sentiments of the local mem- bers of the Christian Endeavor societies. A letter was authorized to be prepared and sent to the members of the board of tru: tees of the united society which will » forth vety fully the claims and the ad- vantages of this city. The co-operation of the trustees will be asked, and as the se- lection of the place of meeting in 1896 resus with the trustees, it is believed that this letter, together with other facts which will be brought to their attention by the mem- bers of the society throughout the country and who are friendly to this city, will have due effect. A letter is aiso to be prepared for distri- bution among the business men of the city which will give figures showing the strength of the organization in this city and also pen ape about the organization gener- Sorge additions were made to the advisory committee of ministers and laymen who are to co-operate with the committee.

His Name is Scaggs and He Traini Young Thieves. Complaints of petty thefts have annoyed the officers of the third precinct during the past several weeks, and last week Precinct Detective McGlue and Policeman Keleher received from some colored boys informa- tion concerning the alleged operation of a colored man named Paul Scaggs and a crowd of small colored boys. A nickel-in- the-slot machine was stolen from in front of Savoy's cigar store, a child's tricycle had been reported stolen and several blankets disappeared from horses and vehicles left Standing on the public streets. Saturday night the offigers mentioned went in search of the. man, whom they found sigeping in a stable in Sumner alley near 17th and M streets northwest. it was about 2 o'clock Sunday morning when they reached the stavle. Scaggs was found sleeping in the hay loft with a loaded pistol in his pocket, but he was taken so completely by surprise that he did mot even have an opportunity to take the weapon from his pocket and use it or hide it in the hay. After his arrest the officers went in search of the boys who were said to have been trained by Scaggs and they suco making a dozen arrests. ranged from twelve to sixteen years. Three of them are held as witnesses and four of them were tried in the Police Court today for “crap shooting.”” The two larger boys were fined $10 each and the smaller ones were fined $5 or fifteen days. Scages and the three boys will probably appear ir court tomorrow. —— OF PRESBYTERY.
