THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 10, 1895. ONE RECORD BROKEN. Byrne Went a Half Mile at San Jose in 1:01. WAS A WONDERFUL RIDE Interesting Races of State Wheelmen at the Big Meeting. FAST TIME THE DAY'S ORDER. Dow and Smith Made the Tandem Competition Mark for the Coast. SAN JOSE, CaL., Sept. 9.—The Admis- sion day race meet of the Garden City Cyclers attracted a crowd of fully 6000 peo- ple to the groundsof the club this after- noon. The stands were packed with peo- ple, and the audience was composed largely of ladies, who evidenced great ia- terest in the sport. The races were called promptly at 1:30 o'clock. A strong wind on the backstretch made it seem improbable that any records would be lowered, but the men rode their best, and as a result fast time was the rule. | The Garden Citys introduced a novelty which was very much appreciated by the audience and tended to keep the enthusi- asm running high. A first-class band played popular airs during all the races, and while the music tended to distract the press representatives it enthused the racers and made them ride the faster. By the way, the club should provide better accommodations for the newspaper men. Writing on one’s knees in a crowded, shaky bandstand is somewhat difficult and tire- some. i There were six heats of the one-mile handicap, class A, made necessary be- cause the race had seventy-five entries. The heats were all well run and brought twelve good men into the final. They we Freeman (unattached), Squires (Acme), Willoughby (Watsonville), Le- fevre (Acme), Dieckman (Reliance), Holl- ing (Bay City), Downing (Garden City), Gooch (Oakland), Belloli (San Jose), Ac- kerman (Petaluma), Seaward (Garden | City) and Wing (San Jose). The twelve men were well bunched at the second lap and came down the back- stretch together. Wing had the leall won from Ackerman in 2:144-5.

The pace was fast, evidently too fast for | Jones, for he slowed up on the second lap, snd Cushing dropped out. The others would not set pace, and all slowed up to | *almost a standstill. It was evidently a prearranged scheme of Jones and Foster, | the Olympic men, to do up their former club-mate, Long, and the audience soon | discovered their purpose, and hissed them | loudly as they came around the second | time. They loafed around the third lap, and spurted for home from the last two hundred yards. Foster won, Jones sec- ond, but the referee declared it no race, and the decision was loudly applauded. Such tactics tend to disgust the public with bicycle-racing, and as they support it, they are the ones to please. Foster de- clared he would protest the referee’s decis- jon, but Chairman Welch of the racing board stated to THE CALL representative that he thought it would serve no pur- pose, and he would sustain the referee’s decision. When the second final was run Fos- ter refused to compete and so only Jones, Long and Cushing started, follow- ing the tandem in the order named. Cush- ing fell on the first turn, but quickly re- mounted and chased after the others, for which evidence of pluck he was loudly ap- plauded. Jones was awarded the race, though many thought Long won, as he was soclose to him. The time was 2:20 4-5. Cushing was a good third. The mile tandem race, the second ever run on the coast, was interesting as a novelty and fast time was made. The starters were: Dow and Smith, Garden Cily; Benson and Hardenbrook, San Jose Road Club, Reid and Birdsall, Californias. The first-named won the race quite handily in 2:11 4-5, with Benson and Hardenbrook second. The time made is the coast com- petitlon tandem record. These tandem races are interesting and meet-promoters would do well to introduce them more frequently. There were seven heats to the half-mile scratch, there being fifty-one starters. The winner of each heat qualified fcr the final, and the successful ones in their heats were: Squires (Acme), Willoughby(Watsonville), Byrne (Imperial), Edwards (Olympic), Ives (Reliance), Barley (Imperial) and Dieckmann (Reliance). Smith and Dow (Garden City) paced the race on a tandem and made it very fast— so very fast that the world’s competition record for the distance was lowered. Frank M. Byrne of the Imperial Club won the race, and his time was1:01. The best pre- vious performance was that of C. C. Ccl- lins at Denver, August 25 last, whose time was 1:01 4-5, Byrne's ride was wonderful considering the high wind blowing, and he deserved the hearty applause he was accorded. He has long been known as a remarkably fast man in his class, and the Imperials can well be proud of him. The two-thirds of a mile handicap, class B, was divided into two heats, six men in one, five in the other. Jones and Long fought out the first in good style and finished in the order named, Foster taking third. The time was 1:28 1-5. The second heat was not so fast, Tony Delmas winning itin 1:424-5, G. A. Nissen second, Wilbur | Edwards third. The final was a great race between the back mark men for second and third place, as Delmas with his 65 yards handicap was %00 far abead for them to hope to catchl him, and he won as he pleased in 1:34 4-5. Foster barely beat Long at the tape after a great race down the stretch. The following is a summary of the events: Oue-mile handicap, elass A, first heat—H. B.

Taken altogether it was a great day’s sport and the-audience went home satis- fied with having seen the best bicycle races run on this'eoast in many a day. In the forendon the annual parade of the California Associated Cycling Clubs 1d through the principal streets of y. All the various clubs of San Francisco, Oakland and San Jose were represented and many from outside towns. The ciubs rode in the following order: Acme Club Wheelmen, California Cyeling Club, Imperial Cycling Club, Olympic Club Wheelmen, San Jose Road Club, Garden City Cyclers, Royal Cycling Club, San Francisco Road Club, Outing Road Club, Bay City Wheelmen, Reliance Club ‘Wheelmen. The line was reviewed passing the Court- house and two valuable prizes awarded, one for best appearance and another for the largest number in line. The California Cycling Club won the former, and it was generally conceded that they deserved it, as they rode well and looked very attrac- tive in their new uniforms. The Acmes had the largest number in line, forty- three men, and they won the prize by a narrow margin, as the Olympies had forty- two. The judges of the parade were Mayor Austin, H. M. N. Spring and Howard E. Al nder, The officials of the races were: Officer of the day, J. W. Macaulay..G.C.C.: referee, Al Col., G. C. C. Judges—George H. Strong, .; B. R Lozier, B.C. W.; H. A.

HEALDSBURG, CarL., Sept. 9.—The second race meet held under the auspices of the Healdsburg wheeimen. took place yesterday afternoon at Luce’s Park, nearly 1500 people being present. A stiff breeze was blowing and the track was slow, but the events were highly interesting. In the quarter-mile eleven wheelmen entered, Seawell crossing the tape first, Arata second, Wilcox third. Time, 35 sec. The mile handicap brought five men to the front with Budd on the scratch. This was a pretty contest, won by Bond, Gold- man second, Delventhal third. Time, :361. In the half-mile five men started, Cashin taking the race, with Bond second, Arata third. Time, 1:16. A race between Lowry and Fuller, pro- fessionals. was next run. The distance, a %uarter of a mile, was made in 34 sec., ‘uller winning. 1n the five-mile handicap Decker was on the scratch, but he was badly injured by being thrown from his wheel and Delven- thal won, Seawell second, Goldman third. Time, 16:30. The sixth event was the star race of the day. It was a hhlf-mile handicap, with Bond at the scratch and four other start- ers. The race was won by Seawell, although Wilcox, a_youth of 17 years, gave him a hard push down the stretch, and made him finish in 1:10. Cashin was third. In the two-mile handicap Delventhal won, Arata second. Time, 5:26. The race for bicyclists over 40 years of age had but three starters. Those who ex- cted to see a slow race were disappointed, or John Gunn made the distance, a quar- ter of a mile, in 35 sec., Wolcott second. The last race of the day was a half-mile dash between Fuller ana Lowry, won by the former in 1:14. —_—— RACES AT RIVERSIDE. Wheelmen Had Fine Sport on the New Three-Lap Track. RIVERSIDE, CaAL., Sept. 9.—The River- side wheelmen opened the new three-lap track to-day with the best tournament ever held here. Representative wheelmen from all parts of the State were present and the meet was the greatest one yet held by the club. The new track, which was just completed at a cost of $3000, is pro- nounced the best in Southern Oalifornia, if not in the State. Everything connected with the race meet was thoroughly ar- ranged and the systematized programme was carried out to the entire satisfaction of the wheelmen and aueience. Although no records were broken good time was the rule. After the road race in the morning representatives of Southern California cycling clubs met and organized the Asso- ciation of Cycling Clups of Southera Call- fornia. Officers were elected as follows: ©. L. Monaghan of Anabeim, president; 8. J. Castleman of Riverside, Robert Gray of Ontario, E. A. Hornbeck, J. A. Kelley of San Diego, vice-presidents; L. C.

COLUMBUS, Onio, Sept. 9.—Immense crowds attended the opening of the Co- lumbus Driving Park races to-day. Great interest was taken in the surprising work of Dollikins, a new horse, owned by Ed- ward Merkle of this city, who won three successive heats and tfle race in the 2:33- class trot, dropping the time down to 2:17}4. The horse is a gray mare out of Robert McGregor. 2:33 class, trotting, purse $1000, Dolliking won, Lea second, King Rene Jr. third, Best time, 2:1714. 2:15 class, trotting, purse $2000, Rose Leaf x:u, ;Vel\;cn,:lle second, Maud C third.

Corfield Knocked Out Wallace at Shef- field, Eng. SHEFFIELD, E~G., Sept. 9.—Eight thousand persons witnessed a glove-fight between George Corfield of this place and Nunc Wallace of Birmingham. In the opening rounds Wallace led, giving the heavier punishment, but in the fifth and sixth rounds Corfield improved, boxing ina scientific manner, after which Wallace used his right on Corfield’s body. In the tenth round Corfield appeared to be weak, but he seemed to be the better boxer. He resisted Wallace’s rushes, and in the fifteenth round he felled Wallace twice. Thenceforth the fighting was in favor of Cortield, and in the eighteenth round he knocked out the Birmingham mall: with a terrific right-bander in the neck. e s Hartford Wheel Races.

It is very probable that the Mechanics’ Institute Fair will be continued a week longer than was at first intended. The date for closing was set for the 14th inst. and every arrangement was made for following the programme. Within the past few days a large number of the exhibitors have requested that the directors continue the fair for another week, to close about the 19th or 21st. They stated that the first week was devoted principally to getting their exhibits fixed up, which really leaves but three weeks for displaying their goods. The directors are seriously considering the advisability of prolonging the fair. The (zrindpul expense of putting the fair on its feet has already been met, and to add another week will not cost any more than the regular running expenses for gas, music and help. This will be something under §2000 for the week. If all the ex- hibitors make the same request, it will no doubt be granted, but if any of the larger exhibitors take out their exhibits, it will sfioil the general effect. The big circus and the festival at Sacramento have drawn heavily from the fair, which nevertheless bas been well patronized. Between the 14th and the 21st the outside attractiéns will be fo_nc and a still greater patronage of the air is expected. Considering all'of these points, it is more than likely that the fair will run a week longer. There was a mild sensation in the gal- lery last eveniug, caused by a prolonged howl emitted by a long-whiskered gentle- man, evidently from the back country. One of the exhibitors has attached an electric wire to the iron hand rail that sur- rounds the booth. By J»rening a button a mild current is turned into_the rail and those who have their hands upon the metal experience a lively tingling in the hands, The farmer had been standing with his better-half watching the opera- tives for some time, and one of the latter pressed the button. The farmer got his first shock from electricity. He was more surprised than a boY getting his first thrashing and he howled as loudly. Seiz- mgbthe old lady by the shoulder, as soon as he recovered his breath, he started at a lively pace and remarked: people ought to tell us when they are | a-going to drag barbed wire across their fel:c,l; by ’lectricity. Gee whiz! how it cut. A large number of catfish from the Sac- ramento River were added to the aguarium yesterday. On Sunday several black bass Were put in the tank, OLDKENTUCKY HOMES Wide Open at Louisville to the Visiting Veterans. GRAND ARMY MEN RALLY Never Has There Been Such an Assemblage of Old Soldiers. SAILORS TUEN OUT IN FORCE. Members of the Women’s Relief Corps Present at the Great Encampment. LOUISVILLE, Ky., Sept. 9.—The in- vasion of Southland by the Grand Army commenced at daybreak and continued far into the night,with the prospect of still greater hosts for the morrow. Horse, foot and dragoous from the two extremes of the continent, the veterans of the war charged front, flank and rear through the open gates of Louisville and proceeded to avail themselves of the invitation, to be seen on every hand, to make themselves comfortable in an ‘Old Kentucky Home.”” Throughout the day the scenes about the four depots,where thousands had gath- ered to give the visitors greeting, were ex- hilarating and inspiring. Train after train, as fast as they could be switched, deposited their contingents, which marched With military tread to the streets outside,whence with military bands and banners, they were escorted to headquarters. Posts from Texas followed deiegations from New York, the blue of aristocratic Washington rubbed shoulders with hardy veterans from Oregon; and New Jerseyites, as they marched along, renewed acquaintances with comrades from the Hawkeye State. According to present indications the en- campment 1n the matter of attendance will be one of the most successful in the history of the Grana Army. With the excepsion of the ladies of the G. A. R., all of the or- ganizations that will meet in convention this week opened headquarters to-day. Commander-in-Chief Lawler took posses- sion of the main parlor of the Galt House, where from 4 to 6 o’clock he held a recep- tion for the people of Louisville, New Albany and Jeffersonville Next door the fiag of the Women'’s Kelief Corps was dis- played, and National President Margaret Wallace, with her staff, received the visi- tors. The tars of the Naval Veterans’ Asssociation took possession of the boats William Tell and Carrie Hope, and the official fleet was placed in commission at 4 o’clock with the usual naval exercises. At the annual dog watch to-night the ex- sailors were welcomed by Governor Brown and Mayor Tyler, and responses were made by Rear Admiral Allen of Hartford and Shipmate Robinson of Philadelphia. The ex-Prisoners of War established themselves in a wing of Music Hall, where they fraternized with the survivors of the Migsissippi River ram fleet, who will meet in convention to-morrow. To-night Commander Lawler and staff, General C. T. Walker of Indianapolis, the leading candidate to succeed Lawler, ex- Speaker Warren Kiefer of Ohio, Colonel J. M. Schoonmaker and Henry Watterson were banqueted by Colonel Andrew Cowan, since the war a resident of Louisville, and who during the conflict commanded the First New York Battery. Of the arrivals to-day the Old Guard of ‘Washington, with their bearskin chapeaus, and the members of John A. Dix Post of New York, who cut a wide swath with their white helmets and cutaway suits, at- tracted the most attention and divided honors; but to-night both were in danger of eclipse from the celebrated Ransom Post of St. Louis, of which General Sher- man was the first commander and which has carried off the honorsof many previous encampments. The New Hampshire men told of the State they hailed from through the medium of small blocks of granite pendant from their badges, while the Kansans, the advance guard of whom, 1500 strong, came in late to-night, sported a grasshopper with a sunflower suspended from a red ribbon. Despite the fact that the rush to-day more than doubles expectations, there was little confusion or difficulty in housing the delegates, and the plans of the entertain- ment committee worked to a charm. Twenty-five information bureaus were opened during the day, and they were later supplemented by hastily constructed booths at the street corners, where all in- quiries were answered and visitors who had become turned around were put on the right track. Only 3000 assignments to free quarters were made to-day. Elaborate press head- quarters were opened by the local news- paper men, where every facility was afforded the visiting writers. Buffalo has entered the list for the honor of entertaining the next encampment. Among the delegates on the ground Den- ver is the favorite, with St. Paul a close second. e RACES AT SACRAMENTO, Iago Beat Zombro in the Fast- est Mile Heat of the Year. Our Lucky and Dr. Puff Fought a Draw In the 2:27 Class Trot. SACRAMENTO, Car., Sept. 9.—Not- withstanding the many counter attrac- tions an immense crowd visited the track to witness the racing to-day, the fair sex predominating. The favorites had no trouble in hauling off the first two events, but the 2:27 trot furnished a great contest, it being unfinished as darkness drew on. The bright particular star of the day was Tago, winner of the 2:14 trot. The Mon- tana-bred horse put in the first heat so handily in 2:11 that the limit of his speed is a mere matter of conjecture. The con- tending horse throughout this race was Zombro, the crackajack three-year-old, and although defeated he was not dis- graced, for he displayed phenomenal speed, and himself trotted the mile in 2;1134, a performancejeclipsed by but few of his age. That clever reinsman “Tommy” Keating held the ribkons. over Iago, and his work to-day is the fastest mile reeled off in California this year. The . free-for-all trot for four-year-olds, with five starters, opened the day’s racing. The easily moving Visalia was a prohibi- tive favorite, the books quoting her at 1 to 10 for the race. She took the first heat without effort by a length in 2:15, after John Bury had headed her to the stretch for home. The latter made a bad break a sixteenth from home and was beaten fully ten lengths by Nellie W for second place. The favorite went in the air shortly after the word was given in the second heat and her driver, Perkins, took matters easy the rest of the heat. John Bury took the heat from Nellie W in2:15%, with the first choice third. John Bury was unsteady in the follow- ing two heats and the favorite captured both without trouble, taking the race and first money. In the last heat theeéudzes gave the word, but suddenly changed their minds and rang the be!ll to come back. Connelly, who was up behind Nellie W, kept right on, chased by the others, and as the result of the heat did not materially alter the aspect of the race it stood. The 2:14 trot signaled the reappearance of Williams & Morehouse’s Iago, who has been shelved for some time, and he took into camp that cracking good five-year-old Zombro, who, although obliged to bow to defeat, trotted a grand race, finishing but alength back in the first heat, trotted in the fast time of 2:11, which ranks him right up with the top-notchers. In the overnight auctioning Saturday evening, the three-year-old sold favorite, but to-day Iago had the call, bringing $40 against $22 iordZombro, $11 for Boodle and §8 for the field. In the first heat Zombro had the pole, and when the judges gave the word he and lago went to the front and trotted asa team until nearing the half, which was reached in 1:04)4, where Zombro was slightly in the lead. Tago, however, was the more seasoned, and outtrotted his younger competitor in the stretch, taking the heat by a length. Pools then sold: Iago $20, Zombro $9, Boodle §4¢ and the field $4. In their next heat, Keating at once went to the front with Iago and led throughout, winning by two lengths in 2:1214. Zombro, who had been trotting gamely in second position, tired badly in the stretch, and was outfooted by Stam B, who took second place in the heat. o lago captured the third and cancludm§ heat without effort in 2:13%{ and in a har drive Zombro just managed to beat Stam B by a head, taking second money. The last event on the card, the 2:27 trot, was the most stubbornly fought contest of the day, and after Our Lucky and Dr. Puff each bad two heats to his credit, darkness coming on comfipelled a postponement and the two will fight it out to-morrow atl o’clock. Before the first heat Our Lucky brought $20, Jasper Paulson $20, Dr. Puif $16 and the tield $10. The first heat resulted in a victory for Our Lucky, who proved himself a second Klamath in the stretchs He came like a rocket at the finish and took the heat by three lengths from Lady Vestalin 2:19, with Jasper Paulson third. Dr. Puff and Jasper Paulson fought the second heat out, Our Lucky making a bad break just after passing the half pole. Dr. Puff gained the verdict by a short head in 2:2087. The third heat went to Our Lucky, who came out a 3 to 5 chance in the books for the heat. Coming with an electrical burst of speed in the stretch, he downed Dr. Puff a nead in a very exciting finish. The heat was trotted in 2:17}4. Alter this ?ursLucky sold for $20 and the entire field or $5. The favorite met with misfortuneat the outset. Sullivan pehind Dr. Puff cut him off rounding the first turn, sending him to a break, and he lost a. dozen lengths. Dr. Puff then had things his own way, for al- though Our Lucky came through the stretch to the wire with a marvelous showing of speed, he was beaten a length in 2:19. The race was then postponed.

SANTA MONICA, Car., Sept. 9.—The first day of the annual race meeting of the Southern California Polo Club drew a large and fashionable audience to the race- track, which was surrouded by the equip- ages of the four hundred and four thou- sand. And it was hard to determine which set enjoyed the fun most. The races were excellent and the time fast, taking into consideratiop that the track is a slow one. The first event, the Arcadia polo veunv race, half mile, had for starters W. H. Young’s Sheila, A. A. Alvord’s Jack Pot and G. L. Waring’s Wonder. It was close and exciting from start to finish, Jack Pot winning, with wonder secona Sheila third. Time, :5614. The Meramor handicap, three-quarters of a mile, saw five horses at the starter’s })‘ost. W. H. Young’s” Rita, P. D. Marten’s ady Jane Grey, C. L. Waring’s Santa Clara and Kittiwake and L. D. Loomis’ Chip. This, like the first race, was a close one, but the closeness was between Santa Clara and Kittiwake, both of the Waring stables, there being a scod-nntured de- termination on the part of each jokeys to ‘“‘down” the other. Santa Clara won, Kittiwake second, Lady Jane Grey third, Rita fourth. In the surf stakes, one mile, for horses, there were three starters, Sleepy Charley, Hello and Pdvilion. Sleepy Charley was the favoriteJn thepools, but he was not in the race; Hello winning, with Pavilion second and Sleepy Charley last. Time, 1:5034. - A hali-mile swee&)stake, open, was the next race, in which Geronomo, Little Belle, John Day Zin and Monkey were the entries.

HORRORS IN ARMENIA Fresh Outrages Have Been Committed by the Turks. BRIGANDS CAUSED THEM Attack of a Band Upon the Gendarmes Led to Great Slaughter. TERRIBLE ONSLAUGHT ENSUED. One Thousand Troops Sacked Five Vlillages and Rendered Thou- sands Homeless. LONDON, Exa.,Sept. 9.—The Daily News will to-morrow publish a dispatch from | Kars stating that fresh outrages have been | perpetrated in the Erzinziian district. A band of brigands attacked on August 12 a company of Turkish gendarmes, killing a sergeant. Therefore, the Turkish authori- ties, without making any inquiry, decided that the assailants were Armenian revolu- tionaries from Kemakh, who intended to release exalted Armenians who are still in prison at Kars. A force of 1000 Turkish trcops was sent | to Kemakh, and five villages were pil- laged. Five thousand persons were ren- dered homeless. Men were tortured and women and children assailed. Four mon- | asteries were sacked. It is reported that | the Turkish officers have formed an anti- Christian society to slaughter Christians if the Porte accepts the scheme of reforms the powers insist upen. NEW YORK, N. Y., Sept. 9.—Herant M. Kiretchjian, general secretary of the | Armenian Association, has given out to the press the following letter, containing a direct communication from the valley of Moosh, being an extract from a private letter dated in August: “The remnant of the people from the Sassoun region have returned to their vil- lages. They are rebuilding the ruins, but the Government is raising obstacles, so that the rebuilding may be retarded. The Government has let loose the Bakrantsi Kurds over the hills of Sassoun. Our people who have returned to their ruined villages are in terror and dismay. Kurds who are friendly with our village have sent us word, saying, ‘For the love | of God, arise and flee, that you | may save your lives. The Government has brought the Bakrantsi Kurds for the pur- pose of utterly exterminating what is left of your people.” This has thrown the peo- ple into great anguish. Last year they had some arms to defend themselves. | This year they have no meansof protec- | tion and are in utter extremity of misery. ‘We see no hope of assistance from God or | from man.” This helps to explain the meaning of a | dispatch to the London Daily Telegraph to the effect that the horrors of the present | famine around the whole region of the massacre are aggravated by the peasants of a portion of the Sassoun district,who, not having enough land to raise wheat, suffer for their sustenance and were in the habitof purchasing the remainder from Diarbekir in exchange for fruit and other products they could raise. But now, with hostile | Kurdish tribes, that were leaders of the massacres of last year, infesting the coun- try, the Armenians dare not venture out of their villages for fear of being attacked. The friends of the Armenian cause will | well appreciate the value and importance of speedy relief for a peasantry without homes or provisions, and soon to be ex- posed to the rigor of the snowstorms of a long highland winter. — INTERRIBLE CONDITION Residents of One District in Cuba Are Said to Be Starving.

JACKSONVILLE, FraA., -Sept. 9.—A cablegram to the Times-Union from Key ‘West, Fla., says: Private advices received in this city from Cuba state that the situ- ation in the province of Santa Clara is something terrible.

HERE ARE FEW NEWSPAPER WRITERS Ttbnt are blessed with the knack of saying just what peopie want most toread in a few words, and there are others again who can never interest you if they write steen columns. But as & class perhaps they are abple to say more with fewer words when occasion requires than any other class of writers, and this is simply all suggestive of the fact that to judge by the pithy way in which Mr. William A. Rus- sell of Machias, Wash., writes, he might be a successful newspaper man. But he is not. In- deed, he is not & newspaper man atall. Not a great while ago Mr. Russell was on the way to- “that bourne from which no man re- turneth,” and it seemed all too likely thatt would not be eble to stop the insidious disease which was striving to carry off & good man as well as & highly respected citizen. Butheisa long way from death’s door now, thanks to the skill of Professor Hudson and his corps of highly skilled assistants. 3fr. Russell was a very, ve: man when he went to that grand old institute at the junction of Market, Stockton and Ellis streets, but there is skill to be found there which to not a few seems little short of the magical, so splendidly do they at- tend to each cuse. This is what Mr. Russe bas seen fit to write to the managers of the famous institution. Itiswell worth reading: HUDSON MEDICALINSTITUTE—Gentlemen: Yourtreatment is thoroughly reliable, and I crave your pardon 1or not giving you any intimation ot the satisfactory results cbtained before this date. I shall be glad to recommend any of my friends Who may stand in need of your treaiment. Please sccept my heartfelt thanks for the kindness you have dome me. 1 feel very grateful and happy over the change, for it has much to do with my domestic happiness. T only regret that I am not able to pay you ten times your fee, or aid to bring all who need vour treatment to obtain its bene- fits. Iam frank to say that it is the greatest thing of the age.and I will be able to doyon a good deal of good, which I will take pleasure in doing. T shall recommend the Hudson Medical Institute to all I find suffering. _Yours respectfully, WILLTAM A. RUSSELL. Machles, Wash., April 20, 1895, That is as good an indorsement as could be given to any man to any corporation or indi- vidual, and when it is followed up by many thousands in the same strain is it any wonder that the Hudson Medical Institute is thronged by sufferers from all parts of the Union? William Glenn of Mountain Home, Idaho, writes: “The second week has brought with it all the encouragement possible. Health and vigor have begun to show themselves.” F. F. Bartels of Oroville: *I am altogether & new man to what Iwaswhen I commenced taking your medicines.” F. Clyde of Victoria, B. C., says: “I hardly know how to thank you for what you have done for me so far. I am just about cured.” T. I Graham writes: 1 pleased to say than I do not require any more medicine. I am & new man—something that I never ex- pected to be again.” L. M. Christie: “I think it is my duty to tell suffering humanity that if they will put them- selves under your treatment they can get relief and get cured, t0o.” When expressions of opinion of this nature rain in on the specialists at the most famous institute of its kind in the Union it is not strange that those who are ill feel that there is always some hope if their case is taken by the specialists there, for they cure all curable dis- eases “QUICKLY, QUIETLY, SCIENTIFICALLY AND SAFELY.” All the Fo!lowingTases Are Carablo: Catarrh of the head, siomach or bladder; all bronchial d'seases; all functional pervous dis- eases: St. Vitus’ dance: hysteria: shaking palsy; all venereal dis 11 kinds of biood wastes of vital rheuma- n dis rom what- ; all : ; lost or im ouble; nervons exhau pient pares 3 ciatica; all bladder troubles: dyspepsia; in- | digestion; constipation: all visceral disorders, | which are treated by the depurating departments.

Numerous bands of insurgents are re- ported near San Juan de las Syras, in Las Villas district. A band of 200 insurgents entered the town of Comaito, in Las Villas district, routed a detachment of soldiers and carried off several hundred head of horses. A band of Cubans, commanded by Ber- neau Ferngndez, attacked a company of troops commanded by a sergeant at the sugar station San Rafael, near Remedios, | on August 29, killing the sergeant and | nine soldiers, and capturing all their arms and ammunition. Six hundred insurgents, commanded by Pedro- Diaz and Napoleos, attacked the town of Remeates, near Remedios, on August 30. After exchanging a few shots they withdrew. Maria Rodriguez, with a large band, is reported advancing toward Sagua La Grande and Colon. On September 1, Serafin Sanchez and band were encamped near the town of Banto Esirito. Jose Barron, a prominent Spanish cavalry captain, died of yellow fever at Sancti Spiritus. On August 31 the insurgents attacked the town of Campichuela, Bantiago de Cuba. After fighting an hour the Cubans commenced to retreat and the troops fol- lowed. Then the insurgents turned on them, killing 46.
