Every Sufferer From Catarrh EKnows That Salves, Lotions, Washes, Sprays and Douches Do Not Cure. Powders, lotions, salves, sprays and in- halers cannot really cure Catarrh, because this disease it a blood disease, and local applications, if they at all, simply give iransient relief. The catarrhal poisor is in the biood and the mucous membrane of the nose, throat and trachea tries to relieve the system by secreting large guantities of mucus, the discharge sometimes closing up the nos- trils. dropping into the throat. causing deafness by closing the Eustachian tubes, and after a time causing catarrh of stom- ach or serious throat and lung troubles. A remedy to really cure caterrh must be an internal remedy which will cleanse the blood from catarrhal poison and re- move the fever and congestion from the mucous membrane. The best and most modern remedies for this purpose are antiseptics scientifically known as Eucalyptol, Gualacol, San- guinaria and Hydrastin, and while each of these have been successfully used sep- arately, yet it has been difficult to get them all combined in one palatable, con- venient and efficient form. The manufacturers of the new catarrh cure, Btuart’s Catarrh Tablets, have suc- ceeded admirably in accomplishing this result. They are large, pleasant tasting lozenges, to be olved in the mouth, thus reaching every membrane of the throat and finaliy the stomach Unlike many catarrh remedies, Stuart's rh Tablets contain no cocaine, oplate « or any injurious drug whatever and are equaily beneficial for iittle children and adults My.

Oakland Office San Franciseo Call, 1118 Broadway, Nov. 21 The worst storm that ever swept over Oakland struck the town last night, to the great damage of electric light, tele- graph and telephone wires, trees, fences and a few buildings. That it was actually the worst storm is shown by the official records of the Chabot Observatory, which registered the velocity of the wind as forty-nine miles an hour. There have been only two other occa- sions when the wind reached a velocity that was of sufficlent importance to make recording worth while. One was on Jan- | uary 4, 1895, when it blew forty miles an hour, and again on January 10, 1889, when it blew forty-ome miles an hour.” Last night between the hours of 12:30 and 1:30 in the morning the wind reached the greatest velocity. The local rain gauge shows an unusual rainfall as well. During the twenty-four hours ending at noon to-day 2.12 inches | of rain fell, according to the Sanborn gauge, making a total of 6.37 inches of rain for the present season as against 10.18 inches for the same period last sea- son. The wind did very general damage in Oakland last night,” unlike the storm of Friday night of last week. which seemed to strike only in one place.

One life was lost and thousands of dollars damage to property has been sustained. Some time during the ni camping for a week onjhe marsh below the broad gauge depot was pinned down under the wreckage of his overturned | wagon and drowned in the shallow water covered the marsh. Evidently he had been sleeping in the wagon when the avy wind overturned the vehicle. From appearances he had made a hard struggle to extricate himself. His body was dis- covered this morning and removed to the morgue, where it awaits identification. In book found in the wagon the name Black appears, as does the record of several purchases made at Santa Cruz on October 15 ‘The unknown was a chain- | mender and tool-sharpener, about 5 feet | & inches in height, of light complexion and about 38 years old. The storm did great damage throughout the country. Fences, barns and outbuild- ings on many of the ranches were de- stroyed and at Sausalito and Tiburon old- timers pronounce it the heaviest storm that has ewex} the bay shore in twenty- five years. 1 telegraph and telephone lines from this city up the coast are down and the Bolinas road was covered by fallen trees. which delayed the stage sev- eral hours. At Bausalito many small boats were lost and wharves and floats were in some instances ruined. e sloop Cygnus, owned by Dr. Edward Hill, was driven across the bay on to the rocks of the west side of Belvedere. The large yawl Royal was sunk on the west side of the narrow gauge railroad wharf. Only her masts are visible above the water. Captain Johnson's boat landing was ruined and he lost several small boats. Charles Forrest lost several small boats and a large float. The unfinished house of Peter Wellnitz | at Old Sausalito was blown down, as was the nearly completed house of Alfred Willford. The latter fell with a crash | that startled the whole town. The dam- | age here will amount to several thousand dollars, i Last night several fishermen were res- cued more dead than alive by the soldiers at Punta Cavallo.

The_ schooner scow Caroline, laden with sand, was caught in the storm and driven into the cove at Belvedere. Being unable to save her, an attempt was made to run her ashore, 'but she sank in_the water be- tween the drawbridge and Belvedere. The ark La Boheme, owned by Mark Howell of San Francisco, broke from her moor- ings and knocked down several cottages on the beach at Belvedere. She then cut off a portion of a wharf owned by Eugene Davis and damaged a cottage owned by the Belvedere Land Company and occu- pled by Edward Clough. T¥le ark was picked up near the drawbridge this morn- ing, Xudlyl ld‘:mld‘eg. t Angel Island the storm played havoq with the small buildings.

St g | MIRACULOUSLY ESCAPE DEATH. | Terrible Tortures Endured by the U, Oct. 23.—When the story od of blood and massacre in China is told, few of its chapters will be as thrilling as the narrative of the Green party, who were rescued by the allicd expedition. The tale of their hardship and abuse and almost miraculous preservation has leaked to the outer world by piece- meal, but to the correspondent of the As- sociated Press its detalls of suffering and cruelty were told for the first time by Miss Grieg. Mr. and Mrs. Green, mem- | { bers of the British-Chinese Inland Mis. | sion, with their two children, a boy and a girl aged five and three years. and Miss Grieg, an assistant, were stationed at Huai-Lu, a small town 120 miles south of this place. During the first week of July news of the_massacre was received in Paoting-Fu and also news of the destruc- tion of the mission at Shunti-Fu, Chao- | chon and Shonyang, and of the moving of the troops from the Shangsi Province toward Tientsin to attack the forelgners. | On hearing of the state of affairs the lit- | tle party moved away to the mountains, | on the advice of the mandarin, to go into hiding. They took with them only a few bare necessities, carrying the children asleep in their arms, and were conducted by two or three Chinese servants to a Chi- nese temple a short distance back in ths hills. Here they remained two days, and were then informed by the villagers who used the temple that they must at once leave. They were also told that thelr home had been destroyed and the site made the headquarters of a Boxer camp. Some friendly Chinese showed the party [a small cave a little distance from the temple, where they remained secreted for | two days and three nights, suffering the | utmost discomforts, their hiding place be- ing only about six feet by four, with | water dripping unceasingly from the roof. | While the party lay in the cave the Box- ers were seen and heard searching the mountains for the ‘“foreign devils.” On the third day their servants discovered them and led them to a farm hut, where the entire party lived in one smail room for a month, not daring to stir from their retreat in the daytime and only with the | greatest caution at might. On August 13 the Boxers discovered their hiding place, from which their host had made a tunnei to a cave a short Jistance away. The Boxers demanded that the little band be given up to them.

On hearing thelr benefactor being beat- en and tortured, Mr. Gieen determined to give himself up and do what he could to save his wife and litlle ones and Miss Gne% As the missionary appeared at the mouth of the cave he was immediatel shot in the face with a charge of fine pei- lets.

Then occurred a strange incident. * Boxer Pleads for Prisoner. | The chief Boxer himself pleaded for his prisoners and induced Ting Yuen to come | and speak to Mr. Green. He expressed sorrow at seeing the condition of the prisoners, and said he would send them to Tientsin under an escort of imperial 0 troops and with official passports. He also offered to provide them wit.. sufficient money to secure food on the journey. | That morning they were taken to a boat, | but found neither troops nor passports. They were, in fact, again in the hands of the Boxers, who took them some thirty miles down the river, and on Wednesday afternoon landed them in a marsh cov- ered with high reeds and informed them that Ting Yuen had ordered that they should be put to death and their bodies disposed of. At this time the children were undoubtedly the means of saving the lives of the entire party. for the same Boxer who had previously interceded for them and had cvidently concelved a great fondness for the little ones, cried and told tsi® alone. He then left them and took the boat away. The money which had been provided for their subsistence was in the copper cash of the country and was too bulky to carry: therefore the little band was left entirely helpless in a vast swamp. To add to their misery violent storms arose. and toward evening as they shivered in their hiding place they heard bands of BoXers scouring the swamp in search of them, their presence having been discovered by some villagers. As night fell, Mr. Green, almost helpless from his wounds. made his way, accom- panied by his party, to a house, and was told by the owner that a friend of his would take them to Tientsin. Then he left ostensibly to get a boat and make arrangements for their escape. After a while the villager returned, bringing, not the promised aid, but a large party of Boxers. The mob burst in the door of the hut and unmercifully beat with swords and staves Mr. Green, the women and children. Another Cruelty in Stqre. Almost insensible, despairing and hope- less, the devoted little party gave up, but other cruelty was in store for them. The Boxers decided to take their captives to means of transporting and torturing them at the same time. was bound to his left foot; Mrs. Green and Miss Grieg were tied hands to feet, left hand to left foot and right hand to right foot, and the little girl was treated in the same way.

At one of these arroyos Mr. Quinn's hat and whip were found. The rainstorm during the night temporarily flooded the arroyo, and the arty, surmising that Mr. Quinn might ave been drowned, searched the ravine. About a mile below the crossing where his at and whip were picked up his body was found. There was a bruise on one temple, which evidently resulted from a fall from the wagon. Whether he was kllledfiléy stunned and lay in the ravine until the flood waters rose after the storm, may never be known. GENTLE ZEPHYR FANS CHICO. Large Section of Roof Blown From the Iron Works.

Carrying his life in his hands. he made | his way _to Tientsin and reported the mat- ter to General Lorne-Campbell, the Brit- ish commander. General Lorné-Campbell immediately wrote to the Fanti of Pao- ting-Fu, threatening reprisal should any | harm befall the Greens or Miss Grlrg.l Upon receipt of this message Ting Yuen sent an official to Sinan to fétch the cap- tives to Paoting-Fu for safe keeping. This | official was_informed at Sinan_that the party had been sent away. In reality they were then secluded in a small room in the temple because oi the increasing demand of the constantly swelling Boxer mob that the women be handed over to | them. The messenger from the Fanti was | finally told that if he went to Angchou the prisoners would be delivered to him. | Final Rescue by the French. On September 5 the prisoners were taken to Angchou and delivered to Ting Yuen's representatives, put on a boat and ar- rived at Paoting-Fu September 6. Here they were put in the common prison and confined for four days. On receipt of an- | [ other letter from the British commanding | officer at Tientsin, they were removed to a smalil_house and accorded better treat- ment. In this house they remained until| the arrivai of the French column on Oect- | ober 13.
