Faultless Family Heflicine
"I have used Simmons Liver Kegula
tor for many years, having niuilc it
my only Family Medicine. My moth
er before nie was very partial to it.
It is a safe, good and reliable medi
cine for any dworder of the system,
and if used in time is a grcit jre
ventutice of sickness. I often recom
mend it to my friends, and shall con
tinue to do KO.
"liev. James M. Kollins,
"Pastor M. E. Church So. Fairfield, Va."
TIME AND DOOTOE'3 BILLS SAVED
by always keeping Simmons Licer
Regulator in the house.
"I have found Simmons Liver Regu
lator the best family medicine I ever
used for anything that may happen,
have used it in Ixdiukstiox, Colic,
Di.iKitHOSA, Biliocsnkss, and found
it to relieve immediately. After eat
ing a hearty supper, if, on going to
bed, I take about a teaspoonful, I
noTcr feel tho effects of the supper

Port Arthur being the only vessel at
tempting to face the gale which raged
on Lake Superior yesterday. Captain
Anderson stated that the boat never ex
perienced such a trip. The Lake Super ior
Transit company's steamer, Indiana,
with two other yessels are weatherbound
at "Whisky Bay and nine at "Whisky Point.
Air vessels dare not go into such seas.
A t errible northwest gale started Saturday
morning and Sunday changed to a north
east gale, accompanied by a blinding
snow storm. A dredge, which started in
tow of tug from Saginaw, has not been
heard from. She was to leave tlie falls
of Presque Island two hours behind the
propellor Egyptian, which arrived here
Sunday and fears are expressed for their
safety. No other disasters are reported

scene in their boats.

swept over this city this morning, the
wind attaining a maximum velocity of
sixty-six miles per hour. One house was
blown down. Shade trees, signs and
windows suffered terribly. No serious
damage reported from the lakes.

F. Joy, ore laden for Erie, and leaking
badly, attempted to anchor outside this
harbor, but broke away and drifted on
the rocks outaide of the piers, and sank
in twenty feet of water. The crew was
saved by small boats.
Cleveland, Oct. 24. The three mast
ed schooner Zack Chandler, of Cleveland,
was driven on the bar off Xoble station

and .lour, ran ashore in the terrible storm

valued at $100,000.
Marcji-ette, Mich., Oct. 21. The
barge Plymouth is ashore. Her crew is
still on boanl and connot get ashore on
account of the high cliffs. A heavy sea
prevents the rescuers from getting near
the wreck, but it is thought the tug will
take Iheni off as soon as the sett moder
ates. The crew of the Alva Bradley can
not reach shore owing lo the loss of their
small boat. It is thought the vessel will
hold together long enough to enable lil'e-
rsavers to rescue the crew. A dispatch
received from Point Judith about 4
o'clock by Captain "Waters says: "The
Portsmouth is (-ending up signals, but
they cannot be read."

to be the training ship Port-iiiioulh, which
sailed from New York yesterd.iy. All
life saving crews within reach are bciug
hurried to the scene. The ship has k-v-several
hundred souls on board and
should her anchors drag a large loss of
life is feared, as she will drift upon dan
gerous rocks off Point Judith. Admiral
Luce has scut the Dolphin to render all
possible assistance to the training rhip.
Newport, R. I., Oct. 24. The dispatch
boat, Dolphin, which was sent to rescue
the imperilled school ship, came into har
bor about 0 o'clock to n 'lit and sig
nalled that all was well. From the Dol

dangered ship was not the Portsmouth,
but the Saratoga. The wind had got
around into the northwest and the Sara
toga had got up her anchors and laid her
course for New York.

HOWES OF LITERARY FQLK.
A Pern at tlie loa;e.-,' ieity of ?Ion and
Uoint a V.'ho AVrilc for tlie JPublie.
Curiosity about tho vivos of literary moil
or tho husbands of literary women never dies
out,sod?02 rv..-tx! i.? the impressio.-i that genius
or even moderate talent is unco' hard to live
wi'.h. TLo wife of Charles Dudley Warner is
an attractive woman, hand'nie, int iv -v 1 in
tho Lest thought of the time. The coui.Ij ;.ro
childless, but thoroughly h:o-py in th ir
ho.no. Anna Kathcrino Ore en, the writer of
the "Leavenworth Case,'' and others smmy
tli3 best known detoctive storit s of t he tbiiO,
is tho mother of a family of little cLil h n,
handsome sturdy youiij.-ster.j devoted to their
pretty mamma. Mrs. RohJfs, as she signs
herself when sho doesn't uss her pen name, is
the best of housekeepers in her homo in South
Urocklyn, and her husband guards her Iei::;uv
with zealous care. 13ro!i.;on Iiowurd and his
wi fc rav always seen together, and are a de
voted pair. Mrs. Kate Upson Clarke is us
cozily domestic in her tastes as if she hud
never touched a pen.
Mrs. Laura Ilolloway has made herself a
homo by her literary work, and keeps it a
cheery plaeo for her ;rrow:i son, who looks
too big to call her mother. Mrs. Reheeca
Harding Davis, whoso short stories are a:t
to have a melancholy turn, is a vivacious
body, a thorough optimist to all appearance,
with a son who has reached man's estate.
She and her husband, Mr. L. Clark Davis, of
The Philadelphia Inquirer, arc a home loving
couple, and their house is full of sunshine.
Clara Lanza, or, to give her her full title,
tha Marquise Lanza do Mcreato Blanco, has
little peoplo pretty enough to call so beauti
ful a woman mother, and her home on
Seventy-third street is furnished with a rare
feeling for color and harmony. It is a very
dainty abiding place, and has a homo look
withal. Mrs. Livermcre is a grandmother
of the first order, and her grandchildren
swing on the gate of her big old house in
Melrose rmreproved. Julian Hawthorne is
the Lest of huubaSds, and there are seven
children in his home. Cable hus half a
dozen young folks and a serene home life.
Marion Ilarland is as notable a housewife
in fact as on paper, and paints and em
broiders with considerable skill. Mrs. Bur
nett sent her husband abroad with her earn
ings to finish his studies as an oculist, and
tho pair are one in their devotion to old
armor and various antique bric-a-brac and
to their two fine looking sons. Frank Stock
ton's wife is a clever woman, and Steven
son's wife has something of a Literary repu
tation of her own. Ilowelis makes a fresh
study of his wife for every one of his hero
ines, and it is putting the severest test to
their domestic happiness to say that she
doesn't resent it. Louise Chandler Moulton
has a very charming daughter, and she and
hc-r husband, Mr. "William C. Moulton, of
The Boston True Flag, are an entirely united
couple. Mrs. Lucy Lillio has adopted a
couple of children because the mother in
stinct was so strong in her. Literary mar
riages are not such bad things after alL
Kansas City J ourr.al.
A Great Favor Granted.
Mrs. Breezy (to daughter) Did you tell
young Mr. "Wal Jo", dear, that you would cor
respond with him on his return to Bos-ton?
Miss Breezy Yes, mamma, he has been so
polite to me white in Chicago, you kn ,w, and
seemed so seriously in earnest when he asked
me if he might not hear from me occasion
ally, that what could I say, mamma, but "let
her go, Gallagher f New York fc3un.
