"Why They Called Uim Mary.
Two young Phlladelphians , who
were introduced to each other by a
friend of both the other day , scrutin
ized each other closely , and then one
of them said : "I think I used to know
you. Didn't we sail together on the
Bchoolship Saratoga about twelve
years ago ? " "Yes , I remember you
very well now , " replied the other.
"You weren't as tough as the rest of
us. We thought you were a dude.
We called you Mary , didn't we ? " "Yes ;
I remember the nickname perfectly. "
"Why did they call you Mary ? " ask
ed the mutual friend. "To the best of
my recollection , " said the young man
who had been so named , "it was be
cause I used a tooth brush ! " The
two former shipmates laughed heartily
as they recalled the old , careless days.
Has Lived in Three Centuries.
Another of the three-century cen
tenarians , who is quite ready for her
obituary , is Mrs. ElizabethHunt , of
Brooklyn , who , by the record in the
family Bible , was born 101 years ago
Saturday , and though her sight and
memory are failing , she is out every
'day and her delight is taking trolley
trips.

, Sirs. Madison's Case.
Polk City , la. , Oct 14th. For over
ten years Mrs. Elizabeth P. Madison ,
a respected lady of this place has sufl
fered most severely with Kidney
trouble complicated with derange
ments of the bowels and liver. Rheu
matism another painful result of de
ranged Kidneys added its tortures to
'
her burden of pain.
Treatments and medicines without
number were tried ; physicians also
exhausted their skill , but all to no
.purpose.
At this stage of the case a treat
ment of Dodd's. Kidney Pills was re
sorted to and the results were simply
miraculous , from the very first box an
improvement was noticed and the
continued treatment resulted in a
complete cure.
This remarkable cure created a de
cided sensation in the neighborhood
because of the complications of the
case as well as its severity and appar
ent hopelessness.
"Upon investigation Dodd's Kidney
Pills are found to be the only remedy
that has ever cured Bright's Disease ,
Diabetes or Dropsy and these hitherto
incurable diseases are readily con
quered by this remarkable remedy.

CROPS
North Dakota has just harvested awon
derful crop of heat and flax. Reports
from the various railway points along the
"Soo" Line show yields of 25 to 38 bushels
to the acre of wheat , and from 15 to 20
hushels of flax per acre. Flax is now
bringing $1.25 per bushel. Most of the
crop was raised on newly broken land , so
that the first crop pays for the farm and
all the labor , and leaves a handsome profit.
There is still plenty of good free govern
ment land open for entry ; also good open
ings to go into business in the new towns
along the "Soo" Line. For descriptive cir

Bans Into Hornet's Nest After
Anchoring Becomes a Target.
COLON , Colombia , Oct. 9. A force
of liberals , numbering at least 250 , at
tacked Morro Island , commanding the
entrance to the port of Tumaco , Sep
tember 24. The island had all along
been garrisoned with fewer than 100
troops , well supplied with arms , am
munition and commissary stores , in
cluding more than 150 head of cattle
and other provisions in proportion.
The landing was effected before day
break by means of canoes. Simultan
eously the island was stormed from
the other end by liberals on the main
land. Morro island is surrounded by
shallow sandbanks and the only means
of approaching Tumaco is by the Nar
row river , which is within easy range
of the island.
The British steamer Quito , bound
from Guayaquil , Ecuador , for Panama ,
and touching at ports between , an
chored off Morro island on the night
of September 26 and weighing anchor
at daybreak , started up the stream to
ward Tumaco. The liberals fired a
shot across its bows. Suspecting the
situation it immediately turned , but
rifle shots and one cannon continued
to be fired at it , the former striking
the boat several times and the latter
once , the ball making a hole right
through above the water mark , though
the damage in other respects was
slight.
Quito then steamed to the fartherest
point the tide would permit and again
anch'ored. The firing was now re
sumed , but it ceased after a few min
utes , the liberals having discovered
the imprudence of their action.
It is significant that shortly after the
Quito incident became known the Brit
ish warship Icarus left Panama for a
destination not made public , but pre
sumably Tumaco. The steamship
agents have been officially notified ant
to accept freight at the port.
TREATY IS IN f REE SPIRIT.
Neither Uncle Sam Nor John Bull Blake
any Beal Sacrifice.
WASHINGTON , Oct. 9. There has
been no surrender by England to the
United States in the matter of the new
Isthmathian canal treaty , according to
the best authorities here. It is said
to be equally true that the United
States has sacrificed no principle in
these negotiations. It is said that
what actually had happened is that
each side has preserved the underly
ing principle of the Clayton-Bulwer
treaty and the new convention will
provide for a waterway , neutral at all
times and open to commerce of the
world. The Clayton-BulWer treaty ,
however , drawn half a century ago ,
has proved to be defective in mechan
ism for giving effect to this purpose.
The new treaty simply provides this
mechanism. England is relieved from
the guaranty , which in its case was
only troublesome and which , being as
sumed by the United States in toto ,
is quite as effective.
As viewed from the American point
of view even , there was no surrender
on England's part in seeking this re
lief , inasmuch as the above men
tioned principle is reiterated and af
firmed as binding upon the United
States. As for the form of the treaty
It may be stated that it embodies in
substance the amendments to the
Hay-Pauncefote treaty which was
signed by the senate and beyond that
the changes are believed to be text
ual arather than substantial.
