Til mkU Jfe 1 There's a greater defflatid lnade on the strength of the mother when nursing than at any other time. She has j ust gone through the shock and strain of materni ty, her vitality is at its lowest and the food she eats must nourish two lives. The natural re sult is that, the mother looks around for a "tonic," and gen erally finds her tonic in the form of a stimu lant, which not only gives the mother no real strength but is an It is the concurrent testimony of women who have used Dr. Pierce's Favorite Pre scription, that it is the most perfect pre paration for motherhood and all its func tions which has ever been discovered.

With this, condition comes 7a healthy flow of nourishment for the child, hich enables the mother to gratify the fondest instinct of maternity. " Two years ago I used two bottles of Doctor Pierce's Favorit Prescription, and in. April a nice baby was born, before the doctor came," writes Mrs. Katie Auliker.of 754 Pat Street, Alli ance, Ohio. " I was not very sick. Baby is now 14 months old and weighs 30 pounds. Now, I expect another about August, and I am again taking the 'Favorite Prescription' and feel very wefi. Several neighbors are using Dr. Pierce's medicine through my telling them -about it. One lady says, 'before: commencing Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription I had to vomit every day, but after I got the medicine, from the ' first spoonful that I took, I stopped vomiting.' It has done the same thing for me. It is a God send for women." ; 1 No alcohol in any form, is contained in "Favorite Prescription;" neither opium nor other narcotics.

C, June 9 The State Treasurer this morning delivered to the Wachovia Loan and Trust Company, of Winston, 110 four per cent. North Carolina consolidated bonds, in denomination . of $1,000 each. These bonds are in lieu of the $110,000 of penitentiary -bondslrecently issued , and sold to the Wachovia Loan and Trust CompanyVThe bonds had been sold with the understanding that they should be delivered at once, but on account of inability of the en graver to do the work at once the de livery of the bonds was postponed until yesterday. The trust company had been promised positively , that it should have them on that day; and re lying on that promise had sold a great part of them at a premium. The pur chasers . wanted them immediately. But instead of the bonds, Treasurer Worth yesterday received the follow ing telegram: ' Kegret necessity for re-engraving bonds, causing serious delay.

Though no provision is made in the penitentiary bonds for payment of the interest still the faith of the State is pledged and the interest will be paid as promptly as if it were specially pro viueu i or. . . - .Those who have-received the con' solidated bonds may, when the peni- tentiary bonds arrive, exchange them if they so desire. . - Mr. J.

American Troops Clearing the Country of Insurgents South of Manila, i MET WITH STOUT RESISTANCE Rebels Left Fifty Dead in the Trenches and Many More Wounded American Loss Two Officers Killed, Twen-ty-one Privates Wounded. I- By Cable to the Morning Star. Manila, Juno 10. At daybreak to day a force of 4,500 men, under Gen erals Lawtou, Wheaton and Oven- shine, advanced from San Pedro Macati. sweeping the country between the bay of Manila and Bay Lake. south of Manila., By nob a the coua try had be?n cleared almost to Parau aqu. . lh Americans lost two omcers kill- d and twenty one soldiers wound ed The rebels resisted desperately at the stronger of their positions and left fiftv dtad i it the trenches. Mary more wounded were left behind by the re bels in their retreat, The heat during the' day was overpowering and there were many prostrations of American soldiers from that cause. Forces Engaged. General LSton's forces consisted of two battalions each of the 21st and 9th infantry, six companies of the Col orado volunteers, and a detachment of artillery. The Nevada cavalry was under General Wheaton and tqe lstn and 14th infantry, the fourth cavalry anoUa detachment of light artillery , , , were unaer uenerai uven&mne. It was scarcely dawn when the troops in a long, silent procession wound up the hillside behind the American trenches and formed a skirmish line. Concealed in the jungle, the advance rebel outposts fired a few shots before beiner seen. The opposiner forces oc cupied two ranges of crescent shaped hills. The artillery, the Colorado infantry and the Nevada cavalry swung around the hill to the left and opened the bat tle at 6.30 o clock. The rebels made no response from the hills and the Colorado men cautiously advanced through the thick grass until they were confronted by a trench, from which a few weak volleys were fired. A spirited response followed and a charge into the trench found it to be deserted. Insurgents Desperate Resistance. In the meantime part of the Thir teenth and Fourteenth regiments; formed in skirmish line, extending a mile to the right,' and supported by the rest of the regiments, swept down the valley and up the hill side toward another trench. Approaching through tne grass seriously hampered the Fourteenth, and the rebels taking ad vantage of this, poured a gallinsr fire upon them for thirty minutes. The Fourteenth was twice compelled to withdraw, for the purpose of finding a safe crossing in the swamp. Finally the trench was enhJaded on both flanks. The rebels fled to the woods and sustained severe loss. General Lawton then pushed the entire command south, through 'tKS centre of the isthmus, until a few miles south of Paranaque, when he swung around and halted on account of the heat. During the march Americans were prostrated on all sides, owing to the lack of water and exposure to the sun. It is estimated that forty per cent, of the troops were exhausted. The double-turreted monitor Monad nock and three other vessels shelled Paranaque this morning and the rebels promptly evacuated the place. CONDITIONS IN HAVANA. Fifht Between Spaniards and Cubans.

An, immense Spanish flag, with a picture of Gen eral Weyler on it, was borne to-day at the head of a party of fifty Spaniards, who were on their way to embark for opain. As the iparty proceeded, its members cried "Viva Espana." Two Cubans Carlos Cruzade and Miguel Atieza, were met by the Span iards, who endeavbredf to compel them to huwrfln for Spain. This the Cubans fused' to do, replying with shouts of viva Uuba." The leader of the mob. Vincente Morente, attacked Atiezo and was assisted by his "companions. Atieza was rousrhlv handled and re ceived number of bruises. The lice interfered and arrested Morente, but sent the remainder of the party on board snip. The cab strike is still on.

All the tents have wooden floors and cots; but unless the bar racks are soon' completed, sickness will probably develop, although under tne present conditions, tne nealth of the soldiers is remarkable.

Ji Jeffries, the new champion fighter, appeared at the " Academy of Music to night before a packed house, a notable feature being the large number of wo- present. Jeffries boxed three rounds witn his sparring partner, Jim Daly, of this city. Wm. A. Brady, Jeffries' manager, read from the stage a challenge to fight Tom Sharkey about September 15th, for the largest purse offered by any club and a $10,000 side bet. He stipulated that the entire purse go to the winner, and tnat no side agree ments or secret arrangements by con sidered, and that the sailor must agree to ueorge Siler as referee. The con test, he asserted, must take place in an eighteen foot ring. Mr: Brady was very caustic and called Sharkey a "blow-hard, accusing- him of having robbed Fitzsimmons of the decision in their fight two years ago. Jeffries bad little to say regarding his victory pver Fitzsimmons. "I feel a bit sore about the shoulders," he said, "but beyond that I am all right." . The champion said that Mrs. lutz- simmons refused to recognize him after the fight. Asked who he was likelysto meet next, he said : "I am not particular who I meet. I would like to meet the talkative tar Sharkey. I will fight him for charity, just to show the peo ple that he does not know how to fiffht," The Spoils of the Fight. New York. June 10.

Contingencies for which William Shakespeare made no allowances, arose during Maude Adam's performance of Romeo and Juliet at Powers' to-day. The moon, which is supposed to shed its soft radi ance over the garden of the. Capulet while Borneo makes love to Juliet on the balcony above, became aggressive and caught fire. It made much smoke which floated out over the audience and created some uneasiness. Finally a nervous woman in the balcony started for the door, and in moment the aisles were full of women following-her example, the majority of them leaving hats and wraps behind. The orchestra struck up "The Star Spangled Banner," Borneo dropped the acting business, and, coming down to the foot lights, shouted: "Ladies sit down ! Ladies sit down 1" But the ladies would not! sit down until Man ager Powers, of the theatre, climbed on the stage and assured the audience that a bit of insulation on the moon wire had become ignited, but a good portion of the moon had been saved, the fire was out, and there was no danger. It was a trying ordeal for Miss Adams and Mr. Favorsham, w ho played Borneo and Juliet and but for their coolness and that of Mr. Powers, panic migni nave resuuea. PEACE CONFERENCE.
