. . s . .- "Blood tells." But we rarely recog-, nize. the fact except in times of stress and strain. A horse which looks like a "scrub" may beat another horse which,, seems the ideal of a racer, just by that one quality of good blood. Similarly, men, who seem in the pink of condition drop down under the . racing strain of business. Why? Blood tells. Men reckoned perfectly healthy start out for Dusiness, . uiey make a run for the train, and collapse. "Heart fail ure" they call it Blood failure . would be often the better name. . Take care of the blood and the body will take care of itself. It is the blood . which builds the" body. The Mood in- be based on sound blood. . It is one of the peculiar properties of Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery that it eliminates from the blood the ef fete and poisonous matter which is antag onistic to health. It also gives to the blood those elements which are necessary to its strength and vitality. Thus by the use of " Golden Medical Discovery " purity of blood and power of body have been attained by thousands of sickly and - scrofulous men and women. No other medicine purifies the blood and builds the' body as does the "Dis covery." Accept no substitute. " It give me much pleasure to testify to the merits of -Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discov ery," writes Miss Annie Wells, ofr Fergusson's Wharf, Isle of Wight Co., Va. " I can say hon estly and candidly thaVit is the grandest medi cine ever compounded for purifying the blood. I suffered terribly with rheumatism, and pimples on the skin atyCewelling in my knees and feet so that 1 could not walk. I spent about twenty dollars paying doctors' bills but received no be nefit. A year or two ago I was reading one of your Memorandum Books and I decided to try Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery and ' Fa vorite Prescription,' and am entirely cured." Dr. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets are grad uated to the requirements of woman's delicate system. They regulate the stomach, liver and bowels. - ' SLIPPING A WAX. They are slipping away these swi s witt years, Like a leaf o ? the current With never a break in their rapid flow, We watch them as one by onethey go Into a beautiful past As silent and swift as the weavers thread. Or an arrow's flvinsr crleam. As soft as the languorous breeies hid, That lift the willowVfcolden lid. And ripple the glassy stream. . As light as the breath of the' thistle down, As food as lover's dream. As pure as the flush of the sea shell's throat, As sweet as the wood-birj's wooing note. So tender and sweet they seem. One after another we see them pass,. Down the dim-lighted stair; We hear the sound of their steady tread In the steps ef centuries long since dead, As beautiful and as fair There are only a few years left to live, Shall we waste them in idle -strife? Shall we trample under our ruthless - . feet - . .-- Those beautiful blossoms, fair and By the dusty ways of life? There are only a few swift years- ad, let No envious taunts be heard ; Make life's fair pattern of rare design. And fill up the pattern , with love's sweet wine, But never an angry word.

The passing of another week has apparently effected no change in the condition of the war in South Africa. It certainly has not Deen productive oi any serious devel opment. " Coal is getting daily dearer, and the funds for the ''absent minded beg gars" and others are swelling by the tnousands into proportions of unheard of munificence, while the papers, when not magnifying indecisive skir mishes.into brilliant successes, devote casual attention to the difficulties which have arisen over the seizure of carsroes contraband. The papers merely voice the feeling of the government, for at the Foreign Office not the slightest anxiety is felt regarding the action so far taken against the alleged contraband. The untisn government believes it has a good case against the Bundesrath. But both in this instance and in the case of the American flour, the govern ment hold that nothing absolutely definite can be done until details can be learned, and even then the fine points of law involved must be settled by the careful deliberation of experts. ' In the meantime, it is possible the govern ment may deem it advisable to make declarations regarding contraband, especially food stuffs; but such a step ii quite problematic. To quote an American diplomat in London, who, after reading the cabled accounts that the United States' insis tence upon her rights might cause trouble, saidt "How in the world do they think such a complicated point of law can be settled or cause any serious disagreement between powers so friend ly as tbe United States and England?" Commenting on the American feel ing, the Saturday Review says: "We fear no accurate presentment of the real feeling of the United States regarding the war reaches this country ; but there is no doubt the bal a&m la against us.

TRIALS OF THE BRITISH IN SOUTH AFRICAN WAR. Soldiers Sofferlsg for Water Heat In tolerableThe Wounded Boera' Qua Pire, Etc. f Correspondence of Associated Press London, Dec. 30. "The men were crowding round the engines in line, offering the drivers fabulous prices for a cup of water," writes the Globe cor respondent describing the close of the battle at Enslin; " but it was useless. The drivers had been threatened with court martial if they supplied any, as there was great difficulty in keeping sufficient supply for the engines. I saw one-soldier lying on tne line un der an engine catching a few drops -in his mouth from a steampipe." Such extracts as this, from tbe mail descriptions of the fighting in South Africa, give some faint idea of tne conditions under which it is to be car ried on. Belated as these letters are by the time they appear in Eoglish papers, they throw much needed light upon tne campaign, so Darrenly re ported over the censored cables. Tne neat mat drove untisn soldiers to drink gratefully from the exhaust pipe of. an engine,' after seven hours fighting at Enslin, where they lost 179 killed and wounded, has provoked a serious factor in tbe care of the wound ed. Surgeon Makins, formerly of St, Thomas hospital, writes under date of the neld hospital at Urange river: "During an, eight day's stay some 600 wounded men have passed through the hands of the Royal Army Medical Corps here. In one night alone three hundred patients arrived from the fight at Modder river. Yesterday the thermometer registered .125 degrees Fahrenheit in some of the tents. The journey from here to the base hos pital at Wyn berg takes twenty-eight hours and emphasizes the difficulties due to the immense length of the line of communication. . The doings of the besieged at Lady smith have been fully described by recent letters. If the Boers continue to so closely hem in and continuously bombard White's force, the besieged promise to become full fledged cave dwellers, for according to tbe Daily New' 8 correspondent at Ladysmiih the prevalent tendency there is to burrow. "Some people," writes the authority. "having spent much time and patient labor in making burrows for them selves,' find life there so intolerably monotonous that they prefer to take the chances above ground. Others pass whole days with wive and families, or in solitary misery. where there is not light enough to read or work, scarcely showing a head outside- from sunrise to sunset. They nfav be seen trooping away from fragile tin roofed houses half an hour before day break, carrying children in their arms or a cat or monkey or mongoose, or a cage of pet birds, and they come back similarly laden when the night sets too dim for gunners to go on shooting. There would be a touch of humor in all this if it were not so deeply pathetic in its close-association with possible trage dies.'" One never knows where or at what hour a stray shot or splinter will fall, and it is pitiful sometimes to hear cries for dolly from a prattling mite whq may herself be fatherless or motherless to morrow. We think as little as possible of such things. putting them from us with the light comment that they have been daily elsewhere than in besieged towns, and making the best we can of a melan choly situation." : NEWP0KT NEWS LYNCHING.

Watts, who was lynched at Newport News yesterday morning for assaulting Mrs. Simpson, arrived here to-day, en route to Newport News.

Watts' Bister, who is a teacher in a Lynch burg school, also telephoned that if ner brother was guilty she did not want the body sent home. It will be sent to Richmond Medical College for dissecting purposes. Watts said he had tried to reclaim his boy, who was wayward, and had warned him of the fate that overtook him.

Norfolk, Va , January 5. Despite the heavy increase in shipments of rocahontas coal to this port, conse quent upon the increased provision of cars by the Norfolk and Western Rail road Company, the demand cannot be supplied. There are now nearly seventy-five vessels here awaiting car goes, and it will be weeks before their bunkers are all filled. 7 No trouble has been experienced in supplying the local demand, but foreign orders have so multiplied, partly because of a re duction of 25 cents per ton in price of bunker coal, that they cannot be filled promptly. A number of vessels have taken advantage of the enforced delay and are having extensive repairs made at the shipyards. " The same conditions prevail at New port News, Wilmington, Charleston.

White Man Lynched at Newport News for an Atrocious - Crime. , TAKEN BY FORCE FROM JAIL. Bonnd to a Sapling and His Body Riddled With Ballets The Rope Not Loag Enough to Hang the Brnte-His Victln a Married Woman. Bv Telegraph to the Morning Star. -Newport News, Va.V Jan. 5.- -The death of William J. Watts, at the hands of a mob, between the hours of and 5, o'clock this morning, marks the first sitting of Judge Lynch in Newport News. His taking off also signalizes-the initial ' execution of a white man for rape in. Virginia, leg ally or otherwise. The crime tbat invoked mob ' ven geance was peculiarly atrocious, being blackened by tbe basest ingratitude. The victim of the wretch upon whom justice was so speedily visited was the benefactress of her assailant, having fed him, a stranger at tbe door, when he first appeared begging for charity three weeks ago, after reaching here penniless from Lynchburg, where bis father is a policemen. Watts was 28 years old, married, a professional gambler, and cpmes of a respectable family with extensive relationship throughout the State. Watt's Victim. Yesterday afternoon he visited the house of Mrs. Thomas M. Simpson, who had befriended him when he was in destitute circumstances, telling the lady he was about to leave the city and stating tbat he desired to thank her before going away Watts 'had made a "stake" at his calling during his sojourn here,, and Mrs. Simpson failed to recognize in the well dressed man the miserable mendicant upon whom sbe had bestowed alms almost threeweeks before. Her interest in the man being awakened.she conversed with him for a few minutes at the door. When she retired into the hall way, he followed her, seized her by the throat, forced her into the sitting room and overpowered her after a des perate struggle. Watts ' was captured on board tbe special train of U. if. Huntington while it was leaving the city for Rich mond yesterday afternoon and lodged in jail. Riddled with Ballets. Three masked men entered the sta tion house at 4 o'clock this morning and forced the jailor at the point of pistols to surrender the keys. Four companions of the men received Watts when he was carried out and hurried him away, first to the house 1 1 a: i J a - - j i pi un. oiiupsua, wuu lueuuaea iiiuj, and then to the outskirts of the city. where a mob of several hundred men were congregated. He was bound by the wrists to a sapling. His body was riddled with bullets. It bad been in tended to hang the man, but the only rope with which the party was pro vided proved too short to go over, any convenient limb. The rope with which the body of the victim was bound was cut up and dis tributed among the on lookers.
