It is the . gradual progress of drifting which blinds to the danger. Men and women drift into ill-health m such a way. . There is a little feeling of oppression after eating.

They eat in judiciously, in some cases, and in gen s eral the brain is too occupied to allow the stomach the blood necessary to carry on its functions. Hence in time the "organs of digestion and nutrition are totally deranged and the young gradu ate goes home 'a chronic invalid. The timely use of Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery will avert such a con dition ; the faithful use of it in chronic cases will effect a complete cure. "I was troubled with very frequent headaches, often accompanied by severe vomiting," writes Miss Mary Belle Sutnmerton, of San Diego, Duval Co., Texas. "Bowels were irregular and my stomach and liver seemed continually out of order. Often I could eat almost nothing, and " sometimes absolutely nothing, for twenty-four hours at a time. I was entirely un6t for work, and my whole system seemed so run down that I feared a severe sick spell and was very much - discouraged. I was advised to try Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery, and before finishing the third bottle I was able to undertake the du ties of public school life, and contracted to do so." .

Washington, May 19. Three very tired Boer , envoys- stood up all the morning in their apartments at the Arlington, shaking hand with a con stant stream of visitors, acquiescing in the numerous requests and sugges tions of the Washington committee, and cautiously parrying the rapid fire of inquiries from a small army of newspaper correspondents. Mr. Fischer,, as usual, was tne spokesman or tne party, talking in excellent English. Commissioner Fischer talked quite freely with the correspondents and emphasized his wish to be as frank as possible vwithout giving offence to the American government. "We are nlaving a wholly unaccus tomed role as diplomats," said he, "and we must be careful. It has been sug gested to us since we reached America that we have hurt bur chances with the State .

' "We have been criticised for ac cepting an invitation to the meeting at the theatre to-morrow night before we have been received at the State ue partment, but we have promised to ap pear and .make our bow, upon the guarantee of the committee that it is simply a friendly welcome extended by our sympathizers, and will be free from all partisan politics. If we be lieved there would be a word uttered there for factional or political purposes we should not attend, but we have been assured it is merely a friendly welcome." Asked what were the nature of the commission's credentials Mr. Fischer replied: . '" "They are from our government and we believe are ample to enable us, through the good offices of a friendly government, to stop the bloodshed that is coins on in our home country. Further than that I would not like to discuss them." Want an Honorable Peace. Regarding the terms of peace on which he thought peace possible, Mr. Fischer said: "We have not come with any hard and fast proposition, but we believe an honorable peace is possible and we believe the United States is the one country so situated as to be able to bring it about," "would the recent victories of the British in South Africa have any effect on the terms you would be willing to accept?" he was asked. "Possibly." he replied, "vet that is a matter that I can't discuss now." When asked if he expected to see any of the representatives of Great Britain in Washington, he said: "We may possibly. We shall not ea after them, but we should be glad to talk to any 'fair-minded Englishman, for if the English people had- known the truth in the South African situa tion this war never would have been begun," "Will the Transvaal entertain any peace proposals that recognize the suzerainty of England?" he asked.

PLAGUE IN SAN FRANCISCO. Board of Health Announces Six Deaths from the Disease Daring Past Three Months Precautions Taken. By Telegraph to the Morning Star. San Fbanoisoo, May 19. The Board of Health has adopted a resolu tion declaring that bubonic plague exists in San Francisco. The health authorities say that while there are no living cases here, there have been six deaths during the past three months, and they have decided to take precau tions against the development and spread of the disease. A force of physicians to-day went through Chinatown to treat-Chinese with Haffkine prophylactic as a pre ventative against the plague. The members of the Board of Health say that there is absolutely no danger of the development or the spread of the disease at San Francisco, but at the same time they do not propose to take any chances ard it is their duty to take precautions. Chicago, May 19. Assistant Sur geon A. S. Lloyd of the United States marine hospital here, has been ordered to San Francisco to assist in the work of presenting the spread of the bubonic plague. Assistant Surgeon Amesse, of De troit, it was announced, has left De troit for Honolulu on a similar mis sion. Trouble With Chinese. When it became known in China town that the Board of Health had de termined to inoculate the residents of the Chinese section, groups of Chinese gathered on every corner and de nounced the action of the board as outrageous. Some of the more wealthy of the indignant Chinese hurried their families into hacks and other vehicles in the attempt to send them out of the district. Some succeeded in getting as far as the city limits where they were stopped by the police. Others at tempted to leave the city on trains. Several merchants endeavored to ob tain passage on the steamer America Martr which sailed for the Orient to-day, but there was no room for them on the steamer. The doctors de tailed to inoculate the Chinese are having a very hard time of it every pos sible obstacle being placed in their way by the Chinese. The consul gen eral is co operating with the board of health as much as possible, but several demonstrations among the Chinese have caused him to keep quiet in the matter. He has urged his people re peatedly to suba it to the demands of the board. Yesterday a small mob surrounded the consulate and stoned the buildings. This action resulted in a detachment of police being detailed to protect the consulate. Dr. Vincent EL Buckley, a member of the board of health, stated to-day that there have been no deaths as a re sult of inoculations, a bulletin posted in Chinatown to the contrary notwith standing. Dr. Buckley stated that unless the Chinese submit to the operations, a corps of police or soldiers will sur round Chinatown and no one but those supplied with a proper certificate will be allowed to pass through the lines. Dr. Buckley stated that while the heads of the Six Companies seemed willing to co-operate with the board, so, far their efforts to influence their countrymen had not proven a success. Texas Quarantines. Houston.Texas, May 19. A special from Austin says: "A telegram was received here to night confirming the reports of the existence of the bubonic plague at San Francisco. Upon receipt of the news Dr. Blount declared absolute quaran tine upon San Francisco and stationed inspectors at Gl Paso and Texarkana. No passengers or goods of any kind will be admitted into the State from San Francisco. SENATE PROCEEDINGS.

Last night's court circular contains the fol lowing: "The Queen received on Friday night with the greatest gratification and thankfulness the news of the relief of Maf eking after a heroic defence of over seven months by Colonel Baden Powell and troops under his com mand." The significance pf this, which re fers to the receipt by her majesty of a copy of the Associated Press Pretoria dispatch is that it is the first official in timation of the reli f of Mafeking, and it would not have been made had any doubts existed in the official mind as to the correctness of the news. dean while the usual Saturday night's silence covers the seat of war. The cables are mainly composed of re ports of enthusiastic jubilation over the relief of Mafeking at various points in South Africa. A dispatch from Winburg, dated May 19th, says: "General Bundle reached Trommel, twenty-eight miles from here, on Friday, traversing ex ceedingly mountainous country. Com mandant Olivier's command is several days ahead of him, but stray patrols of Boers are watching Bundle's move ments. His men aro in excellent form, in spite of the long daily marching." A dispatch from Pietermaritzburg says: "The occupation of Newcastle by General Buller has caused great ju bilaticn. The magistrate and his staff, the mayor and the corporation have left for Newcastle. Many fleeing Boers have gone to the Free State by Miller's pass. Others have gone to Wakkerstroom. Most of them, how ever, have gone north as a disorgan ized mob." Buller's Movements. London, May 19. The War Office has. received the following dispatch from General Buller, dated Newcastle, May 19th: "General Clery moved to Ingogo to day and General Dundonald to Laings Nek. We also caught up with the tail of the enemy's column and have captured a few prisoners and wagons. "The men have marched very well indeed. I left Ladysmith May 10 th and by the road used am now one hun dred and thirty-eight miles from there. "The telegraph section has been in defatigable and the army service corps has kept us full of rations all the time. "The Fifth division also has done great service." Tbe Relief of Mafeking.

Populace Rejolclnf .Over the Relief of Mafekicf Demoastraf ion at Resi dence of Baden-Powell. . By Cable to the Mornins star. London, May 19. London to-night is in a state of high carnival, so far as the leading thoroughfares are con cerned. Colonel Baden-Powell's house, which faces Hyde Park, was all day the centre of scenes which must have beefi extremely gratifying to ; his family, who constantly appeared on the balcony to bow their acknowledge ments. In addition there was a con tinuous stream of carriages bringing visitors, leaving cards of congratula tion. ... . ' When the art students' procession, which was of great length, having been joined by many members of . the best families, stopped in front of the house, the hero's mother and sister came to the window, evidently greatly moved. His sister fetched a large oil portrait of the colonel, wreathed in laurels, and placed it conspicuously on the balcony. When the storm of cheers ceased for .a moment, the colonel's mother briefly addressed the crowd, expressing her heartfelt thanks to the demonstrators. At about this time abeautifully ap pointed equipage drive along, i in which there were three ladies, each completely attired in one of the national colors, red, white and blue. There must have been millions ; of flags'sold during the day. The whole city was covered with them. There was little other attempt at decoration, but the effect is altogether novel ; to Londoners. : To-night, although the excitement increases in its intensity and the crowds are hourly thickening, until it is almost impossible to pass through the streets, the scenes of the Queen's jubilee are quite eclipsed. A cab or even a seat on a bus is unobtainable. ASSASSINATED BV NEGROES. A. B. Moore, Turpentine Distiller, Killed Near Roberts' Station, Fla More Trouble is Expected. By TtileKTaph to the Mornins 8tar ' Pknsacola, Fla., May 19. A. B.

W hen Moore reached Roberts his de serting employe was found with a half dozen negroes, all desperate charac ters. While remonstrating with the one he wanted, Moore was fired upon by nearly every one in the crowd, and instantly killed. In the melee a negro named William Smith, one of the as sassinating party, was seriously wounded, and C. J. Joyner, white, was shot through the leg. W. B. Moore, junior partner of the firm, shot and killed Jeff. Griffin, a colored employe, on March 29. F. 8. Moore, a brother, C. J.. Joyner and S. R.

The article, after giving a short summary of what is now known of the mosquito theory of malaria, concludes as follows: ' "All speculations abont air, about soil, about 'malaria belts and the like have been rendered, obsolete.' There is no reason to believe that the parasite of malaria finds access to the human body through any other channel than by means of the Anophele mosquito, or that 'gnats' or 'mosquitos' which infest re gions free from malaria are ex amples of Anopheles. If this particu lar insect could be extirpated, there is every justification for the hope that malarious fevers would disappear from the earth; and fortunately the extirpation does not seem likely to present any insurmountable diffi culty. The eggs are laid in water, and the larvae when hatched live in water for about a week before they assume the mosquito form. As larvae, like those of the common gnat, they rise to the surface to breathe, and a film of oil on the surface is speedily fatal to them by blocking up their air spiracles. The fully-formed mos quito lives for many weeks,- but is not presumed to travel far, and pro bably always obtains its food within easy reach . of its native pool of water, to which it periodically re turns for the purpose of depositing its eggs. Much may be done there fore by drying up the pools- in the vicinity of houses or by treating them once a week with a film of kerosene oil. Much may be done also by killing the maturo insect wben resting upon a wall after its meal; arid it ia to be noted that the true Anophele rests with its body almost at right angles to the surface of the wall, while the absolutely or comparatively .harmless gnat rests with its body parallel to the wall or even somewhat inclining to it." It is devoutly to be hoped that these sanguine expectations may be realized to their fullest extent, and that the time may be in sight when malaria will be swept away. - The Democratic Executive Commit tee of the Eighth congressional district.
