i Training la indispensable to athletic I success, in training, mucn stress is laid upon diet; care ful attention to the quantity and quality of the looa eat en, with resrularity of meals. That is the secret of strength for every man. No man can be stronger than his stomach. The careless and irregular eating, of business men, causes disease of the stomach and its allied organs of digestion and nutrition. There can be no sound health until these diseases are cured. Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery cores diseases of the stomach and other organs of digestion and nutrition, and enables the body to be built up into vig orous health by the assimilation of the nutrition extracted from food. "I was taken with the grippe- which resiffted in heart and stomach trouble," writes Mr. T. R CaudlU, of MoMland, Alleghany Co., N. C. "I was unable to do anything a good part of the time. I wrote to Dr. Pierce about my condition, having full con6dence in his medicine. He ad vised me to take his 'Golden Medical Discovery," which I did. Before I had finished the second bottle I began to feel better. I have used nearly six bottles I feel thankful to God for the bene fit I have received from Dr. Pierce's Golden Med ical Discovery. I can highly recommend it to all persons as a good and safe medicine." Dr. Pierce's PeUets crura constipation. SOTIB WHERE. JESSIE C. GLASIER.

OAHTOniA Bean the yf Tha Kind Yob Have Always Bought Signature of ELECTn:CALJ3UN. Are Thovaitnd Shot a Bflatat Without Heating the Barrel. Our Newt-si: t'i!-o!-'I'yne -correspondent informs cs tlmt a machine gun of a novel character 'hns been inventecf by Mr. James Judpo. a well known engi neer of Newcastle, who thus descibes it: "The gun Is a patent centrifugal quick tiring .machine gun. It is five feet high and weighs alxrot five hun dredweight. It is intended for battle ship, earthworks and garrison pur poses. The motive power Is electricity, transmitted to a motor attached to the side of the gun. The motor causes a disk to revolve at a very high rate of speed... i ' "The bullets, which are introduced Into the interior of the disk at the axle, travel along curves In the interior to the circumference and are there im pelled through a barrel. It Is claimed that this disk will rotate under the in fluence of the motor at the rate of 12. 000 revolutions a minute and will eject shots from the muzzle of the gun with an Initial velocity of 2,000 feet per second. One of the chief characteris tics of the gun Is that it will maintain a continuous fire. If necessary, a shot maybe discharged at every .half revo lution, but in practice one shot every fourth revolution will be found suffi cient The bullets are spherical and measure three-sixteenths of an Inch in diameter. "The following are the results of the tests already made with the gun: Eighteen thousand rounds of shot at the rate of 3.000 a minute have been discharged from the gun. These shots consisted of nickel steel, some of brass (as used in France), lead and chilled metal. It was tested seven times pri vately. No motor was used, nor is one yet attached to the gun, although the gun is constructed for an electric mo tor. The tests were made by means of a belt driven by a steam engine. "Under these conditions the velocity required and which it is maintained an electric motor will produce was not, of course, attained, but the practical working of the gun was fully demon strated. A long range could not be had because of the necessity of secrecy, and the testing was done In a covered shed at Blyth drydocks. A steel target three thirty-seconds of an inch thick was shattered, the disk of the gun re volving at a speed of 2,500 revolutions per minute. From the penetration of the target it is calculated that at a dis tance of 400 yards a penetration of a similar character will be effected of a plate seven-sixteenths of an Inch thick under the Influence of an electric mo tor. "There Is no heating of the barrel of the gun, "because of the continuous stream of cold air which Is impelled through it by the turning of the disk. The disk itself is also free from beat ing on account of the special bearings on which it is constructed. These bear ings are a highly complicated mechan ical contrivance and are similar to those used In Parsons' turbines, which can revolve at the rate of 22,000 revo lutions a minute, and Lcvall's motor, which revolves at the rate of 30,000 revolutions a minute. To test the gun thoroughly it will be necessary to affix a motor, which will he a five horse power motor coupled direct on to the shaft." London Times. Vfbravtioa. "Vibration Is the great bugbear of this business.'' said one of the best In formed stationary engineers in New Orleans. "It is governed by fixed laws, of coarse, but they are so subtle and intricate that It is next to Impossi ble to master them. They have a most Important bearing, however, on the life of machinery- I have known valuable engines to Jar themselves literally to pieces for no apparent cause. Some slight error In adjustment had set up a vibration that was communicated from part to part, like a contagious disease, until the whole plant was affected. "A steady tremor of that kind will not only wear out the parts, but it causes what we call 'structural changes' in the metal Itself. Wrought steel will gradually lose Its toughness and elasticity and become as brittle as cast iron. hen it is fractured, the in terior will have a strange, granulated appearance, and the worst of It Is that the alteration may be going on for months without the knowledge of the most careful engineer alive. That Is the secret of the breaking of a great many propeller shafts at sea. "There are different ways of stop ping vibrations, and one of the most curious is to set up a counter tremor in the opposite direction. One neutralizes the other."

"I am an older wom an than you and have seen more of the world, and it always makes me sad to hear of a nice girl marrying beneath her station. It is social suicide." "Then from a social standnolnt con sider me dead," smiled the light heart ed girl, "for I shall certainly marry Tom tomorrow.

Bat Church Steeples Were Blown Bows, Theatre Damsf ed and Many Build IsfB Unroofed Great Havoc Wrought at a Park. By Teiexrapb to the Hern Ins Star New York. August 24. A most violent and protracted rain storm, ac compar.ied by wind which, at times, in some sections approached the pro portion of a hurricane, swept over New York city, Westchester county and the northeastern portion of New Jer sey this afternoon. The most damage so far reported was at Jersey City, .kiM man? hnildino-s were wrecked. ti uviu . . .. j r . including a church and a theatre Kain had oeen tailing lniermmenuy all the morning, and about 1 P. M. the low hanging clouds began to discharge torrents of water and this was kept up until aftAr K nVlnr.lr. About 3 o'clock the wind increased mightily in vio lence ana at o.du jersey uuy oegaa 10 have the worst storm experienced in its history. Blasts of wind carried widespread destruction. Two Wlad Storms seemingly met in the neighborhood of Newark avenue and Barrow street, and a- cyclonic condition resulted. Horses standing in IN e warn avenue, and the wagons to which they were at tached, were blown over. Telegraph notes and wires fell. A moment or wo later the steenle of St. Mary's Re man Catholic Church.the largest in the city, fell backward upon the church. striking the roof, files 01 brick irom the spire crushed through the roof and down upon the pews. Theatre Wrecked. Two blocks south of St. Mary's church and nearly on a line ith it on Newark avenue, is the Bijou theatre. The "Man Who Dared" Company was rehearsing for an opening of the theatre for the season.- Two lions that are used in the play were in their cages on the stage, when a terrihe rush of wind made the building tremble. Warning cries caused the performers to leave the stage not a second too soon. Bricks came down from the high walls, ruin ing the stage and bending the lions' cage. The lions roared in terror. As the terformers rushed out a shout was raised in the street that the lions were loose and the crowd which had sought shelter in the corridor fled panic stricken. The lions did not escape but their cages were hit and the beasts were cut by the bricks, but the bars held them. On the south side of Newark avenue, opposite the theatre, the roofs of twelve three-story buildings were ripped off. Great piles of tin fell in the streets. The roofs were so com pletely ruined that the rain soon de- uged tbe buildings A Park Wrecked Van Vorst Park, the ornament of the most pretentious part of the down town community, was the scene of the storm's fiercest work. Trees that were tbe growth of many decades were uprootad or broken off as though they were made of pipeclay. A piece of the roof of the Union League building, which stands in New York street opposite the middle of the park was lifted high and carried over to the park and dropped on the broken rem nant of a tree. No one was reported as killed or injured. The storm in New York city was confined to a heavy downpour of rain with a violeLt wind. It was the heaviest in tbe Bronx, where the streets were flooded. The cut through wbicb the Harlem division of the New York Central and Hudson River railroad runs from Melrose to Wil liams' bridge, was flooded to a depth of from two to four feet. At the Fordham station there was consider able sand on the railroad tracks and trains were unable to get through. Heavy Rains In Pennsylvania. Philadelphia. Aug. 24 Reports received in this city to-night state that the heavy rains which have fallen al most incessantly during the past week throughout the 8tate have resulted in tbe most disastrous flood experienced in many years. At .Maunch Chunk the storm wss attended by four fatal i ties. Jesse Struthers, of Maunch Chunk and three boys named Mc Claffery, McGinley and Johnson, were standing on a bridge spanning Hauch Chunk creek when the supports col- psed and the four were precipitated into the water and drowned. The stream had become a raging torrent by tbe bursting of a dam about half a mile above the borough line. TWINKLINGS Kwoter "If ever there was a truth it's this: 'Man's inhumanity to man."

OFFICIALS ARRESTED. Takea lata Castody by Secret Service men for Cosnitipg at SoiDggHog Chinese lato This Coantry. tty Teiecracn u tat nnrutux eun Washington Au?. 24. Probably the most important arrests ever made in connectiou ;th the smuggling of Chinese across the Mexican border into the United States were made yes terday in Arizona, when Wm. M. Hoey. collector of customs at .no- gales; B. F. Jossey. an immigrant in spector; Frank How, a Chinaman liv ing in Nogales, and another China man, living at Clifton, Mexico, just across the border from Nogales, were taken into custody by special agents of the treasury and secret service operatives. Other arrests are ex pected to follow within a day or two. It is stated that with two or three exceptions, the whole customs and immigration stair at Hogaies is involved. Some time ago an official of the treasury department having Nogales as his headquarters, wrote tbe department that he had reason to believe the official force at that point was corruDttand that Chinese in large numbers were being smuggled across the border for a consideration. A secret service detective was sent there and plans laid to secure evidence against the persons under suspicion. Several Chinamen were furnished with money and sent on to buy their way through the official cordon.. This was accomplished, the price de manded being from $50 to $200 Tbe secret service men also arranged with one or two em ployes whose honesty, had been tested to go into the collector's office at a certain time and demand a sbare of the money being received from Chi namen and to be admitted into the combination so that they might get their share of the proceeds of future deals. This was reluctantly agreed to and considerable Bums of money were handed over in the presence of a secret service man who had previously se creted himself in a near by office closet. The officials soon found that China men who presented a certificate mark ed with the letter A were allowed to proceed without question, while those having certificates that did not bear this cabalistic mark were turned back without ceremony. Later on it was developed that the letter A on a cer tificate indicated that the amount demanded had been paid. Sever al Chinamen were sent through with the requisite A mark on their certificates made by one of the secret service men. The utmost care and se crecy was maintained from the first to secure positive proof against each man under suspicion. A special United States attorney will be detailed to prosecute the prisoners arrested, tloey was appointed collector about a year ago. His home is iu Muncie, in a. Jossey came from the State of Wash ington. The number of Chinamen who have bought their way into the United States through the connivance of the Nogales officials is not known, but it is be lieved to be large. A special agent has been ordered to Nogales to take charge of the office if he finds it nec essary. CHINESE EDICTS. Dowager Empress Seeking to Establish a Better System of Administration. Br Cable to tbe Hornlnz Star. Washington, Aug. 24. The State Department has received by mail from Mr. Squiries. charge d'affaires at Pekin, several edicts issued within re cent months by the Empress Dowager, urging upon the officials of China every exertion to secure men of talent for conducting government affairs and also censuring the abuses which have grown up under the old administra tion. Tbe edicts direct greater liberty in classical examination and provide for the study of political economy in addition to the studies under the old regime. The abuses and corruption which have existed under the boards that heretofore have ruled China are set forth in emphatic lan guage, and all officials are directed to assist id rooting out evils and estab lishing a better system of administra tion. Dr. J. W. Herrod was shot and killed by Homer Ritchie at Dixon Springs, Tenn., Friday night. The killing was the result of an assault made upon Ritchie, who was attempt ing to protect the wife of Herrod from violence at the hands of her husband.

Black diamonds are comparatively rare and correspondingly high piictd They are three or four times as bard as the white ones, and fire cannot barm them, however great the heat, but if a drop of water should touch them while heated they will explode and leave nothing but a little heap of sand In their place. Their leauty Is not remarkable, but on account of their extreme hardness they are invaluable for. dressing sur faces Impervious to the friction of any other material. The largest black dia monds are set in the end of a round short bar of steel, with a handle cf wood, and are used In dressing emery wheels that have lost their "trueness." A black diamond is the only substance that will not be ground away by con tact with the emery surface. Dlack diamonds are Also used as points in scoring pencils which are used by sealers of weights and meas ures to mark glass receptacles. They are used by dentists for drilling teeth before filling them with gold. In ap pearance they look more like a shining" little splinter of iron or grain of coal than a precious ' gem, and their chief mission is a distinctly commercial and hot an ornamental one. Make m. Pet of the Rat. "As a matter of fact," says a coura geous writer in the Boston Transcript, "the common rat is a vastly more intel ligent creature than the squirrel or the average cat. I am more than half con vinced that the resources of the rat as a household pet would If fairly tested prove very great The rat is undoubt edly capable of a higher and more inti mate form of domestication than that which he now commonly assigns to himself. lie is at present a resident of our houses on unwelcome terms, and he makes himself, quite naturally, as much an enemy of the household as possible. "Let the rat be welcomed and made a friend of the family, as has been done In a few cases, and he becomes a dif ferent sort of fellow altogether. No longer forced to steal his food, he be come! a playmate and a companion. The sleek and well groomed gray rat Is, barring the ordinary baldness of his tail, quite as pretty and graceful a creature as the squirrel, and there is no reason why we should not become so much aicustomed to the appearance of his tail that in time we should regard It as quite ornamental." A Morocco Superstition. In a paper to the Anthropological In stitute Dr. Westermark showed from investigations in Morocco that the Arab giun, or gnuu. is regarded as a special race of beings created before Adam, of no fixed form and assuming, like Proteus, who was perhaps a per sonage of the same extraction, almost any shape they please.
