! - U EEleeMg Stoat. THE GUARDIAN OF OUR BODY. The foremost biologist of our day. d3 M. MeWchnikoff, has shown the world of science that there are leucocytes in our blood that act as scavengers or policemen. These policemen which are called phago cyte look out for the noxious or poisonous elements in our blood. Various offending elements are picked out of the blood and tissues by these policemen and destroyed. Therefore our lives are protected by these blood-cell policemen, tbe phagocytes, and we enjoy immunity from disease so long as our blood contains plenty of phago cytes and red blood corpuscles. "A new broom sweeps clean V-and in order to put our own house in order we must get rid of all the poisons in the blood with a new broom such as an alterative extract made from roots and herbs with out the use of alcohol, as Dr. Pierce's' Golden Medical Discovery,- a' specific for making' rich red blood for eradicating the poisons from the blood. In some way the policemen in the blood are increased in number and strength so that we are put in the best possible shape to resist disease to cure neuralgia, colds, catarrh, and in cipient consumption. "The more study and time is given to the subject the more wc find that the blood is the center of life " says Dr. R. V. Pierce, the noted specialist of Buffalo, "the health and comfort of the average person depends entirely on this blood supply for the heart must have pure blood or it will not pump and keep the body supplied regulaifly like the beautiful automatic engine it is. The nerves must be fed on pure blood-Kr we . suffer the pain of neuralgia, which is the cry of the starved nerves for food. Head- - aches, cold in the head, catarrh and many other things are due to stagnation of the blood." Dr. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets are a mild laxative. No other medicine equals them for gentleness and thoroughness. TWINKLINQS Homer What's the difference la time between Chicago and Paris?

Aiotber lerlioily In. Jnred, Masy lives Plsced la Jeopir dy asd Masy Thiniasds of Dollars Expended, Bf TBlegnoii to the Homing Btar. Niw ;Yom, Oct. 8. Four-wheeled vehicles of all sorts of Incongruous shapes, rushing along the road at a speed from sixty to ninety miles an hour, the air resounding with the 'honk honk" of horns, the clanging of bells, and the shouts of guards, signal flags waving and flattering, and an occasional cheer from thousands of throats was the atmosphere In llinola, Homestead, Garden City and other Long Island suburbs of Greater New -York to-day, during tbe three hun dred mile auto race for the William K Vanderbllt, Jr., cup. - . One death, one man in hospital seriously Injured, many lives placed In jeopardy during .seven or eight hours of the day and many thousands of dollars expended, Is the result. The story of the race itself is one of Intense excitement and nerve tension. After running for seven hours, tome times at a speed of sixty to ninety miles an hour, faster -than many ex press trains, George Heath, an Amer ican, driving a 90-horse power vehicle, of foreign make, and representing the Automobile Glub of France, finished first in the ran of three hundred miles, with Albert Clement, representing the same club and driving an 80-horse power machine, Also of foreign make, one minute and twenty-eight seconds behind him. When the two men flashed by the judges the crowds In the adjoining grand stand rose In a body and cheer after cheer relieved the tension of nerves that had held the crowd for so many hours. But the award was not yet certain, for Clement lodged a pro test with the racing board of the Au tomobile Association of America, un der whose control the race was held, and the decision given but a few min utes before was withdrawn until the board had made an Investigation Into the claims set forth by Clement. These were of a technical nature. Clement In his protest declared that he bad been held up in Hempstead over a min ute and a half and that if this time had been allowed him he would have won the race. He said that his gaso lene tank broke in Hempstead and that time war taken on him while he was repairing It, contrary to the con ditions of the race. He also asserted that his time In controls had been charged against him. ' Like all previous races of the kind, there was a chapter of accidents and fatality. The victims were among the tarticlpants In the contest Fortunate y, none of the spectators along the course was hurt. The man killed was Carl Meusel, a chaff our, who was driv ing the car of George Arents, of New York. The accident was caused by the tires slipping and it occurred about 8 o'clock, two hours after the start. The car was travelling at a tremendous sate -and was approaching a curve, when it suddenly swerved and turned completely over. Meusel was caught beneath the machine while Arents was thrown to one side. Both men were tsken to a hospital,wbere it was found Meusel had one arm broken and that bis skull was fractured and that he had numerous cutf and bruises. One ear was torn off, one ankle sprained and he was internally Injured. He died half an hour later at the hospital. Arents escaped with a few cuts and bruises. Arents' car was demolished. The race was started at 6 o'clock The course was over a thirty-mile tri angle with turns that were sharp and dangerous. At two places the railroad crossed the highway grade, and these places were guarded by signal men. Twice at these crossings Gabriel, a French motorist, narrowly missed be ing struck by a train, in one Instance running but two feet ahead of a loco motive. The starters in the race were: A. L. Campbell, Gabriel, Jos. Tra cer, A. C. Webb, George Arents, Jr., H. H. Little, Heatb, Ed. Hawley. Werner, Paul Bartorls, Maurice Ber- nln, Albert Clement, Tarte Teste, Charles Schmidt, Frank Oroker, Lutt sren and William Wallace. After the firit car was off, promptly at 8 A. M., the others followed at two minutes Interval!. The Vanderbllt car was out of order when it came time to start and It was more- than two hours later that it was ready. A flying start la violation of the rules was made, but the car kept on. It was officially barred, however. The first accident of the day occurred when car No. 19. driven by Wallace. stopped for repairs at Hempstead. Tbe machinist, Antonio uonderi, was un der the vehicle when It started without warning, and the rear wheels passed over his body.. His injuries are not serious, however. The machine owned by E. R. Thomas and driven by Hawley. while making one of the turns, swerved from the road, ran upon the grass along the road and narrowly missed crashing into a tree. Spectators were panle stricken, but the danger soon passed. Later the Thomas machine broke down and retired from the race. Frank Oroker's daring driving was a feature that brought spectators to their feet. After the fourth time around the 80-mlle triangle, however, his machine had sustained injuries that nut it out of the running. There was a continuous bursting of tires at one point In the course that . arousea suspicion ana lnTesucauon showed that a quantity of sharp nails and broken glass bad been thrown on the roadway, to this was due the re tlrement of a number of the machines early in the race. Of the eighteen alartsrs but eight remained In the race at the fifth round of the triangle or when the race was half over. Heath covered tbe last lap of thirty miles at the rate of 73 miles an hour. His average speed during the ten laps was 63 miles an hour. The four remaining in the race, and who were from two to three laps be hind at the finish, were called off without being allowed to finish be cause of Us being found impossible to keen the crowd any longer under con trol after the exciting race between Heath and Clement. The first real excitement that brought the crowd in the grand stand to its feet was when Clement and Croker were coming to the line on the second round at a crashing speed, with but a second be tween them. As they dashed on past the judges' stand the spectators along the roadway scurried into the stand. the ptople In the stand roso and cheer ed. It was on the next round that Oroker punetured a tire and retired. Campbell, in an 80 horse power ma chief, was first to cross the white band across Tne roadway at the start. He was followed two minutes later by Gsbri), who held the lead for 60 miles or '.fcruugh the second round. His net time was 37 minutes 14 sec onds, or a rate of 83 miles an hour. - Heath passed Queens In the second round in second place, haying jumped from seventh to fourth place in the first round and to second place fa tbe second round. At the third round Heath finished 7 minutes and 68 sec ond! ahead of Gabriel. At 8:8 Teste was first, Heath second, Clement third and Gabriel fourth. Heatb, however, finished the fourth round In the lead as to actual time. Hawley quit at the end of this round. Heath continued to lead until the eighth lap, -when he was delayed by trouble with his tire. Clement was driving his machine at terrific speed, and as it psssed the stand there was a flash of a big. hulk, a whizzing of wheels and a rush of wind, and the Frenchmen with bis machine was out of sight . . At the" 160 mile pointer, the end of the fifth round, the standing wast . Heatb, first ; Gabriel, second ; Clem ent, third; Lyttle, fourth; Teste, fifth. Heath's average speed in the first half was 63 miles an hour. , Heath, after the delay, finished his eighth lap and entered on the ninth at terrific speed. Clement, who started later than Heatb, was now three minutes In the lead, official time. The excitement In the grand stand began to increase. Clement had only a lead of 1 minute and 4 seconds en tering on the last lap, according to the official announcement. Heath had gained a minute' on him, but it did not seem that he would wipe out the two minutes remaining. On the two men came to the finish line, the crowds cheering and yelling, throwing hats into the air, and wav ing handkerchiefs, coats and canes on came the ponderous machines, puffing, chugging and snorting like juggernauts there was slience in tbe crowd, the machines whizzed and then one flashed across the line it was Heath,' followed one minute and 38 seeonds later by Clement and America's first big rsce for automo biles bad been run.. The official lapsed time'for the -en tire course of tbree hundred miles Is: Heatb, 6 hours, 36 minutes,46 seconds; Clement, 6 hours, 38 minutes, 13 see onds. THE EPISCOPAL CONVENTION. Committee on Change of Name of Charch Discharged Tbe Divorce Question. Next Place of Meeting. By Teiesrapn to ma Morning Btar. Boston, Oct. 8. The greetings of the Anglican Church Jn Canada were transmitted to the Episcopal General Convention at a brief session to-day by Right Bev. Charles Hamilton, bishop of Ottawa; Klght Bev. James CarmlchaeJ, bishop .coadjutor of Mon treal, and Dean Evans, also of Mon treal. Bishop Hamilton thought that the United States might well adopt some of the mothods of dealing with divorce which were in vogue in bis country. where the courts which sever marriage had little to do. The Honse of Deputies considered a proposal to permit the election of suf fragan bishops in large dioceses or in localities where there are large num bers of colored people or persons of foreign extraction. The matter was referred to a committee. The House of Bishops concurred with the other house in discharging the committee on change of name of the church. It is announced that the divorce question will be taken up by the con vention on Monday. Richmond, Va,, is favored by many delegates as the place for the conven tion or 1807, and it is understood that a committee of which J. Pierpont Morgan is chairman, will recommend that city. The fund raised by the Woman's Auxiliary for the board of missions now amounts to $160,000, the largest In the church's history. HEAD-ON COLLISION. Five Persoas Seriously Isiored on the Southern Pacific Road. Br Telegraph to the Morning Btu. Bis Astohio, Texas, Oct. 8. In a head-end collision to-night at 10:30 o'clock between the Sunset Limited and the New Orleans Limited, near China, on the LaFayette division of the Southern Pacific, five persons were seriously Injured, two of them being of the train crew. At Lumberton on Thursday, the Bobeson county Republican con vention nominated the following ticket: Senate, W. J. Currie; House, W. K. Culbreth, W. H. Klnlaw; Sheriff, J. W. Hall; Register of Deeds, &. Atkinson; Coroner, w.h. Barnes: Surveyor,- D. P. McNeill: Treasurer, Thomas Hedgpeth; Com missioners, W. S. Johnson, JN. T. Andrews, F. L. McCormlck, I. E. Tyner, K. Barnes, says the Lum berton Argus. The personnel of the convention was good, and the crowd decently large. The old time He publicans were in evidence, but the element that came by way of the Populist route formed the larger element, and it is clear that there is the nucleus of a good minority party m it. Charlotte News: The Union- Republican, the leading avowedly Republican paper in the State, is printing this low canard, in large type, underscored: "I think that a dollar a day Is enough for any man, provided that his work is steady. Any man can live on that, and that is all that unskilled labor is worth. l am sorry that I have to pay more than that, and wonldn't if we had a better supply of labor hereabouts." Of course Judge Parker never said any such thing. The Union-lie- publican must know that he never said any such thing, it hasn't sense to come in out of the rain if It does not know it.

Well, I can tell you since I was there.-; - " Fort N. was a blockhouse, a Store and a few aweiungs. 4. no Ajmcuea vuas down bo suddenly that we had no time to prepare. We divided between tbe blockhouse and the store. There were several thousand dollars' worth of goods, Including provisions, in the store, besides ammunition, which it wasn't advisable to let the Indians have. The building stood about' 200 yards from the blockhouse, and a path baa been worn between the two. I was In the blockhouse with the eight men and- tbe women and children. There were-seven men In the store. This comprised, all the people in the place. Tbe division of force was all right, but the division of ammunition was all wrong. That in the fort had been, suffered to run low. There was plenty in the store, but no time to move It You see, a man came galloping in to give warning, and ten minutes later down came the Indians. It was about noon when tbe attack began, and by 4 o'clock there wasn't a pound of powder left to us in the block house. We had kept up our spirits till we learned of the deficiency, several of the women doing good service at the loopholes and altogether making it so hot for the 'red devils that they didn't dare make a rush across the open. But when the ammunition gave out we were seized with a sudden fright I'll .admit that my mind got on the butch ery of tbe women and children that was sure to come, and I couldn't get it oil. There was but one thing to do some one must, make a run for the store and a run back with ammunition. Of course there wasn't one chance in ten of his getting through either way, but he might make the out trip even If he had to drag himself in with bullet holes in him and tell them what we needed. Signal? Great Scott! Don't you sup pose the Indians would understand a signal? And when they did that would be the end of us. Well, we had two brothers in the place, the Gordons. They kept the store. Jim Gordon was with us In the blockhouse with the Gordon women and children, and John was at the store. John was the husband and fa ther. Jim was a bachelor. John in trusted Jim with his family while be looked of ter the property. Jim Gordon was a perfect fleer at running and had practiced a Mlgzag motion on pur pose to dodge Indians and their fire. He volunteered to try a run for tbe store. He started, Just at dark, when a mist was rising from the ground. There was a rainfall of lead poured at him, but he had made half the distance be fore, he felL Tbe darkness came on, and we knew for certain the Indians would steal up and get poor Jim. During the night we were at the mercy of the redskins if they had only known it I made up my mind to try a skulk through to the store, for we felt sure tbe attack would be renew ed at daylight Soon after midnight I crawled out and got over some twenty yards when I saw the dark forms of Indians keeping watch between the two wings of our little army. I crept to tbe left to circumvent them and had made a considerable distance when down in a depression in the ground a party of them suddenly lighted a fire, and near by, bound to a tree, I saw poor Jim Gordon. He wasn't dead, but was as white as a corpse. Tbe Indians blocked tbe way I was going, so I turn ed, but found tbem everywhere, and finally, coming to a clump of thick bushes, I lay concealed. There wasnt much chance of my getting through, and I confess the sight of Jim Gordon rather took tbe starch out of me. I lay hidden till daylight and the In dians then began to make preparations for a rush. It was plain they were go ing to attack the blockhouse, possibly because they had divined from Jim Gordon's attempt that the garrison was in need of something. Just as they were about to start a figure came from the store and walked very slowly, to ward the Indians, who were mostly located near tbe tree to which Jim Gordon was secured. One or two shots were fired at tbe figure without ap parent effect The chief then stopped any more shooting. Perhaps he thought a messenger was coming to bring a sur render. I was wondering at the slow, ghostlike movement of the advancing figure when I noticed a commotion among the Indians. Several of them ran and looked at Jim Gordon, then ran back to stare at the figure, which I could now see was white as ashes in the face. Then one after another the Indians started back, apparently ter ror stricken, and by the time the spec tral figure had come near enough for me to alsnngulsh who it was nearly c of them had fled. You may be sure I wondered what it was that made them get away bo fast An Indian isn't such a fool as to be duped simply by a man playing ghost When I saw that the figure was John Gordon It was all explained. I told you that John and Jim Gordon were twins, didn't I? No? Only brothers? well, they were twins, sure enough, and could scarcely be told apart The Indians concluded that John was the ghost or double of Jim, and as they are fearfully superstitious they didn't dare raise a rifle against the counter part Jim was unbound and eventually re covered. It turned out that when John saw bis brother trying to reach the store he surmised what It was for. Knowing the superstition of the In dians, he resolved as a forlorn hope to personate his brother's ghost He took a big chance and saved his family and all tbe rest EMERT STONB TORBUT "Do you consider noise inju rious to health," asked the seeker after Information.
