ns active and strong up to a few years ago as
1 wasduringtho wariutliot-'outh. My family
and friends are nil gone, but J am cheerful
and hope to live some time yet. I was born la wliat is now Unify Corners, N. II., in 17U7.
1 had been pretty well all my life, but sickness came upon me during the last 20 yi ars.
My doctor told me it was old ag ■, and gave me Dairy's I’uro .' fait Whiskey. 1 am taking
that medicine now, and it is both medicine and nourishment to me. I cannot cat a hearty
meal the way 1 used to, but Hully’s keeps mo up and going. 1 would m d. lw> alive without
it.” • EDWARD NOYES.

NEW ORLEANS MARKET.
Baltimore, Feb. 10.—The night was
marked by two new alarms of fire,
the fall of a number of walls and
conditions of extreme discomfort for
the soldiers and policemen on guard,
the temperature dropping about 10
degrees and a keen wind blowing
throughout the night. The weather
conditions, it is thought, were re
sponsible for the falling walls, the
crumbling mortar aiding the wind in
bringing down several of the ruins.
The firemen were called out early
during the night an alarm of tire,
in the lumber yard ot the William
C M k Son, in the southwestern district.
The tire was extinguished alter it had
done small damage. Later an un
important blaze in the northern resi
dence district again called out some
of the overworked firemen.
Owing to the need ot police to pa
trol the outlying residential sections,
it was neevessary for the officers to
put in 10 and 12 hours of continuous
duty and almost without shelter, and
the men were thoroughly benumbed
when relieved at daylight. Even U
soldiers on guard for but two hours
at a stretch found this tour in. the
Icy wind long enough and considerate
officers permitted them to shelter
themselves in convenient doorways
and build small picket fires wherever
possible. Two companies of troops
were kept on continuous patrol duty
in the ruins throughout the night.
A conflict with the military was re
ported last night when one off the maf
carriers, who was endeavoring to en
ter the postofficc, was halted by a
private. In the encounter the carrier
wah hit over the head with a soldier’s
rifle but was not seriously injured.
Cotton Opened Steady from 20 to 40
Points Down.
New Orleans, Feb. It).—llie cotton
market opened steady and from 20 to
40 points down on discouraging Liver-
pool cables.
The market was fairly sold out, the
liquidation of yesterday apparently al
most entirely wiped out the outside
long interest.
Prices quickly showed a recovery
until May was 4 points higher than
yesterday’s close and 49 points higher
than the lowest level ot the morning,
at 12.04. The market had a natural
tone, and no artificial means were
employed to sustain prices. The
leading bulls appeared content to let
prices rise on the underlying strength
of the market.
The market appeared steadier and
healthier than for weeks past.
GUNNERS FOR JAP BOATS.
Large Number of Americans Serving
In Mikado's Navy.
Savannah, Ua., Feb. 10.—American
gunners and engineers whose terms
of service have expired in the United
States navy are being transported U

result being that the Japanese navy
has secured many of the finest gun :
ners in the world, and these at high
prices.
A. H. Willett, who is here, said
that for several weeks past the gun
ners and machinists anticipating tn<
war, which has been regarded on the
Pacific slope as inevitable, have been
passing through Portland en route
to Japan from all sections of the Unit
ed States.
