T lie person alluded to above as ha\ iui7
bet n thus greatly bcnellted hy the use
of rink Hills is Mrs .lane Hotalen. of
Hainesvllle. N. .1 a pleasant hamlet in
Sussex County, about fifteen miles front
this office. The reporter bad no diffi-
culty In finding Mip. Hotab ii After a
few preliminary remarks in explanation
of the call, she was asked If she had
any objection to giving ns the details
nf the ease and how she entm* to try
lids r.uw famous reimdy.
Not at all. * said she. “K my c>po-
lienee can bo of any m od to others, I
am sure they are welcome to It -it can
do me no harm.”
"When were you taken sick and what
was the nature of the malady. was
asked.
"It was about two years ago. The
trouble was rheumatic In character—
r.elatica. they called It—and It was very
painful Indeed. The difficulty began in
hi| and i itendt I the whole length
of the limb, crippling mo completely.
I suffered intensely from It, and the or-
dinary treatment gave mo not the
r lightest alleviation. ! wa s und*r treat-
ment. about a month as staled, but grew
worse Instead of better, and was fast be-
coming discou rag ed. ’ ’
What brought rink I’ills to your
notice ?”
"My son called my attention to an
article in a paper, in which it was stated
that a Mr. St ruble, of Branch\ille. a
village in ibis county, had been greatly
benefited by limit* use. and suggested
that it would be a good plan to try
them. But I was skeptical In regard
to their value—in fact, l had no con-
fidence In their efficacy, and rather
laughed at the suggestion. But the
trouble increased and I was badly crip-
pled. A few days later my son wan
a bout to visit a neighboring town and
suggested again that it might l*e well
t.« try this imuh-tnlked-of remedy, and
I then consented *1° bought me a box
,.f them, and I began inking them at
one*. At the end of a week 1 noted a
marked Improvement, ami by the limy
I bad taken the first box I was able to
walk without a cane. I continued their
use, taking several boxes, and am. as
you see. iii a very comfortable state of
health.” . 4t
“Have you had any return of the
trouble?”
* Not HP yet. though at my time of
life, seventy-two. it would not be sur-
prising If 1 should have, if it comes I
should nt once begin tip* use of the pills.
I suppose I inherit a tendency to
iroubles of this kind my mother died
from them."

st! that tho American piople would never in

him the tight. Maher fought well,
but lie was no match for his red-headed
opponent, who proved himself one of
the craftiest men that ever stepped in
the ring. Fitzsimmons is now, by

Jon )\si-111 im. Feb. 21. Details are j
reaching this city of what is probably
oue of the most disastrous dynamite |
exnlosions 011 record in any part of |
tlio world. Thousand* of people have
been rendered homeless, about 1(H) 1
persons are believed to have been
killed, several hundred men, women j
and children have been seriously j
wounded nnd many others have been
more or less injured.
Yiendendorp, lha scene of the ex- |
plosion, is a suburb of Johannesburg.
Its inhabitants number the poorer j
classes of whites of tlie Hand, Malays,
Kaffirs and • liiiiaiuen, who subsist for
the most part, by doing odd job*about j
the place, which is u railway transfer
station for tne mining districts of the J
section.
Among the freight ears standing on 1
the (shunt mines at Yiendendorp
yesterday were eight trucks loaded
with dynamite. The deadly stuff was
hidden under canvas coverings to pro-
tect it from tlie sun.
As evening was approaching there
whs an explosion near the freight de-
pot. so intense tliut the ground for
miles around w as com iilscil n* if by
an earthquake. Houses rocked and
foil, masses of iron, eurtli, stone, wood
and human bodies were buried sky-
ward, aud the windows of almost
every house in Johannesburg were
broken. The explosion lore a hole
2(mi feet long and eighty feel wide
where the eight trucks of dynamite
stood 11 few minutes before. the
whole of that quarter of Johannes-
burg wus literally blown to pieces.
Tlie effects of the explosion could he
seen over a radius of more than a
mile, and almost everything within a
half niileof where the trucks had been
shunted for the night was razed to the
ground Iron work was twisted and
lorn stones destroyed and brickwork
, pulverized. Mu the ground were black-
ened shapes of human bodies, limbs,
heads, trunks, scorched and torn.
The victims were mostly Malays,
Kaffirs and 1 hlnamcn. the whiles be-
ing ill a minority ut V iemlendorp, out
in spite of this, quite a number of
white iM'ople. including six girls, are
among the victims of the calamity.
In fifteen minutes after the ex-
plosion occurred tne bodies of forty
dead persons, all terribly mutilated,
were carried away from the scene,
while the searching of the ruins eon-
tinued without intermission. Several
hundred wounded persons were taken
to places where they might be eared
for.
I11 addition to tlie wounded, thou-
R.imlsof people were tendered home-
less, and they must rely on the char-
itu hie for aid.
How the explosion occurred is not
known, but il is believed Ilia! u thiev-
ing Kaffir found his way to the shunt-
ed trucks and in trying to break open
one of I iie eases of the exidoslve.being
in ignorance of what it contained,
caused the disaster.
According to the latc-t estimate
about H*i persons have been killed and
about ;0o wounded badly. Several
of tlie wounded have sinee died of
their injuries.
