The porea of the skin are opened, the blood moves quickly through the reins and all Impurities are thrown ont ot the system. But when the weather Is cold, the porea are closed; the blood becomes thick and stagnant. It does not circulate properly and you feel weak and shivery. Most people feel chilly In winter for this reason. and that Is why colds and chills are so prevalent.

There Is, however, one way to keep from feeling these chilly sensations and avoiding; the dangers of wintertime. Many people have fortunately dis covered this way and are giving others the bene fit of their experience. F. Weltser of Newport, says! "I was very lck last winter with grip and pneumonia. I tried many remedies without getting relief until I waa pnrsnaded to taka Duffy's Pure Malt Whiskey.

The result waa that In a few days my aches and sains left me. I commenced to recover at once, and was soon comoletelr restored to health. J. K. Edwards, Los Angeles, CaL, says: "About live years ago i zoom a tern Die coia woica Kitted on mr loners.

I suffered continuously, and was unable to shake It off until I tried Duffy's Pure Malt Whiskey. It soon gave me back health and strength and effected a thorough cure." These cases and thousands of others like them furnish the best proof that for building up the system and driving off disease Duffy's Pure Malt Whiskey is unequal eL. Nothing has ever compared with It for stimulating and toning up the whole body and restoring the health. It shakes and arouses to sctlon the torpid blood. It promotes appetite, digestion, assimilation.

Taken regularly during the winter It Is a sure means of preventing coughs, colds, chills and pneumonia. CITY NEWS. Dr E. C. Chase.

Elxth and Locust. Set of teeth, W. TO SAVE HOLMES. The Story Now Toll by Privatt Detection ECorbett. CHICAGO, 111., Jan.

22. A local paper Bays: "If the story told by Kobert Corbett. a private detective, who has been in this city for a few weeks, working on the Holmes case, is true, II. II. Holmes is not guilty of committing a single murder in Chicago.

"The murder case is now pending in the Supreme Court of Pennsylvania and will come up for a hearing- within a few days and the defense is making- a determined effort to secure the reversal of the finding- of the Jury and lower court on technical grounds. "If these fail then the Information gathered by the defense will be resorted to and it is believed that they will be able to prove bevond a doubt that his alleged victim, Benjamin Pitezel, is alive and living within a radius of luO miles of the city of Chicago at the present time. "Corbett, who ha3 been running down the various stories charging Holmes with murder in Chicago, claims to have evidence showing that H. H. Holmes did not commit a single murder in the city of Chicago and that Holmes' confession regarding the dwtth of Nannie Williams is substantially correct.

"That the girl was beyond a killed on July 6 at the flat occupied by Holmes and Winnie 'Williams at No. Wrightwood avenue. The body was then taken to the 'castle' and burned. The skull found by the police at the 'castle' was that of Nannie Williams, as the mark and fractures show. Corbett also makes the following statement: "Minnie Williams is alive and has been seen on the streets of this city within the past two weeks.

Emellne Cigrandis alive and is now living in Iowa. Julia Conners and her daughter, Pearl, are alive and at Present living in Michigan and Holmes will be able to prove a complete alibi in regard to the murder of Howard Pitezel at Indianapolis. In concluding his statement Corbett said: "Holmes is a peculiar man and his relations with the various young women were the cause of his present predicament. FOR WOMAN SUFFRAGE. The National Associatien's Twenty-Eishth Annual Comvention.

WASHINGTON. D. C. Jan. 23.

The twenty-eighth annual convention of the National American Woman Suffrage Association will begin to-morrow at the Church of Our Father. The convention will continue through next Tuesday with a religious service at the church on Sunday, conducted by a woman minister. As a rule, less time will be devoted to the reading of papers on general subjects connected with the suffrage movement than heretofore and more time will be given to 'the actual business of the association. Miss Anthony, Mrs. Harriet Taylor Upton, Mrs.

Carrie Chapman Catt and a number of other women who have for years been actively identified with the suffrage movement are already here. They speak of the coming convention 1t. the most enthusiastic manner, and, with woman suffrage steadily training ground, especially in the Western States, they consLdpr that the outlook for the future is brighter and more encouraging than it has ever 'been since the question of giving woman the right to ballot was first raised in the country. Mrs. Elizabeth Cady Stanton, the veteran honorary President of the association, will not be able to attend the sessions of the convention, but she has promised Miss Anthony that she would send a letter to be read to her fellow-workers.

Although the accounts of the HaH-Choyn- ekl fight sent out Monday night gave no Indication that there was anything suspicious about thw contest, later information is to the effect that many good judges are sat isfied that Hall "laid down." For twelve rounds Hall had much the best of the go and it Is asserted that he frequently made Choynski look ridiculous by his exhibi tions of cleverness. Then he suddenly collapsed and Choynski, apparently, knocked him out. after one minute and fifteen sec onds of fighting. The exhibition waa so slow in the early rounas mai 11 cuuveyea the impression that there was a job. Tha-knowing ones figure out that it certainly wils a queer wind-up In view of the sunerioritv the Australian had shown over Choynski up to the time he was counted out.

Thoiie-h Hall did not aDDear to be strong enough to finish his adversary, even when he had him at his mercy, it was expected he would ret the decision on points or fight a draw, especially as Choynski was none too strong In the final round. Choynski and his manager, "Parson" Davles, ridicule the idea that there was anything wrong with the fisht. Chovnskl says he waited on Hall in the first part of the battle. Hall also adopted the same tactics. When Fitz beat Hall at 'New Orleans It was said the fight was not on the square.

Hall whipped Fitz In Australia, but Lanky Bob" claimed he had "laid down." This admission of Bob's had a tendency to create the impression that there waa something suspicious about the go at New Orleans. Up to he was knocked out, it will be remembered. Hall had all the beat of Fitz. HUH's friends are satisfied that he is on the level. Jim certainly has had no luck since he came to America, and will now pass into the second class.

Choynski says ne will be at the ringside to challenge the winner of the Maher-Fitz battle. PETER IN FAVOR. The Mexicans Think He Is a Grander Man Than Fitz. In a letter from Mahers training quar ters, John J. Quinn, the Irishman's mana ger, has the following to say: "Peter has his mind made up to win this fight if possible.

He will be trained to the hour, and I don see how he can lose. I think it is the biggest lay-down ever saw. Peter and Fitz stood together yesterday at the bull fight, and Peter looked as big as two of. him. The captain of the bullfighters was introduced to both men.

He said: 'Senor Maher much ze grander man; he make great Juarez, where the fight took place, is a queer little town in Mexico queer people, queer dress and plenty of pretty girls. All of them said Senor Maher will win he is a handsome man. He his mustache off now. It is a glorious climate here; far better than New Orleans." DOYLE-SELLERS FIGHT. Three Illinois Sheriffs Prevented It From Being Pulled Off.

Special to The Post-Dispatch. PEORIA, 111., Jan. 22. The Sheriffs of three counties kept a lot of prize-fighters and their followers on the go early xuesaay morning. Preparations had been made for a finish fight between Con Doyle of Chicago and Sellers, a neerro from Iowa, but the preparations were too bold and the authori ties combined to stop tne Dame, me men were notified that they could not fight in Peoria County, and when they went across the river to Tazewell County they found a posse and a special train waiting for them there.

Thev were chased ud the river five miles to Woodford County, but another posse awaited them at the line and after dayllgnt the sports strung back to town. It Is hardly probable that the fight can now be brought off: near here. FIVE NEW PLAYERS. Manager Diddlebock Says He Will Get Them This Week. In an interview at Philadelphia Tuesday Harry Diddlebock, tha new manager of the Browns, gave out some information that will be received with intense gratification by the local baseball enthusiasts.

The good news is a direct statement from Manager Diddlebock to the effect that the St. Louis Club will be increased before the end of the week by the addition of five new men. This would indicate that Von der Ahe and Diddlebock are figuring on big deal and it is to be hoped that it will go through all right. Von der Ahe signed Diddlebock Tuesday, and it is given out that Harry will receive the largest salary ever paid a baseball manager. According to Von der Ahe, Breit-enstein will be offered the limit, and Chris says he has positive assurances that Theodore sign for it.

The Browns will go to Dallas, early in March. Base Ball Notes.

Barrett, editor of Bearings, and one of the pioneer racing men of the country, in discussing the racing situation yesterday, said: "It looks very much bs though Class would be retained another year, as the L. A. W. officials appear to be afraid to ignore the wishes of the manufacturers and adopt the common-sense plan of only two classes amateurs and professionals. I think Class has served its purpose if it ever had any and there has been more scandal connected with it than was ever provoked by Jhe professionals.

I believe that men who ride for cash can be controlled, and we will have honest racing. As long as a Class man knows that he will only be transferred to the professional class for a violation of the amateur rules, he will not have much regard for those rules. It is much easier and less troublesome for meet promoters to put up cash, and all around the plan is the There is always likely to be some jobbery in cycle racing-, like in many other sports but we can make it very little by watchfulness, and this is just as easy when the men ride for cash as for medals."

Callahan, the speedy class rider of Buffalo, states that he will not do any racing the coming season. A woman's tandem is among this season's novelties, and is the first double drop wheel ever put on the market.

A. A. Zimmerman, the year before he joined the professional class, made $30,000. E. C.

Bald won in prizes and salary last year $10,000. It is estimated that over 10,000 persons were In attendance at the New York- cycle show Saturday night. The value of the exhibits exceeds $750,000. E. C.

Bald says he will remain In class as long as that class remains. There is some talk of abolishing it and transferring all the riders Into the professional ranks next month. "Solly" Smith and Young- Griffo will figure in a scrap as soon as they meet. Smith has been talking disparagingly of Griffo in the New York sporting resorts, and Griffo, wno is now la a hospital, threatens to whip him on sight when he gets out. Walter Sanger has disposed of the aia-monds which he acquired during his amateur days.

Pftini Id SOLDIERS AS EXECUTIONERS. The Htads ef th Riigletiera of the Massacre Hung on Trees at tha ces of tlit Crimt, SAN FRANCISCO, Jan.

25. J. C. Oswald of Chicago, who arrived on the steamer Coptic from the Orient, was an eyewitness of the execution of five men cho-ged with having been ring-leaders in the massacre of missionaries at Kucheng. The execution occurred at Foo Chow in the presence of a vast number of Chinese, only twenty-four Caucasians witnessing the death scene.

4 9 o'clock prisoners were brought upon the ground in wooden cages," said Mr. Oswald. "Each of them was conveyed to the tent, where we were sitting, and to him was read the death warrant, after his identity had been established. The mandarin that read the warrant stuck an arrow through it and pinned the paper on the back of the prisoner's coat. After this the doomed men were lead to the grounds where they were to die.

"Five patches of turf had been cut, and in each indentation a man knelt. When all was in the Court of Mandarins accompanied by the British naval contingent and the Foreign Consular officials' emerged from the tent and took up a position in front of the canvas. Then, amid an impressive silence, the crimes of the condemned men were recited to the crowd and the penalty was proclaimed. Two Hunan soldiers, splendid examples of physical development, acted as executioners They stood behind the five men, each prisoner having his head on a block. At a given word the executioners advanced Not the least sign of fear was visible on the face of the wretches whose heads were soon to fall.

The work of the executioners was very rapidly performed. With one stroke of the ax the head was sevej-ed tmm the body and in just three seconds the act waa t-onsuramaiea. a. ne Diooa poured from the neck of one man' for one and a half minutes after the fatal blow had been dealt. "The heads of the five ring-leaders were placed in buckets which were cut so as to give a full view of their ghastly contents They were taken to Kucheng, the scene of the massacre of ten Christian girls, and were there hung on trees, where they are probably still hanging.

To remove one of the heads means Immediate death to the offender." Pause and Consider.
