COSTA RICA ANU NICARAGUA
San Francisco, C'al., July *4 —
The Panama Star aid Herald of
June 8 contains au important let-
ter from its correspondent at Man-
agua, Nicaragua which shows
that war will probably result be-
tween Costa Rica and Nicaragua
over contlicting claim* to territory
on the south side of the San Juan
river. Some years ago the boun-
daries of the two countiies were
clearly defined by treaty, but the
Costa Ricans, jealous of the pros-
perity that will follow work on
the Amorican canal across Nicara-
gua, have revived an old quarrell
over the boundary line, and claim
that the canal skirts their territo-
ry for fifty miles, sod shall not
be dug without heavy money com-
pensation to them. The result
will be war if the present party
rems^ns in power. The corres-
pondent says Costa Rica in her
senate literally me'ntains war is
unavoidable and proof of this is
given by the statement of Gen.
tiuardia that the government is
not acting precipitately in taking
measures for the defense of its
borders, and they were liable at
any moment to be taken by sur-
prise in the same manner as Chili
so abruptly descended on Peru
So far as preparations are con-
cerned Coata Kica is better off than
we are; for she has recently in-
vested abroad $36,COO in the pur-
chase of military equipments (
among which is a battery of field
artillery. All stragetic points,
along the borders have been in
spected with a view to massing an
adequate body at the most vulner-
able point. It is also stated that
Coata Rica proposes buying one
qr more war vessels from Chili.
Nicaragua is endeavoring to get
herslf in readiness and has eight
battalions, amounting to 4000
men, stationed in the capital.
War talk is in every one's mouth,
but a prominent engineer, lately
returned to this country, forcibly
stated that it is not likely the Uni-
ted States government would tol-
erate any such action on the part
of Coata Rica. The Star and Her-
ald, in commenting on this news
denounces the action of Costa
Rica authorities and declares that
any trouble over the boundary at
this time cannot fail to injure all
the Central American states and
to postpone work on the new ca-
nal.
less condition and she died soon
after. It is said that for several
days past she gave out intima-
tions in the direction of her inten-
I tions, but they did not command
the serious consideration of her
associates. The cause, it is
thought, came from imperfect
health.
ROSS' PROCLAMATION.
Salllvan and Kilraln Prevented from
Fighting ia Texas.
Austin, Tex., July 4.—The fol-
lowing proclamation concerning
the prize fight was issued from the
executive office yesterday:
EXECUTIVE CFFICE, STATE OK TEXAS, )
Avstin.1. xas, July 4, itsy. j
To the Sheriff of Oranpe >r \ , or any

It may be that Sulivan and Kil-
rain, if prevented from fighting in
Louisiana or Alabama, will at-
tempt to come into your county to
commit an offense p^ainst the
public peace of this state. Should
they do so I direct you to use all
lawful means to prevent the same.

0a the Way to Battle.
Cincinnati, O., July 4.—Kilrain
and his party arrived this morn-
ing at 9:45, nearly two'.hourB late
and too late to take the Queen &
Crescent train, which he expected
to leave on. Leaving the car at
the depot where there were few
admirers to greet the pugilist,
they went to a hotel to spend the
day and will leave thia evening on
the Queen & Crescent line. Kil-
rain's face is said to have a tired
appearance, but in answer to a
question, he said he was in ex-
cellent condition and never felt
better. His muscles have tin ap-
earance of proper training and
e says he is confident he will
win the fight. Both he and the
members of his party say there is
no foundation for the talk about
there being no intention to have a
fight. They are on the way to
battle and expect no stoppage in
proceedings from any cause what-
ever.

Bittea By a Rattleeaake
Denison, Tex., July 4. —Last
night a German youth by the
name of Bcherffin who is employed
onthe farm of J D. Braley, was
snake bitten while removing a sad-
dle in the corn bin. The rattle-
snake drove its fangs into the left
arm ofScberffin, who ran to the
house with the snake clinging to
his arm. Mrs. Braley killed the
snake with a mop haodle. Mrs.
Braley, who was born and raised
in E&ateia Texas, states that she
has frequently witnessed the ap
plication of cocklebur poultice>
which has never failed to relieve
the patient. A tea* is also made
flf the snake.- The ; cocklebur
poultice was applied to the arm
of Scherffin; and he also drank
pint of whiskey. When Dr. Gar-
dens visited Scherffin this morn
ing he was resting easy and the
A remittance of $90 was received at
the treasury from Cleveland u a contri-
bution to the "conscience fund." I had
a talk with the chief clerk of the division
of public money* in the treasury depart-
ment about it The money no received
ia not kept in a separate fund, but is
turned Into the treasury the same as
money that comes in from other sources
of revenue. The amount received each
year appears In the annual re porta. It
varies a good deal. One year it may be
$500 and the next $0,000. It is usually
made up of small sums, though not in-
frequently single remittances run up Into
the hundreds and now and then Into the
thousands
HOW THXT abi MOW*.
It will be understood that these amounts
are sent by persons who have, purposely
or otherwise, defrauded the government,
and are induced by the smitings of con-
science to make restitution. In forty-nine
cases out of fifty the money is sent in
such a way as not to afford the slightest
possible clew to the identity of the sen-
der. The fact that Uncle Sam has the
money seems to be a sufficient sedative
to the perturbed oonscienoe, without that
"open ooufession" which is said to be
"good for the soul." Sometimes brief
explanatory notes are sent, stating for
what the money ts due the government,
but a signature of any kind is extremely
rare. Some merely say, "This money be-
longs to the United States," or words of
similar purport. In many cases there is
not s scratch of pen or pencil, the money
l>elng simply inclosed In an envelope,
perhaps folded In a sheet of blank paper
All such are presumed to be cases of
"conscience" and are so treated. It is,
of course, impossible to give any receipts
for tlio money. Now and then one will
wrtte, "Please acknowledge receipt in
tho newspapers." This is the reason why
care is usually taken to have the receipt
of "conscience money" mentioned in the
Aasocbited Press dispatches. The senders
are likely to be watching for such items,
and when they see that the money is in
the treasury they no doubt feel that they
are in better shape for the final reckon-
ing in the hereafter.
"The only cases," said the clerk,
"which have anybody's name connected
with them are those similar to one we
had a year or two ago. A Catholic priest
in Boston wrote that one of his parish-
ioners, on his deathbed, confessed to him
that ho had wronged the government
out of $50. De oould not die in peace
without making restitution, but desir«*.i
that his name be withheld. Tho prie*»t
Indorsed the amount, with Interest for
nine years at 8 per cent., $86 in nIL Tbe
man evidently didn't want that debt to
bother him in the next world and pro-
long his stay in purgatory. The prieet,
of course, signed his own name, and we
acknowledged by letter the receipt of
the money. We have had a number of
Instances of that kind, in which con-
science seemed to bo quickened by
serious illness or the confessional.
"The most common reasons giving for
{•emitting, when the senders make any
explanation at all, are that the money is
due for internal revenue taxes or cus-
toms duties evaded, or for fruuds to avoid
tho payment of postage. I remember
one case of a wealthy lady who, after
spending some time abroad, returned to
this country, bringing with her a valua-
ble article of wearing apparel- I think
it was for her personal use, and not
strictly dutiable, but ber conscience
troubled ber about it. She went back to
England, and while there told the story
to one of our oonsuls, requesting him to
aaoertain what would be the amount of
duty on such a garment He did so, and
she promptly remitted it to us. She sent
with it a nice little note explaining the
matter. It was fuD of contrition, and
expressed the hope that Uncle Sam
would forgive her. But sho hadn't th«
courage to sign ber name to it
FOOB BIO BILLS.
"A single inclosure of $4,000 is the
largest amount I remember to have been
received from one person. It was a lit-
tle singular that for this large sum there
was absolutely nothing to show whence
it came except the postmark on the en-
velope. Even that may have been mis-
iing. aa it is quite possible that the
repentant sinner sent it away from home
to be mailed. Ho was evidently very
careful to oonoeal his tdeuHty, aa the
money was in four $1,000 biUa. Upon
the paper wrapped around the money
■ written: 'Please place this to the
credit of Conscience,' and that was alL
A draft you know, would have fur-
nished a clow that might easily have
been followed up, if we had chosen to
pursue the matter. I do not remember
ever receiving conscience money1 in an
other form than currency. They
too smart to send drafts or money or-
ders.
'I remember one remittance as small
as ten cents, and that was a funny case,
too. The money was Inclosed in quite a
long letter, unsigned, in which the Wri-
ter said that when a boy he reoeived a
letter from a friend, the three cent post-
age stamp on which had escaped can-
cellation. Mors in a spirit of mischief
than anything else, be detached the
stamp and used it on his answer to the
letter, thus making it do double duty,
and cheating the government out of
three cents. He wrote that although it
seemed like a trifling matter it al-
ways troubled him—on the principle, I
suppose, that 'it is e sin to steal a pin,
even though It may be greater to steal a
tater.' It has been nearly twenty yean
since the offense was committed, and
the writer said he presumed the interest
would increase the debt to seven or eight
oenta He inclosed ten so as to be sore
there would be enough."—Washington

The following are a few of very
many cases that Dr. Prentice operated
on and treated in this state *
' Piles.
' 0 _
Mr. David Kearse of Colorado City,
Tex., has suffered severely since the
war with piles. lie saya he ha? tried
every kind of treatment, even to burn-
ing them away, but has never been
cured antil Dr. Prentice of Fort Worth
gave him only one treatment, which
has entirely cured. Hia praise of Dr.
Prentice is almost unbounded.
• PHes.
Mr. T. J. Key of Hunnels, Tex.,
has been troubled for years with piles
so he could not ride or attend to busi-
ness. Dr. Prentice cured him per-
fectly in one treatment.
Ptlsa.
Mr. James M. Jordon of Christian,
Palo Pinto county, Tex., suffered
many years with tho piles. Was cured
by Dr. Prentice of Fort Worth in one
reatine.it. And others among whom
are many ladies who have found per-
manent relief by one treatment from
Dr. Prentice.
Fort Worth Gazette, Feb. '86
Mr. B.C. Rhorae of Rhome, Wise
county, Tex., brought his wife to
consult Dr. Prentice, the occulist, at
Fort Worth one week ago. His wife
had an operation performed ten years
ago for an strabismus or cross eyes ;
the operation was not a success, and
they much doubted if the eye could be
made Btraight. Dr. Prentice operated
in a half a minute one week ago, and
to-day the eye is perfectly straight.
Mr. Rhome and his good wife are both
much pleased
Granulated tad Ulcerated Eyes.
My eyes have been in bad shape for
eight years and at times I have been
almost blind. I have had them doc-
tored by a great many people in a
great many|ways until I grew to think
1 never would get relief. I have been
obliged to remain for days in a dark-
ened room aud suffered more than the
human tongue can tell. Ten days ago
I placed myself under the care of Dr.
Prentice at the Ellis house, aud in
that short time he has made my eyes
better than they have been for many
years. 1 am well pleased with what
Dr. Prentice has done for me.
J. W. Kersh.
Union Depot, Fort Worth, Tex,
Judge J. M. Lindsay of Gainesville.
Tex. Mr. Lindsay is a man well and
favorably known in Texas. He was
under Dr. Prentice's care fowr years
ago, and says in the conclusion of a
letter recently written to Dr. Pren-
tice: ''Your treatment has boen of
great service to me, and I can but feel
kindlv toward you. Will be glad to
hear from you at any time." Yours
truly, J. M. Lindsay.
Judge M. D. Priest's little daugh-
ter, Robie, after being cross-eyed
many years was made as handsome as
a Spanish beauty by Dr. Prentice
straightening her cross-eye in less
than one minute. This was only one
case of cross-eyes in a hundred that
Dr. Prentice made perfect eyes, where
before they were badly crossed.
Nlobslas MoCey.
Mr. Nicholas McCoy, living ten
miles north of Fort Worth, while re-
pairing his wire fence 6ix weeks ago a
wire staple flew out and stuck both
points into his eyeball; this was the
only good eye he had, the other being
blind. He suffered tortures for three
weeks, not being able to sleep any.
lie went totally blind, and was about
crazy with grief and nervous prostra-
tion, In thiB condition he was led in-
to Dr. Prentice's office at Fort Werth
and marvelous as it may seem, he was
again restored to good sight by Dr.
Prentice.
Fort Worth Gazette, Feb. 24, '8(5.
