I know that you and Martin Bloom, bere, came to me at midnight last night and proposed a scheme for half a million or fo. You had located the bonds purchased by the First National Bank for St. Crr last week. I agreed to negotiate them, though if will be risky business, and you under took to produce them. Besides doing that you seem to have killed the old man.” “Don't affect innocence, Max. That was part of the original plan, and you are ps ucep in the mud as we ara in the mire. 1 hate Liypocrisy.” “Not more than I, go tell what you've dene. and what the chances for detection are.’ “There is no danger. After Ileft you 1 struck an idea—an inspiration.” “I jndged, so since the papers announce thst the police know the perpetrator to be one (ole Winters, with whom I have a slight acquaintance.” ; The man smote his thigh avd laughed coarsely, though ¢t the same time he took care to moderate his voice. “Yes, but the burden fell on him through the merest accident.” “How so?” “He rescued Berenice —-" “I read all abont it.” “The old man tock him home, and, in my hearing, told him that the bonds were in the safe. Then he engaged him to care for his property during the prospect ive sbzence of himself and daughter in Europe.” “Quite providential.” “Yo crown all, he presented him with a ring which he had worn for more than twenty years, and invited him to pass the night in the houss.” And the inspiration?” “Was the ring.” “I don’t see——" “This morning it was found in the death-1ocked hand of the old man.” “You're a genius, Al! But tell me all about it.” A “After we left you last night, we went at once to Culumet avenue, where I en tered the house by means of keys with which I was shrewd enough to provide myself months aco. We found the old man siill in the library, and—don't say there's nothing in luck after this—actu ally enga ed in looking over the bonds and making memoranda for his new steward curse him!” “fo you conld have got along without me, an my ab lity to pick a lock and crack a gopher, to say nothing of a little tov safe hike that,” interjected Bloom: "Well, I'm in the deal, an’ I propose to stay there till the last card's dealt and the game won - or lost.” “Don’t croak!” snarled Sears, “well, we made a bargain. As Martin wouldn't be called on to llow open the safe, I traded work with him and let him tend to the old man. He was weak and couldn't have lived long, anyway.” “Hist!” warned Bloom, nervously. “Not so loud. You're just as guilty as ] am, both of you.” “Nonsense! This isn't a question of guilt, it's a matter of business. : y GS 2 urged Morris impatiently. “ appropristed the bonds and wha ables Mart hadn’t already gto in his pockets, I went, up stnl after the young man, youl fo : es-captiring the old to have made a decide im 1 the suseevtible heart of wy jttle Berenice.” : | ill him there?” THEY BAY. PY NZ7IAS MIDETUMMER, CHAPTER V, CTRICTLY CONFIDENTIAL, ELP yourselves fo chairs, gentle men,” said Sears, with what was meant to be a laugh, but which gounded more like a groan, as he seated him go!f upon a board. “Your apart ment is not a very clegant one,” re pied M orris, “Eh, Bloom?” “No,” respond ed the third man, “but it's quiet, and our business is strictly confi dential.” With this, Bloom seated his heavy form upon tbe box which concealed our hots with a vio Jence that threat ened the destruc. tion of the lid. “Now the whole story,” said Mor » 8 “Don’t be stupid, Mex. I didn't kill “Don’t be stupid, Mex. 1 didnt Kill him at all.” “Then you've bungled matters in a way 1 didn't think possible!” “Stop croaking. Ihad abetterscheme.” “Out with it.” “First, I put hm under the influ. ence of chloroform. This done I closel the ring in the hand of old Panl, and when Winters had revived a little forced a good dose of your elixir down his throat.” “(Capital idea! And then?” “He become as tractable as a lamb and went with us {0 a room in the block below here.” “And is there now?” ! “Can't gar.” “You don't mean—" “That we left the door Spe go that be could walk out when he wakened.” “That was foolish!” “Why so?” “He will tell all he knows.” “Which is nothing.” “And what then? "He will be convicted and hung.” “But the case against him—how strong wiil it be?” “He will plead guilty.” “Talk sensibly!” “I do. When he is searched the most damaging e idence will be fonnd uj; on him. In hic pockets there are numerous articles taken from the St. Cyr Louse, including the old man’s watch and din mond pin. Besides, sewed up in his shirt are one of the bonds and the bean titui set of jewels presented Berenice by her father yesterday, What do you think of that?” ; “Geod, Better then I expected of you.” : “And there's lots of blool on his clothes,” added Bloom, “ar | some of my best saws, files, and keys in | is j ocke's,’ “You've done well!” cried Morris, en thusiastically. “Only—-" “What's the matter now?” “You might hive put in something of Jess value then the jewe's nnd that Load, which is for £5,000,” “You deny it, Morris, but you're a Jew, and a mean one, Those things are trifles. Besides, they will all comc back.” “How?” “They will be found and turned ove: to the daughter.” “I suppose 80.” “Whi-h is a roundabout but no less certan way of getting them in'o mj hands, since I'll be her husband w thin year,” a a “Well!” cried Morris, admiringly, “bul you are a more comprehensive rasea than I ever imagined.” “But she suspects you,” warned Bloom “She won't very long.” “And the landed property you get wit her?” Snegesied Morris. “We'll divide the same as the bonds You and Mart help me through, and yor shall have at of it between you net.” “That's fair. Speaking of the bonds where are they?” “1 was afraid 1b carry them abot anc had to take some chances in digposing o them, until we met here to-night.” “Where are they?” cried the two other in a breath. With bis ear against the narrow open ing our heroawaited the response. H had learned the details of the inf mou p'ot, and was about to locate the immens: stolen property. A moment later he knew the secret, bu it sent consternation instead of joy to hi | heart, | “Those bonds,” wuisperea dears, “the is the fifty-nin2 of them, are in that bo | that Mart Bloom is gitting on!” A RUN OF GOO LULZ Only for an instant did the stont heart of Co'e Winters sink with'n him, He was poseesse! of true Americin grit, and a moment's reflection decided him to profit, if possible, by his sad pre dicament. The box was about one-third full of old rags and pe ves of cloth, and among these he began feeling, taking care to make no noise. Almost immediately his search was re: warded by the discovery of what seemed to be an envelope or wrapper nearly an inch in thickness, He was in the act of tr nsferring this to one of his boot legs when a thought struck him, While at the exposition the precaqing night he had taken quite a number of the circulars of different city firms represent. ed there, his object being to ¢ 11 «tn some of them and try to secure employment. To his joy he found that they were still in his pocket. It 1equied but a moment for him to chance these papers forthe bonds, thrust. ing the latter into his boot and replacing the envelope where he had found if, This done, he turned his attention once more to his enemies. As he did this, the door clesed and the key turned in the lock. “Well?” queried Sears. “They're after him,” replied Bloom, who bad just entered, “That's what caused the racket,” “Who?” *The police! They're after Winters.” “Has he been seen?” ~~ “They had him once, but be bioke away; nt least that's the talk on Clark street.” “They may conclude {fo search tle buildings along here,” enggested Morris, “Prue,” assented Sears, “and we'd bet ter be getting out.” “Right you are!” cried Bloom. “Secure the picture cards, and we'll vamooss thé ranch.” | He pointed to the rough box, and in a moment the young man had sprung for ward and thrown it open. With a ery of dwmay he sisggered back. “We're betrayed,” he hissed, drawing and cocking a revolver. | “What's the racket!” demanded the burglar, imitating his example. “There's some one in the box. Make a move, and you die for it!” The warning was addressed to the un. known intruder. “Bring forward the light. Max,” he con tinued, “while we keep him covered.” “Thunder!” ejaculated the lost named individual as he fl she | into the box the penetrating rave of a dark lantern. ~~ “What is it?” queried Sears, i 2a dead man!’ “No, he's drunk.” “Thunder,” eried Morris. “What's the matter now?” “Hanged if it ain't our man, Cole Win. ters!” : Another moment rnd three pairs of eyes were glowering upon fhe apparently inanimate form of our hero. “How came he here?” asked Morris. “Slipped in to evade the police!” re plied Sears. “Is he dead?” “Xo; don't you see he's breathing?” “The close quarters and lack of ai have revived the power of the drug, that’s all. Lend a hand.” A moment later Cole was lifted out and laid, or, rather, thrown upon the floor. “Look for the bonds!” urged Bloom. “Here they are,” innounced the young man, as he drew forth the pi kage upon which our hero bad thoughtful y replaced :he rubber band that held it to, ~ther. CHAPTER VI. A RUN OF GOOD LUCK, “cap if they're all right,” importnned AY RL A A A i ar dK able packet into his pocket. valu “What are we to do with him?" asked Mot. is, giving the form upon the floor 8 kick. “We'll leave him hete, aud take good pains (het the police fearch the buil ling. Oh! we're in for a run of good luck.” “I don't know about that,” declared Bloom, lngubriouslv. “Why?” demanded both the others. “The newsboys are crying out extras with a bal p'ece of news, outside. I for got to tell yon when I came ih.” “What's that?” rghed Sears. “The sudden death of Berenice Bt. i ' “Yoti don’t mean tht?” “No, I mean that!” The burglar emphasized the final pro noun, and pointed nt Cole Winters. He had borne without wincing his ru'e fall to the floor and the brutal kick of the so-called banker, but the sudden an nouncement of the death of her who, though the pofaainidsce of an hour, had made an ind libls impress on upon his | eat, was too much jor him to bear. He had fersotten his perilous position, and with eyes wide open had half risen to a silting posture. “Confusion!” cried Sears, at the same time producing his pistol. “You'ro keener than I imagined,” said Morris in admiring tones. “You ought ib be a financier, Mart. You're wasting your talents on burgling.” In the meantime our here, seeing that nothing ws to be gained by further sim. u'ation, had risen to his feet, and with folded arms stood confronting his armed enemies, “What have you heard?” demanded Morris. : “Don't turn fool in your old age, Max,’ sneered Seis. “He's heard everything, of course!” “I heard you say that Miss St. Cyrw 8 dead,” faltered Cole, who h d instantly re lized that he had been trapped. “I isn’t true, I'm Bre it isn’t.” “I guess you're right, Mart Bloom is a conscientious, truthful man, but I'm afraid his magination was rather active when he made that statement, Bly pretty Berenice will have a piece of news to worrow, : nd, what's more, it will have the metit of being true.” “And that is —" “An acconnt of your death!” “Good enough!” ejaculated Bloom, while Morris breathed heavily thro gh his close-set teeth, “Do yon mean to murder me?” demand ed Cole, taking a backward step and clinching his hends. » “Ob, my, no! That's a rotigh word, We propose to remove you.” “You're # lot of miserable cowards!” “You're becoming rather perso inl, Mr. Winters, but I'il overlook it in view ol vour excited condition. Besides, to fel the truth, you are about ri ht, We are a little Lit afraid to leave you running aroun loose. (ole Winter; looked from the sneering face of the young m.n lo the cold, im pass ve one of the money- lender, and realized that no chan-e for life would b given him. “I'll make one for myself,” I'e decidec suddeni This resolution formed, he dealt youn, Sears a blow which sent his revo'ver fly fog arross the room, and I'rought hin teavily to the floor. He ‘was int the act of following up hi advantage by assaulting Morris, whe his arms were seized from behind. Although unusually streng and active our heio was ss powerless (0 move as | held in the grasp of one of (he giants de scribed in the romances of his boyhood. He struggled and plunged, but th strength o: Martin Bloom so far sur passed his own as to render his eff rts en tirely futile, Than he bethought himself of hi voice, “Hel—" The word was fairly driven bck int. bis throat by the brutal hand of Morris which descended heavily npon his mouth “Let me at him!” shonfed Sears, wh hal 1egiined his feet and drawn a mur derous knife. “Hist!” warned Morris, 1aising h’ hand and stepping between the enrage young man and his intended victim, “Don’t we want to get rid of him?” “Yes, but not that way, A blow has de prived you of everg iden save that revenge,” “He mus’ di.” “Prue, but it must be accidental.” “How?” “Jhat’s for you to decide.” “I'm equal to the emergency.” Reason had gained the sup:emacy ove rage, and Almon Sears langhed movk ingly and smote his white hands lo gether, “Geod! What do vou propose?” “This way.” Leaving Bloom in charge of the prigor er, Moiris took the dark lantern and fo! lowed the other to the rear of the lon apartment. Neor the back wall the young ma stopped, and stooping over bezan tuggin at a ring in the floor. After a little a section of the floor bega toc move, and a moment later a trap-doc had been laid back, leaving an apertiu: come four feet square from which a clos almost stifling smell arose. “What's that?” queried Morris, at il same time recoiling from the opening. “It's a cellar, just the place for us. “How came you fo know about it?” “Mart and I brought some plunder he over a moath azo. We spent the great part of a night here. I like to know tk nature of my surroundings, andthe diffe ent avenues of escape in the event of surprise, and so surveyed the premises, “What's below?” “Nothing But foul gases and death.” “But his body wiil never be foun there?” “Won't it? I'll airange that matte It will not only be found, but with what will be regarded as certain pro that he was accidentally killed by fallin through the open trap.

A week of terrible fears ensued after the arrival of the revenue cut ter Corwin, Minister Will 8 held the menace of using force with the provisional government and the citizens got in readiness to rush to arms, though it was generally believed that the minister way bluffing. ~All is quiet at Honolulu, The provisional government has a force of men under arms and the palace strongly fortified.

A struggle followed, and the son finally killed the father by beating him over the head with a gun, breaking the stock and bending the barrel, Rufus then ransacked the stand drawer, where he knew his father kept his money.

Hnte Inson, acting master,in hig address to the State Grange, at Winchester, expres:ed regret that he could not point very cheerfully to the results of the order in Vir ginia. “Ido uot think, however,” said Mr. Hutchinson, “that any grange has become dormant. Iam eure that one, Providence, Norfolk county, bas heen revived, and if those good brothers and sisters wou! devote their {me and attention to extending # their usefu'ness and broadening their work for good rather than internal contentions they would be a grand assistance to the or der in the State and undoubtedly be of great value to their locality. It may be true that we in Virginia are weak, but the order Is gtrong—strong In numbers, strong in intel. | Ject, strong in its purpose to do good for the farmers of Amerlea—and it Is growing in strength, prosperity and usefulness, “Unfortunately the change in admin’stra tion has t ronght a change in the kindly re lationship that bas heretofore existed be {ween the grange and the Department of Agriculture, Ihe present Secretary, Hon, J. Sterling Mo: ton, has chosen fo set himself up as an opponent to organized agricullure and to even ijusult such organization and those who urge organization Lefore the con gregated representatives of the world’s agri culture assembled as the guests of the Col umbian Exposition in Chicago. The National Grange very paturally, very promptly and very properly resented such action in a dig pified and maaly way. “There seems to me to be great need for agricultural organization in Virgins, Un fortunately, while the harvest is indeed ripe, the labors are few. How to reach the peo p'e of Virginia and present to them the neces tity for united action, in a nou-po‘itical or gaunizat on of the farmers, it we cver expect or need hope for relief from the burdens borne by our class, is a problem that is bard to solve. Yet ours is a labor of love—love for a cause and love for principles as sound as were ever enunciated to a people, “This country ean expect nothing fn the future unless it comes through the farmers, ' In the giddy pursuit of wealth the very mor ality of o ur na ure is being sapped, anl the rising generation is confronted with a probs lem of how can we undo the teachings that | surround us, how can we uproot the evils | that are cndangering morality and iberty, "and in sheer desperation the people are dr.ven to look—from the gamlling hells of our boards of trade, from tte sanded sugar ani bogus coffee of our mereantile establish men's, from the poisonous aud degraded liquors aud drugs (hat are sold ag pure, and from the shoddy and adulteration that moet {he consumer on all sides—to the pure air of the country, to the country mother’s knee, where she rears her bright-eyed boy in fear of God, Ys, here, and there alone, must the country seek relief.

The meeting was held in the hall of the Chamber of Commerce, Richmond. Mr. Ellyson bric fly stated the object of the meet ing, which, he gaid, was to d’scuss the needs of building associations of Virginia as to leg jelation. He said that the Jaws on the sub. jeet were vague and uncertain, tbat the bus iness was legitimate as apy other in the State, and that it had the right to expect the protection of law. He stated that the sub ject of tuxation wos au important and per tinent one, The Lody was then organized by the election of Mr. Ellyson as chairman and Mr. A. L. Payne, of Roanoke, secretary.

Secretary Carlisle has directed that the clerical force of the sixth Auditor's office be at once reorgan fzed, The reorganization includes the abolishment of the examining division and the division of re view and numerous changes in the other divisions, all in accordance with the recommendations of the report of the Dockery committee to Cogress. Some employees will have to be dropped and the republi cans in the office have an idea, prob. ably a correct one, thut they will al be republicans, Other things be. ing equal Secretary Carlisle wil give the democrats the preference every time.

Long In The Service Under this ca} t'on an article ap peared in the Richmond State of the 12th, written by a gentleman who spent the winter of 1887 in Richmond. relating to the rapid change of the personnel of the Leg islature. He notes the fact that only seven of those who were then Senators are now members of that branch, They are Messrs Arthur, Berry, Harrison, Hurt, Jones, Lov enstein and Stubb. In speeking of these gentlemen separately be has this to say of Mr. Jones “Senator Jones is as high-minded as the mountains in his own native eounty are high. This STATE's-man who writes of that statesman is syery partial to Senator Jones, of “whom he knows nothing but good. Mr. Jones is as vigilant as a senti nel, and no improp ter measure ev er slips by him unchallenged, He is a forceful speaker, and knows also how to be eloquent. He is al so a singer, and his rendition of »When the Baby Wakes up in the Middle of the Night” to the tune of “Home, Sweet Home,” is full of pathos, if lacking in melody.” So far as the above relates to om popular representative, Mr. Joncs we concede it to be a deserved com: pliment to him. - Martin Backus, of Stiliwater, Minn., is said to be the most absent minded man in the Northwest. The other day he forgot an engage ment to marry until three hours after the appointed time, and then he remembered it, but the name of his affianced bride, wholly escaped his mind. By the aid of the young woman's father and two brothers and a shotgun his memory was re freshed and a tragedy averted. Just asw: gr tr press wa lew n that Mr.®Donnel, U. S. Deputy ‘Msaishall has arrested Stephen S. “Wade of Back Creek, on the charge of illicit distlling, and is taking him to Harrisonburg. GENERAL ROSSER'S RO MANCE. How a Rival in Love and War Outwitted the Gal lant Rader. ington Post, was one of the bravest and most dashing cavalry officers in the confederate service, as hand some as he was brave, and as adept in the art of flirtation as he was skilled in the tactics of war. Amoag his numerous engagements his raid on Beverly, W. Va., has lingered the longest in his memo ry, not so much because of the raid itself as of its denouement. In the wee sma’ hours of a cer tain night in January, 1862, a par ty of Union officers were endulging in the pleasurers of a ball in the little town all unaware that the dashing Rosser with his cavalry was nding fast upon them. As they entered the town they made straight for the hall which was the only lighted building at that time of night, and they went, too, with ths din of exploding firearms and the blood-curdling Confederate yell. General Rosser was riding at the ‘head of his own column, and just before they reached the hall, where consternation reigned equal to that that Byron tellsubout in Belgium's capital, he saw a lady and gentle man run across the street in front of his advancing column and disap pear in a house, but in the excite ment of the capture and the confis cations of such stores as he could not take with him they were not pursued, About 9 o'clock that morning a mulatto boy brought him a note from Mrs. Blank asking the favor of his company at breakfast. He knew that meant a rebel sympa thizer, so he wrote a courtly accep tance, although he was suffering from a slight wound which he had received during the melee. Mrs. Blank was a lovely white-haired old lady of the Southern type while her daughter—ah!—was sim ply exquisite and captivated with. out delay the heart of the young cavaltyman. Girls were no differ ent then than they are now, anc given these romantie surrounding: what more natural than a ver} pronounced flirtation? Bat the orderlies kept running in for instructions, and as Genera | Rosser’s annoyance was noticeable the young lady suggested that the; | go up stairs to “mother’s room’ land to leave the mulatto boy ti say that he was engaged. Well ,th time of his stay was short; Unio forces were gathering and the Con federates must leave that night Vows of love and undying constan -| cy were exchanged, an 1it was witl |a sadly shattered heart that th |doughty young General marche | away a few hours later.

From the Staunton Daily News of the 14th inst. we take extracts of a lively scene which occurred in the county court room at Staunton on last Saturday. “The court room Was crowded with both prohibtionists and their opponents, who were interested in the contest over the local option election petition that was being tested before Judge Charles Grat tan of the Hustings court. Promptly at 3 o'clock p. m. Judge Grattan took his geat upon the bench and soon afterwards the discussion of the local option peti tion began, A. C. Gordon and Wil liam E. Craig, counsel for the liquor dealers, denying the validity of the petition, and J. B. Stephenson, of Harrisonburg, F. B. Kennedy and J. A. Alexander representing the prohibitionists. Messrs. Gordon and Craig alleged that the petition in question, which was filed January 10, 1804 was the same petition filed Dec. 14, 1803, and dismissed by the court. Con wderable legal sparring for advan tage of position was indulged in Mr. Stephenson waking the fight for the defence. Several sharp thrusts were made at one another during the discussion, that were of humorous character and were pro ductive of merriment in the large crowd of interesting spectators that filled the court room and the gallery. The contention made by Prohibition counsel that the peti 1tion of Dec. 14, 1893, had been withdrawn instead of dismissed, was decided by the record of the court as having been dismissed. After discussion, Judge Gratton | ruled also that it was a question | for proof that the petition in ques. tion was the same petition as that {of December, 14 1893. During hi {argament, Mr. Gordon quoted his | authorities and read opiu ions eliv: ered by lawyers named Bodley and Gibbs, respectively, and scored ¢ | humorous point when he said “You | see we have had Bodley and Gibb: on our side” Stephenson came back like lightning with the retort | “That's the first time you ever hac -| them on your side.” -| Continuing Mr. Gordon said tha ltake out the “Bread-and-butter’ | brigade on the petition there nev s|er would be enough signers t }| bring it into court. An allusio was also made to those who wer :| on it for revenue that was in it, it | which he didn’t except even Joh A. Noon; who was sitting insid .| the bar on the opposite side fror A. C Gordon, arose and said, M) Gordon, I denounce you as a lia in open court.” Gordon made 1 break in the direction of Noor ¢ | but was intercepi~d and order wa _| restored. Mr. Go.don telling Noo . he would seitle it outside, and apo _ | ogizing to the court. Judge Gra | ton reprimanded the parties an _| threatened to exclude the spect: , tors if any further demonstratior o | were made. Mr. Gordon then ra o sumed his argument closing abet 5 o'clock. In the meantime John A. Noo had moved over near A. C. Gordo: Just as the sheriff adjourned cou: Noon spoke to Gordon and instan ly each struck at the other sever: times, each scoring a lick. The h | was a rush to the scene of batt] ry | and soon the swaving bodies of | nien, the rattling of the chairs, t| ne | rapid sounds of blows, and ang 2D | words indicated a battle in whi ve| a number were engaged.

A NEW ENGLAND MIRACLE A RAILROAD ENGINEER RELATES : IIS EXPERIENCE. TY BOTH ARE RESTORED ATTER aw YEARS OF AGONY. [From the Boston Herald.) : The vast health-giving results already at. tributed by the newspapers throughout this country and Canada to Dr. Williams' **Pink Pills for Pale People” havo been recently supplemented by the cases of two conflrme] invalids in one household in a New England ‘town, The names of these people are Fred C. Vose, his wife and his mother-in law, Mrs, Oliver C. Holt, of Paterboro, members of the ‘same housshold, i Tothe Herald reporter who was sent to dnvestigates his remarkable cure Mr. Vose ‘said : “T am thirty-seven years old, and have /been railroading for the Fitehburg for fifteen years, Since boyhood I have been troubled ‘witha weak stomach. 1'or the past seven years I have suffered terribly and constantly. My stomach would not retain food; my head ached constantly and wus so dizzy 1 conld scarcely stand ; my eyes were blurred ; I hada ‘bad heartburn, and my breath was offensive. 1 had physicians, but they failed to help me, My appetite gave out, an 1 four years ago I developed palpitation of the haart, which seriously affected my breathing, Had fer rible pains in my back anl had to make ‘water many timesa day. 1 finally developed rheumatic signs and couldn't sleep nights, If I lay down my heart would go pitu pat at a great rate, and many nigbts I did not close my eyes at all. I was broken down in body and discouraged in spirit when, some time in February last, I got a couple of boxes of Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills. Be. fore I had finished the first box I noticed that the palpitation of my heart, which had bothered me so that I couldn't breathe at times, began to improve. 1saw that in go ing to my home on the Lill from the depot, which was previously an awful task, my heart did not beat so violently and 1 had more breath when I reached the house, After the second and third boxee I grew bet ter in every other respect. My stomach became stronger, the gas belching was not Bo bad, my appetite and digestion improved, and my sleep became nearly natural and un disturbed. I have continued taking the pills three times a day ever since last March, and to-dav I am feeling better than at any time during the last eight years, I can confl- | dently and conscientiously say that they have done me more good, and their good of fects are mora permanent, than any medi cine I have ever taken. My rheumatic pains in legs and bands are all gone, The pains in the small of my back, which were so bad at times that I couldn't stand up straight, have nearly all vanished, and 1 find my kid neys are well regulated by them, This is an effect not ~laimed for the pills in the cireu lar, but in my case they brought it about. I am feeling 100 per cent. better in every shape and manner.” + The reporter next saw Mrz. Holt, who said : “I am 57 years old, and for 14 years past I have had an intermittent heart trouble, Three years ago I had nervous prostration, by which my heart trouble was increased so badly that I badto liedown most of thetime, My stomach also gave out, and I had con tinual and intense pain from the back of my neck to the end of my backbone, fn 14 weeks I spent $300 for doctor billsand medi cineg, but my health continued so miserable that 1 gave 3 doctor'ngin despair. I began to tako Dr. Williams' Pink Pills last winter, and the first box made me feel ever so much hetter, I bavetakenthepillssince February, with the result of stopping entirely the pain n the spine and in the region of the liver, My stomach is again normal, and the palpi ation of the heart has troubied me but three imes since I commenced the pills,” . An analysis of Di, Williams' Pink Pills hows that they contain, in a condensed form, ll the elements necessary to give new life ind richness to the blood and restore shat ered nerves. They are an unfailing specific or such diseases as lo:omotor ataxia, partial nig St. Vitus’ dance, sciatica, neural ia, rheumatism, nervous headache, the after ffect of la grippe, palpitation of the heart, ale and sallow complexions, all forms of veakness either in male or female, and all iseases resulting from vitiated humors in he blood.

Ever: fig He ate was from some one else's tree Every drop of water He drank was fron some one else’s well. To pay His persona tax, which was very small, only 31% cents Hehad to perform a miracle and make fish pay it. All the heights and depths anc lenghts and breadths of poverty Christ meas ured in His earthly experience, and wher He comes to speak of destitution He always speaks sympathetically, and what He said then is as true now—'‘Ye have the poor al. ways with vou.” For 6000 years the bread question has heen the active and absorbing question. Witness the people crowding up to Joseph's store house in Eeypt. Witnees the famine in Sa maria and Jerusalem, Witness the 7000 hun gry peop'e for whom Christ multiplied the loaves, Witness the uncounted millions of people now living, who, I believe, have never yet had one full meal of healthful and nutritious food in all their lives, Think of the 254 great famines in England. Think of the 25.000,000 people under the hoof of hunger year before last in Russia. The fail ure of the Nile to overflow for seven years in the eleventh century left those regions depopulated. Plazue of ingests in England, Piague of rats in Madras Presidency. Plague of mice in Essex. Plague of locusts in China. Plague of grasshoppers in America. Devas tation wrought by drought, hy deluge, by frost, by war, by nurricane, by earthquake, by comets flying too nearthe earth,by change in the management of National finances, by balefnl causes innumerable, I pro ceed to give you three or four reasons why my text is markedly and graphically true in this year 1824, The first reason we have always the poor with us is because of the perpetual overhaul ing of the tariff question, or, as I shall call it, the tarific controversy. There is a neel for such a word, and so I take the responsi bility of manufacturing it. There are millions of people who are expecting that the present Congress of the United States will do some thing one way or the other to end this dis« cussion, bat it will never end, When I was five years of age. I remem ber hearing my father and his neigh bors in vehement discussion of this very question. Tt was high tariff or low tariff or no tariff at all. When your great-grandchild dies at ninety years of age, it will probably be from over-sxertion in discussing the tariff. On theday the world is destroyed, there will be three men standing onthe post office steps—one a high tariff man, another a low tariff man, and the other a free trade man—each one red in the face from excited argument on this sub ject. Other questions may get quieted, the Mormon question, the silver question, the pension question, the civil service question. All questions of annexation may come to peaceful settlement hy the annexation of is! ands two weeks' voyage away and the heat of their volcanoes conveyed through pipes ander the sea made useful in warming our continent, or annexation of the moon, de hroning the queen of night, who is said to 08 dissolute, and bringing the lunar popula Ions under the influence of our free institu ions ; yea, all other questions, National and International, may be settled, but this traffic! juesiion never, If will not only never be settled, but it can never be moderately quiet or more than three years at a time, each arty getting into power taking one of the our yearsto fix it up, and then the next| arty will fix it down, Our finances cannot’ ret well because or too many doctors, It is’ vith sick Nations ag with siek individuals,’ ere is a man terribly disordered as to his ody. A doctor is called in, an 1 he admin sters a febrifuge, a spoonful every hour. jut recovery is postponed, and the anxious riends eall in another doctor, and he says: ‘What this patient needs is blood letting ; cw roil up your sleeve!" and the lan et ashes. But still recovery is postponed, and ‘homecpathic doctor is called in, and ho dministers some small pellets and says: All the patient wants is rest.’ Recovery still postponed, the family say hat such. small pellets eannot amount to uch anyhow, and an allopathic doctor is alled in,. and he says, “What this patient ants is calomel and jalap.” Racovery still ostponed, a hydropathic doctor is called in, nd he faves “What this patient wants is ot and cold baths, and he must have them ight away. Turn on the faucet and get cady for the shower baths.” Recovery is ill postponsd, an electric doctor is called 1, and he brings all the schools to bear pon the poor sufferer, and the patient, after brave strugzle for life, expires. What illed him? Too many doctors. And that ‘what is killing our National finances, My ersonal friends, Cleveland and Harrison nd Carlisle and McKinley and Sherman, as | lented and lovely and splendid men as alk the earth, all gool doctors, but their | eatment of our lancuishinz finances is so ferent that neither treatment hasa full op- | ortunity, and under the constant changes it | simply wonderful that the Nation still ves, The tariff question will never be set- | od because of the fact—which I have never | | ard any one recognize, but nevertheless | | oe fact—that hich tariff is best for some | ople and, free trade is best for others, This | rifiic controversy keeps business struck | rough with uncertainty, and that uncer- | | inty results in poverty and wretchedness | Ir a vast multitude of people, Ifthe eternal | ¢ \b on this question could have been fash- | | ned into loaves of bread, thera would not | a hungry man or woman or child on all | « e planet, To the end of time, the words | | the text will be kept true by the tariffic | | ntroversy—*‘‘Ye have the poor always with | ¢ "+ Piha ] Another cause of perpetual poverty is the | use alcoholic.

Whatever | or cause of poverty may fail, the saloon | j y be depended on to furnish an everin- | asing throng of Paypers. Oh, ye grog- | ¢ ps of Brooklyn and New York and of all | voities ; yo mouths of hell, when will vy | ze to craunch and devour? Thereis no | ager of the liquor business failing. All | or styles of business at times fall. Dry | de stores go under. Hardware stores go | t der. Grocery stores go under, Harness | i kers fail, druggists fail, bankers fail, 1 chers fail, bakers fail; confectioners fail, | o the liquor dealers never, -It is theonly | ure business I know of. Why the per- | © nence of the alcoholic trade? Because, | t! the first place, the men in that businege, | b ight up for money, only have to put | if 0 large quantities of water more strych- | & i ! a of in if and they see bargains where are none. A common minnow to them a gold fish, and a quail a fla and a blind mule oxa towpath a Bu They buy when things are high est and sell when things are lowest. Some tells them of city lots out West, where foundation of the first house has not vet laid, They say, “What an opportun and they put down the hard cash for ornamented deed for ten lots under CHRALILY, yeu Jal ya ry A ar re ae city for rum than they did for clothing an: groceries. Another warranty that my text will prov true in the perpetual poverty of the world i the wicked spirit of improvidence. A vas number or people have such small income that they cannot lay by in savings bank o life insurance one cent a year. It tukes ever: farthing they can earn to spread the tabl and clothe the family and educate the chil dren, and if you blame such people for im providence you enact a cruelty, On such galary as many clerks and employes anc many ministers of religion live, and on siel wages as many workmen recoive, they can not, in twenty vears, lay up twenty cents Bat vou know and I know many who have competent incomes, and could provide some what for the future, who live up to every dollar, and when they die their chil dren go to the poorhouse or on the street. By the time the wife gets the husband buried, she is in debt to the under. taker and gravedicger for that which she can never pay. While the man lived he had his wins parties and fairly stunk with tobacco, and then expired, leaving his family upon the charities of the world. Do not senl for me to come and conduct the obsequies and read over such a carcass the beautiful litugy, “Blessel are the dead who die in the Lord," for, instead of that, I will turn over tha leaves of the Bihle to 1 Timothy v., 18, where it says: ‘“If any pro vide not for his own, and especially for those of his own house, ba hath denied <he faith, and i3 worse than an infidel,” or IT will turn to Jeremiah xxii., ‘19, where it says, a “He shall be buried with the burial of an ass, drawn and cast forth beyond the gates of Jerusalem.” I cannot imagine any more unfair or meaner thing than for a man to get his sins pardoned at the last mmute, and then go to eaven, and live in a mansion, and go riding about in a golden chariot over the golden streets, while his wife and children, whom he might have provided for, are begging for cold victuals at the basement door of an earthly city, It seemsto me thers ought to be a poorhouss somewhers on the outskirts of heaven, where those guilty of such im providence should be kept for awhile on thin soup and gristle instead of sitting down at the King's banquet, It issaid that the church is a divine institution, and I believe it, Just .as certainly are the savings banks and the life insurance companies divine institutions. Asout of evil good often comes so out of the doctrine of probabilities, calculated by Profes sor Hughes and Professor Pascal for games of chance, came the caleulations of the proba bilities ol human life as used by life insur ance companies, and no businaesg on earth is more stable or honorable, and no mightier mercy for the human race hag been born since Christ-was born. Bored beyond endurance for my signature to papers of all gorts, thers is one style of paper that I always sign with a fevling of gladness and triumph, and that is a paper which the life insurance company reqitires from the clergyman after a decease in his congregation, in order to the payment of the policy to the bereft household. I al ways write my name then so they can read it, I cannot help but say to myself: “Good for that man to have looked after his wife and children after sarthly departure. May he have ons of the best seats in heaven!” Young man! The lay before or the day after you get married 70 to a life insurance company of established reputation and get the medical examiner to put the stethoscope to your lungs and his ear 10se 1p to your heart with your vest off, and 1ave signed, sealed and delivered to you a locument that will, in the case of your sud len departure, make for that lovely girl the lifference between a queen and a pau per. I have known men who have had an in ome of £3000, £4000, #5000 a year, who did ot leave one fartn.uz to the surviving iousehold., Now, that man's death is a de alcation, an outrage, a swindle. He did not lie ; he ahsconded, There are 100,000 people n America to-day a-hungered through the in of improvidence. “But,” say some, ‘my ncome is so small I cannot afford to pay the remium on a life insurance.” Are vousurs bout that? If you are sure, then you have right to depend on the proriisein Jeremiah | lix , 11, “Leave thy fathe less children, I vill preserve them alive, and let thy widows rust in Me.” But if you are able to, remem er you have no right to ask God to do for our housshold that which you can do for hem ‘rourself. For the benefit of those young men excuse practical personality, Beginning my life's ork on the munificent salary of $800 & year nd a parsonage, and when the cali was laced in my hands I did not know how in re world I would ever be able to spend that mount of money, and I remember indulg 1g in a devout wish that I might not be ed ito worldliness and prodigality by suck an Yatpius of resources, and at a time when, rticles of food and clothing were higher, an they are now, I felt it a religious duty, a » get my life insured, and I presented my If at an office of one of the great compan-' s, and I stood pale and nervous lest the iedical examiner might have to declare, at I had consumption and = heart issases and a half dozen mortal ail ents, but when I got the document, hich I have yet in full force, I felt a sense f manliness and confldence and quietude nd re-enforcement, which is a good thing r any young man to have, For the lack of \at feeling there are thousands of men to ny in Greenwood and Laurel Hill and ount Auburn who might as well have been ive and well and supporting their families. hey got a little sick, and they were so wor ed about what would become oftheir house lds in case of their demise that their | ritations overcame the skill of the physi ans, and they died for fear of dying, I ive for many years heen such an ardent Ivocate of life insurance, and my sermon 1 “The Crime of Not Insuring” has been long used on both sides of the sea by oe chief life insurance companies that me people have suppossd that I receivel onetary compensation for what I have said 1d written. Not a penny. I will give any an §100 for every penny I hava received om any life insurance company, What I ve said and written on the subject has re ited from the conviction that these insti tions are a benediction to the human races, it, alas, for the widespread improvidence ! yu are now in your charities helping to pport the families of men who had mors come than you now have, and you can de nd on the improvidence of many for the uth of my text in all times and in all aces, “Yo have the poor always with | | u.”’ . Another fact that you may depend Jpon for | | rpetual poverty is the incapacity of many achieve a livelihood. You can go through ; y community and find good people with ore than usual mental caliber, avho never ve been able to support themselves and | eir households. They area mystery to ug, id we say, ‘I donot know what isthe atter of them, but there is a screw loose mewhere.” Some of these persons huve | } ore brain than thousands who make a landtd entcanace Ssiame ara ftoan canontina of th A oe oo aeit ARAYD PUL Ail QOS © strong men of the profession, neu ralgia stung him, Just as that physi: the Qan Was to prove his skill in an epi emic, his own poor health fmprisoned him. Just as that merchant must be at the store for some decisive and introductory bargain, he sits with a rheumatic joint on a pillow, the room r dott With liniment, What an overwhelming statistie would be the story ol men and women and ehildren impoverished by sicknesses! Phen the cyclones, Then the Njasesioi and Ohio freshets, Then tha stopping of the factories, Then the curculios among the peach treez, Then the insectile devastation of potato patches and wheat flelds. Then the epizootivs among the horses, and the ri horn among the herds. Then the rains that drown out everything, and the droughts that burn up half a continent. Then the orange groves die under the white teeth of the hoar frost. Then the eoal strikes, and the iron strikes, ‘and the mechanics’ strikes, which all strike labor harder than they strike capital. “Then the yellow fever at Brunswick and Jacksonville and Shreveport. Then the cholera at the Narrows, threatening to land at New York, Then the Charleston earth quake. Then the Johnstown flood. Then hurricanes sweeping from Caribbean Sea to Newfoundland. Then there are the great monopolies that gulley the earth with their oppressions. Then thers are the necessities of buying coal by the scuttle instead-of the ton, and flour by the pound instead of the barrel, and go the injustices are multiplied. In the wake of all these are HA fllustrations of the truth of my text, “Ye have the poor always with you.” Remember a fact that no one emphasizes— a fact, nevertheless, upon which I want to put the weight of an eternity of tonnage—~ that the best way of insuring yourself and your children and your grandchildren against poverty and all other troubles is by helping others. I am an agent of the oldest insurance company that was ever established. It is nearly 3000 years old. Jt has the ad vantage of all the other plans of insur ance—whole life policy, endowment, joint life and survivorship poiicies, ascending and descending scules of pre mium and tontine—and it pays up while you live and it pays up after you are dead, Every cent you give in a Chris tian spirit to a poor man or woman, every shoe you give to a barefoot, every stick of wood or Jump of coal you give to a fireless hearth, every drop of medicine you give toa poor invalid, every star of hope you make to shine over unfortunate maternity, every mitten you knit for cold fingers, is a pay ment on the premium of that policy, Ihand nbout 500,000,000 policies to ail who will go forth and aid the unfortunate, There are only two or three lines in this policy of life insnrance—Ps. xIi., 1, “Blessed is he that considereth the poor ; the Lord will deliver him in time of trouble, ” Other life insurance companies may fail, but this celestial life insurance company never, The Lord God Almighty is at the head of it. #nd all the angels of Sare are in its board of direction, and its assets are all worlds, and all the charitable of earth and heaven are the beneficiaries, ‘But,’ says some one, “I do not like a tontine policy so well, and that which you offer is more like a tontine and to be chiefly paid in this life.” ‘“Blessed is he that considereth the poor ; the Lord will deliver him in time of trouble.” Well, if you prefer the old fashioned policy of life insurance, which is not paid till after death, you can be ac rommodated, That will be given you in the day of judgment and will be hanwed you by the right hand, the pierced hand of our Lord Himself, and all you do in the right pirit for the poor is payment on the pres miuin of that lite insurance policy. I read you a paragraph cf that policy. “Then shall he King say unto them on His right hand, Come, ye blessed of My Father, for I was wingered, and ye gave Me meat ; I wasthirs y, and ye gave Me drink ; I was a stranger, ind ye took Me in; naked and ye clothed Me,’ » In various colors of ink other life insur nce We are written, This one I have ust shown you is written in only one kind f ink, and that red ink, the blood of the ross, Blessed he God, that is a paid up oliey, paid for by the pangs of the Son of sod, and all we add to it in the way ot our ywn good deeds will augment the sum of ternal felicitics, Yes, the time will come vhen the banks of largest capital stock vill go down, and the fire insurance ompanies will all go down, and he life insurance companies will Il go down, In the last great earthquake 1! the cities will be prosirated, and as a bnsequence all banks will forever suspend ayment, In the last conffegration the fire nsurance companies of the: earth will fail, or how could they make appraisement f the loss on a universal fire? Then 1! the inhabitants of the round world vill surrender their mortal existence, nd how could life insurance . companies ay for depopulated hentispheres? But ur celestial life insurance will not be armed by that continental wreck, or hat hemispheric accident, or that lanetary catastrophe.

NEW YORK, I'MILADELPHIA, The name of America for the new. ly discovered continent was first pro posed in the little volume put forth ai St. Die, in the Vosges. in the year 1507, by Wald.eemuller, better known by the Helized form of his name, Hylacomyius. Three or four editions of this treitise were pnb lished at St. Die before 1507, and a few years afterward an edition with out date was printed at Lyons by Jean de la Place. All these editions are of extreme rarity, and probably that printed at Lyouos is the rarest of all, though the library of the British Museum possesses two copies of it. i[t has never been suggested that any maps were engraved to aciompany either of these editions, but it bas always been supposed that the earli est map with the word “America” marked on the new-found world was the “Typus Orbis” engraved on wood for the ““Enarrationes Johannis Cam ertis in C. Julii Solini Polyistoria,” ptinted in Vienna in 1560 for Joan nes Singrenius. In this map the new world is represented as a long island, on which is the inscription; ““‘Annod 1497 hace terra cum adjacentibus in sulis inventa est per Columbum Ian uensem ex mandato regis Castelle. America provincia.” The Acarnanians were considerec the most skillful s!ingers of Greece. The e weapons were used not, only 10 throw stones, but balls of lead, an in some localities, especially in the Plain of Marathon, many of thesc metal projectiles have been found. The relics are interesting from the in scriptions and devices cut upon them, which consist of the names of persons and appropriate epithets, the legend in many cases meaning, when fully translated, “Look out.” | To make our own troubles the means of helping the froubles of others is a noble ef fort for good. A well illustrated instance of this kindly sympathy is shown in a letter from Mr. Enoch I. Hanscom, School Agent, Marshfield, Me,, an old Union soldier. Ho says: “It may do somzbody some gool to state, I am a man of sixty and when forty had a bad knee and rheumatism set in, I was lame three years and very bad most of the time, I got St, Jacobs Oil and put it on three times and it made a cure, Iam now in good health.” CRANKISM asa plea for assassina. tion is played out.
