Savannah Tribune

National Guard Association Makes Demobilization Appeal for Revision of cases That have interacted with World War I Association. A special from the France, says: Private dept. imposed of treason of his country, degraded, dismissed from the French army and most bitterly punished will have another trial, this time by a civilian tribunal. As a result of the examination of all the evidence submitted to the two courts marital, which have passed on the question of Dreyfus' guilt, as well as the position of Dreyfus for a new trial and the additional facts brought to light by general Andre, and of war, the commission of reason, representing the court of cassation, reached a decision Wednesday favor of the revision of the case in his criminal branch of the court cassation. The court will assemble next month, and Dreyfus will then have full opportunity to make a complete exposition of the wrongs he has committed. The former captain, as a result of this new trial, expects to obtain a full and complete vindication, followed by restoration to his rank in the army. Though it had been announced that the revision commission would, reach a decision Wednesday evening, there were few persons outside the minister of justice, where the sittings of the commission were held, indicating that the interest of Parisians in the case is not as keen as it has been in the past. Droffus received the news of the decision of the commission through personal friends, who extended to him their earnest congratulations on his victory. There was absolute unanimity among the members of the commission. One member asserted that upon the facts presented, as the result of the investigation made by Captain Targe, an officer on the staff of War Minister Andre, another revision of the case was made possible. The details in the report of the commission have not yet been made public, but it is stated generally that the production of evidence which had not been submitted to the court martial at Rennes and the change of testimony on the part of some of the witnesses before the court martial, which entirely reversed the view as to the guilt of Dreyfus, brought about the decision of the commission to refer the case for retrial to a civil tribunal. American Exploring Party Can Find no Trace of Invaders. A Washington special says: Rear Admiral Glass, writing to the navy department from Panama, under date of December 13, reports that, with the view of investigating the movement of Colombian troops, he sent a scouting party fro mthd cruiser Boston to Santa Maria and Yaviza to communicate with the inhabitants and investigate the rumors of an invasion of the isthmus by the Colombian forces and to obtain information as to the practicability of such an invasion. The district visited HRDL HRDL RDUL scouting party reported all quiet in the district visited, and that they could get no knowledge of any movement of Colombian troops. Admiral Glass reports that while an invasion is possible, the progress of any considerable force must be slow, as roads would have to be cut and facilities for transporting larger bodies of men by the rivers are inadequate. Reporting on a scouting trip of the Atlanta, Admiral Cochlan says that a trail was found by which small parties can go from San Blas to Colon, but that the party neither heard nor saw anything of any Colombian troops having been in that vicinity.

In a blinding storm which swept Boston harbor Saturday afternoon, the new Clyde Line steamer Klowa, inward bound from Jacksonville, Fla., and Charleston, S. C., was rammed and sunk by the steamer Admiral Dewey, of the United-States Fruit Company, outward bound for Port Antonio, Jamaica, and Port Limon, Costa Rica. Captain Chichester and the entire crew of the Klowa, thirty-men, were rescued by a tug. The Admiral Dewey sustained practically no damage, and after laying to for the purpose of rendering possible assistance, she proceeded on her voyage. With several passengers and a big general freight cargo, the Admiral Dewey saluted from the city shortly after 12 o'clock. Owing to the driving snow storm the Dewey was making her way out at slow speed. A few miles beyond Boston Light, the Klowa appeared through the clouds of mist and snow, directly ahead. Before the course could be shifted the steamers collided. The Admiral Dewey struck the Klowa a terrible blow on the port sharp prow of the fruiter cutting in sharp prow of the fruiter cuttings in for a considerable distance. The damaged craft immediately begged to fill. A tug which was passing, ran alongside the Klowa and took off her captain and crew. This was a most difficult task, owing to the heavy sea, and in attempting to jump from their own vessel Do the tug some of the Klowa's men fell into the water. They were rescued, however. The Klowa sank shortly after the accident. She had a big cargo or lumber, cotton, naval stores, iron and general merchandise. The Klowa lies on an even keel, with her masts and top of her smoke stacks projecting above the water. Her decks are covered by eleven feet of water at low tide, and great difficulty will be experienced in lifting her.

One of the wrecks, a dredger, which swink within six miles of the wharves of Boston, resulted in the loss of three men; but in the case of the other-two, the skinking of the steamer Klown, off Boston light, and the wreck of the barge John. W. Mackey, off Watch Hill, R. L., everyone was saved. The storm center passed over northern New England during the foreoon and the snowfall throughout that section was heavy, especially in Malaue and New Hampshire, while wind velocities reached more than fifty miles an hour, were reported from some points. CHURCHMEN AS ROBBERS. Bank Presidid Over by Priests and Pretatee a Den of Crime, Advises from Frague, capital of Bohemia, estate that the St. Wenzel Savings bank, now in the bankruptcy court, will probably pay no more than 5 per cent to its depositors, and the papers are loud in advising people not to mix "religion and business." The St. Wenzel bank was presided over by Monsignor Drozd, while abbotts, prelates, deacons and other high ecclesiastics were on the board of directors. The trial of these gentlemen shows that $5,000,000 or $6,000,000 were stolen during the last twenty-five years without anybody in authority noticing it. The directors admit that their bank statements were a compound of lies for twenty or more years, and that the thieving cashiers and tellers regarded every deposit as a "clean profit." MURDER LAID TO RELATIVES: Grand Jury Reports Upon the Assassination on Miss Gillespie. In its report of the investigation of the assassination of Miss Gillespie, on December 8, the grand jury at Rising Sun, Ind., Saturday afternoon returned true bills of murder in the first degree against James Gillespie, a twin brother of the murdered woman; Mrs. Belle Seward, her widowed sister, Mrs. Carrie Barbour, piece of Dr. Thad A. Beamy an eminent physician of Cincinnati, and Myron Barbour, her husband, Mrs. Barbour, sister in law of Dr. William Gillespie, brother of the murdered woman. Admiral Cochlan's flagship, the cruiser Olympia, arrived at Colon Monday afternoon on Cartagena, with A. M. Beaupra, United States minister to Colombia, and Mrs. Beaupra, on board. Minister and Mrs. Beaupra arrived at Cartagena from Bogota Saturday and boarded the Olympia on her arrival Sunday afternoon. The Olympia immediately sailed for Colon. Minister Beaupra will sail at once for New York on the steamer Yucatan. The reception of the Olympia at Cartagena was friendly. The naval authorities at Colon received instructions from Washington Christmas day not, to send the cruiser Atlanta, the converted cruiser Mayflower and the gunboat Casting to Cartagena, with the Olympia, as previously projected. The Olympics, therefore, salied for Cartagena along at daybreak Saturday and arrived off 'the Boca Chicha entrance to the big lagoon on which Cartagenn is situated early Sunday morning. As the Olympics neared the entrance she described the Colombian cruiser Cartagena four miles distant, making every effort to reach the entrance and to pass into the lagoon ahead of the Olympics, which she succeeds in doing. Passed Colombian War Ship The Olympia steamed slowly to the tortuous entrance between two old Spanish forts which apparently were deserted and found that the Colombian cruiser had taken up a position a short distance inside; but commending the entrance. It was learned subsequently that the Cartagena had grounded there and that later she was towed into port. The Olympia passed the Colombian warship and proceeded to Cartagena, which is a mile from the entrance. Anchoring about a mile from the town the Olympia hoisted the Colombian flag at her main and fired a salute of twenty-one guns. Shortly after the Colombian battery at the edge of the town returned the salute. Admiral Coghtern then sent a boat ashore to communicate with United States' Consul Orr, but it was learned that Mr. Orr had left Cartagena about a fortnight also for Baranquilla. The British vice consul at Cartagena, who is a very sick man and its hardly expected to live, had undertaken to look after United States' interests, pending the arrival of Mr. Orr's successor. Sensational Arrest of Physician's Wife by Detective in Macon, Ga. On the police dock, at Macon, Monday morning appeared the name of Mrs. R. N. Hicks, of Oakfield, Ga., wife of a prominent South Georgia physician, who was arrested by a detective, suspected of applying a match to room 46, of the Edgerton hotel, on Fourth street. Shortly after her detention, a telephone message was sent to her husband. The amount of bond, which was $200, was asked, and within an hour's time the president of a Macon bank called and signed the bond. Mrs. Hicks: left immediately after her release for her home near Cordelle. Sunday morning early the room, which was occupied by Mrs Hicks was found ablaze. Holes had been cut through the plastering and kerosene poured in. The bed clothing had been plucked upon that portion of the room where the kerosene had been usual. The entire contents of the room were destroyed. Mrs. Hicks, it is said, lost her purse and two ten'dollar bills. It is the general opinion that Mrs. Hicks is innocent of the attempted incendiarism and other arrests are expected. GAYNOR, PAYS BONDSMEN. Alleged "Fall" of Carter Makes Good the Sum of $40,000. Colonel John K. Gaynor, who nee- d to Quebec to escape trial in connec- tion with the Savannah harbor con- tract sonnel and let his bondmen in the lurch for $10,000, is reported to have made good the loss to William B. Kirk.

WRECK VICTIMS: ROBBED A Revolting Feature of the Baltimore and Ohio Railway, Disaster List Reaches. Sixty-Eight. Dead. The summing up of the results of Wednesday night's wreck of the Duquesne, limited on the Baltimore and Ohio, eight miles west of Connelsville shows aatrocal dead list or sixty-eight and nine, infured. Thursday Connettsville was packed with curious people attracted by the wreck. The three morgues-found it necessary to put guards on all doors to keep morbid spectators from the small rooms and walking over the forms of the dead. The streets were packed and in front of each of the undertaking establishments hundreds of people were grouped, eagerly waiting for a glimpse at the dead bodies. Friends and relatives of the victims came, on every train, and scenes at the morgues were most distressing'. All 'but a few of the' skirtly eight bodies have been identified and those who were still unknown were laid away in Hill Grove cemetery at the dawn of Christmas morning. Those who are still to be identified are mostly foreigners, and it is doubtful if their identity will ever be known. Considerable money was found on the persons of the unidentified, and tightly sewed in a belt on one foreigner was found more than $400, which was placed in the First National bank. Buns ranging from $100 to $300 were found and this, like the balance, has been put in the bank until perhaps some time a relative may be located. Many of the victims of the wreck were robbed. There are several who are known to have had a large amount of money and jewelry on their persons. Not a single cent was found in the pockets of several of these, and it was plainly visible that rings had been taken from the fingera. Robbers were on the scene early and before many of the rescuers arrived they had secured considerable booty, much of which consisted of baggage and hand bags that had been tossed about the cars in the wreck. A number of these have been recovered and it is the opinion of local officers that the bags were quickly picked up by the gang of thieves that operated there before assistance arrived. It has been learned that the car which dropped, the timbers which wrecked the train was gondola No. 3,037, of the Nickel Plate railroad. Superintendent J. F. Irwin, of the B. and O., declares the bame must be fastened on the parties who loaded the lumber on the car. His theory is that the stakes at the side of the gondola were weak and gave way under the tension of the car when rounding curves. NO RESPECT FOR THE DEAD. Chicago Grand Jury Seeks to Have Streke Dickie Indicted Skating criticism of persons who have disturbed funeral processions in Chicago were made by the grand jury, which reported to Judge Clifford Thursday. The grand jury also criticized "irresponsible organizations" for creating disorder and defying the law. The report says: "We find that for several months irresponsible organizations have been creating disorder in this county, destroying property and defying the law. We have found that ordinary subpenas duces tacum make 'forthwith' and issued by this court, have been evaded. "It is public report that at present in this, city houses of worship and houses of mourning are made the scenes of disorder by men calling themselves union pickets and that the bodies of the dead are desecrated. We believe that these conditions justify careful examination and we respectfully suggest that the conditions we have recited be made a special subject of inquiry by the January grand jury." Gang Missing with Large Sum. C. E. Lancer, an employer of Brooks' construction gang for the Bitmingham extension of the Seaboard, who had vouchers for upward of $1,400 to be used in settling with the men on his payroll, is missing after having recov- led the money from the bank at Ai- sten, 'Ga, early Thursday morning. Secretary Slated for a VJak to. Thorne aville. Ga. to Reeperparte. A Washington, special says. Some tarry, or State'Hay, will probably run down to Georgia for a rest immediately after the list of January. He has been confined, o'homey, a very situ- born cold for some days, and is now soldering the adylabisily, a short rest away from the scene, of his bors. If the leases, Washington has will go to Thomas, the scene, he will be the guest of Colonel Oliver, Parson at the beautiful Prairie home, or on outskirts of Georgia, to enjoy the resort. The two trains were running at full speed, and the skewers were removed to tangled heaps of wreckage. The first car were also demolished, and both trains left the track, except the last coach on each, so great, was the force of the collision. The eastbound train was due to leave Grand Rapids at 5:20 bound for Detroit and was a little late. The westbound train was due from Detroit at 5:15. It was also late. Sunday the death list resulting from the collision stood at twenty-two, with twenty-sine injured, several of them probably fatal. It was the most disastrous wreck in the history of the Pero Marquette system, and instead of being caused by man's carolessness or mistake, it charged to the high wind which irritated the red signal lamp in the order board at McCords station, where the westbound train was expected to stop and receive orders. Two minutes before the train rushed by McCords the light was burning, says the operator there, but in that brief interval the blizzard that was rattling, extinguished it and train No. 5, missed by the station to crash into the eastbound rain No. 6 at East Paris. The trains, which were two of the fins on the system, were reduced to a miscellaneous pile of broken and twisted limber and metal with dead and injured plinned down and crushed by the fragments of heavy cars. Five cars and two large locomotives were jammed into a space ordinarily occupied by three coaches and the wreckage was strewn across the railroad right of way from fence to fence. When *train No.* 5, westbound, whizzed by McCords instead of stopping, the frightened operator notifies the dispatcher and their round that his reight had been extinguished. He reported this fact and then there was but one action to take. The collision was inevitable. The dispatcher officer called for medical aid and gave order to hold the train over the dignitary branch at the depot and get the wrecking, outfit under strain. They then waited for the word they knew must come. There was no chance of the fast running traina to come, each other through the drying blizzard in open slow down and in a few minutes word came from the conductor of 5 that they had crashed together that there was an awful noise of It was at the rear end of the am and forward end of the cable, and all the passengers were killed in fured. According to statements, many officers of the Pere Marquette westbound train was traveling grade at the rate of 90 miles an hour. The eastbound train was hill at's speed of 40 miles an former carried several passengers while the latter in poor health been carrying at the rate. The two trains collided in the middle of a long, steep quarters of a mile west of the BRITAIN RECOGNIZES PARK. The foreign population of placely composed of native Britain, and the Britishera- natives in their habitations. Her announcement of the death of Miss Lizzie G. Fleming was received with deep regret and sincere sympathy by her many friends. She represented a type of womanhood not met with often. Everything that she undertook was attended to efficiently and if it was never necessary to remind her of any comissions in her varied duties. She took a delight to please others and undoubtedly in this she received much satisfaction. While all of us are tainted with some fault, yet whatever ones she was guilty of are easily forgiven and forgotten. No one can attest more readily to her faithfulness to duty than the management of THE TRIBUNE and those of the office force. Her services were indispensable. Often were the times she was left in complete control of the management of the office, and more than well she discharged her duties. Her life of faithfulness and service was indeed a beautiful one, and can be fruitfully imitated by others. Her manner was quiet and affable and she generally made and retained friends. No one regrets her death more than the management of THE TRIBUNE, and for the unselfish service she rendered, her memory will be ever kept green. "The African Slave." Methink, I heard the old Atlantic sighing, sighing, When at the bottom of a ship, poor slaves, were lying. Not as the Pilgrims came, to worship God without tear, These slaves huddled together, did weep a bitter tear; A beast enjoys feeding in its own native heather, Yes, rather than in a most lovely stall in tather. Men were there, not with hoary hair, in that enslaved band, But healthy young men, to leave foreer their native land. There was woman's tearful eye, she too was in her youth; A slave to live, to die: soon she was to know this truth You call it Christian ground, the shores where first they landed? Christianity and liberty together are banded; One, insep'rable, in a land of civilization. They seek each other, to establish justification. The landing of those slaves on old Virginia soil, Called forth the sympathy from heav'n. In chains did they toll; But every setting sun, with bruised back, looked they above. For they were learning each day, more of a Savior's love. Naught then could stop their prayer, in the field, log-cabin. That we may breathe freedom, not as slaves our lives begin. Have you our thought of the prayers of our fore-parent? Lose no good opportunities when they themselves present. From these slaves, have emanated men of starling worth, Who've by pen and sword been classed with the noblest on earth. Why should you, of your ancestry be ashamed, for no. Other people's suffered, forgiv'n and forgotten, so As our fore-fathers, and no children of others, have Made the progress, and from the enemy, the country save. As the sons of African slaves. Heaven is not gained By a single flight, but a steady onward march, pained By trials on all sides, the sure path to true glory. We feel, God is with us, He knows our life's sad story. Clouds over head, hang heavy, with soes on every hand, Believe, soon the Black man's service will in demand. Many pleasing with justice. No dark cloud will foreer' Made the sun's face. To our country true service render. We will some day, sing truly, "My country 'tis of thee, Great land of heart," and feel safe beneath Glory. These slaves beautified by muscles from heavny arm. And these slaves higher raised Old slavery from all harm. Be a Negroman, you know for him these were no Alps. The goal is near, into despair may we never lace. The hour before daylight is gone—so very dark. Others rover been rouged when fear not to embark. Love law and thy brother; of money more every time. Mother woman's virtue is the true bright; Must into the break youth, labor in no distress. But into the hearts of all, our neighbor's whole race— Mother, the people of Christian lands here and elsewhere. Mother, the labor, and in God true, we need not fear. Enduring suffering, pressing hot for a better day. When well enjoy the fruits of animals while when may. Who pay the debt of humanity, and that and the land. Who pay the debt of humanity, and that and the land. miser deserved. The southern forest re-scored the sounds of sweet song. Not Igaa glistened like Faith. Faith was more strong. Was there or another people so mock and doole? Who knows why he has endured such suffering? Though the mill. Of the God's grind slow but it does the work so well who Can the future tell? Then Negro firmly stand. Be true. I "Right is might." Since Truth can not be obliterated. Then she'll rise, with might, and demand justice unstinted. Liberty and law by blood, causes hatred bitter; But by peace sweet, makes each feel to each a kind brother. Peace to your dust fore-fathers. We tread the wildness so Foot-sore; but still hoping, the "promised land" to morrow. Where we will be treated as any American. And stand before the "Bar of Justice" as a real man. With rights of citizenship; not as a coward bound. Trembling with much fear of being shot as a beast down. Not by the North, or the South, but by our flag we've stood. Praying for her, and fighting for her as best we could. And we're still ready to sacrifice, our life, our all. When duty calls. We'll die, before Old Glory shall fall. Emancipation Day. Yesterday was Emancipation Day. It was celebrated as usual by the military and citizens. The battalion composing of companies A, C, D, and F. with the Georgia Artillery made a good appearance. On account of the indisposition of Col. Devesaux, he was not, in command. The Artillery fired the usual salute in the park, after which the battalion held its dress parade.

A large company of brethren and sisters surprise the pastor Christmas eve night, with a large supply of groceries and good and useful things for which the pastor is thankful. Come again brethren and sisters. The Day Desecrated. Editor TRIBUNE: Will you allow me space enough in your paper to voice the sentiment of thousands of the more thoughtful citizens of Savannah, of all races and creeds in a decided protest against the travesty upon real Christmas joy which is perpetrated by the custom of exploding bombs, cannon crackers and violent recklessness with fire-arms and fire-works. Omitting for the moment, the extra debauchery of the convival resorts of all kinds, so recklessly wanton upon this most sacred anniversary of the human race. Is there not some way by which the strong sentiment that prevails in Savannah to-day, can make itself felt, to at least control the dangerous element of this incongruous and inappropriate element of Christmas celebration? Omit from discussion, the fact of its utter senselessness as a form of celebrating the peace and joy of Christmas and consider the intense suffering of invalids, who can not escape its torture, the accidents to irresponsible and innocent persons, the brutal custom of lawless men and boys of paying off grudges under cover of this disgrace, in some cases going even beyond the extent of murder; these the unintentional, arays of the day more murderous because of the heavy presence of fire-arms, and therefore an unanswerable argument to be allowed these ex- SHOES!

Terms reasonable satisfaction guaranteed Faithful to the Last. Miss Lizzie G. Fleming died on Sunday.morning last at six o'clock at the home of her relatives at Bamberg, S. C. She has been in poor health for the past three years and on more than one occasion her friends were apprehensive of her recovery, but sheer will power and ambition saved her. She endeavored throughout her illness to be always cheerful and uncomplaining. She was faithful in all things and only extreme illness caused her to leave her post of duty. Four months ago she was compelled to give up and seek the more healthful air in the country at Denmark, S.C. She remained there until about four weeks ago when she went to Bamberg, where she died. Her remains were buried on Tuesday and were followed by sorrowing friends and relatives. Miss Fleming came to this city about thirteen years ago, and for about twelve years she was connected with THE TRIBUNE. During these years her service was indispensable. Her interest in the welfare of the business was unabating, and she was relied upon to be at her post under every circumstances, except during her extreme illness. She was efficient in her work and endeavored always to please. She was a member of the Second Baptist church and took an active part in Sunday School work. How consistent she was and how hard she worked for the cause can be attested by the members of the church. She was a member of Electra Chapter No. 1, O. E. S., and at the time of her death its Associate Matron; a member of H. H. of Ruth No. 438 and the Ladies Antono Society. She was also recording secretary of the Berean Baptist Sunday School Convention. In each of these institutions her interest never lagged. Miss Fleming was well-known and liked. When her death was announced many were the sincere expressions of sympathy. She leaves a father, several brothers and sisters, beside a host of friends to mourn her death. Christmas at the Beach. Beach Institute commorated Christmas by a very enjoyable program of thirty numbers, on Thursday morning Dec. 24. The chapel was tastefully decorated with evergreens, the principal one being the Holly, so specially a Christmas green all over the English speaking world. All grades participated, from the first primary to the third year normal, with recitations, songs and essays suitable for the occasion. The essay upon "The Mistletoe" by Miss May Belle Houston, and the one of "Christmas Greens" by Miss Emmy Moore were excellent production the result of much patient work of their literature class, under the training of their teacher, Miss Cora J. Seward. The sixth and seventh grades pupils of Miss F. L. Seward rendered "The Christmas Carol" and "The First Christmas Anthem" with excellent taste and effect. Miss丽 Steege's pupils of grades four and five with much pleasure to the audience and great credit to themselves and their teacher, who energetically and decisively directed all of the music for the occasion. Mrs. Harper's pupils of grades two and three prove conclusively to all listeners she understands just how to her her pupils to do their best in whatever they undertake. The relation "Santa's Wife" giving Mrs Santa due credit for helping him in his labor of love, was among the most unique numbers on the program. Miss Jennie Jones of grade tree recited it effectively Miss Jacob's pupils of age first rendered "The Earth Lanka's Little Child" with telling effect, and poems with excellent use and expression. The chorus, Christmas," by the whole normal tass of fifty-four voices, supporting an alto solo by Miss Gertrude Carr, was a credit to both the trainin and the pupils taking part. The heart reaching sweetness of its solo "Little Stranger" by Miss De Monroe of grade three could it be forgotten by those persons. Instead of exchanging gifts from a tree or some such device, the pupils from each roo brought their penny or nickel distribution in a sealed envelope from each room with a little sentiment written on it and gave it to Principi Hard, room by room in turn, as little Christmas offering to the charity Hospital" of Savannah. This little collection amounted to $59, and was a spontaneous free w offering of pupils of very limited seas and suggests a solidarity among the Negro race, to which the mountains objector to their solidarity can raise no valid objection.

All of her friends despaired of her illness, but under the skillfulness of Dr. J. Walter Williams who was assisted by Dr. W. C. Packman and Dr. E. S. Bolzer, her wound was attended and at this writing much hope is expressed for her recovery. This is a remarkable case especially when the location of the wound is considered and the length of time elapsed before medical attention was called. Her wound was similar to that of President McKinley, only his was in the stomach. The ability of our physicians is easily detected in this case. Locals.

M. W. J. Of all the diseases known with which the female organism is afflicted, kidney disease is the most fatal. In fact, unless prompt and correct treatment is applied, the weary patient seldom survives. Being fully aware of this, Mrs. Pinkham, early in her career, gave careful study to the subject, and in producing her great remedy for woman's illies—Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound—made sure that it contained the correct combination of herbs which was certain to control that dreaded disease, woman's kidney troubles. The Vegetable Compound acts in harmony with the laws that govern the entire female system, and while there are many so called remedies for kidney troubles, Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound is the only one especially prepared for women. Read What Mrs. Weisslitz Saves. "DEAR MRS. PINKHAM—For two years my life was simply a burden, I suffered so with female troubles, and pains across my back and loins. The doctor told me that I had kidney troubles and prescribed for me. For three months I took: his medicines, but grew steadily worse. My husband then advised me to try Lydin E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, and brought home a bottle. It is the greatest blessing ever brought to our home. Within three months I was a changed-woman. My pain had disappeared, my complexion became clear, my eyes bright, and my entire system in good shape."—MRS. PAULA WESSLIRZ, 176 Seneca St., Buffalo, N.Y. Proof that Kidney Trouble can be Cured by Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound. Dear Mrs. Pinkham: I feel very thankful to you for the good your medicine has done me. I had doctored for years and was steadily growing worse. I had trouble with my kidneys, and two doctors told me I had Bright's disease; also had falling of the womb, and could not walk a block at a time. My back and head ached all the time, and I was so nervous I could not sleep; had hysteria and fainting spells, was tired all the time, had such a pain in my left side that I could hardly stand at times without putting my foot on something. "I doctored with several good doctors, but they did not help me any. I took, in all twelve bottles of Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, five boxes of Liver Pills, and used three packages of Sanative Wash, and feel like a new woman, can eat and sleep well, do all my own work; can walk two miles without feeling over tired. The doctors tell me that my kidneys are all right now. I am so happy to be well, and I feel that I owe it all to your medicine."—Mrs. Opal Strong, Dalton, Mass.

"The bric-a-brac mantle, as is well known, sometimes leads enthusiastic collectors into amusing plaites." A French connoisseur lately entered a Paris "curlosity shop" and saw a beautiful Dresden vase. Asking the price, he was told $200, "and," said the dealer, "if I had the pair they would be worth $1,000." M.A. offered $100 and came several days running to renew his proposal, but in vain. One day a man came to M.A.'s apartments to show him some old china plates, and induced him to visit his shop in the Batignolles. To his surprise and delight M.A. saw in an obscure corner of the shop a vase exactly similar to the coveted Dresden, and easily secured it for $240, with the assurance that the pair, if forthcoming would be worth $2,000, M.A. rushed off to his first dealer and offered him his own price for the vase. "Ah, el," said he, "you came too late. I cold yesterday to a dealer at the Batignolles!" -Golden Penny. resident of the Ger- of Buffalo, N.

THE BOSTON TERRIER Breed of Canine That Is Unknown Outside of This Country There is an old saying: "A bird is known by its note." To this might be added, "and a dog is known by his bark," for a person acquainted with dogs cannot only distinguish breeds at a distance, but the huntsman proper can recognize individually a large percentage of his hounds while in cover simply from their voices. To discover, then, the origin of the Boston terrier, we will listen to his voice. Undoubtedly it is not of the bulldog, for the bulldog does not bark like a terrier, but gurgles as only the bull breed can. As surely, as the hound note of an Alredale terrier "gives away" his ancestry, so does the rolling, guttural cross between a grunt and a growl of the handsome little brindle dog from Boston point at once to his progenitor—the game, fighting or "business" dog of England, the hull and terrier. The evolution of the Boston terrier is one of those. interesting subjects that have grown out of the higher interest taken in dogs generally during the last two decades. It would be hard to realize here in America that the Boston terrier is practically unknown in the other parts of the world. Here no show is complete without its Boston terriers. The classes are often the backbone of the exhibition-indeed, there are few sections that create such an interest, and let it be added a deserved interest. It has been remarked that the Boston terrier is the outcome of the bulldog and terrier cross. Without being ready tongued or in any way facetious he might be described as the "cultured" gentleman dog, shaped and modeled into something highly educated, out of the very rough and ready material that went to make up the "business" or fighting dog of the London and Black Country pits. The dog that was the admired of the bucks of the time of George III, and the regency; the self-same dog that is held in high esteem among the dog fighters of to-day, has been called into use in a better way; he has become a gentle dog—in short, the dog of the boudour and not of the Bowery. -Illustrated Sporting News. WISE WORDS. As a rule the orator who uses the biggest words has the least to say. A cheerful, intelligent face is the end of culture and success venough.—Emerson. Everything in nature goes by law and not by luck. What we sow, we reap. Beware of the man who never did anything wrong. There's a first time for everything. It was a heart-to-heart talk of the most informal kind and—are they not the best prayers? To do good simply because it is good to do it and not in the hope of reward is the evidence of Christian purpose. Our character is but the stamp on our souls of the free choice of good and evil we have made through life.—Gelik Out of suffering have emerged the strongest souls; the most massive characters are seamed with scars.—Rev. E. H. Chapin. We gain life as we use what life we have, and we gain it as we are in sympathy, companionship or accord with those who truly live. No matter what it may be, whether imagination, inspiration or aspiration, if it leads up and not down, it cannot be too highly appreciated. Remind yourself that other human beings are born of the same material, and are subjects of the same desires, passions and feelings which possess you. Because charity begins at home is no reason that it should be restricted to that limited sphere; of all the circthes she is the one who needs to have the most constant exercise. In a valiant suffering for others, not in a slothful making others suffer for us, did nobleness ever lie. Every noble crown is, and on earth will ever be, a crown of thorns—Carlyle. Providence has nothing good, or high in store for one who does not resolutely aim at something high and good. A purpose is the eternal condition of success. Nothing will, take its place. Theodore T. Munger. See that no day passes in which you do not make yourself a somewhat better creature; and, in order to do that, find out first what you are now. Try to get strength of heart enough to look yourself fairly in the face in mind as in body. John Ruskin. The ax had its beginning in a pounding implement of rough stone. It gradually developed into a tool with an edge for hacking and a pole for pounding. Its efficiency was finally increased by the addition of a handle. It has remained a combined pounding and cutting implement up to the time of the manufacture of the double-bitted steel ax. Japanese Sending Money Home. During the year 1902 Japanese laborers employed in the Hawaiian Islands sent nearly $3,000,000 in money to their relatives and banks in Japan. A representative of the Japanese Emigration Society has left Mexico to find suitable places of emigrating Japs, as Hawaii is said to have already too many of them. The Japanese Mayor, Honda, a millionaire, together with several friends, have purchased extensive traps of land in the neighborhood, of Fusan, Korea, where they will establish nice plantations on a large scale. HOME AQUARIUMS More in Demand Than Ever—Stock and Plants in Great Variety. "We now sell more aquariums and aquarium stock and plants than ever," said a dealer in such things. "The increase is due in large measure no doubt to the establishment in this city of the great public aquarium in Battery Park. "People go there and study the fishes and get interested in them, and then they want an aquarium of their own. It is a fascinating pursuit, the care of an aquarium, and one in which not only children, but adults may easily become deeply interested. "Dealers carry far greater assortment of fishes and of aquatic plants than they formerly did, including things cheaper and costlier than ever. You can buy nowadays, for instance, goldfish for as little as five cents, or you can pay $25 for some of the very remarkable specimens that come from Japan, but you don't need to pay anything like so much as that to get specimens of very great beauty. "Besides the many varieties of goldfish, there are now sold for aquarium stock fishes of many other species, including simple little fishes and fishes that are curious and fishes that are beautiful. A balanced aquarium in which there are fishes that we become individually interested in is something very different from a globe of goldfish. "Fishes of the more curious and beautiful varieties for small aquarium stock are imported from Japan, China, India and Germany. We export to European countries, to be sold as small aquarium stock there small alligator, various sorts of titles and various species of small native fishes."—New York Sun. BUNCOED.
