PROMPT enforcement.

When the physical energies are overtasked
or flag through weakness or disease, they
need prompt reinforcement. Renewed vigor
is most speedily supplied through the me-
dunn of tonic stimulant, and among med
icinal resources of that class, Hostetter's
Stomach Blttels assuredly deserve a pre-
eminent place. Weakness, whether consti-
tutional or arising from disease or over
fatigue, cannot be better compensated for
than by resort TO this prime strengthening
cordial The enfeebled invalid, the conva-
lescent and the aged and infirm find that it
is an uIfailing source of vigor and comfort.
Its combined tonic and Alternative properties
also constitute it an invaluable remedy for
indigestion, weakness of the organs of uri-
nation, constipation, torpidity of the liver,
and many other irregularities and disabili-
ties, and render it an invaluable protection
against malaria, as well as disorders of the
stomach and bowels

sonal knowledge that so early as 1874 ne
lent himself heart and mind to this heneVo
lent work and followed it up with unf1agglng
energy until he saw the institution firmly
and securely established. Then, at the ear
nest solicitation OF its early friends, and the
almost total sacrifice of a large and lucra-
tive practice, he consented to become its first
Superintendent. He held this position. if
my memory is not at fault, for about four
wears. How we'll and faithfully he per-
formed his duties may be easily learned by
inauiring of those whose sad duty it was TO
comm unit their friends to the Asylum while
it was under his charge.

In that report DIR. Com ptOn pays glowing
and well merited compliment To DR.. Lang

COIOred Masonry.

The grand convention ofcolored Masons
and public installations of officers, that
was to have taken place at Lawrence,
Kansas, on the Sth with music, march
ing, speeches, and feasting, was failure,
owing to trouble in camp. Two colored
Masonic bodies claim jurisdiction in that
State, and when one takes the field for
big time, the other is generally on hand
to block the game. Bill Matthews, a
noted Leavenworth politician, leads one,
and D. G. Lett and II. G. Bruce, the
latter brother of the Mississippi sable
senator, led the other The two factions
do not affiliate. The Matthews party
call the others ''clandestine Masons,
who in turn dub their opponents ''dough-
faces" To-day was to have been the
iollifcation of the Matthews, grand lodge,
but Lett and Bruce had arranged mat
ters, and, holding meeting last night,
organized another grand lodge, with a
full set of officers. Lett was elected
grand master, and Bruce grand senior
warden Lett being in possession of the
| field, Matthews issued a decree to his fol
lowers that the installation and the pomI
and splendor attending would be post
poned. Lett and Bruce, being thus lef
to run their grand lodge undisturbed, are
having a blowout this evening, 1t Ii

love is not very strong between the riva

Burned to Death by "a Meteor.

An intelligent black boy was trudging
along highway at night in the vicinity
of Palestine, Texas. There was negro
woman riding horse in the same direc-
ton the boy was going. The intelligent
black boy reappeared in Palestine that
night out of breath and pale as he could
get. He said he saw ball of fire come
out of the sky and strike the woman and
set her ablaze. The horse ran away with
the woman afire on his back, and he ran
back to town to tell the people what had
happened. The people went to look after
further particulars of the curious Incl
dent They found the woman lying on
the ground with all her clothing burned
off, but with life enough in her to tell
that she had been struck in the breast
by ball of fire. The horse was found
with his name singed, and the woman
died the next day. The people think
she was hit by a meteor.
