Speaking of contributions for the rent
devoured people of Ireland, the Chicago
EUenang Ne,os says:
To obtain all the money he can for the
starving people. but not to do any harm to
the land system. is the best forcible advice
English newspapers in London aud New
York can give Mr.. Parnell-that is. the
best advice for the landlords. Every
dollar contributed for the relief of the
starving in Ireland is dollar of tribute to
the most Infamous land system that dis
graces civilization. Every dollar handed
to Parnell to help break down that system
is dollar paid to make a man of the
Irish tenant farmer. 1t is merely ques-
ton OF cause and effect. While the
present land system continues, periodical
famine and constant poverty are newt
able. Overthrow it, give the tenant tar
mer chance, and he is certain OF food for
his family and himself out of his soil.
Those, therefore, who say ''use ny dollar
to feed the starving, but can give moth
ing to the land reform agitation, may as
we'll add, I am in sympathy with the
landlords; use my dollar for them. The
people must be fed, of course; it Parnell
gets the proper support he will put them
10 position to feed themselves.

A WONDERFUL MEDICINE
of a Prominent Citizen
of Adrian, Mich. who had not
Walked without Clutches for
two years. He threw them away
i'm "a Hours after the first ap-
Eiication of Wizard Oil.


DR. HAMLrN:-When I met your agent
here, in September, had been two years suf-
fering severelywith rheumatism, half of that
time confined to the house, and three months
at time to my bed. The balance of the
time l was compelled to crawl around upon
crutches. l used medicines without number,
including a large quantity of morphine, all of
which proved worse than useless. AS to what
suffered, the English language cannot tell
it to any one who has not tried it's realities
The first application of Wizard Oil gave
me relief in fifteen minutes, and dispelled my
doubts in twenty-four hours. used a bottle
day for ten days. The next morning after
the use of the first bottle,
left my Clutches at home and
walked down town without them
for the first time in two years.
Since thenT have not used them, and can now
split cord of wood as quick as any in
Adrian. Some of my friends at first thought
such sudden cure would Kill me, but wanted
change, though it should be death
That all who read this may know how
have been, l will say, when / commenced
using Wizard Oil, 1 could reach around my
leg above the knee with one hand.
was reduced to a mere slele-
ton, and most of the time
when I moved upon
crutches, or tried to stand
without them, L could not raise
either foot from the floor.
used fifteen bottles in all, but have not used
any for two months. l now feel as well as
ever did in my life, and have gained thirty-five
pounds in flesh. But l must tell YOU it seems
almost like dream. You can refer to me as
often as you wish. and hundreds of the citi-
zens of Adrian Will testify to the truth of
my statements

EXPERT TESTIMONY.
How They Tripped Up Ed. RaucI

How They Tripped Up Ed. Rauch.
The Philadelphia Times of to-day mar
rates tho following: ''The session Of the
Whitaker will case yesterday was occu-
pied by the taking of mass OF expert tes-
timony relating to handwriting and the
chemical tests applied to ink. Edwin
II. Rauch, of Mauch Chunk, was called as
an expert in writing. He is feeble man,
his lower limbs being paralyzed to such an
extent that he had to be carried to the wit
ness stand by the court officers. He has
made the subject of handwriting a study
for great many years and has been called
as an expert in almost every case OF any
Importance involving this question. lie
had examined the signature of Robert
Whitaker attached to the alleged will and
said that, in his opinion, it was too cramp-
ed a signature to be perfectly consistent
with the style Of handwriting of which it
purported to be . sample. 1t had the ap-
pearance Of having been made very slowly
and with great care and deliberation.
Rowlett's signature, he also thought, was
simulated and in addition it bore marks of
having been gone over or "pointed." In
Pulte's signature the flourish at the COM
mencemcnt of the I'll, !" which has excited
so much remark throughout this entire
case, he thought was done very freely and
naturally. Upon cross-examlnatiOn he
mitted that it was possible for a first-class
expert to deceive anyone, and in proof of
this he said he had frequently been de-
csived himself. Specimens of writing
were submitted to the witness and he was
asked to say what sort of writing they
were. He said that in his opinion it was
wrist and shoulder work. Mr.. Sheppard
then said that the writing in which he had
said the wrist movement predominated
was the work of woman who had lived
thirty-three years without any arm and
had written holding tho pen between her
toes, and that those in which Mr.. Rauch
had picked out the elements of shoulder
movement were written by a man who
clasped the pen between his two elbows,
he having lost both forearms This, how
ever, did not shake the confidence of the
witness in his own opinion. He said that
the writing had the appearance of wrist
writing and shoulder-writing that was all
he said in the first place and he still main
tanned it.

A Party OF Five WOOdsmen Killed or
Drowned In Seven Months.
Last September Francis II. Kelley,
James and Henry Briggs (brothers), Viii
liam Barkley. and Thos. Gum, five young
wOodsmen, came from New Brunswick to
work in lumber woods along the Susque-
hanna. James Briggs was killed by fall
ing tree a few days after going to work. His
brother went to Michigan to work in the
chopper one day the axe slipped from the
stomach, killing him instantly. In Janu-
the Susquehanna during a drive, and was

rolled over him, and crushed him to deatl,
Francis Kelly, the last one of the five COM
rades, then went to work for Cochran
Brothers, in Medicl1' S run, Cameron coun-
ty. One day last week he, with others,
was driving logs down tho stream, and a
heavy jam occurred. Kelly went out on
the jam to loosen the logs. A large hem
lock tree stood on tho bank. The high
water had washed away the earth from
around it's roots. Ono ofthe men saw that it
was tottcrinG and likely to fall across the
creek directly where Kelly was standing.
The men shouted to Kelly. Before he could
get out OF the way the tree fell and crushed
the young man to death. He had written
to his mother in New Brunswick some
time before, telling her of the singular IA
tality that had befallen the men who came
to the states with him. A few hours after
his death letter addressed to him arrived
at Driftwood postofice. 1t was from his
mother. She appealed to him not to en-
gage in driving logs.
