The following tribute from the Utica
IN. W Observer, will show the extent
of Senator Il. II. IlilPS fame and the
estimate placed upon him by the
American people. The Observer rises
above party and sectional feeling and
says:
lneXpressibly, sad and touching have
been the last days OF the Georgia tri-
bune, who, abandoning finally the
hope Of recovery at Washington, went
home TO his people to die. The
warmth and fervor of the greeting
Georgia gave him have found Il reticc-
ton in the press of the whole land. and
northern people have learned from it
to think tendcrly and solicitously of
the man who was so beloved at home
Here in the north we will all speak as
respectfully and regrcttulIy OF his de-
parture rs will those OF his own state
and section. North and south, itcpub-
licans and Democrats, will alike say
over his grave that ticn Hin was an
honest and manly nlatl, an earnest and
faithful servant of the people and a
true American.

Piles.

Piles are frequently preceded by
a sense of weight in the back, loins
and lower part of the abdomen,
causing the patient to suppose he
has some affection of the kidneys
or neighbering organs. AT times
symptoms of indigestion are pres
ent as f1atuIency, uneasiness of the
stomach, etc. A moisture like
perspiration, producing a very
disagreeable itching, particularly
at night after getting warm in bed,
is very common attendant. In
ternal, External and Itching Piles
yield at once on the application of
DIR. Bosanko's Pile Remedy, which
acts directly upon the parts effect
ed, absorbing the tumors, allaying
the intense itching, and effecting a
permanent cure where all other
remedies have failed. Do not delay
until the drain on the system pro-
duces permanent disability, but
try it and be cured. Price, so cts.
Ask your druggist for it, and when
you cannot obtain it of him, we
will send it, prepaid, on receipt of
price. Address The DIR. Bosanko

A Brave Act.

An Indian, who lives some miles
below Memphis, is mentioned by
many people of the neighborhood as
the hero of the food. One of his
good acts was the rescue of widow
and her two children, near Com
merce, Miss. The widows house was
a short way from a levee, which
broke and let in arOaring flood. Inc
occupants of the house succeeded IN
climbing to the roof, but they were
not safe there, as the spectators on
a wharf-boat not far off knew, for
the current was strong enough to
sweep the dwelling away. Several
persons volunteered to go to what
seemed certain death, in an effort TO
rescue the family. One young man
put out in a skiff, but the skill was
capsiZed and the bold adventurer
was drowned. Shortly afterwards
the Indian came down the river IN
his boat. He saw the situation ,and
directing his boat into the flood and
raising one oar to steer he managed
to throw the boat against the house.
The woman and children got In. AS
he pushed off the boat was whirled
round and round in an eddy, but
drifted into calm water and finally
reached place of safety.

Cabbage will thrive on any good
corn land, though the stronger the
soil the better they will develop.
New land is preferable. Plow deep
and manure very literally. The
early sorts bear planting from eigh'
teen inches to two feet apart in the
rows, with the rows from two to
two and a half feet apart; the large
varieties TO be from two to four feet
apart, the distance varying with the
size. The crop should receive as
many as three boeings and three cul-

there are a great many lean and lank
ones, who sigh for the fashionable
measure of plumpness, and who
would be vastly improved in health

Nothing is more coveted by thin
woman than full figure, and moth

the scandal of the clipper build" as
the consciousness of plumpness in a

complaints milk is nov given with
excellent results. The idea that

sized, well-tilled milk pitchers on

The First Game Yesterday Betweea the

Of Ball-A Better One for To-Day.

The First Game Yesterday Betweeu the
standards and Detroits-A POor Game
OF Ball-A Better one for To-Day.
The game of ball between the Detroits
and Standards on the Fair Grounds yester-
day afternoon was q very mediocre affair
The crowd was fair-sized, and what it lack
ed in size it made up in enthusiasm OF q
questionable quality. Wheeling crowds
seem TO think that 1t is one of their tradi-
tional prerogatives to cheer their favorites
to the echo when they do well
and to testify their appreciation OF
the success of visitors by groans
wells and other offensive demonstrations.
The umpire, as a general thing in their
the sake of form than for his utility or
knowledge Of the rules of the game, or his
ability to carry them into effect. Some OF
the decisions of the umpire, yesterday,
were manifestly distastefnl to the Grand
Stand occupants, and their marks OF appro.
baton would have done credit TO band OF
Comanche Indians. Such conduct is not
only a source of rsproach to the city, the
people, but to the home club, under whose
auspices the visitors are here, and 1t should
be dispensed with hereafter. The yells at
the umpire whenever any decision was
made that did not catch the crowd were
fearful. and no doubt had tendency to cause
some of the errors made by him.
The playing Of both clubs was very in
different in the main, although on one or
two occasions some fine catching was done.
Kicks, right fielder for the home club,
caught one or two high flies in good
styie, while Lukens' specialties in the
right field elected their need of applause.
Barley caught very well, but made sever
al fearful and inexcusable blunders that
no doubt contributed more than anything
else TO the loss OF the game to the home
club. The absence of Laird was d severe
loss TO the Standards; for had he been pres,
emf there is no doubt that the score would
have been different. Following is the score
in full:
