Marvellous Cure of Stone in the Bladder
 Large 9tOneg Removed by "ken-
 nedy's Fav rite Remedy"
 From the Pittsfeld (Mass.) Ea0ke.
 Stone in the Bladderis a very dangerous ail- Inent; but many most remarkable cures have of late been wrought by "Kennedy's Favorite Reme- dy"-the invention oI Dr. Kennedy of Ron- dout, N. Y. Another striking case is now added to the list. Mir. Peter Lawler, of Dalton, Mass, Rtates in letter to Dr. Kennedy that he had been troubled with bladder complaint for IA years and had consulted at different times seven physi- clans; but nothing beyond temporary alignment of the pain had been worked. Towards the end of last January Mir. Lawler called on Dr. Ken nedy. Sounding him, the doctor "struck stone" He decided that MT. Lawler should first try the "Favorits Remedy" so as, if. possible to avoid an operation. And here is the remarkable result: "Dear Doctor Kennedy-The day after came home I passed two gravel stones, and am doing nicely now. If you would like to see the stones will send them to you." This letter bears date sDalton, Mass, Feb. 6th,n and Is signed Peter Lawler." The stones, which 80 large as to war. rant for "Kennsdy's Favorite Remedy " the claim that it Is the most successful specific for Stone yeb discovered, are now in Dr. Kennedy's possession. Incidentally Mr. Lawler also states that the " Fav. orite Remedy" at the same time cured him of a stubborn case of Rheumatism; and it Is fact that n all affections arising out of disorder of the liver or urinary organs 1t is searching remedy and works marvellous benefits.

The Asteroids.

Providence Journal.
A great astronomical feat has been
accomplished. The 235 asteroids that
now revolve in what was formerly
called the great gap between Mars and
Jupiter, have all received names,
though some of them have been wait
ing for years as nothing but numbers.
These struggling members of the sys-
tenn have been discovered during the
present century, Ceres, the first in Or
der of time, having been found in 1901.
They are puzzle to astronomers, witch
theiE eccentric orbits, small dimensions
and peculiar origin. There is no pres
ent means for knowing whether their
limit as to numbers has been reached,
CT if larger telescopes may add thou
sands to the family. They are trouble
some, too, for they are always getting
lost or being discovered over again, so
that an irreverent German astronomer
suggests that the smallest of the crowd
should be allowed to travel at their own
sweet will and pursue their own paths
undisturbed by telescope or computer.
The asteroids are, however, fascinating
studies for some of our most distin-
guished astronomers, who have sue
ceeded in picking out so many that a
new asteroid is no longer a novelty.

Conductor Greer's Story.

Cambridge (OhtO) JenerBOntan.
A few days ago Jeffersonian re-
porter came upon pleasant gentle
man from Wilmington, Ohio, who said
that his name was Greer, and related
the following: That he was conductor
of a passenger train which was wrecked
in collision at what he called Hanna's
Crossing, place near SCOTS mines,
Just east of town. The collision oc-
Cured by another train running off its
time at forty-fve miles an hour. His
train was going at the rate of but twelve
miles an hour, or the loss of life would
have been greater. AS it was, several
people were killed. In one of the
coaches was a cousin of Mr.. Greer. He
was found dead in one of the cars. No
bruise or mark of violence could be
found upon his body. He died from
fright. His hair and chin whiskers
were black, but when the body was dis
covered both hair and whiskers were
thoroughly white. Tho body was put
into vault at Zanesville, and at the
final interment, in month or two, hair
and whiskers had changed back to their
original blackness. The story was a
curious one, worth noting.

THE CROP OUTLOOK.
What is Shown bv Returns to the Depart
ment of Agriculture.

The returns to the department of
agriculture for May make the prospect
nearly as favorable as in April. Then the
general average was within per cent of
the standard of full condition. The May
average is 81. 1t was $50 in 1883. Barring
changes in the future, the winter wheat
product is about $50, O00, 900 bushels. The
temperature of April has been lower than
usual, and low lying lands have been sat-
urated with moisture, retarding the growth.
Well drained wheat soils nearly every
where are bearing vigorous and healthy
growth. Few reports OF injury by the fly
have been received, but the aggregate loss
from the insect will be trivial. Winter
wheat in New England is a scarcely appre-
ciable quantity. Its condition is quite uni
formly high. The middle and southern
states will make an average ranging from
80 to 100. The Ohio basin makes a less
favorable showing with little differences in
the states on the north side of the river. The
states at large production will make the
average condition, but full stand of
healthy plants of medium growth: New
York, 81; Pennsylvania, SO; Kentucky, So;
Ohio, S5; Michigan, So: Indiana. IS; Illi-
nois, IS; Missouri. 81; Kansas, los; Cali
fornia, 90. Seeding of spring wheat is
delayed by heavy rains and the low tenn
perature. In Dakota it is not yet compile
ted. Returns are made on the LIST of July.
Rye promises fully as well as wheat and
the general average will be So. 1t is several
points higher than wheat in the principal
states OF the west. The general average
for barley is 1O1. 1t is 100 in New York,
100 in Pennsylvania, SO in Michigan and 100
in California. Meadows and pastures are
generally promising, though failing to come
up to the standard of healthy growth and
unimpaired condition. Spring blowing is
little delayed by the low temperature and
excessive moisture in undrained soils. In
the entire country it is two-thirds COM
plete. In an average year Ito TOPPER cent.
should be done on the LIST of May.

AN OCEAN DISASTER.
Oho hundred and Thirty-fivs Souls Lost---
What the Captain Says.

A dispatch from Farther Point, Nav
tn, says: The steamship "Titania, ,, from
Slasgow, passed inward this morning. She
nad on board twenty-four of the crew Of
the steamship estate of Florida that
yessei having been sunk by collision with o
PARK In midocean. Out Of 1877 persons on
ene state Of Florida only fortv-fOur
were saved, and of the bark's crew only the
Saptalh ana two men were rescued. One
nunored and twenty-three souls went down
WIN the steamer and twelve with the bark,
making total loss of 1856.
=, Inc passengers and crew rescued from
tne state OF Florida" state that the steam
snip ap CITY Of Rome" passed them while on
their signals, but did not stop.
Inc captain Of the ''Nevada' gives the
Following: On Monday noon, in latitude
42,5O, longitude 47,25, while on the way
from New York to Liverpool, being four
Gays out, we collided with the Romano, -
belonging to the Wilson line. We struck
the ship on the port side, about amidship,
bursting into her engine room. The Gro
mano" sunk in less than an hour. Her
passengers came on board In her own boats.
There was heavy swell at the time. Our
bows were beaten in from the forefoot to
the deck. When the cargo had been shift
ed and temporary repairs effected, we bore
up for st. Johns. On Sunday we fell in
with the "Saint Laureat' and trans ship
ped the passengers of the "Romano' and
her crew and our own passengers to that
ship.
Bennett, one of the survivors of the
State Of Florida, stated that just before one
OF the boats was lowered some one cut the
falls too soon and the boat emptied all the
passengers into the sea. He, with five
others, climbed on the keel and sat there
all night. Underneath the boat were a
number Of former companions, all of whom
We're found dead the next morning. A
small number of passengers were saved.
He attributed the rapidity with which
the State of Florida went down to
the fact that the captain, who appar-
emily did not realize the position of af-
fairs, made no endeavor to get the passen-
gers into the boats. Though the surviving
officers are very reticent as to the response
bility for the accident. the impression seems
to be that the steamship is to blame. The
men on the keel of the boat were picked off
the next morning by their former compan-
ions in other boats. They saw the bark
upside down which collided with them.
The boats with the survivors kept together
and on Saturday morning sighted a sail,
but could not hail the vessel. They were
picked up the next day by the 'Theresa,
bound for Quebec.

CLOSED ITS DOORS.
The Marine National Bank of New York
Puts Up Its Shutters.

The Marine National bank of New
York closed its doors on the 9Th. A year
ago the bank purchased Booths theater.
It is thought the failure is a bad one. The
capital of the Marine bank was "a. 0, 600.
Its statement on April 22d last showed a
surplus of $130, 900 and undivided profits of
S.. 345. John f. Fisk is the cashier. A
visit to the bank discovered some fifty dis
consulate depositors standing in the
pouring rain around the. closed
doors. No admittance was given re-
norters. No notice was posted on the door.
The bank opened at the usual time in the
morning, but before noon it closed abrubt-
iy. The immediate cause of the failure
was the banks failure to meet its debts,
about $500, 200, at the clearing house in the
morning. The cause lying behind this is
presumed to be the real estate operations
Of President James d. Fish during the
last wear or two. Within that time he
bought Booths theater and the Casino,
and has also recently been builning large
apartment building, the "Mystic,' on
Thirty.ninth street. The reconstruction
Of Booths theater and the building Of the
ttMystic' has taken great deal OF money,
which he borrowed from the bank.

for members of congress and foreign
diplomats. First come the election
expenses. Any congressman who
comes out less than $1,000 out OF
pocket is considered lucky. Then
comes the journey Of the family to
Washington-for congress has not yet
allowed mileage to members families,
although after the late private secre-
tary indulgence nothing in the way OF
perquisites need surprise anybody.
Next is the intermediary st ige OF hotel
living until house or lodgings are
found. Thus, before his lodgings are
secured and he begins to have an idea
of his monthly expenses, large chunk
of the congressman's $1,000 year is
gone.
1t does not take him long to find out
that he can't do with his income as well
as other people do. If he is in lodg-
ings his wife must have reception
day, and no matter how simple the
scale on which it is conducted, a waiter
must be hired to hand in the cards, and
there is usually some slight refresh

and visiting means carriage. Then
there are occasional dinners, receptions
at the white house and elsewhere, which
is customary for representatives wives
to attend, and that means costumes,
gloves, and carriages. There seems to
be a kind of clairvoyance among every
body in Washington who has anything
to sell or to hire TO member of con-
gress or his family. The wives of
members generally become we'll known
to the trades-people before long, and
the butcher, the baker, the candlestick-
maker, the dressmaker, the bonnet
maker, and the maker of everything
they eat and wear combine against the
representative $4,000.
In the case of senators every circum-
stance is aggravated. There being but
seventy-eight senators, and not all of
them paired, the senator's wives are
known as well as the Washington mon
umeut, and as most of them take infin-
tie delight in having parcels addressed
to ssMrs. Senator Blank" the innocent
creatures gives themselves away to the
shop-people. The women of sense who
are senator's wives, and who feel the
necessity of making their money go as
far as it ought, studiously conceal the
fact that they are senator's wives, when
they are ''dealing," as the negroes call
shopping.
