''It is q Wonderful Remedy"


For many years my blood was
In a bad condition, manif4sting
its character by a scrofulous
breaking out on both my ankles,
which caused me considerable suf-
fering as well as great annoyance.
Seeing the name of Rev. Jesse
III. Campbell, Of Columbus, Ga,
attached to a certificate concern
ing a cure by Swift's Specific, 1
wrote to him about this remedy.
His reply was that "it is won
derful remedy" l tried it and
found the action very much as de-
scribed in the directions. / used
about one dozen bottles, observ-
ing steady and almost daily i'm
provement from the start. / was
entirely cured of this disagreea-
BILE and distressing disease. That
has been nearly year ago, and I
find no signs fthe disease return
ing, and am ready to testify with
Rev. Mr.. Campbell that Swlft's

AN AMUSING INCIDENT.
DR.. Mary Walker Thinks That Miss
Cleveland is Zone of U.s."

DP. Mary walker Thinks That MISS
Cleveland is Zone of U.s."
An amusing incident occurred
at the White House reception ON
Saturday during the progress Of
the reception, in which the Presi-
dent was an innocent principal.
he had gone but for drive, and
upon returning to the White
House he found admission cut Off
by the dense crowd which filed
the porch and all its approaches.
To add to his perplexity some of
the ladies in the portico recog-
nized him and insisted upon shak-
ing hands with him. This was
the signal for host Of congratu-
latory callers who had not count
ed upon seeing the President too,
and he was literally surrounded
by an enthusiastic audience of la
dies who were deaf to his appeals
to be let into the White House.
Ingress or egress was impossible,
and fully fifteen minutes the Pres
ident was forced to remain in his
trying position. M
DIR. Mary Walker created the
sensation of the afternoon. She
called early, and was dressed in q
new suit-Prince Albert coat but.
toned up high, dark trousers and
stout heavy boots of calfskin. A
high standing collar and black tie
gave very masculine expression
to her thin face.
DIR. Mary entered the reception
room carrying a new silk tile in
one hand and small umbrella
with silver handle in the other.
She walked towards Miss Cleve-
land with a long, sweeping stride.
Marshal McMichael, who was
prepared for almost anything.
turned pale as DR.. Mary approach
ed.
"Heavensl" he calculated, "what
am to do?"
He didn't have long 10 consider.
"Please present me to Miss
Cleveland" said the Doctor sharp
ly, taking him by the arm.
Miss Cleveland knew nothing
about the Doctors strange pecul-
iarlty of dress, and when Mr.. Nc
Michael presented 'Dr. Walker"
she said pleasantly:
81 am glad to meet you, sir.''
81 would have you know that I
am not sir" said she, drawing
herself up to her full height. "I
am woman, but / have advanced
ideas about dress"
$50 I perceive" said Miss
Cleveland, trying hard not to
smile.
81 understand that you are one
Of us, and belong to the advanced
thinkers in our SEX"
Miss Cleveland made no direct
reply, but simply said that she
thought the cause Of womanhood
was not suffering.
'You ought to be on our side,"
continued DR.. Mary, to the great
annoyance of the people waiting
for her to pass on, "for I elected
your brother; but for me he would
not be in the White House to-day.
"Indeedw
eyes; l know that / influence
more than enough votes to have
turned the scale against him in
| New York State"
At this point the pressure in the
rear became SO strong that she
was forced into the next room, not
without assuring Miss Cleveland,
however, that she would call again
and often.
Despite DIR. Mary's intrusion
the reception to-day was success.
The White House was crowded
during the reception hours with
beautiful and handsomely dressed
ladies.

GRAND RAPIDS. Mich, Aug. 26.-DKAR SIN
In your article on tho question of the ad-
visibility Of women as trustees upon our
School Board. you raise the doubtful point,
il the law be not lame there. | am OF the
opinion that our State Legislature intended
To follow the example of other States who
have legalized the ballot for woman and her
right TO act on the School Board, as III Yer
mont and Massachusetts,. From the fact
that il has been found that women make the
best teachers and are so rapidly forging TO
the front. il seems eminently fitting that she
should have a voice upon the Board of Trus-
tees. and l hope that the ladies of Grand
Rapids will see ii their duty not only to er-
srcise their rights at the polls, but TO put in
some instances lady candidate in the field.
They will thus signify their wishes and serve
a notice upon our Representatives that the
law must be complete law if not one now.
