As tine season advances, the pains and
aches by which rheumatism makes itself
known, are experienced after every eXo
posure. II is not claimed that Hood $
Sarsaparilia is specific for rheumatism
we doubt if there is, OF can be, such IA
remedy. But the thousands benefited by
Hoods Sarsaparilla, warrant rs in urging
others who suffer from rheumatism to
take it before the first keen twiuge.

THE CRAZE FOR OFFICE.

An Ohio Man who Wanted the French
Mission Finally Accepts a $1,000
Place.
WASHINGTON, May 25.-At the State
Department they say there are actually
215 applicants for the Consul Generalship
to Paris. Every ybody who has been left
on anything files his application for the
next best place. About 210 of these appli-
cations are by men who have been refused
other places in the gift of the Secretary of
State.
There is one Ohio man who has just
been appointed to a $1,000 office up in
Canada, He had a slim backing when ne
put in his papers for the French Mission.
When Minister McLane was appointed
he cheerfully asked for the mission to
Denmark. That passing out of his hands
he tried to get himself made Consul Gen
eral to Rio Janeiro. Told that his wish
was preposterous, he offered to be content
with the Liverpool Consulship. 1t was
no use, and when at last, to get rid of
him. he was offered the paltry Canada
place, be snapped it up with the aVidity
OF hungry shark for an old boot The
Insignificant salary seemed to make him
no less happy. He Was going out of the
country in a representative capacity, and
he strutted about town an inch taller for
two days. It's "A queer craze and sad

AT THE STATE CAPITAL.
The Y. NJ. G. A. Building Booming
Cutting Rates to New York.

ATLANTA, May 25.--Two ladies' meet
ings were held this afternoon to organize
a Woman's Auxiliary Society to aid in
raising fund for building Young
Mems Christian Association hall in At
lanta. Committees from every Protestant
church in the city were appointed to
solicit subscriptions. The ladies present
subscribed over $4,000, and said that they
would raise $4,000. A mothers fund has
been started, and subscriptions are flow
ing in. The total subscriptions are now
over $4,000. 1t is rumored that Senator
Brown will increase this by princely
subscription.
The monthly report of the architect in
charge of the work on the capitol shows
that the total amount of work so far done
has cost $4,000. Coy. Mcdaniel and
other members of the Commission are
highly satisfied with the work.
Railroads have begun to cut rates to
New York and offer round trip tickets to-
day at $50. This has resulted from the
rate war inaugurated by b. W. Wrenn, of
the East Tennessee Railroad, some weeks
ago. There is considerable feeling be-
tween the officials of the various lines
centering here, especially those of the
East Tennessee and Western and Atlantic
Roads

sizo aud with "a Characteristic History
Passes Away.
WINCHESTER, KY, May 25.-News has
just reached here OF the death Of simpson

! which occurred near Irvine, Estill county
on May II. Mr. Trussle measured 6 feet
II inches in height with his boots

the county as the largest, or rather
the tallest, man in all these parts.
He weighed nearly 300 pounds, and
vet carried not a surplus pound. He Was
about 90 years old at the time ofhis death,
and though hercuean ia bis strength,
was gentle as a lamb, unless mOlested,

julius Caesar. He was quite pronigate,
and for the last TWO years was a confirmed
invalid from paralysis, was unable 10
stand or sit up, and until some two
months ago WAS pauper IN the county

cause the authorities Of this county would
not allow them TO live with him at the
poor house, he became offended, and had
himself moved 10 the county OF Estill.
where he resided with two or more
wives and dozen or more children. He
will be remembered by many OF his old
comrades who were prisoners with him at
Camp Douglas. H., and VINO with a num-
Der OF them escaped on the memorabls
cold New Years night Of 1864, when IL
was so cold that the pickets iroze of their
guard.
Trussle was said TO have made a fine
soldier, and when Gen. Morgan needed a
daring dead done, or hazardous line TO

fathers were Italian, and settled in Vir-

senger. He said MIR. Dodson read the
name OF It. j. Cluverius on the note when
the pieces were put together.
Joseph Dodson was recalled. He said
that the note was handed to him by the
colored messenger boy when he brought
il back 20 the hotel. He saw 1t when the
office boy gave h to the messenger. 1t re-
mained In the office desk until Saturday
evening, when he opened 1T, read it, and
then tore it to pieces and threw 1t in the
waste basket, not knowing what else to
do with it. On putting II together on the
following Monday he made out the super
scription as T. j. Clemens. He did not
make it out Cluverius.
THE NOTE ADMITTED.
Judge Atkins then stated that the only
thing that caused him TO rule against adj
mitting the note was the question OF iden-
tity; that now he was satisfied that it had
been sufficiently identified, and that he
would therefore admit 1t as evidence. The
note was then read as follows;
81 Will be there as soon as possible, so
do wait for me-"
II was not signed, but the envelope was
addressed TO ''T. j. Cluverius."
The counsel for the defense took an ex-
ception to the ruling, both as to
the envelope and the note in It..
The prosecution next introduced
the letter received by Mrs.
Fannie Walker, grandmother OF the de-
ceased, from Lillian, dated March IA, in
which she informed her that owing to bad
weather in the mountains she had closed
her school and was going to Old Point
Comfort with lady friend to remain some
time and that all her expenses would be
paid.
MAILING OF THE LETTER.
RObt. Carruthers, Assistant Postmaster
at Richmond, was summoned to testify as
TO the mailing Of the above letter. lie said
that it had been dropped in a street letter
box. He knew it by the stamp on the
envelope. 1t must have been dropped in
the box the night or evening before the
morning of March IA, as it was brought
in that morning by a collector.
The prosecution here rested their case,
and the court asked if the defense would
be ready to 90 on in the morning.
Judge Crump replied that they thought
so.
The court then adjourned until 10
O'Clock tomorrow morning.
