The Oleomargarine Bill passed the House
of Representatives Friday as amended by
the Senate, and now goes to the President
for his action. 1t fixes the tax on the sale
of oleomargarine at two cents per pound,
instead of five cents, as provided in the
original House bill, and confines the penal
ties to persons who "knowingly' violate
the provisions Of the act. Altogether, the
bill is small outcome for the large sanount
of talk expended on it.
The amendment by the Senate reducing
the tax to two cents per pound renders the
bill worthless las it will not restrict the
manufacture and sails of olesmargarine. 1t
is lame and impotent conclusion after so
much ado, and is tantamount to much ado
about nothing.

UNITED AFTER A LONG SEPARATION

UNITED AFTER A LONG SCRANTON
A dispatch from st. Louis to the New York
World gives the particulars of the meeting
in that city last week of George Snyder
and his wife after a long separation. Ac-
cording to the Worlds account, in 1866
Geo. Snyder, aged 10 years, and Miss La
vinia Brown, an attractive young lady, both
of Alexandria, Va, eloped and were mar
ried in Washington. After the honeymoon
Snyder left for the West, leaving his wife
with her parents The wife in few
months joined her husband in Chicago,
where he seemed to prosper in business.
After time she visited her parents in AL
exandria, and on returning to Chicago she
found that he had disposed Of his business
and disappeared, it being claimed that there
was another woman in the case. She soon
returned to her parents, who had removed
to Baltimore. Eleven years ago she heard
that her husband had died in St. Louis, and
shortly afterwards she was married to Al
exander Mcdonald, of Baltimore, with
whom she went to Kansas City, where Nc
Donald became foreman of the round-house
of the Fort Scott Road. During a visit of
Mrs. Mcdonald to Baltimore in 1885 her
husband went to st. Louis, and while hav-
| ing good time generally, met George Sny-
der. The two men freely discussed their
past, and it was finally developed that they
were both married to the same woman.
Nc Donald applied for and secured divorce
upon his return homo without his wife's
knowledge, but later informed her of what
he had done and of the meeting with Sny-
der She Immediately went to st. Louis,
and the police soon succeeded il locating
Snyder in small blacksmith shop, where
he was employed. Mrs. Mcdonald visited
the shop and recognized Snyder. A recon
Citation followed, each promising much to
the other for the future. Mrs. Snyder will
return to Kansas City, where she has suit
against Mcdonald for alimony, after which
she will aid Snyder to reach New York
where he has relatives in good circum
stances. Sheis still a good-looking woman
of medium height, with black hair and
dark eyes. She is now 80 years old.

A METEOR FALLS IN WIscoNsIN.-Peo-
pie in the vicinity of Grafton, Ozaukee coun-

fall of meteor near that place. While a
party of harvesters we're at work in bar
ley field on the farm of Henry Diederick, a
mile and half south of the village, they
were suddenly startled by loud and
strange sounding noise, not unlike the roar
Of a long train of cars. The spectators saw
what appeared to be a huge ball of smoke
rapidly descending to the earth. 1t struck
the earth within few rods of where they
we're standing, and buried itself deep in the
ground. The news spread rapidly through
out the township and county, since which
time Mr.. Diederick's barley field has been
visited by hundreds Of people, including
many scientific men. The hole in the
ground is three or four feet in circumference.
Its depth is unknown. All attempts to find
bottom by inserting poles having, it is said,
proved futile. Mr.. Diederick is now en-
gagged in excavating the earth around the
spot where the meteor lies embodied, and
intends to bring the latter to the surface if
it takes all summer.

LYNCHBURG' CENTENNIAL FAIR.-The

issued, sets forth in detail the programme
of the next fair, to be held October II to Is,

being made than ever before to add to the
attractions of the exhibit, and the mansgsps
promise an earnest and honest endeavor to
make the approaching fair the very best in
every way that has ever been held in Vir-

them. The premium list is the largest ever
offered by the society, and includes $4,000
for the trials of speed, trottiug and running
races both being provided for. In addition
to the attractions Of the exhibit, there is to
be an intellectual entertainment of no COM
mon order. Gov. Fitzhugh Lee will open
the exposition, and he is always happy in
his speeches. Hon. John W. Daniel will
believer an address, and Mr.. James Barron
Hope will read a centennial poem. MIR. G..
M. Blackboard, president of the society, will
deliver the historical address, and ex-senator
Allen G. Thurman, who is native of
Lynchburg, has been requested to honor the
occasion by his presence and an address up
on such theme as he may see proper to
select. President and Mrs. Cleveland are
among the invited guests. An interesting
feature of the occasion will be trades dis
play, in which the industries of Lynchburg
and surrounding country will be handsome
ly represented. Altogether, the Lynchburg
centennial fair promises to be an event Of
unusual interest.

WHY Is 1T

~ WHY is 1T
That rheumatism and neuralgia are so
prevalent? This question has not been
satisfactorily answered, but it is certain
that these diseases are not only the most
painful but among the most common, and
some member of nearly every family in the
land is the victim of one of these dread
tormentors. Ladies seem to be peculiarly
liable to neuralgia attacks, which, in the
form of neuralgia headache, pain in the
back, or nervous pains are of constant oc-
currence. Not until the discovery of Athlo-
phoros had any remedy been found for
either rheumatism, neuralgia or nervous
headache, and they were generally con-
coded to be incurable, but Athlophoros
has been proved to be not only a certain
cure for these diseases, in all their varied
forms, but a safe remedy. If, in the use
of Athlophoros, the bowels are kept freely
open, its success is certain and to aid this,
Athlophoros Pills are recommended,
which, while providing the necessary
cathartic, will be found to be valuable
aid to the action of the medicine. Athlo-
phoros is no experiment, it has been tested
and has proved its wonde riul efficacy.
The Athlophoros Pills were originally
prepared as remedy for use in connection
WIFI AlnlOpnOrOS, lOr rheumatism anu
neuralgia and kindred complaints. Used
in connection with that remedy, they are
certain cure for either of these very COM
mon and distressing dis eases. They have
also been found to be an Invaluable remedy
for any and all diseases arising from vitiated
blood or general debility. They are es-
pecially valuable for nervous debility, blood
poisoning, dyspepsia, distress after eating,
headache, constipation, loss of appetite,
and all stomach or liver troubles. For
diseases of women they are invaluable.
These pills are perfectly harmless and may
be safely used by adults or children.
Testimonials of those who have been
cured will be sent free on application.
Every druggist should keep Athlophoros
and Athlophoros Pills, but where they can
not be bought of the druggist, the Athlc-
phoros Co., 1l2 Wall St., New York, viii

Fiction and Crime.

A very grave thing is the sanguinary
tone of so much French story writing.
There is an obvious love of describing
brutality for its own sake and labor
iously inventing the details of hideous
murders. Along with this criminal
fiction there is development of crime
which is almost unparalleled, and il is
impossible not to see connection be-
tween the two. Some time ago it was
calculated that in one month murders
had been committed, or at least at
tempted, at the rate of rather more
than one day. Since then the record
has been well kept up. One assassina-
ton follows another, and they are
adorned with a degree of art which
seems to indicate the existence in the
mind of the murderer of a certain feel
ing of emulation. Whenever a ruflian
makes his mind up now to kill his mis-
tress he seems to cast about for the
most striking and public way of doing
it, as if he wished to see whether he or
the author of the last tale of horror had
the livelier imagination.-1he Saturday
