Ayers Pills. They have done me more

TAKEN" John Burdett, Troy, Iowa,
writes: 'sFor nearly two years my life
was rendered miserable by the horrors of
Dyspepsia. Medical treatment afforded
me only temporary relief, and became
reduced in flesh, and very much debili-
tated. A friend of mine, who had been
similarly afflicted, advised me to try
Ayers Pills. I did so, and with the
happiest results. My food soon ceased to
distress me, my appetite returned, and
became as strong and well as ever"

half OF two years ago Cornelius and William
K. Vanderbilt went into the market un-
doubtedly with the expectation that they
could arrest the downward movement which
was destined to eliminate in the failure Of
Grant & Ward. The common understanding
is that this little venture of the two men
cost their father about $4,000, GOETHE sum
that he had to pay to extricate them from
the Eclutches of the victorious bears 1t SO
happened that while his brothers were bulls,
Fred, the youngest of the three, was bear,
and made money while his brothers lost.
How much is not known, but the best au-
thorities place his winnings at from mil
lion to million and a half. This incident
gave Mr.. Vanderbilt good deal Of concern.
While he may have admired the shrewdness
of Fred, he could never forgive him for JOIN
ing the bears and selling the marker, ana the
fact that Fred was not made one OF the re-
siduary legatees of the will is generally sup
posed to be due to this fact.

The Atlanta ''Wets," so called, are still
struggling to upset the decision of the voters
in the recent liquor contest. The law says
that within 20 days from the announcement
of the result of the election by the Ordinary,
one-tenth of the voters who voted can petit
ton the Superior Court for contest. If it
is shown that there is cause to impeach the
fairness of the election, Or the conduct of
the Ordinary, the judge shall grant an order
to three justices Of the peace. to recount the
votes and report the result to the next term
of court Petitions have been circulated,
and a sufficient number of names obtained
to begin contest. The "Drys" think they
are sure to win eventually, and that the
most the ''Wets" can do is to postpone the
inevitable little.

A case of great interest to all members of
the Roman Catholic church has just been de-
cided. Thomas Cunning, who died in New
York in 1882, left a will which made legacies
to his relatives and bequeathed the residue
of his estate to his executors for the repose
of his soul, the souls of his family and the
souls of all others in purgatory. The sum
involved was $1,000. Several of the legatees
brought action to have this provision of the
will declared invalid. Judge Cullen of the
supreme court of Kings county has just filed
an opinion sustaining the clause in question.
The judge holds that a provision for masses
for the benefit of the testator's soul is ex-
actly akin to provision for his funeral or
monument

NATIONAL SPELLING.
Snrinrfield Union.

Congressman Lawler of Chicago, once al
derman of that great city, and presumably
mon people, has introduced bill in Con-
gress appropriating from the national treas
Ury $4,000 to be paid over to Charles A:
Story of Chicago, to be used in the practical
application of the science Of spelling, devised
by Mr.. Story. The bill declares that Story S
science of spelling will confer greater bene-
fit upon the country and its people TRAN
either steam or electricity, and that under
this system children of four years will be
able to master easily words of one syllable,
finish its education at the age Of eight. Such
benefits would indeed be incalculable What
piles Of school money we shall save, and
what an advance in civilization it will be
when children Of eight are as fit to enter Con-
gress, and take part in the national counsels,
as Congressman LaWler!

the HOUSE COMMITTEES.

Speaker Carlisle yesterday finished the
arduous task of constructing the committees
ana announced the result to the House. The
chairmanships of the principal committees
had been pretty accurately foreshadowed
Mr.. Randall gets his old place at the head of
the appropriations committee. but the new
rules have shorn it Of so much of its impor-
lance and so curtailed the power that the hold
er of it used to enjoy that it is not likely that
the revenue reform Democrats will grudee
him the place. Revenue reformer Morrison
gets the craftsmanship of the ways and means
committee, the most important on the list,
as he did in the last House. The Speaker
yielded to the demands of the silver men and
appointed Mr.. Bland to the head Of the COM
mittee on coinage. Whether a majority of
the committee agrees with Mr.. Bland or diff
fers from him on the silver question remains
to be seen. His selection for this place
will undoubtedly be distasteful to the
administration and all sound money ad-
vocates, but as he pretty fairly represents
the views of the majority of the Dem
ocratic members on the silver ques-
ton, it is defensible on that ground.
Perry Belmont, the aspiring young Con-
gresham from New York, thanks to the
position of his father and the influence of
Secretary Bayard, has beaten ex-Gov. Cur
tin in the contest over the Craftsmanship of
the foreign affairs committee, which the lat
ter held in the last House. Had fitness alone
been considered, it is safe to say Belmont
would not have won. Curtin'S wounded
feelings are somewhat soothed by putting
him at the head of the committee on bank
ing. A man from an inland State, who has
never seen ship unless when he has been a
long way from home, is assigned the task of
formulating measure to revive American
shipping. The Craftsmanship of the COM
mittee ON naval affairs goes to Herbert of
Alabama.
In view of the fact that the speaker had
nothing but Democratic material to draw on
for the chairmanships, perhaps he has done
as well as could be expected. His worst Sc
lection is that of Bland.
