THE TWO WARDS.
ONE IS RELEASED, WHILE THE
OTHER Is Gagged.
Two Important Gases Now Presented to
the Public-0ne Living Monument
Of Disgrace, the Other Restored
to Home and Friends-The
Case as it Stands.

The arm Of Grant Il Ward have enjoyed
large share of free advertising In this country
but the effect has been of an unenviable charac-
ter. There are two Wards, whose names appesr
prominently before the masses, of peculiar in
terest. Both have been placed In q pertlous
condition. and both have made desperate struV.
giles in order to obtain relief. While enc los,
his money the other lost his health One has
succeeded in obtaining an entire release, with
out the assistance Of lawyers, while the other
who had money, friends and lawyers in sbun-
dance, has succeeded in securing a cell for ten
years in the penitentiary. The one who went
to law can truly say, wards woes" have Ius,
commenced, while the other VINO did not resort
to law, can say. Wards woes" have ended.
Ferdinand Ward. of Grant Ward. has met
with his reward, and will NOT soon be caught
in the same snap. while Robert Ward, of Max
eys, Ca, has been snatched from the whiting
agonies OF disease and impending death. ANT
now boasts of healthy constitution and clear
conscience.
Both had an ahund rec of bad blood. very bad
blood. and while Ferdnands worked upon his
brain. producing wild authorizations of fat lobs
and big money, Roberts broke out on his skin
producing wonderful and tormentlng, eating uI
GERS, from which his friends turned away In dis
gust The latter struggled long and earnestly
FOR relief, but never obtained it until he sent
some money to w. c. Brchmore Il Co., mer-
chants at Maxeys, Georgia, and secured fcom
them Il remedy which effected one Of the most
the state. DR.. A. II. Brghtwtll, of the same
place, will testify to the almost miraculous cure
Mr.. Ward suffered from terrible form of blood
poison. and he had become so disgusting and
offensive that for three years he actually refused
to be seen, ard was waiting for death to claim
him. But he is now well and happy.
What cured him. did you ask7
Well, 1t was b. b. b -Botanic Blood Balm
that did the work. He has been out of his
prison over year and IS sound as dollar. A

tinople that Rustem Pasha, Turkish Am
bassador to England, recently made Ger
tain important representations III behalf of
Iddesleigh, British Minister for foreign
Affairs, but the tenor of the representa-
tions remains an official secret. A deputa-

both President Grevy and Premier de Frey

that the Government declare urgency for
