ing was Jailed, and James Murphy and

the whole, to consummate, II
possible, a contract with
the Wsco Water Company adjourned
without any definite action so far As the
public has any knowledge. They will
meet again tonight in secret session on

sion is that contract will be made with
the swa'er company. Though repeated
attempts in the past have
proved in vain, the citlzer
of Waco are looking forward with keen
interest to the result Of these secret ses-
sions, and to learn the specifications of
the contract, If one is made. A contract
#ill either be made, at this tine, with the
Waco Water Company, or the city will be
bound to build her own wsterworks.

He was surrounded by illustrious noble

Nineteenth Century.
When it first became apparent that the
evangelizstion OF Africa by means o.
white men was marked by such e terrible
loss of life-for in the earlier times OF AZ
rican missions the mortslity was muct
greater than in these day s of.mpler kroWl-
edge-the idea arose that the same enc
might be obtained, with less sacrifice. by
raising up teachers, evaDgelists AID pas
tors from among the natives themselves
This idea, theoretically good one, was
taken up with enthusiasm.
A negro Bishop was cODsecrated, ne gro
arch deacons were Ordained, large
ministry of negro clergy WAS formed Tor
service insWestern Atrica. Almost every
mission working in the dark continent
began to employ natives OF their own
training as schoolmasters, catechists,
readers and descons. Just as, about the
same time, commerce was 70 DE developed
between the white trader on the coasts
and the natives Of the interior by means OF
negro commercial travellers, "linguis-
teiros'i and middle men, so, in like man

by the Jealous efforts ofnegro evangelists
who were to radiate in their proselytisine
paths from few we'll chosen centers Cd
the coast presided over by white men.
Sut in neither career, evsDgtl site nor
commercial, did the naive helpers prove
a success. In both cases have white men
found that the negro ally was broken
reed.
regret to say that with few-very
rare-eXcept' those native African
pastors, teachers, and cathechists whom
| have met have been all, more or less,
bad men. They attempted to veil an un-
bridled immortality with an unolushing
hypocrisy and q profane display OF
"mouth" religion which TO an honest
mind, seemed even more disgusting
than the immortality itself. While
1t was apparent that one par
ticle of true religion had
made its way into their gross minds, 1t
vas also evident that the spirit Of sturd.

Whereas, the Industry OF the sheepmel
Of this country has been In @ parslszst
condition for the past four years on &C
count of the reduction OF the tariff q
1889 or wool, and that any further re
duction would be death blow to thafan
dustrY; and
Whereas, we view with alarm the po'
sition taken by the President in his an
nual message TO Congress IN regard tc
the reduction of the tariff on wool anC
the apparent disposition Of the majority
in Congles to place wool on the fres
list; therefore
Resolved, that it is impossible to com
pete with foreign countries In the pro
duction of wool, as the following exhibit
will show:
Cost to raise wool in the United States
IL cents per pound.
Australia, cents
South Amarics, 6S cents.
Mex!cc, 10 cents.
This IT m.rkable difference in cost Of
PRODUCTION IS due to the destruction Of
sheep by wild animals and the expenses
of herding not Incident to foreign coun-
tries.
Resolved. that the reduction EFF the
tariff of 1888 reduced the NUMBER OF sheep
in the country 5000, 600, the price OF wool
one-hslf, and produced such panic that
the herds were turned loose, as no longer
profitable.
Resolved, that We ask q restoration OF
the tariff on wool the same as that q

Resolved, that the President In refer
ing to hocss of twenty five and fifty

The Trust Ing uiry

NEW YORK, February 23.-The Senate
committee on trusts continued its SEES
sion to- day. In speaking of unwilling
witnesses, Chairman Arnold said that
their names had been placed on the
record as declining to answer pertinent
and proper questions relative to the
sugar trust. The committee had got
most of the information desired and he
did not know that the matter would go
any further. But the question would
be considered this week.
/. W. Dodsworth, managing editor OF
the Commercial Bulletin, was the first
witness called to show that the prices
of sugar had fallen from 1885 to the
time of the formation of the trust, when
they went up.
Mr.. Parsons said he had brought one
of tn certificates of stock and blanks of
reports of the companies to the board.
Henry o. Havemeyer was put on the
stand and examined concerning them
Bliss, as he started to examine the
witness, remarked exultingly: I'VE
have name for the board. The certii-
cate calls it The Sugar Re6ners' Com
pany.'"
Witness said there was no such COM
pany incorporated. that was tbs name
OF an aggregation of certificates. The
two blanks marked Nos. l and 2. De-
cember, 1887, he said, were filed in and
returned to the board; big 'H' III the
left upper corner indicated Hayemeyer
& Elder. Other companies In the trust
were designated by other letters in the
alphabet.

Helping the Right Side.

To help the right side is not only com
mendable IN general point OF view,
but is judicious and prudent when that
help is enlisted in behalf of The right
side of the body, just over the lower
ribs in the region of the liver. The
most efficient help is afforded by Hos
letters Stomach Bitters. an bilious
medicine of incompara bic efficacy. IN
action of the liver is accompanied by
constipation, sIck-headache, furred
tongue, nausea. occasional vertigo, an
unpleasant breath, yellowness of the
skin and ball of the eve. The author
of these symptoms, liver complaint,
routed by the Bitters is accompanied by
them in its flight. Fever and ague,
which always involves the liver dys-
pepsia, rheumatism, debility ana kidney
troubles ARE all maladies to the early
relief and final cure of which this
standard medicine is adapted. Don't
use it by fits and starts, but systemati-
cally, that its full effects may result in
perfect restoration of health.

OTTAWA, February 23.-.The Canadian
Parliament was opened to-day, by the
Governor-General. In his address he
congratulated the members on the
prosperity of the country, especially
Manitoba and the northwestern terri
tories. Referring to the fisheries treaty,
he said: 1.-The negotiations between Her
Majesty's government and that of the
United States for the adjustment of
what is known as the fisheries question,
have. am pleased to inform you, re-
suited in treaty which will, l venture
to hope, be considered by you IS honor
able and satisfactory to both nations.
The extension and development OF our
system of railways have not only
rendered necessary additional safe
guards for life and property, but have
gwen greater frequency TO questions IN
which the interest OF rival companies
are found to be in conflict and to re-
quire authoritative adjustment. AS
further legislation appears to be needed
for those purposes, a measure will be
submitted to you for the consideration
and I'm provement of the railway act"
Ny government has availed itself of
the opportunity afforded by the recess
to consider numerous suggestions
which have been made for improving
the details of the act respecting relative
franchise and measure will be sub
mltted tn you for the purpose of SIM

the costs Of its operation. The growth
OF the Northwest Territories renders ex-

these parts of the Dominion. and bill
for that purpose will be laid before you.
A bill will be submitted TO you to make
the larger portion of the modern laws
of England applicable to the P ovince
of Manitoba and to the Northwest Ter

LITHoNIA, Ga, August II, 1887.
THE SWIFT SPECIFIC Co., Atlanta, Ca,
Gentlemen-I have been afflicted with
liberation of the legs ever since was a
child, the disease undoubtedly being mere
ditary, as my mother suffered from scroIui;
GUS symptoms. As advanced TO MANHOOD
my sffiiction increased until the malay
became harrassing and painful beyond the
power OF words to describe. My right leg
particularly became fearrully involved, the
left leg being less painfully AFFECTED. F1nally,
about fourteen years ago, the ulcers on my
right leg had eaten through the flesh into
the bone. In order to save my life the 9oc-
tors determined to amputate my leg below
the knee The operation was successfully
performed by DIR. II. Y. NJ. Miller, OF Atlanta,
and Dr. W. P. Bond, of Lithonia. But the
loss of my leg gave me only temporary re;
lief The poison was still in my system and
soon began to show itself again. In snort
time after large ulce rs appeared on my ieIG
leg covering it from the knee to the 1nstep:
Frequently while at work l could be tracked
by the blood which ooZed from the huge
ulcers, and the sores and rottenlng noles
were so offensive that my fellow-Workmen
could not stand the stencil and would move
away from me.
Last winter was persuaded to try s. S. S;
As o last effort l consented TO do so, and
about seven months ago l began taking the
Specific. soon bega n to feel the Good ef1ects
OF the medicine, the offensive running began
to grow less and less and finally ceased, the
ulcers healed, my flesh became f1rm ana
solid, and to day, after using twenty.one
bottles, am as hale and stout man OF my
age as there is In Ge Orgla. am seNelVyoHe
years old, but feel now younger and stronger
than did when was twenty i've. lwelgh
about 10 pounds. Nothing is to be seen OF
the terrible disease, or to remind me Of the
torture suffered for so many years, except
the scars OF the perfectly healed ulcers:
want the world to know of the almost
miraculous cure effected on me by S. S. s.,
and call upon those who wish to know the
particulars directly from me to write, ana
will consider it pleasure as well as duty
to answer their letters. l refer TO DR.. W. P.

statement. Very gratefully yours
