An IlIustriOus Skinflint.

Another illustrious skinf1int is coming
as such to the front. mean the Prince
of Monaco. That sovereignlet, need
hardly say, has followed the example of
the Landgravine of Hesse, the Dukes of
Nassau, the Grand Dukes of Baden, and
the Princes of Waldeck- -Pyrmont in max
ing money out of hell His gambling
concession to the Monaco Company and
tables bring him in, and have brought
him in for years, an income that amounts
on an average to f600 day. He is a
widower, blind, keeps up no sort of style
or state at his country seat of LIE Mar
chais or at his hereditary palace of Mon
AGO, and has but one son and O grandson
to provide for, I do not suppose he
spends $4,000 year.
"Well, when last winter earthquakes
shook the Riviera, Monaco not escaping,
the first thought of the Prince and his
partners was to keep their source of
wealth up to its usual money-producing
mark, SO they caused kilograms to be
sent to the newspapers everywhere to
make believe that as the earthquake did
not trouble Monaco, gamblers need not
stay away in dread. It was only when
things had got back into the old rut, and
the roulette tables were in full swing,
shat any thought was given to the VIC
tins of the earthquake, and means re-
sorted to for clearing up shattered houses.
A subscription was set on foot, which
the Prince was asked to head, and he
led off with sum Of G4O0-less than a
single days income. He stipulated,
moreover, that half-namely $500
was to be spent at Mentone, on his own
estate there, town which once was
under his sway, and in which he has
still valuable property. The sovereignty
of Mentone he sold for a160,OO0 to Ma
poleon III.-a sum represented by per-
petual income from France of 5000 o
year out of the 3per cents. The Casino,
or He'll, Company was much more liberal
than The blind old Prince. 1t subscribed
81, 400, which is less than days profit
on one of the six roulette tables, and
this is to be recouped (and more) by an
other table. "-Modern Society.

The Lessons Of "Unser Fritz Case.

The greatest doctors in Europe don't seem
TO known what ails "Unser Fritz
Thus are the Garfield and Grant episodes
repeated, and public confidence in expert"
medical knowledge is again shaken.
The effects a revulson
Since the fatal days of 1888 many of the
doctrines of the schoolmen concerning ex-
tensive medication have been abandoned,
and all schools OF practice are more and more
relying upon old-fashioned simple root and
herb preparations and careful nursing-the
only reliances known to our ancestors
These methods and rellances are Illustrated
to-day in a series Of old fashioned roots and
herbs preparations recently given to the
world by the well-known proprietors Of
Warmers safe cure-preparations made from
formulp possessed by many of our Oldest
families, and rescued for popular use, and is
sued under the happy designation Of War
uers Log Cabin Remedies.
My son, exclaimed a venerable woman to
the writer when he was boy, "my son you're
yeller and pale and weak like lookin', you're
needin' a good shaking up with some
sas'parir."
A jug of spring sarsaparilla was Just as
necessary in the winter supplies OF fifty
years ago as was barrel of pork, and a
famous medical authority says that the very
general prevalence of the use OF such prep
aration as Log Cabin Sarsaparilla explains
the rugged health of our ancestors.
While Warmers Log Cabin Sarsaparilla Is
an excellent remedy for all seasons of the
year, it Is particularly valuable in the spring,
when the system is full of sluggish blood and
requires natural constitutional tonic and
invigorator to resist colds and pneumonia,
and the effects of long winter. Phlo M.
Parsons, clerk OF the City Hotel Of Hartford,
Conn, was Frustrated with cold which, he
said, seemed to settle through my body.

came impoverished and poisoned, indicated
by inflamed eyes. l was treated, but my

"Under the operation Of Warmers Log
Cabin Sarsaparilla and Liver Pills." he says,
''the sore and inflamed eyes disappeared.
My blood, / know, is In healthier condition
than it has been for years. l have much
better appetite. l shall take several more
bottles for safety's sake. Warmers Log
Cabin Sarsaparilla is great purifier and
most heartily recommend it."
A few bottles of Warmers Log Cabin Sar-
saparilla used in the family now will save
many week of sickness and many dollar
of bills Use no other. This is the oldest,
most thoroughly tested, and the best is put
up in the largest sarsaparilla bottle on the
market, containing 120 doses. There is nc
other preparation of similar name that can
equalit The name of it's manufacturers is O
guarantee of its superior worth.
While the great doctors wrangle over the
techncaities of an advanced medical science
that cannot cure disease, such simple prepa-
rations yearly snatch millions from untime-
ly graves.

He Won the Hat.

A wager of q silk hat once cost many
lives. 1t was in 1912, when Captain
Decatur, of the United States Navy,
commanding the frigate United States,
met Captain Garden, commanding the
Macedonia, of the British Navy. 1t
was lust prior to the war of 1912, and
while talking about the chances Garden
said to Decatur:
"If you and ever meet after hostili-
ties are declared, I'll bet you silk hat
that the Macedonia will capture the
United States.
"I'll bet you a silk hat you don't," was
the reply. go
The two frigates met on Oct. 25, 1872,
and after bloody fight the English flag
was lowered.
Decatur hastened on board the prize
and Garden rendered his sword.
"Confound your sword, Garden, an
swered Decatur. 81 bet you silk hat,
and as we're long way from halter,
I'll take the one you wear" The hat

Who is Never Crazy7

There are many firm believers in the
theory that most people are crazy at
times, and facts seem to support their
belief. The following, from source
unknown to the writer, will likely re-
mind number of our readers OF some
incident in their experience, which at
the time of its occurrence seemed to
them most uuaccountable:
"a wise man will step backward off
porch or into puddle, great philoso-
pher will hunt for the specks that are i'll
his hand or on his forehead, hunter
will sometimes shoot himself or his dog.
"A working girl had been feeding great
clothing knife for ten years. One day
she watched the knife come down slow
ly upon her hand. Too late she woke
out of her stupor with one hand gone.
For few seconds her mind had failed,
and she sat by her machine temporary
lunatic and had watched the knife ar-
rroach her own hand. A distinguished
professor was teaching near canal.
Walking along one evening in summer
he walked as deliberately into the canal
as he Ind been walking along the path
u second before. He was brought to his
senses by the water and mud and the
absurdity of the situation. He had on a
new suit of clothes and new silk hat,
but though the damage was thus great,
he still laughs over the adventure. Our
mail collectors find in the iron boxs,
along the streets oil sorts of papers and
articles which have been put in BY some
hand from whose motions the mind has
become detached for second. A glove,
pair of spectacles, deed, q mortgage,
a theatre ticket, goes in, and on goes the
person, holding on to the regular letter
which should have beendeposited. This
is called absent-m but is a
brief lllnacy."

Hon. C3eorge ID. Wise.

Hon. GEoRaR ID. WISE was yesterday
unanimously nominated for reelection
to the national House Of Representa-
tives. In nominating him the conven-
ton carried out the viii OF the people.
Mr.. Wise is in many respects model
congressman. He is never too busy to
answer letter from the humblest OF his
constituents. His time is never so
closely occupied whilst in Washington
that he cannot see all callers from his
district and accompany them to the
White House or the Departments.
In addition to these recommendations
we may add that Mr.. WISE as congress
man measures up to the Jeffersonian
stsndard-he is capable, faithful. and
honest. He is not afraid to measure
swords with the best Republican debater
in the House. He has never been worsted
in an encounter OF wits. He fayed
BoUTELLE aud on several occasions he
has shown that Virginia's interests will
never suffer in Congress from Indifference
on bis part, nor from want Of ability, nor
from fear to face her strongest foe. We
feel perfect confidence when he Is IN
the House of Representatives that no.
body will hit him or Virginia O blow that
will not be returned.
Again Mr. WISE has been in Con-
gress so long that he knows all the Sc
crets OF legislation. He knows all the
most experienced members. He can APP
proach them as o stranger could not. SO
as to business before the Departments
and requests to be made OF the Presi-
dent.
In a word, GEORGE d. WISE is 20 good
and faithful a public servant that the
Republicans ought to be ashamed to
nominate candidate to run against him,
and would not il it were not for the
negro voters in the district.

The Second District.

The anti Mahoneites developed unex-
pected strength in the convention for
the Second district, whose proceedings
we gave yesterday. General GRoNRR
had offered to withdraw il his MALONE
competitor would do so. The Norfolk
Landmark says;
"Mr. Bowden will be fortunate If he
escapes n Langston in the person Of
Sandy Williams, tue colored sheriff of
Elizabeth City county, who was endorsed
by the boiling and contesting delegates,
who are in sympathy with the Wise
Houston and Groner movement
1.-THE success OF the Malone wing was
not manifest in the proceedings of the
convention after the nomination Of Mr..
Bowden was made, for Colonel Martin,
who was opposed by General Groner for
the place Of district elector, received but
a small majority and that was obtained,
it is claimed, by wrongly admitting
contesting delegation in his favor. The
strength developed by General Groner
and his friends was doubtless a great
surprise to those who thought his candi-
dacy without much backing. They evil
IDENTIFY represent a very considerable ele-
ment of the party in the district, and we
should not be astonished if before this
contest Is over General Mahone's ap-
parent triumph is turned into genuine
defeat. II none of his victories are
greater than this few of them will ruin
him."
