Hilton Wi iams has effected in my case with
his Compound Oxygen and other inhalations.
After suffering for several years with catarrh
of the head and throat, also bronchitis, which
caused very aggravating, cough, applied to
DR. Williams, who effected an entire cure in
just two months from the time I began the
treatment. I take pleasure in recommending
Dr. Williams as a Christian gentleman and
cures seem almost marvellous in cases of con-

The articles We're brought out by the

One of the yeomen searched the straw with
his dagger, and when he found there was
no evil thing hidden there he laid bed of

it. Then the bed Of down was we'll beaten
and bolster laid In its proper place.
Then the sheets were spread In due order,

turned down and some pillows laid on the

The wolverine Coming.

Detroit Tribune.)
THE WARRINGTON Critic appeals to
Michigan to I'LL a long-felt want In the Ma
tional Geological Garden. There is a
vacancy there which must be filed, and
THE CRITIC says that Secretary Noble of
the Interior Department is anxious to hear
from Michigan at once. What the Secre-
tary wants is genuine, thoroughbred
wolverine, which the writer goes on to de-
scribe as ''like cross between wolf and
a bear" The tail and temper Of the vol
VERNE, he says, resemble those of the wolf,
but In strength, size and savageness he rs
more like bear. He thinks there are q
few wolverines yet to be found In the woods
OF Northern Michigan, and he wants one
captured alive, II possible, and forwarded
to the National Zoo.
The CRITIC will please convey the Trio
une's compliments to Secretary Noble and
say to him that we thank him sincerely for
remembering Michigan. We may not be
able to send him Just the kind OF a vol
VERNE he wants, but we shall not forget his
kind offer. At this particular stage Of the
game Michigan does not feel like declining
position In any Of the various depart
ments at Washington. II this vacancy In
the Geological department is all that is to
be offered us at present, of course wen
take II, provided we can find Candidate
who will pass the examination. We had
hoped for a little better show than this, but II
this is the best the Secretary can do, we're
no kicker.

An exchange tells the following story OF
life's vicissltudes: "Five years ago Morris
Shultz, clerk on salary Of $500 a year
In st. Louis, rescued lady from drown
ing. An attachment sprung up, and after
brief courtship they were married. But
the wife was extrayagant, and the young
man was soon In debt, and even wofse.
Resorting to gambling, he staked every
dollar and won $4,000, With this he de-
cided 10 begin life anew, and conflded his
resolution to his wife. That night he was
chloroformed while asleep, and when he
came TO himself wife and money were gone.
For four years he searched for her, and last
week he found her in Wilkesbarre, Pa.
There were tears and reconciliation, and
the wife, who had misery enough, gladly
accepted her husbands forgiveness, and re-
newed her VOWS Of fidelity"

Public Honors to Journalists,

London Spectator)
There are in the Presidents choice of
foreign Ministers two things which impress
Europeans. First, the sweeping trans
formation. OF the entire American diplo-
matte service as each new administration
COMES into power. Second, In this case
the appointment Of so many Journalists to
be Ministers.
France is, perhaps, the only European
country where this causes no SURPRISE for
II is the only European country where jour
nalism habitually confers a great reputa-
tion and leads hahitually to great posts In
the public service. That an American
journalist should be the American Minister
to France seems to Frenchmen simply the
most natural thing in the world lie will
be acceptable, not in spite OF, but In part
because OF, his profession. Halfthe public
men he meets there will hail him as q
colleague on the press.

DETECTIVE BLOCKS STORY.

One of the bcst-known and most popular
members OF the Police Department In
Washington is Detective Block. BE ia far
from being what anyone would call key
hole detective, for he is as big as two ordi-
nary men. Quiet in his manner, gentle In
speech, deliberate in his movements, wear
ing always calm expression Of child-like
serenity on his face, you would never take
Detective Block for Vidocq. But he Is
one of the most accomplished ensnarers of
criminals in the country. He has spent
many years in the police service, and has
by shrewd investment accumulated prop
erty enough to make him quite independ-
ont Of his employment, should he choose to
be so. He is q man OF good education, a
native OF Austria, and ia a lingulst Of no
mean abilities, being conversaut with Eng
lish, German, French and one or two other
languages.
The biggest case that Mr.. Block ever
worked upon was the "Nardellon murder
case.
The body OF an unknown man was found
In an old shanty beyond the Howard Uni
versity, In an advanced state Of dccomposi-
tion. There was nothing by which to
identify the body and the stencil was so
great that It was almost impossible to re-
main in the presence of the corpse. Block
stood his ground, however, and noticing
that the flies gathered more thickly about
the neck than elsewhere he concluded that
the wound was there. Washing the blood
and dirt away he found clean razor-like
cut extending from ear to ear. He con-
cluded from various indications that the
man was an Italian and went away to
colony Of Italians who were working on
sewer on Boundary street.
After long search he found two men
who could identify the body, mainly by the
clothing. Nardello was missing from the
colony, and two men remembered having
seen him in company with the dead man
near the old shanty. The Italians were
divided into squads to search the city, and
Nardello was found In house of bad rep
utation. After being confronted with the
evidence against him he broke down and
admitted his guilt, trying at the same time
to implicate sthe men who had given evI-
dence against him. His only object in
making the confession was to revenge him
self upon the informers The case II will
be remembered, ended with the hanging Of
Nardello.

EGAN AND pEYoY

The old saying that an Irishman Is
never at peace unless he is fighting
somebody really did not need any cor.
roboration just at this time, nor did IL
ever for that matter, but II Is getting IL
in the shape Of a Donnybrook Fair af-
fair between Mr.. Patrick Egan, Minister
to Chill, and Mr.. John Dewey of the
Irish National League.
Mr.. Dewey charges Mr.. Egan with
calling him traitor to the Irish
cause which Mr.. Egan denies, and
intimates that his friend John Is the
author Of lot Of untruthful articles
published about him (Egan).
This John denies, and demands sat.
isfaction. To this Patrick says he will
give him the name of his attorney,
though why Patrick wants to have his
attorney licked does not appeal Then
John comes back with such words as
"sneaking" and "cowardly" and "lie"
and Cur" and liar, and other choice
hibernianisms and then waits for
Patrick to jump ON him. He does not,
and the matter comes up before the
New York Municipal Council Of the
Irish National League, and various Eek
lies of Erin and oppressed children
of the Emerald Isle" and "down.trodden
Irishmen" got up on their "paster-
j'ints," and the way they went for Mr..
Egan wasn't the kind of stuff the
Blarney Stone is made out of by good
deal.
The council finally unanimously
adopted resolution providing for an
Egan investigating committee to be ap-
pointed by Mr., Parnell The commit
tee will also be expected to show up
other traitors who are in the League.
All around II is nice little Irish
stew, and is neither unexpected or sur
prising.
If all were harmony all would not be
Irish.
Let them fight 1t out in peace.
