THE EXILIR OF LIFE.
What q Prominent New York
Doctor Has TO Say Upon the SUBJ
ject Which Is Attracting so
Much Attention.

"Do you believe in the Elixir OF Life?" 1
asked prominent New York physician, re-
Gently
The doctor thought moment, carefully, and
said; Certainly do, but not in the way in
which Doctors Brown-Sequard or Hammond
have been describing 1t. All that has been said
in the press of the land for the past months
proves that something is needed to assist and
sustain the vital and often falling forces OF life
but Nature never intended the human body for
injections, and they are always injurious be-
cause unnatural"
"But is 1t not often done, Doctor"
II am sorry to say 1t is. Morphine injections
are far too common, and they are the great cause
OF that fearful living death, known as the opium
habit There is but one way to properly reach
or sustain the vitality and life, and that Is
through the stomach, and there is no discovery
of modern times which, if rightly used.- does
this so thoroughly, keeps back disease and pro-
longs life, as pure whiskey Mind you. | say
fects of pure article like Duffy's Pure Malt
Whiskey, are particularly those of an elixir of
life.' 1t tones up and strengthens the system,
without in furious reaction or without the form
alton of any habit. 1t tends to renew life in
the aged and restore it to those in middle life.
For women especially. who are weak, languid
or suffering as most women are, 1t is almost In
valuable. All physicians learn these things
| from their practice, and cannot but be be-
levers in true and sensible elixir of life like
| this pure article of which l have been speak.
| ing"
The Doctor himself seemed to be a good ex-
ample of the truths he advanced for his strong
frame and clever eve showed him to be in per-
feet health, and left him much impressed by
the clearness, truth and common-sense of his
statements

Corporal Tanner at Chautauqua.

Commissioner of Pensions Tanner arrived at
Chautauqua, N. Y, on the morning of Aug. "a,
and was received with asalute of 81 guns. The
Fenton Guards escorted the Comm ssoner from
the landing place to his hotel He was loudly
cheered when ho arose to speak in the after
noon, and his eloquent and stirring address was
applauded to the echo He protested against
uncharitable criticisms of the old veterans, aud
demanded that there should be some disposi
tion shown to believe that they are not all born
liars and that their words are as true to-day as
their hearts were 25 years ago. He said it was
true that they received pay for their work in
the field, but something else was promised
them; that the United States was now paying
pensions Of between three and four cents n day
to little over "a, ,000 men. but that there would
bo considerable increase over that number
next year. The Commissioner Is deeply inn
pressed with the s0lemnity of his official oath,
but he says he will continue to stay up nights,
as he has done for the past four months, to hunt
up opportunities, not to bestow charity, but to
do justice to the soldiers If the promises
made during the last contest are not to be full
filled, he knew man who was nightly out
of place in his official life He also said that
his mail averaged 1900 letters day, and that
they were all great wall of wo. For 20 years
he has been before the people telling them
what he believed was due the veterans. and he
thanked God that he had now the power to
transmute some Of the coin of the Republic
into sunshine and send it streaming into the
homes of suffering and want and approved pat
riotism.

The Lost yandaiIa's Dog.


There is q small dog along the city front that
feels just about as dsconsolate rs small dogs are
supposed to feel when they have done anything
out OF the way. This little dog, however, is
rather a hero, having survived the wreck of the
Vandalia at Samoa. and returned with his ship
mates on the Rockton TO Mare Island, where he
was adopted by the crew of the Adams.
Having been boss of the Vandalia, this little
dog, who goes by the enphonious name of Mig,
thought that he should hold tho same position
on the Adams, aud when IL was disputed by
Lieutenant Winslows setter Mig became in
dignant aud whipped the Lieutenant's dog SO
badly that for some time his life was despaired
of This was horrible indignity for the quar-
terdeck to sustain ut the hands of q forocaste
dog. and Lieut.. Winsow ordered the sailors to
throw Mig overheard as dishOnorably dseharg-
cd dog. This was something the Jack tars could
not think of doing, aud as they could not keep
their pet aboard, and had no way of getting him
back TO Mare Island, as the Adams was about to
go to sea, they brought Mig ashore and turned
him over to the Vandalia sailors who are wait
ing along the water front for their back pay aud
bag money
Getting dishonorable discharge after four
years service in the Navy. was pretty tough
on Mig, and Thursday night he managed to get
full. Yesterday he was sick and felt pretty
badly, and as no had never been ashore before
he did not know how to act. The number of
people aud the number of dogs nearly drove
him crazy, and he lay down on the sidewalk
aud moaned. The dog feels so badly ashore
that the Vandala sailors are going to try to get
him back into the service in some way, and
they think that after his gallant service in Sa-
moa they will be able to have Lieut.. Winslow 8
dishonorable discharge set aside and Mig re-
stored to his former proud position on one Of
Uncle Sans war ships.

DIDN'T KNOW SHERMAN.

Astonishing Ignorance Displayed by Hotel Clerk.
Merchant Traveller.
The other evening Gen. Sherman went to q
well-known hotel In New York and inquired
of the room clerk if he could hire an umbrella,
at the same time explaining that he had been
caught out in his evening suit and he feared
rheumatism and other complaints. The clerk
didn't know him, but he thought he could well
afford to take chances on such an eI5inently re-
spectacle BLOCKING gentleman, and although the
polite clerk has a rotund figure and weighs
about 212, he gladly offered TO loan him his
overcoat as well as his silver. handled umbrella.
But" said the General, "you are lending
these things TO an entire stranger. aud you
ought to accept some kind of deposit TO secure
you against dishonesty"
"ob, that's all right. Colonel" replied the
clerk 81 cant be deceived by you. I'd trust
that face Of yours for anything"
The warrior was tiekled by the compliment
and he remarked casually as he won't out with
his tall. gaunt form euveloped in the garment
that fitted him like a meal sack, "Til take you
at your word, and you shall have my card when
/ return these things"
The next day the coat and umbrella arrived,
accompanied by note Of thanks and photo
graph OF Gen. William T. Sherman, with his
autograph across It's face. "Great Scott!" said
the clerk, and / called him Colonel, just as
II he had been any ordinary American citizen !
/ wouldn't mind 1t half so much IL had called
him Judge but TO be reduced In military rank
after NIL his years Of service-and by hotel
clerk! It Is awful"
