Radam Microbe Killer Co.,
Nashville, Tenn:
Gentlemen-I have been troubled for
some time with an acute form of kid
nev disease. for the relief of which I
have consulted several of the best phys
icians in this city, but with no appreci-
able benefits resulting from the faithful
use of the medicines ordered. I had
lost thirty or forty pounds in weight,
was naturally greatly reduced in siren
9Th and had frequent rigors which pos
sibly may have resulted from uremic
poison. Several WEEKS ago concluded
to give the Microbe Killer a trial, and
the results of its use has been crafty
Jog to me and surprise to my friends.
I have fully regained my strength and
weight, suffer but little or no pain.
have no recurrence of the rigors, ap-
petite kood, and have the fullest con-
fideuce in a complete restoration to
health. I willingly recommend the
Microbe Killer as a remedy of great
value.
Very respectfully,

corner OF Fourteenth and r. streets
the alleged Norfolk merchant stepped
iato the Ebbitt House. telling the
farmer that that was the express
Office. A moment later he returned
and said that he could not get his
birds because they would not cash
his check. He explained to the far
mer that he had 500 in his baggage
Of the boat, and if he would oblige
him with SIS until they returned to
the wharf he would then return it.
The farmer gave him the cash and

His Naughty Boy.


am writing the scrappy sort of letter
which Is particularly obnoxious to the soul
of the editor, and, therefore, take occasion
to tuck in story with IL moral which,
writes Arlo Bates in one Of his Boston let
ters, was told the other day in q discussion
on the training of children. A gentleman
who is regarded az somewhat eccentric by
the more conventional of his acquaintaIces,
and whose management OF his small son,
lad OF some seven years, is especially amaz-
ing to the gossips, returned home the other,
evening TO be met with the news that the
boy had cuta hole in the drawing room
sofa
"Well, my son." the fathersaid, after be-
ing informed by the lad that he had done
the damage under the pressure of an ire
sistiblo desire, such as is usually the plea
OF children in similar circumstances. ~

you to Sit on that cut place when All ybody
is here SO AS to cover it. l know you don't
like company very well, but know youl
mother would be ashamed to have callers
see that hole"
The small boy knew his father tco well
to protest, and indced for the moment h,
was probably only too harry to get of &c
easily. When, however. lc had been sum
moned to sit on that cut two or three time,
things wore 4 different aspect. Ha heard
the door-bell ring with apprehension, alu
when he was called for to run to the draw

II did not make any fuss when you cut my
new sofa covering, and can't allow you to
make a fuss about bearing the conse-
quences of what you did to please yourself"
The poor little wretch was reduced to
condition of despair pitiful to behold, when
his father said 10 him:
Nov, Willis. am going to make pro
osition to you. You may do just as you
please about it. promised you Il soldiers

rather took that money and had the sofa
-mended, 1 would put enough in it to get the
thing done. But if do you will get no uni
form at Christmas.
The lad chose to have the sofa mended,
and at Christmas he bore his disappoin,-
ment like his father son. He did have, it
is only fair to his. .father-to- add, agood deal
in the way Of alleviations OF one sort and
another.

AT THE PISTOLS POINT.
How Pretty Widow Thorpe Was Forced
Into Marriage.

JACKSONVILLE, FLA, April 21.-Geo.
X. Hubby, of Ferdandina, agent of the
Mallory line of steamships, and Mrs.
Thorpe, young and popular widow,
were married there yesterday under
very strange circumstances. Mrs. Hub
by says that they were out riding i'm a
carriage yesterday forenoon, and that
Hubby. after processing great love, pro-
posed and was refused. lie then in
great excitement drew an ugly-lOOking
pistol and threatened to kill her at once
if she didn't consent. Overwhelmed by
his awful threats she consented. lie
told her he would shoot her down at the
altar If She did not keep her promise.
Driving Immediately to his residence,
an Episcopal minister was called i'm and
the two were married.
The minister said that the lady made
all responses. but tainted when it was
over. Hubby half supported her while
he put the ring on her finger. He then
went to her parents and informed them
of the marriage, which aStoniShed them
greatly. Shortly after the bride escaped
from the house and fed to her parents,
at the Hotel Egmont. for protection. \
peace warrant for Hubby was at once
applied for. 1t is said that the scnsa-
tioual features Of the case will be made

A TRAFFIC IN GIRLS.
Shocking Exposure of British SIlsrule in
Madras.

LONDON, April 27.-A genuine sensa-
tion has been created in England by the
exposure OF the Madras slave trade,
briefly mentioned i'm former dispatch.
1t appears that in that British province
Of India, which has for many years been
under direct British administration, i
traffic in girls has been carried on as
outrageously as in COnstantinople, aud
with Just about the same amount Of Sc
crecy. In this way native harems have
been supplied. and ii is said that even
Europeans high In place have not been
guiltless in connection with the nefari-
GUS trade. The arrest and sentence Of
one of the slave dealers 10 a term Of inn
prisonment is regarded as a very made
quatc penalty for his crime and it is
suggested that the traffic will still be
pursued, but with greater caution than
heretofore. The authorities in India
are not disposed 10 interfere any more
than they can help with the customs Of
the natives. and especially in view Of
the possibility Of conflict with Russian
troops, whose progress in Central Asia,
as before described, is causing renewed
anxiety both in England and India.
