Galveston (Tex.) News, Julye.
AT the last drawing of the Louisiana

Galveston who were fortunate enough
each TO win very handsome slices Of one
Of the capital prizes, their tickets being

won 500, 900, the two winners securing as
their share of this amount $500 each.
One was Oscar VIM. Ekelund, cabinet
maker residing at No. 1853 Twenty-seventh
street, the other Geo. Weiss, deliverer
for Fox's bakery. Mr. Ekelund believed
in the old maxim about faint heart, ="

Weiss, the winner of the other -, 500, was

never had faith in lotteries of any kind,

The Great Explorers Allegiance to tho
United States.
When an American flag was presented
10 Henry VI. Stanley ut the reception
given to him by the Americans in Lon
don a short time ago the great African
explorer said that lie had always con-
adcred himself an American and citi
zen Of the United States, but the circum-
stances under which he became a citizen
arc known TO only few. Stanley was
nnturalized in the superior coufft-J,f New
York on May Is, 1885. A few DAYS ago
Thomas Boese. the clerk of that court,
told Tribune reporter the circumstances
connected with the incident -On the
date mentioned" said Mr. Boese, the
late a. ;. Sullivan came into my office
and introduced me to Mr.. Stanley, who
wished 10 become citizen of the United
States / did not know that my visitor
was the great African explorer until he
had been in my office some time. Stan
ley told me that he had always consid-
cred himself n citizen of the United
States, as he had served in the Union
army, and had been honorably dis
charged While travelling in Europe,
however, he had met an American gem
tleman who had informed him that ne
must go through the forms as provided
by statute before he became a citizen,
and the fact that he was an honorably
soldier did not make him a
citizen OF the United States Stanley
was about to depart for Africa at that
time. and told me that he had come from
London TO New York especially to be
and that only few persons
knew that he was in this country. He
svore and produced witnesses who swore
that be had always considered himself
.itizen OF the United States, so he re-
ceiyed his certificate and departed. ~
Among the 800. 900 or 400, 900 autographs
which Mr.. Boese has attached to natur-
nlizssion papers in his custody Stanley's
is the one which is probably priced the
highest.

KEPT SILENT THIRTY YEARS.
4 Georgia Woman EsIiEIousiy Keeps q
Vow Niade 20 Her Husband.


Vow Made to Her Husband
The death Of Mrs Susan E. Merrifield,
which occurred here yesterday, says
special from Americas, Ga, to the Phila-
delphia Times, reyives interest in one of
the most peculiar cases ever known of a
VOW Of silence made and kept 80 years.
In $500 Mrs Merrifield, who, it is said,
was O little woman of peculiarly bright
and cherry disposition, was telling her
husband Of some occurrence, when he
requested her in very surly manner to
be silent, adding that the sound of her
voice was hateful to him.
Il seems that Mr.. Mortified, while
good husband in every other way, was
Ia the habit Of venting his displeasurc
when aroused by outside matters by i'll
humor with his wife, whose good nature
usually passed his testiness by, but on
this occasion she replied that, as it was
hateful to him, he should never hear her
voice again. And he never did, nor did
any other person ever hear it, for, in
spite Of her husbands remorse and re-
ufonstranccs from friends and relatives,
Mrs. Merriheld kept her room, though
she continued TO act the part of good
wife and mother, fulfilling every duty
scryrpulously. She even bore three
children TO her husband after this vow
was taken. When communication was
absolutely necessary with those about
her She used a slate, but reduced lam
guare Of signs to such perfection in gov
cruiug her household and children that
il was but seldom that this slate was re-
sorted TO.
It was thought that when her husband
died she would resume the use of her
speech, but while she sat by his dying
bed, devoted and loving to the last, in
answer to his supplications that she
sneak but a word to him, wrote on the
slate with all the evidences of grief;
can not, 1 can not, God forgive and help
me. l can mott" But whether it was
that she found it impossible to break her
will and her vow, or that long disuses had
affected her organs so that she really
could not use them, could not be arrived
NJ. but her family inclined to the latter
belief. for it is said that while she was on
her own deathbed she made distinct but
Intellectual efforts to speak to her chill
dren, dying with the seal of silence unre-
moved from her lips.

A Tried Remedy for Biliousness.

Those who suffer from disorder or mao
ton Of the liver will never get the upper
hand of the unruly organ so long as they
use such irrational remedies as blue pills,
calomel and podophyllin. But from the
tried and popular medicine, Hostetter's
Stomach Bitters, they may expect relief
with a certainty of obtaining it The in
huence of the Bitters on the great hillary
gland is direct, powerful and speedily felt
The relief afforded is not spasmodic, but
complete and permanent. The sallowness
of the skin, furred appearance of the
tongue, indigestion, costiveness, headache,
nausea, pains through the right side and
shoulder, in fact every accompaniment of
the obstinate complaint are entirely and
promptly removed by course of this in
estimable medicine, in behalf of which
testimony is constantly emanating from
every quarter, and from all classes of So
ciety.
