Weoffer no apology for devoting so much
time and attention to this much neglected
class of diseases, believing that no condition
Of humanity is too wretched to merit the sym
pathy and best services of the profession to
which we belong, as many are innocent suf-
ferers, and that the physician who devotes
himself to relieving the afflicted and saving
them from worse than death, is no less a
philantrOphlst and beneiactOrt to his race than
the surgeon or physician who by close appli-
cation eXcels in any other branch OF his pro
fession. And, fortunately for humanity, the
day is dawning when the false philantrophy
that condemned the victims OF folly or crime,
like the lepers under the Jewish law to die
uncared for, has passed away.

marlborough Enterprise.
tMiddlesborough Special,

The finest freight train that ever started
over railroad track left Middlesborough
to-day en- route for Louisville, over the
Louisville & Nashville road. The train
was composed of twenty new cars and q
coach and was heavily freighted with the
minerals and timber of this section of the
country. Its mission is TO show the peo-
pie of the United States the rich products
Of Southeastern Kentucky and of North
eastern Tennessee. 1t is an exposition
train, filled with the choicest specimens
of coal, coke, iron ores, manganese, lime
stone, sandstone, building stone, marble,
all kinds of woods, mineral paints, con-
glomerate clays, cement, rock and brick.
1t will reach Louisville at noon to-mor-
row and will be ON exhibition in the yards
of the Louisville & Nashville railroad
company until the 5th of October, when
it will leave for Knoxville, where it will
be one Of the principal attractions during
the vererans' reunion which takes place
in that city on the It'll instant. 1t will
then proceed to Atlanta, Ca, where it will
bo given prominent place at the Pied
mont exposition. The train will return
to Middlesborough on October 18th to be
inspected by the steel and iron men of En-
gland, France and Germany, who will then
be visiting here, after which it will lie
taken over the principal railroads of the
country stopping few days at each OF
the principal cities.

Where everything tsavo poetry is destitute OF rhyme,
And perennial the blooming Of the how'rs.

While you see your friends with sunstroke topplo

And your health and brains are stolen, lost. or

Ever laden with the jasmine and the rose,
Where without the ear Of melting into gelatlne, you
may
OF a summer night betako you to repose,

Bismarck's Oourtship.

Bismarck fell in love at friends we'd
ding with the young lady who aftcrward
became his wife, and presently wrote to
demand her hand in marriage:
The good people were naturally much
surprised at direct attack like this; they
were very simple folk, leading very quiet
life and they were rather frightened at the
reputation for high living which the can
didate enjoyed.
AS, however, their daughter intimatod
in direct terms that she did not look upon
the young gentleman with an unfavorablo
eye, and az there was no doubt that the
young mans parents had reputation as
good es their sons, Herr Won Puttkammer
decided not to hurry matters, either In
one direction or the other. Consequently
be wrote to young Bismarck, inviting him
to come and see them.
Every one did their best at Reinfeld to
give tho visitor suitable reception
Fraulein Won PuttkammcrR parents put
on an air Of grave solcmnity, and the
young lady stood with eyes modostly bent
upon the ground, when Bismarck, on
alighting, threw his arms around his
sweetheart's neck and embraced her Wig
orously before anybody had time to tell
him that his conduct was hardly proper
and correct. The result was, however, an
immediate bctrothal.
Prince Bismarck is very fond of telling
this tale, and he is careful always to finish
the story by this reflection: "And you
have no idea what this lady has made OF
me-"
His wife's parents also, probably had nc
idea to what high dcstinics this ominous
son -in-law would one day attain.

ANOTHER sHAKEspEAEE CRANK.
A Pamphlet on the Subject that Is At
tracing Some Attention.

Shakespeare's plays are full of learning,
and Lord Bacon was learned man. There
are Latin and French in the plays, and
Lord Bacon was linguist; SO was his
mother, and his entire family was highly
educated, while Shakespeare's daughter,
Judith, was unable to write her own name
when che WAS twenty-seven years old, and
his father and mother were in the habit
of making tremulous and laborious
cross to signify their name. Bacon was
without apparent employment from 1873,
when he was eighteen years of age, until
1893, when he published his first volume
of essays. His essays could hardly have
engaged his mind during all of that long
interval; what, then, was he up TOT Was
he not writing Shakespeare's plays?
These and number of similar argu
ments, which have been put forth from
time to time, are tolcrably familiar to the
public. They are collected and presented
in terse and interesting way in Edwin
Reeds "Brief for the Plaintiff; Bacon Va.
Shakespeare" pamphlet which has
reached q second edition Grand, McNally
l. co.,. Just what effect this brief and
other publications similar may have had
it is of course impossible to aay, but ap-
parently the great bulk of the jury of
mankind continues to be stepped in the
Impression that 1t was the man from
Stratford who wrote Shakespeare'a plays,

THE nEHR1Na SEA SETTLEMENT.
No Longer Any Seals to Fight Over.
San Francisco Examiner.)

(Ssn Francisco Examiner.)
The Behring aea question ie practically
settled
Like the famous case of Jarndyce rersuS
Jarndyce 1t has come to an end, because
the property in dispute has been abs rbed
while the claimants quarrelcd about it.
The Alaska fur seal is all but extinct
and it does not matter now whether tho
Behrirg sea is an open ocean or closed
sea. An industry that has already yielded
the United States government $9,000,O 900,
and would have yielded 100000 year
for tho next twenty years if it had been
preserved, has been destroyed by poachers
in tho short space Of five years, and no
one but a few drunken seal pirates, a
dozen schooner owners and few makers
of firearms have been benefited by its
destruction.
Five years ago the government experts
estimated that from 100000 to 100000
seals visited the Pribylov islands every
year for breeding purposes. That was
after the Alaska Commercial Company had
held q lease of the islands for fifteen years
and had taken 100000 seals annually.
Then tho seal pirates went to work in the
Behring sea, and this year the new lessecs
of the islands were only able to find 90
900 seals they could kill, and to get that
number they took such small seals that
the average weight of the skins was re-
duced from seven to five pounds.
Now the news comes from Victoria, B
c., that the pirate sealers have not been
able to kill many seals, the big schooner
Triumph only catching 500, while the
other schooners' catches ranged from 40C
to 100. AS it takes l,500 skins to mako q
scaling voyage of large schooner profit
able even at the present high price OF
illicit skins, it will be seen that the seal
pirates have spoiled their own game as
! we'll as their neighbors'.
There is still stronger evidence than
tho failure to make good catch to show
that the Alaskan rookerics Oh the Ameri-
can side have been ruined. Prof. Elliott
| whose monograph on the seal islands is
| the accepted authority on that subject
| has just returned from St. George with
| photographs showing the deserted condi-
ton of the rookerics. Grass has grown
on the once favorite breeding places, and
seal life is shown to be SO scarce that
| rocks which once teemed with the ami
mails at the breeding season are bare and
deserted.
Now the Alaskan seals are killed off OF
scared away, and tho only source Of sup
ply left is to be found on the Russian side
The Russians do not argue about the right
to seal in their waters. They destroy the
sealers' boats and confscate their catch
| Sealskins will not he scarce this winter
but they will be the year after. The de-
mand last winter was light and all the
furriers have their stocks left on hand
Three years from now sealskins will be as
scarce and expensive as fine Russian
| sable.

Short s. Estes.

Since Messrs. Short & Estes purchased
the stock and good will of the Big Stone
Gap Furniture Company, Mr.. Shortt left
for Louisville and Cincinnati where he
will purchase additions to their stock.
Approaching the growing needs of Big
Stone Gap, they propose to keep every
variety of furniture, from the humblest
chamber and parlor sets to rich and costly
suits for the fine residences that are to be
built here and in the neighboring towns.
They desire to make their establishment
an emporium where all corners may have
an opportunity of selecting from full
and varied stock, and whore all conditions
of men and women may have their varied
tastes gratifed. They propose to be
without rival In Southwestern Virginia
and expect to meet the wants of large
district, including a portion Of Eastern
Kentucky, and Tennessee as we'll as South
western Virginia.

animals come forth, dashing for liberty,
with great ferocity; first the elephant,
loudly trumpeting, closely followed by q
tumbling, writhing, snarling mass of
lions, hyenas, jackals, balloons and other
kinds of brutes. Nelson sprang for Il
post that supports an awning around
Glovers athletic bar and climbed into
safety, while his horses dashed madly down
the Dutoitsfrau road, snorting with fear
closely pursued by two lions and four
wolves. The remainder of the wild ami
mails distributed themselves in every di
rection. little child of James Grindley,
happening to be in a rear room opening
on garden, was bounced upon by Il chez
tab, and dragged into the open air where
it's agonized mother saw it torn to pieces
and devoured, and she powerless to pre-
vent it. Other and equally narrowing
incidents are reported, among which is
the killing of FIVE women, who were fear
fully mangled.
When the mails left, there were at large
four lions, two lionesses, two tigers, three
bears, two wolves, one hycna, two chcc-
tabs, one elephant, one camel and seven
teen balloons. The police were organizing
into hunting parties, and the town was in
condition of panic and siege.

REAL CHAPTER OF HORRORS.
london Dispatch.)

london Dispatch.)
Mail adyices from Kimberly, South
Africa, tell of an awful occurrence there.
Some person, evidently bearing ill-feeling
toward the proprietor of Fills menagerie,
opened the doors of the cages confirming
the wild animals and set them all free.
The most terrible scenes followed. Four
attendants sleeping on the premises were
mangled beyond recognition, being ac-
tually torn limb from limb, bitten and
gashed in the most sickcning manner,
while the entire population within a
radius of mile WAS aroused by the roar
ing of the lions, the trampling of the
elephants, the growls and shrieks of the
leopards, chcetahs, jackals, and the
screams of the frightened horses. Four
enormous male lions, Pasha, Abdul, Ca
liph and Mustapha, sprang from their
cages and made for the stables, where
Pasha leaped upon the back of Murat, the
great jumping stallion, and buried his
teeth in the animals neck. The screams
of the horse aroused the attendants, n
Scotchman named Patterson and three
Kaffir boys, who, armed with stable forks,
rushed to the relief of Murat.
From the dying words of one Kaffir, who
was the only one able to speak when aid
came, it was learned that they rushed to
unspeakable fortunes and met fearful
death. He and his mates endeayored to
beat Pasha back, when they were attacked
in the rear by the three other lions and
one cheetah. They were thrown to the
ground, their arms and legs bitten and
dragged off, their bodies mangled and
torn, their bones smashed into bits and,
with the exception of the single Kaffir,
their heads crunched into pulp. This
man, who lived just long enough to tell
the story, was without either arms and his
body was mass of liberation.
Having tasted blood, the lions, cheetahs,
wolves and leopards regained all their
natural ferocity, and sprang at everything
that came in their way. Four performing
Hungarian horses, of which the equine
beauty, Black Bess, was one Of the num-
Der, were killed almost instantly, and e
number of ponies we're deyoured. An
enormous elephant, known as Blood, burst
through the heavy iron gate in his fright
and rushed into Curry street, followed By
nearly every animal that was in the me-
nagerie.
A cabman named Nelson was sitting on
his carriage before the building, appalled,
by the uproar within, but not supposing
the beasts could escape beyond the walls.
Suddenly, as be describes it, he saw the
