FOR THOSE WHO ARE AFFLICTED WITH
SCROFULA.
DIR. r. NJ. Bagby, Il well-known physi-
clan of Louisa county, Va, Bumpass
post office, reports two severe cases of
scrOfula.
First Case-A lady with hereditary
scrofua, afflicted twenty years, discharg-
ing purulent matter, during these TWEEN
ty years through three fistulOus sores
from the hipjoint until about six inches
of the thigh-bone had been destroyed by
liberation. In June last she commenced
the use of A.B.C. Alternative. Her health
rapidly improved. One of the fistulous
sores ceased to discharge matter and
healed readily. During the three months
following, another sore ceased to dis
charge and healed as the first one The
last one has abated half it's former dis
charge. DR.. Bagby says he has good
ground to hope for her perfect recovery
by persistent use of the remedy. The
limb will be shortened about six inches
by destruction of bone before the rene
dy was used.
Second Case-A young lady of the
same family with hereditary scrofula and
enlargement, with liberation of parotid
glands, and many sores on various parts
of the body, commenced using Abe
Alternative three months ago. All the
sores and engagements have disappear
ed, and the DR.. writes his opinion that
her perfect recovery is only a question

REED LOOKING AHEAD
He Hopes to Be Candidate for
President if Alive in
1895.
Meantime He Has the Job Of
Overcoming Blaine and
Hostile Senator'S.
Why His Intimate Friends In
sist There Is Method in
His Madness.
The Republican Party Said to
Be Anxious to Turn to the
Maine Man.

WASHINGTON, June 26.-Thomas B.
Reed, of Maine, aspires to the leader
ship of the Republican party, says the
Washington correspondent of the New
York World. He is man of brains, of
nerve, of aggressive executive force.
His fifteen years in congress have been
of great value to him. He IS not seek
ing, however to climb by rote or by the
application of old rules or practices, but
by the methods and agencies of his own
deyising. If he is training by any
model it is not yet apparent. He seems
rather to be setting old things and other
men aside, and to have path in view
which, if it fail 10 lead him to the goal
he seeks, will at least insure him
lively and famous journey.
The daring character of Mr.. Reeds
ambition is seen in the fact that he in
vites at the very outset comparison
between himself and the most brilliant
man in his party. And he does this,
not by carrying forward that brilliant
mans work, but by discrediting it at
every turn, and by even forcing meas
ures in order to do so. Mr.. Blaine as
Speaker respected in every way the
rights of the minority. Mr.. Reed as
speaker puts the minority under COM
plete repression. Mr.. Blaine, as
speaker, refused to counsel or to assist
the passage of the Force bill through
the house, tor the reason that the meas
ure was distinctly aimed at effecting
the Africanizing of the South. Mr..
Reed, as speaker. has just championed
In caucus, and is now arranging to put
through the house, an election bill
which the representative South views
with as much dread and adherence as it
ever did the force bill. Mr.. Blaine, as
speaker, managed to secure and retain
the personal goodwill of the most COM
bative of his political foes, while mir.
Reed in his first six months in Office has
raised up score of enemies that years
will not change. And so it goes. What
the one man in the Speakership did the
other is at pains, not only not to do,
but to 60 as far counter to as it is posi-
BILE.
1t is no secret, of course, that the two
men are not friends. The precise nature
of the quarrel that took place between
them is not known. 1t related, how
ever, to official patronage, and to the re-
fusaI of Mr.. Reed to acknowledge with
sufficient humility the Blaine supre-
macy IN Maine. 1t was inevitable. The
two men are absolutely unlike, and
naturally antagonistic. But there are
reasons for believing that no mere per-
sonal pique is influencing Mr.. Reed in
his present course, but thoroughly dis
passionate survey of the field from his
point of view. Mr.. Blaine aimed at the
presidency from the speakership and
missed it. Mr.. Reed thinks he sees
why, and now that he is shooting at the
same mark from the same stand he
thinks it wise to try different rest.
The Reed view of the case is not
ltated by Mr.. Reed himself. but by

hand, while a good partisan and
plucky man, is neither fluent Of speech
nor shrewd of device. He. hammers
away, however, in an earnest fashion,
and is a good slayer. Apparently he
questions nothing that the speaker pro-
poses.
With the aid of these two men Mr..
Reed has reached the point of complete
control in the house. He silences oppo-
sition in caucus and whips recalcitrantS
in in open debate. 1t is his boast now,
that the least possible time is given to
debate. He characterizes set speeches
as ''emptyings," and has said that if he
could prevent it no set speech except
that of some chairman of commit
tee presenting bill and explain
ing it should ever be made in the house.
He is likewise opposed to all amend
majority. The appeal of the minority
in his opinion, is to the people. and the
place for making it the stump. He
only wants to hear from the minority
while in the house on an aye and no
vote,
Mr.. Reed, like all men of his class
and temperament, is riding to hard.
He would appear, indeed, to be riding
for fall. He has already gone beyond
the precincts of the house in his aim at
domination. He talks at public dinners
about new blood and new policies for
the party, feeling himself able, of
course, to supply both, and he appears
in the reviews over his own signature
as the advocate of measure for the in
auguration of new campaign. The
senate is FESTIVE under this, and there
are men in the senate whose friendship
he should be cultivating, Some of the
strongest of the Republicans there are
in favor of national elections law, but
they will not take it as something that
Mr. Reed prescribeS for the&party and
insists upon.
Mr.. Blaine's feelings are not difficult
of conjecture. The old leader might be
brought to surrender to some new
leader, but never to Mr.. Reed. Mr..
Blaine has observed the contempt with
which his counsels and precedents have
been brushed aside, and when the time
comes for settlement Of accounts he is
likely to be ready.
But the Reed men by holding their
favOrite back until 1896 will endeavOr to
get the benefit of time and circum-
stance. They reason in more cOnserv-
alive way than their hero does, who. if
left to himself, would not be incapable
OF entering Tor the stake next tilne.
They are conceding that if Mr.. Blaine
proclaims it Harrison will likely be re-
nomina ted. If Harrison by accident
should then be reelected Mr.. Blaine
will continue in the state department.
and in eight years in that circumscribed
place lose his touch with the people
and his hold ON the party machine and
be powerless to inf1ict any injury on
Reed If on the other hand Harrison
should be defeated at the polls, the
Reed men will claim that it was because
of his colorlessness and lack of force,
and with all the greater assurance press
their man upon the party in 1896.
This programme, of course, presup-
| poses that Mr.. Reed will remain in con-
gress, and whether as the leader of the
majority or minority continue the tao
tics of assertion and aggressiveness
that have brought him so conspicuously
| to the front.

Phil Armour's Sunday Charities
Chicago Tribune.
z An enthusiastic admirer of Phil Ar
mour was entertaining some listeners
on Northwestern train the other day.
Here Is one Of the things ne said:
"Mr. Armour always puts 500 in one
pocket when he leaves his Office Satur-
day afternoon. The money Is usually
spent for some good cause on Sunday.
Mr.. Armour knows he will have some
demand made on him before Monday,
and this 500 is call money.
On one occasion Mr.. Armour hap
pened to drop into church which he is
not accustomed to attending. He occu-
pied pew in the rear. One Of the Off
GERS of the church who knew him sent a
note to the pastor to the effect that, al
though the day was not the regular one
for soliciting money, he, the officer, had
special reasons for suggesting that the
pastor make an appeal in behalf of a
certain mission. The minister complied
with the request. Mr.. Armour smiled.
He saw through it, although the minis
ter was innocent. The plate was passed
and Mr.. Armour gave nothing. AS
soon as the sermon was over Mr.. Ar
mour hunted up the officer of the church
who had made the request and who had
given Mr.. Armour his own pew and
said:
"'Here, give that preacher of yours
outstanding out three fves and SIX
ones. And then Mr.. Armour added:
Isl thought this was one church that
didn't need anything.'"

This Immense Sum to Be Paid Life
Insurance Policy Holders in
Death and Endowment Claims
During the Next Half Century.
There are things difficult, nay, almost
impossible, for the finite mind to grasp.
The idea of a universe, that is to say,
innumerable worlds, and eternity or
time without end, are among these.
Next in order, as almost battling at least
the average comprehension, are great
aggregations of figures, such, for in
stance, as the population Of the earth,
the distance of the planets from each
other, OF the combined assets of the
great life insurance companies. All
these, to be sure, are we'll enough I'M
derstood by trained minds, OF to those
to whom the meaning and value
of immense numbers are nat
tural: but to the multitude,
even those of gen eral culture, they
almost lose their Importance in their
magnitude. There are many people,
clear-headed in most dire ctions too, to
whom the term millions and hundreds
of millions seem good deal alike,
though they might not be at all slow to
decide If asked which they would rather
own in good, sound. well-invested dol
lars.
Take the life insurance assets of the
country, for example, and the knowl-
edge that they now reach to nearly
three quarters of billion dollars. how
difficult it is to understand the amount,
or what it can do! Think of seven
hundred and fifty men each worth mill
ion dollars, or of one man receiving an
annual income of S10,000.000 year for
a long lifetime. say Is years, and we
may arrive at clearer ideas of the vast
sum. Yet this is the amount policy
holders now actually have well invested
in their companies, guaranteeing the
astounding sum of over 5000, 900, 600 in
surance, which is all to be paid TO them
selves or their families. These three
billions of dollars will be returned in
cash to the policy holders and their des-
ignated benefciaries during the next
half century.
Where will the companies be then?
Oh, they will be going right along TAX
ing care Of the sums-tOO big to think
about now-of the new insurants who
have Joined in the meantime, and with
few billions of dollars in assets, and
may be an odd trillion or so of insur-
ance in force. will be looking back at
these crude but good old days of ours
with perhaps sense of wonderment at
the rather small scale on which their
life-insuring fOrefathers did business.
