Judicious Advertising.

TO the Editor Of The Sunday Herald:
desire to express the satisfaction [ feel
over the result Of adver ising in your column
last sunday. My Office has been filed with
inquiries and purchasers from early Monday
morning to this evening. An average of 50
doubt that 400 lots in West End, Port ~
Rockville, will be disposed by week from to-
day, The SUNDAY HERALD is evidently the
paper to advertise in. HENRY N, C9pp

may thus be said to have gained triumph.
1t was the attempt of President Balmaceda
to exercise an authority not warranted by the
constitution or the laws that precipitsted the
civil war. The Congressional party consti-
tuted themselves the guardians of popular
rights and made the issues OF the fight
thoroughly ineligible. 1t became a ques-
ion Of submitting to one mans dictatorship
or of government for the people by its rep
resentatives. 1t needed no large measure of
intelligence to decide upon a question so
clearly defined.
Nevertheless the collapse of the usurper's
party was altogether more sudden than had
been anticipated. He had control of the army,
of the treasury, and OF all the official positions
of the nation. His opponents were limited to
private means and public sympathy. A hun
dred instances in the history of the world
show that these are poor materials in war
fare with established power combined with
resolute purpose. Balmaceds had the purpose
and the power, but this time right prevailed,
thecause of the people triumphed, and tyranny
sustained downfall which is somewhat in
the nature Of q surprise.
= SIS
In all this the attitude OF the American
Government has not been of a nature to in
spire popular pride. With q suspicious re-
semblance to the State Departments policy
ten years ago the Government of the United
States favored the Balmacedan party through
out and ignored the party of popular liberty.
The country which OF all the countries in the
world should have assisted in the maintenance
of republican government had no word of
encouragement to Chiians in their struggle
for the right of self-rule. The inconsistency
in this case is likely to be remembered.
The Itata incident clearly reveals the animus
and object of our Government in this matter.
The Grace interest was to be antagonized and
the Flint interest promoted. The interest of
these millionaire commercial spectators was
the only thing in the contest which won the
recognition of the Government Of the United
States. Most scandalous of all has been the
conduct of Minister Egan, who through con-
tracts with his son has got all the Doodle
which his position made available, and either
misinformed his government as to the relative
position of parties or maintained absolute
silence in regard to important facts of current
history which 1t was his duty to be the first TO
disclose. The demand for this mans recall
and dismissal Is as just as it is unanimous

Mr.. springer's claim is that he is too lively a

THAT is a curious story which tells that AN
agent OF the great gambling interest at Monte
Carlo has been for several days In Chicago
comforting with the directors of the Worlds
Fair On a proposition to establish there dur
ing the Exposition fac-simile Of the famous
Monaco gambling house. The agent is said
TO offer to buy for cash 81 100000 of Worlds
Fair bonds, to erect building that would
cost 81 100000, and to turn one third of the
gross receipts from the tables into the Worlds
Fair treasury. 1t is true that the principal in
dustry OF the Prince of Monaco's dominons is
that which would be represented in the way
proposed 1t is true, likewise, that European
visitors would find in such an exhibit an insti-
tuition with which they are more or less famil-
lar, and that some of our own people might
look with interest at proceedings of which
they have read and heard much. But this in
dustry-especially the public exhibition of
it's not favored by the general sentiment Of
the people OF this country. In fact, it is
mainly under the ban Of the law-ciVic, State,
and Federal, not to add moral-and it is diff
cult to see how the Exposition directors can
accept the tempting ofier

the anti-Semitic party went so far as to
demand an investigation Of this charge OF
perjury.

/ months ago and came to the notice OF the
/ young emperor, leading him 10 order imme-

charges OF perjury. The result of the
Inquiry, according TO an official notice pub
lished recently in a Berlin daily. SAYS: 'The
renewed Official Investigation Of the facts
has revealed no reason for beginning a
criminal proceeding against Herr von
Bleichroder." Hardly was the ink Of this
paragraph dry before Ahlwardt had out his
pamphlet containing these words: The
high committee Of investigation naturally
saw few or none OF the documents in the
case, for these were demanded years ago
from the court by a very mighty parsonage,
and were either returned defaced or not at
all"
Ahlwardt then proceeds to maintain that
he has in his possession original documents
which "centain all" After celebrating
and explaining and fortifying this claim,
Ahlwardt continues his narrative to discuss
more recent events in the Bleichroder-C ro-
ner affair. Through the English embassy

represented by his friend, Dr. Weber. The
contract was signed on July % last, ALL
wardt states, and bound Baron Bleichroder
to pay the woman $4,000 down and $500
annually from Jan. l next. An alleged fac
simile Of the contract is shown in ALL
wardt's pamphlet. According to q para
graph in this fac-simile Baron Bleichroder
paid Frau Croner in 1884 alone $14, 900 hush

Baron Bleichroder says that Ahlwardt Ii

FELT SHE COULD ARISE AND WALK
Sudden Recovery Of Woman Long
Helpless From Paralysis.

Sudden Recovery Of a Woman Long
Helpless From Paralysis.
Ten years ago Miss Nellie Bennett, a
daughter of Barnardus Bennett of jamaica
became affected with spinal trouble,
which finally deprived her of the use of her
legs, so that she could not walk without the
aid of crutches At times she was confined
to her bed. Three weeks ago she visited a
friend, Mrs. Montfort, in India street,
Greenpoint. One evening while there she
had her lap full of pictures and photographs
which she was examining.
While she was doing this she surprised
Mrs. Montforu by calling out to her to come
and take away the pictures as she was 60
ing TO get up. Her action aud tone alarmed
Mrs. Montfort, who said:
"Wait until I get your crutches
81 don't want my crutches," replied Miss
Bennett. 81 feel that can walk without
them"
Miss Bennett is about 40 years old and
quite stout The answer startled Mrs. Mont
fort, but she was more amazed when Miss
Bennett arose from her chair and started to
walk across the floor. At first her step was
wavering and undecided, but 1t became
firm before she walked across the room.
Mrs. Montfort wanted to help her, but she
needed no help. She was so elated over her
recovery that her friends had difficulty in
restraining her from exhausting herself.
The following Wednesday she returned to
her home 10 Jamaica. Her mother caught
sight of her entering the house without the
aid of crutches. and, it is said, she actually
tainted Then her sister, Mrs. Siney. saw
her, and she, too, it is declared, tainted.
When Miss Bennett appeared in the streets
of Jamaica without the aid OF her crutches
she was greeted with astonishment by her
frieRds. Her recovery appears to be per-
manent.
DIR. P. NJ. Wood of Jamaica, who has at
tended her for more than twelve years. said
her sudden restoration was remarkable. He
said she was afflicted with paralysis of the
spine, and that palsy of the lower half of
the body had fully developed. She had not
received any treatment for her malady for
three years.
In describing her recovery Miss Bennett
says only that she suddenly felt life rush
through her limbs. She felt she could walk,
and on the impulse she stood up.

looked up and saw three, what would you

The doctor said that that was the recog-
nized formula for most cases of complex
vision. The trouble was all occasioned by
Hilda, Lolita and Anna Gustafsen, trio of
pretty blondes, who were landed at the
barge Office to-day from the steerage of the
Britannia. They made their advent into the
world as Uriplets eighteen years ago, and
have been a source of perplexity ever since.
They are so much alike that it is said their
own mother cannot tell which is which, and,
as might have been expected, there was
trouble in the barge office when the officials
began to see what was apparently the same
girl in different parts of the building at the
same time.
Inc trouble with the registry clerk came
about in this way: While he was taking
the names and ages Of the immigrants who
were passing in single file through the mar
row aisle before his desk, he looked up
and saw pretty young woman who gave
her age as is and her name as Gustaf-
sen. BE made record of the i'm
portant fact, and when he glanced up
again apparently the same figure was
there. He looked troubled when the
blue-eyed apparition said that it was her
first appearance, and when she gave her
name as Gustafsen, aged IS, he dispatched
messenger for blank temperance pledge
He then rubbed his eyes and looked up into
the face of q third vision, which calmly as
sured him that her name was Gustafsen and
that she was Is years old.

dressed woman got eff the early morning

inquiries as to the whereabouts of boy
named Willie La Duke. She found the lad
at the school house. and after almost smoth-

was MS mother and that she had not seen
him for nine years.
The boy was excused from school and
spent the day with the strange lady, who
proved to be the divorced wife of A. T. La
Duke, well-known travelling salesman,
who repretents the Connersville Buggy
Company. La Duke refused to give up the
boy and the woman went away. Last
night she came back. La Duke was gone
west on business trip, but his second wife
met the divorced woman at the hotel and
the two became good friends. The boy had
been removed to Anderson. where wife No.

with the consent of her successor. The
