is the largest unexplored area on this
continent. Up the Grand river, which
empties into the Atlantic ocean at Ham
Iton tAlet, are the Grand falls, which,

A Soldiers Awful Death CIV,

After a man is shot in battle. be-
tween the blow and the sequence,
whether death or prolonged suffering,
what are his symptoms, what his con-
scious feelings and emotionsf
A remarkable instance may be
found in the case of Captain Nolan of
BalakIava. Nolan assumed guide
the Light Brigade in the charge, and
with frantic exclamations and gesture
with his uplifted sword he rode to the
right oblique in order to draw the Six
Hundred out Of the Valley of Death,
which lay directly IN their course,
toward the line of redoubts which
they had been ordered to attack and
where victory and not disaster doubt
less awaited them. When he was
few PAGES to the right of the leading
ranks piece of shell struck him .0n
the chest, tearing into the heart.
1.-The sword dropped from his
hand, says Kinglake, "but the arm
with which he was waving it the mo-
ment before still remained high up
lifted in the air, and the grip of the
practiced horseman remaining as vet
unrelaxed still held him firm in his
saddle. Missing the perfect hand of
his master, and finding the accustomed
goverance now succeeded by the
dangling reins, the horse all at once
wheeled about and began to gallop
back upon the front OF the advancing
brigade. Then, from what mad been
Nolan-and his form was still erect in
the saddle, his sword arm still high in
the air--there burst forth a cry so
strange and appalling that the nearer
who rode nearest him called it un-
earthly. And in truth l imagine, "
continues the historian, ".he sound
resulted from no human will, but
rather fiom those spasmodic forces
which may act upon the bodily frame
when lie as a power has ceased. The
firm seated rider. with arm uplifted
and stiff, could hardly be counted
with the living. The shrek mer
heard rending the air was scarce other
than the shrek of a corpse. Tn,
dead horseman rode on till he passed
through the interval of the Twelfth
Light Dragons. Then at last h
dropped out of the saddle
The line between Nolan living an,

For Fifty Thousand Dollars,

After twenty years Of continued
swindling, by which he has managed
to defraud firms throughout Georgia
and other States out of amounts ag>
gregating in the neighborhood of $780,
900, A. j. Dickson, of Mershon, in
Pierce county, has come to grief. He
is now on trial in the United States
court here for using the mails for
fraudulent purposes, and has fine
prospect of spending a few years in
the penitentiary. Dickson is one of
the cleverest swindlers who ever work.
ed the business public. Bis scheme
of late years was simple but effective
According to the testimony, he
would send for a small bill of goods,
and refer to a fictitious firm at Mer-
shon, where he served as postmaster.
When the letters of inquiry came, he
would answer them, giving himself a
first-class business rating. The first
bill he would pay as bait. Then
he would order large lot of goods
for which the pay never came.
Other goods would be ordered and Sc
cured for fictitious firms in the same
way.
His position as postmaster aided
him in his schemes. He was indicted
eleven times by the grand jury Of
Pierce county, but through some rea
son his cases never came to trial. lie
was removed from the postmastership p,
and an order was issued removing the
postoffice to Coffee, and Miss Kelly
was appointed postmistress. This was
last May. Dicb son did not surrender
the effects OF the office until Septem.
Der, the government officials, in the
meantime, thinking that Miss Kelly
was in charge at Coffee. In june
the office at Mershon was received
and Dickson's son, boy of sixteer
years, was appointed postmaster
Then Dickson ran both pOstoffices in
the same building, and utilized oott
of them as means o swindl;ng mer

WHITE SKIN HOLDS FAST.
Negro May Turn Caucasian, but eau
casian Negro, Never.


1t is easier TO turn a black skin
white than white one black, DIR.
John Eye, of Reading, has found in
his skin-grafting experiments, but he
does not despair yet of converting ne
eroes into white men. The doctor
was inspired with hope when, after
grating upon the leg of Joseph Saul.
young man of Reading, the skin Ia
ken from the arm of a healthy negro,
the skin, after a few days, turned
white, and he lost no time in seeing if
the reverse process would succeed.
With scientific enthusiasm he select
ed his own person for a portion of the
experiment, and some days ago en-
grated skin taken from his own and
a friends arm upon the arm
of a negro Eamed James Lewis.
Ever since he has been closely watch>
ing the result. An examingtion of
the wound yesterday showed that it
had been healed, and that the white
skin had become firmly knit and as
similathd with the black skin, but its
color remained as white as the day it
was transplanted with the exception
of a very slight oiscoloration about the
edges where it joined the black skin.
Though somewhat disappointed at
the result, Or. Eye does not despair
of the skin eventually turning blak,
and is hopeful that time will accom-
plish this. He is determined to pur-
sue his experiments still further and
to establish, if possible, beyond a
doubt that white skin transplanted to
the body OF a negro will or will not
turn black. If he can find a subject
to operate upon he propose to cut the
nerves of feeling and of motion on the
arm upon which the white skin is to
be grated, and TO take out the adj
pose tissue. This will show whether
the nerves have any bearing on the
eoloring of the skin.-Philadelphia
Record.

A SUCCESS.
KINGS ROYAL GERMETUER

Is established as a remarkable success.
Thousands OF testimonials attest its
virtues. Many of these are given by
men and women of highest standing
in the most hon0red walks of life.
In the midst of a fOurishing and rap
idly increasing business the price is
reduced from $3.50 to S1.00 per bot
tie. This is done in the interest OF
those whose circumstances in lite de-
ter them from paying the higher
price. The rich who have tried it
will buy at any price, but the man.
ayers feel that medicine which pos
sesses such wonderful powers should
be placed within the reach of the
poor. Many have said that "Germe-
teur' was the cheapest medicine on
the market. When it is remembered
that bottle of concentrated Germe-
tuer makes a gallon of medicine
ready for use, it is certainly cheaper
than ordinary medicines as to bulk !;
and when the powers Of the medicine
are taken into account the price is in
considerable. The present price is
the result of the unparalleled success
of the remedy and the business.
Germetuer is the coming success
that has already come. Ask your
druggist for it. and if he cannot tur>
nish you send direct to Kings Royal
Germetuer Company, IA North Broad
Street, Atlanta, Ga, and they will
supply you, charges prepaid, by mail
or express.

rae LONG TALKED OF COMBINE

or the Table Ware Glass Factories Said TO
Have Been Formed by Nineteen OF Them
at Last.
A combination Of glass manufacturers
who work table ware is said to be the
latest. Three States are said to be in the
deal, West Virginia, Ohio and Pennsyl-
yania, and the number Of factories inte-
rested is nineteen. The scheme will
greatly benefit the manufacturers.
The combine which has been under
way for some time has Just been per.
iected. The plan OF operation, as
near as can be learned, is as follows:
When business is dull at factory and
it has not sufficient orders TO keep the
works running it will close down and
send its moulds to one Of the other fac.
tories in the combine, which will make
the ware needed, thereby saving the
factory having a dull period the ex.
pense OF operating the entire plant. A
committee appointed for the purpose
will assess the factories at a certain
value and the profits will be divided
among the nineteen in proportion to
the value Of the plants. No outside
capital will be IN the deal, and the work.
ings will be similar to cooperative en-
teFprise, only on q much larger scale.
By this arrangement the nineteen big
factories expect TO get uniform prices,
avoid cutting, make fewer new moulds
than they have been doing, and in short
clear more money than by running ain
gle handed.
The management Of the nineteen
glass factories In the combine will con-
tiuue to manage their respective works
and an Executive Board will meet reg
ularly and look after the interests OF all
concerned. set .l
OF the nineteen glass factories in the
deal fifteen are said to be in Wheeling,
Wellsburg, Rochester, Plttsburgh,
Greensburg, Toledo, Fostoria, Findlay
and Tiflin, aud the firms the Hobbs
Glass Company, Riverside, Rochester
Tumbler company, Adams 4 Co., Rip
ley & %, Brics Bros 4 Higbee, Brice
Bros & Co., Duncan 4 Co., King, Son q
Co., Gresnsburg Glass Company, Lib
hey Glass Company, Fostoria Glass
Company, Nickel Plate Glass Company,
Bellaire Goblet Company, Columbia
Glass Company and Beatty Bros.
The Hobbs Glass Company is said to
be the only Wheeling factory in the
combine, and none Of the Martins
Ferry, Bridgeport or Ballaire firms
are in,

At various times would.be competitors
have tried to mislead the public by as
sorting that we could not possibly sell
