THOUSANDS POISONED.

In a recent work on heart disease,
Dr.. Franklin Miles, the noted special
ist gives many new and startling facts.
Thousands of people are slowly poison
ing themselves, weakening their hearts
by the use of tea, coffee, tobacco and
alcohol. These are Heart Whips,
causing it to beat rapidly, thus gradu-
ally wearing it out, producing short
ness Of breath when exercising, pains
in the side ard shoulder, hungry and
faint spells. Finally swelling of the
ankles and sudden death. For weak.
ness and irritated hearts the press
everyw where highly recommend the
New Heart Cure discovered by DR..
Franklin Miles, which is for sale at
T.. W. Smiths.

SILVER, LEGISLATION.

The transformation OF Senator Sher.
mana financial relief hill into = free
silver coinage bill was not exactly =
surprise to the country, for the trend
OF public sentiment and expectation.
especially At the west, has been in the
direction of such an event. Tie rela-
ton OF the Senate and House 10 sig
nally reversed, the Senate heretofore
only reaching radical changes
after long and cautious delibera-
tton. But, on this question the
House seems to be the conservative
body. The last hope Of the monomet-
alists being fixed on the refusal of the
House to concur.
1t 10 evident that the question Of
free silver coinage 10 precipttating u
political crisis. The sudden yet ex-
treme fervor with which, Senator In.
gals spoke in favor of the free coinage
of American silver shows that there is
amight of popular conviction and sen.
timent in its favor which politicians Of
no party can oppose without peril.
Ex President Cleveland has felt CON-
PEELED to recede from his former atti-
tude OF opposition to free coinage so
far No to utter some delphic sentences
which seem to indicate y disturbance
of mind, In view of the situation.
At this moment the prospect of the
House concurring with the Senate is
not very bright. The opponents Of free
coinage expect veto from the Presi~
dent, should the bill pass the House.
should it come to this the Presidents
prospect OF denomination for the next
Presidential race will bs very hazy. The
parties will 6nd this issue more promi.
nent and more embarrassing than the
tariff question.

lie was tie faithful friend of Presi-

A TELL-TALE SIGN.
How He Found Out That They Were q New
Married Couple.

Married Couple.
From the New York Recorder.
Scene: A railroad train.
A man in a certain seat is deeply absorbed in
a newspaper. Although the train stops at a
station he does not look up or cast glance
through the window. But he has that queer
haif-consciousness of what is going on about
him that people sometimes have in the midst
OF the most serious reading. He was half-coa-
scious OF great shout and much laughter out
side on the platform The laughter was largely
feminine. and the melodious din was punctuated
by a series OF slight reports that a person who
gave full instead of half OF his attention might
have recognized as kisses. Then the man dimly
felt rather than saw the seat in front of him re-
ceive two occupants, and recalled afterward an
impression OF the two occupants having shouted
and laughed agood deal through their window
Then the train started. As it moved away
the man with the newspaper finished the inter
esting thing he was reading and looked IN re-
flectively. He saw in front of him young man
and a young woman, still without associating
anything with them. He was thinking of what
he had read.
The young man wore q light derby hat He
pushed it on the back OF his head to mon his
heated forehead. As he did SO there was a little
patter on the newspaper that lay in the lap of
the man who was Illuminating. The man who
was Illuminating looked down and saw that this
patter had been caused by some tiny grains Of
rice. Tho discovery broke the chain of his
reverie. He looked mp again with highly in
terested expression. He saw the Young man
half turn his head as if he had heard the patter
on the paper. The girl was very pretty. She
exchanged glance with the young man that
made the middle-aged observer have a warm
feeling under the left-hand upper side Of his
vest front Then she leaned over and whispered
to the young man:
