Through the Weary Hours.

OF many a night, made double long
by its prOtracted agony, the rheumatic
sufferer tosses to and fro on his sleep
less couch. vainly praying for that rest
which only comes by fits and starts.
His maIady is one which ordinary medi-
cines too often fail to relieve. but there
is ample evidence to prove that the. Off
cient blood depurent, HOstetter's StO-
mach Bitters. affords the rheumatic re-
liable means of relief. Check the mala-
dy in its incipient stages, when the first
premonitOry twinges come on, with this
agreeable medicine, and avoid years Of
torture. Whatever be the rationale of
the active influence of the Bitters upon
this maiady, certain it is that no evil
dence relating to its effect is more direct
and positive than that which relates to
its action in cases of rheumatism. Like
all sterling remedies, however, it de-
serves prOtrarted. systematic trial, and
should not be abandoned because not at
once remedial. 1t is equally OfficaciOus
in dyspepsia, indigestion and kindred

A Modern Miracle.

The Sisters of the Visitation, st. Louis.
report miracle which was performed
in their midst last Thursday morning.
For the last five years Sister Mary Phi
iomena has suffered from what was be-
lieved to be an abscess that threatened
permanent injury to the brain. She
bled from the nOrtrils, ears and eyes.
Partial blindness resulted from these
attacks. Recently DIR. .Adolph Alt, the
attending physician, gave up all hope of
recovery unless all operation was per-
formed:
The sister was given THE right to
choose for herself. Her decision was
that before she would submit to an oper-
alton she would ask that prayers be said
to the blessed sister. Margaret Mary, in
her behalf. She did not ask for her re-
cOtery, but simply that "God's will be
made plain I'd her."
Tuesday morning Sister Baptista visi-
ted the Sick nun in her cell and offered
up d ''hovena' in private prayer. She
also gave her a relic, a piece of linen
worn by Sister Mary Margaret hundreds
of years ago and a vial Of holy water
with which to bathe her bleeding eyes.
In paroxysm Of pain ON Wednesday
night Sister Philomena swallowed the
blessed relic.
When she awoke Thursday she felt a
strange pricking above her left eye.
Lifting her hand to the spot she felt a
metallic substance. whith she grasped
and pulled out. 1t was a needle and
transhxed on its po1Stwas the linen re.
lie that the sister Ia swallowed the
night before. :.
The truth Of the marvellous miracle is
vouched for by DR.. Alt and the mother

the action of the coke companies in re-

To add fuel to their already inflamed
passions, the Socialist leaders are distrib-

which excel anything yet for downright
Socialist doctrines.

things says:

Troops Under Orders to Remain at Their
Headquarters.
PARIS, April 30.-The Anarchists con-
tinue their agitation here, despite the
vigilance of the police and numerous ar
rests. Manifestoes intended to infiame the
minds Of the troops have been assiduously
circulated by the Anarchist propaganda.
In some instances these incendiary docu-
ments have urged the troops to revolt
against what they term the "Oligarchical
Republic"
The police destroyed the posters as soon
as possible and the residences of the lead
ers Of the disconnected are subjected to
domiciliary visits.
Orders combining the mon of the garrison
of Paris to their quarters until after May
Day have been issued, and the officers of
the garrison have been instructed to re-
main with their commands during the
same period.
In case of an outbreak and hasty sum-
mons of the troops each man will be pro-
yided with one hundred rounds of ball
cartridge.

Rapidity of movement is apt to be ac-
companied by sacrifice of dignity, es-
pecially IL you happen to have vicious
dog at your heels. 1t would be stretching
a point to say that our spring suits have
any dignity because the term is not usually
applied to inanimate objects, but If they
have ne dignity of their own they at least
impart dignity to the wearer who in return
may be said to invest them with sort OF
personal animation. If there IL anything
in this life that is positively depressing,
it is the unfortunate who is condemned to
wear an unbecoming suit of clothes. He
may try to appear unconscious of the atteA-
ton he attracts, but he is victim of in
ward embarrassment, even though he
gives no outward evidence oft. You will
have no cause for embarrassment If You

stretching it particle. We can say that

VALPARAISO, April 80 President
Balmaceda, of Chilli, escaped death by as
sassination during the day as by a mira
Gle.
He and his family were seated in a1par-
lor of the Presidential mansion, when a
dynamite bomb was thrown into one of
the rooms through window. The bomb
exploded and did much damage to the
room and furnishings, but no one in the
palace was hurt.
The most intense excitement was
caused by the attempted assassination,
and the streets in the vicinity of the
palace have been crowded with excited
nultitudes since the occurrence.
There Is no clue to the perpetrator of
the outrage, but the authorities are using
every effort to establish his identity and
capture him.

If you presented a check at bank
and it was paid in dimes and nickels
you would naturally suppose that the
cash in that bank was running very
low. Well, the treasury, which when it
came into the hands of the republicans
a little more than two years ago con-
tanned a cash surplus of more than a
hundred million of dollars, is now de-
posting in national banks, subject to its
checks for current expenses, the small
silver currency that it has accumulated
during several years, and it has to pay
the banks to take it too. And even
with this it is feared that when the
quarterly payment of about $50, 900, 900
for pensions is made July 1, that the
government strong box will be entirely
empty. Secretary Foster is beginning
to realize the situation, and he has be-
come so alarmed at the falling off in the
receipts from customs duties and the
consequent lessening of the already
almost wiped out surplus, that he has de-
cided to allow the holders of the $43,-
600. 900, A. per cent bonds, principally
national banks, which will mature
September /, to have them indefinitely
extended with the interest reduced to
two per cent. But not even this and
the suspension Of payments into the
sinking fund can stave off that deficit,
which long headed democrats in con-
gress predicted more than a year ago.
