Interesting Mrs. Hope Dead.

Mrs. Hope, of Luffness, who died re-
Gently in her eighty-first year, was a
link with the long distant past, for she
was a granddaughter of the Lord Doug
las who obtained world wide fame as
the winner of the Douglas case, which
was perhaps the most extraordinary and
romantic litigation on record. Lord
Douglas, the successful claimant, had
one daughter, who was the heiress Of his
vast possessions, and she married the
younger brother of the fourth Duke of
Buccleuch, who was created Lord Mon
tagu of Boughton, and who is now only
remembered through his friendship with
Sir Walter Scott. Lord and Lady Mon
tagu had three daughters, of whom the
eldest married the late Lord Home, and
she inherited the Douglas estates.
Mrs. Hope, who was the youngest
daughter, married Mr.. George Hope, of
Lufness, some time Tory member for
Windsor, and brother of the famous
James Hope Scott. Mrs. Hope died at
Boutwell, Castle, Lanarkshire, which had
been her principal residence for many
years past, and she was buried in the Lutf-
ness vault at Aberlady, East Lothian, the
funeral being attended by the Duke of
Buccleuch and Lord Home and by nu-
merous members of their respective FAM
iies.-LOndOn Truth.

Remarkable Facts.

Heart disease is usually supposed to
be incurable, but when properly treat
ed large proportion of cases can be
cured. Thus Mrs. Elmira Hatch, of
Elkhart, Ind, and Mrs. Mary L. Baker,
of Ovid, Mich, were cured after suf-
fering 20 years. L. .. Linburger, of
San Jose, H., says that DR.. Miles New
Heart Cure, which cured the former,
worked wonderful wonders for his

years, says two bottles made him feel

A National Event.

The holding of the Worlds Fair in
city scarcely fifty years old will be a
remarkable event, but whether it will
really benefit this nation as much as
the discovery of the Restorative Ner-
vine by DR.. Franklin Miles is doubt
full. This is just what the American
people need to cure their excessive
nervousness, dyspepsia, headache, dir
illness, sleeplessness, neuralgia, ner-

Abandoned Farms in Massachusetts,


Within the borders Of the old Bay
State are more than 800 abandoned
farms. A list of many of these for
saken homesteads is accessible at the
headquarters Of the state board of agri-
culture, and any one who wishes a
country life and country air can have
his longing gratified for very small
outlay in cash.
Most of these abandoned farms are
found in the hill towns of the western
counties, ideally beautiful for situa-
ton, many of them, and lacking only
the touch Of the wand wealth to be-
come magnificent manors. Essex has
less than any other county, except Suf-
folk, where farms of any kind are rare,
if not precisely few and far between.
There seems to be no good reason why
such places should go to rack and
ruin, when hundreds Of city folks are
longing for a summer home at modest
price.-Boston Globe

Conscience or BeneyoIence?

In Judge Tuley's court in Chicago,
during the hearing of land case yes
terday, sat a middle aged man. After
adjourning court the judge found the
man standing before him.
"This is Judge Tuley, believe" said
the stranger. Il understand that your
wife is interested in charities. l am a
stranger in town and thought l would
call upon you for a favor I wish you
would give this to Mrs. Tuley," said the
man, pressing into the hands of the
chancellor a roll of bills.
"Who can l say it came FROM" asked
the judge.
"That is immaterial, concluded the
stranger, as he departed. The roll con-

A Tramp's Gall.
The Lancaster Herald

At about 5 p. M, Wednesday, of
last week, roughly clad, elderly look
ing man of the tramp species, accoSted
Marshall Jno. Levins at the Post Office
and solicited nights lodging claiming
that he was clean busted" The
Marshal after careful survey of the
applicant, concluded to grant his re-
quest as he looked to be in very des-
titute circumstances, and told very
pitiful and impressive story, about
having been robbed at Madison and
thrown in the river by his aSsailants
after they had released him of his
money, he also, claimed to have rel
atiyes in Prairie du Chen and said he
was on his way to them. The Mar
shall conducted him jailward, and was
about to lock him up when Sheriff
Burris appeared and probably out of
habit proceeded to search the fellow.
The first thing discovered was a roll of
democratic tickets. Seven knives, six
pocket-books, gold watch, a dozen or
more breastpins, rings and several
other small articles were brought to
light in the order mentioned. The
''busted gentleman was looking
somewhat alarmed by this time and
had about lost faith in the democrats,
but, when a small amount of money
was brought out of the depths of his
coat pocket the crisis came, he was a
democrat no longer and demanded his
property which when given him; he
slowed it away in an old sack which
was slung across his shoulders, and
disappeared a und the corner of the
jail, shaking his head in slow
thoughtful manner, undoubtedly no
longer in sympathy with democrats,
and particularly out of humor with
Grant county's democratic sheriff.

Luckily for Mr.. Murphy the floor

fortunately lit on his feet, otherwise
his legs would have been broken; as
it was he was quite badly hurt, but is
recovering rapidly at the home of his

OHIO DRIFTING.
Republicans Claim Gains All Over
the State.

the State.
? CLEVELAND, April 4.-The election
fhere today was for director of educa-
ltion, seven members of the school coun-
ell, two justices of the peace, and ten
members of the city council. At mid
night, with but 25 of the 130 precincts
!: to hear from. the Republican plurality
has reached ]. 100, and it will probably
go higher than that. This is big Re-
publican gain over last fall. when Nc
Kinley lost the city. but loss from last
spring. when the Republicans had
nearly 1000 plurality. The election to-
day vas very quiet, not more than rs
per cent of the vote being polled.
Returns from other Northern Ohio
towns show some Republican gains. At
most places party lines were forgotten
i'm the contest over local issues. At
Akron and Findlay the Republicans
elect the mayor and majority Of the
council and board of education.
COLUMBUS, o., Aptil 4.-The head of
the Republican ticket had the support
of the Democratic organization in the
municipal election today, and received
q majority of about 2,700. The balance
of the Republican ticket was elected by
the usual majorties, 400 to 600. There
were Republican gains in the city coun-
ell and school board. The sacrifice of
the head of the Democratic ticket is at
tributed to pending legislation for Col
Iumbus, which it is sought to defeat by
electing Republican and making the
board of affairs bipartisan in makeup.
Reports from surrounding towns indi-
cate Republican gains.
s DAYTON, O., April 4.-Republicans
elect mayor, judge of police court and
water works trustee; have two-thirds
majority in the city council and nine
out of fourteen members OF the school
board. Democrats re-elect clerk of po-
lice, wood measurer and infrmary in

BUFFALO, MIMI, April 4.-The Re-
publicans of this county are laboring
under difficulties, as it were, and, al
though it may be early for prediction,
still it looks as though the situation they
are placed in will cause them hard.
uphill fight this coming fall. 1t is gen
orally conceded by both parties that the
Repu blicans have majority in this
county from 600 to 500, still in the face
of that, owing toa split in the party,
nearly the whole of the Democratic
ticket was elected at the last election,
while the state Republican ticket was
only about forty-five votes in the lead.
Now many of the Republican leaders
are trying to have the present chairman
resign. and should he not deem it
prudent to do so, he will be most
likely voted out at the first convention.
which will be held here on April 27.
Should they do so, the party will most
likely lose many votes, and if they
don't, they will lose large number OF
votes, so, ''they will be blowed if they
do, and blowed if they don't" That is
Just how the Republican party stands
in Wright county at this time, and id
will be perpleXing question for them
to solve ere the polls close next Novenl-
Der and will lose many votes for the
party.
