Mr.. Northrop was asked what was claimed
for this wonderful remedy, and replied that
he understood that the proprietors claim it
to be blood builder and nerve restorer;
supplying in condensed form all the ele-
ments necessary to enrich the blood, restore
shattered nerves and drive out disease. 1t
is claimed by the proprietors that Pink Pills
will cure paralysis, rheumatism, sciatica,
palpitation of the heart, headache, and all
diseases peculiar to females, loss of appetite,
dizziness, sleeplessness, loss OF memory, and
all diseases arising from overwork, mental
worry, loss of vital force etc.
II want to say" said Mr.. NOrthrop, 'that
don't have much faith in patent medicines,
but cannot say too much in favor or Dr.
Williams Pink Pills. The proprietors, how
ever, claim that they are not patent med ea
icine in the sense in which that term is used,
but highly scientific preparation, the re-
suit of years of careful study and experi-
ment on the part of the proprietors, and the
pills were successfully used in private
practice for years before being placed
for general sale. Mr.. Nortnrop
ample that there is nothing to equal these

Mutineers Discovered A mong the Tennes-
see soldiers Located at Coal Creek.
Coal CREEK, Tenn, April IA 14.-Mutiny
is the latest thing in the camps of the
army of Tennessee stationed on the
mountain overlooking the convict stock
ade and works of the Knoxville Iron
company at this place. Twelve privates
have been holding little secret meet
ings, and they formed a clique called
"The Dirty Dozen" with documents
drawn up swearing allegiance to one
another in an attempt to overpower the
guards on last Saturday night and hang
two of the non-commissioned officers,
who, it seems, had won the dislike of
these rebels.
One of the men weakened and gave
the whole thing away to the officers,
and now eleven of the twelve are in
chains, under heavy guard, awaiting
court-martial. The principal leader Of
the mutineers is Alley Moore, an ex-
convict, who had just been pardoned by
the governor for desertion from the
same camp and army. Every day adds
a few to the number of soldiers sta
toned here, but the miners, from all ap-
pearances, have given up all idea of try
ing to remove them.

Death of Major Felix Nor.hinsson.

Major Felix Northington, man of
distinguished character, died at his
residence near Port Royal yesterday
afternoon, after long illness.
Major Northington was past nine.
ty years of age. He came to this
country with his father from North
Carolina when quite small boy,
and has been identified with every
public interest for nearly century.
He was man of strong intellect,
student of history and the politics of
the country and was well informed
on all questions. He was WOOL
dyed, Jacksonian Democrat, always
boiling over with patriotism,
and he was All entertaining
and instructive public speaker, ready
on all occasions when called upon,
and that was often, to give reason
for the faith that was in him, but
would never accept public Office of
any kind, though Democratic nomi-
nations were at his command, and
many times was he entreated to rep
resent the county in the Legislature.
He Invariably refused. In easy cir
cumstances, he preferred the enjoy
ment OF home and neighboring
friends tn political honors. He ex-
ercised wide influence and was gen.
erous and hospitable and tender in
his nature. He had been confined to
his home for a number of years, from
decrepltude and old age, but ie.
tanned his vigorous intellect and fine
social qualities up to his death.

When the ScOurge of Yellow
Fever Was at Its Worst,
Described by a Man Who Fell a
Victim Himself.

In Population of but About 5000 the
Daily Death Rate Reaches as High as
$50 to 20O-Young Howard AppIeton's
Love for Adventure and the Sea Leads
to His Death.
NEW YORK, April 14.-Mrs. Laura V.
Appleton's eldest son, Howard f. Apple
ton, has died of yellow fever, and been
buried at sea off the coast of Brazil.
Mrs. Appleton is a daughter of old
John Anderson, the tobacconist, who
died leaving fortune of $9,000,000.
She recently received $500,000 as COM
promise of a suit which she brought
against her brother, John Charles An
derson.
Young Appleton was twenty-five
years old, and it was his love for adven-
ture and the sea which led to his early
death. Howard started on his first trip
to Brazil just before Thanksgiving day
and returned in the latter part of Janu-
airy. He liked the trip so well that he
insisted upon going again. The yellow
fever had broken out at the Santos, and
his father and mother both objected to
his going back.
The letters of young Appleton gave a
vivid description of the scenes attending
the terrible scourge in Brazil. In one
letter, written at Santos on March T. he
said:
"Under no circumstances whatever
could | be induced to visit this accursed
spot again, if the good Lord spares me
to return to New York. | wish | could
describe the sights | witness here day
after day, and, also, my feeling. The
population of Santos is about 5000, and
two weeks ago the death rate was from
$50 to 200 per day. 1t is now down to
fifty day. The boatmen row around
from one ship to another removing the
dead in plain white boxes | have seen
fully hundred carried off in that way,
and always received a peculiar shock on
each occasion. One feels as though the
pit Of his stomach was falling out and
you experience a general used-up feeling
bordering on total collapse
81 saw one poor fellow thrown out in
the streets in a rain storm. He was alive
when they put him out. | don't know
whether he pulled through. AT any
rate, he was not there this morning.
They say that is a common occurrence
with people here. They are devoid of
all feeling. | am in the best possible
health and intend to take good care Of
myself"

The Old "Deestrick Skule" will be
presented at Elders Opera House to-
morrow night at 7:45 O'Clock, for ben
eft of the Masonic Widows and Or

tic>etS have been sold and the pros
poets are that there will be one of the

chord in the amusement loving
world. The years long gone by,
filled with the happy memories of
the old time schools, are brought
wildly back, and the mirth and the
merriment produced by the reversed
order of the scholars, the old grey
beard stepping back into childhood
and the young girl and boy eargerly
catching from the dim memories of
the past some of the school ways and
days of their mothers and fathers.
This picture will be truly presented
and cannot fail to entertain. Those
who have not procured tickets
should do so at once, as there will
positively be but one night.
The following programme will be
observed:

Gently family feud broke out in
