81 have had two strokes of paralysis, the
first about four years ago, the second in
January, 1891. My left side was COM
pletely paralyzed, face drawn, arm and leg
immovsole.
On account Of my advanced age Of IS
years, and this being my second attack, my
physician pronounced my case hopeless.
81 was hnally induced to try DR.. Greene's
Nergura blood and nerve remedy and soon
began to improve, the muscles Of the face
Strengthened, then my arms began to gain,
and began to walk after having used
three bottles of this remedy.
''My arm l can now place to my head and
have fair use of it, and with cane have
walked as far as two miles and half.
From being helpless paralytic, having
to be dressed and cared for by others, l now
care for myself, can walk about the city
and enjoy fair health.
II would state that after beginning the
use of DR. Greene's Nervura blood and
nerve remedy l Used no other medicine.

THE SUGAR TaE uOCOANUr.

A recent letter from Honolulu says
that the sentiment for annexation hangs
very largely upon the two cent bounty
on sugar. One old planter put it this
way:
What in the devil do we want with
annexation without the bouuty?"
Sure enough, what interest have
those many hued people of many ma
tionalities, living in the Hawaiian ISL
ands, Ia the United States, except and
in SO far as It is profitable TO them? The
rich sugar planters control the voice Of
the people. They see, or think they
see, in annexation a splendid oppOrtu-
nifty to double the price of their sugar.
That is the magnet which so strongly
attracts them to the United States. If
the sugar bounty Of two cents pound
were repealed, we believe the bottom
would drop out Of the annexation
scheme in hurry.

ALL ONE SIDED
Is the Way GOmpers Says the Recent
Judicial Decisions stand.

Judicial Decisions stand.
New YORK, March 29.-Samuel Com
pers, who reached the city Yesterday
from Detroit, was asked what he had TO
say about the decisions OF judge Kicks,
OF Toledo, aud Judge Billings, Of New
Orleans, regarding the illegality Of
strikes and boycotts.
"They show" be said, that there is
an agreement among the judges, or at
least a tacit understanding to attack the
labor organizations OF the country. In
my opinion, the decision of Judge Kicks
was called forth by the reports set ahoat
last year that a general strike during
the Worlds Fair was contemplated by
railroad men. Where the report emanated
from is more than / can say, but am
positive that such a move was not con-
templated by organized labor, or any
branch of II. am rather inclined TO
the opinion that it cane from the man
ayers OF the railroads arc purpose and
that purpose we now see in the almost
simultaneous decisions Of Judges Kicks,
Taft and Billings. The plain purpose
of the judges is to prevent workmen
from quitting employment. In other
words 10 prevent strikes by law. These
decisions in no wise guarantee that the
companies may not lock out or discharge
at will, or that they will not enforce 3

TIE COST OF PROVIDING FOR THE
INBIGENT OF TRE COUNTY

TIE Committee on Poor House and
Farm OF the Board Of Commissioners
handed iu their estimate yester-
day. Their report was referred 70 the
Finance Committee. IL will be inter-
esting 10 taxpayers to note that Of the
S23, 600 in round numbers expended
for the relief OF the INDECENT
OF the county, and which by the way is
about one-ffth Of the entire revenue Of
the county, that over $4,000 OF this
total is expended upon the individual
orders OF the Commissioners. This
sum seems unusually large FOR = county
containing 10000 inhabitants, and yes
every cent of it may have been required
to relieve the essential wants Of the
worthy poor. But be that as 10 may,
the law in the case has not been CON-
piled with for several years in two inn
portant particulars. Chapter As, sec
tion % Of the Code says:
"t The said statement, and all
other proceedings Of the County Court iu
relation 10 the poor, shall be kept in a sep
arate book, TO be provided by u for that
special purpose And the amount expended
by said Court or under its directol. in

again took a nut from my fingers. Now
he did not scold at all, but was per
feetly amiable-truly a strong contrast
to his former self. He kept taking
nuts from me until almost every cor

nally rug in the middle of the floor
struck him as the best place under
which to hide them, and the manner
IN which he patted the rug down after
hiding each nut was very comical. He
finally grew tired of this fun, and,
jumping into my lap again, looked
into the bag, and, l think, concluded
1t was too much work to conceal all
the rest, for he patted the paper down
over the nuts and started on a tour
around the room. Unfortunately, l
opened the bag to take another nut out
for him, and the sharp 1.-THE fellow,
nearing the noise, ran swiftly to me,
and, seeing the paper bag open, bit my
hand. l jumped up and ran across the
studio with the bag, but he was after
me. AS quickly as l could, dropped
the bag upon the table, and then the
angry little fellow was satisfied.
After this he battered around the
room at his own sweet will, examining
chairs and tables, occasionally stop
ping to give an extra pat to the rug
under which most Of his nuts were
hidden.
On one of Jumbos excursions he
climbed up the drapery to the top of
the low bookcase, and, seeing a globe
of goldfish on it, was soon upon the
glass rim. Here he made very pretty
picture. First he put his paws into
the water and washed them, then he
washed his head; and, after enjoying
himself in this way for some time, he
took a long drink and departed. La
ter, when he visited his cage to see
that all was well, quickly closed the
door, and Jumbo's afternoon excursion
