Above EN- All!
First Adopted by the
Doctors!
Then Endorsed by
the Public.
Paine'S Celery Makes
People Well!
You Read 1t in Their
Happy Faces.
The Medical Journals Tell No
More Speedy Cures.
Wisdom of Years Shows
Its Worth in May.
Greatest Remedy Of The Times
Within Reach Of All.

Spring is the time when the blood and
general system are most susceptible to inn
provement.
The practice of taking spring medicine
is therefore founded on a need of the body,
long recognized and the wisdom of many
years has determined on spring as the best
time to arouse the blood to healthy action.
Paine's celery compound stands easily at
the head of all spring medicines. You hear
it on the street. you read it in the medical
journals; give it good trial and you will
go about declaring it so yourself.
Paine's celery compound is the discovery
of Edward e. Phelps, M. D., LII. D., of
Dartmouth College. 1t is no doubt the
greatest remedy of modern times. None of
all the medicines prescribed by physicians
has caused within the past years 50 much
inquiry and favorable discussion at meet
ings of medical societies and in medical
journals
Paine's celery compound is one of those
wonderful remedial agents which, originat
ing with the very highest authority, has
been at once appreciated and received by
the great mass of the people.
AS M. Bicat, the great French pathologist,
says, nearly every great medicine has be-
come a popular remedy before being
adopted or even tried by physicians. But
Paine's celery compound had the indorse-
ment of physicians at the start.
AS spring remedy 1t stands head and
shoulders above any yet prescribed. 1t is
food for the brain, and nourishment for the
blood. 1t makes people we'll 1t cures
where everything else fails.
Paine's celery compound is within the
reach of all, and the thousands of testmoni-
ais to its unrivaled virtues that have been
published,from time to time have come from
men and women in every station in life.
No remedy was ever Endorsed by so many
men prominent in public life; none ever had
the praise of so many working people.
1t makes people well.

KOSSUTH ON HOME RULE.
The Venerable Hungarian Expresses His
Views.

Views.
LOUIS KossUTH, who is ninety-one years
of age, was interviewed in London last
week in regard to his opinion OF Gladstone's
home rule scheme Answering some of
the questions propounded to him he said,
AS to Mr.. G ladstone's second scheme for
Irish home rule know very little about it or
the real principles underlying it,. | believe
however that Mr.. Gladstone will never ar
rive at his goal. The Irish question pre-
sents the same obstacles as squaring cir
Gle. 1t is perfect Utopia, this wish of Mr..
Gladstone to establish the autonomy of Ire
land without granting TO that country abso-
lutte independence, and / should not be as
tonished if Ireland should one day throw
herself into the arms of the United States in
order to gain all she wants. The distance
between the countries does not count to-day
as il counted in the past. 1t has been said
that the situation of Ireland is comparable
to that of Hungary, and some eminent Eng
lishmen have asked my opinion in regard
to that assertion. My answer is that it is
false. The Austriaus never conquered
Hungary as the English conquered Ireland.
Hungary merely made a pact with the
House of Hapsburg for the sake of neigh
borly association Ireland, on the contrary,
was conquered by force of arms, and can
only be delivered by force of arms"

Suit Against Russell Sage.

WILLIAM LAIDLAw, who was injured at
the time the attempt was made to assassi-
nate Russell Sage in the Arcade building
in New York in 1891 has brought suit
against Mr.. Sage to recover $4,000. Laid
law was in Mr.. Sage's Office at the time of
the explosion, and he alleges that the mil
lionaire broker pushed him between the
bomb-thrower and himself. His injuries
are said to be permanent. He underwent
physical examination last week, when it
was developed that an eardrum was broken
and his nervous system shattered beyond
repair. His employers said that he still
suffered greatly and was unfit to transact
business of any kind. Mr.. Sage himself,
according to the affidavit of his attorneys,
completely recovered from the shock.

Princess INFANTA EULALIA of Spain ar
rived at New York the Infanta Isabel
last Friday. The steamer was escorted to
the government dock by the United States
ship Dolphin The princess is accompanied
by Prince Antoine, her husband, and sew
eral other Spanish digntaries. She was
met at quarantine by Dr. jenkins, who ex
pressed to her his best wishes that she
should have a pleasant visit to the United
States, and the Infanta in response thanked
him and said that it had long been the wish
of her heart to visit this country. IT. was
evident that DR.. Jenkins expected to be re-
ceived in the most formal manner but he
was most agreeably disappointed in finding
the Infanta to be as democratic as a native
born American. The party at once pro-
ceeded by special train to Washington,
where elaborate preparations to receive the
royal party had been made. President
Cleveland's barouChe was in waiting for the
use of the princess. She was assisted from
| the train by Commander Davis, who pre-
| sented Secretary Gresham as the represent
tative of the president. She appeared to be
| pleased as she saw the large throng gath
cred to receive her, and chatted gaily in
| English with Mr.. Gresham. The Infanta,
Secretary Gresham, Senior Muruga, the
spanish minister, ana Prlnce Antoine en-
tered the presidents carriage, the cavalry
men saluted and the procession began to
move up Pennsylvania avenue towards the
| Arlington. A great crowd lined both sides
of Pennsylvania avenue, and the princess
appeared greatly pleased at the cordial
| demonstration manifested. Saturday morn
| ing the princess and her husband called on
the president, and were received with much
| cordially. Since their arrival in Washing
! ton Mrs. Cleveland and Colonel Wilson
have been very attentive to the royal guest,
and Saturday evening basket of white
roses was sent over from the White House
to the Infanta's rooms. A visit to the
Worlds Fair and a tour of the country are
looked forward to by the royal guests.

RINGING THE CURFE "
Revived in the Cities and Towns of Can

Revived in the Cities and Towns of Canada.
THE ancient custom of ringing the curfew,
instituted in the reign of William the Con-
querer, has been revived in the cities and
towns OF Canada. In oden times it was
rung at nightfall, when all lights were ex-
tinguished fires covered, and the people
retired. An act passed at the last session
of the Canadian parliament, while not quite
80 strict as the ancient law, provides that at
nine o'clock the curfew shall be rung, and il
any persons under seventeen years of age
are found on the streets they shall be locked
up by the Waterman or police, and unless
satisfactory explanation can be given the
parents shall be made to suffer either by
confinement in Jail or fine, or the sending
away of the children to some public institu.
ton, where they will be taken care of until
the authorities see fit to let them out.

FLASHED FROM THE ORIENT.
Disastrous Fires at Manilla-The Holocaust

Reported.

Reported.
Two disastrous fires which burned |, 400
native houses have recently occurred at
Manila. They originated, it is said, from a
family quarrel in native house, woman
having thrown a brazer of hot Goals at her
husband, which missed its mark and set fire
to the place. At the latest report five bod
les had been taken from the ruins. The
terrible fire recently reported from Kan Ii,
China, is even worse than the first accounts
would indicate. While the performance of
some theatrcals was in full swing, three
mat sheds containing over 5000 persons
were set on fire. The dry mating burned
rapidly, and, the supports giving way, fell
and suffocated a majority of the audience.
One of the sheds was occupied solely by
women and children, and when this was
fred band of well-dressed Chinese, who
were wholly unknown to the natives of the
district rushed in and seized the best-look-
ing young women and girls, to the number
of thirty or forty, and carried them away.
Boats were waiting at the riverside, and the
robbers made good their escape. Over
1900 collins were sent from Canton. and
others from Fashan. 1t is thought that
fully 5000 persons were suffocated

norance Of the emancipation of the slaves.

month for wages as family domestic during
all those years. The suit was first brought
in 1889 for 81 400, and resulted in a judg-
ment in her favor for 500. The defendant
appealed to the Kansas City court of APP
peals, which remanded the case to the cir

renders decision for the defendant. A
motion for new trial has been filed, and
public sentiment is in favor of the old
negress, who has toiled for her master for a
