'Such tremors are incurable. AS ma

Some members of the company OBJ

converted miser, I can show you one.

Z ed around him, and heard from his lips
the following recital:
In 1884," said the dramatist, "I had
just given to the theater of the Porte
Saint Martin one of the most successful
OF my pieces. One day about that time
two letters reached me by the same
post. Both were from Marseilles. One
was from theatrical manager, inform
ing me that he intended bringing out
my new piece there and that he desired
my presence at the final rehearsals of
Inc drama. With regard to remunera-
ton for my trouble l might make nv
own terms in reason. The second let
ter, very brief one, ran thus: Mon
sieur, the wife and daughter of your
brother are dying of want. Some hun
dreds OF francs will save them, and l
doubt not that you will hasten to visit
connections so near to you and make ar
rangements for their present and future
comfort This letter bore the signature
OF Dr. Lambert, of Marseilles.
"As have already told you, l was a
mlser in the worst sense of the word.
The physicians letter, far from moving
me to pity, merely renewed certain
angry feelings which had formerly ex-
istedin my mind toward my sister-in-
law. When, some years back. nv
brave sailor brother, who had since
been drowned, had written to tell me
OF his approaching marriage with a
fsherman's daughter, l, in my misera-
BILE pride and miserliness, had replied
that in marrying penniless girl / con-
sldered that he was doing most fool
ish and degrading action. / was even
wretch enough to advise him to break
OF the match If that were still possible.
My brother, like the honorable man he
was, welded the girl he loved. NV sis
ter-in-law, who was high-spirited Bre-
ton, never forgot my letter, and de-
spised its writer. When she lost her
husband and found herself in need it
was long ere she could bring herself to
apply to me. But the sight of her only
child wasting away from sheer want
had at last broken down her pride.

theater seemed Likely TO prove highly

REVOLUTION IN NICARAGUA,
Under the Leadership of Ex-Presidcnt
Savala.

PANAMA, VIA, GALVESTON, May g.
Mail advices bring the news that a
revolution has broken out in Nicaragua.
The movement is an outcome of the
old hostility entertained by the eastern
department toward the western de-
partment of the republic. Ex-Presi-
dent Savala is leader of the insurgent
forces. He has succeeded in capturing
the important city of Granada, capital
of the province of the same name.
Savala's success in getting possession
of the place is said to be due to treason
on the part of the garrison.
United States Minister Shannon, ac-
companied by his family, took passage
on the steamer at the Nicaragua sea-
port of Corinto for home.

BIG ECIXTE iIENT
Caused Among the Savannah Negroes by
supposed "Hag."

Caused Among the Savannah NeSfoes ~
supposed "Hag."
There has been almost riot among
the negroes at Woodville, a suburb OF
Savannah. 1t grew out a suspicion
that there was witch or 'hag'' in the
community and 1000 negroes, men ana
women, worked themselves into high
state of excitement, A little girl VINO
lived with her grandmother, respecta-
BILE old negro woman, had nightmare
Sunday morning and woke up scream
ing. The old woman was foolish enough
to tell her neighbors that her grand
daughter had been ridden by witch.
That started it and the story spread like
wildire among the negroes OF Savannah,
and soon they crowded the street lead
inc to Woodville. W hen the officers ar
rived at the scene they found fully LOCO
negroes gathered around the house, all IN
a very excited state. They seemed to be
under the impression that the "hag'
was in the house, and they were deter
mined to see her at any cost. Some OF
them said she had been caught at her
work before she could get back into her
skin, and that the skin was han ging up
inside the house. The negroes were de-
termined to get into the house and were
so excited that they were fighting among
themselves when the officers arrived. A
half dozen cool headed negro men were
holding the crowd at bay, knowing that
| if in their excitement the frenzied men
and women got inside, the old woman
would probably be killed when the bag
or the hag's skin failed to be discovered.
The officers concluded the best way of
allaying the excitement was to prove
that there was no such thing as a bag in
the house. For this purpose they Sc
Elected half dozen men from the crowd
whom they knew and taking them in the
house allowed them to make thorough
investigation. No witch was found of
course, andthe men went out and report
ed this result. The crowd was not salts
fed at this. Several fights began in con-
ouence of the excitement. The negroes
still believe that there is bag at Wood
Vile and other demonstrations are ex-
pected.

Bacon Leads.
AnOnSta Herald

From the Augusta Herald.
Mr.. duBignons candidacy for the sem
atorship has attracted a great deal of
attention and talk in Augusta. The ma
iority Of the people here will give him
their support if there is no man from
this part of the state in the race. And it
may be stated it is probable there will
be man from eastern Georgia in the
S ralnble.
II admire Mr.. duBignon very much, :"
said gentleman, "but don't believe he
will ever be United States senator from
Georgia-that is, not yet. He is brilliant
and able, but heis a railroad lawyer and
his firm, Erwin, duBignon and Chisholm,
conduct as much legal business for rail
road corporations as any firm in Georgia
The farmers of the state, who will con-
troll the next legislature, will not give
their support to railroad attorneys"
This gentleman further said that lie
believes Hon. 40. Bacon will be a prom
inent figure in the next contest for the
senatorship.

Happy Women.

What is it that makes women more
Milling and happy looking than men?
We meet them on the cars, on the street,
in the country, by the seashore, always
smiling, teeth aglistening, eyes dane
ing. ALI the secret is they aim to
please. 1t is an effort in many instances
for them to smile, and were it not for a
desire to look pleasing and pretty, many
would "never smile again." Why? Be-
cause in a large majority of instances
they don't feel like smiling. They feel
more like crying. With their nervous
aches, weakness and bearing down pains
life to them is burden. What a gold
fl Id to many a physician is rich, sick
woman. Why should he aim to cure her
and deny himself the pleasure of pre-
senting his bills with the usual regular
ity. 1t seems from the following, that
the surest and cheapest way for invalid
women to regain health and strength is
by using Botanic Blood Balm (B. B. b.
Mrs. J. A. White, $40 Wythe Street,
Petersburg, Va, writes: 81 have used B.
B. B. with happy results, and others
have taken it at my advice and are de-
lighted at its curative results"
j. n. Gregg y, Butler Postofice, s. c.,
writes: 'My wife had been under the
treatment Of several good physicians,
but continuedin poor health, SO bought
four bottles of Botanic Blood Balm, and
it did her more good than those doctors
had done her in ten years. She is now
doing her own washing, thing she had
not been able to do for four years." Sold

A POLECAT AsTRAY.
How a Northerner Tried to Catch One and
the Result.


From the Savannah News.
1t isn't every one who knows a pole
cat when he sees it, and the danger OF
coming in contact with what seems
harmless little animal Some of them
are quite pretty-at distance. Such
was the opinion of a policeman and a
northern gentleman who tried to catch
one the other morning, thinking some
beautiful pet had gotten astray during
the night.
About 3 o'clock in the morning, as one
of the compositors on the Morning News
was going to his home after completing
his labors, he was accosted by police
man with the request for his assistance
in capturing pretty pet animal that
had escaped from the express Office. The
gentleman of course consented, and they
chased the cat around until they had
cornered him in one Of the doorways of
the building thereabout Then they
made a rush upon it, when the cat i'm
mediately squared himself and 'shook
his tail, as they said
Everyone who has ever had anything
to do with a polecat readily understands
that it's IS lake'' means something, and
this case is no exception to the general
effect. The result, as summed up by
the two gentlemen,is two suits of clothes
ruined for all time 1t is said by one
who saw them after the occurrence that
their far-away look and contracted nos
trils indicated that everything wasn't
smelling as agreeably as they would
have liked. They separated wiser, II
not happier. What became of the po-
licernan, or who he is, is not known, but
1t is thought that he might be scented
out at the barracks, unless he destroyed
the suit of clothes before he turned in
that night,
AS to the polecat, he is said to be in
full possession Of one of the cellars in
the neighborhood, and evidently as safe
from interference as if he were protect
ed by an army of $4,000 bluecoats.
Where the "pet" came from is mystery
that will never be known.
