as much ascribable to the prevailing bad

Foreigners,

WASHINGTON. Dec 1.-THE worlds
fair board OF awards have struck bal

disclosing for the first time that the for
eign exhibitors will secure 63 per cent
of the prizes. while the American ex-
hibitors will receive only 81 per cent.
Chairman Thacher, Of the board. says
this showing will put an end to the
criticisms made by foreigners and taken
up in this country, that the foreign
exhibitors were not receiving full con-
sideration. He anticipates that the
American exhibitors will now be heard
from, and that they will feel that the
board mas not been sufficiently patriotic
towards home exhibitors. but Mr..
Thaoher says he and his associates have
been governed By the finding of the
judges, and that the latter are respon-
sible for giving the foreigners the bulk
of the prizes.

Cycling Record Goes Down,

BIRMINGHAM, Ala, Dec. l4.-One
more worlds record in cycling went
down today before Mike Dirnberger on
the state fair track. The pace-maker
was not rapid enough for him, and from
the time the half stake was passed he
kept up a yell to go ahead. Six watches
registered the time as 33 As seconds,
and the lowest previous is "a 3-5. This
lowers the worlds record four-ffths of
a second. Bliss was to have ridden for
the stand two miles, but owing to the
fact that his pace was very unsteady he
did not succeed in finishing the ride.

Leopard Shooting.

Mr.. Simson writes thus: IT consider
that exposure to a leopard on foot, with
due precaution and a proper weapon, IS
only a fair sporting risk, and accidents
must happen occasionally" Mr.. Sim
son is certainly entitled to speak. He
shot many leopards on foot; he was
twice badly wounded by a leopard, but
on one of these occasions a third leopard
Unexpectedly attacked him from behind,
when he had already killed two others
in the same patch of grass jungle.
Mr.. Simson mentions that an old
French gentleman whom he knew used
to go about hunting for leopards with a
nondescript sort of dog, half pa-iah and
half spaniel. when the dog smelled a
leopard, he would cock his ears and point
out from a respectful distance where tie
leopard lay. The Frenchman kept on
peeping and peering about, wholly re-
gardless of anything the leopard might
do in the way Of attack, till he could
sight the animal. He then killed him
almost to a certainty with a single shot"

Some Of the romantic events set

years ago the soldiers of the Kekholmsky
regiment found on the battlefield after
IN engagement the body Of a woman
with a little girl baby clasped in her
arms. The child was adopted by the

whole regiment, acting as her father,
considered his proposal, investigated
his character and received testimonials
from his brother officers. He was gra-
ciously accepted, ard the couple are to
be welded shortly with interesting GER

THE KELLEY INSTITUTE
Twelve Years of Established Merit
NOTE OF
TO THE PUBLIC:

TO THE PUBLIC:
DWIGHT, Ill, April 80, 1892.
AS a matter of justice to ourselves and to
the reputation of DIR. Leslie E. Keeley's
Double Chloride of Gold remedies, for the
cure of the liquor, opium, morphine and
tobacco diseases and Neurasthenia, we warn
the public that these remedies are used by
no institution or sanitarium in the United
States except those established by ouI COM
pany under the uniform name of "The
Kelley Institute"
All others claiming to use our remedies
are frauds and imposters.
We have now sixty Kelley Institutes es-
tablished in various parts of the United
States where the Kelley treatment is adj
ministered and the Kelley remedies sold.
We, however, caution all to examine we'll
and know that they are dealing with genuine
representatives, authorized by us, before
taking the treatment or purchasing remedies.
The fraudulent establishments use the name
of "Bi-Chloride of Gold" or similar titles.
LIE newspapers uO not UlSCTlLuIudIc SuIl-
GENTLY to know that they are imitators, and
so put down all accidents occurring at such
establishments as being brought about by
the Kelley treatment. This is a matter of
much concern to US, hence this warning.
Respectfully yours,
THE LESLIE Z. KELLEY co.
Curtis J. Judd, Sec'y and Treas.
The Kelley institute at Greensboro, n. c.,
is the only one in the state, and all repre-.
sensations that there is in the state any cure
that is identical with, or the same as, the
Kelley Double Chloride of Gold Cure are
malicious, false, and made for the purpose of
deceiving. We learn with indignant regret
that such claim is being made, and feeling
that if it be hurtful to US it will prove more
disastrous to those who are deceived thereby,
we sound this warning.

WOMEN'S EADS.
Cne OF Them Is @ Mania fer Hiding

Things from Burglars.
Every woman is possessed of some
mania in a mild form, which, however,
is Of as pronounced a type, though less
aggressive, as that which has sent
many a poor mortal to the insane asy-
lum. The New York Commercial Adj
v~ertiser claims that this is no rash
statement, but merely a study from
actual life. Take in your own family,
for instance: Do you not say: Jessie
or Belle or Susie is absolutely crazy on
such and such a subject?" And though
the topics vary with the women the de-
mentia is not lessened whit there
by. Look at the number of feminine
care-takers who have a passion for hid
ing away their possessions, and so care
fully do they put them out of sight that
they themselves forget where the
place is when it comes time TO find
them. Those people would Indignantly
resent any insinuation as to their san
ity, but does it seem possible that we'll
balanced minds will stow away a gold
thimble or a roll of bills in a pair Of
~rolled-up stockings, or put jewelry or
cash in the scrap basket or the CRATE,
and then, in less than twenty-four
hours, give the stockings away to a
blind beggar, sell the contents of the
basket to the ragman and light a coy
fire in the CRATE right on top of the
most cherished possessions? Yet this
is done every day, if the papers speak
the truth; and who would have the
boldness to doubt the statements of the
press? Then again there are women so
morbidly afraid of robbers that it be-
comes a mania with them, and every
night a search begins under beds and
into dark closets, which, if successful in
it's object, would turn their hair gray
in one night. When bedtime comes
they load themselves down with the
family silver, which they carry up to
their sleeping apartments; every win
dow is not only bolted, but tin pans are
set at such angles that a burglars
breath would knock them over and thus
throw the timid creatures upstairs into
violent Mysteries, instead of putting
them On guard against the intruders, as
is the intention Of the wobbly kitchen
utensil. Some women have a mania
for bargains and own yards and yards
of remnants in lengths and colors that
are simply useless, yet which, because
of their craze, they could not possibly
resist buying. These are but a few in
stances, but hundreds of others could
be cited, and certain it is that though
the writer and the reader of these lines
think themselves quite sane on every
point there is some flaw in their mental
N that their friends could probably
dilate upon for hours.
