A YOUNG GIRLS FORTUNE.
AN INTERESTING SKETCH.

Nothing appeals so strongly to a mothers
affection as her daughter Just budding into
womanhOod. Following is an instance: Our
daughter Blanche. now Is years OF age had
been terribly afflicted with nervousness, and
had lost the entire use of her right arm She
was in such a condition that we had to keep
her from school and abandon her music les

would have had that terrible affection. We
lad employed physicians, but she received M
benefit from them. The first of last August shG
weighed but 70 pounds, and although she has
taken only three bottles of Nervine she now
weighs LOG pounds; her nervousness and symp-
toms of st. Vitus dance are entirely gone she
attends school regularly, and studies with com
fort and ease. She has recovered complete US.

NATURAL BORN sHowMEN.
characteristics of the Ringing Bros
That Have Success for This
Famous Quintette.

Famous Quintette.
Naturally there is great deal OF
curiosity in regard to the Ringing
Brothers, whose big circus exhibits
in San Antonio for the first time,
October 80. Among showmen they
are recognized as the most phe-
nomminally successful circus man.
ayers that this country has ever
produced. The reason for their
great success can be readily en-
planned.
1t may be said in a general way
that the Ringing Bros. owe a great
deal of their success to their per-
sonal characteristics and to the
business methods. There are five
brothers, and nature seems to have
especially gifted each one for the
nosition in the management which
he occupies. The eldest broth.
er, AL, has entire control OF
the performance, as well as
OF all employees engaged in the
hippodrome and menagerie paVll-
ions. This is his province, and he
is never interfered with in any
way. Ifany employe is to be dealt
with in any matter, it is through
AL. alone. Otto, the second brother,
is an admirable mathematician
and financier. By mutual consent
he has always been given charge OF
the finances of the big institution.
Charles has general supervision OF
the several methods employed in
advertising the show, orders all
printing and indicates how much
is to be used in each city. ALI. L.
is general press agent and has en-
tire direction of the newspaper
work for the show. John routes
the show-that is, determines
which cities shall be Wis
tied, and arranges for the
transportation of the three
trains used by the Ringlings over
the various railways. While hum
dreds of agents, performers and
working people of all kinds are
in the many depart
ments OF the big show, the Ring
ling Brothers give their personal
attention to all the details, and are
always in touch with their en-
ployes.
There are several features en-
bodied in the business policy OF
the Ringling's that deserves at
tention, particularly as these fea-
lures have contributed great
deal to their success. Their avowed
policy is to make friends
Of all witch whom they or
their employees come in contact.
No "kickers" are permitted either
out of the show or with it. Courtesy
and honest dealing is a prerequi-
site for employment. Bills arc al
ways paid promptly. Gambling is
not tolerated in any form, and that
dishonest class known as "grafters"
who frequently follow shows and
virtually rob the unsuspecting, are
never found in the vicinity of this
big institution. The management
secures their arrest whenever de-
tected. All this has served to give
the Ringing show distinct char
acter, and wherever it is shown 1T
is popular with the people.

MRS. HALLIDAY'S SENTENCE
COMMITTED.

ALBANY, N. Y. July l6, 1884. Governor
Flower commuted the sentence of death
passed upon Elizabeth Halliday, to imprison-
ment for life, and filed the following memo
randum:-
The defence was insanity, and the evidence
to establish it was very strong
Dr. sclden H. Talcott, medical
superintendent of Middletown State Hos
pital, and DR.. Henry f. Allison, medical
superintendent of the Matteawan State
Hospital, both of them men of great ex-
perience, testified that she had at different
times some years before the homicide, been
under their charge as an insane patient, at
which times she was unquestionably insane.
and that they had no doubt that she was in
sane at the time of the homicide.
Three commissioners. appointed since the
trial, have after a careful examination.
fled their report stating that, in their opin-
ion, she is insane
Under these circumstances, do not think
her q fit subject for the death penalty. 1t
will be much safer to commute the sentence
to life Imprisonment.

THESE STRIKERS LAUGH.

ST. LOUIS, July II, 1S94-As result of
the two weeks operation of the roads with
new men the strikers allege that the vari-
GUS railroad hospitals in ST. Louis contain
no less than fifteen patients with crushed
legs and arms The most serious accident
on this account was the Wabash and Big
Four wreck, in which one man was killed.
But little suffering from the want of
necessities of life has resulted on the east side
from the strike. Nearly all the strikers had
a little money or credit and they have con-
Quoted themselves in such an orderly and
peaceable manner that their credit was not
withdrawn, as is the case in most strikes.
The strikers are laughing at the assertions
of the railway officials to the effect that they
about one-third their regular force at work, )"
said striker, ''and their talk about sending
out freight is all bosh. They may be sending
out some, but comparatively Httle.'

Miller was badly cut about the head and

fatal
The most seriously injured of the pas
sengers is a weman named Raberts OF
Chicago, who was badly cut about the head
and face, and is also injured Internally
Many of the passengers were cut and bruised,
but are not seriously injured.
There is no doubt but the wreck was the
result of deliberate plot to wreck the train
and take the lives of number of passen-
gers. The same kind of plot was at
tempted at Vicksburg last week. One OF
the traclmen fortunately found that the
plates had been removed from the rails IN
the same manner as they were last nlght
and in time to prevent an accident. There
is no clew, as yet, to the perpetrators OF the
CRIME, but several men are under Suspicion
