Col. Sillowaye resides at s Pine ST.,

The Track of Progress.

In all the scientific advancement
which has been made there is nothing
which has attracted more attention
and certainly nothing which is of more
vital consequence to all than that
which has been made in the treatment
of disease. There are thousands of
sick persons and invalids all over the
country who have until recently been
unable to avail themselves of the most
scientific medical aid.
Through the thoughtfulness and
kindness of that great benefactor of
mankind, DIR. Greene. of 35 West 18th
Street, New York, all those who are
suffering from any form of disease may
avail themselves of his great system of
treating and curing disease all over the
land through letter correspondence
People can consult him by letter ALSO
lutely free of charge. DR.. Greene is
the most successful specialist in curing
all nervous and chronic diseases; he is
the discoverer of DIR Greene's Nervura
| blood and nerve remedy. He gives
most careful and explicit attention to
all letters received by him and writes
the patient a full description of the
case. The Doctor uses nothing but
harmless vegetable remedies and has
had wonderful success in curing disease
through letter correspondence. Send
for one of his symptom blanks and he
will write you a full description OF
your disease and give you advice in
regard to its cure, free of charge.

Weather. Prophets COMPOUNDED.

1t is usually very safe to predict great
storms in March, and the weather
prophets, so-called, think they can
safely do so without endangering their
regulations as prophets; so both Hicks
and Foster predicted storms for this
month commencing on the 18th, and
Hicks even gave the new moon on that
date as one of the chief causes. The
new moon appeared on schedule time,
but the storm did not, which shows
that the moon does not affect the
weather as Hicks processes to believe.
The weather during the time this storm
was predicted to occur was unusually
mild and pleasant for this season OF
the year, and the storm Petrels-Hicks
and Foster-no doubt feel great
chagrin that the clerk of the weather
disappointed them so severely. The
theory of basing predictions of the
weather on the movements of the
planets is false for no heavenly body,
except the sun, has any appreciable
effect on the weather. The sun is the
primary cause of all changes of the
weather, which are produced by the
heat emitted by the sun. Without
this heat, there would be no motion OF
the air-no wind, no rain, no snow,
but only cold dead calm in which no
life could exist.

serenely on his way, and despite their

at the right time, in the right way
leaving the honesty of his purpose and
the sincerity of his action to the voice

not, will surely do him honor, and
place the name of Grover Cleveland
high on the roll of fame as one who did
his every duty from sense of right

nor feared the frowns of enemies for so
doing.
History is but repeating itself. From
George Washington down, every Presi-
dent who has acted with high pur-
pose, and from convictions of right
and duty, has been, in his time, fear
fully slandered by vindictive, tireless
and INSCRIPTIONS enemies. We can

quoting the words of another writer

AS the Iaade1-Appeal says, there will
be great times in Fredericksburg next
May. The Mary Washington monu-

pices of the devoted women who com

DRIVEN MAD BY SPIRITUALISM.-In
sanity's blight has fallen simultaneous
ly on three handsome sisters. daughters
of Joseph Schenck, a wealthy farmer
of Sanborn, N. Y, and the little village
is intensely excited over the triple mis-
fortune.
Farmer Schenck lived happily with
his trio of daughters, Mary, Maria and
Ellen, who, being highly accomplished,
had many admirers. Or late the young
women had been attending spiritualist
seances, and change was noticed in
them. Nothing serious was thought OF
the matter until Saturday evening,
when people were startled by seeing
three women rushing through the
streets clad only in night gowns.
Investigation showed that the
Schenck girls had left their rooms, and
were fleeing, no one knew where. The
neighbors went in chase, and found the
three sisters raving maniacs They
were taken back home, where they
were put in strait-jackets. They will
be taken to the Buffalo Insane Asylum.
The father is. nearly Frustrated by the

Tabernacle for Moody in Richmond.

Moody will arrive in Richmond on or
before the 10Th of this month to con-
duct series of meetings, and a spa
cious tabernacle for the purpose is now
being built, of which the Dispatch of
last Sunday says =
1.-The tabernacle is rapidly going up.
Nearly all the weatherDoarding and
roofing is done, and great progress has
been made in laying the flooring. Con-
tractor Chesterman has about forty
carpenters at work upon the structure,
and he is pressing the building to com
pletion with all his vigor.
The tabernacle will be the largest
ever erected in Virginia. Its construc-
tion will require about 10000 feet of
lumber. The roof will be covered with
paper, portion of this work already
having been done. Good ventilation
will be furnished, as there are numer-
Gus windows all around the structure.
Possibly the most important feature
of the building will be it's strength
There have been some doubts that it
would be safe with 5000 or 1000 people
in it, but the contractor says this is
absurd, and one would be forced to
agree with him were he to witness
double horse teams, heavily loaded,
driving about upon the flooring from
point to point delivering material"

The Nv ets'' Win in Roanoke.

A local-option election was held in
Ronoake City last September, since
which time there has been contest
about the result. The vote seemed to
be in favor of the "Drys." To bring
the matter before the Court to test the
matter, Geo. K. Moore made applica-
ton to sell liquor. The Hastings Court
denied the application on the ground
that the election was legal and that it
was against the license for the sale of
liquor. An appeal was taken from the
decision of the Hastings Court to the
Circuit Court, which on last Friday
decided in favor of the ets"-Judge
Whittle being the Circuit Court Judge
who decided the case. A despatch to
the Baltimore Sun says
HE reversed every ruling of the
Hastings Court, who denied the appli-
cation of George K. Moore for a license
to sell liquor, holding that petition
for a ocal-option election must be
voted in the preceding November cleo
no writ of election having been issued,
no election was held, and that petit
ton could not be received or acted up
on by the court in vacation.
A great cheer went up when the
judge ceased to speak and the confu-
sion was so great that a witness, put
on the stand to testify as to MOore's
fitness and the suitableness of the
place at which he proposed to sell
liquor, could not be heard and the
court was compelled to adjourn. The
Hastings Court was in session in an
other part of the building, but when
the cheer was heard, lawyers, clients,
jurymen and the few spectators rushed
out pell-mell and no business could be
transacted and this court also adjourn
ed. The ''Wets" are rejoicing at vari-
Gus places in the city, but in an order
ly manner, and treating the "Drys"
with courtesy"
The "Drys" will take an appeal from
the decision of the Circuit Judge to
the Court of Appeals.

President Cleveland .

We think with Yonker's IN. "
Gazette, that there has perhaps never
been better abused President of the
United States than Grover Cleveland.
This is especially true of his life thus
far in his second term. 1t hardly
seems as though he could say or do
anything without some paper or per-
son severely criticising him for it. And
the worst of all this is the fact that no
sharper criticism comes from any
source than from certain democratic
journals and many uncertain misnamed
democratic statesmen and leaders.
1t is pleasant fact, however, to note
that, no matter how severe the storm
of sarcasm, the jibes of the unsatisfied,
or the barkings of the hounds of per
secution that beset the Presidents
pathway, he moves on unframed and
unscathed. And it is also exceedingly
gratifying to notice the fact that moth
ing can swerve him from the course he
has laid out for himself after conviction
of it's righteousness.
President Cleveland is a positive
man. No occupant of the Presidential
office had stronger courage in his con-
victions. When Grover Cleveland,
after careful consideration of every as
pect of a question requiring his atten-
ton, and mature reflection thereon,
makes up his mind to the course he
will pursue, he cannot be swerved
from it. There is no more use in try
ing to do this than there would be in
expecting to change the course of the
wind by holding up your little finger.
And we admire President Cleveland.
as does every high-minded man, for
this ruggedness of character and tenac-
ity of purpose. 1t avails him on every
occasion, and it makes even his out
spoken enemies, who cannot use him,
admire his steadfastness of purpose
and his pursuit of right and justice as
it seems to him. Upon his every official
act these noble traits of character are
impressed so plainly that all can see
and praise, even if they cannot always
approve.
We look to the present administra-
ton of President Cleveland for such
great strides in the march of progress,
for the widening of our borders, for
such legislation as will conserve the
best interests of all our people, and for
many more great and good things than
have marked the administration of any
former President.
President Cleveland is honest, able,
conscientious, deep thinker, hard
worker, democrat in whom there is
no guile, a keen student of human
nature, sympathetic friend, court
eous antagonist, and above all man of
the people, placed where he is by the
people, and determined, at no matter
what cost, to do for the people that
which shall be for their everlasting
glory and renown.
The enemies of the President, who
so bitterly, persistently and malignant
w assail him, may fret their little hour
upon the stage of history, in their ef-
