GENERAL GRANT.
How Near His Personal Memoi,x
Came to be Lost.

A valuable History Written by a Dyinv
Man. Proper Nourishment Enabled
the Author to Live Until the Connie
ton of His Book.
The fortitude shown by General Grant
in writing the second volume of his Der.
sonal memoirs while he was literally on
his deathbed, excels even the remarkable
courage exhibited by this famous soldier
in his many achievements on the field Of
battle.
Col. Fred Grant, speaking of his fathers
last illness, says ,...
"During the last four months Of hi,
sickness, the principal food of nv father.
Gen. Grant, was Bovinine and milk; and
it was the use of this incompatible fool
alone that enabled him to finish the second
volume of his personal memoirs"
DIR. L. ii. Douglas, Gen. Grants physi.
clan and friend, cordially Endorsed The
above statement.
What Bovinine did for Gen. Grant il
has done, and is now doing, for thousands
every day. 1t is the most wonderful Con.
centration into small bulk of all the
life-civing, muscle, flesh, and blood-mak-
ing elements of lean, raw meat ever pro-
duced.
1t is in no way medicine, simply
food invisorant, that by its Strengthening
qualities gives the WORKOUT or disordered
vital centres of the body an impetus that
again starts them performing their natr-
raj functions.
1t is Endorsed by eminent physicians
everywhere. and blessed by thousands
whose lives it has actually saved.
To neglect to use this wonderful food
in all cases of debility, wasting diseases,
overwork. stomach and nerve diseases. or
for weak infants. chronic invalids, loss Of
vitality in old age. is to throw away ona
of the greatest chances of saving life.

WILL ABIDE BY THE LAW.
Debs Says Evidence Does Not Support tn
Finding of Judge Woods.

Finding of Judge Woods.
CHICAGO, Dec. 16.-Eugene V. Debs
says regarding Judge Woods decision:
II am a law abiding man, and I will
abide by the law as construed by the
judges. Dut if Judge Woods decision is
the law, all labor organizations may as
well disOand. According to him, every
strike is conspiracy and unlawful.
Even if our wages are reduced so per
cent and two or more of us decide to quit
rather than submit to the reduction, we
are guilty of conspiracy. OF course, he
says, strikes are all right if they are
peaceful, but who can tell when violence
will follow. We warned the men to re
spect property rights and even to keep off
the right of way of railway companies.
Judge Woods intimates that this advice
was given for the effect it would have on
the public and that the strikers were not
expected to heed it. What right has he to
draw such an inference? There is nothing
in the evidence to support it,"

EDITORS REVOLVER
Ended Negroes Attemp at Horsewhippine
Him at Providence.

PROVIDENCE, Dec. 16.-David Lingane,
managing editor of the Providence Even
ing Telegram, shot Osceola Cook, well
known negro character about town, today
Cook was horsewhipping Editor Lingane
and the latter used revolver in self
defense, shooting his assailant twice, once
in the neck and once in the chin.
Cooks wounds are not dangerous. The
cause of the horse whipping was due to al.
article which appeared in The Telegram
a few days ago accusing Cook Of maintain
ing notorious resort on Pine street.
Lingane was arrested and pleads not
guilty to assault with intent to kill Cook
and gave bonds in 5000 to appear in the
district court next Friday. He will bring

A large audience listened with rapt
attention last night to the hum and
cla,ter Of THE Worlds" giant presses.
1t was not In the press-room Of 1.-THE

leading thereto that his audience was
entertained with the music OF the great
news machines, but at Proctor's The

Edward Clarence, who for the last
ionr years has been connected with the

which made such a hit at his theatre

CAN 1T be CALLED OFT

The people OF New York have little
faith in legislative investigating com
mlttees. There have been 80 many OF
them, and in almost every instance they
have turned out to be shams.
Doubtless, that Is the reason the per-
sons who have been seeking to expose
alleged police abuses and to bring about
police reform have hesltatcd to cooper
ate with the present Lexow Committee.
Indeed, DIR. Parkhurst frankly told the
subcommittee yesterday that his So
ciety experiences n degree Of anxiety
lest the Senatorial investigators should
be called Off" as so many others have
been. whenever the developments prom
ised to De seriously interesting.
Although the Chairman declared the
suspicion unjust. and although Senator
Bradley significantly repudiated the Idea
that this Committee was going to be "A
counterpart of the Fassctt Committee,
the suspicion of Its insincerity was evil
IDENTIFY not wholly removed. This was
proved by the anxiety OF the representa-
tive OF the Chamber OF Commerce to
be assured that no police legislation
would take place at Albany until the
result Of the pending investigation had
been reached, and by the insistence OF
Dr. Farkhurst that the Committees duty
Is to investigate the police, and not to
investigate those who have made charges
against the police.
While there is reason in all this. the
fact should not be overlooked that the
stronger he proof of wrong-doing the
more difficult 1t will be to evade an ION
est and thorough reform Of the system
wherever abuses really exist. After all,
the correction of such evils must come
from the people. II all who have charged
the police with grave and shameful
o~ffenses will furnish the proofs on
which their accusations are founded: IL
II can be positively shown hat the police
force Is under any circumstances In
partnership with crime. 1t will be i'm
possible for the LeXow Committee to
whitewash II. or for the Legislature Ia
pass any bogus reform bills, or to carry
out any corrupt bargain between the
bosses of the two political parties. The
people will step In and prevent 1t.
At the same time, the Senate Com
mittee Is or ought to be an entirely i'm
partial body, and the investigation
ought to be conducted without prejudice,
fairly to all parties and fearless OF al
influences.

Uses of ~Cranberrics.

Cranberries are abundant this year,
and should take the place in the cuisine
which has been given over to apples in

priced this season. All fruits have a
medicinal value, and the cranberry
ranks as an anti-scorbutic 1t is q

cations. 1t will be equally eficacious in
the case OF pimples on the face. AS an
article of food the cranberry Is too little
Known. Many families know it only in
the form of sauce, but it may be served
in many other ways. A cooling refresh-

berries in water double the measure Of

A WorthIcsn Old Saw.

The old idea of attributing special
morality to early rising Is a bygone. out
of-date maxim.
Early to bed and early to rise,
Makes a man healthy and wealthy and wise.
Is a rhyme which has had It's day. A
certain medical man once discovered
with much statistical ~search-that he
never found a case of extreme longevity
unaccompanied by the habit of early
rising, from which one might infer that
they who rise late die early. But this
would fail to take into account one we'll
known fact-the fact that most elderly
people are early risers because they can
not sleep o. mornings. 1t is putting the
cart before the horse, a reversal or
cause and effect, to infer that people live
to be old because they do not sleep late.
Arranged in logical sequence, the con-
clusion is that they do not sleep late be-
cause they are old, and it is oily for
human beings to regulate their move
ments on pathological principles.

A Question for Women,

Why will women be SO careless in
little things about their dress? a stray
end of ribbon flying, a ragtag hanging
from the border of her gown, a button
missing, a tiny rip, too small, she thinks,
to be noticed, a rip in her gloves and
countless other little slovelinesses give
her an untidy lcok that mars the beauty
Of any costume. No woman looks WE'LL
dressed II she be careless about these
minor appointments. Any and all Of
them are fatal despoilers of a girls
attractiveness 1t is very easy to get in
a way of putting in a pin to hold
the bow of ribbon when 1t becomes
loosened, or TO practise scores of make
shifts, but the practice is a bad one and
will surely mark one as shiftless and
careless.
