The
Deadly
VariG0G8l8

Reader, you may be aficted with varicocele
and yet have no conception of the terrible conse-
quences that 1t is almost sure to entail upon you
If you neglect its cure. The sense of debility,
soreness, dragging-down feelings, enlargements
In lower part of abdomen, together with the
nervousness and mental depression that usually
accompanies varicocele may have led you to con-
suit some physician, who, knowing he had no
cure to offer tried to quiet your fears regarding
its serious nature by telling you 1t was of little
consequence, TO apply bandage and you would
outgrow 1t. Bandages have never cured a
varcocele. neither has medicine or opera
tions afforded more than temporary re-
lief. a varicocele can only be cured by mechani-
cal processes There are SO many victims 10 this
wretched complaint that prolific field is opened
up to unscrupulous preteuders, who offer pills,
powders, Washes electrical, and other absurdi-
ties for its cure l have been In rupture and
varicocele practice for more than thirty years.
and have seen thousands upon thousands of
yaricoceled patients that have been treated by
these pretenders, and solemniy declare that
never saw person cured by one of them, and
it's my belief that no one else ever saw a cure
made by or through them. So strong is my con-
viction that varicocele has never yet been cured
by washes, medicine, or by these pretenders that
hereby offer TO pledge any amount of money
that am the only physician on earth that can
cure the disease. If you suspect a varicocele,
call and learn from me Just what your condition
is and what the possibilities are of cure.

rapidly that it will not now number much over
60 per cent. 1t absorbed nearly all the in

in the United States nearly all the increase in
wealth was absorbed by the rich and middle
classes between 1860 and 1880.

An Evening with Dickens

Miss Kate Field having been beseeched by
many of her numerous admirers, repeated
her lecture Evening With Dickens to very
large audience at the banquet hall of the
Shoreham last night. She was introduced by
Congressman ]. B McCreary OF Kentucky.
Her lecture was enriched with many personal
"reminiscences of Dickens. She portrayed the
character of the great novelist in a clear and
attractive way. Then she picked up his
literary life and gave her audience n mental
photograph of Engiand's greatest novelist
Her lecture abounded with pathos and humor,
and before she had finished her audience had
agreed that this was the best OF her numerous

untidy maid prepares you for every evidence
Of lax Housekeeping, and you are seldom dis

Little things that indicate character in indi-

The Woman With Happy Disposition.


The woman who is blessed with a happy
disposition is in possession of that which
brings into her life more of the actual sun
shine of existence than untold gold could
ever buy. The being who looks continually
on the dark side, who regards life as one
great tragedy. cannot enjoy even the bound
less advantages that are within reach. because
what is brightest ard best is always to such a
mind shadowed by the forebodIng Of coming
evil.
The happy disposition enables its possessor
to pick out the one fine strand Of hope from
the tangled mass of financial trouble, heart
ache. and sundry other sorrows that fall to
the lot of all who tread life's pathway
Nothing is SO bad that it could not have been
much worse. The most dire disaster has a
bright side, and the buoyant disposition that
absolutely frowns down and fights of the
moody influence OF trouble is treasure be-
yond all power of pen to estimate.

Consideration of Mail Service.
The House spent yesterday in consideration
OF the post office appropriation bill. Much
opposition was manifested TO the item appro-
priating s194 ,614 for special mail facilities on
the route from Springfield, Mass, via New
York and Washington TO Atlanta and New
Orleans. strong minority report was made
on this item and from the indications yester-
day AFTERNOON this appropriation may be
stricken from the bill when il is reached.
There was also general discussion of
experimenting with a free-delivery system
throughout the rural districts and it was
finally decided TO set aside fund of 500. 900
for experimental purposes.
Some criticism was also INDUCED in with
reference to the item appropriating 100000
for the rental of machines for cancelling
stamps. it being contended that it would be
much cheaper for the government to purchase
the machines outright. Ultimately an amend
ment carried making it optional with the
Postmaster General as to whether he would
purchase or rent the machines.

There had been no increase practically in
the wealth in thirty years, although in the ten
years between 1850 and 1860 the per capita
wealth nearly doubled, rising from s591 to
1898, of which only s21 was from the dis
covery OF gold.
In 1860 the wealth of this country was very
evenly distributed; there were no multi-mill-
ionaires, very few millionaires, few large
fortunes. No special wealth statistics were
collected, but the census OF 1860 shows half
the wealth in possession of half the people.
There were no bonanza farms and no tenant
farmers. One half the male workers were on
farms they owned, and the average land value
Of each farm was S3,251, while few went
much over or under. Poverty was confined
to the cities, and to small sections of them.
1t is perfectly safe to assert that 81 per cent.
of the people held in fair and even measure 81
per cent. of the wealth, while 4 per cent. of
the people owned the remaining per cent,
leaving not more than 5 per cent. practically
paupers.
The per capita wealth is the same to-day as
in 1860. Each man eats and drinks and any
great change that has come must Of necessity
have been by a redistribution of wealth-bv
taking from many and giving it to one.
The census of 1890 shows that the condi-
tions of 1860 have been reversed; that 81 per
cent of the people of the United States are
to-day practically paupers, living from hand
to mouth, dependent upon their daily
labor for their daily bread, while per
cent are eapitalistic employers, owning 81 per
cent OF the wealth. 1t divides the wealth
among three classes of families in 1S9O-(1)
multi-millIonaires. (2) employing capitalists,
