Four years Of such work had It's effect.
He was a young man possessed OF mr.
physique and must have had great
strength; but socn after enlisting he suf-
fered with most of his regiment from
an epidemic OF h measles and from
that time had touches OF sciatic rheu-
matism. He began doctoring for II, but
In the army, In such campaigns as our
boys saw who followed Hooker and
Sherman, is a poor place to cure rheu-
matism and especially sciatic, the most
difficult form of rheumatism TO reach.
After the war he was mustered out with
honor, and his trouble increased, also
his kidneys bothered him greatly. In a
yea he decided to come west to Min
nesota n settled in Blue Earth Cou
ty, where he lived until 4 years ago.
He was terribly crippled and suffered
agcnies OF pain. He tried doctors OF all
kinds n medicines OF every descrip-
ton.
Finally he decided to 60 still farther
west, and selling his farm. he went to
the coast. But the damp air had a still
more harmful effect and he, suffering
what only fellow victims of sciatica can
realize, took almost the next train back.
and came here 10 Alexandria whers he
had relatives. Buying a small farm
near town, he again took up his fight
with sciatica. He tried every known
remedy, for such was his suffering that
his right leg has been shortened fully
two inches. His kidney trouble also
increased so that he could only rest
q couple OF hours at a time. Final
fy last winter the sarcasm Of destiny
added the grip to his MS. n when
he was recovering from 1t, but enable

down as sit up" as he expressed II, he
got hold OF a pamphlet telling about DR..
Williams III Pills for Pale People.

they might help, and fifty cents would
not ruin me-"
He bought one box and before he had
taken half of this box he felt wonder
full effects, and he soon, as he himself
put 1t, felt light and active, full of
spring and vigor." He had no more
trouble whatever with his kidneys, but
could sleep all night without getting up
once, and. though he took but two
boxes OF the Pink Pills. he says he has
never since had a twinge of the rheu-
matte pain. When seen IN last Satur-
day he was at a neighbor's giving a
kindly hand at repairing a pump, and
this old soldier, SO years of age, a vet
eran Of a dozen bloody battlefields,
showed greater strength than the young
fellows he was helping and worked with

where Washington Studied Rec


Above the east bank of the Schuy-

preserved colonial mansion, known a.
Mount JOY, at which an interesting
went was commemorated yesterday
he mansion was built In the closinl
Tears Of the revolution. About 17SG Oh
1881 IL was purchased by Peter Lee
gaux, a Frenchman. He built vine
yards around 1t and established bee
culture there on quite an extensive
scale. One hundred and eight years
ago, according to an old dairy Of Lee
gaux's, Gen. Washington, Gen. Miffiin
and several other American army of
ficers paid a visit to the place to ex-
anime Legaux's method Of handling
his many honey-makers,
The anniversary of this event was
celebrated yesterday, and n number
Of invited guests were present. Miss
Lucressa r. Fighter, a grand daughter
of Legaux, now owns and resides at
the mansion, and she took genuine
pride in exhibiting the quaint chairs
on which Washington and the famous
guests of that early time were seated
during their visit. A number of 9TH
err ancient articles of similar reminis-
cent value were shown to the visitors
Yesterday, who also looked upon the
emnants of the old Legaux vineyards.

ELECTROCUTED SHADE TREES.
Fine Films Killed by Contact With
Electric Wires.

Electric Wires.
Two pretty elm shade trees which
stand opposite the residence Of DR.. w.
L. Goldsmith, on Church street, have
recently died from e~lectrocution.
Now, DR.. Goldsmith is very much vex-
ed to know who should replace his
shade trees-the electric light COM
pany or the city. 1t may be that there
have been a number of trees killed In
this same manner and that this is the
first time it has been noticed.
Twenty years ago DR.. Goldsmith
planted two elm bushes in front of
his Church street home, and they sOOn
began to spread into beautiful shade
trees. The electric light company,
when it stretched its wires down that
thoroughfare allowed the wires to com
municate with the limbs of the trees.
True, the wires were covered with an
insulator, but the rubbing of the
limbs against the wires soon rubbed
this off and left the naked wire
against the body of the tree.
This occurred a short time ago, and
when it rained the presumption is that
the current from the wire went
through the damp trees and this kill
ed them. Three trees stand between
The two electric wire poles, but only
two Of them were injured, as the insu-
lator on the wire through the other tree
did not rub off. The rain occurred on
one afternoon, and on the following
afternoon one of the trees was entire
ly dead, the leaves having withered
and turned red
The other tree did not fare so bad
ly as this one, but it will soon come
down, as there are no signs of it's re-
yiving. The limbs which touched the
wire carried the electric current
through the body Of the tree, and IL is
having its effect at the roots and on
the body of the tree. Near the ground
and along the body of the tree the
bark is peeling off, and the tree bears
every evidence Of having been killed
ny electricity.
DR.. Goldsmith discovered one day af
ter the rain that the trees were dying.
and after giving the matter close In
vestigation, came TO the conclusion
that the current from the electric
light wire had killed his shade trees.
This is not the only instance Of wherr
electric wires have killed trees. Som
few years ago several trees were killed
by the telephone wires coming in con-
tact with them and the ~insulator rub
bling o. as IL did In this instance

New Use for Photoyrnphy.

An interesting use for photography Is
noted in the last annual report of the
city engineer Of Rochester, N. Y. To
meet the requirements of construc-
ton, his department had found 1t ne
cessary to prepare 1876 Photographic
negatives, 80 0prints and 1876 lantern
slides. Photography was used for
many purposes. In the first place, for
a record Of old structures which may
have had an important place in the
early local history. Secondly, as a
record Of construction for the purpose
Of study, and also for the purpose OF
squirting the inspectors and contract
orS to greater al Flashlight pict-
ures are taken of the inside Of COM
pleted sewers, so that the details Of
the work can be examined at leisure.
Many photographs are made for the
law department, to be used in of
suits for personal injury by reason Of
defects in walks and pavements. Cop
ies are pasted into substantial albums
and are Of constant use in discussions
with the aldermen and other officials,
as well as taxpayers. On u occasion
1t was necessary to educate the public
OF the city to a better comprehension
OF the question of beauty in bridge de-
signs. The engineer prepared a lect-
ure on city bridges and illustrated it
by 10 lantern slides made from photo
graphs. The slides were selected to
show existing structures, which are
failures, in direct comparison with
successful and beautiful specimens Of
bridge-bMlding. The lecture had q
good effect, and the engineer had the
satisfaction of selecting a bridge
which was artistic as we'll as useful.

Forty Gallons of Crude Nnpthn

A new process has been discovered,
after a years hard work and expert
menting at the I1arimer Coke works,
In Westmoreland county, by Foreman

Harrity. to turn the by-product Of the
foal used in making coke into valuable
material, instead Of, as before, letting
It GO up in smoke, as 1t has been, and
5 now doing, and will thus save mill
Ion OF dollars worth Of oil, gases, am
monia, tar and other useful articles,
which are manufactured from coal. 1t
will at the same time not affect the
quantity or quality Of the coke pro-
auced in the same oven.
The process is a very cheap and sim
pie one, the secret Of hich Is careful
ly guarded, but it il success, from
the fact that they have already OBJ
tatned, IN twelve hours, from one bee
hive oven, holding about five tons of
coke, some forty gallons Of crude nap
ha, which Is a thick, black, opaque,
viscous liquid, from which a various
number Of the constituents can be dis
titled. With the same machine they
extract an ammoniac liquor capable of
producing a large amount Of ammoniac
Salts, which are now being used for
fertilizing purposes. A large flow of
gas Is also collected by the same pro-
cess, and from this one oven, when
conducted away from the machinery
snd ignited, sends up a fame four or
ave feet high, and appears to be nearly
as good as a natural gas well.
The collecting pipes are simply at
tached to the outlet Of a common bee
hive oven, and the smoke Is conducted
Into a condensing apparatus, consist
Ing of a number of upright pipes,
down which a stream Of cold water Is
continually flowing, and at the bottom
OF h same Is a receiving tank.
They claim that the machinery used
by this process would not cost oyer $50
an oven, which is very small, when
compared 10 the cost Of that used in
foreign countries. Taking the average
amount of coal tar alone which can be
extracted from one ton of coal, which
Is eight gallons, at 8 cents per gallon,
1t can be estimated what an enormous
amount Of money is lost daily. TAX
Ing the 365 ovens at Larimer, each
burning five tons a day, gives 1926
tons Of coal burned In day. From
each ton eight gallons being extracted,
would give the large amount of 14,6OO
gallons per day, and at 8 cents per gal.
lon, would amount to $Z30 per day,
which is now an entire loSs.-CUnnells-
