There isn't e1u manufacturer in the
United States VINO does not know Jefferson
NJ ClOugh, and why. B,carse he has been
intimately associated all his life with the
development OF the two best American
rifles, the Remington and Winchester. For
years lie was superintendent of the Z. Rem
mgtOn & sons great factory at lion, N. Y.
After leaving there he refused tempting
offer of the Chinese Government TO go to
China to suDerintend their government fac
tories-and accepted instead the superin-
tendency of the Winchester-ArmsC Co, ct
New Haven, at q salary of $3.50 year.
It was after this long term of active labor
as a business man that he found himself in
capacitated for further service by the en-
barge which rheumatism had laid upon him
and resigned his position more than two
years ago, and returned to Belchertown,
Mass where he now lives aud owns the
Phelps farm, a retired spot where he has
five hundred acres of land.
Being a man of means he did not spare
the cost and was treated by leading physi-
clans and by baths at celebrated Springs
without receiving any benefit worth notice.
During the summer of 1893 and the winter
of 1894 Mr.. Clough was confined to his house
in BelchertOwn, being unable TO rise from
his bed without assistance, and suffering
continually with acute pains and with no
taste or desire for food, nor was he able to
obtain sufficient sleep.
Early in the year 1894 Mr.. Clough heard
of DR.. Williams Pink Pills for Pale People.
He began taking these pills about the first
of March 1894 and continued to do so until
the first part of September following. The
first effect noticed wasa better appetite and
he began to note more ability to help him
self off the bed and to be better generally.
Last August OS94I he was able to go alone
to his summer residence and farm Of 163
acres on Grenadier Island, among the
Thousand Islands, in the river st. Law
renee, where from the highest land of his
farm he commands a view for IL miles
down the river, and 60 of the Thousand
Islands can be seen.
Instead of being confined to his bed Mr..
ClOugh is now and has been for some time
able to be about the farm 10 direct the men
employed there and hei thankful for what
Dr. Williams Pink Pills have done for him.
These pills are manufactured by the DR..
Williams Medicine Company, Schenectady,
n. Y. and are sold only in boxes bearing
the firms trade mark and wrapper, at 30
cents box or six boxes for $50, and are
never sold in bulk They may be had of all
druggists or direct by mail from DR.. Viii

recall the violent deaths, the suicides,
of which you have heard-aEd ask
yourself the reason of all this death,
suffering and despair. And you will
see, however strange it may appear,
that the cause of nine-tenths of human
suffering is the present life of the

that it could be avoided, and that the

Think of the existence of these

they give themselves, and you will see
that they are martyrs.
"All have left their fields, their

have renowned everything and come
to the city in order TO acquire that
which the world considers necessary.
All of them are there, from the oper-

and the prostitute, to the wealthy mer-

of all of them, to say nothing of the
tens of thousands of unfortunates who
have lost everything and live on scraps

The Revolution in Colombia.

WASHINGTON, June 1.-THE state
department has received information
of the serious devastation the revolu-
ton in Colombia, South America, is
causing. 1t also shows the very
straitened circumstances in which
the government finds itself, owing 10
the war. The government is out of
funds. and is making tax levies which
are very hard to bear. placing an enor-
nous export excise tax on coffee, which
is the principal crop of the country.
The revolution also has drained the
country of men, and has resulted in
the destruction of crops and of ami
mails used for transportation.

TOPEKA, Kan, June 13.-The rail.
road attorneys of Kansas have notified
the state board of railroad commission
ers that the companies will not COM
ply with the law enacted by the legis-
lature last winter, limiting the charge
for the Transportation Of the Kansas
national guard to cent per mile per
man and cent per mile per ton for
baggage and supplies. 1t is claimed
that the law is unconstitutional
for two reasons - because by
decisions of the United States
supreme court railroads cannot be re-
quired to perform a service for less
than the cost of such service. it being
declared that the actual cost of trans
porting a passenger is more than :
cents per mile. and because of the pro
vision that the penalty for violating
such law shall go to the state militia
fund, which is unconstitutional, be.
cause the constitution provides that
all penalties shall go to the school

WASHINGTON. June 1.-THE question
how much injury was caused by the
severe weather in May to peaches and
apples will be dealt with in 4 special

decidedly more favorable than that re-
ceived in June. 1894 Only two states

May have done much damage, although
as is usually the result, the orchards in
favored situation, even in districts
suffering most. have apparently es-
caped injury. 1t is too early to deter
mine how great the damage from the
cold weather has been. Oft N the full
effects OF such spell are only realized
after the excessive dropping of fruit in
June has left the orchards nearly bare.

OhIO's Grand Army Commander Makes
Some Significant Remarks


SASDUsKY. o.. June 14.-ln his an
nual report Department Commander
Mutt, of the Ohio G. A. f.. referring to
the coming national encampment at
Louisville. said that the members of the
GA. r. should commingle with the con-
federate veterans. not in a way to leave
the inference to rising generations that
there had been a quarrel between them
and the differences were mutually
mended by the agreement that both
were partially wrong and partly right,
but meet them as we did when the
battle was over, without Boosting or
exultation. Since the error has been
conceded and acknowledged we do not
desire to open healed ruptures nor to
ungallantly raise a question on that
line. As citizen soldiers and soldier
citizens of one common country,
with one flag and one interest, the
preservation of the United States of
America. let it be to our aim to main
tain the principles without concession,
but to forget the fight so far as indi-
viduals are concerned"

WASHINGTON, June 1.-THE promul-
CATION of a treasury department cir
cular, carrying into effect the joint
resolution of congress, exempting from
the operations of the alien contract
labor law all foreigners brought 70
this country by foreign exhibitors
or owners of concessions at the Cotton
States exposition at Atlanta, has called
attention to the results of a similar reso-
luton passed on behalf of the Chicago
worlds fair. Both resolutions author
lied such foreigners to remain in this
country one year after the close of the
exposition, but after the expiration of
that time. should they still remain in
this country, they were made subject
to all of the processes and penalties
applicable to aliens coming in viola
ton of the alien contract labor law.
In neither case, however, did congress
make any appropriation or provision
for the arrest and deportation of
such persons, and in the case
of the Chicago fair none were
ever apprehended or deported
The exact number who remained
in the country in violation of the law
is not known, but it is believed that
not more than three-fourths of the
whole number ever returned to the
country whence they came. Owing 10
the want of funds, the government
took no steps TO ascertain how many
remained, nor are they likely to do so
after the close of the Atlanta exposi-
ton. The necessary result will be that
many foreigners will take this oppor-
tunity TO come to the United States
with the intention of remaining, know
ing that congress has made no provision
for their Ceuortation.

are contrary to the provisions of see
