A MIRACLE in TEXAS.
Investigated by the Texas Christian Ad-
vocate, and Vouched for by DR..
c. H. Stansbury.
lFrOm the Terds Christian Advocate. !

Our representative has made a careful
investigation of the H. E. Spaulding case
at Longview, which is here published
for the first time, and which will be read
with great interest by medical men
everywhere. In reply to the Christian
Aduocate's questions Mr.. Spaulding said :
About eight years ago while running a
locomotive l contracted sciatic rheuma-
tism in my left side from my hip down.
1t came on slow but sure and in a few
months | lost control entirely OF that
member, 1t was just the same as il it was
paralyzed, was totally unable to move
out OF my room for year and half, six
months of which time was bed-ridden.

regular physicians in constant attend
ance on me. was bundled up and sent
to Hot Springs where l spent three
months under the treatment OF the most
eminent specialists, all of which did me
no good, and l came back from the
springs in worse condition than when
/ went. / came home and laid fiat on
my back and suffered the most excru-
ciating agonies, screaming in pain every
the only ease obtained being from the
constant use of opiates. After three
months Of this kind Of agony, during
which time my entire left leg perished
away to the very bone, my attention
was called to new remedy called DR..
Williams Pink Pills for Pale People, by
Mr.. Allison who is now train dispatcher
at. Texarkaua, and who was relieved OF
locomotor ataxia of twenty years dura-
ton. At his urgent and repeated solici.
tation l consented to give them trial,
after taxing few doses l began to i'm.
prove. continued taking the pills and
kept right on improving until l was
finally cured. My leg is just the same
size now as the other one, and am sure
that Pink Pills not only cured me but
. saved my life.
The reporter next visited DIR. G. H
Stansbury, graduated Of one OF the med
ical schools of Kentucky, and a mar
who enjoys the confidence of everybody
in Longview. He said: II know tina

SARCEYS FAMOUS DUEL.
The Noted Partisan Critics Own Story Of
the Encounter.


the Encounter.
At this moment appears gentleman
whom all Paris knows and almost all
Parisians adore-namely, Francisque
Sarcey. Knowing himself to be among
friends, he talked freely. For hale
century nearly our great critic has held
the pen, at first timidly, and now he
Yields it with unquestioned authority.
Like most Partisan celebrities, he was
born in the provinces, at Dourdan,
where his father kept school after tho
fall of the first Napoleon dissolved the
army in which the elder Sarcey had in
sisted on enlisting in spite of his excess
i've nearsightedness, transmitted to his
son. There Sarcey's parents toiled with
varying fortunes, and thence Francisqne
took his flight for Paris and walked
firmly in the footprints Of tho late Jules
Janin, who also devoted his life to
dramatic criticism. He makes an idol of
the drama. He lives for his work. He re-
spectfully considers dramatic criticism
an art and not trade, and perhaps for
that reason is the greatest critical au-
thority in France.
He told US of his duel with Hector
Pessard, the musical critic and comic
opera composer, who is very charming
man, by tho way. Sarcey, in 1865,
wrote scathing attack on Girardin's
paper, La Liberte. Emile de Girardin
objected on principle to duels, SO the
editorial staff, considering their literary
style insulted by Sarcey, drew lots as to
who would call him out and kill him if
possible. The lot fell on Pessard. Now,
Pessard and Sarcey were great friends.
but it was necessary to obey the call of
honor, so Pessard sent the challenge,
which Sarcey accepted with dignity.
The adversaries took off their coats and
vests and faced each other, swords in
hand, when, lol the four seconds took to
squabbling over some detail. The dis
pute was long and ferocious, and the
two adversaries fell into conversation,
sword in band.
Quoth Pessard-I am frozen. Would
you mind if l put on my coatp
Sarcey-A good idea. We can kill
each other later
Pessard-Let me tell you, my dear
Sarcey, how greatly admire your tai
ent.
Sarcey-I can say the same to you,
but why arc we going to kill each otheri
Pessard--I don't quite know. II
seems you grossly insulted me, and if ]
do not succeed in killing you that you
must certainly Stay me in expiration.
Sarcey (meditatively)-I do not re.
member having insulted you, but if you
say SO / suppose it is true.
In the meantime the four seconds
were quarreling furiously. One gentle
man was shaking his fist in his oppo
nent's face and another was brandish
ing his riding whip, whereupon Sarcey
suddenly burst out laughing and said:
Come, Pessard, let US separate on,
seconds, and then, instead of cuttinl
each others threats, we will go ant
have some breakfast.
Which was no sooner said than done
, and tho two duelists have been fas
friends ever since. Paris Letter il

When the story Of the nineteenth Gen.
fury is written, it will be found that it is
chiefly in the last third that the most as
tonishing steps forward have been taken,
the first portion showing rather the lay
ing of foundations for progress than
marked features of the thing itself.
1t is not alone telephone and telegraph
and electricity harnessed in hundred
forms to the use of man, but earth itself
has joined with air and all subtle forces
to yield, from hitherto unknown re-
sources, a myriad aids to easier living.
Petroleum began it, and in the search
for oil many another mystery disclosed
itself. 1t was plain that earth held in
hiding not only many form of light,
heat and color, but purifying agents,
thus far known only to the working
chemist, and first and chief among these
came borax, till the beginning of the
present generation rare and costly, and
used only by blacksmiths in welding
steel and occasionally in medicine

The recent letter from the Judge Of
Awards ON Baking Powders at the
Chicago Worlds Fair, exposing the
falsity Of the claim of Chicago house
that its baking powder had received
the highest award for strength, purity,
excellence, ETC., is scathing rebuke to
those manufacturers of inferior baking
powders who have no regard for the
truth, but habitually seek, in their public
announcements, to deceive consumers.
The Judge of Awards states that no
such award was given to the Chicago
concern, and has notified it that it
must cease publishing his name in con-
nection with its false statements.

The firm of e. l.. G. Steele & Co., of San
Francisco, secured by succession the prop
erty in trade mark known as Diamond
L." which had been patented in 1871 by G.
Adolph Low & Co. Under that brand and
trade mark E. L. G. Steele & Co. had sold a
tea which had become known far and wide
for its excellence and in which they had
built up heavy trade. In 1888 the sales of
the tea had fallen off so heavily that the
firm set an inquiry afoot, and discovered
that Lievre, Prick q Co., of San Francisco,
were selling spurious tea under that brand
e. l.. G. Steele Il Co. compelled them to
confess and to promise not to repeat the Of
Tense. They appear not to have kept their
agreement, however, as this week E. l.. g.
Steele & Co. brought an action against the
same firm, alleging Infringement and de-
handing $4,000 damages. All honest deal

WILD FIRES.

The devastation and suffering caused by
the flames of the wild prairie and forest
fires in the West, last summer, has hor-
riblc detail in the loss of life and destruc-
ton of property. Men, women and chill
dren, by scores, choked by smoke and
roasted alive their homes destroyed, and
hundreds manned and crippled. 1t is pain
full to contemplate, but still important and
charitable to make it kr own that st. Jacob
Oil, used according to directions, is one of
the best cures for burns and scalds, and
should be kept on hand. There is no house

HIS SWEET REVENGE,

pay the Offender,


A story with a moral is told me by a
friend from Bloomington, Ind. That
pretty little university town numbers
among its notabilities not only the col
leSe professors, but another professor
also, whose accomplishment lies not in
the direction of human education. /
mean genial Henry Gentry, known
wherever there are little and big chill
dren, who like to see his performing dogs
and ponies. Professor Gentry was a very
poor boy. which was no dishonor, but
still much against him in the race of
life. During the last few years he has
made fortune l am afraid to say how
much, but it must be up in the hundred
thousands. Ten years ago he was still
struggling to make living for himself
and his parents, and very often 1t was
hard enough. And thereby hangs my
tale.
Every one knows how difficult it was
for business men to keep heads above
water during the hard times and what
a serious matter it was to obtain money,
but Gentry had plenty Of it all through
and is said to have helped more than
one man over the stepping stones.
One Gay very prominent business
man of his own was caught short and
needed IS, 900 to see him through. He
had property and values, but no money.
He went to the bank and asked for a
loan, but was suavelv told that the bank
had it not. Just as the conversation
was going ON Henry Gentry happened
topass the bank, and the banker remark
ed, There's only one man in town who
has that much cash, and maybe he'll
lend it to you" He pointed to Gentry.
The business man took the hint, step.

Gentry, and after very complimentary
talk on his success preached his request.
Gentry turned full upon him and re.

who came into your store at one time
trying to buy pair Of shoes ON trust
Do you remember how you kicked him

The talents of parrots have. we read,
Just been turned III new direction by
the authorities of a French town. 1t has
hitherto been the habit to more or less
fritter away the intellectual force of par.
rots by merely teaching them to say
naughty or witty things or to use such
expressions as pretty Poll" or "Poor
fellow" The municipal authorities of
the town referred to have, perhaps the
future will prove, opened up a wider
field OF action for the parrot. The poor
box at the town hall, it seems, had for
a long time past been in condition of
chronic emptiness, which did not reflect
much credit on the charitable feelings
of the inhabitants To remind them of
their duty toward their poorer neigh.

DIR. Vaughn Discovers the Butter Secret.

Dr. vaughn discovers the Butter secret.
DR.. Vaughn's greatest discovery Is ono
of which the world knows nothing. Aft
er series Of long investigations and ex-
periments he discovered and developed
the alkaloid which, being created in
cream or milk by churning, produces
butter, and he has been invited to make
exhibition at the Worlds fair of the re-
suits Of these experiments. He will take
a bottle or can of fresh milk, place in it
some Of these alkaloids, and it will i'm
mediately develop butter as perfect and
as healthful as that which comes from
churning. 1t is discovery in which
there is nothing of a pecuniary value tc
DR.. Vaughn, for it is simply discovery
of one of the mysteries of nature. But
in it's way it is regarded r. scientific men
asquite as important as were the microbe
discoveries of Pasteur and Virchow.-
