What the Editor Heard.
ASTORY FROM CAYUGA CO.. my.
Gilas Penmel1, Of Miles, N. ", Tells Of a
Miracle OF the Nineteenth
Century.


(Erona the Cuy"gG Co., ~ Y, independently
Hearing through Messrs. Allen & Burch,
druggists of Niles, that Mr.. Sias z. PEN
nell, respected citizen of that town had
been cured Of bad case of sciatic rheuma-
tism by the use of Dr. Williams Pink Pills
for Pale People, the editor of the Cayuga
County Iadependent determined to know
the truth Of the matter and went out to
Niles. Mr.. Pennell is a farmer and has a
neat and comfortable home near Niles. We
asked Mr.. Pennell if it was true that he had
been cured of bad case of rheumatism by
DIR. Williams Pink Pills. He said that
three years ago in August 1891, he was
seized with severe pains in the hip, just
where the sciatic nerve is, which gradually
ran down his leg making life misery to
him but not preventing him from doing
some work on the farm. Soon after he was
loading hay when he slipped off the load
and hit his hip on the wheel. After this
he was worse, suffering great agony, and
for some time was unable to do any work.
He took such medicines as his physician
prescribed and improved somewhat SO that
he could help some around the farm again.
About Thanksgiving time he was helping to
put away some barrels of cider which he had
made when he strained himself and again
became helpless. He then tried another
physician who felt confident of curing him
Dy the use OF the electric battery ana med1-
cines which he prescribed. But failure was
the result, he got no better and another
physician was tried and treated him for
some time. BY this time his whole body
was affected. Sharp pains would start in
his hand or foot, run up one side of his
body, over his shoulders and then down the
other side and then pass off for short time.
These pains would return regularly, affect
ing his whole boCy, and nothing seemed to
relieve him and ne began TO despair Of ever
being well. In the spring of 1892 a relative
in another county read Of q case very SINH
lar to Mr.. Pencils, which had been cured
by Pink P ills, and sent the article to him,
asking if it did not suit his case 1t was
very similar and he determined to try them
He commenced taking Pink Pills and soon
felt better, the pains became less violent
with longer intervals between them He
felt encouraged and persevered in their use
and soon became able 10 work on the farm,
and in April or May he felt so free from
pain that he considered himself well man
again. He says be has probably taken 20
boxes and able to do as good DAYS work as
any other man, and we can say that he
looks like a hale and hearty man who had
never known sicknes
DR.. Williams Pink Pills contain all the
elements necessary to give new life and rich
ness to the blood and restore shattered nerves.
They are for sale by all druggists. or NAV be
had by mail from DIR. Williams Medicine
Company, Schenectady, n Y, for SOC. per
box, or six boxes for $3.50.

SLLHER IN MEXICO.

A balance between the advantages
and Disadvantages of silver standard,
such as is struck by Mr.. Romero, the
Mexican minister. in The North Ameri-
can Review, cannot fail to be interes
ing reading. Mexico has no paper
money and never has had. She has lit
tie gold money. The disadvantage OF
the silver standard is that Mexican cur
rency is deprecated when it is used
abroad either to pay the interest on the
country's debt or to pay for foreign mer-
chandise. "Our gold obligations and
the price of foreign commodities are
nearly duplicated. That would hap
pen to us if the United States were to
adopt the silver standard On the other
hand, Mr.. Romero says, 1.-THE advan-
tages we derive from the use of silver
money are so great that think they
fully compensate if they do not over
come its disadvantages.
Under the steady silver regime Mr..
Romero Gell US h6AACO Las I0NCl b~9I
ness failures than other countries and
internal commerce has greatly develop
ed. Only one Mexican railroad has gone
into the hands of receiver. Mexico Is
not afflicted with what distresses all
the other countries at present-the low
price of agricultural products. Some of
these products have indeed risen in val
ne. Furthermore there is more stabil-
ity of prices, wages, rents, ETC.. than
the gold countries have. Mexico has
more ready money than other nations
have, and manufacturing of many kinds
is constantly and largely extending and
increasing.

He would be villain indeed who

nervous people like to get out into the

On the Fourth Of July Then, too, there
are fires innumerable. Houses are burn
ed down and often persons perish in the
terrible flames kindled by spark from
some boys fire cracker. If we could
only have the brilliant fireworks with
out the danger and without SO much
noisel If only SO many children were
not every year blinded, manned and
burned by the explosion Of powder
How many Of the boys that make Amer

Of our independence recall the fact that
the makers Of the finest, best, most
successful and most gorgeous fireworks
on the globe are the Chinese, who never

most downtrodden of all peoples?
We would not stop the Fourth of July
fireworks and gunpowder burning if we
could. But in addition to all this we
would have every year the Monroe doc

people along with the Declaration of In

We are at it again in the old way
borrowing money abroad and selling
American securities Or insecurities, as
the case may be, establishing new
enterprises with British capital and
starting out at laundering pace. The
prospect is that we shall go on for a
number of years again doing big bust
ness on promises to pay. Then, when
everybody has run into debt and no
body can lend his neighbor any more
money because he himself has to borrow,
crash we shall go again, and the whole
financial fabric will topple and tumble
over on us. just how many years it will
take before that crash comes will de-
pend on the vastness and recklessness of
our speculation. Meantime those indi-

METROPOLITAN BARBARIsM.
DisGracefu' Brutality and savsgery at the
Grave.

Grave.
The funeral OF Dr.. Buchanan, the wife
murderer, was revolving affair.
Crowds Of curious people in New York
vie we'd the body at the undertakers
shop, and attended the funeral. The
dead mans widow manifested the deep
est grief at the cemetery, but this did
not prevent the spectators from hootlng
in .der:sion, while the children in the
crnwo threw pebbles at the box contain
ing the coffin. The newspaper men
present took off their hats, but they were
The only persons besides Mrs. Buchanan
and her friends who respected the occa-
sion.
While there was little doubt of Buch-
anan's guilt, he was convicted on circum-
tial eveidence, and few believed in his
innocence. Among these was the Rev.
DR.. Halsey, of the Spring Street oresby-
terrain church, who said in his address at
the funeral
To-day our hearts go out in sympathy
with the good man Who was taken away
from us, for onr brother has been wrong
fully accused by ali unjust tribunal. Let
us bury with him the things that have
been said about his hard lot, and let US
strew MS grave with the flowers Of for
giveness."
The faithful love and loyal devotion
of an unhappy woman should have pro
tected her from Insult at the grave OF her
loved one, anu the authorities should
have kept the mob away. The incident
shows brutality and even savaeery dis
grace: ii in the extreme, when it is recol-
lected that all this occurred in one of the
great centers of our christian civilization.

DIAMOND THIEVES.
The Trick They Use to Circumvent the
Ever Watchful Dealers.

The Trick They Use to CircUmvent tie
Ever Watchfgl Dealers.
A diamond dealer recently Interview
ed gave some of his experiences as fol
lows "a few weeks ago a foreigner
came into my store and desired to see
rings. After choosing for long time he
picked out one valued at $16 He made
me a ridiculously low offer, which l
naturally refused He then desired to
see two other rings-one a sapphire and
the other diamond ring-exhibited in
the show window. While reached into
the window for them / observed in the
mirror on one side Of the window how
the stranger slipped away two rings,
each worth $3.50. l did not turn around,
bat went TO the door, opened and then
locked it. If / had turned around the
thief would have thrown pepper and
sand in my eyes and ran away with his
booty. A policeman was soon in the
place. The thief had the pepper and
sand ready for use in his band.
Another time thief dropped two
rings into his umbrella, and at another
time another slipped one into hole in
his glove A very common trick Of dia-
mond thieves is to ask to be shown loose
stones, which are thereupon handed to
him lying upon waiter. He breathes
upon them, and thereby seeks to get one
Or more into his month. Others study
the rings lying in the show window and
have one made exactly to pattern de-
scribed. The gold is good, but the Jewel

into the store and seek to exchange Their

HE LOST THE WIDOW.

Sad Experience Ct New York Farmer

Nobody Could Blame the Widow.

Nobody Could Blame the Widow.
The unfailing success of the green
goods circular among the rural tollers is
to many a source of astonlshmeEt. we
wonder why the farmer continues to
WELD to the old and oft exposed gold
brlcl swindle. We know not why he
cashes the check Of the bunko steerer,
nor why he mortgages his farm III sign
ing a note at the solicitation OF the WHY
lightning rod operator Yet III these EVIL
dences of verdant simplicity is he less
simple than IN his failure To understand
the conditions which determine matrl-
monial' happiness?
In Port Jervis recently an honest yeo-
man of Fosterdale who had come IN on
the train to meet the widow Of his
choice and lead her into the holy bonds
Of matrimony was thwarted in his en-
deavOr and held up to the scorn OF the
railroad waiting room through his
ignorance on this point. The widow
met him as per agreement, but instead
of those tender interchanges Of affection
WHICH were 10 nave DSSA pSCNOO
ceived a scornful rejection. The yeoman
of Fosterdale had omitted his weekly
shave, and he was sent back to his home
fearful and repentant by the angry wild
ow, who told him that he was too shah
by to be seen in her company, and that
she would have nothing to do with him.
1t is possible that two lives which
might otherwise have been happy have
been wrecked by this simple neglect Of
the amenities of courtship, but no one
can blame the widow for breaking off
the match. Nor can any one wonder
that the industries of the gold brick, and
the green goods circular, and the light
ming rod note, and the bunko steerer
flourish SO long as there are suitors who
think that they can win the hand of a
widow without even taking the trouble
to prepare themselves by clean shave
and general washup. Such cases are
hopeless and indicate that the popular
idea of a campaign Of education" is
needed in courtship quite as much as 10
