SENATOR PALMER ANSWERED,
Chairman Hinr,chsen Surprised at the
Change OF Base.

SPRINGFIELD, It'll, April y Mr.
H~inrichsen, Chairman of the Demo
State Central Committee, speak
ing of Senator Palmer's interview RI
garding the call for a convention 10
consider the monetary question, said
that, il he had not been assured 10 the
contrary, he would have said the in
terview was bogus. The position as
sumed by Senator Palmer was SO en-
tirely different from that of a few years
ago that MIR. Hinrichsen said he could
not understand it. That Senator Pal
mer or any other tru Democrat could
Oppose the submission to the people
of such a vital question, seemed TO
Hinrichson beyond belief. He vas
glad, however, that the discussion had
been opened up; it will give every
man a chance to stand up and be
counted. MIR. Hinrichseu says the
supposition that the gold men of the
party will be ruled out of the conven-
ton was entirely wrong. All shades
of Democracy have an equal show.
Mr.. Hinrichsen went on to say that in
1891 Representative Ferns introduced
a resolution IL the Illinois House of
Representatives instructing Illinois
United States Senators to vote for the
free coinage of silver. This resolution
was approved by Senator Palmer be-
fore it was introduced, and it received
the vote of every Democrat in the
House. This is the same Legislature
that elected Palmer.
Mr.. Hinrichsen added that the plan
of holding the convention meets with
general approval. The convention viii.

The Goulds Came to Terms

When Count Castellane traded hi:
coronet to Miss Anna Gould for So,
000, 000-(good trade "a council of the
Gould family was had. Anna was op.
posed to paying the 100000, pre-.

her W sweet self and for love un
warped by the filthy lucre. At this,
the old Marquis de Castellane, father
of the Count, danced around on his
a and was in for breaking off the
match, but the son said the affair had
gone too far to back out honorably.
The mother of the Count took a hand
in the deal and asked by cable:
"What settlement?n The Count ca.
bled back: Settlement fixed-s15,-
900 900 francs" This settled the mat.

had his eye on this point. 1t seems
that the marriages of the impecunious
princes of foreign countries with the
rich girls of America are based simply
an exchange of coronets on one
side and money on the other. A mere
barter and trade. Disgusting, You

"TAKEN IN"

"I used often to read the newspaper aloud
to my wife, {" said Bert Robinson, and once
1 was fairly taken in by patent medicine
advertisement. The seductive paragraph
began with modest account of the sea-
serpent, but ended by setting forth the viz
tues of DR.. Pierce's Golden Medical DiScov-
cry, which, it was alleged, was a cure for
all Bronchial, Throat and Lung troubles,
and would even cure Consumption, if taken
in time. The way was taken in was this ::
/ had lung disease, and / bought bottle
of the remedy; was a stranger to it, and it
took me inland cured me-" Robinson's
experience is identical with that of thou
sands of others. So true is this, that after
witnessing, for many years, the marvellous
cures of Bronchial Throat and Lung affec-
tons wrought by this wonderful remedy, its
manufacturers feel warranted in saying that
this wonderful remedy zOtI cure 0S per
cent. of all cases of consumption, if taken
in the earlier stages of the disease. This
may seem like bold assertion to those
familiar only with the means generally in
use for its treatment; as, nasty cod liver oil
and its filthy emulsions, extract of malt,
whiskey, different preparations of hypopoS-
phites and such like balifGtiuss.
Although by many believed to be incura-
Bile, there is the evidence of hundreds of
living witnesses to the fact that, in all its
earlier stages, consumption is durable
disease. Not every case, but large per-
cenkdge of cases.. and we believe, fully 90
per cent. are cured by DR.. Pierce's Golden
