NEW YORK CITY MERCHANT.
How His Lie Was Saved.
[From the New York City Catholic New

From the New York City Catholic Newsl
No one would think to look at
Richard b. Brown, commission mer-
chant, of No. 900 Washington street,
New York City, that for six weeks he
suffered in agony in his bed and that
physicians had said it was impossible
for him to regain his health.
But now he is back in his Office,
vigorous and hearty. He regards DIR.
David Kennedy's Favorite Remedy,
as the savior of his life. Mr.. Browns
story is remarkable.
For several years." said Mr. Brown
to reporter the other day, l suffer
ed from inflammation and liberation
of the bladder, a most stubborn dis.
ease. My family physician was un-
able to relieve me. AT the advice of
friends l consulted specialists, and
they all failed to do me any good. All
this time l was growing verse, and at
last l was compelled to take to my
bed.
"My mother in-law had heard of
DIR. Kennedy's Favorite Remedy, and
she asked me to give it trial / had
been confined to my bed for five
weeks and | admit that l didn't think
there was much chance of getting out
of 1t. Well, l tried Favorite Remedy.
There seemed to be change that
surprised me. In week l was able
to get out of bed and 60 around the
house, and in short time | recovered
completely. To-day I'm as well as
ever and, what's better yet, 1 feel that
i am permanently cured. l can work
sixteen hours day now, and not be
broken up bit To DR.. Kennedy's
Favorite Remedy is all the credit
due"
Favorite Remedy ranks, with the
medical profession, as the most per
feet of all blood and nerve medicines.
1t restores the liver to healthy con-
dition, and cures the worst cases of
constipation. 1t is certain cure for
all diseases peculiar to females, and
affords great protection from attacks
that originate in change of life. 1t
cures scrofula, salt rheum, rheuma-
tism, dyspepsia, all kidney, bladder
and urinary diseases, gravel, diabetes
and Bright's disease.
In this last disease it has cured
where all else failed. Any druggist
can supply it. ct.

School Appropriation.

The house education committee
recently reported with amendments
the bill introduced by Representative
Smith, of Bedford, relative to the dis.
triDution of the school appropriation.
The bill originally provided that half
OF the appropriation be given the
schools and the balance be distributed
on the basis of taxables. At this rate
each school would receive about $Ioo.
Phlladelphia's appropriation would be
scaled down over $4,000 and ALE
gheny about 100000. The bill was
amended so that one-third of the ap-
preparation goes direct to the schools
and the balance on the taxables. BY
this change Philadelphia loses about
$roo, 900 and Allegheny $4,000.
The purpose of the bill is to give
more money to the country districts.
The rural members claim that the
cities and boroughs have been getting
the lions share Of the appropriation.
The Seyfert bill requiring each school
district to raise by taxation a sum
equal to the State appropriation be,
tore 1t would be paid will also be
tavorably reported. The measure is
intended to prevent certain school dis
tricts from reducing school taxes in
proportion to the appropriation re-
ceived.

Another Problem.

The dismemDerment of the Chinese
Empire means great deal to the
working people of Europe and
America. The policy of that country
for thousands of years has been to ex-
clude any ideas of mechanical or
scientific progress. The breaking
down OF the dynasty and dsmember-
ment of the empire means that there
will be an influx Of foreigners, who
will carry with them the commercial
skill and appliances of the western
world. The eSta blishment Of great
factories and machine shops in China
will be but the work Of a few years.
and the wonderful cheapness of labor
will accelerate it with a rapidity I'M
heard Of Chinese cheap labor applied
to machines will produce articles tina t
can be sent to all parts Of the world in
compe tition, and this competition can
only be met by a reduction of the
wages paid to Americans and Euro
peans. While it may require gener-
alton for the Cinnamon to acquire the
skill that characterizes the Anglo
Saxon, the latter nevertheless have
to come down to the Chinese level OF
wages or nearly,so. The markets Of
the world for which all nations have
for centuries fought will then become
a myth. No longer can England be
the workshop of the world, nor Ameri-
can manufacturers scheme for the
foreign markets. Then the states
mcnship OF the United States, as at
present constituted, will endeavor to
meet this new crisis by high wall Of
protection instead of adopting a CO.
operative commonwealth in which
every man will receive the full results
of his labor which are worth just as
much to him, whether he receives 10
cents or a $1,000 per day. This
Chinese problem is one that the
statesmen of the world will have to
grapple with during the next eight Or
ten years.

a German traveller and naturalist des-
cribes a spectacle he once witnessed in the
savannahs of Izacudo, in Guiana, which he
well characterizes as "the most wonderful

Pittsburg Dispatch. I'VE were 10 men on

ferred to skirt the great forests. One of
the blacks who formed the vanguard re-
turned full galop and called to me-
. Here, sir, come and see serpents in a
pile!' He pointed out something elevated
in the middle of the savannah which ap-
peared like a bundle Of arms. One of my

BULLS
Occasionally Turn Their Horns on
Persons of High Degree.


Imitation being the sincereSt form of

processes such ardent admiration for
Mr.. Gladstone, should have followed the
latters example and got himself attacked
by an animal of the bovine species, says
the New York Recorder instead of it's
being COW. in the case of England S
grand old man, it was bull that assault

seems to have butted him SO seriously i'll

with the result that a ministerial crisis
has taken place at Cairo, Nubar being for
the time compelled to abandon the presi-
dency of the counsel of minister's.
He is a very stately, majestic and inn
posing parsonage over six feet in height,
and the picture which he must have pre-
sented while being chased by the bull could
not have been otherwise than extraordi-
nary. Mr.. Gladstone suffered no such
