Charming Fife Ellsler.

The newspapers are raving over Ellie Ellsler's Rosalind. One critic says It IS a pity Shakespeare cannot see her. and another declares she is the prettiest boy ever seen upon an American stage. This charming actress will be at OBriens opera house on Monday, October 2l, ap- bearing in "As You Like It." Fancy tour Effie' in legitimate roles. Fancy her in doublet and hose, singing the beauu- ful cookoo song in the historical forest of Arden. Run. run, Orlando, carve on every tree; the fair, the chaste. the unex- pressive she" Years ago, Effie Ellsler' under the tuition of her talented father was a Shakespearian student, and 1t IS almost a pity that Hazel Kirk robbed the stage of one who bade fair to be the Nelson of America. However, 1t IS not too late. The little woman is still young and has lost none of her chic. Pernaps she has gained power, and we trust there are many years of triumph yet before her. This season she carries quite large company many of whom are qual- filed to render the beautiful musac so often omitted from Shakespeare's com edies. MT.

Our own Dr Depew says that banker in London told him that 100 men there had pocketed $500, 00O.o GOO in the past year in selling these stocks.

Birmingham merchants are doing a good business.
Birmingham state herald., 1895-10-18

The Gadsden Times News, a decided administration paper, has strong and good tempered article on the currency. It says bimetaliism is the one thing da- sired to be perpetuated. and suggests as a compromise the coinage of gold and sill yer until the per capita reaches $40 or $50. Many advocates of free coinage believe that were the hints open to silver the same as gold that 1t would take more than forty years to acquire per capita Of $40. We have now about s14 per capita of gold and silver combined. about s7 of each. If the United States could acquire the entire product of silver of the world and coin 1t into moDey (less that used for arts) 1t would take the worlds product for about forty years to give us $40 per capita of silver. The hopeful thing about this is to see newspapers like the Times News showing a disposition to treat this question so fairly. There are few free coinage men who would not be entirely content with per capita of $50 in gold and silver as full legal tender primary money.

Letters Five hundred years old.

Ancient specimens of letters are
shown in the Hof museum at Vienna.
One is dated 1896. 1t consists of a large
sheet of ribbed white paper folded in
three. A band of paper was passed
round the outside and through slit in
one edge, being then fastened with soft
wax. A small piece of thin paper was
laid on the wax and the seal pressed on
the paper, not directly on the wax. A
somewhat similar arrangement is found
in letter of the year 1446, which was
written by the town counselor of Mu-
mich to the burgomaster of Rastenburg
in the Tyrol, in order to obtain informa-
ton concerning a man accused of big
amy In the sixteenth century people
in the Tyrol and Bavaria used bands of
vellum or cords, fastened with wax.
Later came separate round and oblong
waters. The use of the enciroling band
continued in Austria generally to 1850,
Or thereabout, and probably reached this
century among conservative people. The
first envelope of the modern type in this
collection belongs to the year 17l5.

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 a durable
disease. Not every case, but large per-
eenfage Of fdSeS, and we believe, /4lIy o5
per cent. are cured by Dr. Pierce's Colder
Medical Discovery, even after the disease
has progressed so far as to induce repeated
oleedings from the lungs, severe lingering
cough with copious expectoration (includ-
ing tubercular natter, great loss of flesh
and extreme efnaciation and weakness.
Do you doubt that hundreds of such cases
reported to us as cured by Golden Med
ical Discovery were genuine cases of that
dread and fatal disease? You need not take
our word for it. They have, in nearly every
instance, been SO pronounced by the best
and most experienced home physicians,
who have no interest whatever in mis-
representing them, and who were often
strongly prejudiced and advised against
a trial of Golden Medical Discovery,
but who have been forced to confess that
it surpasses, in curative power over this
fatal malady, all other medicines with
which they are acquainted. Nasty cod
liver oil and its filthy emulsions" and
mixtures, had been tried in nearly all these
cases and had either utterly failed to bene-
fit, or had only seemed to benefit little for
a short time. Extract of malt whiskey,
and various preparations of the hypophos-
phites had also been faithfully tried in vain.
The photographs of large number of
those cured of consumption, bronchitis,
lingering coughs, asthma. chronic nasal
catarrh and kindred maladies, have been
skillfully reproduced in a book of 100
pages which will be mailed to you, on re-
ceipt of address and six cents in stamps

A WOMIAN'S HEART.
ONE DISEASE THAT BATTLES

The Story of Woman Who Suffered

Cured,

The Story of a Woman Who Suffered

Valyular disease of the heart has al
ways been considered incurable. The
following interview therefore will interest
the medical profession since it describes
the successful use of a new treatment for
this disease. The patient is Mrs. George
Archer OF Clifton, N. j., and this publi-
cation BY the News is the first mention
made OF the case by any newspaper. All
physicians consulted pronounced the
patient suffering with valyular disease
of the heart and treated her without the
| slightest relief. Mrs. Archer said: az
could not walk across the floor; neither
could go up stairs without stopping to
let the pain in my chest and left arm
cease. felt an awful construction about
my arm and chest as though l were tied
with ropes. Then there was a terrible
noise at my right ear like the labored
breathing of some great animal. have

ture at my side.

II was at Springfield, Mass, visiting
and my mother showed me an account
in the Sprsngfe Examiner, telling of
the wonderful cures effected by the use
of DR.. Williams Pink Pills for Pale Peo-
pie. My mother urged me to try the
pills and on Novem Der 25th last bought
box and began taking them, and have
taken them ever since, except for short
interval. The first box did not seem to
benefit me, but persevered encouraged
by the requests of my relatives. After

tirely. / kept right on and the distress
that used to feel in my chest and arm
gradually disappeared. The blood has
returned to my face, lips and ears, which
were entirely devoid OF color, and I feel
well and strong again.
My son, too, had been troubled with
gastritis and | induced him to try the
Pink Pills with great benefit. Ifeel that
everybody ought to know of my wonder

to the public as an unfailing blood

How to Insure Peaceful and Refreshing
Slumber and Sweet Mouth.
A warm bath, light lunch and q
clean mouth before retiring are good
things to take. They promote sleep and
"clean" tongue in the morning. What
this lunch should be the consumer must
decide. The juice of a couple of oranges.
half grape fruit, cup of tea with
dry toast, sandwich and glass of ale,
cup of hot bouillon, biscuit and a glass
OF sherry, crackers with milk and vicby,
or bowl of bread and milk is the
choice of as many different people, all
healthy and handsome.
The best thing in the morning after a
cold plunge or sponge bath is cup of
hot tea or coffee with little lemon
juice The earlier this draft is taken
the better. 1t should precede the break
fast by at least half an hour. This is
prime for the alimentary canal. It is a
comfort to the stomach, and puts the
digestive organs in order. A cup of hot
milk is also prescribed, and even hot
water the first thing in the morning is
not bad. For anything but the abusive
cup of cold water the poor stomach will
be grateful. Ii an appetite for breakfast
is wanted, and the time permits, take
walk to the corner, alone, inhaling and
forcibly exhaling the air through the
nostrils. No $40 cure in therapeutics
can compare with this. -New York

A HOUSE. N a FRET.

Let the mother become sick and helpless
and the house is all in disorder. When
both father and mother are down. you may
as well close the shutters. Order is brought
out of chaos often very easily, and Mrs
Jehn Malin Of South Butte, Mont, Febru-
ary II, 1898, found an easy way out of her
difficulties, as she writes thus: My hus
band and took very bad rheumatism from
S, we're colds, and my arms were SO lame /
could not raise them to help myself. Isent
at once for a bottle of st. Jacobs Oil, and
before the bottle was half empty l could
go about my work. My husbandd became
SO lame he could not get out of bed. Two
and half bottles completely cured him. /
Will always praise st. Jacobs Oil, and you
may use this as you see fit" This is clear
case of what is best at the right moment,
and how every HOUSEHOLD can be made
happy where pain abounds.

AS matter of useful information il
may be stated that whenever cooking
receipt calls for baking powder the
Royal " should be used. The receipt
will be found to work better and surer.
and the bread, biscuit, rolls, cakes,
dumplings, crusts, puddings, crullers or
whatever made will be produced sweeter,
lighter, finer favored, more dainty, pal
atable and wholesome. Besides the
" Royal" will go further or has greater
leavening power, and is therefore more
economical than any other powder.
Many receipts as published still call
for cream of tartar and soda, the old
fashioned way of raising. Modern cook
ing and expert cooks do not sanction this
old way. In all such receipts the ROYAL
Baking Powder should be substituted
without fail.
The greatest adopts in the culinary
art are particular to use the Royal only,
and the authors of the most popular
cook books and the teachers of the sue
cessful cooking schools, with whom the
best results are imperative, are careful
to impress their readers and pupils with
the Importance of its exclusive employ
ment.
The Royal Baking Powder is the great
est help of modern times to perfect cook
ing, and every receipt requiring quick
raising ingredient should embody it.

The firm of e. L. G. Steele s. Co. of San
Francisco secured by su cessjon the prop.
lerty in trade mark known as Diamond
b" which had been patented in 1871 by @.
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 1883 The sales of
the tea had fallen off so heavily that the
firm set an inquiry afoot and discovered
that Lievre, Prick & Co. of San Francisco
were selling aspurious tea under that brand.
II. L. G. Steele & 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.. q.
Steele d Co. brought an action against the
same firm, alleging infringement and de-
handing $4,000 damages. All honest deal
ers who have built up business on fair
dealing will lend their moral support to the
punishment of all such rascality as this.
Men who confess their own lack of ability
by endeavoring dishonesty to prosper at
the expense of more worthy and successful
men, and at the same time defraud the
community, are enemies of the community
and OF all honest merchants. e. L. G.
Steele O. Co. have always been ole of the
sound and trustworthy institutions of San
Francisco, and SO long as they had fair
held they could not do otherwise than pros
per. A stab in the back, however, is form
OF competition in which their integrity
does not permit them to embark, and their
only recourse is expensive and annoying
litigation toprotect themselves.

How to Clean OIL Paintings.

If oil paintings have been soiled or fly
specked, they may be cleaned by wiping
them off with cloth dampened with warm
water. Do not use soap and do not rub
hard, but careful washing will brighten
the colors without harming the paint in
the least.
