ANOTHER CLAIMANT.
A Deserted Graudchild of the Rich
Senator Fair Appears.

SAN FRANCISCO, March 21.-The Ex-
aminer announces the discovery of a
granddaughter of James G. Fair, who
may play an important part in the litiga-
ton over the late milliOnaire's estate.
The child is about five years old
and is the daughter of James Fair,
the ex-senator's eldest son, and Mary
Ellen LaUpman, who, it is asserted, was
probably married to young Fair in 1855
The child was left at an orphan asylum
and was adopted by Mrs. Charles Greg
DRY. 1t is believed that the knowledge
that this child was in existence impelled
the ex-senator to insert in his will the
clause relative to the claims of illegit
mate or legitimate, but not recognized
children, of his sons

The Delights Of Starting A Paper"

AuS OellShbs vi surfing a Gdper.
Few things are easier. Several
hundred pounds Of type, a stand or
two, can OF ink, hand-press, a
small room, and limited credit
at the ready print house, and the
paper can start.
Many country newspapers are
started without the capital OF a
dollar, and with even less ability
to conduct them. This would not
be a serious matter il the paper
appeared only one week, or two, or
even a month. But it has to keep
on appearing, and there is the rub.
Bills must be met, and printers
and rent must be paid.
Starting a paper is putting your
head in a halter. There is no trou-
BILE about getting it in; what will
worry you will be to get it out. 1t
is vastly easier for paper to start
than it is for it to stay. 1t is not
difficult to figure out success, but
calculations on a newspaper VEN
ture are often wOefully deceptive.
No newspaper has ever succeeded
without a liberal capital Of money
or brains, or both. Why printers
who have good paying positions
should continue to desert them for
perilous newspaper enterprises will
continue to remain a mystery.
There is no avocation which re-
Quires more resOurcefulness and
energy. Its gate is straight, and
its way narrow, and few there be
that find it.
The vast majority follow the
broad road which leads to failure.
Many a meritorious man has had
his hopes and fortunes wrecked by
starting a newspaper without
counting the cost.
Promises ofsupport, commercial,
political, or otherwise, or prejudice
against an existing institution, are
decisions and snares. There is
but one condition Of journalistic
success, and that is irresistible
pluck and fitness for the work.
Given these, and you may defy con-
ditiOns.-Missouri Editor.

TO BE .HEEDED NOW.
In the Spring You Are Always Run Down.
This Will Tell You Just What to
 Do For Yourself.
And Just Why You Should Follow Exactly | This Plan.

In the spring everybody needs to tbink about taking @ spring medicine. Not only is this a common practice, but very necessary and healthful one. It is a fact which physicians acknowledge and the people recognize generally. that spring tonic taken during the months of March, April and May is more conducive to the restoration of health, in cases of those who are sick, than any other course of treatment that could possibly be adopted.
 It is further understood by everybody that even for those who call themselves well, it is very important at this season of the year, if they would maintain good health and vigor. to take a spring remedy to strengthen and invigorate the nerves, tone up Ihe action of all the organs, and thus, by creating healthy condition of the nerves, blood, stomach, liver. kidneys and bowels, assist nature in the efforts she always makes in the spring to cleanse. purify and invigorate the system.
 In the spring there are great many and important changes going on in the body. Perfect health cannot be maintsined while the system is clogged and the organs slug gish, and the person has a languid and weakened feeling, with more or less ner- yousness and debility.
 Now in regard to what you should take. The best spring medicine, indorsed and recommended by physicians, druggists and the people, is Dr Greene's Nervura blood and nerve remedy. In proof of this. thousands of testimonials are being con. stantly published in the papers. The fol. lowing is from Mrs Etta Sumner of Good els, Mich.
 "I have been afflicted" she says, "with nervous debility for a year. My nerves were completely prostrated, and suffered at the slightest excitement, with great headache. At times was entirely over- come by this disease. I would stay in the house alone and despise the sight of my own people.
 My entire nervous system was shat tered, and my life was a worriment and burden to me. was advised to try Dl Greene's Nervura blood and nerve remedy and while on the first bottle, began tore cover. My friends were very much sur. prised.
Waterbury evening Democrat., 1895-03-07

Before had finished the second bot tie, I could sleep with a quiet mind, and eat with e ready and refreshing appetite. have taken three bottles and am entirely cured of all my sufferings. have found Dr Greene's nervura blood and nerve remedy to be exactly what it Is repre- scented.
 "I cannot speak half highly enough of it. I cheerfully and earnestly recommend it to everyone afflicted with disease. What gives people absolute confidence in it, is its being the discovery of one of our best known and most successful physicians"
 No remedy in the world is so sure to bring back bloom and color to the wan and faded cheeks. the brilliancy to the hollow and haggard eyes, the ightness and elasticity to the weak and weary steps. the strength and vitality to the un- strung, shattered and worn out nerves. It is indeed the greatest of ail spring medI- oines, for it makes the sick we'll and strong.
 It is not patent medicine, but the pre- scription of the most successful living specialist in curing nervous and chronic diseases, Dr Greene of 35 West 14th St, New York City. He has the largest prac- tics in the world, and this grand medical discovery is the result of his vast experi- ence. The great reputation of Dr Greene is guarantee that this medicine will cure. and that the fact that he can be consulted by anyone at any time free of charge, per- sonallY or by letter. gives absolute assuT- ance of the beneficial action of this won- derful medicine

A~f~N-A--
 OwEGo. N. Y, MarSl 5.-It is doubt full if the name of Thomas Collier Platt has ever before occupied as much space in tho newspapers of the state of New York as now, even in 1881, the year that he and the late Roscoe Conkling resigned from the United States senate. Outside the boundaries of this state he is not nearly so important figure as he was IA years ago, but inside he appears to be moro conspicu- ous than ever before.
 Here in owego, his old home, even his political opponents>arc proud of him. As Q matter of fact, his accomplishment has been something little short of the marvel ous. After his downfall in 1881 1t was freely predicted, by both friends and foes, that he would never rise again, and enough ridicule, personal and political, was heaped upon him to swamp a man of ordinary endurance a half dozen times over. But under 1t all he seemed never to wince. Hc just sawed wood" and now he has tho satisfaction of being able to point to the political graves of many of his old time enemies and the political friend ship of many more Just how he will como out of his present battle with Mayor Strong of New York it is hard to say, but there is no doubt that tho sage of Tioga will fight as long us he has any breath left.
 do not now recall any other man whC has attained to such power as that wieldel by MT. Platt without becoming personally much better known to the public than il he. By reason of the numerous caricaturei of his face his lineaments arc very wei known to the people, but were it not fo these pictorial representations he woulC be able to walk the streets of New Yorl almost as unrecognized as the verIes

AGREATFARCEWRTTER
Peculiarities of Thomas, Author
 of "Charley's Aunt"
IS A WARM ADMIRER OF IBsES.

Thomas Is Very Earnest Tn Everything He
 UndertaEcs-Some Amusing Anecdotes
 of the Great Author of Popular Farces.
 Several odd BIunders.
 Brandon Thomas is known to fame principally as tho author of that rip roar Ing and absurdly impossible farce, "Char- ley's Aunt" which has been translated into seven languages, The popular con ception of the man is that he is an individ- ual whose ideas of play do not rise above such incidents as falling over pieces of furniture and similar bits of horse play. As a matter of fact, the reverse is the case, for Mir. Thomas has very high ideals with regard to the drama. The mere mention of the word farce is enough to mako him angry. Ho declares that he has never written farce and has no in- tention of ever doing so. He claims that "Charley's Aunt" is not one, and that there is nothing in it that is impossible.
 His first attempt at dramatic authorship took place at the ago of 1s. His father. who, by the way, wrote that onco popular song, "A Real Old Irish Gentleman," for John Brougham of New York, had built model theater for tho amusement of his children and written for it a burlesque which he entitled "Bluebeard." This work at once aroused the dormant facul- ties of the preeoeious Brandon. Ho set to work and speedily evolved rival produc- tion, which he named "Redbeard.
 From his earliest years Thomas was fond of declaiming for which Inc has a natural aptitude, being an especial adept at dialect He even gave lectures sometimes. One evening he was reciting his favorite piece, "Ellen McJones Aberdeen" the one which gained for him his first engagement as an actor. It was at the home of Sir Albert Rollit, in Hull Mrs. Kendall, the we'll known actress, was present and was impressed by the evident ability displayed by the young man. A short time after ward ho received tho offer of a position in her company. Sandy McPibroch in "The Queon's Shilling" was the character in which he made his first bow to the public as professional He has had a very varied career as an actor and has travelled great deal For some tme he was a member of | one of the late Rosina Vokes' many com panies, which he accompanied on a tour through America.
 Whether acting or engaged with his later love, playwriting, Mir Thomas is d. ways exceedingly in earnest, throwing himself heart and soul into whatever he may be doing The many admirable pic
