A PARALYTIC CURED.
His Grandfather, Revolutionary Soldier,
and His Father Both Died OF ParaIy-
sis, Vet the Third Generation
Ia Cured-The Method.
From the Herald. Boston. Mass.

From the Herald. Boston. Mass.
Like a thunderbolt from clear sky, a
stroke of paralysis came to Mr.. Frank Il.
Ware, the well-known Boston auctioneer
and appraiser, at 235 Washington street.
He went to bed one night about six years
ago, seemingly in robust health. When he
awoke his left side was stifened by the
deadening of the nerves.
The interviewer sought out Mr.. Ware to
get the facts. He gave the interesting par
ticulars in his own way:
t"The first shock came very suddenly
while I was asleep, but it was not lasting in
its effects, and in a few weeks was able to
be about. A few months after, when ex-
hausted by work and drenched with rain, I
went home in a very nervous state. The
result was a second and more severe shock,
after which my left arm and leg were prac-
tically helpless.
the Revolutionary War, and lost an arm in
the struggle for American independence,
died finally of paralysis. My father also
died of paralysis, although it was compli-
Gated with other troubles. and so had some
knowledge of the fatal character of the dis
ease which is hereditary in our family.
After the second shock took warning, for,
in all probability, third would carry me
off.
0Almost everything under the sun was
recommended to me, and I tried all the
remedies that seemed likely to do any good,
electricity, massage and specialists, but to
no effect.
s'The only thing found that helped me
was DR.. Williams Pink Pills, and / verify
believe that if it hadn't been for those pills
would have been dead years ago..

last attack six years ago. My LETT arm IS
not as strong as the other and my left foot
drags a little, as the paralysis had the effect
of deadening the nerves. But | can still
walk good distance, talk as easily as ever,
and my general health is splendid. / am
really over seventy years old, although l
am generally taken to be twenty years
younger than that.

condition, and believe that is why am so
well. although cheerfulness may help.
ST have thought of it a great many times
and honestly believe that the Pink Pills
have saved my ife.''
Mr.. Ware has every appearance of per-
fectly healthy man, and arrives at his Office
promptly at eight o'clock every morning,
although he has reached an age when many
men Detire from active life. His experience
Is well known to a great many people in
Boston, where his constant cheerfulness
has won him hosts of friends. He says that

MORE REFORM.
Fourth Class Postmasters to he Put Under
Civil Service Rules.

Fourth-CIass Postmasters to he Put Under
Civil Service Rules.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 25. = Both the
post Office department and civil serv-
ice commission are taking great inter
est in the movement toward putting
the fourth-class postmasters under the
protection of the civil service laws It
is probable that before the end of this
administration action will be taken.
There are over 65, 900 fourth-class post
Offices in the country and the mum Der
is constantly increasing. OF these
some 10000 carry salaries of less
than $50 per annum, and at least half
are in places where there is much
greater difficulty in finding competent
and reliable person who is willing to
serve, than in choosing between com
petitors. It is obvious that there can
be no question of examination and GER
tification by the usual civil service
methods in these offices. Several plans
have been suggested and a com bina-
ton of them will probably be adopted.

TO FREE IRELAND.
The Meeting at Chicago Largely Attended

The Meeting at Chicago Largely Attended
-Finerty for Chafrman.
CHICAGO. Sept 25.-Hundreds of lead
Ing Irish-Americans from all parts of
the country gathered yesterday morn
ing in Y NJ. G. A. hall for the first of
the three days conference of the
friends of Ireland. In the hall, which
was crowded, the decorations were the
stars and stripes, interviewer with the
green and gold of Ireland. The
most conspicuous decoration was a full
length portrait of Ro bert Emmett, the
centenary of whose death in Dublin
may not unlikely be decided upon by
ton as historic as the death of
arrivals in the hall were
Mayor Fitzpatrick, of New Orleans;
Gen. NJ. w. Kerwin, ex-collector
of the port of New York. and William
Lyman. of the same city, treasurer of
the Irish National league. Shortly
afterward followed in the steady
stream of delegates: O'Neill Ryan, of
st. Louis; Maurice f. Wilhere, of Phil
adelphia; Judge Savage. of California;
G. w. Sweeney, of Cincinnati; James
Killilea, of Nashville, and others equal
ly we'll known.
The convention was called to order
by John j. OConn ell, of Chicago. chair
man of the committee of arrangements.
Mr.. O'Connel introduced as tempo
rary chairman ex-Congressman John
j. Finerty, of Chicago Then tele-
grams from Irish svmpathizers in all
parts of the world were read. Chair
man Finerty, in his address, called for
prompt and efficient action in behalf
of Ireland. He was frequently inter
rupted by the cheering of the dele
gates. Among other things the
speaker said: There are those who
fear that we may do something here
against the laws of the United States.
Our loyalty to the United States is
shown in the stars and stripes on our
platform here; but our loyalty is
a matter entirely independent of
and separate from the neutrality
laws. Although there be compar-
atively few Irishmen left in Ireland
to bear the blows of the oppressor,
there are 90, 900, 900 Irish in every part
of the world ready and anxious to
strike the blow that shall make the
old country free. We want to hear
the rebel yell at the gates of England
that rebel yell which, while it was
con fined to American soil, England
did so much to encourage and foster,
despite all the neutrality laws. Thus
far all agitation has seemed to be
hopeless against the treachery and de-
ceit of England. It is time now that
we try some other course, some course
that we can pursue sensibly, some
course that will have legitimate and
permanent ending, and which at the
same time will meet the oppression of
mankind. This is the purpose of this new
movement. We aim to consider the
Irish race in a sensible, aggressive
movement against the British empire
wherever we can strike her. In the
formation of plans for this work, gem
tlemen of the convention. the eyes of
the children of Ireland are upon you
from every part of the world"
