When the blood is full of the germs
of disease, and lacking in the red cor

fails to properly nourish the organs
and tissues of the body, what can you
expect but that tired feeling and ncr-

OF course Scrofula, Salt Rhcum,
Catarrh and Rheumatism are uni
versally recognized as blood diseases,
for which Hoods Sarsaparilla, as the

acknowlcd the greatest remedy.
Therefore, as Hoods Sarsaparilla
cures all blood diseases, it is the best
remedy for that condition OF the blood
which causes Nervousness.
1t is q false idea to think you ara

SENATOR LUcTEN BAKERS recent ex-

question is already subjecting him to
the attacks of the gold standard organs

and demagoguery. No public man who
happens to differ in his views from this
small coterie OF cuckoos can hope to
escape their abuse. The Kansas City

tor in a half coIum1 editorial from which
the following is an extract: mo one

In her earliest teens she was thor

age OF 10. Her cousin, Thomas Nelson

" A Brother to Dragons, was published
IL The Atlantic Monthly and was re-
garded as a remarkable effort. In 1886
Lippincott's Magazine brought out 1.-The

be the literary sensation of the year.
The book was a whirlwind of passion
and caused as much talk as the late pop

All manner Of stories, many of them
false or exaggerated, of the young au-

her work was in extraordinary demand.

Pleased by the fnrore she had caused,

AMELIE RIvEs CHANDLER.

The Famous Noye1ist's Career, Her Divorce
and Her Numerous Eccentricities
The recent divorce secured by Amelie
Rives Chanler zrom her husband, John
Armstrong Chanler, upon the ground of
incompatibility of temper, was quite a
surprise to the literary world, but had
long been anticipated in fashionable
New York and Virginia society. Friends
and relatives of the couple were aware
that they had not lived together for two
years and surmised that it would be
only matter of short time before the
intensely practical lawyer and the ro-
mantle, imaginative, impractical and
somewhat affected novelist would agree
to disagree according to law. Her love
of startling effects was one reason, it is
said, that led to the arrangement. In
Paris she always insisted upon being
attended by very large, very fat and
very black negress.
Her everyday life. it is averred by
her society friends, was fully as star
Ting and sensational as her books. the
best known of which is 1.-THE Quick Or
the Dead?" novel said to have been
founded upon the courtship of the au-

was nothing commonplace about her,
nothing ordinary. She was always the
eccentric young genius, fascinating to
the occasional beholder because of her
originality and piquancy, but a tride
wearying perhaps to those constantly
and intimately associated with her.
Amelie Rives began life under very
favorable auspices and has always been
the child of wealth, culture and refine
ment. Her grandfather was William
Cabell Rives, United States senator and
minister to Franco. Her father was
Colonel Alfred Landon Rives, a civil
engineer, born in Paris and godchild of
Lafayette, and her mother was Miss
MacMurdo, a granddaughter of Bishop
Moore of Virginia. Amelie was born in
Richmond in 1868, and her early years
were passed with her grandfather at
Castle Hill in Albemarle county, Vir-
ginia. She never went to school, but
was guided in her eager quest of knowl-
edge by governesses. She was a strange

she shrank from entering the pulpit.
She even married, hoping that the still,

Finally she told her husband that she
felt irresistibly impelled to save souls.
At first he strongly objected to the idea,
but he now declares that her course is
the only one she could conscientiously
pursue. Her revival work has thus far
been confined to Georgia and South Car

THE gold standard organs all over the
country have been informing their read
ers that the Farmers National congress,
which met recently at Atlanta, gave a
knock out blow to the cause of silver.
They have carefully refrained, however,
from publishing the resolution which
was passed by that body relative to the
silver question. If they had printed the
resolution the editorials must necessarily
have remained unwritten. Following is
the resolution:
Resolved. That we favor the free and
unlimited coinage of both silver and gold
at an agreed ratio guarded by an i'm port
duty upon foreign bullion and foreign
coin equal TO the difference between the
bullion value and the coinage value of
the metal at the date Of importation,
whenever the bullion value of the metal
is less than its coin value

tional agreement was defeated. If the
gold standard organs had published the
truth about this matter thsy. would have

islands, and it said they maintain a
hostile attitude toward the government
in hope that some complication may
bring about the seizure of the republic
by Japan. The situation may soon call
for action on the part of the United
States, according to Minister Castle.
The present Hawaiian minister is the
son of missionary and was born on one
of the islands. His education was fin
ished in this country, and he studied
law with the firm of ex-senator Evarts
in New York. After practicing in the
metropolis for a time, during which he
occupied a subordinate position III the
corporation counsel's Office, he removed
to Hawaii, where he became president
of the board of education and attorney
general during the reign Of King Kala-
kaua. He took part in the revolution of
1887 and was also prominent i'll the re-
sort to arms when Queen Liliuokalani
was deposed in 1898.
He assisted in the formation of the
provisional government and was one of
the five commissioners who came to the
United States and negotiated a treaty Of
annexation with President Harrison,
which treaty was afterward withdrawn
from the senate by President Cleveland.
It is said that Minister Castle will
resign about Dec. and be succeeded at
Washington by Frank Hatch, Hawaiian
minister Of foreign affairs.
