The bank officials, becoming suspi-

missing teller's books, and it showed
that in the last year and a half he has

men in reply to questions addressed to
them. whether congress should send a
commission to Cuba to look into
the condition of affairs there.
They were also asked what,

In commenting editorially on the

be seen from the replies. there is a
strong sentiment in favor of the dis
patch of commission to Cuba, and
also in favor of recognizing
the belligerents' rights of the
insurgents as soon as it can
be done consistently. There are
only little handful of members adj
verse TO taking any action and there
were fifteen or more who were not yet
ready to express their views, but
the large majority of those ad-
dressed declare themselves strong
" in sympathy with Cuba

can be done without violating interna-

A PARALYTIC CURED.
His Grandfather. Revolutionary Soldier,
and His Father Both Died OF Paraiy-
sis, Yet the Third Generation
Is Cured-The Method.

From the Herald, Boston. lass.
Like a thunderbclt from a clear sky. a
stroke of paralysis came to Mr.. Frank I.
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
awol1e his left side was stiffened by the
deadening of the nerves.
The interviewer sought out Mr.. Ware to
get the facts. He gave the interesting par
ticuars in his own way:
1.-The first shock came very suddenly
while 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 BIZ work and drenched with rain, |
went home in a very nervous state. The
result was second and more severe shock,
after which my left arm and leg were prac-
tically helpless.
MY grandfather. who was a soldier in
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 i'll our family.
After the second shock | took warning, for,
in all probability, third would carry me
off.
almost everything under the sun was
recommended to me, and L tried all the
remedies that seemed likely to do any good,
electricity, massage and specialists, but TO
no effect.
'The only thing / found that helped me
was DIR. Williams Pink Pills. and L verify
believe that if it hadn't been for those pills
l would have been dead years ago.
"Nes, / still have slight reminder OF the
last attack six years ago. My left arm is
not as strong as the other and my left foot
drags little, as the paralysis had the effect
of deadenng the nerves. But l can still
walk a 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.
''The Pink Pills keep my blood in good
condition, and believe that is why ! am SO
well, although cheerfulness may help.
81 have thought of it great many times
and honestly believe that the Pink Pills
have saved my life"
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 retire 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
in his opinion both his father and GRANDPA
Their could have been saved if Pink Pills
had been obtainable at that time.

new life and richness TO the blood and re-
store shattered nerves. They may be had

WHALES LEAPS.
Gigantic Jumps Taken nv These Monsters

Gigantic Jumps Taken nv These Monsters
of the Deep.
speaking of jumping" said an old
seaman who had been watching some
boys playing leapfrog on the sands,
''let me tell you of the greatest jump
ever seen. 1t was many years ago.
when was little more than lad. but
was bow oarsman on a whale boat be-
longing to the ship Henry Staples.
We had had bad luck for several weeks,
when one day we sighted big whale,
and two boats set off in race to see
who would get there first. 1t was
fairly smooth, what the sailors call
white-cap breeze. and our boats fairly
flew over the water. Finally the
whale rose not one hundred yards
away. heading directly for us. The
harpooner stood with his iron all
ready to throw, while we grasped our
oars nervously, prepared to jump at
the word stern all that nearly al
ways came when a whale was har-
pooned. Not word was spoken, and
suddenly a mountain of black APP
peared; it seemed to shut off the entire
horizon. Up it went until distinctly
saw a seventy-foot whale over twenty
feet in the air lowering over us.
The mate was the first to regain
his senses, and gave the command
stern all just as we were ready to
spring overheard the boat shot back
several feet. and the next second the
gigantic animal dived into the ocean,
Just grazing us. having completely
passed over the boat in the biggest leap
l ever heard of. "
Such gigantic jumps are rare. A
similar one was recorded by DIR. Hall.
who at the time was a midshipman on
the ship Leander. They were lying in
the harbor of bermuda, when all hands
were attracted by the appearance of a
large whale that suddenly appeared
in the harbor and seemed very much
alarmed by the shallow water, floun-
dering about violently. The young
midshipman joined boats crew that
started in pursuit, and just as they
were about to strike the whale disap-
peared, sinking out of sight. leaving a
deep whirlpool, around which the boat
shot. Before it stopped up came the
whale, having in all probability struck
the bottom, and went into the air like
a rocket. so complete was this enor-
nous leap" said DIR. Hall, that for
an instant we saw him fairly up in the
air, in horizontal position, at a dis
tance of at least twenty perpendicular
feet over our heads. While in his
progress upward there was in his
spring some touch of the vivacity with
which a trout or salmon shoots out of
the water, but he fell back again in
the sea like huge log thrown on its
broadside, and with such laundering
crash as made all hands stare with as
constituent and the boldest held his
breath for time. Had he taken his
leap one minute sooner he would have
fallen plump on the boat"
Comparatively few people have seen
a large whale, but we can imagine
what an object an animal seventy feet
long and weighing as many tons would
make flying through the air.
Mr.. Scorsby, the famous whaler,
chronicles a number of incidents of
jumping among whales, some leaving
the water completely and rising twenty
or more feet into the air. -Philadelphia
