Treatment of Ecnema 9 nd salt Rheum

These two complaints are so tenacious that the readers of the Journal and Courier should know of the success obtained by using Dr. David Kennedy's Favorite Remedy. Where all other treatments have failed, it has made complete cure,
 Perhaps no more horrible case of Salt Rheum was ever reported than that ot Wll- bur l.. Hae quartermaster Pratt post, G' A. H., Rondout, N. Y. Several physicians utterly failed to render him any relief; finally one of the physicians suggested that Dr; kennedys Favorlte Remedy be tried, ana steady improvement followed its use, ana permanent cure resulted.
 It is used with similar success in cases of sorofula, nervousness, kidney and liver com plaints and in all diseases brought about py bad blood and shattered nerves.

Among the new features are the ballet of fools, both picturesque and humorous, terminating With grotesque acrobatic divertise- ment, "The Prize Winners" the Gee Nee acrobats in Chinese specialties, a most laughable diversion; several new dances, among them "The Rialto Swells" and "The Midgets" The ballet is composed of good dancers, and the solo artists, Adele Amore, Emilia Bar tolettit and Concettina Chitten, are re- tained. Among the character imper- senators are William Ruge as Chaos" Augustus Bruno as Toby" Jaguarine as Count Fortuno," and Miss Sadie Stephens as Carlos" Al w. Decker as "Andoche," Nera Vernon as Janet" Milded Holden as Madeline" and Miss Maud King as Crystalline" There will be matinee to-day as usual and the regular performance tonight.
 Not circus under a canvas, but a circus on the stage in midwnter, is what Manager Bunnell has secured for all next week. Not only has he secured some of the best artists of America, but also from Europe preparatory to their summer season with the leading circus es of this country. Foremost among them are the four Les Mayos from the Hippodrome Cirque d'Hivre, Paris in their marvellous fancy trick and novelty comedy skating act. Ladies and chill dren who wish to avoid the rush at night will have an opportunity of see- ing the Great European Circus Midwin- ter Carnival any afternoon except Mon- day, as matinees will be given daily at 2 o'clock.
 The announcement by Mir Bunnell of this special attraction for next week is awakening great interest about town among the thousands who greatly en- joy a capital vaudeville show. It Is a rare aggregation of talent. A cyclone of fun is booked for the week, intro- ducing the latest nove1ties-leapers jugglers, contortionists, trained anil mals, aerial acts and congress of nationalities.

That was an Interesting, not 10 say I'M
usual, decision handed down Saturday By
the Supreme Court OF North Carolina, in
the case OF Hall, who was charged with
shooting a man In Tennessee. According
to the newspaper reports sent out from
Raleigh. the accused shot the deceased
on the border line separating North Car
DINA and Tennessee. The victim OF the
homicide was, at the time of the shoot
ing. within the borders Of the latter State
The Supreme Court held that Hall was
constructively i'm Tennessee at the time
OF the shooting, and, therefore. not within
the jurisdiction of the courts Of North
Carolina. After this decision, the Cover
nor of Tennessee issued his requisition
for Hall, that he might be tried by the
courts Of the latter State.
The counsel for the defendant carried
the case to the Supreme Court on n writ
OF Habeas corpus. The latter tribunal or
dered the prisoners discharge, holding
that he was. in the eyes of the law,
constructively, but not actually, in
Tennessee when the fatal shot was fired,
and therefore, could not be a fugitive
from justice.
The case seems to have attracted con-
siderable attention.

Uppo. ell to an Educational Test.

Discussing the question of adopting a
constitutional educational test as a pre-
requisite to the right of suffrage. the
Norfolk Pilot says:
That crime against fair Democratic
government was accomplished in Missis-
Sippi. and what are the results: In the
last congressional election in November
IN the seven districts OF that great state
with 5000 men otherwise eligible TO
vote the aggregate of all the ballots
east for the list OF candidates Of all
parties was only % 790. These are but a
few more than the number of voters APP
portioned by Congress TO any Sing.e con-
gressional constituency throughout the
whole country. 1t is the shameful show
ing of how the educational qualification
disfranchises not only the illiterate, but
tntimidates and humiliates those who
feel their educational deficiencies and
rather lose their vote than expose their
inability to read and interpret the con-
stitution or other unfamiliar documents
that judges of election may thrust upon
them.
Nirginians do not want any such
scheme of disfranc basement. We have
too many men who lost the opportunities
Of education while fighting the South's
battles and too many of their sons who
have had to forego schooling since by
reason of poverty to permit such a stig-
ma TO be put upon them the educa-
tional qualification unquestionably works"

sUpERINrENDENr ByRNEs, CASE.

Strongly against our wishes we are COM
PEELED 10 admit that Or. Parkhurst has
made out MS case against Superintendent
Byrnes. We are sorry to think that so
capa BILE an officer as he has been party 10
or winking at the infamous state of things
prevailing in New York city's po-
lice department, but, after reading
we are constrained to reach this
conclusion. Mr.. Byrnes cannot es-
cape one horn or the other OF the
dilemma which DR.. Parkhurst offers
him. If he knew of the condition exist
ing in the police force prior 10 the oom-
mencement of the Senate committees in
vcstiGation and took no steps TO denounce
ana expose it or to correct il. he is as
bad as the worst of them. If, with his
opportunities as superintendent TO ac-
quire She knowledge. he failed TO learn
anything about il. his abilities as a po-
lice experimenting have been greatly
overrated. and New York can spare him
without suffering any loss. Our own view
of the matter is that public opinion will
impale Byrnes on the first fork He has
plenty of capacity. and he knew all about
what was going on. but it was TO his in
terest 10 keep quiet about it. DR.. Park
bursts statement that Byrnes has per-
sisently put every obstacle that he could
In his way while probing the vile condi-
lions OF the department satisfies US of
this. We think Byrnes will have TO go.

let US make brick and burn them thor
oughly. And they had brick for stone
and slime had they for mortar.
a. And they said. go TO. let us build us
a city and a tower. whose top may reach

lest we be scattered abroad upon the face

When all men were homogeneous and
spoke one language they used brick for

thought to bufld tower that would

But the Lord adjudged them to be fool
