A reporter called, on Wednesday
evening, May 8, 1895, at the resi-
dence Of Mr.. William Mcmahon, No.
1858 Pearl street. Brooklyn village
(Cleveland), o., to learn, II possible,
the cause OF the noticeable I'm
provement In his physical condition
over that Of year ago, when he
was sufferer from indigestion and
various organic disorders. "You
see," began Mr.. Mcmahon, ITO start
with, my work-that OF settingtype
at the case-allows me little chance
for bodily exercise, and is alto
gether too conflning for anybody who
is In the least subject 10 indiges-
tion or dyspepsia. Perhaps not more
sothan many another mechanic or
artisan who Is constantly indoors and
under severe mental strain, while
the physical development Is sadly In
need Of something to keep II in
trim. Well, that has been my COM
plant for years, and some months
ago I became very bilious, and con.
stipation made lite miserable for
me at times. Then II took seat in
my LIVER, which became noticeably
inactive, and became alarmed
about It. The first thing turned
my attention to was to secure
liver regulator which, however,
failed to regulate; next sought
relief In liver pills. which SO panied
and griped me that the cure was, I
thought, worse than the disease.
The next thing I did was to throw
away the whole Shooting MATCH
and resolve to take no moro propri-
etory medicines. However, on
hearing my tale OF woe, one day, at
the Office, a fellow-workman offered
me a small Tabule-Ripans, he
called it-which, he said, he would
guarantee to act on the liver.
took 1t under protest, expecting to
be doubled up In about fifteen min
utes with the 'gnpes.' But 1 was
agreeably surprised In its action. It
was very gentle, and resolved to
try n box. Since then have gradu-
ally noted an entire change In tho
working Of my system, and think
that Ripans Tabules are the best
remedy for liver and stomach
troubles this side Of anywhere.
They are really substitute for
physical exercise. Have one before
you go?" And Mr.. Mcmahon pro-
duced his box OF "stand-bys" from
his inside pocket as the reporter
took his leave.

the price $50 cents o box) Ia sent to The Ri

NEWSPAPER ENTERPR1sE.

Not the least of the impressions left in the mind of the Northern visitors to the South is that made by the enterprise and energy displayed sby the Southern press. The mammoth editions gotten out by the two Chattanooga papers, the magnificent paper which came from the office of the Atlanta Constitution, the creditable trade number of the Mobile Register, all speak with voices that cannot fail to be heard of the determination of the South to push forward on every road that leads to sue cess.
 There is yet another feature about these extra numbers. Such a paper as last Sundays Constitution or the special number of the Chattanooga Times or News means not alone enterprise in the newspaper office, it means a solid support from the business men-a support which has made such an enterprise possible.
 From this very point the Southern press has been untiring in its efforts to make the exposition and the Chicka mauga opening success. Northern men have observed and commented upon these facts. The South today is the land of today, the eyes of the world are upon

------------ JAMES B. MACKlE.

James B. Mackie, the clever young comedian, has, 1t would seem, scored an immediate and substantial success as Billy Grimes, who owns the Cellar Door, in the bright, musical comedy, Grimes Cellar Door," This attraction is posi- lively one of the strongest in the field of musical comedy in America and will be the attraction at O'Brien's opera house Tuesday evening, September "A.
 The performance is said to be full of clean, wholesome fun from beginning to end, and every scene is marked by brisk action and some novel "business'' new to the stage is introduced in each of the three acts. MT. Mackie has used great care and judgment in selecting his large company, and each one is thorough art ist in his or her particular line. Miss Louise Sanford, the charming soubrette and vocalist, has been especially engaged as Pandora, the Goddess of Mischief. This is his sixth season, and he shall have nothing but the best on his trip to New Orleans and over the great northwestern country. He plays in all of the principal cities on the Northern Pacific railroad, taking in the states of Wisconsin, Mime sota North Dakota, Montana and Wash ington; also British Columbia and Ore gon to San Francisco; then back over the Union Pacific to Omaha, making the Cellar Door" famous from ocean to ocean. A first-class company, new cellar door, new hinges, new ideas and the old motto, Nothing succeeds like success"

A GALLERY GOD.

The Huntsville Tribune has to make faces at somebody, so it pays it's respects to that veteran editor, Maj. Wallace Screws, in the following paragraph, which for elegance of thought and chasteness of diction cannot be sur passed:
 off with his head! So much for sil- verloons, That's the way it is now with holders of federal office who dare 10 express convictions favoring the old fashion Democratic doctrine of bmetal- lism. But cuckoos like Papsucker Wal lace Screws of Montgomery, who is mak- ing honest Democrats of the Second dis tsict sick with his begging for more, is all right, all right
 It is not every paper that can distn- guish between journalism and undignified abuse. It is not the scholarly critic in the front row, but the street gamin in thesgal- lery who cries rats when the drama dis pleases him. Pass the peanuts to the Tribune, please.

B1t Spain Didn't Get It.

Spain has paid the Mora claim amount ing to about S1. 100000 and the squabble over its distribution has begun. The original claimant used this claim upon Spain as collateral and parceled it out in different sized slices to lawyers lob byists, money lenders and creditors, and these in turn did likewise with their pros pective shares of what Spain agreed to pay loLg years ago. Now there will be 8 general round up of claimants and counter claimants, and before the treas ury finishes disbursing the money pros pective fortunes will dwlndle and small shares will perhaps, entirely disappear. for the dilatoriness of red tape regula- tions has now added to it fierce contests between those who claim to be rightful owners of the prize.-Nashville Ameri- can.

IN NEW YORK.

It is "Mr." Platt now, Mr. Platt who manages conventions with neatness and dispatch, oils the machinery and greases the machinists to the queens taste. But MT. Platt made an error in his calcula- tions and it was Warner Miller who stag gered him. The boss had given out that the Republicans would take no stand upon the excise question, but Warner Miller decreed otherwise, and led the party to point where it had to indorse Teddy Roosevelts fight or jump off the band wagon. It indorsed. Another thing it did was to write itself down as favoring Governor Morton for Presden- tial candidate This fact Is more signifi- cant than at first appears. From the first there has been some doubt about the conventions intentions toward Levi of barrel fame. It is now time for Me- Kinley and others to be heard from Turn on the gas!

A FeIine at Large.

The breeze of prosperity that is now ruffiing the leaves in the agricultural sec tion is not attributable to the wise acts of the democratic administration. Hard lcks and strict economy of the farmer is what brought it about.-Headland Sun.

One of the most thrilling episodes in the battle of Chickamauga was Garfield's s ride. He was Rosecran's chief of staff. Thomas was trying to hold the road to Chattanooga, but was nearly sur rounded by the Confederate forces Ros- ecrans ordered Garfield to ride to Thomas and tell him to fall back to Rossville Gap, where he would find re-enforcements. Garfield started on the eight mile ride. After leaving Rossville he rode into an ambuscade of Longstreets sharp shoot CTS. The volley from the Confederates came from the woods on the right of the road, while on the left was an open cot ton field. Garfield was mounted on a fine horse, and he took to the cotton field He guided his horse in a zig-zag course through this field, while bullets fell around him. His horse was struck, but it only increased his speed. Garfield es- capped this great danger to afterwards fall at the hands of an assassin, and his message to Thomas saved the federal army

The critics say that a good magazine cannot be published for 10 cents-that the more subscribers it has at that price the more money it will lose. Mir. Mcclure contends that there is profit in To- cent magazine. His magazine is self-sup- porting without the advertising, so he says. In other words the sales and sub scriptions pay all expenses, leaving the advertising as clear profit. His magazine has sixty pages of advertisements, which at $50 page Ca very low estimate) would give profit of 5000 on each issue Perhaps he will some day send out his magazine free, and make the edyert!s- ing pay expenses and profits.

 The Daily State of Alarm may not be A calamity howler, but if it were it would be held excused. There is an old song about "heaps CT trouble in the old man mind since Mary went with coon.' Pos- sibly 1t is such domestic trouble on the mind of the Daily State of, Alarm which makes it advocate a doctrine, the con verse of which is if a man can't pay his debts and upholds free silver he Is all right We'll, well, well. The journalistic novice is pyrotechnic indeed
 In the battle of Chickamauga there was a gan of 300 feet between the columns of General Thomas and the base or the mountain. Longstreet saw this gap ana ordered his gray columns to charge through it at double quick. Thomas or dered Gordon Granger, with his 3IoO men to clost up the gap. The contending forces met with a crash. It was like collision of two railroad trains. The con- fiict lasted for only forty minutes, but 5000 men were slain in this narrow gap. The owner of this land after the war dug up and sold 400 pounds of lead in bullets.
