A PdTdlytiC Cured.
Els Grandfathcr, a Revolutionary Sol
der, and His Father, Both Died Of
Paralysis. Yot the Third Goner-
alton Il Curcd-The Method.

From the Herald, Boston, Mass.)
Like q thunderbolt from a clear sky.
a stroke of paralysis came to Mr.. Frank
T. Ware, the well known Boston auc-
tioneer n appraiser, at 235 Washing
ton street. He went to bed n night
about six years 6 seemingly in robust
health. When he awoke his left side
was stiffened by the d~eadening Of the
nerves. The interviewer sought out Mr..
Ware to get the facts. He gave the in
teresting particulars In his own way:
The first shock came very suddenly
while / was asleep, but 1t was not last
ing in its effects, and in a few weeks I
/, after, when exhausted by work and
drenched with rain I went home in a
very v state. The result was a
second n more severe shock, after
which my left arm n les were prac-
tically helpless.
MY grandfather. who was a soldier
in the Revolutionary War, and lost an
arm in the struggle for American indie
pe%ndence, died finally of paralysis. My
father also died Of paralysis, although
it was complicated with other troubles,
Inc so l had some knowledge Of the ia
tai character of the disease which is he
reditary in our family. After the sec
ond shock I took warning, for. in all
probability, a third would carry me off.
Almost everything under the sun was
recommended to me n / tried all the
remedies that seemed likely to do any
good, electricity, massage and special
lists, but to no effect.
The only thing I found that helped
me was DR.. Williams Pink Pills, and I
verify believe that if. it hadn't been for
those pills I would have been dead
years ago.
Yes, I still have a slight reminder of
the last attack six years ago. My left
arm is not as strong as the other and my
left foot drags a little, as the paralysis
had the effect of %deadening he nerves.
But I can still walk a good distance,
talk as easily as ever, and my general
health is splendid. ] am really over sew
enty years old, although I am generally
taken to be twenty years younger.
"The Pink Pills keep my blood in good
condition, and I believe that is why I
am so well.
Mr.. Ware has every appearance of a
perfectly healthy man, and arrives at
his office promptly at eight o'clock ev-
cry morning. although ne has reached
IN age when many men retire from
active life. He says that in his
opinion both his father and grandfather
could have been saved If Pink Pills had
been obtainable at that time.
DIR. Williams Pink Pills for Pale Peo-
pie contain all the elements necessary to
give new life and richness to the blood
and restore shattered nerves. They may
be had Of all druggists or direct by mail
from the DR.. Williams Medicine Co.,
Schenectady, N. Y, at so cents per box,
or six boxes for $3.50.

NO CUBAN RECOGNITION,
The United States Unlikely to Take Any
Positive Action at Present.

Positive Action at Present.
WASHINGTON, Sept. ls.-Save agu
newspaper reports, nothing is known
at the state department of the inten-
ton OF any of the governments of the
American republics to recognize the
beiligerency of the Cuban revolutions
lists, and it is quite certain that no
formal application for such recogni-
ton by the United States has been
made. 1t is not perceived here how
the insurgents can reap any substan-
tial advantages at this time for such
recognition. The only comfort that
they would derive would be from the
moral effect of an assent by an inde-
pendent power to the proposition that
they had assumed statehood.
AS far as the United States is con-
ccrned. ittook such a pronounced stand
In h case of the late Brazilian insur-
rection that it could scarcely recop-
nize the insurgents in the case Of
CRba at present without a complete
reversal OF its position. 1t has held
that, to entitle them to recognition in
surgents must set up a seat Of govern
e and maintain it; that they must
issue money, and must possess a navy
TO make ~effectual any blockade they
wish to estabiish-in short, that they
must have an actual defacto govern
men. The state department is not in
formed that any of these requirements
have been met by the Cubans.

Professor warner OF CALIFORNIA; Attacks

Denver, Col, Sept. 1s.--At this
mornings session Of the national pris-
on congress a paper on Politics and
Crime written by Amos G. Warner,
professor Of economies and social sci
ence IN the Leland Stanford university
Of California. and read by John N.
Dryden Of Kearney, Neb., created a
sensation. IF the state itself is under
the influence of criminals wrote Mr..
Warner, s.how can it hope to reform
criminals?! Setting a thief to
catch q thief was an old-time
doctrine, but the plan Of setting a
thief to reform a thief has never yet
been defended. The representatives
of the state with which criminals are
most frequently brought into contact
are policemen, police justices, sheritfs,
sheriffs' deputies and others only a
shade-if at all-bet.er than the Grim
;na!s themselves. The hope for the
cure of criminals largely lies in cura-
tive treatment in the early stages.
Petty offenders and those on the verge
of criminality in the large cities sell
dom or get beyond this line of
guards, and live more or less in their
presence. The police to them repre-
sent the state"

AS warm weather continues, swelter-

demands the abolition OF the senseless
little tag which makers attach to the
bottom OF the modern shirt front At
best this pesky tag is q useless fixture
and two often it is an unsightly nui-
sance. When it is concealed by the
waistband of the wearer's trousers ia
frequently causes q lumpy wrinklel
and when it rises above that line it
has an uncanny way OF thrusting
itself into view between the button
holes of ones vest
On the shirt of a man who goes
vestless in hot weather the little tag
is a 1uttering badge Of vulgarity, an
audacious insult to good taste and a
.starchy affront to social order and
progress. The tag is the one useless,
witless and ex~asperating part whiAh
evolution has not yet eliminated FROM
the nineteenth century shirt. It is a
survival of the unfittest, a relic Of the
dark ages when a stranger DESTROYS OF
cashing a check at the bank pointed
to the initials on the tag of his shirt
front as a means of identifying him
self; wherefore the offensive and os-
tentatious tag must go. Suffering man
has pulled the tag aud evolution win

Hank Monley and Jerry Woods seemed

Merry Christmas I!


The reasons why this brightest and
best of all the holidays of the yeai
should this time be especially welcome
are not difficult of specification. In
the first place. from national stand
point, 1t finds the American people pros
porous and happy after one of the Sc
verest of their periodical seasons of
business depression and financial trial;
finds the country secure in the path
ways and the employments of peace,
and progressive in the directions that
tend toward the uplifting of its fame
and greatness; and finds in all the
channels Of public activity a wholesome
and an increasingly vigilant moral SEN
timent which bravely condemns un-
righteousness and steadily makes for
true civilization.
In state and city the same reassuring
facts are true. Although the people
differ at times concerning questions of
public policy and divide along lines of
personal idiosyncrasy or preference, it
has opportunely been shown that they

wholesome unanimity at the challenge
Of their country's honor and in defense
of their country's rights. This salutary
demonstration of the fundamental pa
triotism Of the masses is the one pre-
dominant cause for present congratu-
lation. 1t is the needed assurance Of
the nations vitality, and the invaluable
guaranty of the republics endurance.
Taking, however, more immediate
survey, we find in our own community
abundant justification for unstinted
good cheer. The closing twelve-month
has been a year of well-evidenced and
happily-rounded prOgress-progress in
the diversification of our own home in
dustries; in the multiplication of our
public buildings. Of our institutions of
philanthropy and commerce, and of our
homes; and In the many avenues
wherein a growing city expands in
healthy vigor toward the realizations
Of its loftier hopes. A contemplation Of
this gratifying expansion cannot fail
to add zest to the festivities of the mo-
ment.
But in conclusion, 1t must be remem-
bered that the highest essence of the
Christmas commemoration is expressed
by the second clause of the angelic
benediction: Peace on earth; to men.
good will" If in the routine Of the a.
customed toll and cares there is neces-
sarlly much that is selfish, let this day
Of all the days be exalted into time of
true unselfishness; into day when
charity and philanthropy, dropping
aside their business masks. shall lead
the way to q glorious brotherhood, in
which the poorest shall he as the richest
In the fullness Of real happiness.
