She Would Not Speek.

From the St. Louis Republic
 Tbirty-tive years ago this sum- mer Mrs. Susan E. May field of Americus, Georgla, made some re- mark 10 her churlish husband, who, by way of reply commanded her to keep silent, declaring as he did so that the very sound of her voice was distasteful to him. "Very well, "she replied, "you shall never hear the distasteful sound again." The hus- band imagined that the hasty VOW thus taken by his wife was a petish freak that would wear off as soon as she "got over her pouting spell," but he was doomed to disappoint-- ment. The day. the night and the week passed, yet Mrs, ,Mayfeld never uttered a sound. When weeks heightened into months the hus-
 
 band and relatives became alarmed and remonstrated with the good lady, but all to no purpose. She continued to act the part of wife, and daily directed the affairs of her household by making signs and by occasionally writing on a slate kept for that purpose. She even bore three children to her husband after her peculiar VOW of silence was ta- ken. Finally the husband sicken- ed, and when 1t was known that the physicians in attendance were get ting ready to announce the hope lessnes of his case, It was imagined by all that she would renounce her vow and speak to the dying man. He even pleaded with her to say just one word before he died, where. upon she took the slate and wrote: Il cannot, I cannot, God forgive and help mo-" Finally, in 1891, after almost thirty-one years of continued silence, it came her time to die, but she died as she had lived for the third of a century, without utteIing single word.

THE WOOL TRADE.
Tendency to Greater Firmness Shown in the Market-The Clip Vel For ward

in the Market-The Clip Vel For
 ward.
 Special Dispatch to the Globe Democ at
 New York, Sept. 13.-The "Tex- tile Manufacturers Journal" in to- morrow's issue will say:
 ''The increase in the sales of wool is principallyin foreign wools, some very large lines of secured foreign being sold. The situation abroad is very strong, and the market be- ing somewhat excited, values seem- ingly gaining strength every recur- ring day. The week has confirmed the Journals" prediction that wools would be reshipped abroad, some 800 bales of Montevideo hav- ing been purchased to be shipped to the Antwerp market 10 be resold there. Several lines of wools, pur- chased by American buyers at the last sale and held on storage in London, have found a market there at from Pc to Sc advance. The feel ing among dealers is that there will be sharp advance at the opening of the next Serins
 "The American dealers who bought largely at the July series feel secure in their purchases, as no wools suitable to the needs of this market will be available until the January sales that is, not in any quantity. Taking this connection with the shortage in the domestic clip, estimated by some to be as great as 75.000,000 pounds, and it will be readily seen that there is warrant for this feeling. The re- ceipts in the seaboard market of domestic wool since January 1 have been fully as large as year ago, but to-day the clip is we'll forward very few wools being held in the interior.
 "There are manufacturers who stand ready to take large lines of Territorial wools and bids have been made buyers are holding firm, and it i9 safe to say that there is a tendency this week toward greater frmness than was manifest last week. Still the actual transactions show no change in values.

The Cochise Prospector in com menting on the first meeting of the Territorial Irrigation Commission, describes the benefits to accrue in the following common-sense, lan- guage:
 The importance of the movement just inaugurated so harmoniouslY, can only be vouchsafed for by the enthusiasm at yesterdays meeting, and incorporated as 1t Is on the principle that 10 the greatest num- Der must result the greatest good, the predictions are that the future of this small hand of co-workers for the interests of Arizona will find an appreciative response from all class eS of our representative people.
 The work to be undertaken by this commission pulls down no section, but on the other hand it places each community iE the territory among people elsewhere, where it should have been long ago-iirSt in every thing and by all means a field in- viting the capitalist as we'll as the home builder to enter and reap that which others sooner or later will be only too eager to grasp.

Itwill bea great source of strength to Mr. Mckinley to have a solid and enthusiastic delegation from his own State, and that such a state as Ohio, behind himin the convention. But we stick 10 the opinion that the Republicans, after expressing the Mckinley tariff doctrine, at the dic- tation of the great protected inter ests, will not dare go to the extent of nominating Mckinley as a can didate. That it would be logical to nominate Mckinley on such a platform is admitted, but the Re publicans would rather win than be logical, and they feel that McKin- ley on a Mckinley platform would be too much for the country.

 Without exception these students stand we'll with their teachers and classmates, and are all making fair progress, and are credit to their parents, and the place they came from.
 The Academy is essentially a Normal School, built does not stop there; and one of the finest busi- ness colleges in the West is con- ducted within it's walls; one that IS practical and modern in every re- spect. A very striking feature is the domestic organization. 1 do not believe there is another institu- ton of learning in the United States where the life of the student apart from school is so carefully looked after. 1 fear 10 trespass up- on your space, or I would be glad to tell the parents of the boys and girls from Arizona. how we'll they are taken care of, while the great est personal freedom is allowed them.

At the New York Republican convention held at Saratoga, Sept. 17th, Gov. Norton of that state re- ceived the indorsement of the con- vention, and thus was launched his presidential boomlet. The dangers of the return of Democratic power were portrayed, asserting that the same men who were repudiated by the voters are still in charge of af- fairs. Do they refer to Cleveland as one of the repudiated? If 80, give us more repudiation.

A Professional Nurse Afflicted with
Bright's Disease of the Kidneys
Finds Cure.

Mrs A. E. Taylor has resided in Buffalo
for over 40 years, her address is $50 Her
kimer Avenue, as a professional nurse she
has nursed back to health many a sufferer.
Disease in all it's varied forms have be-
come as familiar to her as to the regular
practitioner Her occupation is one that
taxes the strongest constitution, but the
fatigue of long watching and nursing at
last brought her to bed of sickness. Mrs
Taylor speaks of her complaint and cure
as follows: After being confined to my
bed for some time my disease assumed
such a serious aspect that doctor was
called in. He pronounced my ailment
Bright's disease Of kidneys in the third de-
gree and very bad case. My limos
swelled up so that l could not walk across
the floor, or, indeed, help myself in amy
way My face bloatcd up and my eyes
swelled so that the sight was badly i'm
paired. This condition continued for
nearly two months without any marked
improvement from the doctors treatment
have taken quarts of buchu and Juniper.
l tried battery treatment, but all without
any lasting benefit until felt like finally
giving up in despair Hearing of Doans
Kidney Pills gave them trial, and after
taking three boxes | was able to get up
without assistance and walk, something
had not done in months l continued
steadily to improve with their use. The
eweling in my leg left, the color returned
to my face. changing from a challSy color
to healthy bloom l now consider my
self entirely cured and / shall never rest
praising the little pill that saved me.
