IRON the Greenrille, ~ g. Refractory
The following interview has just been
given our reporter by Mr.. q. A. Baker,
The oyerseer at the farm of Col. Isaac "A.
Snrg. of Greenvillc, y. c. 1t will inter
est anyone who has ever had typhoid fe-
yer. Mr.. Baker said in part:
II was living in Beaufort County, and
on the I'd day of October. 1898, | was
stricken down with typhoid fever. l had
The best physicians to attend me, and on
the 10Th day of January, 1894. was al
lowed to get up. | was emaciated, weak
and had no appetite. | could only drag
along for a short distance and would be
compelled to sit down and rest. This con-
tinued for some time and l began to give
nh hope of ever getting well. / lost my
position in Beaufort County, and having
secured one in Pitt County, clerking in a
store. ] undertook it. but was so weak /
could not do the work and had to give it
up. The disease settled in my knees, legs
and feet. | was taking first one kind of
medicine and then another. but nothing
did me any good. l was mighty low-spir-
tied. | moved out to Col. Sugg's about
four or five months ago and commenced
taking DR.. Williams Pills. I took three
a day for about three months. l began to
regain my appetite in a weeks time, and
then my weakness began to disappear,
and hope sprung up with a b~lessedness
that is beyond all telling. At the expira-
ton of the three months | was entirely
cured and could take my Ak and go in the
woods and do as good a days work as any
man. | was troubled with dyspepsia and
that has disappeared. 1t is also a splen-
did tonic for weak people. l say, Mr..
Editor, God bless DR.. Williams; may he
live for a long time. l know he will go
UP yonder to reap his reward, for he has
done a wonderful lot of good. Tell every
body that asks you about DR.. Williams
Pink Pills for Pale People that if they
will come to me | can certainly satisfy
them as to their merits. l always carry
a box of pills with me, and whenever l
feel bad take one"
We were forcibly struck with the earn
estncss Of Mr.. Baker, and his statements
may be relied on.
DR.. Williams Pink Pills contain, in a
condensed form, all the elements neces-
sary to give new life and richness to the
blood and restore shattered nerves. They
are an unfailing specific for such diseases
as locomotor ataXia, partial paralysis, st.
Nitus' dance, Sciatica. neuralgia, rheu-
matism. nervous headache, the after eff
fects of la grippe, palpitatiOn of the heart,
pale and sallow compilations, all forms Of
weakness, either in male or female, and
all diseases resulting from vitiated hui
mors in the blood. Pink Pills are sold by
oil dealers, or will be sent postpaid on re
ceipt Of price 90 cents a box. or six boxes
for $500. by addressing DR.. Williams

ENGLISHMEN OUT WEST.

Many Sons of Noblemen Waste Their
Substance in Dissipation.
The escapade at Bakersfield, Cal, Of
Lord Sholto Douglas. son Of the err
ratio Marquis Of Qu%eensberry, has
caused much comment here, says @
San Francisco correspondent. The
young fellow appears to be good-heart-
ed, but he lacks strong common sense.
Like many sons Of titled Englishmen,
he fancied that he could carry on a
little love affair with a variety actress
In q country town without attract
Ing attention, but he found that even
the girl accepted his attention as gen.
uine and had no idea that he was con-
descending when he talked of mar
rage. Probably the action Of his
friends in having him arrested for in
sanity was the wisest course, for 1t
brought home his folly to him. Lord
Sholto is a type Of many young En-
glishmen who have been sent to Cal
ifornia to try their hands at fruit
ranching. There are colonies Of the
rich Englishmen's SOM at Riverside,
Pomona, Ontario, Bakersfield and
many other places in southern Califor-
MIA and at Pen Ryn and Newcastle In
northern California. About one-third
Of them do we'll; the others, who lack
s~elf-control, waste their time and sub
stance in dissipation, and on their re-
turn as prodigals condemn the u
try that offered them a competence
for honest work.

A Rose to the Living.

Comparative Cost of Wars.

All the wars Of Napoleon Bonaparte
cost his country S1,275, 00O, 900, while
the wars of Louis Napoleon cost
France S2,21O, 100000. The former
made the enemy pay most Of the ex-
pense; the expense Of the wars waged
by the latter was borne by France.

The Spectre Riders.


The north wind bloweth bitter,
The leas are lost in snow;
The pines are black upon the height,
The river black below;
While swift across the ways of night
The spectre riders 90.
Their path is paved with azure
And lit with lamps of gold;
They revel in the stormy roar,
They glory in the cold;
Above, beneath, the seas CT air
In frosty waves are rolled.
Their steeds are shod with opal,
Of pearl each bride rein;
And like the new moons silver floss
Each tossed and tangled name;
AS subtle as our dreams they are,
That change and change again.
But, oh, the spectre riders!
No mortal eye may see
Or form or face, the while through space
They guide their coursers free;
Intangible they are as Death,
Whose c%ouriers they be.
Clinton Scollard in Leslie's Weekly.
Compensation. -.
If Helen love me, she does so
After the cautious modern fashion,
And usages like linkboys go
To light the progress of her passion.
Say mine estate should dwindle; say
The breath of scandal logged mine
honor,
Helen would weep her love away,
And bid me think no more upon her.
Say 1 fell ill, or lame, or blind,
The counsel Of her friends would move
her,
Respectfully, to prove unkind,
And seek a less unlucky lover.
But these things happen not, that Is,
Not in such sort as brighten Helen,
Whereas her lear small prudencies
Make me Il fenced demesne to dwell in.
Slunlber Song.
Silently, tenderly, Silly night,
Clothe her with quiet sleep;
Pale stars, marking the daylight's flight,
Watch Ger my loved one keep,
Groom to her slumber songs, Dove of
Peace,
Tell her of poppies and murm'ring bees,
Whisper of sleepsome things.
Sing to her, sigh to her, lisping leaves,
Lullabies soft and slow;
Mingle your music, o rustling sheaves,
Fitful and faint and low.
Cradle her softly until the morn
In at her lattice peeps;
flushed by all voices until day lawn
Hush! for my darling sleeps.

The eeQection Of June 10 as the tlme

The eelection Of June 10 as the time
and the city of st. Louis as the place OF
the next national convention is in the
nature of a surprise, since party senti-
ment has distinctly favored late con-
vention with Chicago as its site. The
practical politicians seem, however, to
have overruled the masses In the mat
ter of date; but It deserves to be said
that the site which they have chosen is
more generally acceptable. st. Louis is
neutral ground, easily accessible and we'll
provided with hotel and other necessary
accommodations. Its selection is de-
Hoid Of any fractional significance.

POLITICAL POINTS.

Congressman Robinson, Of Delaware

candidate for the seat In the United States
senate which Senator Cameron says ht
will not want after March Z. 1897. Jack

wants. but II is only the truth to say thai
he is not the average Pennsylvania Re-
publican's ideal OF what q United States
senator should be.
The Republicans and Democrats have an
equal number of members of the Ken.

the balance Of power. Those two Popu.
lists doubtless appreciate the Importance

An Interesting Report.

The state bureau of industrial statis-
tics has collected some decidedly inter-
esting figures concerning manufacture
ing in Pennsylvania in 1894 as compared
with the years 1892 and 1893. They re-
late to the number of persons employed,
the amount Of wages paid and the val
ue of the product. Several important
changes may be noted. First. there has
been a decrease in the number of en-
ployes In all the industries. This is
shown In the following table:

The tribute paid yesterday by our es-
senatorial candidacy Of Colonel L. A.
Watres was an eloquent but merited
one. From all accounts, our distin-
guished fellow townsman today stands
first in the race for the succession to
Cameron. In another place in this issue
we reproduce the comments Of the lead
ing papers of the state upon the senior
senator's retirement, and 1t will be seen
that in several of these the name of
Colonel Watres is mentioned with evil
dent favor. The Northeastern portion
Of Pennsylvania certainly deserves a
senatorship, geographically, intellectu-
ally and politically.
