HOW TO BE CHEERFUL.
Driving Away SaIIOwness. Nervous
ness. and Irritable Feelings.

Laugh and grow fat" is an old saying
which means that there is a very close
connection between a cheerful mind and a
sound body Everybody knows that this
IS true, but how many people there are
who md Il impossible 10 be light-hearted
They are always wrapped in gloom. they
grow pale. sallow and prematurely old be-
cause they are constantly suffering from
dyspepsia, constipation, and tired, nerv-
Gus, irritable feelings.
Is there any way in which such people
can improve their health and feel happier?
Yes, most decidedly there is. Many peo-
pie have fortunately discovered the secret
OF health and happiness and are giving
others the benefit Of their experience.
Mrs. j. W. Conner OF Fitchburg. Mass.
recently said: Il was I'm bad health and
feeling very miserable and lOw-spirited.
when a friend advised me TO try Duffy S
pure malt whiskey. / did so. and am now
feeling stronger and happier and health
worked wonders and think IL is a grand,
good thing"
Mr.. W. c. Wilcox OF Utica, n. Y, says:
I have been using Dufy's pure malt
Whiskey for indigestion and shortness OF
breath, and am happy 10 say that / have
been greatly benefited. j have also in
dueed my friends to try II, with equally
good results"
There is nothing like Dunys pure malt
for toning up the system, quickening the
circulation and giving bright, healthy
and druggist keeps IL. but care should be
taken to guard against inferior limitations
When you ask for Duffy's pure malt
Whiskey be sure that you get il and ac-
cept nothing else There Is nothing that

MEASUREMENT OF ELECTRICITY.
The Condition is About All That IL
Definitely Known.
From Science for All


and peculiar form of the energy which per-
Electricity is supposed to be a certain
vades the universe. What 1t really is, no
body knows. How are we to measure a
thing, or condition, or whatever it Is,
when we know nothing about 1t? II we
are to measure the speed of a hores, we
at least know that the horse is there and
that he Is moving, and moving In a GER
tain direction. If we want to know how
much water there Is in a bucket there
is no question about the presence of the
water and OF the bucket
What would we think OF the querist
who should ask us to determine these
questions, and In the same breath should
deny the materially Of the horse. or the
physical entity Of the water; or should re-
quest US to find out the strength of a
current of very dOubtfm existence I'm some
thing which is not a thing? This is APP
parently what we undertake to do when
we attempt to measure electricity: that
is so long as we carry with us our wrong
IDEAS as to It's nature. suppose, therefore,
for a moment we simply look at the
condition. which is all that we are really
sure about; a body and a space around
that body in which body and space some
thing unusual Is visiby or demonstrably
occurring. What Is occurrlng2 First, the
body is heated Second. II it Is part solid
and part LIQUID, the liquid is decomposed.
Third, the solid conductor becomes mag
netic; 1t will defect suspended magnet
and will magnetise bits of iron brought
near 1t. 1t will make iron innings arrange
themselves around 1t in curious Whirls,
as II all about that conductor there were
some strange field Of force, some atmos-
phere of strains and stresses which seizes
upon those filings as a whirlwind seizes
upon straws and dust
Electricity is measured by measuring
differences in these defects. We may note
differences in the heat caused in the con-
ductor and say that that current is the
stronger of two which produces the higher
elevation of temperature. We may de-
compose liquids, and determine the rela-
tive strength of currents by differences
posted. We may note the reflections of
magnets brought near the conductor, and
find the relation between reflections over

well known Savannah sculptor, and a
most excellent one it is. too. The smiling
countenance and the happy expression
emphasizes the motto inscribed on the
cup, We make this beer, mems hearts to

little tubs on each side of the barrel, with
which the model will answer for either a

'grotesque dance by a number of young
boys, fan dance" by twenty-five lit
tie girls and the famous baby dance. D..
hrst produced in Wang, which will be
given by some little children, mere babies

OF success in the public performance.

houses at all three performances the ad-
vance sale having been very large, and
IN all probability the standing room

curtain rises on the initial performance

MISS EUsTAcE's DOG OBJECTED.
The Actress Was Assigned TO a Room
in which "a Man Killed Himself.
From the New York Times.

From the New York Times.
When Richard Mansheld's company was
in Cincinnati recently. Miss Jennie Eus-
tace. the leading woman, had a weird ex-
perience in a hotel. She carries about the
country small but valuable dog. She
went to a leading Cincinnati hotel, and
was assigned to a large and splendidly
furnished room. Her dog was carried to It
in q basket.
The door had hardly closed on the bell
boy when the dog was let out of its bas-
ket 1t began Immediately to cry and
moan and made wild efforts to scratch its
way through the door. There was no ac-
counting for his behavior but Miss Eus-
tace became alarmed, and felt herself
growing faint and nervous. She tried to
Dacify the dog. The effort was futile. She
rang for the bellboy and asked to be shown
to another room, even If II were not as
aereeably situated and elegantly furnish
ed as the one she was In.
AS soon as she got in the new room the
dog ceased crying and made almost hui
man efforts to express its joy at the
change As for herself, her nervousness
disappeared almost instantly. She thought
nothing further Of the affair until a few
DAYS later when she overheard some of
the guests of the house speaking of sui
eide which had been committed in the
hotel the preceding Sunday, the day Of
her arrival Upon inquiry she learned that
a well known man had killed himself in
the room to which she had first been sent
and the body had been removed only a
short time previous to her arrival.

MAY GO TO THE CHURCHES.
Bill of InterpIeader With Regard
to Some Southwestern stuck

1t is believed that Trinity and Wesley
Monumental churches will be given the
2,l6O arising from dividends on 200 shares
of the capital stock of the Southwestern
railroad, which was left in trust for those
two churches by Mr.. Robert McIntire.
the trust deed having been made some
time before Mr.. McIntire's headth.
While part of the amount may have ac-
crued as dividends before Mr. McIntire's
death, the law is generally that the divi-
dends go to the parties holding the stock
in their own right at the time they are
paid, because it is possible a large pro-
portion of such dividends would rightfuf-
ly go to the benefciaries under the trust
apportionment of it.
As it was possible, however for khe
heirs to make objection which might In
volve some troublesome litigation, all par
ties interested decided to file bill of in
terpleader, asking the court to construe
the law so no future doubt with regard to
the matter may arise.

IN THE RAILROAD WORLD.
Matters of Interest in savannah and
Elsewhere.


The fact that the Georgia and Alabama
railroad has obtained an entrance TO sa-
vannah, and that other roads are build
ing this way, brings clearly 20 mind the
benefits which would be derived from a
union depot, both TO the railroads and 10
the citizens Of Savannah. II is under
stood that the question has been dis
cussed by the officials Of the Plant sys-
TEN, Central Of Georgia, and Florida Cen
tral and Peninsular railroads within the
last few months.
Col B. W. wrenn Of the Plant system
arrived in town yesterday morning from
New York. He leaves for Atlanta to-

ern States Passenger Association to-
morrow for the purpose Of electing a
commissioner, Mr.. Thomas having been
appointed TO fill the uneXpired term Of
Mr.. Finley. The meeting of the Southern
states Passenger Association tomorrow
Will have the double purpose Of a mass
meeting and also an executive meeting.
The repairs to the St. Mary's trestle
on the Plant system required more time
than was expected. Up to a late hour
last night the Plant trains of that sec
ton We're still running over the Florida
Central and Peninsular tracks.
Mr.. J. c. Halle, general passenger
agent of the Central OF Georgia, leaves
tonight for Atlanta to attend the execu-
tive meeting Of the Southern States Pas
senger Association.
Mr.. R. L. Pritchard, for many years
connected with the freight department Of
the Plant system, has been appointed as
