One of the strangest of funerals took
place in Portsmouth, Va, one morning
at 2 o'clock recently. The dead man
was a well-known cotton broker. The
pallbearers were four stalwart negroes.
Mr.. Nash was an extremely rich but
eccentric old man: In his will he stip-
ulated that his body should be kept
three days after death. At the end OF
that time the remains were to be in
tered at o'clock in the morning. Three
hours before the time set for the burial
the negro pallbearers were to be treat
ed to sumptuous supper. They were

THE PACE THAT KILLS.
Fast Work and Fast Eating Make
Three Score Years and Ten a Ripe
Old Age These Days.

Old Age These Days.
From the Cincinnati Enquirer.
The American people live too fast, eat
too fast and drink too fast. This has
brought upon many of us train of ner-
vous and stomach disorders that are very
difficult to manage. Investigation and
chemical analysis to discover such COM
pounds as will help those suffering from
such ills has resulted in the discovery of
DIR. Williams Pink Pills for Pale People.
which has taken very high rank as a
specific remedy.
H. P. Owens, travelling man thirty
years of age, who is well known in this
community and generally liked because
he is bright energetic young fellow. re-
sides with his mother at 335 Central ave
nue., Cincinnati, Ohio. He has been "a
victim of dyspepsia which took the form
OF continuous constipation, and, strangely
enough, his mother suffered from the same
trouble. Mr.. Owens testified to the mer-
its of Pink Pills in most enthusiastic
way, and said to the Enquirer reporter:
Il am glad to say anything l can for
Dr. Williams Pink Pills, because they did
me great good and other people ought to
know of their virtues as a medicine in
when l felt heavy feeling in my stom-
ach and | grew very constipated. | did
not consult doctor. but having heard Of
the Pink Pills | bought box of them. In
two or three days the heavy feeling in my
stomach disappeared and my bowels were
regular. l did not have to use more than
box of them before l was well. Since
that time l have only occasionally been
troubled with constipation and l never
get worried because l know just what TO
do. Mother was also troubled with ind-
gestion and the Pink Pills did the same
for her they did for me-cured her, didn't
they mother?"
When appealed to Mrs Owens answer
ed: ''That is right. found that it was Il
great medicine, so easy to take and so
quick and lasting in it's results
Mr.. Owens continued: Il believe that
these pills are also good for nervousness.
When | had my stomach trouble | was
also quite nervous and that disappeared
with the dyspepsia. The Pink Pills were
all that is claimed for them. You can
make any use of this testimonial that you
see ft."
Mrs Owens is quite as enthusiastic
as her son about the Pink Pills and
her host of lady friends can verify her
good opinion of this wonderful remedy
if they feel disposed to do so at any time.
Where the testimony is so general and
unanimous as to the excellencies of Pink
Pills as the Enquirer has found it to be
there is certainly good reason to believe
all the good things said-about the safe
and simple remedy.
DR.. Williams Pink Pills for Pale People
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

DID GEN. HARRISON KNOW?
His EnEag ement Announced on a Hateful
Anniversary.

announced an al IY3
Anniversary.
1t is a coincidence that eX-Presdent
Harrison's announcement of his engage
ment to Mrs. Mary Scott Lord Dimmick
was made on the anniversary of Mrs.
Dimmick's husbands death.
Walter ErslSine Dimmick was born in
Honesdale, Pa, July 4, 1856. He pre-
pared for college at Stockbridge Mass,
and later entered Yale. The class of
1873, with which he was graduated was
one Of the noted ones Of the university
1t contained athletes as we'll as students
and all who knew Dimmick liked him.
Leaving Yale, Mr.. Dimmick came to
, New York and took course in Colum-
bia College Law school, which he fin
ished in 1880. He was soon afterwards
admitted to the bar and entered the
firm of Gray & Davenport, since dis
solved.
Meantime he had made the acquain-
lance of Miss Lord. and in October,
1881, they were married at her home in
Albany. Their honeymoon had scarcely
ended when Mr.. Dimmick was stricken
with typhoid fever. His bride nursed
him day and night. but he died on Janu-
airy Is, 1882, just three months after
marriage.
The body was taken to Honeslale, Pa,
for interment, accompanied by num-
Der of friends and classmates at Yale.
Among them were Henry H. Darling,
William II. Gilbert, Henry e. Coe,
Frank Maxon, Charles Parsons, Jr., and
Frederick Potter, who acted as pallbear-
crS.
The young widow, stricken with grief,
returned to her mothers home and re-
NAMED there for years. Her husband
left her considerable property, but much
of this was lost by unfortunate real
estate purchases near Washington. Mrs.
Dimmick, however. has an income suffi-
Gent to enable her to live well.-New

Will Pull u Freight Train Either Forty
or Eighty Miles an Hour.
The Baldwin Locomotive works of
Philadelphia has shipped to the West
inghouse Electric works in Allegheny the
first electric locomotive ever built for
steam railroad. The locomotive is the
size of an ordinary box car, being thirty
wheel trucks. Completed, it will weigh
sixty tons. 1t is geared for 800 horse
power, which will pull loaded freight
train forty miles an hour. By a single
change of the gearing this engine can be
run up to 1000 horse power and can pull
a train eighty miles an hour. One man
will operate the locomotive by means
of a controller similar to that on a COM
mon trolley car only much larger and
stronger. The locomotive is built to be
operated by either overhead or under

I IS SETTLED At LAST.
The Immigrant Traffic Problem sue.
cessfully Adjusted.
He FIRST WARD AGENTS MUST GO.
The Southern Pacific and Western Lines
had Been orposin. The Eastern
Liues-Lquai Division Now.

The immigrant traffic problem, which has
heen perpleNing the Eastern and Western
lines for many years. has been brought to
a successful solution as result OF the two
days conference that nas Just come TO Ii
close in New York between representatives
of the trans Atlantic steamship companies
and the trunk and Western lines. The CON
olusion reached is that the first ward
agents. who have grown rich In the book
Ing of immigrants, must go, and hereafter
the railroad companies. both East and
West will cooperate with the steamship
companies in the handling of the business
Tho trunk liucs have been dealing with
the first ward agents Tor years. and have
been paying them a commission on the
business turned over to them. While not
very considerable, this branch OF passenger
traffic has been used 10 even up shortages
in per ccntages on west bound first class
passengers.
The Western lines have managed to Sc
cure immigrant business by means Of the
first waid agents, who. for a long time.
have controlled the business by means Of
European agents. a result of this cOndi-
ton was the fact that there has always
been considerable friction between the
Southern Pacific and the Western lines, and
the competition has at times waXed very
fierce. Repeated attempts have been made
by the Western lines to bring about an
amicable understanding, but the southern
Pacific which had the Seaboard Air Line
as an Eastern feeder, declined all terms Of
peace unless all agencies were abolished
and the business was handled exclusively
by tho steamship companies To bring
