ized his wife, and his whole life seemed
 to be given up to her pleasure and hap
 piness. One day he awoke to the real
 ization that young lawyer named
 Stein, who had been one of his most
 confident and trusted friends, had rob-,
 bed him of his wife's affections. The
 affair had gone too far to admit of any reconciliation, and with a broken heart
 he left her. He made no complaint,
 neither did he utter word of censure,
 but hastily converted all his property
 and business interests into cash and
 portable securities and left his once
 happy home to become a wanderer the
 rest of his life.
 Schoolcraft's main purpose was to squander all his money and scatter it in a way that his wife could never get it. He rushed into big speculations and often, instead of losing, realized handsome profits. Taxes on his real estate were purposely left unpaid and the property was sold and restored un- till it was clouded by mortgages too far to admit of any redemption. He went into big mining schemes and all kinds of wild speculations, and in almost ev- cry instance would win. Finally he was heard from in Albuquerque, N. M. where he had invested in what he con sidered losing venture, but to his ut

FinanctaI.
Speculation in the stock Exchange Yesters
 day Was Quiet.


 New York, Nov. 20. Speculation at the stock exchange was quiet At the opening the market was weakened by a break In American Spirits preferred of 2h per cent, to 20, and further reduction of 1s cent per pound in re- fined sugar, which carried Sugar cer- tificates down to 1161a The losses in the general market were confined to narrow limits.
 The declining tendency was checked soon after the opening by a sharp rise in Consolidated Gas from 163 to 167. Reports of a combination with oppo- sition companies were revived and it was also stated that the directors at their meeting next week intended to declare scrip dividend of 10 per cent. Both stories were subsequently, denied, and the stock reacted to 1852 Sugar, after it's early decline, rallied to 117% on purchases said to be for the account of a prominent bear operator.
 After midday the market drifted into dullness, but prices held tolerably we'll Near the close, however, the grangers were pressed for sale, and declined b@1h per cent, Burlington and Quin- cy leading. This stock fell to 79A ex- dividend. A decline in wheat and the falling off in the movement of grain had an adverse influence. Besides 1t is generally believed that the October statements of the companies will make very poor showing as compared with 1895. The heaviness of these issues weakened the general list, although the pressure to sell was not pronounced by any means.
 In the specialties Long Island fell 2A to 59%, and Nickel Plate, second pre- ferred 2A to 2S1a. Speculation closed weak in tone. Net chages show losses of 461A per cent. Reading, however closed B per cent. higher on the day This stock was bought on reports oi favorable traffic alliances and state ments to the effect that the company had been successful in reducing rent charges.
 The bond market was lower to-day Sales footed up $1,37200O.

A MAN WHO CANNOT LOSE.

He Seeks to Become Poor, But His
 Every Venture Enriches Him.
 The history of John Lawrence School craft, who now, broken-heart and aimless in life, plods uncomplainingly through a weary existence, earning by constant labor a bare maintenance, is a sad one. Several days ago bonds and securities amounting to $60,000 were found in the bottom of a cast-off trunk in the Sartoga hotel at Chicago, as was related at the time in "The Courier Journal" The finding of such valua- bles has led to an investigation, and the fact has been established that the bonds and securities belong to John Lawrence Schoolcraft, formerly of Kentucky. ta
 Chief of Police Badenoch of Chicago, when he turned over the securities to the owner instead of making him hap py, brought sorrow and suffering to him, as the bonds recall a sad event in his life, which he had striven to for get. The day the bonds were found by waiter at the Saratoga hotel School craft was earning his living by address ing letters at one dollar per thousand. It was quickly learned that he was the owner of the bonds, for he had the lo- tel check for the trunk in which they were found. He also had a receipted bill for his board at the Saratoga ho- tel. He, when asked in regard to the securities he once possessed, gave the numbers readily. Chief Badenoch, wanting to be more sure, however sent Schoolcrafts picture to his old home in Richmond, Va. Letters were received immediately from prominent business men of Rihmond saying the picture was undoubtedly that of Sehoolcraft. This dismissed all doubts as to the mans identity and right of ownership
 These letters also explained why ! Schoolcraft, with $60,000 at his com mand, keps up the drudgery of address, ing envelopes to earn his daily 1iveli- hood. He himself declines to tell the story of his life, but in answer to per sistent questioning only says: NO mar on earth has suffered more than l. Had l thought my past would be dug up ir connection with these miserable old pa- pers, 1 would never have made claim tc them. May my secret be buried witt my body"
 Ten years ago John Lawrence School. craft was a handsome, vigorous young | man of twenty-nine years. He was ar enterprising young business man ant was a member of the firm of Camp, bell 6 Schoolcraft of. Richmond, Va i The firm was popular one, and made money fast. Schoolcraft had exten. sive business ventures outside of hi: regular business, and all of them netteC him big gains. Mrs. Schoolcraft was { ! beautiful woman and was one of tn, most attractive and fascinating leader: l of Richmond society. Schoolcraft Idol

ANOTHER LIEUTENANT GOVERNOR
Advises Use Of Dr. GpeneS Nervura Because He Knows
 t Will Cure.
Fletcher Bids the Weak Nervous and Discouraged to Hope for the Wonderful Dr. Greenes NerVura Will Surely
 

of the framers of the Constitution of Massachusetts.
 Certainly no higher testimonial, no greater proof of a medicines wonder ful power to cure can possibly be given than is here bestowed upon Dr. Greene's Nervura blood and nerve rem edy by this most distinguished states man and head of the government of the State.
 Surely no one who is i'll, worn-out, rundown, weak, nervous, discouraged and disheartened by repeated failures to be cured can require any greater proof, any stronger testimony that Dr. Greene's Nervura will cure, that it will certainly restore health and strength to the weak and nervous suf- ferer, than Lieut. Governor Fletcher s powerful words wherein he states that he has personally used it in his family with greatest benefit, knows it to be a most wonderful curer of disease, and earnestly recommends it's use by all who are out of health and need medi- cine.
 The great Statesman says
 T have long heard of the good ef- fleets of Dr. Greene's Nervura blood and nerve remedy and have used it in my family. I have heard cases among my neighbors who have derived great benefit from it's use and can truly say that as far as my experience and in-
The daily morning journal and courier., 1896-11-21

formation go, the results are highly satisfactory. This letter can be pub lished for others good"
 If you are a sufferer from weakness or disease, do not hesitate to take Dr, Greene's Nervura and get we'll after such a testimonial from so illustrious and distinguished Statesman.
 Do you think so eminent a man of such high official position would lend his name and give his emphatic advice to use Dr Greene's Nervura unless he knew positively it's great value, it's wondrous power to cure? He knows that his words will be needed and his advice to use this grand remedy fol- lowed because of his high standing and he unhesitatingly tells the people, speaking the welcome truth to the sick with the voice and dignity of off, cial authority, that Dr. Greene's Ner- vura blood and nerve remedy will cure the weak and suffering, will give health and strength, renewed life, restored energies and the zest and happiness of living.
 Remember also that this is no so- called patent medicine, but the pre- scription and discovery of Dr. Greene of 35 w. 14th street, New York, the successful specialist in curing nervous and chronic diseases, who can be con suited without charge, personally or by letter

ter disgust he realized from it over $lOOO00 Schoolcraft finally succeeded in squandering all his money, and landed In Chicago about two welSs ago with but few dollars in his pockets and with a determination to earn a small pittanoe wherewith to sustain himself.
 When Chief Badenoch took the secur- ities after they were found and showed them to Schoolcraft he said they be- longed to him, but they were worthless. Experts who have examined them de- clare they are good, and not only can their face value be readily collected, but the accrued interest, which will amount to some thousands of dollars. Schoolcraft, although being only thir- ty-nine years of age, has aged rapidly, and the sad expression on his face DOT trays bllghted life,
 Schoolcraft was born in Kentucky, and lived in the state prior to his res idence in Richmond, Va.-Louisville Courier-Journal.

The world believes it's great men,


 Their word is accepted as truth their example followed, their advice taken.
 Knowing this fact, the illustrious Lieut. Governor of Vermont, Hon. Henry A. Fletcher of Proctorsville, Vt, who is the descendant of a long line of Statesmen and Rulers, tells the people if they wish to get we'll if they desire to get back their health and strength, to use Dr. Greene's Nervura blood and nerve remedy, because he knows from personal experience, from its use in his own family and among his friends, and from having observed time and time again it's wonderful cur ative powers, that it will surely and certainly cure, that it will give strength to the weak, strong nerves to the ner- vous, natural refreshing sleep to the sleepless, perfect digestion to the dys- peptic, rich, red blood to the feeble, freedom from pain to the rheumatic, in fact, sound and vigorous health to all who use it.

 small boats of the station to go out. F'requently at night the signals tell the story of the passing craft when noth- ing else would The signals are fur Rnished to vessel owners free of charge by the station.
 Ashore again the message from the Governor Smith was started on its swift flight to the general offices Of the line in eastern New York in short ord CT, and then, provided with a fresh sup ply of papers that had come in by train, the boat was again launched in the surf. It was bright starlight. Far to the westward of McGulpin's Point, the most northern spot in the Southern Peninsula of Michigan, there was a light, which might be a setting star or the masthead light on a. coming steam CT With long, steady stroke of the oars the boat rode over the waves, showers of spray sometimes coming over it's bow. The reporter was on his regular night watch. He might have a dozen boats or twice that num- Der before he was relieved at mid night The only certain thing about it was that he must file a message to his home office at 10 o'clock, giving a list of passing boats since noon, for the daily papers next morning.
 The boat was in total darkness, not because of choice but of necessity Ii a light were displayed upon it. captains of oncoming steamers would dodge il or run away from it, for if there is one thing more than another captains have no liking for, it is light uponNthe wa ter and the event most feared by the marine reporter is to have a captain try not to run over him. So long as the steamer keeps it's way he knows. ex- actly what to do, but when a captain lodges he is lost in all his bearings.
 The light below McGulpin's Point proved to be that of steamer bound down from Chicago with the com eroT of an entire Kansas township, or 3 cargo equal to that. The captain haC heard nothing new, and there were nc letters to go ashore. The reporters boat was cast off to go to schooner slowly working it's way up the straits with 2 cargo of cedar, loaded among the isl. ands at the head of Lake Huron. Fol fortnight the crew had been engaged rafting their cargo from shore to theil vessel, and right glad all hands were when they got where they could heal what was going on in the world.

in the morning." the captain replied
 From one boat to another the report CT passed, for it was one of his busy nights. On one of his tows he went so near Mackinac Island that he could hear the band at the hotel but such revelry had no charms for him.. He would prefer the freedom of the straits to any life ashore he might with reason hope to attain.
 Once more he came ashore and sent his list of passing boats to the tele- graph office. Again he was off in his boat, there to remain until the end of his watch, when another equally hardy mariner took his place.
 The dense fogs which at times oyer- hang the Straits of Mackinac cause the service more trouble than the heavy winds and big seas. The passage of boats must be reported in fogs as well as clear whether, and the news is even more valuable to the vesselman during foggy weather, as it assures him that his craft is safe, at least, up to the time it was reported. The delivery of mes sages must be as sure in fog as in sunshine, and when night falls adding darkness to the fog then the work is indeed hazardous and difficult.
 The experienced man is the only one who can accomplish anything under these circumstances. Years of this life have given him an extra instinct and heecan distinguish the tones of the whistles of different boats as a person recognizes the voice of a friend. The 1 United States regulations come to his l aid at this time, and the oft repeated l fog signal on the whistles is the only l thing that reveals the presence of g 1 big steamer, unless it's captain blows g l special signal when he wants a message l taken ashore.

A chiidless woman has missed the greatest pleasure in the universe. She has missed the vagt1e, soft caresses of helpless sweet little hands that cling to her with blind love and dependence She has missed the miracle of motherhood She is not truly woman.
 If she is to be a mother, she must be hea1thily capable. weak, sick1y woman is not to be expected to bear healthy child. Bearing an unhealthy child is crime-pur- ishable by Nature inhexible laws Punish able with misery and remorse. The wonder is that there should be unhealthy women and unhealthy children It is the fault of the women Their i'll health is unnecessary. They may be perfect women and bear per feet children-easily and without pain, Ii they choose to do so.
 Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription makes women well. It purifies and invigorates the organs distinctly feminine, and makes the mother better able to nouIish the child be- fore and after birth. It frees the ordeal of childbirth from much of its pain and dan- ger It insures the health of both mother and child It prevents premature birth and miscarriages. All good druggists sell it.
 Mrs Beulah woodall, of Baternan, Patrick Co. Va writes: ''I was afflicted for four years with disease of the womb, but would not confess t for time.
