Mrs. William G. Whitney, the bride of
the ex- secretary Of the navy was introduced
to the gilded society cirles Of New York
something less than 20 years ago, and to
this day she Is known to old Knickerbocll-
or families as tone Of those handsome May
girls Her father was DR.. May, who
moved to New York shortly after the civil
war with many other wealthy southerners.
OF his three daughters, Carrie married
William Wright, from whom she secured u
divorce Alice became Mrs Beaver Webb,
and Edith married Captain Arthur Ran

sion soon after his marriage and came to
America. The Randolphs settled down In
q fine house in the fashionable quarter Of
New York and were prominent members
Of a select social circle. They were also
we'll known in Washington and London
society, and Mrs. Randolph, because of her
striking beauty, was always a favorite.
About ten years ago Captain Randolph
died Of heart disease In Canada, and his
widow continued to live in her handsome
New York residence She had become an
intimate friend of the Whitncys and nc
oompanied them ON European trip. There
were many ru1nors of her engagement to
this or that eligible bachelor, but the ru-
mors all proved false.
After the death of Mrs Whitney, In
February, 1893, 1t was whispered that the
ex-secretary had become very attentive to
the handsome widow, but the fact that
they wero engaged was not revealed until
. few days before their recent wedding.
Mrs. Whitney has two children-a girl,
Adelaide, who is now about ID years old,
and a son, who is now ut school in Boston.

Decorated Skulls.

Professor Zuokekandl, the noted Vienna
litterateur, tolls of very strange custom
in Salisbury, Kaernten and Tyrol. This Is
the decoration of the skulls Of deceased
relatives. On account Of the lack Of space
in most country cemeteries In this part Of
Austria, the graves have to be dug up ev-
cry eight or ten years. The relatives of the
deceased receive notice before tho graves OF
their beloved ones are torn open, ind the
skeletons arc generally taken by them to
the bonehouse where MI bones are packed,
ono on top of tho other. Tho skulls are
then given in charge of tho carpenter Of

Consumption is no
respecter Of persons. The germs of this
most dreadful of diseases float III the air
we breathe, in the water we drink, in the
money we handle. Perfectly harmless
in a healthy body, they are absolutely
deadly wherever weakness exists. The
lungs are the most sensitive of all the
vital organs. The delicate lining of the
lung cells and passages is easily irritated.
If the blood is impure and germful the
lung lining soon becomes inflamed. I'm
pure matter accumulates. If consunp-
ton germ is in the body it lodges there
and propagates. Soon the entire body
is full Of bacilli and consumption has
firm hold. .. ".4
Many doctors say that consumption is
incurable and necessarily fatal. They
are mistaken. DR.. Pierce's Golden Med
ical Discovery will cure 90 per cent. of
all cases of consumption, if taken prompt

thousands. 1t is quickly absorbed by the
blood and searches out every disease
germ in the body. It assists nature to
throw off germs and all effete matter and
restores the body to perfect health and

ORIGIN OF THE BoERs.

They Left France In 1853 and Settled In
Cape Colony.
Il Il extremely interesting, says Mr..
Ganthony In The Sketch, to inquire as to
who and what the Beers really are and
whence comes this heroic and stubborn de-
Tense of their rights which has exalted
these South African agriculturists in the
eyes Of the world. After the revocation Of
the eiict Of Nantes by Louis XIV num-
bers of Huguenots, In 1888, left France and
settled In Cape Colony under the Dutch,
who then had possession of 1t, which gov
eminent ct that time denied the very priv
ueges to the Huguenots that their de-
TIL recently denied the Johannesburgers,
which has led to this unfortunate revolt
against the government OF the Transvaal,
fs In the eighteenth century 1t led to the
French exodus from Cape Colony. Two
centuries ago, when the Huguenots In
Cape Colony presented q petition to the
government for. electoral rights, Van der
Stell was enraged and dismissed them
with severe reprimand Ito restrain their
French impertinences, which had par
.allel In Pretoria lately, when some reason
able appeal for representation by the uit-
1anders was received with jeers" by the
members of the raadzaal.
In 1909 the use Of French in addressing
the government on official matters was
publicly forbidden. In 1874 the church
service in French was permitted for the
last time, and some 70 years after the ar
rival of the Huguenots in South Africa
their children ceased to speak French en-
tirely. When the settlers could no longer
endure the tyranny of the Dutch, they
"trekked, or tracked, INTO the interior,
and 1t is therefore quite as likely that the
Dutch speaking Frenchmen are more en-
Titled to be called the owners of the Trans
vaal than the Dutch themselves-that Is,
II we consider, as civilized nations do, that
the original native has no territorial rights
whatsoever. II the original Huguenots
have been deprived Of their language, they
have not been deprived Of their names, and

There is no doubt of the forceful and

stump. He has o wonderful facility for
making things appear what they are
not. He can, as the Irish say, "talk a

successfully against facts? Mr.. Bryan
would have us believe that depreciating
prices are due to deprecated silver and
appreciated gold. He has been harping
on this theme ever since he was nomi-
mated. But the markets give him the
lie. The following figures showing the
