A Charming Authoress.

She wasn't down on the programme,
but for all that the most interesting
thing about the Sorosis meeting the
other day was the presence of the
author of "Some Emotions and a
Moral" She sat upon the platform
and she didn't look a bit like woman
who would choose John Oliver
Hobbies" as pen-name. She was Of
medium height, plump in figure, and
possessed a pair OF bright, rather
restless brown eyes. Her hair was
also brown and her complexion bril-
liant. When complimented upon
her clever stories, she replied; "Oh,
you are very kind; but don't feel
one bit clever over here. Every

met a stupid woman since landed

herself as especially delighted with

Our representative has made careful In.
vestigation of the ii. E. Spaulding case at
Longview, which is here published for the
first time, and which will be read with
great interest by medical men everywhere.
In reply to the Christian advocates ques.
tions Mr.. Spaulding said: About eight years
ago while running a locomotive contracted
scatic rheumatism in my left side from my
hip down. 1t came on slow but sure and in
few months | lost control entirely of that
member, it was just the same as if it was
paralyzed, was totally unable to move out
of my room for year ana half six
months of which time was bed-ridden. I
tried every remedy suggested, and had regu-
lar physicians in constant attendance on
me. / was bundled up and sent to Hot
Springs where spent three months under
the treatment of the most eminent special.
lists, all of which did me no good, and l
came back from the springs in worse
condition than when / went came home
and laid fiat on my back and suffered
pain every time any body walked across the
room, the only ease l obtained being from
the constant use Of opiates. After three
months of this kind of agony, during
which time my entire left leg persisted away
to the very bone, my attention was called TO
q new remedy called DR.. Williams Pink
Pills for Pale People, by Mr.. Allison who 10
now train dispatcher at Texarkana, and
who was relieved of locomotor staxia Of
twenty years duration. At his urgent and
repeated solicitation consented 10 give
them o trial, after taking a few doses I
began to improve. | continued taking the
pills and kept right on improving until
was finally cured My leg is just the same
size now as the other one, and am sure
that Pink Pills not only cured me but saved
my life.
The reporter next visited DR.. G. Fl. Stans-
bury, a graduate of one of the medical
schools of Kentucky, and man who enjoys
the confidence Of everybody in Longview.
He said al know that Mr.. Spaulding had
@ terribly severe attack of sciatic rheumatism
of which tried to cure him used every
thing known to my profession in vain, and
finally recommended him to go to Hot
Springs. He came back from the springs
worse than when he went aud thought it
was only a matter Of time until his heart
would be affected and he would die. also
know that his cure is the direct result Of the
use Of DIR. Williams Pink Pills"
"That is rather an unusual statement for
0 regular physician to make, doctor"
81 know it is, but fact is fact, and
there are hundreds of people right here In
Longyiew who know what / say is the
truth. I also know Mr.. Allison and know
that he was relieved of genuine and severe
case of locomotor ataxia Of twenty years
standing"

The Presidents Chair.
The only vacant seat in the galleries
when the house was called to order and
the only one that was not occupied dur
ing the proceedings of the day is that
which the rules of the house reserve
for the president of the United States.
On such occasions it is usually filed by
members of the cabinets families or
visitors to the city to whom the presi-
dent or Mrs. Cleveland sends cards, but,
although the rest of the galleries were
jammed with people, this conspicuous
seat was empty all day and afforded a
topic of conversation.

THREE MORE NlSHVlCTORIES
According to Official Reports Insur-
gents Keep on Getting Whipped.

Havana, Julv 17.-Colonel Maroto
came upon the insurgents under In
glesito and others occupying a forti-
fled position on the Magda,len farm,
near Matanzas The Alcantara squad
ron charged the insurgents and dis
persed them over the Ma9otc hills. In
their flight the enemy left twenty-five
dead on the field. Among the killed
Was Dir. Hilario Isquierdo. OF the IN
surgent regiment TiFatires. from Ma
tanzGs. who fell in personal combat
with Sergeant Eanquil, who also slew
two men who were coming to the as
sistance Of Dr. Isquierdo. The Span
iards lost in this engagement two
killed and ten wounded, four seriously.
Col. Alheda fought an insurgent
force under Sahara and Guanamoro,
near San Nicolas, province of Havana,
and captured their camp. The insur-
gents left eighteen dead on the field
Of the troops, three were killed and
eight wounded.
Lieut-Col. Abergoty had a desperate
encounter with insurgents between
Rio Blanco and Jiguiba, province of
Havana. He had been pursuing some
fugitive bands when he came upon a
strong force of Cubans concealed in a
very duFdIb bdSeouS lOSltlOn. Iney
opened fire upon the Spaniards before
their presence was known, but the sol
diers behaved well, and returned the
fire with effect.
After five hours of continued fight
ing the insurgents were driven from
their positions before the bayonets of
the Spaniards and compelled to seek
refuge in the hills.
When the insurgent camp was reach
ed thirty-two corpses were found. \
large quantity of ammunition was
captured. The loss of the troops was
four killed, including a sergeant and
fifteen privates wounded.

ber or the LgIOI4IAs4~---
to corroborate the statement that
Taubeneck had gone to Chicago to CON
fer with The Democratic leaders there.
1t was tated that the object of his visit
was to confer with DR.. Taylor, mem
ber of he National committee and a
prominent Populist, as to what should
be done at the convention in regard TO
placing q National ticket in the field
by the Peoples party. The plan re-
sulting from this conference viii be
presented at the meeting of the eXecu-
tive committee tomorrow.
IF the Democrats will give us our
share of the electors there will be no
difficulty in the way of united action
for silver" said Sergeant-at-Arms Nc
Dowell, of the Populist National con-
vention, in the course of an interview.
Talks with other leading Populists
showed this to be the situation, there
being a well-defined feeling against
endorsing She Chicago convention
ticket.
The Populist plan is to divide the
electors in each State according to the
slrength of the Democratic and Popu.
list Parties, the stronger candidate 10
take all the electors after the election.
This they contend VIII insure the elec-
ltcn OF a silver man, whereas, il each
party put up separate candidate and
dad not fuse on electors, the silver vote
would be divided and the fight for sill
vel lost
In an interview Geo. f. Washburne,
National committeeman from Boston,
said: We regard the settlement of
the money question as but a step, but
1T is too important a step in the coun-
try's progress to be lost by failure to
unite.
1t is very likely some method of
union based upon electoral fusion will
be suggested to the convention which
will meet approval.
of course nothing can be told now
of what the convention will do, as so
many divergent opinions upon the
matter are to come together here next
week and they will require much in
terchange to evolve a proposition sat
isfactory to all and antagonizing to
none"
Mr.. Washburne looks upon the sit
uation in the South as the most deli
cate to deal with. The East and West
he considers as being more easily to
be brought together.

MISSOURI GOLD DEMOCRATS.
viii Probably Go Over to the RepubIi-
cans Bag and Baggage.


81. Louis, Mo-, July 17.-Prominent
gold standard Democrats OF this city
took the first step toward repudiating
the ticket and platform of the Chicago
convention. They decided to issue
call for a convention of the gold stand
ard Democracy of Missouri TO deter
mine whether or not a third ticket
shall be put in the field, whether the
fight for gold shall extend into the
Congressional districts. or whether the
hOlters shall come out openly for Me
Kniey and centraliZe their efforts on
him.
Col. Jas. 0. Rroadhead, ex-AIinister
to Switzerland, presided and among
those present were a score of prOmi-
nent Democrats and leading citizens.
Addresses were made and a resolution
was adopted providing for the naming,
Of a committee Of seven by Chairman
Broadhead TO send out a call for a
convention of gold standard Democrats
to be held at an early date. Circulars
will be sent all over the country to
gold standard leaders asking them to
cooperate or be present at the meeting.
FLOP AWAY LITTLE GOLD BUG.
Philadelphia, July 17.-Some of the
leading Democrats of this city who
are opposed to the election of BRYAN
and Sewall, and the Chicago platform
held q conference to-day and adopted
a resolution providing for the appoint
ment of "a committee of seven to con-
fer with the State leaders with view
of adopting the best methods for ac-
accomplishing the defeat of Bryan and
Sewall. The committee will be ap-
pointed tonight.
THE NEW YORK DEMOCRACY.
Poughleepsie, N. Y, July 17.-Chair-
man Hinkley issued call tonight for
a meeting of the Democratic State
committee to be held at the Hoffman
House in New York on Tuesday, July
20. At the same time, as chairman
OF the State committee, he issued a
manifesto to the Democracy of the
State, in which he says:
"The fact cannot be disguised that
the action of the Chicago convention
was a serious disappointment to the
Democracy of New York and has
aroused widespread and increasing op-
position. In this serious situation the
attitude of the party in the State NAV.
with more propriety, be determined
by its chosen representatives in coun-
Gil than by individual initiative. AS
it is important that the acton deter
mined upon be wise and united. I de-
sire to suggest to you that the State
convention will soon be called at which
the delegates from New York to the
recent National convention are expect-
ed to make report of their proceed
lngs with appropriate suggestions as to
the duty of the Democracy of the
State in the present crisis"

QUESTION OF HEADQUARTERS.
1t Will be Finally Determined Upon at
the Next Committee Meeting.

Washington, July 17.-Senator
Jones, of Arkansas, the chairman OF
the National Democratic committee
returned from New York this after
noon. He states that his Eastern visit
was a private one, and that he had no
conference nor did he see either Mr..
Hill or Mr. Whitney. Senator Jones
expects to issue call for meeting
of that body in New York city at the
time the notification committee for
mally informs Mr.. Bryan of his nomi-
nation. 1t is not probable that the
permanent headquarters of the Ma
tional committee will be selected until
that time. The Senator prefers either
Washington or Chicago for these head
quarters-the former because it brings
the committee in tuch with the public
Libraries and convenient to material
which will be called into use during
the campaign, and the latter city for
the reason that it is in a measure the
center of the battle ground around
which much of the contested ground
will be fought.
Although the formation of the exc
cutiVe committee is practically in the
direction of the chairman the prospects
are that its personnel will not be finally
determined until the meeting of the
National committee in New York.

THE SEABOARD CUTS RATES.
Likely to Secure a Monopoly of Pas
senger Business South.

Washington, July 1.-THE freight
rate war, which broke out Wednesday
between the Southern and Seaboard
Airline, has extended to the passen-
ger traffic, and to-day a new tariff
passenger rate between Washington
and points South, so far as the Sea-
board is concerned, went into effect.
The Seahoard also this evening begins
the running of steamer line between
Baltimore and Richmond.
This action of the Seaboard will en-
able passengers to reach Atlanta and
other Southern and Southwestern
cities touched by the two lines at from
$6 to so less than has heretofore been
the case, and for the present the Sea-
board stands to Scure a monopoly of the
passenger business, although for per-
sons TO take advantage of the reduced
rate they will have to go to Baltimore
to start ON their journey.
Application has. however, already
been made by the roads centering in
Atlanta to Commissioner Haines, of the
Southern Railway Association, to meet
the cut, and under the rules of the
Association the permission cannot be
denied. So far the Southern is keep
ing quiet in reference to the matter,
that is, so far as outside appearances
go; but it is very evident that the re-
cent moves of the Seaboard have been
fully anticipated by the general Off
GERS of the former road, and the proper
preparations made to meet and coun-
teract them is possible.
The fight is attracting much atten-
tion in railway circles.

here is not as yet effective at about
the lowest quotations ever made.
The wooden manufacture is waiting
and as new orders are exceeding slow,
the sales of wool at the three chief
markets were for the week only 2,155,-
100 pounds. There is no change in
prices.
The demand for finished products of
iron and steel is extremely narrow.
But in bars, the combination has
found itself unable to maintain prices
and there are renewed reports that the
great decrease in sales of nails will
force a reduction of prices August 1st.
The average of iron and steel prices
is the lowest since year ago.
Failures for the week have been 269

BRADSTREET'S REVIEW.
Bradstreet's tomorrow will say:
Nearly all general merchandise mar
kets continue dull and the volume of
business is smaller than anticipated.
Little or no disposition is shown to
engage in new enterprises, both city
and country merchants continuing the
purchase with more than usual con-
servatism, in view of the unsettled
financial outlook and. the low range of
prices.
Among more favorable features are
relatively encouraging reports con-
cerning trade at nine business centers,
together with an improvement in quo
tations for wheat, Indian corn, oats
and pork, and firm or unchanged prices
for wool, sugar, lumber, leather and
print cloths.
Baltimore reports various jobhing
lines doing well, but with a tendency
TO defer placing orders until after
election. Chicago and st. Louis agree
that sales for fall delivery while fair
in some directions will not equal the
record for 1895. Rains have improved
crop prospects in Washington. The
week has been marked at San Fran
cisco by the departure of a train load
of fruit for London, cargo of wheat
for Australia, and two ships loaded
with lumber for Europe. Crop pros
poets in Louisiana and in Texas have
improved, particularly with reference
to cotton, and country merchants are
reported encouraged.
