Gratefully yours,
MRS. EMYLE HYDE GRINNELL."
Paine's celery compound is especially
valuable for recruiting the strength
and spent energies of men and women
advanced in years. 1t is the one pre-
paration considered worthy the name
of true nerve food and blood remedy
by physicians throughout the country.
1t is prescribed by them in every state
in the Union to tone up the system,
regulate the nerves and restore health
and strength
Nothing in the past has ever APP
preached it in power of building up
weakened nerve tissues and giving
strength to the tired body. In severe
cases of persistent headache, dyspep-
STA, neuralgia and sleeplessnss, due to
nervous feeblessness, Paine's celery
compound has a record of rapid and
lasting cures that embraces every city
and town in tn wide sweep of the
United States.
It's remarkable power over disease
lies in its active replacing of worm
out parts by new healthy ones, and in
it's healing and purifying action among
the most minute tissues of the body.
1t searches out the worst parts atonce
and sets to work to build them up. The
tired body feels the strengthening eff

It is an uncommon thing to learn Of
persons reaching the age of Mrs.
Emyle Hyde Grinnell, and years of
good health such as hers come only
to those who make use of the very best
means of keeping we'll
No one will wonder that the bright
eyed old lady, whose mind to-day is as
alert and clear as ever, should be anxi-
GUS for others to try Paine's Celery
Compound.
Mrs. Emyle Hyde Grinnell was born
in Bennington, VT, July 6, 1896, and
is to-day living with her grand daugh-
ter, the wife of Martin Fowler of Col
chester, VT, a beautiful town near
Fort Ethan Allen. Her father was a
farmer and hotel keeper, and she lived
upon the farm until her marriage.
Mrs Grinnell has none of the intirmi-
ties of old age. She rises at daylight,
works about the house, and when the
weather win permit walks outdoors.
Her eyesight is so good that she
threads a needle and spends many
hours crocheting and doing fancy
work. She keeps abreast of the times,
and is remarkably well-informed up
on many subjects. She declares that
she does not feel any older than she
has for years, and if people half her
age enjoyed such good health as she
they would consider themselves for
tunate. She has seven children, four
boys and three girls, two of whom are
living to-day
Mrs. Grinnell writes:

New York city viii make a deter
mined effort to capture the next Ma
tional Democratic convention and to
that end has appointed and sent a
special committee to Washington to
push it's claims for all they are worth.
The city has already pledged fund of
$4,000, the Herald starting the sub
scription with $4,000 and each of the
leading hotels subscribing $1,000 each.
New York is the only one of our great
cities which has never failed to give
a majority for the National Democrat
ic ticket in the past IS years, and it
can easily take care of the conven-
ton so far as accommodations are con-
cerned. Its hotels are the best in the
country and it has one of the largest
and most comfortable halls in the
world for convention purposes. We

SILVER IN THE SENATE.

The new silver bill now before the
Senate is the most complete and un-
equivocal free coinage measure that
has ever been fayorably reported to
either house of Congress 1t provides
that the minis of the United States
shall be open to the coinage of silver,
in dollars of 4121a grains, on the same
terms and under the same provisions
of law regulating the coinage and le-
gal tender quality of gold, and that the
Secretary of the Treasury shalh-re-
deem United States notes, when pre-
sented for redemption, in either gold
or silver coin, mot at the option of the
holder, but exclusively at the option of
the government" 1t is also provided
that the Secretary shall cause to be
coined, as soon as practical, that por-
ton of the silver bullion purchased I'M
der the act of 1890 that represents the
difference between it's cost and it's
coinage value, and to issue certificates
against this seigniorage Immediately,
to be used in payment of current eX-
penses.
This bill is a substitute reported by
the Finance Committee for the House
bond bill and there is little reason to
doubt that it will pass the Senate,
though its defeat in the House is al
most certain.
In the Senate, however, the silver
men command a clear majority, prac-
tically all the States South of the
Potomac and Ohio and West of the
Missouri rivers being represented by
silver Senators, while all the New Eng
land and middle States, including Del
aware, Maryland and West Virginia,
with Pennsylvania divided, are for
gold standard. All the other States
South of the Ohio are for silver, only
Kentucky, Georgia, Louisiana and
Texas are divided, one Senator on each
side. In the West we find Ohio, Illi-
nois, Michigan, Wisconsin, Iowa and
Minnesota represented by gold men,
but two silver Senators from Indiana.
Out of all the Pacific States there is not
gold Senator except one from Ne
braska.
This makes II States supporting
the gold standard in the Senate, % for
silver and divided, or 80 gold Sena-
tors, Delaware having a vacancy in the
Senate, and As for silver. Of the gold
men "a are Republicans and IS are

THE COMBINATION EXPOSED.

at is an evil bird the befouls its own
nest :" vet that is Just what Pritchard
and Butler have been doing in the Sen
ate.and between the two theold North
State has Jared badly and presented
a most pitiable spectacle before the
whole country. Both of these states
men, have now taken their turn at
abusing the State they misrepresent
and defaming the people who were so
unwise as to elevate them to the high
positions they now occupy.
1t fell to Senator Hills lot to defend
the people of the State yesterday and
point out the inconsistency of these
two men elected by the same legisla-
ture and by the same combination of
Republicans and Populists. A few days
ago Butler denounced the Democratic
party for being false to its pledges of
tariff reform, yesterday Pritchard, the
other end of the combination, declared
that he was in favor of a re-enactment
of the Mckinley law, that it had made
New England rich and denounced the
Democrats of North Carolina
for their recreancy to their
own section by opposing a high pro-
tective tariff If this is not beautiful
example of a combination trying to
ride two horses in different directions

Whatever else may be said of Sena-
tor Hill he has won the lasting graft

Butler and pritchard entered to ride
into office.

England seems to want not only to
maintain the gold standard, but she
wants the yellow metal itself. The
Transvaal troubles all come from the
fact that gold was discovered there
and thousands of the worst class of
Englishmen have gone there to mine
it. Venezuela has gold mines and that
is the part of the territory tina Eng
land wants. Verify, money is the root

4 GOOD ROAD ~ PROSPECT.

Intelligence Of Il cheering character comes
from Brooklyn regarding the plan To pro-
vide the good road that is so greatly needed 10
connect the th0roughfarcs Of that city with the
superb roads to the eastward in Queens County.
Some time ago we noted the action OF the GoOh
Roads Association in favor Of the Improvement
of Glenmore-avc as a connecting link between
the Eastern Parkway and Broadway in the town
of jamaica The association has proceeded with
it's task in an intelligent spirit, and under its
direction a bill has been prepared for macad-
amzing the avenue mentioned. The first sug-
gcstion was that an asphalt pavement should
be put down, but owing to the fact that sewers
watcrmains. gaspipcs. etc, have st!ll to be lalh
in that part of the city, it became apparent that
Il. costly pavement of any kind would be- mis-
tikr. especially as this means of reaching the
good Long Island roads will not be needed when
the extension of the Eastern Boulevard to High
land Park and Brooklyn Forest is complctcd aS
il probably will be- in the course of four or hvc
years.
The plan now agreed on will meet all present
needs and the expense will not be- great enough
to cause any strong opposition 10 the project.
Mayor Wurstcr has expressed himself rs warm
" favoring the proposed Improvement, of which
he made specific mention in his recent message.

TTRKEY AND THE RED CROSS.

The refusal Of the Turkish Government 10 per
nit the entrance Of the Red Cross workers into
Armenia should be the signal for IA demand by
. the whole civilized world that the Powers which
have undertaken to reforms in Armenia
carried out shall no longer be false 10 their duty
That demand should be made strong and
SO clear that the treaty Powers will no longer
dare to play with the subject. as they have been
doing for months Behind all the cvasions Of
diplomatic language and professions that the
Porte is able and willing to care for its own
people it must now be apparent that the Sultan
has not the slightest intention of doing justice
TO the Armenans. and does not mean that any
Christians whose testimony will be unqucston
ingly received by Europe and AScrica shall
discover the real situation
Hitherto the general conviction Of Armenla's
wrongs has been somewhat tempered by the
plea Of the Turks that the Armcnans were Il
turbulent people given to stirring up trouble,
and that the movements against them were for
the restoration Of peace. Little as this was
accepted as anything more than a lame excuse.
nevertheless it did serve preeXt for III
difference. and for sneers at the reports of Ohi-
RACES as the tales of sentimental missionaries
and the Outgivlngs OF mcndaclous revolution
lists 1t was easy for nations and people who
might ind action against Turkey Improbable
and embarrassing to feel sorry for the Armeni-
ans and at the same time 10 concede the force
OF the Moslem contention that the Government
ought not to be held responsible for excesses
committed by troops in their zeal to put down
rebellion and restore order But 1t cannot be
possible that any portion of the Christian world
can remain Indifferent TO this inhuman rebuff
TO charitable efforts and this violation Of the
spirit of the Geneva Convention. Under the
Red Cross Treaty, as modified by the American
amendments the functions Of the organization
extend to the relief OF general suffering from
fire. pcstilence famine other afiiictiOn, well
as TO the succOr Of those engaged in war. Turkey
is one Of the parties to that agreement, and Is
under every obligation to promote rather than
hinder all philanthropic efforts TO aid sufferers
within the Ottoman dOminions. The Red Cross
Is an international organization, and. If the work
undertaken by Miss Barton were done as pro
yided by the treaty through the international
Committee, no rcproach could be brought by
,he Turks that the distribution among It's sub
Iects was by ANY foreign society" The Red
