Valuable Thing for Us.

How many people we meet, these days
who complain of tired, worn out feelings
and seem to be very much under the
weather" There seems to be an epidemic
OF ill-health and an unusually large num-
Der OF people are feeling and looking weak
and sickly. But there is fortunately a
way to overcome these miserable feelings
and regain lost health and strength.
Thousands of people have discovered this
way and many of them are giving others
the benefit of their experience. Here is an
interes ting opinion on the subject
Mr.. L. b. Toale, of 1872 De Kalb avenue,
Brooklyn, says I'm the spring and sum-

from weakness and nervous debility. L
tried many remedies but obtained no re-
lief until began taking Duffy's Pure Malt
Whiskey. Since L commenced using it,
my friends are astonished at my improved
appearance
The above opinion has been selected
from thousands of others, all testifying to
the same effect. 1t proves beyond any
custom that for building UP the system
and imparting new life to weak, weary
people Duffy's Pure Malt Whiskey is SIM
ply unequaled. 1t purifieS the blood,

to every part of the body. All grocers
and druggists keep Dufy's Pure Malt,
but in purchasing, care should be taken
to guard against inferior limitations.

HISTORIC PITCHERS.

From the Chicago Newssufn ..syo
Securely locked Behind glass doors and
standing among lot of cups and saucers
of the modern pink-tea variety, there is. in
the apartments of Mrs. Dabb, at one of
the city hotels, cream pitcher that ig-
ured in the historic supper which Mary
Queen of Scots took the night before her
execution.
This pitcher, now more than 300 years
old. and originally owned by the ill-fated
Mary Stuart in spite of its ancient name
and fame. is a very unpretentious-loolSin
affair. 1t is of thin white china, on which
is traced very unobstructive design in
blue and gold, and does not look unlike
the deft ware popular fifty or sixty years
ago.
Mrs. Dabb has had the pitcher but a
short time, having received 1t from her
grandmother, while on recent visit to
her home in the east, but it has been in
the Holman family, Mrs. Dabbs ancestry,
since the sixteenth century.
The Holmans are descendants of the
Plantagenets-the line of kings that sue
ceeded the Normans-and during the mid
die ages the Holmans were quite an Illus.

referring to the tea set of which this
pitcher was a part. This says that the
tea was brought from certain Mistress
Kennedy" and that 1t had formerly be-
longed to her mistress, the Queen or
Scots. Mrs. Kennedy, it will be remem-
bered, was the queens faithful servant.
On the night preceding her execution,
the queen, surrounded by her weeping SER
wants, supped in her apartments at
Fotheringly castle. "She supped SPAR
ingly and soberly, as her manner was"
says one historian. When she saw her
servants weeping, she cheered them and
then assigned to each that portion of her
persnoia belongings she wished each to
have.
After this little feast was over and on
the following day, this pitcher, which Is
now in Chicago, with other things that
were not given away, was doubtless turned
over to Mrs. Kennedy and faithful old
Melvii, for a letter from one of the oficials
connected with the execution says that
this disposition was made of all the dead
queens effects, except her papers.

STORMS KNOCK OUT TRADE.
Business ParaIized i'm the Pacific
Northwest,

Northwest.
Seattle, Wash, Dec. 6-The floods and
storms which have been prevailing in the
Pacific northwest for the past month have
had a very disastrous effect upon COM
mercial business in this section of the
country. Owing to the crippled condi-
ton of the railroads, the lumber business,
which is the chief industry of Washing.
ton, is practically paralyzed. The coast
wise and foreign trade have suffered great
ly, but nothing in comparison with the
interstate and eastern business, and what
is worse, relief does not appear to be near
at hand. At no time within the month
coulds consignments over either of the
transcontinental lines be forwarded with
any certainty of safe delivery. Washouts
on both systems have extended from the
coast through Washington and Montana
to the snow blockades of the Dakotas. The
effect of this delay has been far reach
ing, for in the lumber business of the
state alone there are directly and indi-
rectly about 10000 men engaged.
In nearly all the big business houses,
wholesale and retail, of this city, the gen.
eral stocks are running low, and many
special shipments of holiday goods are
blocked on the through lines between the
coast and St. Paul.
Owing to the blockade, prices of beef and
mutton have risen. Stock raisers have
by reason of the unusual fall of snow on
the other side, been forced to feed their
tributed toward the general advance in
prices. The involved railroads are making
heroic efforts to get control of the prop
erty again.

him: "Dr. A. A. Willis made his third
appearance in Evansville as a lecturer,
and was greeted by a large audience. The
distinguished gentleman has established
for himself an abiding welcome here, and

promise of a feast. DR.. Willis style as
lecturer is easy and yet energetic. 1t

BRYAN's NEW BOOK.

1t Is to BE Called ''The First Battle"
and VIII BE Out Next Month.
Lincoln, Neb., Dec. 6.-The title of Will
liam J. Bryan's book is to be 1.-THE First
Battle"
In the preface he states his reasons for
writing the work, in the following words:
"The campaign of 1896 was a remarkable
one, whether we measure it by the magni-
tude of the issues involved or by the
depth of interest aroused. I have been
led to undertake the present work by a
desire felt by myself and expressed by
others to have the more important Incl
dents of the campaign put into permanent
form for the convenience of those who
have taken part in the contest and for
the use of those who shall hereafter de-
sire to review the struggle.
s'The amount of work done by the ad-
vocates Of free coinage is beyond COM
putation, and the number of those who
took an active part in the contest too
great for enumeration. These facts, to-
gether with the difficulty of choosing be-
tween so many meritorious speeches, have
compelled me to limit the quotations to
the addresses made and papers issued by
persons standing in an official or semi
official capacity, and TO the principal
speeches delivered by myself. I have ad-
ded a brief history of the campaign, in
Guiding a discussion of the election re-
turns, and the significance thereof. 1t has
also been thought best to narrate the part
taken by me in the silver agitation prior
to the convention, and at the request of
the publishers, 1 have included a bio
graphical sketch written by Mrs. Bryan"
1t is understood here that the publishers
will issue the book in the early part of
January.

TAMPA,S NEW PLAY HOUSE.

Cesarine.
Tampa, Fla, Dec 6.-The eyes of the
theatrical world have been on Tampa for
the past week. The advent of a strictly
modern and up-to-date theater, with all
the appointments Of a metropolitan play
house, has had a magic effect, and north
ern and eastern papers are carrying the
descriptive announcements far and wide.
Behind all this beautiful picture, this Wis.,
ion of prosperity, is the realization that
the vast army of tourists, who are jour-
neying to and fro, up and down the land,
can find within the gates Of Tampa a
Mecca of elegance, comfort and amuse-
ment, not to be equalled in any land.
Minnie Madern-Fiske needs no introduce
ton to the public in this country. She is
famous, and especially so, above the Ma
son and Dixon's line, where not only her
dramatic ability has placed her in the
rank of an artist, but where her mental
strength and absolute power for good in
the profession, has gained for her the vice
presidency of the Professional Woman's
League at New York.
Scarcely any one but a person well ac-
ouainted with the work done by this
league can form an impression in regard
TO the influence for strength and good IL
exerts among those who cater to the
amusement of capricious public. Mrs.
Fiske was seen here In a master piece of
