BOLT NOT PROBABLE
Illinois Democrats VIII Not Split on
the Money Question.

Chicago, May 22.-Gov. Altgeld came to
town last evening to take personal charge
of the Democratic silver campaign in the
county, which will eliminate in the con-
vention next week. He ridiculed the talk of
the aufi-silver Democrats bolting the oOun
ty or State conventions of the party and de-
ciared that after the county convention the
gold standard politicians would be found
working hard for the ma jority-
1t was expected that meeting of the
Democratic sound none y yorganiza ation would
be held yesterday to decide on the question
of holding a separate primary election and
convention, but there was cessation of
talk in the bolting strain. Instead the or
ganiZation issued a statement merely de-
nouncing the methods OF the silver ma
iority. The situation last night did not
point to a bolt.

petite and q relish for their food. Hard
worked men and women, the nervous,
weak and debilitated, ret new strength,
fresh nervous energy and a purer, more
vigorous blood supply from Paine's
celery compound.
This N ost valuable nerve AMI brain
invigorator and restorer practically
demonstrates the lifelong conviction of
its eminent discoverer, Professor
Phelps, M. D LII. D., of Dartmouth
College. Professor Phelps was for q
long time convinced that sound nutri-
ton was the keystone OF fem health
aud tina. where there were signs OF
poorly nourisned nerve tissues, and of
thin, pale colored blood. some means
must be devised to supply these de-
ficiencies briskly and rapidly. Pro-
lessor Phelps prepared Paine's celery
compound on this basis. Il has proved
an invigorator, streDQthener and great
spring purifier, such as the world has
never eDj Dyed before our day.
Tomorrow, or nexi day. or the day
after Is not soon enough to look about
getting rid of weakness or disease. Take
PAine's celery compound to day. There
is no time equal to these ear y spring
days for throwing off poor health.
There are few persons who do not need
to tako o spring remedy.
Many not downright sick, but tired or
ailiug, would be immensely benefi ted
by taking Psine's celery compound, es-
pecially at this particularly favorable
season of the year
This great compound will banieh that
tired feeling, cleanse the blood and reg

The Homo of the Satana.

The greatest natural wonder in Java IL
not in the entire world, is the justly ccle-
brated "Gheko Kamdka Gumko," or
Home Of the Hot Devils, =" known to the
world as the "Island of Fire" This geo
logical singularity is really a lake of boil
ing mud situated at about the center of
tho plains of Grobogana and is called an
island because the great emerald sea of veg
citation which surrounds it gives 1t that
appearance. The "island" is about two
miles in circumference ard is situated at q
distance of almost exactly 90 miles from
Solo. Near the center of this geological
freak immense columns of soft, hot mud
may be seen continually rising and falling
like great timbers thrust through the boil
ing substratum by giant hands and then
again quickly Withdrawn. Besides the
phenomenon of the boiling mud columns
thore are scores of gigantic bubbles of hot
slime that ill up like huge balloons and
keep up series Of constant explosions, the
intensity of the detonations varying with
the size of tho bubble. In times past, SO
tho Javanese authorities say, there was q
tall, spirelike column of baked mud on the
west edge of the lake which constantly
belched pure stream of cold water, but
this has long been obliterated, and every
thing is now seething mass of bubbliDg
mud and slime, u marvel to the visitors

What the Horns Sounded.

There WAS always plenty of tongue and
men loved the gallant Gliding" which
so onrapturod Shakespeare. Last of all,
after endless doubles and beating of the
water and all the thousand stratagems of
the hunted deer, tho pursuers by slotting
and rclaying, but mainly by honest hunt
ing, run up 10 their stag, and he turns to
bay. And then comes such hulabaloC of
horns and halloos and baying of hounds rs
never was heard-all of it prolonged to
the utmost, that every hound and every
sportsman may come up before the dealing
of the death stroke. And then the horns
changed their note and blow tho hart,
which etiquette forbade to be blown till
that supreme moment, and herewith fol-
lowed elaborate ceremonies for cleaning
the deer and preparing for the worry, or,
Us it was called, quarry (ouree).
Finally the master and the gentlemen
next in rank TO him held up the deer S
head above tho hounds portion and Skill
fully Loud the master cried out, ''Dedow
lead hob, which was the signal for blood
ing the hounds and for fresh outburSt of
noise. Halo every wight and every man
blow the death is the order in tho book,
and they kept on halloing and blowing,
for IL was the rule that as often as any
man began TO blow the rest should bear
him fellowship. Then came fresh blast
for the coupling of the hounds, with n
pause of an Ave Maria while between
tho notes, yet another blast when the
hounds went homo and final concert led
by tho master on arriving at the hall.
Thus the whole countryside knew when
their lord had killed his deer and rejoiccd
accordingly. -Macmillan's Magazine.
