his dreadful illness and wonderful recovery.
The reporter met him as he was returning
from long walk, and, saying that he had
heard of his wonderful cure, asked him to
tell the story. When Mr.. Preslaner was
comfortably seated in his pleasant parlor he
told the following story, which, he said, he
hoped everyone who was suffering as he had
suffered would read. His words were as fol-

his duty to tell how much DR.. Williams

Death of Gen. Whiteley.

Gen. Robert Henry Kirkwood Whitley.
u. s. A., retired. a soldier of three wars, died
at his home in Baltimore, Nd, June 0, aged SO
years Gen. Wbiteley was born at Cambridge,
Md, and was the son of Mr.. Arthur Whiteley.
His mother was daughter of Maj. Robert
Kirkwood of the Revolutionary army, and one
of the original members of the Society of the
Cincinnati.
Gen. Whiteley entered West Point Academy
in 1926, and was graduated in 1880. He was CON-
missioned Second Lieutenant in the I'd Art.
by President Jackson, and served during the
Seminole war in Florida. His next service was
in the war with Mexico. in which he again
distinguished himself. After the Mexican war
he was stationed at San Antonio, Tex, where
he had command of the arsenal at the time
of the outbreak of the civil war. He was
offered high position in the Confederate army,
but declined it, and was transferred to Pitts
burg, where he was in command of the Ale
gheny Arsenal during the entire war.
1t is related that while at San Antonio he
had a large sum of money belonging to the
United States Government, and when the civil
war began his wife sewed the money in her
skirts and took it safely to Washington. He
also removed all his papers from the safe in his
office short time before the Confederate Com
mittee of Safety posted q sentinel i'll his office.
Gen. Whiteley left the office the
sentinel was placed in it. The sentinel re-
manned on guard over the safe all day, and in
the evening. when the Committee of Safety
forced the safe door, they found that their
sentry had been guarding an empty safe.
Gen. Whiteey retired from the Army in 1875
with the rank of Brevet Major General, and
removed to Baltimore. where he lived until his
death. His body will be sent to Newark, Dol.
for burial Gen. Whiteley was married in 1880
to Miss Hester Dodson, of Newark, Del, who
lied about 10 years ago. He leaves six daugh-
tiers and two sons.

The Republican National Convention met on
Tuesday at st. Louis. At the hour of going to
press the gold men are ahead. The silver men
from the Rocky Mountain States all day long
Monday were claimed on the Lodge side of the
proposition, because they have been asserting
that as between anything less than free coin

they would support the latter. They held a
conference at the St. Nicholas Hotel, and it did
not take very long for the silver men 10 see
that il Henry Cabot Lodge coBld only command
10 or 20 straightout gold votes. and the seven
silver States and the five Territories will vote
n unit J. B. Foraker would still lack several
votes of securing majority of the Committee
on Resolutions.
In other words. the silver men would hold
the balance of power and create a deadlock. 1t
was something they had not previously con-
sidered. Therefore, according to the program
which has now been practically agreed upon,
there will be three candidates in the field for
the Craftsmanship of the Committee on Resolu-
tons In addition TO the names of Mr.. Lodge
and Mr.. Foraker, there must now be added the
name Of Henry NJ. Teller of Colorado. Just how
long the deadlock, which the silver men hope to
create, will be maintained is as yet an unsettled
question.

lungs is likely to transmit that weakness to
his children. But there Is no reason in the
world why the weakness should be allowed
to develop. There is no reason why the
lungs should remain weak. Weak lungs
predispose a child to consumption. They
provide place for germs to settle. That
IS all that is necessary. Once let the germs
of disease gain a foot-hold, and they in
crease with a deadly rapidity. Pretty soon
the blood is full of them, and SO loses its
heathfulness and its strength giving quail
ties. If the weakness is in some other
organ, the disease will show itself in that
organ. The germs will get into the blood,
just the same and the body will begin to
lose strength. We speak particularly of
consumption because it is most common
because il causes more than one-sixth of
Ill deaths in the world
If there is a weak and crumbly spot in
the foundation of house. the owner clears

That's all that's necessary
That is exactly the thing to do with the
lungs Keep them full of rich red, whole
some blood and the weakness will disap-
pear Decaying tissues will be thrown off,
and new material will be added until the
lungs are well and perfectly strong again.
This is the thing that DR.. Pierce's Golden
Medical Discovery does. This is what
