A young man went to very wealthy
and successful manufacturer short
time ago and applied for employment
what can you do?" the manufacturer
said, and the young man proceeded to
tell IN glowing terms of his wonderful
ability.
But don't want to know what you
say you can do" TIE gentleman re-
piled, Let me know what others say
you have done. Bring me recommen-
dations from people l know and can
trust"
It's the same way with medicines.
People don't want to know what the
manufacturers say they CAN do, but
what those who have used them say
they HAVE done. In presenting
Doan's Kidney Pills we do not simply
tell you that they are a sovereign rem

tell you what they have done; people
whose statement you can verify any
day, and about whose testimony there
cannot be the slightest shadow of q
doubt. One case of particular interest
in this connection is that of Mrs. JAS
Ferris, who lives at 491 Fifth avenue

pain in my back was so bad, and there

could not do any work, and was scarce
ly ever free from these terrible pains in
my back A couple of months ago my
husband saw Doan's Kidney Pills ad-
vertised, and we decided to try them,
although l am free to confess that we
did not haye much faith that they
would help me. The result was de-

day morning the class of '96 did not
hold their exercises on the campus as
expected but made use of Andrews

audience. The exercises were unusual

Henry M. Dawes was master of cere-

The new American line steamer St.
Paul is expected to eclipse all her three
sisters in speed and general efficiency.
Whether she can out travel the New
York and the Paris remains to be seen,
but that she will prove faster than the
st. Louis seems probable. The action Of
the St. Louis has been carefully watch
ed BY her builders since she has been on
the sea, and some few changes have been
made accordingly in the finishing of Of
the st. Paul. which are believed to be
improvements. The relative speed Of the
ST Louis and St Paul on the one hand
and Of the New York and Paris on the
other will be test Of the comparative
merits Of shipbuilding at home and
abroad Tho New York and the Paris
are among the best specimens Of British
steamer construction.

One of the strangest sea fatalities
ever recorded was that by which the
commander of all the Spanish naval
forces in Cuba and 45 officers and crew
of the cruiser Barcastegui lost their
lives in the nighttime off the coast Of
the Cuban port of Barcastegui. In the
darkness the merchant steamer Mortera
was approaching the port. Her captain
saw the cruiser s green light and signal
ed accordingly. The cruiser whistled
back twice, and all seemed correct.
Then suddenly all was darkness, and
the cruiser was seen no more till the
Mortera struck her and sank her. The
electric signal lights on the cruiser
went out because it was necessary to
stop the engines in order to save the life
Of common sailor who had got caught
in the dynamo. From this stopping Of
the engines came all the disaster. Ger
tainly it is not safe to leave the signal
lights Of steam vessel dependent
wholly on the working of an engine.
Electric signal lights are not reliable
under such circumstances.

SILVER may secure recognition at
the hands of the senators and con-

if Cleveland will sign the bill. The
senate committee Monday decided to
eliminate the house bond bill and rec
ommend a 'sfree-coinage of silver''
substitute. The proposed bill leaves
it optional with secretary of the treas
ury to redeem greenbacks with gold or
silver and provides for the retirement
OF bills of a less value than $40. Won

lis Tribune still agree that the silver

Gold Mining In Canada.

It would be strange if large portion
Of the worlds future gold should be
mined in the northern portion Of North
America, the cold, icy region of the
polar bear and musk OK The greed of
man would secure it, however, though
it were hidden under the very founda-
lions Of the north pole itself. One man
would keep up the fire to melt the ice
while another dug, and they would d.
vide the profits.
Besides the Yukon gold and that in
the region north of Dakota discoveries
in the northwest corner of the province
Of Ontario make it rather a matter of
wonder that the gold seekers have flock
ed thither in no larger numbers than
they have done. Gold bearing veins of
more or less richness have been found
along the northern edge of Lake of the
Woods and in the neighborhood of Seine
river and Bad Vermillion lake and
Shoal lake. The structure of the land
surface is evidently volcanic, and the
upheavals were tremendous. The gold
is found in quartz veins, and therefore
requires the aid Of stamping mills to
obtain it. That, perhaps, is the princi-
pal reason why there has been no such
rush to the mines as might have been
expected. Very little outside capital has
been put into the diggings as yet, all
though undoubtedly investments there
would pay rich returns. Some of the
best ore, roughly milled, yielded $115
ton. This was in the vicinity of Bad
Vermillion lake. Here is an opening for
both capital and labor.

Uniting New York and BROOKLYN.
That part Of Long Island sound ex-
tending from Harlem river to the south
=ern point Of the island, on which New
= J. o q. city is situated, is called East
river "a writer in the New York World
has q great scheme, which he believes
will really unite New York and Brook

etfectually bring down the exaggerated
rents inhabitants Of the larger Of the
two cities are now forced to pay. The
scheme is nothing less than the filling
up Of East river from Brooklyn bridge
to Eighty ninth street.
With the one bridge and the slow and
clumsy ferries it takes as long to 90
from the upper limits Of New York to
the outer edge Of Brooklyn as it does to
go to Philadelphia in a fast train. Fill
ing up East river would make the two
cities one and give room for all the rapid
transit needed. It is not the idea Of Mr..
Isaac a. Hopper, whose brain evolved
the plan, to shut off Long Island sound
from Hudson river. On the contrary,
under his plan the Harlem river would
be widened and deepened to a ship canal,
carrying vessels of the heaviest draft.

Then great sea walls would be built
both at the Brooklyn bridge and Eighty
ninth street, shutting off the sound wa
ters completely. The land between could
be filled in and give that much increase
OF territory to the two Cities The cost
is put at $3.50, 100000. After all, this
IS not much more Of an undertaking
than the little kingdom Of Holland is
now engaged in in the shutting off of
