A LUCKY CHANCE FOR THE SICK

suffer from nervous, chronic or long
standing complaints do not have the
same opportunity to be cured as do the
residents of the great cities where the
most eminent physicians and special
lists reside In other words, our people
are debarred from seeking cure by the
great and skilled physicians owing to
the cost of travel to the large cities and
the high fees charged by such physi-
clans.

sick of our community which should not
be lost. DR.. Greene, of 80 West 14,h

The export of horses from this coun.
try to Europe has increased largely in
the last two or three years. During
the first eight months of last year 22,-
755 horses, valued at 80, 947, 900, were
shipped to British ports, as against
Is, GA in the same period of 1894, and
1O,177 in 1898 The shipments to
Continental ports show a large in
crease too. The varieties of horses in
demand are different in almost every
country in Europe, varying, of course,
with the kind of work they are needed
for, although in many cases very diff
ferent styles OF horses are demanded
in different countries for precisely
similar work. Despite the astonish-
ing fall in the value of range horsesln
the West, horse breeders in the South
and East think the future is very
promising.

MEN WILL BE TAXED.
Virginia Women Will Organize a
Society to Promote Matrimony.

NORFOLK. Va. March 1.-THE women of
the W. c. T. L. of Portsmouth will shortly
organize a unique society to be known as
the Naples matrimonial society," They
think that the organization Of this society in
this city will be followed by the organization
of similar societies by the w. {. T. I.
throughout the country, and that they will
eventually take the place of various matri-
monial bureaus now in operation in various
northern cities. In Naples. girls IA years
old and over assemble once every year in
one of the churches of that city, and the un-
married men who so desire go there and
choose wives.
The proposed society will carry out a sim
liar arrangement here, except that the girls
who desire to assemble in a church to be
thus chosen will have to register with the
society three months ahead of the date so
that the society may satisfy itself that they
are girls of good moral character, and the
men who are to apply at the church on these
occasions to select brides will be required to
register three months prior to the date of
choosing. Men will be required to pay a
registration fee of 81. but girls will be al
lowed to register free. The principal object
is to afford girls who desire to marry an OPP
portunitv to secure temperate and industri-
Gus husbands.

great difference of opinion in England.
These differences are ON strictly party lines.
khartoum is, without question, the real OBJ
ject of this military movement. aud half

Every one awaits George CurZon's state

the bitter. acrimonious tone OF articles. ar-
cusing the British of bad faith ON the evac-
uation Of Egypt question, are edCer to see If

These Cubans are members Of prominent

commander fell into the trap, and or
dered the cutter on the ways two days
later. The Boutwell, was in such condition
that going to sea was out OF the queS-

the ways and dropped down the river, half
mile below the disabled revenue cutter
