It may be a surprise to many to know that where Westminster abbey now stands was once the town of Westmins- ter. with tts streets and its people, on the Thorny island, and that all around 1t, what is now the most fashionable and busy part of London was low, marshy ground.

DR. RHODES SAYS
That Chronic Catarrh of Long Standing Can
 Be Cured.

J. D. Rhodes M. D., of Hodges, Miss, in writing pr. Hartman recently, says: "I can recommend your remedies to be as you claim and more, too. fec; no hesttancy in saying that I a Fl compelled to use &hem in my pra ctice,and that they do good Tor those who are troubled and suffering with rheumatic pains, chronic or nasal catarrh, kidney, liver or lung diseases of long standing. Would say further that they are the best proprieta- " medicines have ever seen and have practiced in different states"
 A dose of Pe-ru-na before each meal during the cold season Is a safeguard of priceless value. especially to those who are in the least subject to frequent coughs or colds or other effects of win tery climate. Catarrh cannot be cured by local treatment A thorough course of internal treatment with Pe-ru-na af- fords the only reasonable prospect of cure Sprays, touches, inhalants and gargles sometimes relieve, but never cure. Pe-ru-na cures by removing the cause. It gradually eradicates the catarrh from the system, wherever it's location.
 An illustrated treatise of GA pages by Dr. Hartman on catarrh will be sent free to any address by The Pe-ru-na Drug Manufacturing Company of Columbus, Ohio.

A specialist treats only a special or particular class of diseases I have the distinction of being the only physician in the south controlling sufficient practice in Private Diseases to devote my whole time to their cure.
 This daily contact for year after year with such troubles gives experience. Ex- perience is essential to success.
 My Medical Dispensary was established in the city of Birmingham August 8. 1887. for the exclusive cure of Private Dis eases. Privacy is one of its special fea- lures. It is so arranged that one patient never necessarily sees another People who have social relations to sustain ap- preciate this. The very best people are often unfortunate and dislike to consult their family physician through feelings of delicacy. To them I offer safe, sure cure and perfect privacy.

You note the difference in children. Some have nearly every ailment, even with the best of care. Others far more exposed pass through unharmed. Weak children will have continuous colds in winter, poor digestion in summer. They are with out power to resist disease, they have no reserve strength. Scott's Emulsion of cod-liver oil, with hypo- phosphites, is cod-liver oil partly digested and adapted to the weaker digestions of children.

THE BRICK MAKERS
They Will Form an Organization to FIgh
Chinese Labor

Under Pharaoh S rule it is said that the
men who made bricks were not furnished
with straw, thus adding considerably to
the burdens of a life which had not up
till then been a paradise of bliss. Il is
highly presumable that they held night
ly conferences and discussed this partic-
ular grievance. From conference to or
ganization was but n step. The walking
delegate got in his work and received
the usual amount of abuse for his
trouble until the original labor agitator,
the great and only Moses, stepped to the
bat and made home run. From that
year to the present Ammo Domini, the
great original has had emulators whom
the world has generally hung and after
ward canonized. The counterfeits have,
on the contrary, been hOnOred in life
and abused after they were dead and
couldn't talk back.
An Angelina walking along the adobe
road in the vicinity of the brick yards
on Wednesday night would have wit
messed a strange sight. Inside brick
kiln were gathered about one hundred
men discussing this old straw PROPOSE
ton again. Speakers mounted on wheel
barrows were addressing the meeting,
and loud cheering and applause issued
from this seeming inferno. The light
from two lanterns threw a feeble glare
over the gathering revealing Caucasian
and Ethiopian pledging each other 20
defend this, the last ditch to which Mon
golian labor had driven them.
The straw question today assumes this
phase. A few owners of brick yards
have lately introduced Chinese help into
their yards, but no effort was made to
stem the tide. But when the Inglewood
firm, Houlihan & Griffith, secured d
plant on the adobe road short time ago
and put forty Cinnamon to work, then
the American workingmen knew that
their occupation was gone, for the Mon
golian never abandons until he has won
the field. They appealed to organized la.
Dor, and the following committee was
sent to their assistance: George Beard,
A. Vinette, William Wilson, H. f.
Dewey and J. r. Walker. A temporary
organization was formed, and they Will
form a permanent union at Council Of
Labor hall tomorrow night. Eighty
four names are now on the roll, and
a committee of three was selected to
visit every brick yard in the city and
secure applicants. X x

The witness stated that he had known
Soledad C. Yndart very well, and as her
friend advised her from the fall of 1869
to her death. Saw her two or three
weeks prior to her death in March 1872.
He left for Mexico about the 18th OF
March of that year. She was very Ill

that lady did not move into it until 1873,
for he remembered she made complaint
about the heavy rains having splashed
the mud onto the house.
BY no means the least curious feature
of the case is the fact that the alleged
agreement of trust is dated just three
days before a memorandum of settle
ment, made when Soledad F. Yndart
was approaching the grave. This in.
strument is not disputed, and is as fol-
