has been a good deal said here to-day
about the secretary's appearance in Ma
con and the attempt of the silver club
there 10 have him engage in joint de-
bate with Congressman Lon Livingston.
The silverites papers have made a great
blow about the refusal Of the Sound Money
Club Of Macon TO grant a division Of time
with Col. Livingston. claiming that this
was a square backdown. after general
challenge had been issued to all corners
to meet Secretary Smith.
Behind these claims Of the silverites,
however, there is a story that Is anything
but creditable to those who took part in it.
II IS known upon the best authority that
the idea of offering Col Livingston as the
champion of silver 10 meet Secretary
Smith in Macon had its origin in Atlanta.
Col. Livingston had been here for several
days hob-nobbing with the cheap money
boilers and it may be that he himself was

here last night by one of Col Living

Livingston could have secured a hearing
from the same platform with the secreta-
Ty. Col. LiVingstons most devoted
friends do not claim that he knows any
thing about the financial quest ton, but
their plan was to let him make one Of his
characteristic harangues in a personal
vein that would anger Secretary Smith be-
yond control and cause an Outburst from
him which would break up the meeting
in row. Secretary Smith, however,
would have refused to make any speech
at all before he would have met Col. Liv-
ingston on the same platform, and the
Sound Money Club therefore promptly
turned the scheme of the Atlanta crowd,
who wanted 10 insult the Secretary of the
Interior and break up his Macon meeting
in fight, adrift. Secretary Smith would
not discuss the matter to-day ex-
cept to say that he would
not have consented to a division of time
with Col Livingston under any circum-
stances, although he would meet any 9TH
er free silver advocate on earth in joint
debate.

good if he feels utterly incapable of work,
It is pretty sure sign that his digestion is
out of order that his principal trouble is
constipation. If he lets this condition run
on, there is no telling where it will stop.
Nine -tenths of all human sickness comes
from constipation. The first thing that
every doctor asks when he is called to see
patient is whether the bowels are in good
order. It is nonsense to call doctor for
such simple thing. 1t is nonsense to let
such a simple thing grow into such serious
thing, as il always does if neglected. DR..

They not only afford immediate and pleas
ant relief from all the distressing symp-
toms, but they cure permanently and posi-
lively. There are 10, 900 medicines that can
be taken, to give temporary relief The
Pleasant Pellets are the only things that
really cure.

that an honest druggist would give you

know what that reason is-he makes big
ger profit on the other thing. Any drug

THE SPECTRAL LEMUR.
Luminous Nocturnal Eye of the Monkey
oldest Relative.

Luminous Nocturnal Eye of the Monkeys
oldest Relative.
The spectral lemur, who lives in the
Malay archipelago, has about the oldest
appearance of any known animal. In
this newspaper you will see the first
really lifelike picture of him ever
printed.
This little animal is relative of the
monkey. Naturalists give the name OF
primates to the group of animals con-
sisting of man, the monkeys and tbs
lemurs because they come first for de-
scription. Of all the primates the spec
trail lemur comes first for oddity of per-
sonal appearance.
His greatest but not his only pc
culiarity is to be found in his eyes,
which are enormous. They cover the
greater part of his face, leaving only
room for a ridiculously small nose.
In color the eyes are a greenish yell
low and are exceedingly luminous at
night. They shine out green and bril-
liant, when the rest of the body is to-
tally invisible to man. This is how the
little lemur has acquired the title of
spectral.
The specter is only six or seven
inches long and lives in the dense for
ests of the Malay archipelago, where
there is darkness at all times. He makes
