Not to be Trified With.
From Cincinnati Gazette

Will people never learn that "cold
is an accident to be dreaded, and that
when it occurs treatment should be
promptly applied? There is no know
ing where the trouble will end and
while complete recovery is the rule,
the exceptions are terribly frequent,
and thousands upon thousands OF fatal
illoesses occur every year ushered in
by a little injudicious exposure and
seemingly trifing symptoms. Beyond
this, there are to-day countless invalids
who can trace their complaints to
"colds," which at the time of occurrence
gave no concern, and were therefore
neglected. When troubled with cold
use Chamberlain's Cough Remedy. u

FRIDAY EVENING, MAR. 27, 1886.

ACCORDING TO the few outgivings OF
the executive committee of the ad-
visory board of the A. P. A., recently
in session ct Washington, that organi-
cation intends to attempt to control
both the national political conventions,
to the extent, at least, of preventing
them from nominating candidates who
are not opposed to elevating to Office
Catholics and men who are not native
born citizens of this country. And yet,
had it not been for the help ofCatholics,
and of men not born within the limits
of the original thirteen States OF the
Union, General Washington would
have been "rebel" and all the Prot
estants and other sons of those States
who fought under him been TRAITORS "
and the Revolutionary war been an un-
successful rebellion" And, besides,
many ofthose who have reflected honor
upon the country in all the various
walks of life belonged to those classes
whom the A. P. A. propose to prescribe
and ostracise.

Tired Of Living.

ST. LOUIS, No., Mar. N.-Of FIVE
trials at suicide here yesterday three
were successful. Mrs. John J. Has.
singer took poison and died at $50 D.
m. August Miller took poison without
effect and then shot himself fatally. He
had failed in business. George Weise
killed himself with poison. He had

death to disgrace. Joseph Fouser, a
scenic artist, took laudanum but was
pumped out. Belle Lyons, courtesan,
took carbolic acid and fought off the
doctors until she was strapped to a
table, when she was relieved.

IT Is reported in Washington that
the President will soon send special
message to Congress on the Cuban
question. If the report be true, it is
hoped, for his own sake, that Mr..
Cleveland will remember that in his
last annual message, he said:
"Whatever may be the traditional
sympathy of our countrymen as lndi-
viduals with a people who seem to be
struggling for larger autonomy and
greater freedom, deepened as such sym
pathy must be in behalf of our neigh
bors, yet the plain duty of the govern
nent is to observe in good faith the
recognized obligations of international
relationship"

A VIRGINIAN COMPLEMENTARY
Columbus, Ohio, State Journal pub.
fishes very interesting account of the
annual exhibition of the Gymnasium
Club, of the kenyon Military Acad-
emy,n under the guidance and direc-
ton of Capt. Thomas Blackford, COM
mandant of that celebrated military
school, and says: ';For several months
the club has been practicing and when,
on the run, he led them across the great
gymnasium, a handsome body of young
athletes, clad in various colored tights,
they were greeted with spontaneous
burst of applause by an immense audi
encs, and after bow of acknowledge
ment the performers ran to their posi-
tions and in twinkling arranged them
selves so as to form the letters, K. M.
A. Then the serious work began, con.
tinuing for two hours. In all Captain
Blackford distinguished himself. A
graduate of the Virginia Military In.
stitute, he went to that school, seeking
health and left it prize athlete. He
came to Kenyon Military Academy with
the reputation of being the best athlete
In Virginia, and it would be hard among
amateurs to find his superior. Captain
Blackford has not only won an enviable
reputation as professor, commandant
and disciplinarian, but he has demon.
strated the great value in the develop.
ment of delicate boys, and of scientific
gymnasium work"
Captain Blackford is the son of Mr..
Blackford, the competent and efficient
superintendent of the Insane Asylum at
Staunton.

COURT OF APPEALS.

The most interesting case decided in
the Court of Appeals yesterday was
that of Gordon VS.. Whitlock ct al. Mr..
Charles E. Whitlock, a well-known
capitalist and business man of Rich
mond, killed himself in Philadelphia on
January II, 1895. Deceased was then
under medical treatment for some ner-
vous trouble. He left an estate valued
at million dollars or more. Five test
amentary papers were left. The Chan
Gerry Court of Richmond accepted Nos.
1, 2, 8 and 4 as together constituting
his last will and testament. No. 5 was
rejected on the ground that Mr.. Whit
locks mind was unbalanced by his
physical sufferings at the time and was
incapable of making will. This codi-
Gil revoked bequest of $15, 900 to the
wives and children of his three me-
phews. Mr.. James r Gordon, one of
the executors, took an appeal against
Mr.. James G. Whitlock, the other ex-
ecutor. Judge Harrison rendered the
opinion and affirmed the decree of the
Chancery Court,
Opinions were also handed down in
the following cases:
Rudd VS.. Farmville and Powhatan
Railroad Company, from the Circuit
Court of Powhatan county. Affirmed.

cult Court of Buckingham county. At

THE OFFICE holders in various parts
of the country still insist that Mr..
Cleveland is the only man the national
democratic convention can nominate,
on sound money platform, who will
have any chance Of success. They are
probably correct, as an immense sum
of money could be raised to buy his
election. But as there is no probabili-
ty that the convention will adopt any
such platform, there Is hardly any that
Mr.. Cleveland will be its nominee,
though it is possible that he may be
nominated by those who may bolt that
convention.

BAD OFF as the people of this country
imagine themselves to be, that their
condition is, better than that of those

least supposed to be, by the people of

that nearly four thousand OF them ar
rived at New York during two days Of

THE NEGROES of Texas took control
of the republican convention of that
State. That is just what they should
have done, and what those in Virginia
should do. They supply the republic
can party with the whole of its really
effective strength, and should there
fore, especially according to republi-
can professions, exercise the rights of
the majority, and send the silly whites"
to the rear, where they belong.

that city for violating the law which
requires that all silverware stamped
sterling shall be of .925 6neress,
