GOLDEN
~rIEDIcAE~
DISCOVERY.

The invention of DIR. R V. Pierce. chief
consulting physician TO the Invaiids' Hotel
and Surgical Institute, at Buffalo, n. V,
has, during the past thirty years, made a
record in the cure OF bronchial, throat and
lung diseases that fairly entities it TO out
rank all other advertised remedies for these
affections Especially has il manifested its
potency in curing consumption ofthe lungs.
Not every case, but we believe
Fully oS Per Cent.
of all cases of consumption in all its earlier
stages. are cured by DR.. Pierce's Golden
Medical Discovery. even after the disease
has progressed so far as 10 induce repeated
bleedings from the lungs severe lingering
cough with copious expectoration (includ-
ing tubercular ,iatterl, great less of flesh
and extreme eniaeiation and Weakness.
Do you doubt that hundreds Of such cases
reported to us as cured by " Golden Med
ical Discovery were genuine cases OF that
dread and fatal disease You need not take
ourword for it. They have, in nearly every
instance, been so pronounced by the best
and most experienced home physicians,
who have no interest whatever in mis-
representing them, and who were often
strongly prejudiced and advised against
a trial of Golden Medical Discovery"
but who have been forced to confess that
it surpasses, in curative power over this
fatal Inalady, all other medicines with
which they are acquainted Nasty cod
liver oil and its filthy emulsions" and
mixtures, had been tried IN nearly all these
cases and had either utterly failed 20 bene-
ct, or had only seemed to benefit little for
short time. Extract of malt, whiskey,
and various preparations of the hypophos-
phites had also been faith hfully tried in vain.
The photographs of a large number of
those cured of consumption, bronchitis,
lingering coughs, asthma, chronic nasal
catarTii and kindred maiadies, have been
skiilfuiiy reproduced in book of 1000 pages
which viii be mailed TO you, on receipt ofad-
dress and II cents in stamps to cover post

walked From Arkansas to Wash
ingtOn TO show His Device.
From the Philadelphia Record.
Washington, D. c., July IA boy.
hardly 16 years of age. with marked for
eign accent, called at the office of the Sec
rotary of the Navy to-day, and said he
came in response to a letter from the de-
partment. This letter, dated some months
ago. was in reply to one sent apparently
by the boy, who claimed TO have discov-
cred a substance by which vessels would
be rendered unsuitable.
He refused in his original letter TO dis
close the nature of his discovery. The
department had written the usual stereo-
typed answer, saying nothing could be
done until more was known Of the device.
The boy, without means, had walked all
the way from Arkansas to Washington,
for the purpose of showing 10 the officials
what he believed would make his fortune.
As soon s the nature OF his errand was
known he was treated with AN cOnsidera-
ton. He was sent to Chief Constructor
Hickborn, who listened kindly to the
boys story. The construcJor has been
himself a poor boy, and realized the priva-
tions through which the boy before him
must have gone to reach Washington,
only TO meet disappointment He eXplainr
ed as well as he could the use,essness OF
the boys supposed invention. and finally
had Naval Constructor Taylor show the
boy the plans for ship.
The lad was slow to accept the view
taken by the officials, and left eventually
with the notion that 1t was his own inabil-
ity to explain his device and his desire 10
keep it secret that prevented the naval
experts from purchasing ii at once
He said he had walked all the away
from Arkansas. going first to New York
where he saw Edison, who had, presum-
ably out of the Kindness of his heart, Of
fered him SO for the secret invention He
had refused the offer, and had kept on his
toisome way until he found the Washing
ton authorities. There was pathetic
side to the incident, which was not lost
on the officials, as the boy said with a
sigh:
We'll, I guess. I'll have to take my in
Vention to Europe"

TEACHERS OF THE STATE.

Drowned While Bathing.

Drowned While Bathing.
Cumberland Island, Ca, July 16.-The
annual session of the Georgia Teachers
Association is now in full progress, and
while the attendance is probably not quite
so large as 1t was last year, it is thorough
ly representatives. Many of the leading ed
ucators of the state are present and a
very interesting programme of exercises is
in operation. Among the features of the
association already discussed are:
THE Place and Functions of the Nor
NAL School" by President ]. Harris Chap
pell of Milledgeville.
The Place and Functions of the BUSH
ness College" by A. c. Briscoe of Atlanta
The improvements of the Teacher" by
). ID. Bradwell, J. II. Roberts, J. c. Har-
ris, and George S. Napier.
On Wednesday evening Mr.. Otis Ash
more delivered an astronomical lecture on
Other Worlds Than ours" which was
illustrated by about sixty-ive stereopticon
views of the heavenly bodies
An interesting feature of the meeting
is the annual gathering of the county
school commissioners of the state. The
question of local taxation for the support
or the schools was extensively discussed
this morning, and resolution was adopt-
ed asking the legislature to adopt such
legislative means as will secure more
money for the schools through local tax
alton. State School Commissioner Glenn
Is present with large number of the
county commissioners.
Tomorrow the needs of the rural schools
will be discussed by Supt. d. Q. Abbott
of Macon, Hon. II. A. Jenkins of Putnam
county and others.
An accident occurred here this morning
which has cast a shadow over the enioy-
ments of the occasion. Early this morn
ing Miss Mamie Massey of Scotland Ga.
and recent graduate of the normal
school at Milledgeville, was drowned
while bathing in the surf, and one other
lady barely escaped. She thoughtlessly
got beyond her depth, and being almost
alone in the early morning, she could
not be rescued in time to save her life
Heroic efforts of the physicians failed to
! bring back the vital spark. Her remains
will be sent to her home.
Next week the summer institute will
begin and continue for two weeks. The
teachers are in excellent spirits, and It
Is certain that much good will be done
at this large gathering of the educators
of the state.

CHINAMEN WHO LIKE AMERICA.
Wong Chin Foo's Attempt to AdvO-

Gratis.
From the Chicago Tribune.
Wong Chin Foo OF St. Louis. editor %
the Chinese Weekly News, had a talk
with the powers that be at the conven-
tion and endeavorcd TO get permission to
speak to the convention In behalf Of the
Chinese
He wanted to getrn plank In the plat
form recognizing the Chinese and giving
them the full rights of American citizen

Wong Chin Foo said that II the demo-
cratic national convention did not in
corporate a plank IN It's platform Of tho
nature he suggests he would be COM
PEELED to call convention himself and he
believes he can create a new party with
the object In view Of making better cit
liens of Cinnamon.
THE great trouble with Chinese in this
country" said Wong Chin Foo. lis that
they do not enter into the spirit OF Amer
icanism. We have a great many, how
ever, who love this country who have
looked into Its institutions, and who in
tend to make this their homes. and never
intend TO go back TO China. They want
TO have a share OF this government and
TO have the same privileges as the ne
groes and Italians, or any other foreign
born citizen. II is a broad liberal idea,
and Is for the purpose of making good
citizens out Of these aliens. A great many
OF the Cinnamon do not dress as they did
in China, have discarded their queues in
fact have become Americanized. At the
present time we have about 400 Chinese
voters who are true Americans. They
should be entitled to recognition as such.
The Chinese have as grand ideas as any
other peoples. The Confucian's ideas OF
jurisprudence is. in my mind, better than
that of Demosthenes. and much better
than the New York politicians can ever
get at.
II came here with the idea of appearing
before the delegates OF the convention
and talking in behalf Of Cinnamon. There
Is no reason why they should not be
granted the privileges sought. The time
Is coming when they will. Thirty years
ago the people would have called a man
crazy who would dared to have said that

waste of Gold and silver.

Statistics from the royal mint show that
the average cost of renewing the silver
coinage averages $1,000. This represents
six tons Of silver, which are spread over
the United Kingdom yearly. In other
words, the daily unavoidable waste from
the silver coinage IS nearly esq yearly
Gold is not so much used as silver, but
its waste in this way is sufficiently la
inevitable. The mint issues, on an aver
age 4,645,521 sovereigns, and twice that
number Of half sovereigns, yearly The
weight lost by fair wear and tear in the
first is .0396 grains per annum, and in the
second .O551 grains. Should any one care
to work out this sum, he will find that this
