RANDLEMAN, N. c.,
Feb. 6. 1896.
Rev. A. L.. Mendenhall SAYS:
Mrs. Joe Person.
Madam:-lt gives me great
pleasure to testify to the
merits of your wonderful
remedy. When I decided to
give your remedy a trial,
my leg was badly liberated
from the effects of the fever.
1t had bafned the skill of
many eminent physicians,
was very much swollen, and
had two running sores, with
holes to the bone. I could
wear no other than low
quartered shoes, and suf-
fered very acute pain, This
was in 1884 at Toisnot, Will
son county, N. c., and soon
after taking the Kennedy
my leg was entirely cured
and has remained perfectly
we'll ever since.
Very respectfully,
REV. A. L. MFNDENHALL.

Spain, in her old age-when was
it that she was not old?-fnds her
days full of trouble. Once al
most mistress of the world, her
decreritude and poverty have in
vited an uprising of her children
against her. Cuba, to whom she
has been a cruel and exacting step
mother, has almost shaken off her
yoke, and now her children in the
Philippine Islands have revoltcd,
Why she has held them for four
hundred years can only be ex-
planned by Spanish pride. They
have been as worthless to her, in
point of revenue, as a sage-brush
farm. They have not been hers,
in point Of population, for many
years, for the immigration of
Chinese and japanese has long
ago outnumbered the Spanish pop
ulation, which is yearly growing
less-though never numerous.
The islands have long been a mon
umental illustration of the colon
ling ambition that prevailed in
Europe when nations set up
new dependencies without stock
ing them with a sufficient
number Of human beings, A
flag planted on the shore, a
schooner~load, Of people landed,
and the colony was left to work
out it's own salvation with but
be lp from the home gov
erument, and that grudgingly
given. What Spain wanted with
the Philippine Islands she has,
perhaps, known as little as the
knew what they
had for SIair. If she loses the
islands the old grandee will not
lose much, but it is pathetic to
sec a once great nation stripped
Of all her belongings in her de-
crepitude.

SO nervous that h would have to get

-
stantinople that Russia is arrang-
ing with the Sultan for the occu-
patton of Armenia.
Resolutions of sympathy for the
Amenians have been passed by
both houses Of the United States
Congress. Some fiery speeches
we're made.
The House resolution requested
the President to communicate to
the Powers signatory to the Berlin
treaty the profound regret of the
American people and their Gov
ernment that the engagements
made in that convention for the
security of the Armenian Christ
ians had not been performed. Also
that the Government of the
United States expresses its SYM
pathy for the Armenian people
and its hope that the Government
of the Sultan will at once extend
to them full and adequate protec-
ton for the preservation of life,
security of property and the free
exercise of religion.
Representative Hepburn, Re-
publican, of Iowa made a bold
speech, in which he said the reso-
lutions would have no effect on
Europe. At the proper time he
would move an amendment that
the President be directed to fur
nish the Turkish Minister with
his passports and terminate all
diplomatic relations with the Gov
ernment of Turkey.
Mr.. Hit, Republican, chairman
of the committee on foreign affairs,
opposed rash measures, saying
the code of international law was
a better protection than applfu use
from the galleries.
Speakers of each party were
divided between conservative and
extreme expressions. All amend
ments were voted down and the
committee resolutions were adopt
ed by vote of 143 to 26.
There was similar clashing in
the Senate.
English newspapers and public
men have expressed pleasure at
the moral support America tenders
Europe against the Sultan, and
some papers suggest that it would
be even more acceptable If the
United States navy made de-
monstration in Turkish waters.
The Berliner Tageblatt says:
at will be the duty of Continent
al diplomacy to convince America
that England's motives in the
Armenian question are political
and not humane, and thus dis
suade the United States from CO.
operating with England"
A letter received in Boston from
Constantinople says the general
condition in the disturbed dis
tricts of Turkey is not good,
though at some places it has i'm
proved, but confidence is weak.
At Harpool the destitution is ter
rible beyond all comparison with
other places yet heard from. Re
lief work has been authorized
there after pressure from English
and American legations.
A cablegram to the American
Board of Missions says Turkey
refuses Rev. H. s. Barnum leave |
to go to Erzeroum to engage in
relief work for Armenians, saying
the missionaries have proved dis
turbers. "This is punishment
without trial." the dispatch adds.
gu. S. Minister Terrell denounces
the charges as calumny."
Two Armenians are detained at
Ellis island, N. Y, under the i'm
migration laws, until $500 bonds
each are furnished to allow them
to land. They tell stories Of hor-
rible cruelty and wholesale out
rage and murder.

REPUTATION,

"A Source of Satisfaction.
When piano is not being
played upon it is in use
nevertheless. If you doubt
this statement attempt to
completely furnish your
parlor without a piano, and
note the result. Then every
acquaintance naturally as
sociates you with your
piano. Let it be one that
you may well be proud of.
If it is a Fischer Piano, you
can feel that it is beyond
criticism-its reputation is
more than local-the Fisch-
er is known North, South,
East, West, and in every
land.

ROWE AGA| INST WILL JAMS,
Injuries the Marquette Bishops
Chances by Publishing
a Letter.
It Was Sent as a Confidential Missiye,
but Was Made Public
Nevertheless.

MILWAUKEE,, WIS, Feb. 18.-The
fight over the conservation of G. Mott
Williams as Bishop of the Marquette Epis-
copal diocese has developed second SEN
sation, and one that has brought the Right
Rev. P. 7. Rowe, Bishop of Alaska, into
much unpleasant notoriety.
Bishop Rowe wrote to Mr.. Williams a
most friendly and sympathetic letter. In
this letter Bishop Rowe showed kindly
interest, with the result that Mr.. Williams
replied freely and without reserve believ-
ing his letter was to be treated confden-
tally.
1t is this letter that is now causing the
trouble. For the first time Mr.. Williams
appears to have evidenced some feeling in
the matter, and he expressed himself with
out reserve. He stated that 1t would be
just as we'll that they should be. kept out
of office, referring to diocesan officers and
also intimated that it was his intention 10
see that they were kept out. Mr.. Will
liams attacked the delegates in rather
harsh terms.
This letter is held by Mr.. Williams
opponents to be strong proof that the
charges contained in the protest were not
without foundation. Bishop Rowe, in
stead of treating the letter as confidential.
turned it over to the Sault Ste. Marie
delegates, with the result that it has been
printed and sent to every Bishop in the
country.

WANTED AT SPOKANE.
Missing Fresno Confidence Man Who Ran
Away With the Wife of Another

FRESNO, CAL, Feb. 1S.-Charles Good
plies, is wanted in places other than
Fresno. Goodfellow was local sewer con-
tractor who decamped between two days,
leaving number of laborers minus their
wages for several weeks. On the day prior
10 his leaving he cashed city warrant for
SZooO and took the money with him. In
addition to the laborers who were left
without their money several material sup
ply houses have occasion to rue the day
they extended credit to Goodfellow. A
woman who had posed as Goodfe lows
wife during his residence here was left
behind. but some time afterward she, too,
dropped out of sight.
A letter was received to-day by City
Clerk Shanklin which explains who the
pretended Mrs. Goodfellow really was. 1t
was written by a deserted husband and
throws new light on GoodfelloW's accom-
plishments." 1t is as follows:
SPOKANE, Wash, Feb ID
City Clerk, Fresno. CdI.-DEAR SIR: hear
that the police of your city wanted a man by
the name OF Charles Goodfellow, formerly Of
this city. Will you please inform me IL he is
still wanted on the charge of misdemeanor
and can you inform me If there was q woman
with him at the time he in Fresno? He
left here in compa ~ with my wife unlawfully,
back here. Perhaps you could put me in the
possession or some information which might
assist me in capturing him.
j. NJ. ANDERSON Jameson Block.
The officers here will not be able to rem
der Mr.. Anderson any service, for neither
Goodfelow nor the woman has been heard
from since their flight from this city.

BAKERSf|ELO'S MYSTERY.
Diligent Inquiry Fails to Reveal
the Whereabouts of Henry
Brockman.
Valuable Papers Belonging to the
Missing Man Are Found on
Seattle Street.

BAKERSFIELD, CAL, Feb. 18-Henry
Brockman, a well-known resident of this
county for years, is missing, and his
friends are greatly worried. On the 18th
of last November Brockman intrusted
note for $3.50 to Attorney Mcnamara for
collection and then departed, leaving word
to address him at Piute, in care of J. E.
Miller. On December 9 Mcnamara ad-
dressed letter to Brockman informing
him that the note had been collected. A
few days afterward reply came from
Miller that Brockman had left his place,
and he knew nothing of his whereabouts
Here the matter ended until this morning.
Shortly after Brockman left McNamara's
office he went to the Bank of Bakersfield
and left $50, and in return was given GER
tificate of deposit. Recently letter was
received from Seattle from a man signing
himself Jack Levy, informing the bank
that he had found on the streets of that
city Bank of Bakersfield certificate of
deposit for $50, payable to Henry Brock
man, with receipt for $3.50 note pinned
to it, and he stated that if the 81 which he
bad paid out for advertising for Brockman
were sent to him he would forward the
papers.
The bank complied, but all efforts to
ascertain the whereabouts of Brockman
proved Intellectual.

Aspiring Novitiates.

CHICO, CAL, Feb. 1S.-Oroville was a
lively burg Saturday night, and the hall OF
Argonaut Parlor, n. S. G. W., was crowded
with local Natives and visiting members
from Chico and Gridley parlors. The oc-
casion was the comforting of special de-
grees on candidates from Oroville and
Gridley. Coyotes" and "Curly Bears"
mingled fraternally and socially, and
royal time was had
In the afternoon the members of Chico
Parlor No. 81, thirty strong, in four-in-
hands and private conveyances, left Chico
for Oroville. The ride over was pleasure
the roads being in good condition, the
afternoon beautiful one. and the drivers
anxious to show the speed of their ami
mails. Major Barnard drove one four-in-
hand in which were seven people, over in
2 hours and Is minutes. Oroville was
reached before dark and. after dining, the
members were escorted to Argonaut Par
lor's hall, where the initiatory ceremonies
were held.
Gridley Parlor was represented by q
large number, and two of the mem bers
were given the "Curly Bear" degree by
Argonaut Paror. This created much fun,
and those who had never seen it were
highly amused, but it was not much fun
for the candidates.
But the Coy ote" was the king. While
the comforting of this degree was in prog
ress merrimeEt ran riot. When finished
Chico Parlor was congratulated upon the
success of the ceremonies. A f. Jones

Won the Affections of a Grand.
Nephew of the Great Prince
Metternich.
ARE SOON TO BE MARRIED.
The Footlights Favorite Will Be
Mistress of a Romantic Castle
in Tyrol.

PORTLAND, Or, Feb. 1S.-Minnie Rad
cliffe, the actress, who became a great
favorite on this coast in 1892 in the role of
Dearest in Little Lord Fauntleroy," is to
wed an Austrian Duke, so says a private
letter from New York, received here to-
day.
Miss Radcliffe, accompanied by her
mother, an accomplished and refined
woman, spent her last summers vacation
in Europe. In Berlin they were we'll re-
ceived in the American colony, and at an
afternoon reception Miss Radcliffe met the
Duke of Metternich, a granddaughter of
Prince Metternich, Austria's historic
Premier. From all accounts the Dukes
case was one of ''Iove at first sight" Beg
ging permission to pay his respects to the
Radcliffe ladies before his return home
which was granted, he with some of the
ladies of his party, showered much atten-
ton upon the two Americans, until they
became objects of envy to their country
women. The Duke gave all conceivable
evidence of his strong attachment for Miss
Radcliffe, but refrained from pressing his
suit for her hand until the day before his
departure from the Prussian capital.
1t is alleged that Miss Radcliffe's mother
Informed the aristocratic sutton that her
daughter had no dover such as the Gould,
Letter and Vanderbilt girls bestowed upon
their titled husbands. That was not con-
sidered by the nobleman. He argued that
Miss Radcliffe's charming self was all the
treasure he wished for from her family.
The Radcliffes, however, were in no
hurry to give positive answer then, and
prior to the departure of the noble party
from Berlin they were courteousiy invited
to visit the Metternich Schloss, at Inns
bruck, in Tyrol, before they returned
to America. This invitation was accepted
and a month later the RadcIiffes were in
Vienna, en- route to Innsbruck, where, at
The American legation, they were sur
p rised to learn of the great prominence
and enormous wealth of the Metternich
family.
A fortnight's visit at the Metternich
Schloss, so it is stated, settled Miss Rad
cliffe's fate. She became the affianced of
one of the proudest and most respectable
aristocrats in Europe, She now is said to
be in New York City, but very few are
taken into the confidence of the discreet
young woman, and no one knows when
or where the marriage is to be solemnized
The writer of the letter conveying this
bit of news conjectures that the wedding
will in all proba bility take place IN Vienna,
and with great eclat.

Party Leaders to Embark in DaiIy
Newspaper Venture.
FRESNO, CAL, Feb. 10.-Fresno County
Democrats are determined, it seems, to
have party organ. A new /syndi-
cate of leaders of that party has been
organized for the avowed purpose of bring
ing out an unalloyed Democratic daily in
the near future. A note for large sum
has been signed by several prominent
Democrats, which, it is understood, will
be hypothetical for the desired funds.
Editor Dealer of the MADEIRA Tribune is
already on the way to San Francisco to
purchase the plant. Dealer will be one OF
the new papers managers. 1t is upder-
stood that the new daily will absorb ex-
Senator Goucher's weekly, which reached
its fourth issue yesterday. The venture is
based on the prospects of an election for
county officers next November. The pres
ent county officials, with one exception,
are Republicans. In case of an election
the Democrats intend to make a deter
mined fight to displace every man now in
the courthouse.
