An rHDIAr FIGHTER SUFFERS AooN-
les FROM DISEAsE


Bs Was in the Battle with the Apache.
Whom Gcroni,no was Captured.
FROM Ae Press, Nsto York Cuy.
Worn With the exposure Of army life on
the frontier, and poisoned by the continual
drinking Of slkah water, Joseph Fiegauf
returned to Philadelphia eight years ago,
broken down In health and unable TO do any
work.
He had served i've years with the Ninth
United States Infantry In many desperate
fight with the Indians In Arizona and other
frontier States and had won an enviablc
record. In the fierce conflict when Geronimo,
the famous chief OF the Apaches, was cap
turcd, Mr.. Flegauf was among the brave
soldiers who, forge,ful OF everything but
duty. charged upon the hostile Indians.
Life ON the plains sent to an untimely
death many soldiers who we're never touched
by redskins bullet or arrow, and Mr.. Pie
gauf came near such fate IA that. long
time before his timc was out he was taken
seriously i'll. but he stuck TO his post until
an honorable discharge was finally given to
him.
When he reached Philadelphia. the Indian
lighter was scarcely more than skin and
bones, and for three weeks he lay desperate
ly ill In a hospital. lie felt dizzy and his
stomach felt as n II had dried IN These
symptoms were accompanied 10y bloody dys-
entcry. which no medicine seemed TO relieve.
After two years OF suffering Mr.. Plegaui
came to New York aud was treated by sew
eral physicians. These did not agree. some
calling his disease cataarh ot the stomach,
and Others chronic diarrhpa.

IN New York. about "a year ago, Mr.. Flegaui
has been so I'll that his voice and hearing al

Then all medicines fniled and the sick man
had little hope Of rS,ovrry. Al this critical
time Dr. Williams Pink Pills fer Pale pco-
Pile wore recommended 10 Mr.. Flrrauf. and.
almost n last hope, he began taking them.
The beneficial effect of the medicine was
felt at once. Mr. Flrguuf told the reporter,

President and Cabinet.

"ln all important matters the Prcsi.
dent ia consulted by all the Secre-
tarics," writes ex. President Harrison
in the Ladies's Home journal. IN an
article upon 1.-The Presidents Duties.
"He is responsible for all executive
action, and everything that is out of
the routine receives his attention.
Every important foreign complication
is usually discussed with him, and the
diplomatic note receives his approval.
The same thing is true of each of the
departments. Routine matters pro.
ceed without the knowledge or inter.
ference of the President; but, if any
matter of major Importance arises the
Secretary presents 1t for the consid-
Grafton and advice of the President.
Only matters OF great and general i'm
portance affecting the general policy
of the administration are discussed in
the Cabinet meetings-according To
my experience-an votes are of rare
occurrence. Any Secretary desiring
to have an expression upon any ques-
tion IN his department presents it, and
it Is discussed; but usually questions
are settled in conference between the
President and the head of the particu.
lar department. There is n yielding
of views, now on one side, now on the
other; but it must, OF course, follow
that when the President has views that
he feels he cannot yield, those views
must prevail, for the responsibility is
hiu hntb IN A Constitutional and ,,n,,-
ular sense. Ny habit was to give an
afternoon to each Cabinet officer, on
fixed day of the week. These meetings
were chiefly given up to the cousid-
Grafton Of appointments, but if any
other matters were pending, and
deemed by the Secretary of sufficient
Importance, they were presented and
discussed. The labors of n Cabinet Of
ficer are incessant and full OF responsi.
bility. His time is largely taken up
with calls, and, like the President, he
must, out of such fragments of time
as he can secure, manage to study and
decide the important questions that
are daily presented 10 him. Certain
appointments, chiefly OF clerical
character, are by law given to She
heads of the departments, and With
these the President usually refuses to
interfere, though often urged to do
80. 1t was my practice TO refuse 60
send ,any card of recommendation to
a Secretary, thought ] spent many "A
weary hour explaining IL friends Rhy

RATTLESNAKE WINE.
II IL a Favorite Medicine in the West
Indies,

Benjamin GoOch. in his Medical and
Surgical Observations" published In
l77l, gives a summary of different an
cicnt therapeutic methods. based on
the use of animal poisons. one of his
observations relates 10 Il case of severe
pains, spasnS. etc, of long duration.
Gooch says, after speaking of the pa
tents sufferings: Not Ia appear in
human 20 81 wrctchod being, after
telling him could do nothing. ! sent
him bottle of rattlcsnake wine 10
take Il glass of frequently. This was
in the West Indies drank as the high
est cordial Three nights after the
patient walked in Sir said lac. you
cannot be- 50 much amazed as am, nor
half SO much pleased, | am come to
thank you, and. II not criminal, to
worship YOU" Gooch's account of
how hc learned the virtues of rattle.
snake wine is as follows "A very
wealthy old gentleman In the West
Indies had long been afflicted with
lcproSy 70 Il high degree, which was
deemed incurahlc 10y his physicians.
Apparently in Il dying state, he made
his will, leaving Il large legacy To n
female servant, who had lived with
him many years This circumstance
being known to the servant. she and
her paramour studied and contriycd
how to make away with him In such
q manner as TO raise the least suspicion.
They put the heads of rattlcsnakes into
the wine he drank thinking il would
prove an infalliblc poison; on the con
trary, hc grew better, and the Grimm
ais, imagining the poison was not
strong enough, added more snake We
nom, whereby the gentleman was re-
stored TO perfect health. Conscience
finally put this servant upon her knees
before her master, confcssng her
crime Forgiveness was granted, aud
the old gentleman gave her sum of
money ordering her ~ depart and
never see him more"

rightly directed. There Is comfort in
the knowledge that so many forms of
sickness are not due to any actual dis

ly removes. That is why II Is the only
remedy with millions of families, and is
everywhere esteemed 80 highly by all
who value good health. Its beneficial
effects are due 20 the fact, that IL is the
one remedy which promotes internal
cleanliness, without dcbilitating the
organs on which it acts. II is therefore
all important, in order TO get its bcne-
fetal effects, TO note when you pur-
chase, that you have the genuine article,
which Is manufactured by the California
Fig Syrup Co. only, and sold by all rep

IL in the enjoyment Of good health,
and the system Is regular, then laxa-
tivcs or other remedies are not needed.
If afflicted with any actual disease. one

then one should have the best, and with
the wcll-informcd everywhere, Syrup OF
Figs stands highest and is most largely
used and gives most general satisfaction.

TO OPEN RACE TRACKS.

THE OUTLAW TRACK OWNERS
WILL MAKE AN EFFORT TO
OPEN IN DELAWARE.
A desperate effort will be made at
this session of the Legislature to have
new pool-law, legalizing horse rae
ing with a book making attachment in
this state. The racing men who are at
present operating the tracks at Iron
Hill and Singerly have long wished to
secure a hold in this state and have
racing all the year round. William J.
Thompson, of Gloucester fame, is said
to be behind the project.
Rumor gives the location Of thetrack
which IL is proposed to have legalized
as Claymont, which is near the Penn
sylvania line, and near enough to Phil
adelphia, Wilmington and Chester to
draw the race betters from each
city. If such a law is passed as the rae.
ing element desires, a mile track viii
doubtless be opened there.
It is evident that the racing elemen
which is now running the Cecil county
tracks feels confident Of its ability t
have the next Legislature pass q Law
permitting racing and book-making il
this state. The Barksdale Racing AS
sociation has secured an option on 1O
acres Of land just north Of Claymont
where q track win be built if salts
factory law IS secured
