General Walker, commander of
the q. a. r., has refused to let the
ex-Confederates participate in the
parade in New York City on July
9TH. 1t was the desire of all the
old soldiers to meet in joint parade
and it is their desire still, but the
venom, hate and bitter animosity
of such men as Walker, Mckinley,
Sherman and those who wish to
keep alive the "war issues" for the
sake of Office, has prevented that
which would have been a reunion
of hearts. In view of this treat
ment it will be interesting to watch
the conduct of those -Confeder-
ates who have been doing the dirty
work of the Republican party, in
season and out of season for many
years, looking to the rewards that
some petty Office would yield.

Princess May Be Governor.

An interesting rumor comes from
the Isle of Wight to the effect that
there is some talk in the island that
Princess Henry of Battenberg may
be appointed to the governorship,
says the st. James Gazette. In the
thirteenth century the island was
under the governorship of a lady
with the significant name Of Isabella
de Fortibus. She ruled for ten
years as a feudal chief, and none
dared despoil her of her Office, or
was so wanting in the chivalry of the
time as to attempt to do 90. Isa-
bella seems to have been a remark
ably smart woman of business, for
she coded her sovereignty to the
crown for 100000, which in 1898
meant great riches. Theid idea is that
Princess Beatrice should hold the
Office in trust for her eldest son,
Prince Alexander, until he comes Of
age. 1t is graceful proposal, and
by no means impracticable.

AMERICAN WOMEN.
Described by Mr.. Hall Caine-com-
parsons with English Women.


Mr.. Hall Game says of his stay in
the United States: ''Many of my inn
pressions OF America, by the way,
toppled down like a child's house Of
cards when | found myself actually
in the country and among the peo-
pie. A delightful nation to study is
America-fresh and frank and full of
originality. OF course, we all know
and have always known, for the last
century, at least, that Americans
are clever; but we can't realize until
we go among them and see them in
their homes how kindly. how young
of heart, they are as individuals.
1.-THE American women in general
he deems 1T is only natural they
should have become what they are
superior, intellectually, or, at any
rate, specifically so, to the men.
That is, of course, as a class. There
are always so many exceptions to
every rule. But the thing has come
about as o consequence of mans
putting woman - American man,
American woman-on a pedestal,
and worshiping her. He has stayed
below the pedestal and worked for
her, not having time, if he was the
ordinary man of business, to cult
vate his mind and manner while he
so worked. But she has had plenty
of time, and she has made the best
use of it. In our own country ! con-
slider that the reverse is the truth.
The average Englishman is superior
to the average English woman in in
telligence and education. That is
because he is likely to think of him
self, and of his sons, before he
thinks Of his wife and daughters.
And English women have conscien-
tiously upheld him in his attitude
toward them, until comparatively
lately, at any rate. In America, on
the contrary, ! fancy that women
have known their own value, and set
it rather high, for q number of years
"a couple OF generations, at least"
In personal appearance Mr.. Game
finds our women 'prettier, more at
tractive, more bewitching, than
English women, but not so regularly
beautiful. The straight, almost
Greek nose, and the ineffably lovely
and naughty upper lip Of the most
perfect type of English girl l have
not seen equaled in America, I must
saw"

Almost Married with a Collar Button.

A blushing bride, a nervous best
man" and a minister had thrilling
ly embarrassing experience at a we'd
ding in a North Broad street church
the other night, says the Philadel-
phia Record. The best man, who is
clerk in the Reading railroad
freight Office, was so overcome by
the excitement incident to the we'd
ding march up the aisle of the church
that he became partially dazed and
at a most critical moment made a
mistake which came very near de-
laying the ceremony.
The minister had just asked the
regulation question: "Doyou take, a"
etc., and the time had arrived for the
clergyman to place the ring on the
brides finger, when the best man
lost himself, and instead of pulling
the diamond ring from his pocket to
hand to the clergyman he pulled out
a collar button, which the clergyman
attempted to put on the brides
finger.
There were bushes, q momentary
spasm, and wild look of despair;
then the young best man recovered
long enough to find the ring and the
ceremony proceeded. His collar
button was return ed with thanks.

Eve Years-A Case of World
Wide Interest.
(from the Philadelphia 7Tnes)
Lewis d. Blundin was born in Al al
Bridgewater, Pa, and is now a resident OF
Huimeyille same state. He went through
the war as private, sergeant and hospital
steward of Company G.. 2Sth Pa. Volunteers.
As result of an attack of typhoid fever in
Ga, his kidneys became affected and this
finally developed into spinal disease, which
lasted through his army service. In '66 he
was mustered out and entered Jefferson
Medical College, Phila., as q student from
which he graduated two years later. The
remainder Of the story is best told in his
own words:
Gone day, after I had graduated was
lying on q sofa at my home in Manayunk,
when felt cold sensation in my lower
limbs as though the blood had suddenly left
them. When tried to move them l was

examination of my case, and announced
that my trouble was caused by infamma-

appetite was bad, digestive organs ruined
and no assimilation Of food. In addition TO
my many other ailments, rheumatism held
q prominent place. By the time i had
finished the first box Of Pink Pills l was
comparatively free from these minor ills.
First one all would disappear, then another
until the pills got to work upon the founda.
ton stones of my trouble-paralysis. Before
/ had taken the six boxes Of pills, was
sitting in my chair and one afternoon, when
felt curious sensation in my left foot.
Upon investigation found it had fexed, or
in other words, become movable, and /
could move it. From that time on my inn

before / was walking around on crutches
with little or no discomfort. 1t was three
