Gossip

Are you gossiper: Come,
now, don't be hasty, and in self
righteous Indignation, exclaim
: You insult me, sir. / am free
from such a thing" / have seen
many who were ready as you are,
promptly and Indignantly, to
deny being gossippers, and yet,
all knew them to be among the
foremost of these kinsmen and
helpers of Satan. Be honest
with yourself! Are you given to
the loathsome habit of gossip?
There is q remedy for gossip.
It is pleasant to take, and in it's
reflex influence, it is most delight
full. Here it is. Stimulate your
mind with tonic of unselfiSh IN
terest in the welfare of others.
Think and speak kindly of people,
/ lived five years in intimate as
ISOLATION with q sweet Christian
woman, who never uttered one
unkind word about anybody.
Read good books. Fill your mind
with pure thoughts, enrolling
and uplifting. Lend your good
books to others and then talk to
them about the books and what
they teach. Warm your heart
at the throne of grace. Then
you will see in every person
around you one to be helped,
cheered, uplifted, saved. How
noble your life may be made!
There ought to go forth from your
daily conversation an aroma of
sweetness and purity that, react
ing on your own heart and life,

SUFFERERS ENCOURAGED.
Hundreds Now Testing the
Remedy in This City
and Vicinity.
SALES INCREASING.

1t Will be remembered that a
few days since a free distribution
of samples of Dr. Hobbs Spara-
gus Pills was made at the Anti
Monopoly drug store. Everyone
that asked was given q box, free
of charge, and none went away
empty handed. This remarka-
bic distribution was made as a
challenge to those afflicted by
diseases, of the kidneys, bladder
and blood, backache and rheuma-
tism, to test the healing power of
these wonderful pills.
The test has proven. of great
interest to druggists and the
public at large, because of the
magnitude of the offer as well as
The evident confidence the pro-
prietors have in the merits of

results, would have justified DR..

Augustine j. Chapman

The subject of this sketch was
born in Hancock county, Ga,
and was the youngest son of John
and Elizabeth Chapman.
In early life he was converted
and joined a Baptist church in
North Georgia. A few years

the Baptist church at Brooksville,
of which he remained a consist

The war came on just as Mr..
Cha pman became of age, and he
served through the entire four
years. He was twice wounded,
once by q piece of shell on the
back of lis head. 1t is probable
this wound ultimately had much
to do with his death. He died at
Brooksviile, May IL, 1897.
The deceased was married Aug.
2, 1882, near Lake City. Fla, to
Miss Mary E. Hart, eldest
daughter of DR.. N. Hart. His
married life was one of much hap
piness, checkered only by two
deep sorrows, the death of his
two little boys. He has now

The Struggle Is Apparently
Confined 10 Four
States.
HANNHS MEN HAVE FINALLY
GONE CUT.
West Virginia Operators Advertise
for Men In Anticipation of
Harvest.

COLUMBUS, OHIO, July 7-Unless the
striking coal-miners of the various States
who went out in obedience 10 the orders
of The executive board of the United Mine
Workers of America are soon reinforced
by their co-a5orers in the Eastern dis
tricts the strike viii be failure.
Pres dent Ratchford himself admits that
they cannot hope for success unless the
strike becomes general. He refuses TO
give any figures as TO the mum Der of men
who are still at work, but says that the
outlook now is more hopeful and encour-
aging as the d fferent districts are heard
from.
There are said to be $4,000 miners in the
bituminous fields of Pennsylvania, and
yet, according to assertions made at the
headquarters of the National Mine work
ers' officials, the mum ber of men in the
STATE who have laid down their tools and
Joined the strike will not exceed -, 600,
the remaining 5000 being still at work.
AdYices from West Virginia say that
the miners there will not participate in
the strike. On the contrary. operators at
Fairmont have advertised for more miners
in anticipation of the harvest they expect
10 reap if the contest is a long one.
Nyron T. Herrick and Robert Dickens
dor.er. receivers of the Wheeling and Lake
Erie Railroad Company, and Wheeling,
Lake Erie and PItlsburg Coal Company,
have applied 10 the United States Court
for protection, not that any trouble has
vet occurred, butin anticipation Of trouble.
These companies own and operaie mines
in Jefferson County, employing a bout loco
men.
The petition says that they have had no
controversy with the miners, who de-
sire 10 remain at work and who suspended
work because they were afraid OF being
moested. The court has dispatched
United States Marshals TO the scene.
All coal-carrying roads are reducing
their expenses by laying off their men in
the shops or curtailing the number of
extra trains.
As matters appear at this time the strike
is practically limited TO four States
Ohio, Indiana, Illinois and part OF Penn
sylvania. 1t is said that the number OF
men who have gone out has been over
estimated, and that the iota! number will
not exceed 75 000 as follows: Ono,
% 600; Western Pennsylvania, 10000:
illinois, 25,0U0; Indiana, 700
The miners OF Ala abama Tennessee and
Kentucky were on strike before this Ma
tlonal suspension vas ordered. The MN
ers of Iowa, Missouri, Kansas, Arkansas,
Wyoming and the Indian Territory are
still at work.

Two Feet Into EnCirCling Dusk
the Limit of Her DIM
ming Eyes.
OFFICIAL ANNOUNCEMENT BY A
MEDICAL JOURNAL.
Statement Purposely Hides More
Than II Pub, ,ishes Of Her Ma
lesty's Infirmlty.

LONDON, Eng. July The Lancet. a
welLknown medical journal, will this
week make the semi-official announce
ment in England in regard to the Queens
eyesight. 1t will be mild statement de-
sisnel apparently 10 conceal more than it
will reveal OF the serious nature OF her in
trinity.
The first news concerning The Queens
sight cabled to THE CALL a fortnight ago
was based on statements made by two
eminent physicians who had been con-
suited in her Maiestv's case. One de.
scribed her condition, as then stated. as
"almost totally blind" The second con-
firmed :his statement and ascribed the
cause to gouty condition of the blood.
He said he could offer no hope of cure
or escap pc from further progress OF the
aff1 ction. Further inform alton received
within the last few days from several per-
sons who have been personally associated
with the Queen at Balmoral has been OF
the same general tenor. One described
the condition OF the Queens eyesight as
follows:
"Her Majesty is now unable to recog-
niZe objects more than two feet from her
eyes. Even at that distance her sight is
lanentably feeble. She is no longer able
to read and with great difficulty signs &C.
casional documents"
This is probably a correct descriptio OF
the extent to which her disability has
already reached. The accounts cabled
back from London at the time of THE
CALLS original announcement wrongly
quotet The CALLS first dispatch, saying
lhe Queen was abso. utely blind. This
misquotation enabled certain officers of
the Queens household 10 make denial
when applied to. 1t is this same exagger-
aied quotation which the Lancet refers to
in the following statement:
We are glad TO be able to state on ex-
cellent authority that certain rumors 10
which publicity was given last week in
reference TO her Majesty's eyesight were
grossly exaggerated. The fact is that for
some wars her Majesty's eyesight has
been affected owing % changes incidental

becoming wore. The deterioration OF
her vision causes the Qresn some Incon-
venience. but not TO me extent OF inter-
fering with her ordinary course OF life or
preventing her from discharslng her mut-
tifarions aud onerous duties"
Il is 4 fact nevertheless that what the
Ltncet describes as deterioration of
vision which causes the Queen some incon.
venience' is characterized by the princi-
pal physician in the case in the emphatic
worls first given in THE CALL, namely.
that her Majesty is almost totally blind.

ANDREW j. DAVIS ESTATE.
Le1ni Battle ThGt Has Been Woged IN
the (our.s for Eight Years Ke1s-
jno Settlement.

NEW YORK. N. Y, July THE con-
test for the estate of the la:e Andrew J.
Davis is IN process of settlement. after
having been in the courts nearly eight
years. The estate seven years ago was
said to be worth sl4,GOOOO but it has
dwindIed in value.
A conservative estimate of its value
now Is said to be $4,000,0O0. Logan,
Demond and Harley represent Mrs. Eliz-
abeih Bowdoine and Mrs. Harrie te
Wood OF Springfield, Mass. sisters OF de-
ceased, and Mrs. Ellen p Davis of Celi-
fornia Stern and Rukhmore represent a
nephew and niece.
Mr.. Logan said to-day: "Mr. Harley
went SIX weeks ago to Montana to try the
case. but the trial was postponed pending
negotiations for a settlement. Our clients
Will each get share of the estate. We
understand that a settlement has been
agreed upon, but certain signatures are
yet uece ssary. We maze the contest be-
cause others wanted to leave our Gle nts."
When Davis died, owning nearly the
whole of Butte, each of score of W omen n
claimed to be his widow. Mrs. j. A. Dav 8
OF Kewaunee. Wis.,, said he married her
in 1850, but deserted her two weeks later.
Inc contes. at last narrowed down TO
John A. Davis, a brother, of Chicago;
Erwin Davis, brother. of this city, ANA
Henry A. Root, nephew. of Helena,
Montana. The sisters, with their brother,
CALVIN Davis of Sonora, California, aso
made claims.
John A Davis said he had discovered a
will executed on July 90 1866, wing him
nearly the whole of the property and its
genuineness was at once attacked. Ex-
perts in handwriting declared the will a
forgery and the contest went on. Judge
Mediation Of Butte in June, 1896, decd ed
that all the new contestants-including ing
Hulda III. Queen. Davis alleged widow
and her two daughters in California,
Elizabeth Morrow ana Laura Calhoun
had standing in court Henry A. Davis,
nephew and one of the contestants,
agreed tha year before TO compromise on
one-fifth for each. A settlement was MADE
before this with Mrs. Smythe OF San Fran
cisco and others 1t is believed this is the
basis OF the present agreement.

Japan ON 4 GOLD BASIS.
Senator Pettigfew Submits a St1fement
on the SuG,ct TO the
Senate

WASHINGTON, D. c.. July 7.-Senator
Pettigrew to-day presented in the Senate
q statement prepared by himself giving
Japan's reasons for adopting the gold
standard, together with translations OF
the new currency law of that country. the
speech of Minister of Finance Matsukata
in presenting this measure and the report
of the japanese Currency Commission.
Mr. Pettigrew says that from careful
reading of he speech OF Count Matsukata
he is convinced that the gold standard
has been adopted entirely in the interests
of the creditor classes OF Japan and for
the purpose Of preventing further de-
cline in the purchasing power of their
credits. The Senator advances the idea
tnat the manufacturing classes have been
induced to accept the change by the argu-
ment that it would crystalline advantages
Japan has already over gold-uslng coun-
tries as result of apprec alton of gold in
lhe past and thus perpeiuate and make
certain her advantage in the future.
Senator Pettigrew SAYS that since the
Chinese war prices have risen about 30
per cent and the creditor classes have be-
come alarmed because of the general
adoption OF the golc standard. The
power and influence of the creditor classes
in Japan have been greatly enhanced by
the debt incurred as q result of The war,
the situation thus presenting many feat
ures similar to those which induced Ger
many in 1873, ENGLAND in 1916 and the
United States in 1873 to adopt the gold
standard.
"1n every instance" the Senator says,
"the producers of wheat are not consid-
cred. 1t is true the Minister of Finance
in Japan argued that the rise in price
would cut off exports from Japan, and,
therefore, the manufacturing classes were
interested, but he makes no argument
which appeals TO the farming classes, not
withstanding that farming is the para
mount industry of Japan"
Senator Pettigrew concluded that the
result of this recent step on the part OF
Japan must be The same there as else
where. causing further appreciation of
gold and corresponding apparent de-
cline in the values of silver, a. well as
decline in the gold price OF all prod ucts,
which will check Japan's wonderful in
dustrial prosperity and transfer her indus
tries to China. if China remains upon 4
silver basis. "Already," he continues,
"gold has risen in value sufficient 10 make
