LOOKING ARE1

LOOKING AHEAD. Golden Medical
Discovery. 1t doesn't work miracles ;
but it does what other medicine can't do
and what doctors say can't be done-un-
til they see it done right under their noses
it cures consumption.-Nota always; to
say that would be an exaggeration, but
in a large majority of cases in advanced
cases which have been given up as hope
less.
The Discovery is not called con-
sumption-cure it is a blood-maker. 1t
gives energy to the blood-making organs
to create new blood, full of healthy red
corpuscles. This rapid supply of pure,
rich, red blood drives out all diseases that
have their roots in the blood: Consump-
ton is one of these; scrofula, malaria,
eczema, erysipelas, catarrh-are others.
1t is absurd to doctor them separately as
lung, or skin, or head diseases. They
must be driven out of the blood. You
can rely on the Golden Medical Dis
coYery" to do this every time.
It is not a patent medicine. 1t is the
perfected result of 80 years, practical ex-
perience by one of the most skillful ply
sicians and eminent medical authorities
in this country:-Dr. r. V. Pierce, Chief
Consulting Physician to the Invalids' Ho-
tel and Surgical Institute, Buffalo, N. Y.
Dr. Pierce's 1908 page book, 1.-THE Peoples
Common Sense Medical Adviser" reached the
enormous sale of $4,000 copies at SI.So each.
This enormous sale having paid him fair profit
on the great amount OF labor'and money ex-
pended in producing it, he is now gfViNg away

From Our Special Correspondence.
Dallas, Tex, Jan. S.-Farmer Shaw,
whose lovely residence and household
effects were recently burned, has
many sympathizers in his loss. The
house and furniture were partly GOV,

many things treasures-that money
cannot replace, that persisted in the
flames.
All the doorstep waits are sent to
the "Woman's Home" The good ma
iron does not object to caring for
such for yew days once in a great
while, but sometimes it is right hard
to find a permanent home for these
little cast-off innocent. but most I'M
fortunate babes. The latest acQuiSi-
ton to the home was n babe that had
been left on Collin street doorstep.
1t has been given out. but owing to
its read head, was returned.
No tribute more beautiful and at
the same time true, can ever be paid
woman than was that paid the late
Mrs. DR.. A. A. Johnson. at the Cen
trail Christian church. by her pastor,
DR.. NJ. NJ. Davis. Her regular Sun
day life was first household and home
duties, then came the communion
bread and wine, which was her special
work to have ready; after Sunday
school and regular church service she
with several others repairs TO the
Sunday school rooms, where a class
of Chinese were instructed; after din
ner she went to n distant negro
church, where she labored and taught
n class of colored women. DR.. and
Mrs. Johnson have lived in Dallas 81
years. She was loved by all who
knew her.

Competition in Lighting.

To the Editor of The Times
The article signed "A CommOner" in
your issue Of today in regard to corpora
tions is full Of errors and inconsistencies.
In the first place, our Gas Company fur
nishes as sj,od a light as anyin the country
and as cheap; besides, the company is
under the control of Congress, which fixes
the price of the light, etc, and another
company would not help the case any,
because experience has shown that they
would soon combine, and-there you
are.
With regard to the Electric Lighting
Company, / am a stoekholder, and have
been for twelve or more years, and
know that the action Of the Commissioners
in allowing another company to come
east of Rock Creek to compete for this
business, which is only territory enough for
one company, has had the effect OF in
juring my property. and / believe 1t
was done in violation of the intention OF
the law.
The talk of 'Commoner" about monopoly
and denying nearly three hundred thou
sand" people honest competition. ETC., is
rot. for the same reason given about the
Gas Company.
Senator Faulkner has only done his
duty toward protecting investors, and

Defending Alexandria County.

Del Ray, Va, FEB. 3, 1891
To The Editor of The Times:
A gentleman who calls himself County
Democrat" is attempting to tell the
people of Alexandria their business. He
saws Alexandria needs 'purging." Per
haps it does; but fail to see that 1t con-
Germs the county or the District. he says
the county needs ''purgiug," and he wants
the assistance OF Alexandria city to do it.
If am not mistaken a year or so ago
movement was started, which was the
birth of that organization called The
Citizens Law and order League" At the
time of its conception it had as members
the best people of the county. The league
caused to be nominated at the primaries
men who they thought would do their
duty and apprehend all violators OF the
law. They had their triumph in part,
namely, the sheriff. The commonwealth
attorney, who was elected, was not to
their liking. Now the funny spectacle is
furnished by the fact that the very officer
who they wanted to displace and suCcee ded
at the last county election is one of the
members OF the league. Can County
Democrat explain how he came to be
whitewa shed after all the sins he had CON-
mitted?
Now, am satisfied that this county is
as law abiding as any community. Now
the Citizens League has cast discredt
on ali of the people of the county and to
Judge by the newspaper reports, except
The Times, the county is overrun with
everything that is bad. Fiat Justitia.

she read last night, there being tender
memory connected with its writing that
makes it especially dear TO herself and
her mother. When Mr.. Field was ordered
to Europe for his health he found that he
could not part from his family, and SO
he took them all along. onreacmng Ger
many he arranged to put the little ones
at school, but when the eve for parting
came, both he and Mrs. Field decided that
they had not the courage TO say good
bye. but would leave in the early morning
before the children were wake. He wTete
the verses that night while they were
asleep around him, tucked in their little
cots. and Mrs. Field treasures the Incl
dent with pathetic tenderness, because the
date fthe composition OF the poem was the
same as the date of his death
In answer to a question as to when she
first became ambitious of reading in pub

EUGENE FIELDS DAUGHTER
She Found the Public and Critics
Her Friends.
He Never Trained Her for Public
Readings, But She Decided Upon
Them After His Death.

Mary French Field, the eldest daughter
OF the late Eugene Field, who made her
debut last night before a Washington au-
dience, is personally the most attractive,
as she promises to be one OF the best,
readers on the Lyceum stage. When she
made her first appearance last October,
size found every critic a friend. The world
had loved Eugene Field, and it welcomed
his daughter when she stepped before the
footlights OF life to take the part left
vacant by his exit.
From that night TO this she has read her
fathers poems in many cities, and the
critics continue her friends She is so
Young that there is still the open, fearless
look of childhood on her face, and she
talks with the straightforwardness Of
boy. She comes naturally by this char
acteristic, as she was eighteen years old
when her baby sister was born, and her
childhood has been spent with her three
brothers.
"At first 1 played with doIls,' she ex-
planned, with humorous smile of remin-
iscence on her pretty face, ':but the boys
scalped them, so there was nothing for me
todo but take TO playing marbles and climb
ing trees. That is why. In my readings,

If youI skirt is too shabby for wear, don't

about the mother of five girls, who are al
ways well dressed. They all " ork' and are
personally very careless, I'm afraid, but
their mother looks so well to their gown
ing that many are surprised when told OF
its cost.
Size never throws away a skirt. After it
