Four Generations at a Wedding.

The following item, taken from the
Springfield Republican, will interest the
people of Hinsdale, as Miss Tubbs was a
popular school teacher in town for a few
years:
"Miss Agnes l. Tubbs, youngest daugh-
ter of the late Charles Tubbs, and Fred
Payne of the Elektron Manufacturing com
pany's Boston Office were married yester-
day at the home of the BRIDES mother in
Mtteneague. On account of the recent
death of Mr.. Tubbs, the wedding was very
quiet, only relatives and the most intimate
friends of the young people being present.
The ceremony was performed by Rev. A.
NJ. Spanger. The bride wore a gown of
white chiffon with ribbon trimmings.
Misses Eva and May Meaehem acted as
ushers. An interesting feature of the we'd
ding was the presence of four generations
of the brides family. A nephew, Clar-
ence Tubbs, seven months old, was the
youngest relative present, while V. G..
Cook, 81 years old, the brides grandfather,
was at the other extreme. Mr.. Cook
signed the marriage certificate as witness
to the ceremony The couple left at 1880
last evening for Boston, where they will
live at 20 Beacon street. Among out-of-
town guests WERE Miss Eta McKeen and
Miss Minnie Snow of Hinsdale, n. H.,
and Miss Eta Graves of Palmer"

In German medical paper is an in
teresting paper by DIR. Fricker OF Odes-
sa describing an extraordinary case In
which several foreign bodies were re-
moved from the stomach OF woman
aged 80 years who several times at
tempted suicide by swallowing petro-
leum and carbollc acid, and then solid
substances such as needles, nails, and
small buttons. At first the patient
made no complaint after performing
these exploits, but subsequently expe-
rienced much pain. Various forms OF
treatment had been tried for the gen.
eral conditions, such as baths, electric
ity, ETC., but without avail. A tender
swelling appeared in the left side OF the
abdomen, and an operation was decld-
ed upon. An abscess was found in the
region of the swelling, and the stomach
had evidantly been perforated, but the
site of the perforation could not be dis
covered. With all due precautions the
stomach was opened and the following
bodies removed: A key, a silver tea
spoon, metal teaspoon, fork, two
wire tacks, two hairpins, two pieces OF
glass, one window hook, one steel pin,
nine sewing needles, one piece of black
lead, one shoe button, one grape stone,
two small Jumps OF tin, and one GRO
Chef hook. The stomach was washed
out with sterilized salt solution and the
wound closed. The patient made a
good recovery.

a Man From Becoming a Cripple.

Mr.. Asa Anmons, well known
citizen of Jacksonville, Florida, was
afflicted by a terrible ulcer Medical
skill seemed unavailing in stopping the
ravages of the terrible disease. The
leg was swollen and intensely painful,
as the ulcer had eaten it's way down
to the very bone. All medicines and
treatments having failed to effect a
cure, the doctors said the leg must
come off. just when it seemed that
Mr.. Ammons would become disabled
and crippled man, he tried P. 2. P,
Lipp.nan's Great Remedy, and the re-
suit was wonderful.

down to the bone, and my whole leg
below my knee, and my foot was

swollen and painful, and discharged a
most offensive matter. My physicians
said 1 had necrosis of the bone, and
my leg would have to come off. At
this stage l commenced to take P. P. P.
and to battle my leg with hot CASTLE
soap suds. 1t began to improve at
once and healed rapidly and is to-day

atlanta, Ca, Dispatch.
In the "black belts" of Georgia and
Alabama combination of unscrupu-
lous persons has spread the rumor that
in the session of Congress pensions will
be voted to all old slaves. This, the
negroes are told, is to be done by ad-
vice of President Mckinley.
As preliminary the negroes are
called on to register their names, Civ
ing the addresses of former owners, &c.
For this service fee of rs cents has to
be paid, and it is here that the manipu-
lators are getting their profits.
The principal seat of this method Of
raising a revenue is in Southwest Geo
rgia and southeast Alabama, where
there is little outside communication.
The agents are doing a good business.
The negroes are happy and are flocking
In large numbers to register their
names.
