AS DARK AS NIGHT.-All Chicago
became panic stricken about 4:15
o'clock yesterday afternoon when q
dense cloud of smoke and fog passed
over the city and enveloped it in al
most complete darkness. From the
upper windows in many of the large
buildings in the down town district
pedestrians and vehicles on the street
could not be seen, and cable cars were
brought to standstill to avoid coils.
ions in the sudden darkness The en-
tire sky was blackened in an instant as
the clouds swept over the city. Pas
sengers on elevated trains vacated the
cars and sought places of greater safety
in case of storm.
AT pine O'Clock last night there
was severe hailstorm, which lasted
but few minutes. a heavy rain pre-
vailed much of the time until early
morning.

Railroad Company to run its trains
into Strasburg in compliance with the
provisions of its charter. AS the great
er part of the stock of the Winchester

come up regarding the right of State

A SAD CAsE.-A sad accident occur
red in the neighborhood of Washing
ton, in Rappahannock county, last
week. Bessie, the two year old daugh-
ter of Mrs. Lizzie Williamson, died sud-
denly of pneumonia. Another younger
sister was i'll with the same disease; the
mother seemed almost crazed with
grief, as she had lost daughter of six,
teen only q few months ago. Kind
friends were with her to sympathize
and do everything to comfort the widow
ed mother, but words did not seem to
avail. About two hours after the
daughters death, with the other little
sick one in her lap, she dropped from
the chair to the floor dead. She leaves
three little girls and one boy entirely
dependent on their grandfather and
grandmother, an aged couple, who have
each seen the SHOWS of many winters.

no you recollect what
~ [ told you a few
weeks ago about Evap-
grated Apples :? |
have reduced the price
again, this time to 7c.
You would never get
them at that price if [
had not too many,
some 500 pounds, and
want to sell them
promptly. What [ have
are very fancy, and
they are much cheaper
than green apples at
rs cents a peck. Yes,
[ know you can buy
some green apples at
20 cents, but thew are
poor stuff. You have
to cut away at least a
third before they are
fit to use. A pound OF
evaporated apples is
equal to a half peck
of green apples AID
no trouble to cut up.
Make your own calcu-
lation as to which is
cheaper.

The political fight in New York city
seems just now to be centering in sim
gle combat between Thomas G. Platt,
leader of the New York Republicans, and
Jacob Worth, head of the Brooklyn Re
publicans. The making of the Greater
New York has put. the two leaders in the
same bailiwick. Worth is for Seth Low
for Mayor. Platt is for straight Re-
publican nomination. In preliminary
skirmish Platt has worsted Worth in the
latter's stamping ground, although
Worth's friends claim that their m an got
in left-handed blow at the finish which
evened matters up. The coming week,
however, there will be a real struggle for
the mastery at the primaries to be held
on the 21st instant to elect majority of
the delegates to the Kings County con-
vention on the 23d, and to the Assembly
District convention of the 25th, which
will elect delegates and alternates to the
City convention Of Greater New York,
where the candidate for Mayor will be
named. If the Platt men in Brooklyn
control these two conventions, Worth
will probably be eliminated as q leader !.
If he holds his own it will be personal
triumph; but may make no great change
in the fortunes OF Mr.. Low.

When the appetite fails there is no use in
trying to tempt the palate with delicate food.
No matter how good and well-cooked and
"appetizing" the food may be, it cannot
give any nourishment unless the stomach is
able to digest it. Nature indicates the state
Of the constitution by the loss of appetite.
This is an unfailing indicator. It shows
that something is fundamentally wrong
with the nutritive functions.
The only true natural relief must be as
searching and fundamental as the trouble it
aims to overcome. It is the thorough Deep
searching character of Or. Pierce's Golden
Medical Discovery, which causes the mar
velous efficacy in all bilious and digestive
difficulties. 1t creates that healthfu1 vitality
of the entire digestive and nutritive organ
ism which produces both the natural desire
for food and the organic capacity to assimi-
late and transform it into nourishing, reviv-
flying blood and healthy tissue. 1t gives
appetite, digestion and sound sleep, and
builds up solid muscular strength and
vital nerve energy.

The annual report of the Auditor for

total amount expended by the govern.
ment for pensions during the year ended
July 30 last was $14l, l,2OO,5 ,55l which is an
increase of $1,747,761 over the previous
year. Since 1865 the payments for pen.
sions have aggregated 50, ,14s, 156, ,095. This
is an enormous sum of money, but II

Gar Nicholas not long ago issued a
ukase granting certain degree of re.
ligious liberty, but in this, as might be
expected, he finds the established church
an opponent. A congress of high Rus
sian ecclesiastics is considering measures
to "stop the spread of sectarianism - and
even goes SO far as to suggest that the
children of the unorthodox be taken
away from their parents and educated In
the only trne faith. One Bishop went SO
far as to propose that the property of dis
senters be ruthlessly confscated. What
crimes have been, and still continue to
be, committed in the name-not the
spirit-of true religion!
