A BEAUTIFUL GIRL

Barely Escapes a Eiie-1ong Calamity.
1t happened in this way: The
young daughter of Mrs. f. S. Gibson,
Greelyville, South Carolina, was slow
ly but surely becoming hopeless in
valid. Her mother became anxious
and haggard in her frantic efforts to
save her daughter. None of her at
tempts to find a cure seemed of any
avail. As stated in her own words:
my daughter was taken sick some
time ago and | tried many medicines
in vain. She was very weak, appe-
tite poor, bowels costive, and night
sweats. She appeared to be cold all
the time being taken with violent
chills ~ times. Her nerves were in
ver~ 44 condition. At last | hap
n a to see one Of your little books
and Iwrote you. You recommended
Pe-ru-ns. / gave il to her and she
has completely recovered. / owe all
that am worth in this world to you
for saving my daughters life. shall
always Keep a supply of your medi-
eines on hand. May you 1--we long to
help those suffering as my daughter
was.'
Pe-ru-na always cures such cases.

cease Attackinr tha raai

The Jacksonville Metropolis of the
18th contains the following sound and
humane advice to those who so persis-
tently abuse and speak harshly of the
late r. b. Mcconnell of tins city,
which we approvingly reproduce in
our columns:
Why not let X. B. Meconnells faults rest in
the grave with him. Nothing now said eau af-
fec, hin, but il can those who were near and
dear to him aud innocent Of any OF che charges
made. Several papers The past week referred to
the dead banker in rather harsh terms. There
IS no doubt after Mcconneli's bank failed that
he suffered more mentally than any else,
either directly or indirectly connected with the
bank. This is evident from the fact that he was
unable 10 hear the strain any longer and termi-
mated his existence.
II is unkiud and uncharitable to psrsue him
after death. 1t does no good whatever, but in
stead adds to the already heavy load Of grief
borne by these who loved HIM, but in 10 way
responsible for his acts.
II any one is pursued now let il be those that
| assisted in Mcconnelrs downfall. They are
still in the flesh and can conduct their own de
fense, but cease critieising and upbraiding The
dead.
Mcconnell once occupied prominent station
in lite, and was loved by his acquaintance for
his upright business methods, but when he fell
many turned away from him, and some now
| speak roughly Of him. No man knows the day
nor the hour that fortune may forsake him and
he be borne down to degradation and death. So
beware how you speak Of others who have
| sought relief in death.

The sad news reached OcaIa Satur-
day that Colonel J. NJ. Mayo had been
killed i'm Florence, 5. G., where he had
gone only "a few days previous on inn
portant railroad business. He was
crossinga a railroad track, and having
his umbrella raised did not see the ap-
preaching engine and no doubt being
emersed in deep thought did not hear
its coming, which Knocked him oil
the track, badly bruising him, from
the effects of which he died in a few
hours.
Colonel Mayo had been resident OF
OcaIa about twelve years, coming here
from Whitaker, \. c., since which
time he has been prominent in rail-
road circles, being the promoter OF the
Tallahassee and Southwestern, an ex-
tension OF which charter he had just
succeeded ia having extended by the
legislature. He wasa gallant Confeder-
ate soldier, and during the war was
colonel of North Carolina regiment.
He was inferred at his former home,
Whitaker. in the old family burial
grounds. His two sons, Ben aud Ma

The grant is for 500 years.
The library of the University of
California has received a gift from
Coils P. Huntington of more than 1000
documents in Spanish and English,

other collection except the Bancroft IL
brary.

THE ANNEXATION TREATY.
Haste to Secure Ratification Does Not I'm
ply an Extra Session of Congress

Haste to Secure Ratification Does Not I'm.
ply a Extra Session of Congress.
WAsHSGTON, Sept. There is nc
disposition among officials here tc
question the correctness of the state
men in the dispatches from Hawaii tC
the effect that Minister Hatch hurried
70 Honolulu with the special purpose
of securing annexation action by the
Hawaiian government in advance OF
the meeting of u congress.
There is no rule in diplomatic prac-
tice that would forbid Hawaii first act.
ing upon the treaty, and the treaty it.
self does not indicate which govern,
ment is to take the initiative in the
ratification. While it is regarded as
desirable in the execution of the policy
of President Mckinley toward Hawaii
as laid down in his message transmit
ing the treaty to congress. last June,
that the document should be ready in
all respects for the action of the United
States senate at its next session, it is
not believed that the president has
any intention of calling a special SEES
sion for TIE purpose of ratification.
Indeed, considering the fact that il
the Hawaiian Legislature acts with the
greatest promptness upon the treaty,
it can scarcely complete its action
and return the ratified convention to
Washington before October at the
earliest, it would appear TO be unnec-
essary to advance the session OF con.
gress by such a short space of time as
would intervene between that date
and the date upon which congress
meets in regular session,
