The case of Mrs. James Kell, of or
Ninth Street, ). E., Washington. d. c.,
should convince everyone that it is
useless to expect doctors to cure Rheu-
matism. Under recent date she writes {:
"a few months ago had an attack of
Sciatic Rheumatism in its worst form.
The pain was so intense that my ner-
vous system was Frustrated, and l was
for long time perfectly helpless. The
attack was an unusually severe one,
and my condition was regarded as
being very dangerous.
''I was attended by one of the most
able doctors of Washington City, who is
also a member of the faculty of the
leading college here. He told me to
continue his prescription and 1 would
get we'll. After having it rehlled twelve
times and receiving not the least bene-
fit, declined to take it longer.
"Having heard S.S.S. (Swift's Spe-
cifc) recommended for Rheumatism,

it a trial. After taking a few bot
ties l was able to hobble. around on
crutches, and very soon had no need
at all for them, for S.S.S. cured me
sound and we'll. All the distressing
pains have left me, my appetite has
returned, and / am happy to be again
restored to perfect health.''
S.S.S. never disppoints, for it is made
to cure these deep-rooted diseases which

THE TROLLEY EUZZ.

And Something About the Trolley
Cars nS n Cure for Headache.
Ever hear of the trolley buzz?" said
a Brooklyn resident whose business is
in New York. "They say that some
people who travel regularly on the troll
ley cars get the trolley buzz. You know
the sound of the trolley, the bz-z-z-z
that begins low and rises gradually as
the car increases in speed, keeping Il
uniform tone when the car is running
ut uniform speed, and then declining
again as the car runs slower and stop
ping when the car stops? They say
there are people who travel regularly on
trolleys who hear this sound all the
time wherever they are, except when
they are asleep. Tb ~ call this having

trolley cars sometimes do me a great
deal of good. They cure me of head
ache. L work here all day, keeping

over one of the aXles. They say that no
electricity gets into the car, but i'm
agine there must be more or less of it in

there that cures my headache. 1 sit

NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. SAFES

Lining So Arranged That the Slight
est Break VIII Raise Alarm.
The latest idea for the protection of
money and valunbles il to have the safe
which contains them secured inside
cabinet, says the st. Louis Globe-Dem-
ocrat. Where n safe is kept in vault,
the vault serves the purposes of cabi-
net. In either case an electric lining
is used, consisting of strips of metal
mounted in connection with thin metal
sheets, so arranged that even a pin
thrust through the cabinet and pene-
trating the lining will sound the alarm.
The door of the vault cannot be opened,
nor can the curtain of the cabinet be
raised, until a time-lock has disconnect-
ed it from the alarm syGtem. In order
that the alarm box may be proof against
molestation it is made of steel and
placed within hood lined in the same
way as the cabinet. Any attempt at
tampering with it will cause an alarm
to be sounded as in the case of the cab
met. The door is held closed by heavy
lag bolts, the partial removal of any of
which will give warning signal. There
are several of these lag bolts, and be-
fore the door can be opened they have
all to be removed, which requires a
considerable length of time.

ON FREE-SILVER PLANK
ONLY WAY IN WHICH MAYOR TAG
CART CAN BE RENOMINATED.
Smith Myers, One of the C~Onservativ
of the "Push,' Lays
Down the UItimatum.

If Mr.. Taggart wants a denomination for
mayor he will have to swallow a platform
declaring fatty for free silver. That Is
given out fiat by the leaders of the push
and they are the people when it comes
to Democratic primaries, a fact that they
demonstrated two or three times last fall.
The significance of this announcement
lies not so much in the fact that a silver
platform may not be personally agreeable
to Mr.. Taggart, for he has shown that he
can gulp one of those things down, without
cracking a smile, even with T.. e. Johnson
70 ram it down his throat; but it is inter-
esting in the light of the fact that there
were not less than 1,50O Democrats who
marched in the Palmer professions last year.
They, or most of them, could vote for Tag
CART, but can they stand a free-silver plat
form, or could they help to win an election
that would be heralded over the country as
a silver victory? j. l.. Reach, who had
more influence in the city than any other
of the gold Democrats, has announced that
he would probably vote for Taggart, if
nominated, and it is known that Sterling r.
Holt felt the same way. This meant hat
while a few of the gold men could not fol-
low Taggarts banner, the great majority
of them would go along with Reach and
Holt. But with silver made the paramount
issue in the platform, there will be a differ

is to it,"

Then he will not be mayor. That is all

ENGLISH HOTEL LEASE.
Managers Talking Buslness-Rumor as
to ReibOId.

Since the news has gone abroad that
William Il. English intends building a fine
new hotel on Monument place several we'll
known landlords have evinced marked in
terest in the enterprise. 1t was reported
a day or two ago that Louis Reibold, late
of the Bates, had expressed a desire to take
the new house and had opened negotiations
with Mr.. English looking to this end. Mr..
English says the rumor is not quite cor
rect, although a humble OF Mr.. Reibold's
friends have suggested that such an ar
rangement might be made. However, Mr..
English and Mr.. Reibold have never dis
eEssed the matter.
Saturday Mr.. Albert G.. Core, proprietor
of the Grand Hotel, of Cincinnati, was in
the city, and While here spent several hours
with Mr.. English, looking over the plans
Core came here TO talk business with Mr..
English, although no definite conclusion
was cache Landlord Bauer, of Terre
Haute, has also seen the plans. and it is
said the proprietor of the famous Terre
Haute House would not be ayerse to taking
the management of the English after it has
been completely remodeled. While both the
Terre Haute and Cincinnati landlords We're
greatly pleased with the plans as submit
ted by Mr.. EngliSh'S architect, they felt
that the structure should be a five-story
building, instead Of four, as it is at pres
ent. When Mr.. English had the present
plans drawn up he had in mind the orig
inal scheme of his father, the late w. H.
English, whose idea was to erect q four
story building. This was carried out in the
erection of the present hotel building, and
the san, in planning the new house, desired

father as possible. However, he will con-
slider the suggestions of Messrs. Bauer and
Corre, and it may be that an additional
floor Will be added.
