the old Tweed days. AS a politician
he at one time stood high in the conf

and deals. EIe fought and bled in the
war and retired with the rank of cap
tain. He was the friend and confident
of Mr.. A. T. Stewart, and as such
known to every drygoods man in the
city. Between the two, master and
man, there was bond, the secret of
which no one has ever been able to eX-
plain. But with the death of Mr.. Stew
art in 1881 came the decline. Keller
was discharged and put out on the
world He struggled for six or seven
years, failing in successive specula-
tions, until at last his savings were
gone and he was beggar. His chill
dren had grown up in poverty and were
unable or unwilling to help him. He
was employed by Mr.. H. B. Sire, where
he passed bogus order for $25. The
gates of Sing Sing opened and closed
upon him. At 60 years old he was a

A Portrait of the Great Assassin

A Portrait of the Great Assassin"
NJ. Victor Berard was a professor for
several years at public school in Con-
stantinople, and in the Revue de Paris
draws portrait of the Sultan, which
confirms others recently printed; Abdul
Hamid is gentle, shy, civil man, rath-
err cold at a first interview, but whose
manner becomes winning OH better ac
quaintance. His temper is even, his
address affable, his native Intelligence
above the average, but his culture Is
nil. The gross farces of the Turkish
stage and penny horrible" French lit
erature are his great delight. He has
ordered the whole of Xavier de Monte
pin to be translated for him. His piety,
perhaps stimulated, is narrow and
superstitious, and his private life seri
GUS and indeed austere. The most Sc
we're young Turks admit that for cen
turtles the Ottoman throne has not been
occupied by man so little sensual.
Ambassadors have all been charmed
by Abdul Hamid, and many have not
got over this pleasant impression. 1t
is due to the extreme politeness of this
autocrat, to his attention to their re-
marks, his apparent assent to every
one of their conclusions. The proofs
he gives of hard work, goodwill, and
scrupulousness appeal to even the most
liberal young Turks like Murad Bey.
A great effort or long habit is necessary
to mistrust or disbelieve a man who
seems so upright and who certainly is
unhappy. Everything in his attitude,
words, and even silence, his sudden
pinching of the lips, starts of the body,
wandering looks and the pallor of the
cheeks disguised by powder-every-
thing shows unreasoning, incurable
fear in the successor of the unfortun-
ate Aziz and Murad. 1t is the key to
his character. Fear has subdued in
him pride, passion, and vices. but it
has also killed generosity, straightfor-
wardness, honor, and all sentiment fur
Their than that of self-preservation.

THE KAvA-KAvA SHRUB ana proDapiy was
(Piper Asfhysticu'n1 used for centuries
by the natives before its extraordinary
properties became known to civilization
through Christian missionaries. In
this respect it resembles the discovery
of uuinine from the peruvian bark,
made known by the Indians to the early
Jesuit missionaries in South America,
and by them brought to civilized man.
It is a wonderful discovery, with rec
ord of 1900 hospital cures in 80 days: 1t
acts directly upon the blood and kid
news, and is true specific, just as quiz
nine is in malaria. We have the strong
est testimony of many ministers OF the
gospel, we'll known doctors and business
men cured by Alkayis, when all other
remedies had failed.
the testimony of Rev. w. b. Moore y; w. ..
Washington, D, c.. was given, describing nis
wears OF suffering from Kidney disease ana
Rheumatism and his rapid cure by Alkavls.
Rev. Thomas Smith, the Methodist minister az
Golden, Illinois, passed nearly one hundrea
gravel stones after two weeks use OF Aikavis.
Rev. Tohn IL Watson, of Sunset, Texas, a minister
of the gospel of thirty years service was struck
down at his post of duty by Kidney dlsease.
After lowering between lie ana death , iof Two
months, and sll his doctors having failed, ne
took Alkavis, and was completely restored 10
health and strength, and is fulfilling his duties ss
miuister of the gospel. Mr.. r. c. Wood, prom.
inent q ttorney Of Lowell, Indiana, was cured OF
Rheumat isin Kidney and Bladder disease OF ten
Years standing, by Alkavis. MI. Wood describes
himself as being In Instant misery, often CON-
PEELED to rise ten times during the night on
account of weakness of the bladder: He was
treated by all his home physicians without the
least benefit and finally completely cured in
few weeks by Alkavis. The testimony Is UNI
doubted and really wonderful. Mrs. James
Young of Kent, Ohio writes that she had tried
six doctors in vain, that she was about to give
up in despair when she found Alkavis and was
promptly cured of kidney disease and restored
10 health. Many other ladies also testify to the
wonderful curative powers of Alkavis IN the
various disorders peculiar to womanhood.
So far the Church Kidney Cure Com
pany, No. 472 Fourth Avenue, New
York, are the only importers of this
new remedy, and they are so anxious to
prove its value that for the sake of intro
duction they will send free treatment
of Alkavis prepaid by mail to every
reader of this paper who is a Sufferer
from any form of Kidney or Bladder
disorder, Bright's Disease, Rheuma-
tisrn, Dropsy, Gravel, Pain in Back,
Female Complaints, or other affection
due to improper action of the Kidneys
or Urinary Organs. We advise all Suf-
erers to send their names and address
to the company, and receive the Alkavis
free. It is sent to you entirely free. to
prove its wonderful curative powers.
