A FEARFUL EXPERIENCE.
LOST THE USE OF HIS LEGS AND
ARMS.

Edwin R. Trip, of Middlefield Cen
ter, N. Y, Meets with Hazard
GUS Encounter Which Renders
Him Helpless.
Mr.. Edwin II. Trip, the post
master at Middlefield Centre. N. Y.
recently had dangerous experience
which left him in a helpless state.
His system was so much shattered
that ii was feared he might never
recover. In an interview with re-
porter of the Republican, regarding
his experience, Mr.. Trip stated:
SIN March, 1892, l was taken with
what / afterward learned was loco
motor ata1ia, and was unable to
walk, and kept getting worse until
| lost the use of my arms. l doc
tored with two skillful doctors but
received no benefit, and also used
a galvanic battery but kept getting
worse and the doctors told me they
could do no more. This was in May
and June, 1892. l gave up all hope
OF ever having the use Of nay limbs
again, and did not expect to live
very long. 1 was unable to dress or
undress myself, and could not got
around the house unless | was moved
in a chair.
81 think it was in June that [ read
OF the case of man in Saratoga Co.
N. Y, who was taken very much as
myself. He had taken DR.. Williams
Pink Pills which contained in a con-
densed form, all the element neces-
sary to give new life and richness to
the blood and restore shattered
nerves, and had been cured by their
use.
| used the pills faithfully and
they gave me an appetite. then
sent for four more boxes, and before
had taken all Of them my feet and
legs which had been cold began to
get warm.
81 was a member of the Town
Board that summer and had to be
carried and put into wagon to go
to the meetings, and in fact was
helpless, as my neighbors know. In
August l could walk around the
house by pushing chair l kept
getting better and managed to move
around more, until at election time
that year, 1 walked with cane to
the polls, a short distance from my
home. | continued to take DR..
Williams Pink Pills until l had
taken eighteen boxes. could then
get around. and to-day walk to post
Office and back, distance of one
quarter of mile, three times day,
and attend to my duties as post
master,
'Iu the spring of 1893 l was elected
town clerk which Office | held for
three years, | had previously been a
justice OF the peace for thirty two
years. | am now 70 years of age
and have lived in this town for
about forty-six years. l consider
that my restoration to health is due
to the use of DR.. Williams Pink
Pills. EDWIN r. TRIP"
Subscribed and sworn to before
me this 23rd day of June, 1897.

Roadside Orchards.

The experiment Of planting fruit
trees along the sides of public high
ways has been tried with satisfactory
results in several German States ard
in Austria, and the products Of tie
plantations have been the means u
adding considerably to the revenues or
the governments thereof. In SaXony
the profit derived by the State from
tia: source during fourteen years Isl
estimated at about 100000. Planting
of forest trees by the sides of the roads
has been abandoned in Wurtemberg,
and the planting and care of fruit trees
arc regulated by law. The trees are
placed in the care Of the abutting pro-
prietor under the supervision Of the
highway inspector. In Bavaria and the
Palatinate each road man is duplicated
by horticulturist. for whose qualifica-
ton special instruction is provided,
and who has to pass competitive ex-
animation In some regions the lines
Of the railroads are also planted, and
in other the minor roads and even pri-
vate roads.

Direct Vote Of the PeOple.

1t is a singular aud not generally
known TACT that no official OF the
United States is elected by the direct
vote of the people. The President and
Vice President are not named In the
ballots cast at presidential election,
but in their stead appear the names Of
a number of gentlemen, most Of whom
are unknown even by name to the
great mass Of voters. The members Of
the Presidents Cabinet are selected by
himself and are confirmed ON his
recommendation as his personal adj
visers. Supreme justices, judges OF
the Circuit and District Courts are
named by the President. who, with his
Cabinet, dominates, with n few trivial
exceptions, all other United States
officials. Members Of the United
States Senate are elected Ivy the State
Legislatures. Representatives are
voted for directly by the people. but
neither Senators nor Representatives
are properly officials of the United
States. While the people Of this coun-
try are the ruling power, the exercise
of that power, SO far as the United
States Government Is concerned, IS
largely indirect. >Ssef

The difficulty with Great Britain In
regard to the Behriug Sea arises out
of the claim Of the United States to the
