RHEUMATISM.
New Tsrrors In Store For sufferers From
the Little Understood Disease.

New Tsrrors I'm Store For Sufferers From
the Little Understood Disease.
Now we are told that not only are
cancer and consumption contagious, as
we'll as several other diseases long re-
garded as individual, but that rheu1na-
tism may be transmitted from one per-
son to another by contact as well as BY.
heredity. This is the more alarming be-
cause rheumatism, for which there are
more sure cures than a pharmacist can
compound in week. is virtually incur
able by drugs and is the disease Of all
diseases that is not understood by the
medical profession. Nobody knows ex-.
actly or approximately what rheuma
tism is It is described with high de-
gree of positiveness in medical books,
but the fact that Affections wholly un-i
like are classed under the general head
of rheumatism is proof that there is no
certain knowledge Of its character. It
is found to be associated with disorders
of the throat and stomach and with dis
tinctly nervous affections. The varieties
run from muscular rheumatism to neu-
ralgia, yet as to what tissues are most
involved in the worst form of the dis
ease and in what manner they are in
volved there are as many opinions as
there are varieties of rheumatism.
The rheumatic patient, who some
times suffers all the pangs of govt, has
a hard enough time of it at best with
out being regarded as center of phys
ical as we'll as moral pestilence. He is
irritable, pugnacious, impatient, I'M
grateful and profane. His Immediate
relations bear. with these mortal infirm-
his sufferings. They generously put
themselves within the range and reach
of his shoes CT whatever missiles he has
at hand, in order that he may vary the
monotony of pain with the pleasure of
personal assault. To announce the con-
| tagiousness of rheumatism is to drive
| away from his bedside all sympathetic
and enduring friends. When they wit
ness the moral decay of a good man in
the clutches of this disease, they are
naturally disposed to save themselves
/ by flight from like condition. .
What the victims of rheumatism have
right to ,intain is that the doctors
know too ilvie about the disease. They
are too helr 'ess in it's violent stage tc
have any warrant for further dogmatic
| affirmations about it. If rheumatism is
to be classed among the contagious dis.
eases, it will be necessary to regulate
the Turkish bath establishments as we
do smallpox hospitals, or they will be
come centers from which rheumatism
will radiate like cholera from oriental
wells. Man is kept busy enough dodg,
ing the microbes of other diseases with
out being compelled to ward off rheu.

What Lincoln Had Learned.

Mr.. Albert Blair, writing in the st.
Louis Globe-Democrat about President
Lincoln, remarks especially upon his
unaffectedness, and in SO doing relates
story which may prove an encour-
agement to readers who have sometimes
found themselves ignorant where they
had supposed themselves we'll informed.
In February, 1865, Mr.. Blair was
present at White House reception, a
general reception, open to everybody.
Mr.. Lincoln was attended by Judge Da-
vid Davis, who took the names of all
Corners and introduced them to the
president
VI course there was a crowd, and no.
body had tine for more than wore,
and a handshake. Mr.. Blair was pre-
sented to the president, and then STEP
ped aside toswatch the show. Mr.. Lin
coin and Judge Davis carried on con-
versation, constantly interrupted though
it was.

enough to be heard by many of the BY

Rich, but Beautiful.

If young man would contemplate
an ideal of useful living, we commend
to him the address delivered by Carl
Schurz at the funeral Of William Stein
way, the head of the great house of
piano manufacturers. After referring
to the fact that the dead man began his
active life as a simple workman and in
his success remained the ideal knight of
labor Mr.. Schurz said:
"He was pattern as rich man.
wish I could call the millionaires Of
the land to this bier aud say to them,
Those among you who lament that at
times poverty looks with mutterings on
riches learn from this dead man.
Ellis millions were never begrudged
him. The dark glance of envy never fell
upon him. Consciousness itself passed
him by disarmed and reconciled. Yes,
every one would have rejoiced to see
him still richer, for every one knew
that everything he got contributed to
the welfare Of all

duties of wealth. There was no pulled
up pride Of possession, no extravagant
prank Of display. Simple as ever re-
NAMED his being, modest his mode Of
life. But he knew one luxury, and he
practiced it; that was the luxury Of the
liberal hand-a princely luxury that
few of the worlds greatest have in
dulged in more richly than he.
1T was not money alone that he
gave. It was the heart JOY Of the genu-
inc benefactor, with which he babe the
worthy welcome and often anticipated
their wants. 1t was the bright cheerful
ness Of the willi1g giver who could con-
ceive no abuse his generosity

say that in this man every human being
has lost brother? Youth 8 Compan-

j. r. WATKINS,

In the year 1868, Mr.. ]. R. Watkins first began
the manufacture of DR.. Wards Linment. For
years he struggled along with limited means,
striving with all his powers and at times despair
ing of success, but at last established living,
paying business, and made the name s'Dr. Wards"
a household word in thousands of homes. Dur
ing all these long years of toiing and waiting,
MI. Watkins little thought that men could be
found so lost to every principle of right and
Justice as to undertake 70 despol him of his bus
mess, and themselves to attempt to harvest the
fruits of his lifelong labors. However, in this
matter, he learned that he was mistaken. In
various parts of the country, sprang up bogus
agents offering medicines said to be Dr.. Wards or
Niust as good as DR.. Ward's,' frequently leading
customers into thinking they had the genuine
article. Therefore, in order to protect his busi-
ness and the public from being imposed upon,
Mr.. Watkins bought from Richard Ward, the
Worldwide right to use his name as trade
mark for full line of medicines, and caused the
same to be registered in the u. S. Patent Office
No. 1855.
All customers are hereby cautioned to see that

SECRETARY SHERMAN

Declares That Spain Must Keep Her
Hands Off American Citizens-OppOsed
to Annexation.
NEW YORK, April 17.-Alfred Henry
Lewis, in Washington dispatch to the
Journal, writes:
Spain must keep her hands off
American citizens" said Secretary
Sherman. Il would employ every
gun, man, ship and dollar in the
reach of this government in defense
of the meanest of our citizens.
That is my Cuban policy and that
is all of it. l do not believe
in interfering between Spain and
Cuba; they must settle their own af-
fairs, solve their own difference l
do not believe in becoming Cuba's pro-
tector. Should she become free by
her own efforts, l should not favor an
nexation. We don't want her. We have
undeveloped country Of our own,
enough for centuries. To go in for
any policy of annexation that would
annex Cuba or even arrange a protec-
torate in the nature of guardianship,
should she hereafter become free,
would mean vast expense and great
tax to us. We would have to keep up
four times the navy and army we dc

EVACUATING.
The Struggle in Cubs Given Up by Spain

The Struggle i'm Cubs Given Up by Spain
Soldiers Being Shipped Away Under
the Pretense That They are Sick or
Wounded.
HAVANA, April 17.-Ona Melton, the
imprisoned correspondent, writes from
Cabanas Fortress as follows: 1T was
reported that so sick and wounded sol
diers were tc be embarked for Spain
Friday, but the soldiers who EN- barked
were able bodied men, and there were
no sick and wounded among them. Il he
story that they were invalids is a ruse
to cover the fact that the Spanish
evacuation of Cuba has commenced,
Weyler some days ago having received
instructions to begin a gradual with.
drawal of the troops in as quiet a
manner as possible. -
HAVANA; April 17-Spanish reports
of coming peace to Cuba are gaining
credence here. 1t is said that Spain
will grant independence to Cuba by
the payment of an indemnity by the
Cubans, the Washington government
acting as an intermediary. 1t is claim
ed that the remaining obstacle in the
way of making a peaceful arran ge-
ment has been the uncompromiSing
attitued of Senior Canovas Del Castillo
and some of the prominent leaders of
the conservative party in Spain.
As soon as there is change in the
government at Madrid and the liberal
party, led by Senior Segasta, assumes
power it is said that treaty of peace
| will be concluded. All the other par
ties are in complete accord and only
await change in the Spanish admin
istration to announce their decision.
La Lucha alludes to these reports
and announces that they are believed
| to be true by Spanish military men.
The offer said to have already been
sent to Secretary Sherman by the
| Cubans is for the payment of 500. 0O0,-
| 600 to Spain on the. condition of abso-
lutte independence. Nothing short of
that will be considered, much less ac-
copied.
Gen. Weyler is sending small num-
bers of troops home by every steamer.
They are described as sick and
wounded" but a report has gained
currency that they are in reality able.
bodied men, and.that their deportation
is in reality part of the movement
for the gradual evacuation of the
island by Spain.
The report is denied that Gen. Ro-
loft holds the port Of Banes. Though it
| is really in the hands of the Spanish,
Weyler may make a theatrical fake
attack on the place and claim great

trill Instructs the Grand Jury in
the DR.. Hunter Bribery Case.

LOUISVILLE, KY, April 16.-A special
to the Evening Post from Frankfort.
says:
1t is reported, on what is believed to
be excellent authority, that there is a
serious breach between State Senator
Henry l.. Martin and eX-United States
Senator j. c. S. Blackburn, of the sill
yer democrats Martin, who has
worked like Trojan for Blackburn dur
ing the past two years. feels that he
now has chance to win the prize him
self, it having been conclusively
demonstrated that Blackburn can not
be elected, as Black burn and his lieu
tenants have so far declined to counte-
nance the movement and have even
gone SO far as to bitterly denounce
Martin for his alleged treachery. But
this was done in private, while in open
the Blackbur men were Solicitious as
to Martin.
AT $3.50 Thursday morning Judge
Cantrill, of the Franklin circuit court,
ordered the grand jury to report at
once on the bribery charges which it
has been investigating.

grand jurors into open court and in
structed them as to their duty in the
case before them. He said he regretted
that the matter came up before the
adjournment of the legisla ture, and
felt that it was the duty of the legis-
lature to wash its own dirty linen, but
having attempted Investigation, it was
their duty to probe it to the bottom,
land in so doing, command you to
not show any favoritism." This I'M
usual step on the part of circuit
Judge was received with surprise by
both republicans and democrats alike.
The first ballot in the joint session of
the legislature Thursday resulted as
follows: Hunter So, Blackburn 43,
Martin 10, Boyle 6, Stone 1, leaving
Hunter two votes short of an election.
No motion to adjourn was made and
the second ballot was ordered.
The second and third ballots result
ed as follows: Hunter 81, Blackburn
AZ, Martin 10, Boyle 6, Stone /. A mo-
ton was then made that the general
assembly adjourn, which prevailed.

Mr.. GLADSTONE
Writes a Letter on Enelapd's Attitude on
the Cretan Troubles.

LONDON, April 17.-Mr. Gladstone
has written a letter to the Macedonian
leader, Capt. Dampzes, in which he
says:
Under the present deplora0le
scheme all the British government has
right to do, seemingly, is to plead
its opinions before tribunal Of two
youthful despots, the emperors' of
Germany and Russia, and to abide by
their help to execute their final de-
termination.
Our disgraceful Office seems to be to
place ships, guns, soldiers and sailors
at their disposal for the purpose of
keeping down the movement for the
liberty of Crete and of securing to
these young despots, who have in no
wise earned the confidence of Europe,
the power of deciding questions which
rightfully belong to the Cretans."

The Remains of Ex-senator Daniel w
Voorhees, Buried in Highland LawI
Cemetery. Terre Haute, Ind.

The Remains of Ex-senator Daniel w.
Voorhees, Buried in Highland Lawn
Cemetery. Terre Haute, Ind.
TERRE HAUTE, Ind, April 16.-The
funeral of ex-senator d. w. Voorhees,
took place Thursday afternoon from
st. Stephens Episcopal church, Rev.
John E. Sulger, the rector, officiating.
This is the church in which he
was confirmed a number of years
ago and which he has attended
when here. During the two
days the remains have been here,
the funeral having been delayed
awaiting the arrival of his eldest son,
Charles S. Voorhees,, of Spokane, Wash,
they have lain in state in the parlors
of the Terre Haute house, which he
has made his home since he broke up
housekeeping number of years ago.
A steady stream Of people has passed
through the fiower-em bordered room
and looked upon the face of their dead
friend.
All classes and conditions of people
have been represented and their tear
full eyes have told the story of the uni
versal sorrow.
During the afternoon all places of
business in the central part of the city
were closed. The public and private
schools were dismissed, and the whole
town united in doing honor to its dis
tinguished son.
Senator Voorhees, was a mason and
the various masonic lodges partici-
pated in the funeral exercises, while
the city council and many civic and
military organizations followed his re-
mains to the grave in Highland Lawn
cemetery, where he was laid beside his
wife, who died several years ago.
Gov. Mount, ex-Gov. Matthews and
many distinguished men from all over
Indiana were present. while from the
towns near by delegations came by the
hundreds, for in all these towns he
was almost as well known as here at
home. The funeral was the most i'm.
pressive that ever took place in the
history of this city. Among the hon.
orary pallbearers were Col r. W.
Thompson and Hon. w. r. McKeen.
