Paris to Have an Electric System
That Is Robbed of Many Dangers.


The electric trolley system to be in
troduced in Paris in time for the inter-
national exposition of 1900 is vastly Diff
ferent from that commonly employed
in the United States, inasmuch as the
dangerous overhead wires are absolute
ly done away with. The new system,
says the Philadelphia Record, is the in
vention Of the French engineer Bochet,
and, while rather simple, it steers clear
of the objection on account of insight
ly obstruction, which is usually raised
when overhead wires have to go up.
Bochet establishes overhead contacts
from electric lamp posts belonging to
the city. The distance between posts
being somewhat smaller than the
length of the electric train, con-
sisting of two or three cars, so
that contact is always assured at
one point at least. Through fex-
ible points of contact suspended from
each electric light post along the pro-
posed line the current will be taken up
by means Of a copper rail fastened
along the edge of the roof of the car
not less than II or Is feet from the
ground. The contact point will slide
along that copper rail, and there is not
the slightest difficulty in establishing
q continuous current if the points of
contact are made sufficiently elastic.
The current is allowed to return to the
power station through the track of the
line, as usual. This system offers all
the benefits of the overhead, as we'll as
of the underground systems, without
any Of their shortcomings.

Dr. Franklin Miles, l.. L. B., of Chicago,
one Of the most eminent authorities on dis
eases of the heart and nerves, and president
of the DR.. Miles Medical Co., Elkhart, Ind,
In a recently published article on 1.-THE
Theory of Disease" advances the idea that
nearly all diseases of the heart, lungs, liver,
stomach, and kidneys, are the natural re-
suits OF debiitated condition OF the nerv-
Gus system, which has rendered these or
gans incapable OF performing the functions
demanded from them. DR.. Miles claims
that most of these disorders can be cured,
and all may be greatly benefited by treating
the nerve centers in the brain, thus remov-
ing the irritating cause. AS these nerve
centres control all portions of the body, fur
nishing them with nerve force, vitality and
power, it will be readily seen that anything
which lessons the power of the brain to gen.
crate nerve force, must in the same proper
ton cause weakness and disease of the body
that organ or part which has the least
natural strength to resist, being the first to
be affected. Although somewhat startling,
because of their newness, DR.. Miles theo-
ries are reasonable, marking new era in
medical science and have been generally
accepted by the medical profession who
have kept up with the times. The doctors
pamphlets may be had without cost by ad-
dressing the company at Elkhart, Ind.

SENATOR BUTLER TELLS WHY
THEY DIDN'T REFORM.

Come all We patriots, young and old,
And listen while l tell;
To you l will the tale unfold
OF how your trustees fell
For they bought DIS.
We went to Raleigh to reform
All things both high and low;
But goldbugs there us did ensnare
And dome" us fast and slow
Cause they bought us.
On stump and stand we did proclaim
Ourselves the chosen few,
Who by the peoples rights would stand
Always, forever true
But they bought us.
The only true and faithful band,
CWe'll e'er sing that ditty)
For, pledged to stand on every hand,
1t was the greatest pity
That they bought us.
Though warriors 'gainst the yellow gold
And bank notes crisp and new.
How could we help a change of mind
When they shook them at US
SO they bought us.
Now one more chance is all we ask,
To smite them hip and thigh;
Wen regulate both freights and fares
And make the goldbugs sigh
Unless they buy us.

Heah's cotton for wipin' you eyes!
