ton most remarkable for health and longev-
ity. The plain, undecorated facts about Dr.
Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery are all
that is necessary TO convince far-1nlnded
people of its transcendcnt merit. They
are as follows:
All diseases come from germs. The germs
get into the blood, propagate and increase
in the blood, which carries them all over the
body. When they find a weak spot, they
stick 10 the weak spot. 1t becomes dis
eased spot, and the disease is called by the
name corresponding TO its location in the
body. The cause is the same for nearly all
diseases. All impurities are germs or breed
germs. Impure blood means germ filled
blood. Kill the germs, eliminate the i'm.
purities, enrich the blood, and it will force
itself into the diseased spot and strengthen
it, and give it power to throw off the germs
that exist there. DR.. Pierce's Golden Med
ical Discovery is designed 20 do this-that
is the theory. The facts are these-tens OF
thousands of people have used the Dis
covefy." 1t used to be sold with the under
standing that if it didn't cure, it should be
returned, and the money refunded. No.
body ever asked for the money, and so that
clause was dropped. Thousands of people
have written voluntary letters of thanks to
its discoverer. A few of these letters have
been included i'll Dr.. Pierce's great thou.

NO WAGNER FESTIVAL.
But the Pilgrimage TO Bayreuth Will
be Resumed in 1899.

London,-Aug. 1S.-The announcement
comes from Bayreuth, apparently by
authority, that there will be no Wagner
festival next year The next season will
be in 1899.
The Prince and Princess of Wales,
travelling as Lord and Lady Renfrew,
have been attending the performances
those of the opening cycle. There is
good authority, by the way, for the
statement that the Prince of Wales has
cancelled his plan to visit Hamburg in
the latter part of the month, because
he does not wish to meet Emperor Will
liam there.
Siegfried Wagner is credited with ex-
German attitude toward the Bayreuth
festivals. He says. THE French have
always been our most Jealous adher-
ents Now, as always, the principal
supporters of Bayreuth are French,
Americans, and British. Moreover, the
English shame in every way the Ger
mans who are supine, while the Ger
man press is antagoniStic. But it can
continue to be so, for the more it abuses
US the greater our success.
You can also see now what a miser-
able state German music and German
musicians are in. What are our ma
tional high schools of music doing for
US and our cause and what have they
| done? Nothing. If they ever occupied
| themselves with the works of my faith
| er they did it not out of conviction but
| because they had to, for they would
have disgraced themselves if they had
| stuck to their craziness or spitefulness.
Get along with your Germans and
| Germanism! If it depended on them
the existence of our FeStspiel would
| long since have been endangered"

Mr.. HRss1N,s RECORD.

John E. HesSin has denied what some
people might regard as the only re-
deeIning feature in the sketch about
him published in the State Journal re-
Gently, and that is, that he is a Meth
odist deacon. He is a reSubmiSSioniSt
and has acted as attorney for the
American book trust. The latter fact
ought not to initiate against him,
however, if one would be perfectly fair,
for Mr.. Hessin being lawyer, natural
ly takes all the legal business offered
him. On~the other hand being state
senator it was not reassuring when a
textbook bill was before the legislature
paid six times by the book trust to de-
fend their interests in the
courts Every candidate must
sand on his record. John E. Hes
sins record is very good. A man may
be a resubmissionist and be upright,
honorable man. There is room for
wide difference of opinion on the pro-
hibitory law. 1t all depends on your
point of view. Mr.. Hessin, no doubt,
honestly holds his opinions on this sub
ject. In his work for the American
book company, he acted as any lawyer
would for the best interests of his eli
ent Nevertheless, these facts would
handicap him with a large class of vot-
ers. It would have been a very good
thing if Mr.. HeSsiu had been a Meth
odist deacon. This would have partial
ly offset the prejudice aroused by the
resubmission and book trust business;
but Mr. Hessin says he isn't a Method
list deacon; and so the matter stands.

MADE LOVE TO JENNY LIND
Museum Managers After "Boot" Van
Steen burgh.

Kingston, N. Y, Aug. 1S.-George
Huber, the Fourteenth street dime mu-
scum manager of New York, is after
Boot" Van Steenburgh, the hermit
lover of Jenny Lind, to exhibit in his
place.
Van Steenburgh has lived in a shan
ty on the old stage road, about four
miles south of Saugerties, for 80 or
more years. He is between 20 and 80
years of age. He made love to Jenny
Lind many years ago, and, when driven
from her presence, purchased a hand
organ and ground it underneath her
window until restrained by the police
He is a harmless imbecile yet with
rare conversational powers for a crazy
man.
AS attraction in a museum, he
