High school and graduated with distinc-
tion. After graduation he taught a little
school on the Bardstown road. While filling
this post he studied law and later matricu-
lated at the Louisville Law school. In 1866
he graduated from the law school and began
practice. In the early '7Os he was
elected to the office of county attorney,
which position he held until his election
to congress in 1876, when he succeeded
Henry Watterson, who had been selected
to fill the uneXpired term of f. V. Parsons.
He became favorite lieutenant of Mr.. Car
Isle and Unanswered his forces for the
speakership when Mr.. Carlisle was elected
for the first time in the Forty eighth con-
gress. Mr.. Carlisle then made Mr.. Willis
chairman of the rivers and harbors COM
mttee, which responsible position he ca
pably filled. Mr.. Willis served five terms
in congress. In 1886 he was succeeded by
Hon. Asher G. Caruth. He returned TO this
city and resumed the practice of his pro-
fession.
In 1898 Mr.. Willis received the appoint
ment minister to Hawaii. He accepted
and assumed the post. Mr.. Willis arrived
at the island during the most critical mo-
ment in its history. The queen had been
deposed and another government had taken
the place of the monarchy. The most intense
feeling existed as to what course the presi-
dent would adopt. Mr.. Cleveland intrusted
his secret orders to Mr.. Willis, and they
should be reinstated in the event of her
granting immunity to all political offenders.
This the queen declined to do.
In 1878 Mr.. Willis married Miss Florence
Bulaney. They have one son, Albert S.
Willis jr who is at Honolulu.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 15.-The news of the
death OF United States Minister Willis at
Honolulu was received with deep regret in
Washington At the time of his visit to
Washing on 1t was apparent that his health
was in an extremely precarious state and
that this fact he fully realized himself. Still
he felt that IL he could succeed in returning
to the Hawaiian islands without suffering
relapse he ultimately would regain his
health. President Cleveland was deeply af
fected at the news OF the minister's death.
He said he had known Mr.. Willis for many
years and In official life had been closely
associated with him. He was an honest and
thoroughly capable man, whom he held in
the highest esteem and of whose death he
learned with the deepest regret.

A doctor can tell you exactly what he
thinks is the matter with you. If he fully
realized just one great truth he would come
nearer TO ining this. The thing he doesn't
fully appreciate is the fact that the man with
pure blot and good digestion can never
have anything very serious the matter with
him. If you get your blood in good condi-
tion' and keep II rich, and pure and whole
some, you will thereby cure almost any dis.
ease with which mankind are afflicted A
sewer may be pretty dirty, but if you keep
continually flushing it with pure water, you
will eventually get it clean. The body may be
full of impurities, but in the natural course
of events these impurities will be excreted
and, If they are not replaced by other i'm.
purities, the body will become pure and
healthy. If you continually pump pure,
rich blood into diseased organ, the disease
will gradually disappear and soundness and
health of the tissues will be restored.
That is the theory and that is the actual
result of the use of DIR. Pierce's Golden
Medical Discovery. II dc csn't make any
difference what your doctor calls your dis
ease, the Golden Medical Discovery will
cure 1t and 1t will cure il by making the
blood pure and rich by stimulating the di.
gestive organs, invigorating the liver, and
by soothing and strengthening the nerves.
II is the most wonderful blood. maker and
tlesii-builder that has ever been known. II
isl the most successful medicine of its kind
that was ever prepared.
Sometimes in connection with the Golden
Medical Discovery II Is wise 10 take a few of DIR
Pierce's Pleasant Pellets. They are the only pos
Tive and permanent cure for constipation and as
fully restored Frequently the Pellets" are all
that are needed. One Is gentle laxative aud two
a mild eathartic, They are perfectly natural in
their action and cause no pain OF gripping.
