Mayor Courtney, in employing Pline's
Celery COmpond in his family, had the
example and assurance of many persons
who occupy to-day responsible positions
in other cities.
Mayor Ramsdell of Lynn, Il personal
friend of Mayor Courtney, recently gave
his opinion of this great remedy as fol-
lows:
"A previous experience with Palnc's
Celery Compound as reStorcrc OF eX-
hauSted energy induced me to take it
agaip, the many duties of the mayors
office having taxed my slight Physical
resources greatly. | made no mistake.
In ione week ! found my appetite inn

poaring and my nerves becoming stead
ier.i Pa:ne's Celery Compond has thus
been Il friend in time of need and | like
to say d word for Il, friend"
His unhesitafing recommendatiCn had
much to do with It's use by Mayor Court
ney
Mayor Miles B. Preston, Of Hartford.
CT. said within a day or two, speaking
of tire same remedy:
"The modern man Of business, be he
ever so sturdy. finds often that the con-
tinnad pressure of affairs has caused

Congressman Skinner was reported bv

And we very much mistake the senti-

NEWSPAPER REPORTS OF LEE.

Since General Lee arrived Ill this coul-
try. specially during his journey from
Havana to Washington. there have been
,umberless statements attributed 10
him which were so indiscreet as to we'll
warrant lack of credence in them. The
only utterances of which we may, per-
hans. be certain are those of the Consul
General in his speech in Washington as
VOL rs. in his testimony before the Sen
ate Investigating Committee. In his
sneech. General Lee disclaimed any spe-
cal honor for what he had done. Ihat
sounds like him. Then i'll his testimony
before the committee, he did not seem
TO lose his head for a moment. AS mucn
as he was provoked against Blanco for
his cowardly insult. he was yet in his
testimony self-poised enough to acqult
him of any knowledge of the Maine
explosion. Moreover, he stated, in spite
of his warm sympathy with the Cubans,
that he did not think they had anything
more than :. a moving capital for their
alleged government
Then again when he was asked to ac-
cept Il demonstration or reception IN
Washington, he is reported in the Wash
ington Post Of yesterday as follows:
Gen. Fitzhugh Lee has declined the
honor of the reception rendered him by
the Confederate Veterans Association
Al, rnin mi
committee waited upon him yesterday to
receive his final decision he spoke char
acteristically. Look here. boys he said
L haven't done thing that either one
of you, or any American citizen would
not have done. and don't see why there
should be any fuss made about it, Now,
/ don't want you to think I'm migrate
full, for am not, but have studied over
the matter and / feel satisfied that it
would be better not to have the recep-
ton. / don't want for an instant
anybody to think that / wish to put my
self forward. and must decline your
most kind offer
Gen. Lee is still at the Shoreham
and receives many callers daily His
mail is also very large. and his son, Fitz
Lee, IT., is assisting him in answering
it,
That sounds like him. and. In the
absence Of confirmation it is well to dis
credit the foolish things that have been
attributed TO him and rest our belief
upon utterances such as the above as
well as upon the common sense, prudence
and timely silence which characterized
his career in Cuba.
Fitz Lee has not been a man to make
breaks" and used to triumphs in many
other fields he is not apt to become So
upset as to begin making breaks" al

all, and more than all, the best. In

indispensable. Its management is
