Jay Could. Piucky Daughter.

The courageous maner in which Miss
Helen Gould, the daughter of the late
Jay Gould, the millionaire railroad or
organizer, hastened to defend his good
name when it was attacked by women
who had conspired not only to defame
his character, but also to obtain a d.
vision Of his money. does her great
credit. No doubt she could have easily
settled the suit out of court and es-
capped all the unpleasant publicity and
notoriety which her appearance In
court occasioned; but with the same
firmness and courage which character
lied her father, she refused from the
outset every offer of compromise and
fought to the end for the vindication
of her fathers name. Her brother
George Could busy man as he Is with
the care OF many millions, gave his
sister his cordial support No labor
and no money was spared In the ef-
fort to clear the name of Jay Gould.
1t was charged that wher he was
young man Jay Gould had married
country girl whom he subsequently de-
serted. 1t was shown that the charge
was the result of conspiracy, and the
conspirators themselves were compelled
to walk into court and confess their
guilt. If every attempt at blackmaii
were met as promptly and fought as
vigorously, respectable men and wo-
men generally would drejoice.-Leslie's

He tried the best physicians but without
being benefited and he used several specific
rheumatic cures, but was not helped. About
one year and six months ago he read in
this paper Of a case somewhat similar to
his which was cured by DIR. Williams Pink
Pills and concluded to try this remedy.
After taking the first box he felt some
what better, and after using three boxes,
the pains entirely disappeared, the dizzi-
ness left him, and he has now for over .
year been entirely free from all his former
trouble and enjoys better health than he
has had since his boyhood.
He is loud in his praises of Dr. Williams
Pink Pills for Pale People and will gladly
corroborate the above statements. His post

Cuban Was Killed with a. 1.
From the New York Journal: H. l.
Y. Parkhurst. q well-known artist with
studio in one of the skyscrapers ON
Nassau street, was recently presented
with . machete which has the reputa-
ton Of being one Of the most deadly
sver sent to this country from Cuba
Tho machete is one of Spanish make.
and originally belonged to . blood
thirsty Spanish officer, who, in an At
tempt to outrival Butcher" Weyler's
fame for heads. finally succumbed him
self after having been credited with
the death Of at least 100 Cubans. His
machete later became the properly Of
. private. whose habit 1t was to notch
the blade upon each victim. He had
sent fifty adversaries to their death,
and then he was killed himself. The
history Of the blade 10 lost from the
death Of the private till some time af-
ter. when it again resumed its former
deadly career in the hands Of Span
ish soldier at one of the battles of
Santa Diego de Cuba. Here It was put
to such use-twenty-fve a day falling
before it-that It became too notched
after a while to be of further use, and
the soldier who welded 1t threw It
away with disgust. This typical Span
ish weapon, which resembles In way
great butcher knife, with its three
foot blade, has a handle Of silver and
bone. Although in point Of history
the machete is an old weapon. 1t has
never been used to such an extent by
any nation as 1t has been by the
Spaniards and the Cubans since the
beginning of the war between them.
James Edwards, a cadet in training
for the position of captain on the Red
d liner Philadelphia, which OCCASION
ally touches at Cuba, saw the machete
during one of these trips, and upon
learning of its record. professed such
a fondness for the weapon that the
Spanish officer who had come into
possession of 1t and laid 1t aside as a
curio, presented 1t to him. Edwards
brought 1t to this city, and upon an
offer made him by Parkhurst for the
machete he parted with it. Parkhurst.

Reasons why One of the Largest Coal
Companies AboiIshed the Evil.
From the Mahony City. Pa. Daily
Record: The Cross Creek Coal COM
pany is out in an explanation in the
Hazleton papers that they have not
decided to close their company stores,
a. some newspapers have stated, be-
cause they were not paying, but be-
cause Of the agitation and sentiment
against these stores among the work.
men and community generally. There
was scarcely any necessity to correct
the ridiculous statement that the COM
pany store Is not a profitable enter
prise. but 1t is a sign of awaking to
sense of public duty when We are
told that they have given way to the
pressure Of law and public opinion, Of
which they have been so long defiant
It IL true that this statement of the
company's attitude Is accompanied by
another-that this company has al
ways shown a spirit OF liberality and
benevolence toward Its employees; has
frequently extended needed help in
times of distress to the families Of its
employees; has established a hospital
for the treatment Of their injuries and
has provided training schools in which
they have received instruction and aid
in the struggle of life. We would be
the last to cast dlscredit on the warm
heartedness Of the Coke ladies, and the
memory of the late Eckley B. Coke
is fragrant of the performance Of many
humanitarian deeds, but charity or
liberality in one direction cannot take
the place of wrong and oppression in
others. Law and public opinion are
stirred by the harsh and oppressive
and unrepublican nature Of the COM
pany store system. Experience and
public opinion proclaim that forced
relations between employe and en-
ployer should end when the former
performs faithful service which the
latter rewards with payment In the
coin Of the realm, leaving to his indi-
vidual responsibility the proper outlay
OF his earned wages.
