PERILS OF AFFECTION.

Few People Realize How Exhaustiny the
Tender Sentiment Is-A Physicians Good
Advice.
II mere is no way by which people
exhaust themselves, or Kill themselves,
SO quickly as by exercising the affec-
tons
This striking remark was made by
one OF the best physicians in America.
He was a man who had studied deep
~, observed keenly, and knew men and
women thoroughly. Continuing, he
said:
sentiment is grand, lovely thing,
and the world cannot live without it,
but the exercise of the sentiments in
variably exhausts. People may not feel
1t, but 1t is true nevertheless. A man
or woman wears out, breaks down,
and then wonders at the cause. There
should be no occasion for wonder. l
have explained the cause
If men and women of the nine
teenth century do not feed the forces
that produce sentiments, affections,
feelings, they are certain to break
down, to become exhausted, and to die
before their time. Do not tell me these
things are theories, for they are SOL
emn facts"
You ask me what l would do he
continued. Il answer: Begin to feed
them with the best and most scientific
discovery you can secure. If you ask
me what is the best, | rnhesitatingly
say it is that grand preparation which
has been SO long before the people and
is so popular, Warners Safe Cure.
know that it possesses powers known
to no other discovery, and | know that
thousands of men and women cannot
live without it to-day. If you will
stop and think, Or ask your friends,
you will see that what ! say is correct,
and | believe be led to try it at once
if you have not already done So
The facts stated by the doctor and
the advice he gives are sound. 1t is
absolutely true that many men and
women are enabled to live and enjoy
life entirely through the power which
this great remedy gives them, and
there are thousands of others who need
to follow in the same path.

THE SPANISH FLOTILLA.
Its Delay Due to Damage to One of the
Boats


Madrid, March 22-It is reported
that the Spanish war ship selected to
convoy the torpedo fotilla has sailed
from Carthagena for the Canary Is
lands. 1t appears that the delay n
the voyage of the torpedo boats is
due to the fact that the .Ariete, one
of the Spanish torpedo boats, sustain
ed some slight damage while on her
way from Cadiz to the Canaries Span
-ish newspapers advocate further
strengthening of the naval squadron
in Cuba, so as not to be caught at
disadvantage in case of war.
The Heraldo thinks that in view Of
the OBSERVATIONS preparations of the
United States, Spain has full liberty to
make similar preparations.
The Globo insists that injury las
not been done to Spain by the United
States squadron remaining close TO
the seat of war. 1t gladly notes, how
ever, that the verbal suggestions Of
Senior Polo Bernabe (the Spanish min
lister at Washington to Secretary
Sherman have led to the withdrawal
of a portion of the squadron. thus
demonstrating the cordiality existing
between the two countries.

Francis Wilson enjoys a popularity

place as a fun-maker, pure and simple.

The viva voce advertising which was
given the production by those who
witnessed the opening performance,
attracted a much larger audience to
the Grand Opera House last night to
witness Shannon Of the Sixth. 1t
is one Of the best dramatic offerings
of the season at popular prices. The
cannon scene is a marvellous piece of
stage realism, and it caused a rep
etition of the scene of the opening
night, when Mr.. Power and Miss Ma
cauley received most enthusiastic
curtain call. There is weird scene
in the last act, during which the In

mony Of a very solemn character In
the excellence of its company, in its

Bile attractions of the season. The en-
gagement at the Grand viii close with

Says the Asheville Citizen: At the

board of county commissioners the
following resolutions relating to the re,
pudiation suit o. the recent Republican
administration we're adopted: where
es, an action was commenced in the
Superior Court Of Buncombe county,
by summons issued the 28th day Of
December, 1897, wherein the board of
commissioners of BuncOmbe county
and 7. G.. Brown were made plaintiff,
and w. r. Payne, treasurer Of Bun
combe county, was made defendant,
the purposes OF which action were to
procure @ perpetual ir junction against
the treasurer of Buncombe county, for
bidding the payment Of principal or
interest of sos. 900 of coupon bonds,
issued by Buncombe county, and to
declare said bonds valid. We believe
that the bringing OF said suit has ma
terially impaired the credit OF the mu-
inequalities Of the State, and especially
of Buncombe county. And whereas,
we are Informed that the bonds issued
by Buncombe county by virtue Of the
authority granted in chapter 172 of the
public laws of 1898, authorizing Bun
combe county TO fund it's bonded in
d~ebtedness, were purchased in open
market by innocent purchasers fer
value and without notice and are now
held by such innocent purchasers; now,
therefore, be it resolved by the board
of commissioners Of BuUcombe county
that we deprecate the bringing of said
suit and disapprove of it's OK 3cts and
purposes. And be it further resolved
that the county attorney, J. D. Muir
ply, Esq, be, and he is hereby in
structed to thoroughly investigate said
case and the decisions OF the State and
the Federal courts in similar cases. and
the expenses incurred in bringing said
suit, and make due report to this board
as to whether any method or proceed
ure, under the law of the land, can be
adopted by which to protect the
county's credit and the peoples honor. -

SENATOR HILEMAN DEAD.

We regret very much to hear of the
death of Hon. Ambrose r. Hileman, so
we'll known to many Of our readers.
The Concord correspondent of the
Charlotte Observer Of Dac. Is b says:
"Mr. Hileman died yesterday at 9
o'clock, after having suffered from a
complication of diseases for several
years His 81 f9ring has been excep
tionally intense since he has been com
PEELED to quit all work. He was about
4S years old and leaves q wife and
eleven children. The funeral was con
Quoted at his church, Ne. Glead, this
afternoon. Mr.. Hileman is well known,
having been in public service a great
deal. His beginning of public life was
in 1881, when he was elected to the
General Assembly, having been an in
dependent candidate. He filed the
position Of county commissioner here,
on account of the resignation Of the
late r w. Allison, and was made
chairman of that body. He resigned
that ch ;e in 1891, having been elected
to the legislature as the Democratic
candidate through the Farmers ALI
ance. He was next elected by the
Populists in 1895 to the legislature.
The fusionists elected him to the posi-
ton again in 1896 and he became the
Speaker of the House in the legislature
of 1897. His name, almost without q
doubt, would have been offered by the
tusionists this year as the candidate
for Congress had not his health been
such that he could not possibly accept
