HISTORY.

Popular belief associates the
"king's Evip' with blood poi.
soning and it is interesting tc
here review the history of this
impression. The Kings Evil
first appears in History Just prior
to the Twelfth Century when
Edward the Conqueror imagined
| he possessed the miraculous gift
of curing certain diseases by the
simple touch and by pronouncing
few sacred words. After the
example of Edward, the King of
France, became celebrated for
the skill with which they cured
scrofula, goitre, ETC., by his pro-
cess. Scroflla then became uni
versally known as the Kings
Evil and is to-day sometimes al
luded to by that name. Such a
method of cure has been claimed
to be the peculiar attribute of the
sovereigns of England and
France, bnt history does not sam
ton this, for it appears to have
been not unfrequently employed
in Scandinavia, and to have been
derived from the mystical prac-
tices Of the Divide in curing dis
ease. The exact words used for
the cure of Scrofula by the
French Kings were:-".e roi te
touche, Dieu te guerisse.
In this enlightened age no.
body would be silly enough to
trust case Of Scrofula to King
or his words unless it happened
that the King aforesaid, had a
diploma or two from medical
colleges Of good repute. At this
writing none of the Kings i'll our
circle of acquaintance have taken
up the study OF medicine and we
therefore suggest that every man,
woman and child suffering from
this dreadful disease send fifty
cents to DR.. Jonathan G. Tru-
man, Lemon City, Fla, for a
bottle of "Marvelo' " There is
but one cure for the Kings Evil
for Scrofula and that one
cure is Marvelo. This marvel
ous preparation can only be OBJ
tanned of-Dr Jonathan G. Tru-
man, Lemon City, Fla.

One Of the opponents OF annexation OF
Hawaii declares that it would be impos.
sible to prevent Hawaii from becoming
State of the Union at some future day.
1t would be interesting to know why.
If ever, in the Judgment of this Nation,
Hawaii becomes fitted for Statcship, she
will probably get it, as she ought to do.
But until she is thus fitted there is no
power on earth that can force her into
the Union of States against the will of
the Nation.

TIE Virginia Senate has passed a bill
to prevent and punish deception in the
sale of imitation butter. Bills of this
sort are nearly as common as buttercups
and buttertingers, und yet the imitation
butter keeps on being scld. Still the
wicked wretches utter lrcadiully decep-
tive butter Why not put butter in the
Constitution Everybody knows that a
constitut .onal amendment is al infalliblc
remedy. When the law doesn't work,
try little Constitution. At the same
time, imitation butter is peculiarly wick
ed, and the safe thing to do is to make it
punishable with death, imprisonment
and fine. Perhaps thc'eatcr Of it should
be punished, too. Legislators should 90
to the root Of the matter, even if they
have to cut down the tree.

Hackett | will present for the first time in this city on Thursday evening, October 20, at the Hyperion, is well known in this country through his other successes, among them being "The Home secre- tary" and Liberty Hall," both of which dramas attained long runs in New York and the other big cities This will be MT. Hacketts first appear ance here as star, though he is not unknown, having been leading man of Daniel Frohman's Lyceum Stock com- pany for several seasons. The play is highly interesting, it's dialogue is ad- mlrabe and it's wit pungent. The deli cacy of MT. Cartons treatment of his chief theme-the sex problem-is alike remarkable and worthy of the highest commendation. Bronson Howard, the best of American dramatists said, af- ter seeing "The Tree of Knowledge at the Lyceum theater, New York: "This is distinct advance in dramatic art. So long as we do it with good taste in art, and with honesty of moral pur- pose dramatists should be at full lib- erty to discuss on the stage all social subjects that the nature of men and women of society ought to consider and can talk about together"

1T ST. MARY,s CHURCH.
Eloquent Sermon by Rev. Father
 Hassenfaus,

Hassenfaus,
 At St. Mary's R. c. church yesterday morning the Rev. Father George Ber- nard Hassenfaus of Louisville preached an able sermon on the blessings which may come to one from sickness. A large congregation was present and lis- tened with the deepest interest. Fath- CT Hassenfaus spoke in part as follows, passing his words on the miracle of Christ's healing the child of the noble man who came to Him:
 Some of you know what it is to have a son stricken down with disease. It is only those who know the grief that comes from sickness and the loss of friends who escape the grief of death. Sickness and death are the end of life. Man is his own worst enemy. Had Adam not disobeyed the command ments of God we should not know what sickness is. There is no one who has not felt the effect of Adams violation of Gods law Sickness is but nat ural consequence of Adams sin.
 "But yet, dear friends, sickness is a 7 DOOu duu ucS lIS DleoSluSo, llldoIlluSli cto it is a hamburger of death, for we are told that every sin must be expiated and we must suffer for every violation of Gods law. To-day some men think that God has lessened the need of eX- plating the violation of His law But the violation of Gods law must be eX- plated by us, either voluntarily or in voluntarily. It is foolish in this day of effeminacy for men to expect that God will be more lenient to us. Sickness, pain, torture and torment are our nat ural inheritance. It will pursue us to the grave. By means of sickness we may be brought to contemplate the life to come Sickness has one great ad- vantage in that it enables us to become reconciled to God and that we may real ize that it was our own folly that brought it upon us.
 .'If we bear our sickness alright we can escape the result of our sin. Not one of us can enter the realm of love before we have paid the utmost far thing However we may revel in health the time will soon come when we will be stricken down. Sickness, then. is a means by which we may ex- piate our sins. Oh! my friends, sick ness is boon-a blessing. By means of it also we may avoid the terrors of death.''
 Father Hassenfaus spoke also of the false kindness which sometimes induces people to keep the knowledge of their condition from dying persons and de- priving them of the sacraments and the ministrations of a priest, and urged them not to be so foolish in their kind ness
 In closing he said: Life is at the most uncertain. The time thereof is unknown to us, and is known only to God. Perhaps this very day, or month, may see you gathered to your fathers. You also may be afflicted, but be com- forted with the thought that it may be a mears by which you may eXpiate your sins and be restored to Gods love. And if one of your family be afflicted be kind and have them take the sacra- ments that they may be comforted. Remember that Jesus is the same to- day as always. He is the same physi- elan who will cure your soul of mani- fold ills. In every moment of your af fiction he is kindly disposed toward you"

YALE VICTORIOUS.

In rather closely contested game at Newton, Mass, Saturday afternoon the Yale university team was victorious over the Newton Athletic club eleven by the score of to O. The smallness of the score was rather surprising to the Yale adherents. The Newton team is however, one of the strongest in this part of the country and it is considered by many that the Yale team did re- markably well to keep their opponents from scoring.
 An excellent banquet and enjoyable reception was rendered the team and substitutes after the game.

 The races were quite good and inter ested the large crowd present, E. C. Hausman attempted to break the hour record of tWenty-n1ne mics, but he was badly handicapped by slow track, strong wind and poor pacemakers. He, however, rode twenty-six and one-halt miles, which is remarkably good con- sidering the conditions.
