Twain anh the other Man.

Az GIAfSas
New York Sun: During Mark
TWain's stay In Vienna this winter
the newspapers have devoted a great
deal OF attention to him. One of his
latest sayings quoted refers to a cable
dispatch he received from America
asking if the rumors of his death was
true.
News Of my fdeath greatly exagger-
slted" was the answer Mark Twain sent
back to his own country,
So many rumors concerning his af-
ia1rs have been spread about that he
has written the following to a friend
in Hartford:
"lRumors about my unimportant self
are easily circulated. 1t was reported
that \ was seriously sick-that was
some other man; then it was that 1
was about to die-again another man;
tnen 1T wa that I was d~ead-nnother
man again. Then the was that
l had inherited a legacy-it was an
Gtner man; h came the report that
! q paid all my debts-once more
another man. Now the rumor is that
I am writing another book. l know
nothing Of it. It would, indeed, sur
prise me"if l should publish another
DOCK for the next three years. The
only thing that is left for them to say
is that l have emigrated permanently
and become an Austrian. That last is
one thing I will never, never do. l do
not want to increase the confusion OF
languages any more"
Mark Twain's new book is shortly
TO be translated into German.

a Vegetarian Church

London Evening News: There is a
vegetarian church in Stafford of which
for the past eighty years 40 person
could be a member unless he or she
nbstained from animal food and intox-
icating drinks. Many of the members
also belong to the Peace society. The
late Joseph Brothcrton, who was mem
Der of parliament for Stafford for about
twenty years, was a member of this
vegetarian church, and used to preach
when not in London. There was also
a vegetarian church in Manchester,
conducted by DR.. Schofield for about
forty years, but at his death no sue
cessor could be found and it was closed
Oh that account and many of the mem
bers joined the church in Stafford. The
first member was Nj. Coward, a mem
Der of the Church of England, and
master of Selby Grammar school.

Philadelphia Record: A German
firm has started the manufac-
tnre of artificial asphalt made from
coal tar, sulphur, chloride of lime and
blast furnace Stag compressed into
sheets ten inches, five inshes and two
inches thick. This is accomplished by
great hydraulic pressure. The product
from recent tests appears as a substi-
tute for natural asphalt for street
paving to have many points of SUI
periority. if it can be produced as
cheaply. At ordinary temperature
the artificial product withstands a
pressure twice as great as the natural
substance, and at higher temperature
its resisting power to compression is
also greater.

recommended DR.. Williams Pink Pills
for Pale People. and from the first box
he began to improve. When he had
taken nine boxes he was completely cured.
This famous blood and nerve medicine
accomplished what former expensive
treatment failed to do. Mr.. Kemper says
his catarrh has entirely left him; he is
strong again and weighs nine pounds
more than he ever did. He gives the pills
the entire credit. He is starting teaching
again and feels abundantly able to con-
tinue the work. To prove that the above
is true Mr.. Kemper's affidavit follows:

A Convenient Custom.

London Evening News: In Holland
bills are often paid through the medi-
UNI Of the post Office. 1t enables a man
living, say in Rotterdam. to get a small
bill collected in any provincial town
without the often expensive and te-
dious interference of n banker or
agent. For that purpose he hands his
bill to the nearest postoffice. 1t is
sent to the place where the money is to
be collected. After the collection a
draft is forwarded to the payee by the
office where he deposited the bill and
where he gets his cash and the bill
duly receipted on payment of u small
commission, which is payable in adj
vance.

There is more catarrh In this section of
the country than all other diseases put to-
gether, and until the last few years was
supposed to be incurable. For a great
many years doctors pronounced 1t a local
disease, and prescribed local remedies,
and by constantly failing to cure with
local treatment, pronounced it incurable.
Science has proved catarrh to be a consti-
tutional disease, and therefore requires
constitutional treatment. Halls Catarrh

Lowest Price for Wine.

A dispatch from Stockton, Cal, says:
The wine growers of this state have a
very serious proposition staring them.
in the face, according to Charles A.
Wetmore, the prominent wine man of
Stockton, who has just returned from
San Francisco, with the information
that a sale of 100000 gallons of wine
has just been made by the Anglo-Cali-
fornian bank to the California Wine
association.
The price paid for the bulk of the lot
was 8 cents, and the balance, including
the choicest dry wines and about 1O,-
600 gallons of port, was sacrificed at Q
cents q gallon. The 8 cent price rep
resents q valuation on ordinary wines
ready for shipment, which would be
equivalent to not more than 6 cents for
similar old wines in country cellars,
and, d%educting the cost of detention,
racking and clarifying, it would rep
resent q valuation for similar new
wines in the country of not exceeding
or 4 cents.
Many dealers have anticipated a
break in prices and have kept out of
the market, hoping to secure wines at
almost their own figure. The result is
that there is no sale for q large guam
tity at any price. With millions of
dollars invested in the wine business
in the state, the producers are in a
most peculiar position Mt present, and
if they do not succeed in checking the
cut rates, Mr.. Wetmore declares they
will have to go out of business.

Tins for Letters Friends.

A dispatch from Chicago says: John A.
Logan. jr.. has been specializing in
wheat on the advice of his friend Joseph
Letter, and has over Sl00. 900 ito the good"
in consequence.
Mr.. Letter and Mr.. Logan were thrown
together a great deal at the recent horse
show and became great friends. Then Mr..
Letter gave Mr.. Logan a friendly tip on
wheat, which the latter used to good ad-
vantage.
Unlike Mr.. Letter, Mr.. Logan sold out
when the price was high. n now he has
money. In the bank instead of in wheat.
but 1t is said he has gone into the market
again and holds out half a million bushels
bought at a lower price than now prevails
on the board.
Mr.. Letter has told him that wheat will
yet sell at 81. % Il bushel. And Mr.. Logan
believes 1t. He says he is holding 1t fer
that price anyway. Mr.. Letter is gener-
GUS and Mr.. Logan is not the only one he
has helped to fortune by giving tips on the
market hen the price was low.

In addition to his studies, Mr.. Kemper
