PREDICTS ALLIANCE.
Walter Besant Thinks It is the Only
Safe Method.

New York. July 13.-A special cable
to the World says:
Sir Walter Besant, In an interview on
the subject of an Anglo-American alIi-
ance, says:
THE alliance must come sooner or
later, for it will be a question of the
very existence of both England and
America.
4 am convinced that if it doesn't
come the powers will combine, first
against us, then against America. With
Eng1and's fleet destroyed and England
out of the way the powers could pour
millions of soldiers into America. For
her own safety, therefore, America
sooner or later, will agree with us.
mo other nation, no combination Of
nations, would dare to attack that al
lance while it lasted-and there is no
reason why it should not endure for
centuries.
''AIl we desire as free men and educa-
ted people would be within our grasp;
everything worth having would be
ours.
1T is a dream which carries one
away. The prospect is so splendid that
it dazzles. Besides that alliance all 9TH
er nations, all other interests would be
dwarfed.
For the moment I believe it is
enough to advance the scheme to lay
it before the people. It must be cOnsid-
cred. The imagination of all must be
brought to consider it.
'"Once it is understood, we shall tram
pie on all minor difficulties and hasten
to make the alliance a thing accom-
pliShed."

RAILROAD NEWS.
Santa Fe Prosperity Produces
a Dividend.
High Compliment to the New
Management.
DIRECTORS DIVIDED.
Some Suggest Retaining Money
For the Future.
Rock Island Trainmen Battle
With Tramps.

The Santa Fe company can this year
pay a dividend of one-fourth per cent on
the preferred stock if the board of direct
ors sees fit to order it. The preferred
stock amounts to $131 486, 900.
This is the first time in number Of
years that the Santa Fe has been in shape
to pay a dividend. If the dividend was
declared it would be a great boom for
the road
The board of directors is divided. how
ever, on the question of declaring a divi-
dend. Some believe that from pros
perity standpoint it would be the wise
thing to do, while others are in favor of
reserving the money in case it was need
ed to pay adjustment bonds next year.
They also reason that if next year there
was a falling off in business and the
company was unable to declare another
dividend, the payment of a dividend this
year would tend to injure the company.
There was a time in the history of the
Santa F'e when money was borrowed to
pay dividends. There was a time not
long after that when the Santa Fe went
into the hands of receivers. This year
the dividend has been earned by business
management, which will insure prosper
ity to the road as long IS it is continued.

A NEW COUNTERFEIT.
It is a.:Ten-DolIar Legal Tender Note,
Series of 1880.

Washington, July 13.-The treasury
department has received information
that a new counterfeit has made its ap-
pearance. 1t is of the $40 legal tender
note, of the series of 1880, check letter
c. plate number s; J. FOunt Tillman,
register; d. n. Morgan, treasurer: small
scalloped carnine seal, portrait of Web
Ster.
1t is apparently printed from photo
mechanical plates, more than Ordinar
lily well executed, on two pieces of pa
per pasted together, between which silk
threads have been distributed. The
numbering of the note at hand is of
fairly good color, but out of alignment,
and the figures poorly formed. The
white outlines of the photographed or
iginaI numbers can be discerned be-
meath the counterfeit. The seal is too
dark, being red instead of light car
mine. The back of the note has good
general appearance, but much of the
lathe work is blurred and indistinct.
The silk threads used are too heavy,
and not we'll distributed. This counter
felt is well calculated to deceive persons
not expert. No attempt has been made
to doctor or give the note the appear
ance of age.

John Morrow's Great Discovery Wins
Warm Words from Kidney Suffer
ers. An Aid to the Treat
ment

A chain is no stronger than its weak
est link, and upon the same principle
the human body is no stronger than it's
weakest organ. When the organ ceases
to perform its functions healthfully the
whole system is made to feel the effects
of disease.
The various organs are cooperative,
so that in order to restore health in one
part it is often necessary to achieve
that result by a medicine applied to an
other part. For the long list of kidney
troubles brought on mankind by care
lessness and indiscretions of modern
living, the best remedy yet discovered
is Morrow's Kidneoids-those small,
yellow tablets-thet secret Of making
which was discovered by John Morrow,
the noted American chemist.
But to gain the greatest. action on the
kidneys it is often necessary to tonic
the stomach and liver at the same time
the kidneys are treated, and for this
purpose Liverlax has been prepared.
Used either alone or with Kidneoids, its
action is perfect, restoring the tone Of
the stomach and bringing perfect nor
NAL action to the bowels.
Every day additional evidence is
voluntarily given of the wonderful cur
alive properties of these remedies.
Among these typical case is that OF
Miss Louise Bretzfelder, OF 173 East
Pleasant street, Springfield, Ohio. She
says:
For more than a year I have been
suffering from kidney trouble, which
gradually broke down my health until
I was scarcely able to perform my
household duties. 1 suffered terribly
from a severe and distressing pain in
my back, and at times I was unable to
get out of bed I tried different RENE
dies, but nothing seemed to relieve me.
I was urged to try a box OF MorroW'S
Kidneoids, and the results have been
wonderful I am entirely well and do
not experience the least pain, ana am
enjoying better health than for long
Morrow's Kidneoids are for sale at all
dealers. Price 50 cents a box, or six
boxes for 81 so. If not to be had at your
dealers. they will be sent postpaid upon
receipt of price by John Morrow & Co,
chemist, Bushne4- Building, Springfield,

Annette Railey, a Lexington Belle
Chooses Life of Self-Sacrifice.

Lexington, KY, July 13.--The news
that Miss Annette Railey, who left
home here two years ago and entered
Bellevue hospital, New York, has mar
ried DR.. G. Stewart Elliott of the ma
rine hospital corps and is now at Mo
bile, Ala, instead of in Cuba with the
Red Cross society, as her parents had
supposed her, excited much comment
here.
Mrs Elliott is the daughter Of Mr..
and Mrs. Charles Railey, and was
beautiful blue grass belle. She cared
little for society and when she was
ready for fashionable debut into Lex
ington society she chose the work Of
nurse instead and begged her father to
enter her at the New York hospital.
He did so. Five months ago he went
to New York and remained with her
two weeks. She told him she was go
ing to Cuba with Miss Clara BartOn's
nurses. Whether she wrote him that
she had started or not is not clear but
the next he. heard of her was that she
had married.
A letter a few days ago explained the
whole matter 1t came from Mobile,
Ala, and said that she was the wife of
DR.. Stewart Elliott, an attache Of the
marine hospital corps, that both she
and her husband would go to the front
at an early date. She would join the
Red Cross society, while her husband
entered on his duties on the hospital
