1t might not be a,niSs for those
who are demanding an extra session
of the fifty-sixth congress at the
earliest practicable date for the pur.
pose of passing u currency reform
measure, to give the situation u
careful review in order to determine
two things: % Whether or not they
Che republicans have the votes-a
ma jorlry in both houses-requisite
for the passage of a bill satisfactory
to the friends Of sound money; and
(2) having the requisite number Of
votes in Il combination of gold stan

through without incu~riny a great
risk Of so seriously u%enioraliziny the
sound money forces as to render the
outcome OF The campaign of 1900 ex-
t~relnelv doubtful?
We do not believe there is suffi-
cient vitality in the free coinage
Issue to warrant the least hope or
fear Of the defeat of the gold forces
in another battle uf the standards,
but it seems to us quite possible
to re ~inrorcA the free coinage com

a good many voters who would cut
loose from the republican party if
the issue we're forced on them.
The currency reform for which an
extra session is demanded contem.

which could not safely have been
urged by tire republican candidate

there would be strong and persls-
tent opposition to their retirement.
Whether logical or illogical, sound or
unsound, such opposition exists in
the Republican purity, in the citldel
Of sound money. Sentiment is a
power that has to be rcckOned with
in politics. 1t does not consent to

Countless homes in every city in
America have been saved from the
sad loss of some despairing member
by Paine's celery compound.
The story of the Network of the
discoverer of this world famed reme-
dy is familiar to most readers. The
likeness of Dartmouth's greatest pro-
~fessor, Prof. Edward e. Phelps, M. D.,
IL. D., given above, is the best por-
trait of him yet printed.
"Excepting its handful Of mag
nificent statesmen and its military
heroes,n says the most recent writer
upon and critic of America, "the PEG.
pie owe most to Dartmouth's physi-
eian-teacher than to any other one
man.
sin every walk of life, among the
highest Office holders at the national
capital, n the homes of the best peo-
pie in the large cities, among the
every day folks of the country, fami-
lies in comfortable circumstances,
families that five from hand to
mouth and could not, II they wished,
afford the services of any but an ordi-
nary physician-everywhere I have
met people to whom Paine's celery
compound has been q blessing"
1t was the world famed discovery
by Prof. Phelps of an infallible cure
for those fearful ills that result from
an impaired nervous system and inn
pure blood which has endeared the
great doctor to the world, and made
his life an era In the practice of medi-
cine.
Prof. Phelps was born in Connecti-
cut and graduated in medicine at
Yale.

Mrs. Mary Clark, of this city, was
to-day advised of the death of her
niece, Mrs. Belle Dulaney, which CO.
CURED Wednesday at q hospital In
Jacksonville, ILL.,, where an operation
was performed on Mrs. Dulaney, who
had been ill for some time. The re-
mains were inferred at st. Louis
the funeral taking place from the
residence of A. @. Cassidy, an uncle
OF deceased.
Mrs. Dulaney was q former resi-
dent of this city and was the daughter
of the late John G.. Muldrow. In
early life she was married to "Dode''
White, a brother of w. 81. White, now
in the Kiondyke country. After the
death of her husband, Mrs. White be-
came the wife of William Duianey
and moved to Chaplin, ILL., at which
place the couple resided for many
years. Deceased was known here "a

His unusual talent soon brought him
reputation and prominence among his
professional brethren. First he was
elected to the professorship OF anato-
my and surgery in the Vermont Uni
versity. Next he was appointed lect-
urer on materia medica and medical
botany in Dartmouth College. The
next year he was chosen professor Of
the chair then vacated by Prof. hobby,
and occupied the chair, the most i'm
portant one in the country, at the
time when he first formulated his
most remarkable prescription.
Prof. Phelps has given to his profess
zion in Paine's celery compound a
positive cur for sleeplessness, vast
ing strength, dyspepsia, billousness,
liver complaint, neuralgia, rheuma-
tism, all nervous diseases and kidney
troubles. 1t is the only specific rec
ognized and prescribed to-day by the
best physicians for diseases arising
from q debilitated nervous system.
For such complaints Paine's celery
compound succeeds again and again
where everything else fails.
No remedy was eve SO highly
recommended, because none ever ac-
complishes SO much.
Paine's celery compound stands
without competition for feeding ex-
hausted srves and building mp the
strength of the body. It cures radi-
cally and permanently. A healthy
increase in appetite and a correspond
ing gain in weight and good spirits
follow the use of Paine's celery COM
pound. 1t is the most remarkable
medical achievement of this last half
of the nineteenth century.

How the venetians Talk Fish.

The streets of Burano are hordered
with massively built arcades, under the
shade of which women knit and spin
and men wrangle in loud voices in a
dialect from which all consonants seem
to have been dropped. The same endless
argument concerning fish is forever in
progress at Chioggia. I never could
learn precisely the nature of this argu-
ment, but I am inclined to think that it
has its origin in the ~oongenital inability
Of a fisherman to tell the truth as 10 the
fish caught or lost by him. I have never
yet seen a Chiog9ian who was not just
on the point of shaking the dust of the
town from his bare feet and going on
board his fishing boat as the only refuge
from the ~unspeakable mendacity and
general villainy of his increduIous fell
low townsmen, or who had rot just
landed from a fishing excursion and was
In the act of taunting the rest of the
world with its inability to rival him
as a piscatorial liar.
The people Of Venice affect to believe
that the men of Chioggia are even more
| dangerous and quarrelsome than those OF
Burano, but I have always found both
| Chioggians and Buranese peaceful and
| inoffensive folk, and the dislike which
| the venetians have for them is doubtless
due to their superior powers of argu-
ment in regard to fish.-Cassel1's Maya.

THE MEXICO STREET FAIR.
Was q Big Success-Some Of the Dis
plays on Exhibition, Etc.

from the montgomery 6tanudfu.
Mexico held her Street Fair last
week. 1t had been advertised for two
days, Wednesday and Thursday. Booths
consisting of rough lumber and COW
cred with ordinary muslin were erected
all around the square. In them we're
the products of the farmers. At
least three wagon loads OF corn were
exhibited and some as good corn, per-
hsps, rs Saline or st. Charles ever
grew was to be seen. There were
about 200 entries and on the side
where the corn was displayed 1t did
look Like s'corn IL king"
Among the many attractions was a
relic booth under the supervision of
James O. Ringo. The matter was put
into his hands Friday before and on
Wednesday he had q collection Of
relics and curiosities that would have
graced such q stand at the Worlds
Fair. There rel two old rifles, q
160 and the other 125 years old; an
opium pipe said to be 800 years old, q
Bible 800 years old, q pair of Mexican
silver spurs captured in the Mexican
war, O silver watch rs years old and
two gold watches owe 100 years old,
all Of which were still keeping correct
time. There was a cannon ball Gen.
Grant used for target practice long
before the OWL War, q bombshell
picked up on the battle-ground at
Chickamauga, q tin violin of late con-
s~truction and q whole lot of other
things. Mr. Ringo said to the inter-
ested crowds, and there was always q
crowd around his booth, "wait till
next year and In have something to
show you"
Bob White, of the LEDGER, with his
characteristic enterprise, offered the
Daily LEDGER for q year to the best
looking young lady attending the first
day. Miss Anna Sue Batterton, of
near Sturgeon, who has visited Mrs.
Mabel Kemper, OF this place, several
times, was awarded this prize. Mr.
White also offered a silver cup for the
best looking baby the second day,
and there were some 75 babies looking
for that cup. 1t Is not known when
Bob will run ont of silver cups.
The expenses and some of the prizes
were paid by contributions from the
people in town generally, the bust
ness men contributing most literally,
of course.
