PERILS OF AFFECTION.
Few People Realize How Exhausting
the Tender Sentiment Is-A Ply
sicians Good Advice

There is no way by which people ex-
haust themselves or kill themselves, so
quickly as by exercising the affections"
This striking remark was made by
one of the best physicians in America.
He was a man who had studied deeply,
observed keenly, and knew men and
women thoroughly. Continuing, he said:
Sentiment IS a grand, lovely
thing, and the world cannot live with
out it, but the exercise of the senti-
ments invariably exhausts. People may
not feel it, but it is true nevertheless.
A man or a woman wears out, breaks
down, and then wonders at the cause.
There should be no occasion for wonder.
1 have explained the cause"
IF the 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 solemn facts
You ask me what I would do he
continued. Il answer: Begin to feed
these forces; feed them cOnstantly;fee
them with the best and most scientific
discovery you can secure. If you ask
me what is the best, l unheSitatingly
say it is that grand preparation which
has been so long before the people and
is so popular, Warmers Safe Cure.
know that it possesses powers known to
no other discovery, and I know that
thousands of men and women cannot
live without it today. If you will stop
and think, or ask your friends, you will
see that what I say is correct, and be-
leve be led to try it at once if you have
not already done So
These facts stated by the doctor and
the advice he gives are sound. 1t is
absolutely true that many men and wO-
men 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.

PRoPosED oURRENoY BILL.

A bill for the reform of the currency
has been agreed upon by the Repubh-
can members of the house committee on
banking and currency. Democrats, Of
course. have nothing to say.
The bill, as completed, bears evidence
of having been based on the recommen-
dations of the president, Secretary
Gage and the Indianapolis monetary
commission. These the committee has
attempted to blend and harmonize as
much as may be. keeping in view the
main feature of the proposed reform,
which is to more firmly establish the
gold standard.
Incidental to this purpose there is in
the measure a provision for the retire
ment of the greenbacks, which it is ex-
pected to accomplish without lessening
the volume of the cOuntry's money.
The retirement of the greenbacks has
been strongly urged by many men
prominent in business and financial cir
cles, provided that some way could be
found for accomplishing it without con
tracing the currency. This the commit
tee clearly believes it has made possible
by its bill.
The principal reason which has been
urged for the cancellation Of the green
backs is the fact that they form a con-
Meeting link in what has been called an
endless chain" which has been utilized
to deplete the treasury of its gold hold
ings. If this be the true reason for
wishing to withdraw the greenbacks
from circulation, it seems remarkable
that the committee should forge another
link to take the place Of the one thus
removed. Yet that is what has been
done.
The bill provides that silver dollars
shall be redeemable in gold. The num-
Der of silver dollars in the country is
much greater than the number of
greenback dollars, and they constitute
therefore a more powerful agency for
Withdrawing gold.
These silver dollars are largely in the
form of certificates. Here then is the
endless chain: Silver certificates are
presented for redemption; they are re-
deemed in silver dollars, which in turn
are presented for redemption in gold.
OF course no secretary of the treasury
would put gentlemen to so much trou-
bic, so the gold would be paid for the
silver certificate directly.
1t is improbable that the committee
expects this bill to become a law during
the present session of congress. 1t can
be discussed before the people during
the approaching campaign, and if the
people approve it by indorsing it at the
polls, the party responsible for it will
be ready for action early in the next
session.

YOUNG BOY SPECULATOR.
Gives Joseph Letter 800 for Use in
the Wheat Deal

Chicago, March 24.-Joseph Letter has
a new ally in his plan to buy all the
wheat in the world. His name is Fran
els Wells van Praag. He sent along
most of his money to add to Letters
millions on the other side. 1t has been
variously estimated over the world that
Mr.. Letter had all the way from 5,OOO,-
600 to $4,000, 600 to stake on his game.
The sums, big or little, could not be
written yesterday in round numbers.
They ran from $5,000,10 100 to $25, ,0O0, 100.
The would be ally is a. New York boy,
who says he is IA years old. He saved
$100 from his allowance, and was con-
Vinced that he was doing right in COM
ing to the rescue of Mr.. Letter, against
whom he thinks all the brokers and
millers are conspiring. He sent a letter
to Mr. Letter, pinning carefully to the
first page a clean, new, crisp 800 bill
1t was the tone of the letter that
pleased Mr.. Letter. 1t was San1y. The
boy, after telling how he had learned of
the big fight going on, confessed that he
thought it was shame that everybody
was trying to break the big wheat bull.
He then took Mr. Letter into his conf
dence by assuring him that-in keeping
with the theory of the good plunger-
he could afford to lose the cash.
There was no request that the 800
be invested on the right side-like most
of the requests Mr.. Letter has received
but a plain willingness to go into the
market as any good broker should
ready to lose as gracefully as to win.
The lad assured his partner that he
might not think 500 very much, and
drew a parallel from the fact that many
times he himself could have used a
nickel despite the fact he had a dollar
in his pocket.
The Investment lost, the boy expected
nothing. The investment good, the boy
suggested that his profits might be re-
mitted.
'There's a boy that is going to sue
ceed" said Mr.. Letter as he showed
the 500 bill to Mr.. French and party
of brokers. That's the sort of nerve
that wins It is the best letter in all
the basketfuls that have come to me-
1t sounds like business 1t is the only
one to which I have given more than
passing notice, largely because there
have been so many that it would take
one mans time to answer them"
1t was fished out later in the day,
pinned to a letterhead and returned to
the boy-with a companion, which was
better by a hundredfold than usurer' $
interest for the time it had been at the
disposal of Mr.. Letter.

SLOWLY GOING MAD.
Awful Fate of Little Pittsburg Boy
Bitten by q Rabid Dog.

Pittsburg Tribune: There is one very
sad home near Loan Oak, west of this
city, that of Mr.. and Mrs. Burns, par
ents of Charlie Burns, aged about II
years, who was bitten by the mad and
worthless canine which passed through
here about six weeks ago The boy
had to wait at Rev F. NJ. Symmes' for
the use of the mad stone after being
bitten and it was six days before he got
through with the stone from the time
he was charged upon by the dog. The
stone adhered 40 hours, but it was
feared that much poison had located
itself permanently in the child. He is
now wild almost and on Monday night
nearly went into spasms while trying
to drink water. He says the water cuts
off his wind, and he is at once afraid
of choking. During the night he drank
a little coffee, but starts up with a
wild, frightened look, and is afraid of
everything. In his more quiet moments
he asks his parents in pleading tones,
Am I going to die?" and he repeats
the question to his physician.

TO HARRISON'S MEMORY.
Citizens of Chicago Will Erect a $50,
900 Monument Over Their
Dead Mayor

Chicago, March A-The movement to
suitably recognize the late Carter H Har-
risOn's long and honorable service as Chi
cagO'S chief magistrate by the erection OF
to his memory, although of such recent
inception, has already made such prog
ress that no doubt of its success is enter
tanned.
No monument has ever been erected by
public action to a mayor Of any western
ed his own nonolith in Rose Hill ceme-
terry. In the long list of distinguished
citizens who have wOrthily filled Chicago 5
civic chair not one has yet been honored
by a public memorial. Among them al
there was none more worthy Of such dis
tinction than the late Carter H. Harrison,
five times elected mayor of the great
western metropolis, twice one of its rep
resentatives in congress, and at all times
foremost in every effort for the develop
ment and advancement of the city he
loved so we'll Struck down in the height
of his fame by a base assassin, he died
as truly at the post of duty as did ever
soldier in the battle line. In hOnoring
him Chicago will honor itself, for no more
typical representative of the forces that
have made our city what it is today could
well be found than he. Inc memorial
soon to rise in his honor will stand for
ever as a token of his great services to
the city of his adoption and love
1t is proposed to raise by SUBSCRIPTION
the sum of at least $4,000 to erect an
suitable location, and to maintain it in
perpetuity Many of those interested in
the movement believe that a much larger
amount possibly 800, 600. may easily be Sc
cured. Certainly if all of Carter Harm
sons friends and admirers, not only in
Chicago but in other cities, contribute
each one dollar, the total subscription viii
far exceed even the larger sum named.

The st. Louis Westliche Post is the
leading German daily of the Mississippi
valley, and one of the few great Ger
man newspapers in the United States.
Established in 1857, it soon passed in
to the hands of DR.. Emil Preetorius and
the Hon. Carl Schurz. For 40 years the
Westliche Post has shown the most eff
feetive devotion to honorable and pro-
gressive ideas.
Edward Preetorius, business manager
and treasurer, is a man of distinction
throughout the southwest and is
known to many thousands in other por-
tions of the country for his broad bust
ness methods, and for the commanding
influence of his journal in national
state and city politics.
Mr.. PreetOrius is an indefatigable
worker. Subjected by his profession to
unusual business cares, Overwork and
sudden demands upon his nervous
strength, his personal experience and
his estimate of Paine's celery compound
must have exceptional weight, especial
ly with brain workers, and men and
women whose nerves are necessarily
called on, as if they were of iron and
steel, and not the most sensitive parts
of the body.

DIAMOND, DEAD ELEPHANT
Made His Last Fight in Indiana, and
His Hide is on the Way to
New York

Peru, Ind, March 24.-Diamond, the Sec
ond largest elephant in the world. is dead.
He was a circus elephant and was valued
so. 900.
When the fact was really established
that Diamond was dead a telegram was
sent to Mr.. E. B. Wallace in Chicago, no
tfying him of his big loss. Mr.. Wallace
Diamond, and the gentleman bought the
carcas of the dead elephant for 800. after
a dicker of five minutes. The Chicago
man made a pretty good investment, for
he sold the skin, skeleton and tusks of
the dead elephant within two hours to a
leather manufacturer in New York for
500. The deal was closed by wire today
and the skull and tusks, the latter three
and one-half feet long, and hide were
shipped to New York. The hide filled a
china hogshead.
Diamond was II feet 4 inches high; the
hide was p feet s inches wide It is es-
timated that the hide will make $50 bags
from $12 to $50 each.

The relative merit and efficiency of
Paine's celery compound, in comparison
with all other remedies for making peo-
pie well, is clearly shown in the inteli-
gent character and responsible standing
of the people who today rely on it to
cure insomnia, nervous debility, persist
ent headaches and a rundown condi-
ton.
Its power Of rapidly repairing the It's
sues and cleansing the blood makes
Paine's celery compound the great saw
needed nutriment to the weakened
creases the volume of healthy blood, so
is averted..
The story of the discovery and unpar-
alleled success of Paine's celery COM
pound is the story of a high purpose
steadfastly followed, the final work Of
the lifelong study of the nervous sys-
tenn in health and disease by Prof Ed
ward E. Phelps, NJ. d, LII D., OF the
DartsmOuth medical faculty.
In this greatest of all remedies thereis

Planting of Crustaceans by the Gov

Monterey, March 24.-Eight years ago

planted Holsters in Monterey Bay, but
the experiment was considered a fail

crease in the lobsters, but they abso-

Last week, however, some Monterey
fishermen found two large, healthy lob
sters on the rocks at the other side of
the bay, and it is now believed that the

where they were planted and will reap
pear in large numbers hereafter. If
more are seen the local fishermen will

were discovered.
