A Wounded BE

now has wide practice, Is a member Of
Hatch Post, G. A. R., and lives at 1885 Ash
land Ave.
Several years ago DIR. Clark's old wounds
began to trouble him. He grew weak and
emaciated, and his friends despaired of his
life. He finally recovered sufficiently to be
out but was mere shadow, weighing only
80 pounds. The best medical attendance
failed to restore his lost strength aud vigor.
IA friend gave me box of DR.. Williams
Pink Pills for Pale People" said Dr.. Clark,
"and they helped me so much that bought
half dozen boxes and took them. soon
regained my strength, now weigh 100
pounds and, except for injuries that can
never be remedied, am as well as ever. :
II consider Dr.. Williams Pink Pills for
Pale People the best remedy to build up q
run down system, and heartily recommend
them to everyone in heed Of such aid"

History OF. the Wedding Ring

A long time ago the wedding ring was
worn on the foreflnger, and was thickly
studded with precious stones. Pso-
pie who have seen the old pictures Of
the Madonna In Rome win remember
that in one or two Of them there is a
glistening ring on the forefnger of her
right hand, but with Christianity came
the wearing of tho wedding ring on the
third finger rather than the first. The
old story Of there being vein that runs
from that finger to the heart IS nom
sense. It's use originated In this way;
The priest first put 1t on the thumb,
saying: "In the name of the Father"
on the forefinger, adding. I'm the name
of tho Son." on the second finger, re-
peating, 'In the name of the Holy
Ghost" and on the third finger, ending
with "Amen." and there it stayed.-Sat-
urday Evening Post.

Girls in Sicily.

In some parts of Sicily the birth OF a
girl is looked upon as such misfortune
that black flag is hung out Of the
window to proclaim the sad event.
Having to be supported by the family
as long, as they are unmarried, and be-
ing obliged to dover the bridegroom,
girls are looked upon as expensive
luxuries. Boys, on the other hand, are
very soon self-supporting, and when
the time comes for marrying increase
the family wealth by bringing home a
bride and her dot. The girls live In
seclusion, are most kindly treated, and
at the age Of fourteen or sixteen they
nre disposed of In marriage on purely
financial basis.

Turquoise and SapDhire.

Someone has recently sent an inquiry
In reference to the turquoise and the
sapphire, knowing only that both were
blue gems, but unable to state the diff
ference between them. The sapphire Is
a transparent gem. like the ruby, topaz
and others. 1t Is blue, and next in hard
ness to the diamond. The, sapphire Is
pure crystaliZed alumina. The tur-
quoise is hydrated phosphate Of alu-
nina. 1t Is also blue, like a piece Of
sky. but is Opaque, and comes mainly
from the mountains of Persia. That
indefnable property, like the water"
of diamond, or the luster of pearl, Is
In turquoise called the Eat. In the
middle ages many superstitions We're
attached to It, and virtues ascribed to

TRIED TO SINK A SHIP.
Narrow Escape of Passengers Bound
for Alaska.

San Francisco. Sept. l9.-News has
been received here of dastardly at
tempt to sink the whaling bark North
ern Light, which sailed from here in la t
May tor hotZebue sound. The bark
had been transformed into a passenger
vessel and sne took l52 men bound for
the mythical land of gold. The vessel
was commanded by Captain Whiteslde.
On May AZ. when only few days out,
it was discovered that the Northern
Light was aking water at rapid rate.
The pumps were manned, but the wa
ter still came up rapidly. A search was
instituted and the leak was located in
the bow. Further search showed that
four auger holes had been bored through
the timbers, going clear through the side
to the water. Three of the holes were
plugged up but it was impossible to
reach the fourth. The pumps had been
going until kotzebue sound was reached
Captain Porter of the Jessie Freeman
who returned from the north yesterday
says that the prospectors at kotzebue
have gone to poor fields. As far as :,
known no gold has been found.

Naples, Sept. ia state of gloomy
apprehension prevails among the popula-
ton regarding the eruption of Vesuvius,
which is hourly becoming more active
and menacing. Streams of lava are
Spreading in every direction The most
threatening of these flows through the
Vedrino valley, which is almost filled.
The observatory, which originally stood
at height of 6l0 metres, is now only
q metres above the sea level, owing to
the sinking OF the ground. Seven new
craters have formed around the central
one, and this has not tended to diminish
the fears formerly felt which We're based
upon the eruption of stones and scoria
similar to that which occurred in 1892.

jim HILL TAKES A NEW ROAD
has Put the baltimore 4 Ohio Int,
His Collection,

lineage, Sept l9.-The Times Herald
says:
Philip D. Armour, Marshall Field and
Norman b. Ream have secured control of
the Baltimore 4 Ohio railroad, They
have made James j. Hill, president Of
the Great Northern railroad, the domi-
mating factor in the reorganization of
the system and have gained for Chicago
ana the northwest what is practically
trunk line from ocean to ocean. CON
trolled by Chicago capital.
MIR. Ream engineered the deal by
which his wealth, that of Mr.. Hill and
OF Messrs. Armour and Field gained a
controlling interest in the Baltimore &
Ohio, which henceforth is to be Chi
cage enterprise, fed and sustained in
transcontinental affairs by the immense
lineage OF the Great Northern railroad.
If any road completes the gap between
the terminus of the Great Northern rail-
road in st. Paul and the terminus of the
Baltimore & Ohio in Chicago, it will be
the Chicago Great Western road, but
eii"t 40 q llidtlti loI Tic luluIe.
Mr.. Ream will become member of
,ne executive committee of the reorgan-
lied road and either Mr.. Field or Mr.. Ar
molr may become a director, although in
all probability the trio will be represent
ed by Mr.. keam.
Mr. Hills connection with the transac-
ton foreshadows the statement that he
will be the prime factor of the road
While the price paid by the Chicago
men is not known the details of the
transfer of the properties of the road are
being discussed at a conference held in
the Auditorium annex. At this confer
ence President Hill, Mr.. Ream, John X.
Cowen, president of the Baltimore &
Ohio, and Oscar Murray, receiver. and
William Greene. general manager of the
road, were present.
Mr. Ream declined to be interviewed,
but one of the Baltimore & Ohio officials
confirmed the report current in Wall
street Thursday and in Chicago railroad
circles that in addition to the holdings
of the road W hich the Rockefeners' inter-
ests are reported to have secured last
week for western hackers of the road,
Messrs. Field, Armour and Ream had Sc
cured sufficient reorganization stock to
make Chicago and the west the dominant
element in the future management of
the road.
President Cowen was not prepared to
make Il full statement until after he had
consulted with Mr.. Ream.
President Hill was in jubilant frame
of mind and would not deny that Field,
Armour and Ream had assisted him in
almost realizing his dream of having a
road from the Pacific to the Atlantic
controlled by western men.

Washington, Sept. ls.-Captain Allyn
Capron, of the First artillery, died at his
home near Fort AIyer, Va, today. Cap
tain Capron was one OF the best known
officers in the regular army. He had de-
voted himself particularly to the artil-

an honor graduate OF the artillery school
in 1873 and was regarded as an authority
on artillery tactics. When General Shaft

companied it and his battery did notably
fine work in the battle of Santiago. Dur
ing the first days fighting before the city
Captain Capron's son, Captain Allyn X.
Capron of the Rough Riders, was killed.
The death of his son preyed upon the
fathers mind, but he never sweryed for
an instant from his duty during the ter
rible days that followed. The seeds of
disease were sown in his system during
the Cuban campaign and he returned to
his home at Fort Myer, near this city.
only to be stricken down with typhoid
fever. His death occurred about II o'clock
today.
