Having used three bottles OF p. P. p.
for impure blood and general weakness
and having derived great benefit from
the same, having gained IA pounds in
weight in four weeks, I take great
pleasure in recommending it to all I'M
fortunate like JOHN MORRIS.
Office of j. N. McElroy, Druggist,
Orlando, fla April 20, 1891.
Messrs. Lippman Bros, Savannah, Ga.
Dear Sirs:-I sold three bottles OF P.
p. p, large size, yesterday. and one
bottle small size today.
The P. P. P. cured my wife Of rheu-
matism winter before last. 1t came
back on her the past winter and a half
bottle, 81 size, relieved her again. and
she has not had a symptom since.
I sold a bottle Of P. P. P. to a friend
Of mine, n of the turkies, a small one,
took sick and his wife gave it a tea
spoonful, that was in the evening, and
the little fellow turned yer like he
was dead, but next morning he was
following and we'll.
Yours respectfully,
j. n. McELROY.

The death OF Judge Boykin was r
great shock to me-" said Solicitor Pou,
who came to Raleigh with the remains
Sunday. Il was with him nearly all
the day Friday just before his death
He was in fine spirits and we went to
the speaking at Peacock's Cross Road
together. He spoke for two hours. 1t
was a great speech-calm, ~dispassion-
ate, but very effective. He held the
crowd motionless in their seats almost
during his entire speech.
Just as he was concluding, he said:
My friends. / must apologize to you
for this effort. II Is the second political
speech / have attempted TO make in
fourteen years. but 1 beg to assure you
Ii will not be my last
Mr.. Harry Johnson. an old mar Just
so, was sitting near by and said: You
should not say that, Judge
Why said Judge BOyksn.
Because said Mr.. johnson, you
may die tomorrow
That is true my old friend said
h judge; but If I am to di. tomorrow
my love for my state is SO great that 1
must try n speak again today.
Little did the GROVE dream that the
speech they had just heard would be
the last to fall from the lips OF this
good man. He was al able and human
Judge. and the state sustains a great
loss in his death.
His fine Grafton, delivered as by one
who was performing an important
duty, made an impression on those
who heard Ii which will last for years
to come" 4

THE NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. ERS
Meeting of the Convention at CfncIn-
natl Many Differences Develop.
DOnnelly,s DenuncfatiOn of Senator
Butler.

Cincinnati, September 5.-The Ma
tional convention of the middle-of-the
road pOpulists was called to order to-
day at 1890 o'clock. During the fore
noon, the NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. were
in formal conference and exchanged
opinions enough tO indicate much diff
ference in their views as to whether
they should hold a nominating v
ton or merely a general conference.
In calling the convention to order J.
A. Parker, of Louisville, secretary of
the Reform Press Association, strongly
advocated Independent action by the
pOpulists, whether it is done at this
convention Of at some future time.
Ignatius DOnnelly was chosen tenn
pOrary chairman n made a radical
speech, ~denouncing General Wheeler
and all other leaders who had cooper
ated in fusion with the democrats. He
referred to Grover Cleveland as a trait
or to the democrat party, and Senator
Butler as a traitor to the pOpulist
party. He was especially severe in
denOuncing Senator Butler as a man
who reached an exalted position by
conniving with the republicans for his
election to the senate and now under
instructions from w. J. Bryan he is
conniving with the democrats. Mr..
Donnelly advocated a reorganization of
the populist party on the line of the
middle-Of-the-rOaders, as indicated in
their conference at Omaha last June,
and again at Nashville last July.

Deadham, Mass, September 5.-The
condition of Hon. Thomas F. Bayard
during the night was unchanged, but
this morning a slight improvement was
noticeable, and for the first time for
twenty-four hours he was able to re-
cognize h members of his family.
He was unconscious all day yesterday,
but az the air became cooler in the
early morning he revived somewhat
and returned to consciousness. The
physicians who are in constant atten-
dance, state that the heat has a very
weakening effect upon Mr.. Bayard and
that his condition u~ndergoes a rapid
change for the better as Don as the

5.-MajOr General John K. Brooke his
staff and escort, have completed two
thirds of their journey across the is

been like a march through a friendly

use of his private residence at Pie

The column, though small, is impos-

mountains, covered to their SUBMITS

Brooke with his staff, rode at it's head.

At Cayay and CaguaS, the Spanish

cavalry companies camped in the out

the Spanish soldiers. There was no
display whatever of ill feeling, Span

fraternizing and exchanging buttons as
souvenirs. Already many OF the
American soldiers are buttOnleSS.

THE FRENCH CRISIS.
Paris, September 5.-General Zurlin-
den, military governor of Paris, has
accepted the ministry of war in sue
cession to M. Cavaignac, resigned.
General Zurlinden was a member Of
the Ribot cabinet which went out Of
office October %, 1895.
The crisis in the cabinet is not yet
regarded as definitely settled. Both NJ.
Brisson n NJ. Ca~vaignac are believed
to be playing for the presidency Of the
republic and it is thought that Bris-
son is growing jealous of Cavaignac's
increasing popularity.
There is a rumOr tonight that Gen
eral Zurlenden, the new minister for
war, will advocate a mere annulling Of
the Dreyfus judgment and sentence as
a safer way out Of the imbroglio
than a retrial involving all sorts of
awkward revelations.

Madrid, September 5.-General Jau-
denes, ad interium governor of the

ty over the islands would require a
permanent army Of 60, 900 men, a feet

MEETING OF SPANISH CORTES.
The chambers assembled here today.
At the opening of the enate the sec
rotary read a letter from Senior Rod
rigueZ, senator from Porto Rico, re-
fusing to obey the summons to attend.
The premier, Senior Sagasta, array
ed in the insignia of his office, ascend
ed the tribune and read a decree, au-
thoriZing the government to present to
the chamber a draft of a law empOW-
ering the ministers to renOunce SOW
ereignty over the colonies, in conform
ity with the stipulations of the peace
preliminaries between Spain and the
United States.
The president of the senate proposed
a secret discussion of the decree, and,
despite the protests of some senator's,
ordered tina the galleries be cleared,
which was done, amid lOud murmurs Of
diSapprOVal.
The chamber soon became involved
in a discussion Of press censorship, and
a deputy inquired the motive underly-
irl, a circular which General Chinchil-
la, captain general Of Madrid, has ad-
dressed to regulating their
reports of the sessions Of the cOrteS.
He declared hat the censorship was
inconsistency applied and that the eff
feet of the circular was to punish pos
SibIe errors in advance.
Those who had expected sensational
were disappointed. The general public
are apparently convinced that Spain
States demands.
At the close of the censorship discus
sion, in which deputies who are jour
nalists protested emphatically against
the attitude of the government, Senior
Romero Y RObledO accused the govern
ment of illegality in continuing the
suspension of the constitutional guar
anteeS after the re-Opening Of the
cOrtes. He demanded Immediate de-
crees revOking the suspension.
Senior CapdepOn, the minister of the
interior, replied that the time was not
opportune to revoke the suspension n
reminded Senior Romero y Robledo that
a, former government, of which Senior
ROmer Y RObledO was a member, mad
acted in the same way in 1873.
n The chamber then adjourned.

POSTAL SAVINGS BANKS,

Senate Committee Discusses the Subject
but Takes No Final Action.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 27.-The senate
committee on postoffices and postroads
had under consideration the advisa bill
ity Of establishing postal savings banks
in the United States. The discussion
was general and the only conclusion
reached was that Senators Mason and
Butler should prepare the bill which
could be used as a base for future delib-
erations. This was done because Of the
fact that there were a large number of
measures before the committee, all
looking to the same end. It is intended
that the bill to be prepared by Messrs.
Mason and Butler shall supplant all
these and they were requested to have
in shape to be taken up at the next
meeting, to be held week hence.
