severe cold which developed chronic

One OF TWO WAYS.

The bladder was created for one pur-
pose, namely, a receptacle for the
urine. and as such it is not liable to
any form of disease except by one OF
two ways. The first way Is from i'm

ond way IS from careless local treat

is the discovery of a great physician, who knew all that the school and text books could teach him, but, more than that, he knew sick men and women, as few physi- clans in any age have known them. Prof. Edward P. Phelps, M. D., IL. D., of the Dartmouth medical school, was able to drive out disease from the system, because he knew where the disease was lodged and how to help the eXcretory organs, instead of confusing them as so many illogical remedies do in their efforts to cleanse the blood. Paine's celery compound encourages and strengthens the kidneys, and enablei them to cleanse the blood of its waste poisonous matters that are the direct cause of drowslness, listlessness, melanchola, blood diseases, wasting sicknesses, head aches and that general run down" condi- tion that opens the door to definite organic diseases of the heart, kidneys or stomach, especially when a person Is advanced in years and no longer possessed of the abundant energy that characterizes youth alone.
 Paine's celery compound makes the blood a bright red color, increases it's volume in the arteries and quickens its circulation, and enables @ nerve-tired person to sleep eight or nine hours at a stretch Every man or woman whose nervous strength is at all overtaxed, or whose life is a busy one in many directions, will feel the invig- orating, vitalzing effect of Paines celery compound, and see his or her health mend from the first use of the greatest of all known invigorators and remedies

THE PROSECUTION RESTS.
The Defense Will Now Have a Hand in the
 Carter Case.

Savannah, Ga., March 1s.-Col Thos. F. Barr, judge advocate, announced at the conclusion of todays proceedings in the Carter court martial that the prosecution would rest.
 This is the stage in the proceedings which the defense has been long awaiting. The prosecution began it's work on Jan. 12 and with today, has consumed just nine weeks and three days It had been expected by the defense that the prosecution would not conclude until tomorrow and for that req son .the defense will not be ready to pro- ceed until Monday at 10 o'clock.
 There were only two important witnesses before the court today. William M. Black, commissioner of the District of Columbia, formerly engineer officer in charge at St. Augustine, and Capt. F. V. Abbott, en- gineer corps, stationed at St. Paul, but formerly at Charleston. Both of these of ficers were members of the board of en- gineers which in 1895 disapproved the pro- ject then presented for the improvement of Cumberland sound. Their testimony re- lated almost wholly to that work. Neither of them agreed wholly with Capt. Carter's methods in doing the work.

ALDERMEN DID NOT SHOW UP And the Telephone Matter Could Not Be Settled Last
 Night.

The city council failed to meet last night to consider the telephone ordinance as scheduled. Mayor Evans and Aldermen Ashford, Kerr, Melghan, Moore, Drennen Hamilton, Gray and Hentsched were pres ent, but one more was needed to have a quorum.
 A carriage was sent for some of the ab- sent aldermen but ,none appeared. It was finally decided to meet again Thursday night at 7:30 to consider the matter, and in all probability at that time the original ordinance will pass with several amend ments.
 The telephone people desire the old ord1- nance, that requires all wires to be at least twenty-five feet overhead, amended so as to allow the city engineer or city electrician the authority to give the tele- phone company permission to string wires lower than that where it is practical to do SO.
 MT. Wilson, the general manager or the Southern Bell Telephone company, who was present last night, explained that the old ordinance is being violated every day. and that his company had been violating it. He said that he did not know this until he had come here, and that hereafter he intended that his company should comply with the letter of the law, but thought that ordinance too rigid. Out in the sub- urbs there is no necessity of stringing wires as high as they are in the city.
 There are several others of the old ordi- nances which the company desires amend ed and all of them will be discussed Thursday night.

 l am happy to state that two members of my family have used Paine's celery com- pound with the most gratifying results. My daughter-in-law Mrs. P.

 PATRICK DONAHOE.
 Three-fourths of all the aches, pains and disabilities that aged persons suffer from arise plainly from retarded circulation. The slow blood stream gets choked with an accumulation of waste matter and declares its presence in twinges of rheumatism, lum- bago, neuralgia and inability to sleep. All these unnatural conditions can be corrected and permanently done away with by vlgor- ousy cleansing the blood and regulating the tardy circulation. Paine's celery compound is pre-eminently capable of doing this be- yond any other remedy.
 There is nothing vague about the sort of ''good health that is promised by Paine's celery compound and vouched for by men and women who have used it. It means, among other things, frmer nerves, com- pleter digestion, sweeter breath and more readily bodily functions. Paine's celery compound secures these where other rem edies fail, because Paine's celery compound

Few men in this country who have lived to clear the eight-barred gate which not many come in sight of, and fewer go over," have enjoyed more of the blessings of a long, active, well-spent life than Pat rick A. Donahoe, the founder of the Boston Pilot.
 In every city, village and hamlet through out the several states and territories of the Union, where the Irish-American people have settled, the name of Patrick Donahoe is spoken with respect admiration and af- lection.
 More than half a century ago MT Dona- hoe established the Pilot In 1870 he en- gagged John Boyle OReilly, who was its brilliant editor for twenty years.
 To every good cause and to every charity he has been generous subscriber. Scarcely a Catholic church in New England that has not been a recipient of his bounty.
 MT. Donahoe is now eighty-six.
 The following open letter sent to Wells, Richardson & Co.,, is in fact, addressed to the thousands of friends all over the land, in whose hearts and home Patrick Dona- hoe has found so large place.
 I recently suffered from prostration brought on by protracted illness of very trying character and at the suggestion of friends who were believers in your remedy (Paine's celery compound) I was induced to give it trial.

 Big Mill

The police officers of late are not provid- ing as much for Judge Feagins mill of justice in the days of yore and now only a few cases adorn the docket each morning.
 The officers evidently have that tired feeling which usually precedes the advent of spring, and therefore do not hunt the festive crap shooter as they did at the time of year when one is liable to catch cold when he sleeps out of doors.
 The only case of any importance which came before Judge Feagin yesterday morn- ing was that against Jennie Kemes, colored, who was charged with larceny from the residence of D. H. Edmonds. Jennie was bound over to the grand jury in the sum of $100
