Probably the Oldest man in the United
States to volunteer his services IN the
Spanish-American war, and certainly the
oldest physician in the State OF New
York, is DR.. Henry Coursney OF HANCOCK
Junction, Delaware county. Though 10y
years old, the doctor still makes daily
calls on his patients, and when the Pres
ident asked Tor volunteers he offered his
services in the capacity of surgeon. The
doctor says he was born in America, OF
Italian parents. He has reputation OF
being successful healer Of human ills,
gathering all his remedies from the
woods and fields in Delaware county.
He makes his professional calls on foot,
often travelling ten or twelve miles day
without unusual fatigue or inconven-
fence. His hearing is slightly dull, but
he reads ordinary print without the aid
of glasses. At the time of the enrolment
for the draft in 1864 the doctor was rs
years of age, but was physically equal to
a man of IS. The doctor gives right
living" as the secret of his long life.

New Christian Science Church.

Three persons, whose names will not
be divulged, subscribed a large sum of
money towards the erection OF a new
Christian Science church in New York.
One of them, who had been, as he said,
healed in an almost miraculous manner
by Christian science, gave $4,000. All
belonged to the Second church, Scientist,
which has congregation OF about 500
and has been for the past two years
holding services in Scottish Rite Hall,
Madison avenue and Twenty. ninth street.
This congregation voted to help the
larger contributors, and a plot of land
rs by 100 feet was purchased by a
member of the congregation and will be
decided at the proper time to the Second
church. The plot is at the southwest
corner of Sixty-eighth street and Central
Park West. There now stands upon it
fve-story fiat, but this will be torn
down as soon as some leases expire, and
new church will be erected.
This church will be, like all other
Christian Science churches, part OF the
mother church located in Boston, and
which now has 10000 members scat
tered throughout the country. The new
church here will be Greek temple con-
structed of New Hampshire granite. The
seating capacity will be 1000. The
cost, with the land, will be $175, 900.
The readers of the Second church are
Laura and John c. Lathrop. Detailed
plans of the new church have not yet
been drawn. 1t is said that nearly all of
the considerable contributors to the
building fund are persons who say they
have been healed ofdlseases.-[ New York

Death of Captain GridIey.

Captain Charles V. Gridley, COM
mander of the cruiser Olympia, and one
of the heroes of the brilliant victory of
Manila. is dead. The announcement of
his death was received by the navy de-
partment late Sunday afternoon in a
cablegram from Paymaster Gait of the
navy, dated at Kobe, Japan, June 4, and
directed to Secretary Long. The de-
spatch contained this simple statements
Capt. Gridley died today. Remains
accompany me on the Coptic."
Capt. Vernon Gridley is the first Amer
lean officer of great prominence whose
death is the direct result of the existing
war with Spain. AS the commander of
Admiral Dewey's flagship and one of the
admiral's chief advisers, Capt. Gridley
achieved distinction at the battle of
Manila bay and added to his previous
laurels by winning high praise from his
superiors in the service for distinguished
gallantry and ability. He fought his
ship from the coming tower while Ad-
miral Dewey directed the movements of
his squadron from the bridge OF the ves-
sci. 1t was not known for some weeks
after the battle that Captain Gridley had
suffered therefrom, and even now the
precise nature of his trouble is not dis
closed. Upon the arrival of the Zairo at
Hong Kong on the Goth of May navy
department was notified that Capt.
Gridley had been condemned by board
of medical survey and invalided home
Subsequent advices received by the de-
partment indicated that Capt. Gridley
was suffering from the effects of rup-
ture supposed to have been received dur
ing the battle of Manila, but no details
were given. 1t was not supposed his
illness was very serious as the navy de-
partment was informed that the Captain
was in company with Paymaster Gait
would leave for home as soon as possible.

SOME INFORMATION
Which Will Amply Repay the
Reader to Commit to Memory.

Fifty years ago young man who had just
attained his majority wandered into small
village in Northern Vermont. He had not
much more stock in trade than indom;table
push, a few dollars, and kit Of stone
cutter tools. At that time the village Of
Barre, for that is the place referred to, did
not supply employment to three skilled
granite workers, and for some time the
young man found work at his trade rather
precarious means Of earning livelihood.
Years went by and as Barre as a granite
center became known, a sign was suspended
over an Office, which read, L. H. Hooker,
Contractor and Builder. The young man
stuck 10 the growing village, saw it
town, then a city, then double its population
and importance in the last ten years, and
finally he retired from active life when
the granite industry gave work to 1000
skilled mechanics, not to mention quarry
men and laborers. Is this represent
alive citizen OF Barre a competent authority
on the article he discusses1 Mr.. Hooker
says: II doctored and used almost every
known remedy for my kidneys, but nothing
did me any good. There was constant dull
pain just over those organs, and could not
sit but short time, for it made me so
nervous that I had to get up and walk
around. Akidney weakness, which was very
annoying and painful through the night,
existed, while in the morning there was dis
tressing retention. In the fall Of 1896 was
very bad when I heard about Doans Kid
ney Pills. I got box at drug store, more
out Of curiosity than expecting results. Well,
after using it felt so much encouraged that
continued the treatment and took five
boxes in all. I am feeling better in every
way than have in number Of years.

much good as Doan's Kidney Pills. have
recommended them to number of persons
whom I knew had kidney disorder, and they
are delighted. I am glad to let other people
know of medicine which is SO worthy of
recommendation. You may publish my
statement at any time SO that others may
know the merits of Doan's Kidney Pills"

On to Hawaii!

When peaceful nation like ours begins
war there is certain to be manifested
much public impatience at the slowness
with which the measures for national
defence are devised and perfected. The
body, however, that will deserve the first
attention of this feeling until Hawaii has
been locked fast within the Union, is
neither the war department, nor the
navy department, nor the administra-
ton, but the Congress. 1t has before it
a war measure of the very first impor-
lance, bill to annex Hawaii and so to
remove the anxieties, the restraints and
disadvantages continuing while the Sand
witch Islands are kept out of our control
When men are pouring in from all parts
OF the country to strengthen the army
and the navy, it behooves Congress to
heed the appeals of the President and
of the high officers of both army and
navy to strengthen the country by annex
ing Hawaii
Annexation, instead ofinvolving fool.
hardy sacrifice of thousands of immature
troops and the consequent imperiling of
the national cause at the behest of the
impatient popular clamor, such as has
been known before in our history, will
be the deliberate performance of a deed
which patriotism and tar.seeing states.
manship beg for as an immediate source
OF national strength and repose.
We have been ready to move the United
States flag to the Sandwich Islands since
it was taken away from there by the

An InYfncibIo.

When Alcibiades was told that his
countrymen had passed sentence Of
death upon him for being at the head Of
a conspiracy to overthrow the religious
and political constitution of Athens, he
said, II will show them / still live. +"
He obtained from Sparta assurance OF
personal safety and went hither. He de-
lighted and charmed the SPartans, as he
had the Athenians in his earlier years
He adopted their customs and dress and
was the strictest Spartan Of them all.
He wore his hair short, bathed in the
icy waters of the Eurotes and ate their
black broth and barley bread. They be-
lieved that he had been misrepresented
In truth, as Plutarch said, che changed
color more quickly than chameleon. "
In Sparta he was grave, temperate and
fond Of physical exercise; in Ionia he
was easy going, luxurious and merry,
in Thrace LIZ was drunken, in Thessaly
he was devoted to horsemanship, and i'll
the court of the Persian satraps he sur.
passed Tissaphernes himself in magnifi-
cence. AS Sparta was to be the prize Of
the Athenian victory he showed the
people their danger, advising them to
begin active operations against that
city. No better advice could have been
given them, and they profited by 1t.
