Does UP Her Own z1air.

POPLAR CITY, ILL.,, Apr. 10-The peo-
pie here are all talking of the remark
able case of Mrs. j S. Murdoch, who
has been brought from sickness of
long duration to good health. They
regard it as nothing short of amiracle.
But short time ago they knew Der
as a frail, helpless suffering woman.
Now they see in her a most wonderful
change. Her suffering is over, she is
rapidly regaining her lost strength and
she is able to help herself. Life was
formerly burden, now it is a pleasure
to her. Mr. Murdoch, speaking ofthe
case, said. My wife was for four years
unable 10 raise her hands to her head
and could not dress Or undress herself
without aid. She was in constant
misery. Nothing that she took former
trouble helped her, until one day I
br ought home two boxes of Dodd's
Kidney Pills, which had been highly
recommended by persons who had cured
the mselves of kidney diseases with it.
After she had taken the first box she
| was able to raise her hands to her
he d and twist her hair. She is able
to dress herself and perform household
duties, and again life has taken on
bright hue for her. 1t is certainly q
miracle, and Dodd's Kidney Pills are
responsible for it. Every form OF Kid
ney Disease is permanently cured by
Dodd's Kidney Pills. This great rem
edy has never been baffled. It has
cured hundreds after they have been
given upby the doctors todie. Dodd's
Kidney Pills are sold by druggists at
50cents box or six boxes for $3.50.

The Century's plans for the treat

strong points of a story of adventure
SIS plainly as the weak points of an
enemy's ship; whether they bring them
out with the skill of trained writer's or
not, is aquestion each reader will ans
wer for himself. 1t may safely be said
no battle by land or sea has ever been
so completely and authoritatively des-
cribed, in any one periodical, as the
fight off Santiago is presented in this
group of lavfshly illustrated articles.
"The Story of the Captains" fills

The Chilhowee echo. [volume] (Knoxville, Tenn.) 1899-19??, 1899-11-25

splendidly opened the first week by one
of the Nations heros, Admiral Schley,
and the round of magnificent enter
tainmentS in his honor-were ably pre-
sided over by Mrs. L. Crozier French,
to whom Birmingham Indebtedness
for many and invaluable suggestions
and good works, is fast becoming as
great as that of KnoXville's is, to this
same talented woman. Mrs. French
was secretary of the Woman's Board
of the State Fair, while Mrs. r. II.
Pearson. wife of Col. Pearson, one of
Alabama's most prominent lawyers and
leading capitalists, was the able presi-
dent. Mrs. Pearson is also president
of the Birmingham Woman's Club a
large and splendid department club,
which is doing fine work along many
lines, and of the Woman's Building
Association, as before mentioned. These
varied and distinguished positions held
by Mrs. Pearson at once Indicate her
unusual executive talent, while her
graciousness in her superb homeland
as an honored guest within this home
the writer knows whereof she speaks
is but an outward manifestation of her
genuine and true womanhood.
The success of the State Fair was
said to be due to the energy of the
women of the State. The closing week
was Woman's Week, and besides the
very successful sessions of the Con-
gress, State Conference of the Daugh-
tiers of the American Revolution occu-
pied an entire day. This was held at
the beautiful home of the State Re-
gent, Mrs. Bolton Smith. An elegant
luncheon was served: many delegates
and regents were in attendance from
all over the State-amOng whom Mrs.
George Harrison, of Opelika, is known
to many in Knoxville. A most helpful
and delightful interchange of plans
and ideas resulted. Mrs. Gov. Sims,
State Regent of Mississippi, and the
writer, one of the two Vice-Presidents-
General of the National Society from
the South, We're the special guests of
honor. The earnest interest of the
Alabama Daughters in preserving their
historical landmarks and in furthering
the patriotic and educational interests
of their great National Society was
absolutely inspiring. The following
day, Mrs. Chenoweth gave to the
"Daughters a reception that for ele-
gance and artistic beauty in the exqui-
site table decorations and color scheme
of red, white and blue, the colonial
idea carried even to the powdered hair

THE MCCLURE HARPER DEAL.

So the consolidation of McClure's
and Harpers is really off, The New
York Times of Saturday gives this
statement of MIR. Mcclure:
IS. S. Mcclure, of the firm of Double
day & Mcclure, publishers, yesterday
made a statement regarding the ar
rangements with Harper x Brothers
for a merger Of the interests of the two
firms. which have now fallen through.
Mr.. Mcclure said:
1T is suggested in the newspapers
this morning that some of the Messrs.
Harper dsapproved of the arrange
ments made with US last summer This
is a mistake The facts are: In June
we obtained an option on certain stock
of Harper * Brothers; part of the
stock of each stakeholder was included
in the option. There were only seven
stockholders, and each one was a party
TO the transaction and was present
when the arrangement was made
About two weeks ago we informed
Messrs. Harper & Brothers that we
would surrender the option. This we
did last week. We will carry out the
plans for encyclopedia and other en-
terprises which we hoped to undertake
in connection with Harper x Brothers
Aside from the general literary in
terest, there is a personal interest at
tached to this in Knoxville. Mrs. Mary
Lurton Finley. so well known in ou
society. is the widow of the forme
manager of McClure's, and sister-in
law of the present manager.
