Took the Best Cure.

A business man of this city who was
badly run down by hard work left
town for a vacation at the advice of
physician, on the 1st of last July. He
returned a few days ago, and all his
friends were astonished at hislmprove-
ment. He had gained considerably in
weight, his eye was clear and bright,
his step was elastic, and altogether he
looked five years younger than whenhe
went away. The change was really
startling. Here is the way he declares

A Noble Woman.

Mrs. Paul Kruger, the wife of the
President of the Transvaal, is very
important parsonage in South Africa,
even if she does look after her own
cooking and lives in most unostenta-
tious fashion. Ever since her marriage
SIZE has bestowed upon her husband
the affection and care OF a favored
child. When the executive council is
discussing state measures in the re-
ceptlon room, Mrs. Kruger generally
sits in a little room just across the
hall, and altho to an ordinary observ-
er her mind seems to be entirely oc-
cupied with knitting, she knows every
thing that is going on. Mrs. Kruger is
a member of the celebrated Duplessis
family, which is related to Cardinal
Richelleu. She is the mother of six
teen children, seven of whom are liy-
ing, and her family affection, which Is
strong, is divided among them and her
husband. Her picture would seem to
indicate that she Is stout old Dutch
lady with a very plain face, but with

New Telegraph System.
The United Electric COMPANY

The United Electric Company to-
night tried for the first time the quick
telegraph system, the invention of En-
gineers Virag and Pollak. 1t was used
upon Government wires between Buda
Pesth and Bernn, where Pollak oper-
ated the apparatus. The trial was
perfect success, the apparatus working
at Buda Pesth in the presence of rep
resentatives of the American telegraph
companies, the French Government and
Hungarian authorities, and in Berlin
before several Ministers and State
Councillors, with unfailing results.
BY this invention the messages,
which have been previously perforated
are worked off by electricity at the
rate of $4,000 words an hour, although
the machine has an actual capabihty
Of 100000.
By this system one wire con do the
wor. of 16 wires worked by the pres
ent methods. The perforated strip has
two rows of holes upon which are two
brushes. one a positive and one neg
ative. AS the paper rolls off the
brushes, through the holes touch a
meta backing, sending a current to
the other end of the wire, where it
strikes a telephone membrane. By
help of a magnet tiny mirror attach
ed to the telephone membrane reflects

The opening of a drum, in which sensl-
tive paper rotates and receives the
signs at the rate of 100000 per hour

"DAMNED THE IRISH"
Mclean Ordered General w. G. HaIpin
Out of His Office.


The Chicago Irish-American, which
is edited by Hon. John Hartley, and is
a well known representative OF the
Irish race, says, in reviewing the ca
reer Of John h. Mclean and his news
paper:
THE Enquirer became notoriously
unfriendly to our race, and we remem-
ber distinctly an interview lin which
we participated) between John r. Nc
Lean and the Irish patriot, General
w. G.. Halpin, who was then publisher
OF the Irish Vindicator. The general
called on Mr.. Mclean to demonstrate
with him for the daily and unwar-
ranted attacks on the Irish people, and
on every principle and conviction they
sacredly held. Mclean swore in the
most accomplished vernacular of the
slums, damned the Irish and ordered
the general out of his Office. Colonel
Cockerell and the writer were wit
nesses of this scene, and also Of the
manly and intrepid stand of General
Halpin, who called Mclean to his face
"a libertine and the degenerate scion
of worthy and noble SIRE"

CONTRASTS BETWEEN 1896 AND
1899.

Two years and a half OF republican
administration have worked a great
change for the better. This fact
stands out with striking distinctness
as every citizen knows. The Chicago
platform. which the democratic party
is at pains To reafiirm. deplored the
fall In prices, the prostration Of in
dustry and the impoverishment OF the
people" 1t would require columns TO
epitomize the prosperity that has taken
the place Of those conditions. The first
step in the transformation was TO re-
iect the Chicago platform. All succeed
ing advantages resulted from that EN-
phatlc Judgment OF the people. A glance
at some Of the benefits indicates the
nature and extent Of all. Our currency
is equal to the best in the world.
Workers everywhere ara busy at good
wages, There Is no army OF the unem-
ployed Farmers sell their products at
profitable prices. and are paying OF
debts incurred during the period OF
democratic blight. The foreign trade OF
the country is unprecedented. Threat
ening international problems have been
settled. The Pacific railroads have
paid up in cash. Hawaii has been an
nexed, after half century Of discus
sion. Cuba is free The treasury
keeps ahead Of expenses, and has an
immense store OF gold. The country
has carried through a successful war
and expanded.
A closer look into these items In
creases their significance. In three
years the money in circulation has been
enlarged nearly &4OO, 100000, and $780,
OOO, ,OGO Of the addition is in gold. Ex-
ports OF manufactured articles in the
last fiscal year footed up 1885,, ,sG7, ,794.
or 2S per cent Of the total exports OF
domestic products. Our exports are 50
per cent heavier than they were four
years ago. The increase in two years
has been % per cent. Our bridges are
going to Egypt and Burmah. our loco
motives to a dozen countries. and our
agricultural machinery to nearly all Of
the world. One reason for this is that
the world knows that in all trading our
dollar means i00c. Bank clearances
for the year ending last month were
the largest on record. The increase is
III per cent over the dark democratic /
wear Of 1894. 1t is to be remarked that
the latest figures are the best OF all.
IN August the exports OF iron and
steel manufacturers amounted to $l2-
1884, against sS,O61. .s65 in the same
month last year, The exports OF wool
were larger than in any
previous month, and there were gains
also in paper, tobacco fbers. India

Now let Mr.. Bryan, who perseveringiy
invites the country to place him at the
head Of affairs, take the witness stand.
