Catarrh.

Catarrh is one of the most obstinate
diseases, and hence the most difficult
to get rid Of
There is but one way to cSre it.
The disease is in the blood, and all the
sprays, washes and inhaling mixtures
in the world can have no permanent
effect whatever upon it. Swift's Spe-
citic cures Catarrh permanently, forit is
the only remedy which can reach the
disease and force it from the blood.
Mr., B. p. McAllister, of Harrodsburg,
KY, had Catarrh for years. He writes !:
II could see no Improvement whatever,
though was constantly treated with sprays

Admiral DeweY's Programme
And Schley's Reception

Even the most trivial incidents connected
with the recent celebration in New York in
honor of Admiral Dewey are invested with
a peculiar charm. and a person who pos
sesses Il tnemento of the occasion is very
day will be of interest since the heroine of
the story was Mrs. Pauline DuBose, a
former Birminghamian, but who now lives
al a charming house in West Thirty fourth
street, New York, which, as everyone
knows, is within a stones throw OF the
Waldorf-Astoria.
Mrs DuBose was seated on the reviewing
stand upon which Admiral Dewey and his
party were also enjoying the land parade
The New York Journal taking up the story
here, told it thus:
Another woman made herself the envied
of all the rest. Admiral Dewey had ex-
pressed desire to know the names of the
various military organizations passing in re-
view before him. The mayor had no pro-
gramme
Mrs. Pauline DuBose, seated nearby,
surmised what was needed.
"'Here. give my programme to the adj
miral she said, rising Admiral Dewey
heard the remark, saw the programme fiut-
ter from the hands of its owner and smiled
when it was placed in his hands. He raised
his cap and bowed"
Mrs. DuBose, it is said, begged that the
admiral return the programme with his au-
tograph, and she now possesses this SOU
venir of the event, and also the blossoms
from Admiral Schley's boquet, which he
presented to her on this occasion.

OLD STORY OF LOVE
AND LOCKSMITHS
Romantic Marriage of Miss Amanda Burke
and w. Il. Bennett-A Ruse Worked
On Well-Meaning BROTHERS.

Through the shrewd manipulations of an
intermediate friend Miss Amanda Burke
and w. R. Bennett were quietly married
by Rev. DIR. Branseombe in the parsonage
of st. Johns church at 9:15 o'clock last
night. 1t is another tale of true love and
brotherly objections, with the two lovers
finally married, despite all efforts to pre-
vent the ceremony.
Miss Amanda Burke has been visiting in
this city for some time and was supposed
to return to the home of her ia tlher in
Dadevile yesterday morning. She has two
brothers living in this city, who innocently
believed she had returned to her home, but
a short time after the train pulled into
Dadeville the young lady was hundred
miles away happily married to the man
she had loved so long.
The chief dnstigator of the match was T.
A. Cummlns, a member of the Southsde
fire department. He was a friend to both
parties, and to him they went with their
troubles. Walter Bennett had loved Miss
Burke for years, and they We're engaged
some time ago. Miss Burke formerly lived
in Birmingham, but moved ito Dadeville
over a year ago She returned to this, city
to visit her brothers.
During this time she saw much of Mr..
Bennett, and their troubles began. For
some reason unknown to the contracting
couple objection to the match came from
the brothers. Love was obdurate, however,
and the engagement could not be broken
off. 1t was then decided that Miss Burke
should be sent back to Dadevile.
T. A. Cummihs, the popular fireman. then
proceeded to manipulate for the tempor-
arily unhappy couple. Miss Burke was in
vited to his house and Mr. Bennett called
in order to discuss the coming trouble. Mr..
Cummins then proposed that the young
lady make the engagement shorter and be
married at once. After some discussion
this was agreed to and according ito the
plan Miss Amanda would pretend that she
was going to Dadevile and instead repair
to the parsonage. Mr.. Cummins' plan
worked to perfection and at 9:15 o'clock
last night with MIR. and Mrs. Cummins as
witnesses the happy couple were married.
w. r. Bennett is electric light in
spector and is quite popular among his
many friends. Miss Burke is daughter
of Mr.. Burke, of Dadeville, and is charm
ing young lady.
Mr.. and Mrs. Burke will be at home with
Mr.. and Mrs Cummns at GIG south Twen-
ty-third street for several weeks.

AN ECHO MEETING.
The Cincinnati Jubilee Gathering
Discussed by the Speakers.

Last night, at the Third Christian
Church, there was held very interesting
meeting, an echo of the great jubilee meet
ing held by the Disciples of the Christian
Church in Cincinnati, last week. After a
song by the congrega ton and a prayer Of
fered by the pastor, c. c. Rowlison, the
regular programme was begun by Rev. A.
Of his visit to Cincinnati last week. The
Rev. circuit must have met with a very
cold reception in Cincinnati, as he took &C.
casion to express himself rather strongly
in reference to the hospitality of the Queen
City.
After this preliminary he made a very in
teresting talk on the subject of Christ be-
ing the central idea. Following few inter-
polated remarks by the pastor, Mrs. Jenk-
ms, wife Of President B. A. Jenkins, Of the
University Of indianapolis, rendered one of
the best short talks of the evening son the
Communion Service" as witnessed by her
self in Cincinnati Mrs. Matte Pounds, ma
tional superintendent of the Junior Endeav-
saw and heard in Cincinnati, in a way that
evidently impressed every one present. Mr..

church, in happy way, spoke OF the royal
way in which they were entertained while
in attendance at the jubilee. His descrip-

HIS MEMORY REFRESHED.
Henry shackeI Is Able to Recall the
Signing of Bond.

Some time ago a notice was sent to Henry
Shackel. German citizen. from the probate
department OF the Circuit Court. The notice
informed Shackel that he was one or the
bondsmen for his father-in-law, who had
taken out guardianship papers. The guard
ian, ii was stated, was an absentee, and the
notice asked that Mr. Shackel, as one OF the
bondsmen. report to the court.
Yesterday Probate Commissioner Walker
received a call from a man who introduced
himself as Henry Shackel. He appeared to
be considerably nettled over the notice he
had received and declared he had never
signed bond in his life. He said his father
tried to borrow s. from him once at a sale
and he declined to advance the money.
If I refuse to help my father, it's not
likely I would sign my father-in-law' 5
bond he asserted with some vehemence.
Commissioner Walker said to him that there
could be no mistake about his having signed
the bond, but the German was obdurate and
insisted that he had not signed il. Finally
the bond was exhibited and Shackels name
was found attached. He looked at the sig
nature, but still denied that he had written
IL. He was so confident that the signature
was not his own that he agreed TO write
he did so and appeared much surprised at
the result He finally admitted that there
was marked similarity in the writing and
after awhile was able TO recall an occasion
when he came to the courthouse and signed
the bond in question.

MILITARY DISCIPLINE
Was q Feature of the Boys Brigade
Entertainment.

The military and musical entertainment
given last night at the Central Christian
Church by the Boys Brigade was a grand
success" according TO the lads taking part
in the exercises. The entertainment was
for the purpose of raising money to pay for
uniforms. The church was fairly we'll filled
The exercises consisted of drills by the
company" which has about fifty MEM
bers. Captain Sumner Clancy drilled the
company in squad and company movements
and in the manual of arms. Mrs. GoetZ, the
church soloist, sang Just Before the Bat
tle'' and 1.-The Battle Cry of Freedom
Miss leila Spence gave a whistling SOLO,
and was obliged to respond to two encores.
Refreshments were served at the conclusion
of the programme.
One of the incidents of the evening which
was amusing to the audience, was the ar
rest by Captain Clancy, with the assistance
of one of the soldiers, fully armed, of a
lad in the audience who was supposed to
have passed the doorkeeper without paying.
Clancy and his assistant went into the au-
0ience, arrested the young man and took
him before the dOorkeeper, where a consul
tatior was held. Whether this was a part
of the programme was not known.
