London, May 12-It will interest
Americans to Know that in all the Brit
ish empire there are but 10 women who
are peeresses in their own right and NOT
merely by marriage. A peeress has
rights that common martals canro.

the rights (which can be claimed by a
man holding the same title. notably that

king to represent the property which
they owned. but the majority preferred
to make use of the peers prerogative

you go?" and of course the husband
went, and it became an established
custom for peeress to name a male
proxy; then gradually the custom Of
appointing a proxy fell into disuse and
the peeresses nave now lost their rep
resentation in parliament altogether.
The majority of the privileges, or as
1t is technically called, benefit" of
peefage, can De claimed by women. A
peer can demand private audience of
the sovereign to represent his views on
matters important to the public welfare,
For treason or felony he can demand
to be tried by his peers, but in case of
misdemeanor he is amenable to trial by
an ordinary jury He cannot be ou.-
lawed in any civil action, nor can he be
arrested unless for an indictable Of
Tense, and he is exempt from serving
on juries He may sit with his hat on
in courts of justice. Should a peer have
the misfortune to merit the last pen
atty of the law he can say "begone" TO
the plebeian rope and demand to swing
by silken cord. A peeress in her own
right retains her title after marriage,
no matter how inferior the rank Of her
husband may be; but a peerless by mar
riage, if she becomes widow and mar
ries again, loses her rank in the peer
age If her second husband is below it,
and only retains her title by courtesy
Sometimes the husband of a peeress
takes his wife's name. Margaret Of
Newburgh, the celebrated Countess of
Warwick, married John Marshall, and
he became Earlso Warwick. We have

From the New York World.
'Possum hunting on Gates avenue. in
Brooklyn, is an unusual pastime, but
Officer James f. Phillips of the Gates
avenue police station had that pleasure
early the other morning
About dawn he was startled by seeing
some animal creeping along on the OPP
posite side of the street. 1t started
down the street on run with the Off
Ger after it. The chase lasted over an
hour, the 'possum leading the officer
across lois, over fences and down mar
row alleys. Finally the 'possum dou-
bled on its tracks and came back TO
Gates avenue, where it was caught I'M

self known to the rheumatic" by pains
in the joints.
Digestive disturbances often play en-
important part in causing such pains,
while defective elimination of the waste
products of the body on the part Of the
skim kidneys, lungs and other excretory
organs has strong influence in the
same direction.
Obscure pains in the joints are not to
be regarded as without significance, ror
their occurrence dismissed as unworthy
of solictude. 1t is well known that
other changes in the organs, possibly
painless, but frequently vital progress
step by step with the symptom mani
tested in the joints.
The remedy for the discomforts, and
even dangers that errors in hygiene in
vite, lies in seeking for and correct
ing the errors. Proper care of the skin
is one of the most important measures
for combating rheumatic palms. Bath
ing should be practiced during the Win
ter months almost as frequently as in
summer although the water should be
of comfortable warmth. In certain
cases hot baths are beneficial. Errors
of diet are to be corrected, and general
measures for the promotion of health
should be habitually observed
Obscure pain in the joints is to be re-
garded as one of natures hints in ia
vor of more healthful manner OF liv-
ing. Such hints are not to be disre-
garded without peril.

DR.. McMillan Heard From.

We have a nice letter from our good
friend, Rev. DR.. James P. Mcmillan,
lately OF this place, which tells us that
he has accepted call to the pastorate
of the Presbyterian Church at St.
Pauls, North Carolina. Since he left
here in September, travelling over 5000
miles, he has had six calls from seven
congregations visited, high compli-
ment, but one we all know him to de
serve at the hands OF people capable of
approaching this grand man. Dr. Nc
Millan's scholarly attainments, minis
terial abilities, and Godlike christian
character will always be remembered
here with affectionaie regard. Fortu-
nately DIR. McMillan's great powers
and positive influence for good were
not to be measured by the visible re-
suits in his own immediate little con-
gregation, here, else the eight or ten
other eminent pastors of the Second
church would also have suffered in re-
putation. But suffice to say he and
his distinguished predecessors justly
lost none of their prestige whilst adding
to their list of lifelong friends in Rich
mond. Our heartfelt solicitude ever
goes out to this large hearted, cultiva-

Mrs. RusseII's Death.

1t is with peculiar sorrow that we re-
cord the death of Mrs. Salie Russell,
the aged mother of many children well
known in this city and elsewhere.
Mrs Russell had not been in bad health,
although 81 years of age, and hence
her death following immed 'ately after
a stroke of paralysis, shocked the COM
munity with surprise and sorrow. The
burial occurred Saturday afternoon and
was attended by a large eoncourse Of
relatives and friends, many of whom
came from a distance. Mrs. Russell
was sister Of Mira. Susan White, late
ly deceased, who was ten years her
senior. The latter was lett a widow
80 years ago whilst Mrs. Russell bad
been a widow almost as long. They
were sisters of Hon. John d. White,
Congressman from this district over
fifty years ago. They were also cousins
of late ex-Congressman Addison White,
OF Alabama, and Congressman John
d. White, of Manchester.
Mrs. Russelrs children are Mrs.
Mary Tevis, of this city; Airs. Thomas
Hogue, OF Washington, Ga; Mrs. J.
Tevis Wilkerson, of Lexington, and
Misses Sudie and Dora Russell, of this
city, all Of whom were devoted to their
mother and rendered her long widow
hood as happy as dutiful and affection
ate children should do.

AMONG the candidates now before the
people for State Office there is none
more deserving than John Il Chenault,
of Richmond, who aspires to the posi-
ton of State Auditor, nor is there one
so likely to capture the vote of Eastern
Kentucky in the State convention. Mr.
Chenault has always been a Democrat
and a wheel horse when it became nee
essary to pull for the party. He has
never before asked for an office, but
for years has had an eye on the one he
now seeks. To that end and that he
might be thoroughly qualified for the
duties pertaining to the position, he
has made a study of State finance and
in all the prerequisites necessary has
endeavored to fit himself to fill the po-
sition with honor to himself and credit
to the State. That he has done so goes
without saying in his home and fnan-
cial circles, and The Herald, believing
him to be better qualified for that im-
portant Office than any man In the
State, irrespective of party, to day an
nounces its determination to stand by
him until the State convention. Too
many men seek and secure Office in
this State through sentimental sur
roundings. What the State needs and
what her citizens demand is that hence
forth the qualities shall be the rule.
Looking over the political field we have
failed to find any man SO well qualified
as Mr.. Chenault, and in the hope that
we shall be able to convince the citi-
zens of this commonwealth of the fact
as well, The Herald will from time to
time introduce evidence OF his fitness,
and invites the close attention of its
readers to the statements it shall
make.-Hazel Green Herald.

In Memorr Of Ioseph Elealhman.

In the course Of the year 1898 the icy

and, in reviewing as best we can, those

its we were fully versed, we cannot
refer to any one that we could in our

in more vexed questions than any one
else in the scope Of country in which he
lived, standing as security for many

never vindictive against any. The poor

COMMENTING upon the oft-repeated
assertion that the United States Senate
is hOpelessly lost to Democracy until
1906, an exchange says:
"The story is now going the rounds
TINT the Republicans are sure to hold
the Senate till 1906. The truth is that
in 1900 the Legislatures will be elected
that in turn elect in 1901, thirty Sena-
tors seventeen Republicans eleven
Democrats, one Populist and one silver
Republican. Among the gold Repub-
leans who will go out will be WolcOtt.

of Montana, Elkins, OF West Virginia,
Mcbride, of Oregon, Thurston, of Ne
braska, and Cullom, of Illinois If the
Democrats carry the necessary num-
Der of States to elect a President in
1900, they will have decided majority
in the United States Senate. 1t should
be remembered that among the recent
gains made by the Republicans, gold
Republican Senators were substituted
for gold Democratic Senators; ana in
this way there was no loss.'
Democratic triumph in 1900, rryine
with it the Presidency, both houses of
Congress and majority of the popular
vote will be victory worth celebrat-
ing. And we will celebrate.

Deafness Cannot BE cured.

reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cnre deafness
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an infiamed con-
dition of the mucous lining Of the Eus-
tachian Tube When this tube gets
inflamed you have a rumbling sound
or imperfect hearing, and when it is
entirely closed deafness is the result,
and unless the inflammation can be ta-
ken out and this tube restored to its
normal condition, hearing will be de-
stroyed forever; nine cases out of ten
are caused by catarrh, which is nothing
but an ineamed condition of the mu-
cons surfaces.
