The imaginary invalid who fancies he
has had all the diseases in the books or at
least all the interesting ones is not often
an amusing person to physician, but
now and then a yaletudinarian of this
sort affords the faculty a good deal of di-
version.
A man Of go who had been grumbler
all his life and had long made a practice
Of changing his doctors on the slightest
provocation not long ago called in a young
physician who had gained considerable
reputation.
He was telling this doctor what he
thought was the trouble with him, when
the doctor ventured to disagree with his
diagnosis
90 beg your pardon" said the patient
in naughty way. 1T isn't for young
physician like you to disagree with an old
and experienced invalid like meW

SHERMAN STILL ALIVE.
Unfounded Reports Of the Death Of the
Ex-Premier.

Santiago de Cuba, March 22.-There
is no truth in the statements published
in the United States, and cabed back
here, representing that John Sherman is
dead. II is incomprehensible how these
reports originated The American line
steamer Paris, Captain Frederick Wat
kins, arrived here last evening before
dark, and IT was Immediately reported
that Mr. Sherman was not only alive,
but better, resting easy. and expected 70
recover. He will be transferred, IL all
goes favorably, to the United States
cruiser Chicago on Friday. The cruiser
is now coaling at Kingston, Jamaica.
The Chicago was dispatched by the
navy department to Kingston to bring
Mr. Sherman to the United States i'm
medately, as the Paris was not ex-
pected to return with her excursionists
for some time. The Chicago, however.
did not reach Kingston in time, but
upon meeting the Paris of Kingston
made Arrangements to take Mr.. Sherman
off the latter vessel on Friday, the
change to be made at Caimanera, few
miles east of Santiago.

Paine's celery compound, upon which so
much praise has been bestowed, is within the
reach of the humblest family in the land.
The incalculable amount of good that it is
doing in making sick and even despairing
people well should compel the attention of
every judicious person who is out of health.
Paine's celery compound invigorates the
nerves. makes new blood, arouses hearty
appetite. regulates the bowels and brings
about normal action of the liver.
The use of Paine's celery compound makes
all the difference between impure sluggish
blood and tired nerves, and healthy energetic
bodily condition-between sickness and
health

LOCK No. 2
At Coraopolis Will be Completed in
Sixty Days Missionary Already
Finished-A Very Quick Job.
Other River New.

PITTSBURG, October 30-The ma
sonry of Lock No. at Corapolis, on
the Ohio river, is practically eomplet-
ed, and the event will be celebrated
Wednesday morning at 10 o'clock by
the hosting of large American flag
on the head of the lock wall. The
work on this dam was started in June,
1898, and was finished in less than
year, actual working time. The
members comprising the firm Of the
Evansville Contract Company, who
have the contract for all the upper
Ohio river dams, will be present at
the ceremony; also Capt. William Mar
tin, of the Davis Island dam, and a
number of government engineers and
other employees.
The lock wall is practically COM
pleted with the exception of placing
the coping. This, it is said, will re-
quire about sixty days time. but this
part Of the work is nothing compared
with what has been done. The con-
tractors are naturally elated over the
rapid progress they have made at this
dam and intend to celebrate the oc-
casion. 1t is said to have been the
quickest job of the kind yet accom-
plished for the government. The work
was finished in several years less time
than was the other locks on the Ohio
river. 1t is, however, said that the
Davis Island dam and the dam at Mer-
rill cannot be taken as criterions, es-
pecially the former, as dam building
was foreign when it was started. The
completion of the dam at Corapolis
will mean much to Neville Island.
There is much work to be done be-
fore there is a complete slackwater
system to that place. A Chanoine
dam must be first built and much other
work and If it requires as much time
to do the work as it has at Merrill, it
will be several years before it is COM
pletely finished.

a NASTY LITTLE FIRE


Morning.
A large stable in Alley c, between
Twenty-ifth and Twenty-sixth streets
took fire early yesterday morning aud
together with the contents was COM
pletely destroyed. At 4:30 o'clock an
alarm was turned in from box so and
later there was an alarm from box 81
which was pulled twice and the entire
department responded promptly at this
hour. The fog was very dense and the
fremen drove at considerable risk.
The building burned rapidly, making 4
big blaze, and the firemen, after ar
irving on the scene, directed their eff
forts largely toward saving adjacent
property and did some excellent work.
The building was leased by Charles
Stevens and was on the property of a
Mr. Seamon. of Darlington, Ohio. In
the stable was horse belonging to Mr..
Stevens, and dog, a ferret and about
dozen chickens owned by Frank
Blue and all were burned The loss
amounts to about $500. 1t is believed
by some that the fire was of incen-
diary origin. The blaze was quite q
nasty one to fight and was gotten un-
der control in a remarkably short time.
There was much uneasiness among
residents in the vicinity whose pro-
perty was endangered by the flying
sparks and was in all probability the
cause of two alarms being turned in.

Steve Elkins is here
This was the word which was hand
ed from mouth to mouth among the
Republican politicians last night, and
u caused quite a furry among them.
The Mcclure House became the Mecca
tor the bosses after dark, but they were
not granted an audience by the SEN
ior Senator. To a rank outsider it
looked like a frost.
/ The Senator's private car was at
tached to the Ohio River passenger
tain arriving here at GAO p. NJ. 1t
was occupied by Senator and Mrs.
q kins, Senator Elkin's private secre-
/ airy, and a young man whose name
was not learned Upon arriving at
the. depot Senator ElkiNs and wi.e
! ired carriage and were driven 10
the Mcclure, taking dinner with Sea-
tor and Mrs. N. B. Scott.
| Senator Elkins left his suite of rooms
and went down into the lobby of the
hotel, about eight o'clock. The news
of his arrival had not spread suffi-
GENTLY at that hour, and only such
politicians as CHANGED to be in the lob
by at the time, were permitted to talk
TO him last night.
Col. Morris Horkheimer arrived
soon after the Senator retired to his
room and made himself as comfortable
as possible in the lobby and on the
balcony. Campbell Richards strolled
da, and was soon given to understand
that there was "nothin' doin' :" John
Cummins then put in an appearance,
and with Richards and one or two
others, formed a little consolation
party. A little after nine, James X.
Hall walked in and sent his card to
the Senator. The answer was the
same as had been given shortly before
to the Register man:
"The Senator says he is in bed, and
will see you tomorrow
Up to a late hour Charlie Henning
had not called, but he has had the ear
OF Elkins for several days The 9TH
ers found it difficult to disguise the
fact that they regarded the treatment
they received as rather chilly, and
after buttoning their oyercoats about
them, they departed. OF course they
will all have the opportunity to chat
with the Senator to-day, as a public
] 2ception will be given him, after
which Senator Elkins will leave over
the B. & O. for the East.
