OVATION TO WHEELER.
SantiagO's Hero Received With
Great Enthusiasm in Richmond.

Richmond, Va, Jan. 1S.-The visit of
Gen. Joe Wheeler here has been a per-
feet ovation. From the time of his arri-
val Monday evening until his departure
last night the hero of Santiago has been
receiving the calls of admirers. Yester-
day was spent in attending receptions Civ
en- Gen. Wheeler by the ladies', and in Wis
iting the Soldiers Home.
At the Womens Club in the morning he
was lunched and delivered a brief address.
In the afternoon the distinguished visitor
was given a reception by the ladies at the
Museum, former White House of the Con-
federacy. On both of these occasions Gen.
Wheeler met the most prominent and
charming young society of Richmond.
None Of these however followed the ex-
ample OF some Of the female admirers of
Lieut.. HObson and offered to kiss him. If
they had no one believes that the gallant
old general would have hesitated about
accepting the challenge.
The comment of the day among Con-
federates is the break Gen. Wheeler made
in his speech before the Lee Camp last
night. Gen Wheeler. who was a promi-
nent cavalry commander during the war
referred to Gen. Robert E Lee as being
buried here in this city. The fact is as
all those acquainted with Confederate his
tory know, the commander in chief of the
Confederate army is buried at LeXingto
Va. Gen. Wheelers address was carefully
prepared and written out in advance The
newspapers We're furnished with copies of
the address The mistake did not appear
in the original manuscript. but the gem
eral committed it in his speech To en-
phasize it he wrote a correction of his
manuscript supplied to the press and re-
peated this blunder

OAKLAND PROSPEROUS.
Steadily Growing business of the
Garrett County Town.

steadily Growing business OF the
Garrett County Town.
Oakland, Md, Jan. 1S.-The general
prosperity of this section and steady
growth Of business are aptly illustrated
by the volume Of business done and
freights handled at the Oakland station
of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad. The
books, records and reports of this Office
show that the cash receipts for the year
1898, were larger than those OF any previ-
Gus year, showing that the goods and pro-
duets bought and sold here are increasing.
The construction of the West Virginia
Central Railroad furnished an outlet for
the Ryan's Glade section OF the county
and took away a large volume OF trade
which formerly came to Oakland. The
construction of the Oakland and Con-
fiuence Road likewise gave an outlet to the
fine farming sections of Johnstown, Acct
dent, Friendsville and Selbysport for all
which sections Oakland was formerly the
receiving and shipping station.
Notwithstanding these facts the cash
receipts of the Oakland station have con-
stantly increased for a period OF more
than twenty-five years. In all that time
there has never in any year been de-
crease of receipts as compared with the
previous year.
The Oakland postoffice furnishes aroth
er illustration along this line. The post
office is an institution which is not affect
ed by the pernicious credit system. Nor
is it subject to losses from bad iudgmt MT
in making investments. Its receipts fiuc-
tuate only as actual business incre ases or
decreases. 1t is a gratifying fact that the
last years receipts were the greatest in
the history OF the Oakland office. 1t is
true, also, that in every year of the past
quarter of a century the receipts have
shown an increase over the previous year.
Every year since the Garrett County
Bank opened its doors to the pubic its
business has been steadily increasing and
the books show that its deposits in each
year have increased over the previous
year. The assets on December 81. 1893.
show an increase of $4,000 over Decem-
ber 81 1897
These facts establish two things. First.
that this community is growing, and
whilst its growth il steady, it is none
the less certain. Second that the town IS
not dependent upon its reputation as a
summer resort. The summer resort brs-
ness has huctuated and there have been
many seasons when the business was a
failure Even in these years the three in
stitutions above named. where the cash
of the community is handled, showed an
increase of receipts.

DR.. HOWARD.
Tells His Experience With COh

Tells His Experience With Coffee.
l am pleased to add my help to your
campaign Of instruction on the subject
of coffee drinking. For ten or twelve
years | have been severe sufferer from
that cause.
l gradually abandoned everything from
time to time that l thought produced the
extreme nervousness from which 1 suf-
fered and all of my very frequent calls
on my physicians resulted in no
benefit until l was advised to do without
coffee.
My condition at that time was such that
] was certain that | had heart disease
in one of its worst forms. Many night
l have retired not expecting to live to
see morning The action was so feeble
and slow that it would run as low as 3S
to 40. and never SO. unless 1 was taking
severe exercise or using some stimulant
My experience in examining patients
who presented themselves for operations
under an anestheue, led me to continually
compare my condition with theirs and
life was made very miserable for me by
such comparisons.
1 also suffered from a constant mus
cular contraction of the fieshy portion of
the left hand, technical description of
which / will not undertake in this letter,
but l could not get rid OF the trouble
These conditions, with a constantly sour
stomach, feeling of extreme faintness
about an hour before regular meal time,
and a sallow complexion gives you gen.
eral of the shape / was in just before
| discontinued the use of coffee 1t was
very hard to give UP coffee, but | was com
PEELED to do so. and for while used water
and milk. Then l tried a So-called
cereal coffee, which I have since learned
is made partly of coffee and partly of
Drowned grains, and is sold as an imita-
tion of your Postum. This did not work.
so / went back to the water and milk until
about a year ago l got hold of Postum
the genuine. Since then | have had one
cup and sometimes two every morning,
and frequently for dinner at night. My
health was never better than it is now,
no nervousness nor muscular contraction,
no heart trouble or sour stomach, and the
pulse-running from 20 to 76
effects of coffee, I made application for
some life insurance, and was rejected on
account of the action of my heart. To
show what the abstinence of coffee and the
drinking of Postum will do, and has done
for me, | will say that in March last
was examined for life insurance and
passed most excellent examination Hav-
Ing gone through the very disagreeable
experience and been relieved from the
trouble, 1t is but natural that / should
feel willingness to assist you all can in
your work, for do not believe one person
in ten has realizing sense of the damage
to the nervous system caused by the con-
sumption of coffee.

Fatal Result of Competition
Among Children.

New York Jan. 1S.-Leonora Bell, the
eleven-ye ear-old daughter of w. S. Bell,
who keeps a butter and egg store at 1921
Second Avenue, was choked to death yes
terday by toy rubber balloon. The girl
with number Of other children, was play
ing in front of her fathers store
They all had toy balloons and were try
ing to see who could make balloon swell
up the most without bursting. In order
to do this successfully it is necessary to
make the rubber part of the balloon elias
tic and the children have learned that the
best way to do it is to put the balloon in
the mouth and moisten the rubber. In
doing this the girl partly swallowed the
balloon and it stuck in her throat By
the time hospital ambulance arrived the
child was dead.

attacked the colonial system. He said
that France had spent from S0.000,000 10

the net loss had been $4,000. 900 francs.
He denounced the absurdity of embark

which nothing could be gained. The root
of the evil, he added. was that the French
possessions beyond the seas were not COL
