Eight Hundred Thousand
Sufferers From Kidney Trouble
Cured This Year by
Dr.. David Kennedy'S FavOrite Remedy.
Sample Bottle Free.

Thousands who have written for one of
the free trial bottles of Dr. David Ken
nedy's Favorite Remedy have literally
had their lives saved by a postal card.
They got the trial bottle, and 1t proved to
them that DR., David Kennedy's Favorite
Remedy was the only real cure for dis
eases of the kidneys, liver bladder and
blood rheumatism, dyspepsia, chronic
constipation and the sicknesses peculiar
to women. They bought a large sized
bottle of their druggist and it benefited or
cured them. (The above is not an Idle
statement, but the result of careful in
vestigation.)
You can do the same thing. If you are
in doubt as to whether you have trouble
with your kidneys or bladder, put some
of your urine in a glass tumbler and let
1t stand "a hours if it has a sediment or
milky cloudy appearance, if it is ropy
or stringy, pale or discolored, you should
lose no time In taking DR.. David Ken
nedy's Favorite Remedy; 1t can be had of
all druggists at 81 90 a large bottle or six
bottles for $500. 1t is without question
the surest medicine of the age to put a
stop to such dangerous symptoms as pain
in the back, a frequent desire to urinate,
especially at night scalding, burning pain
in passing water inability to hold urine
and all the unpleasant and dangerous eff
fects produced on the system by the use
of whisky and beer.
Send your full name and address to the
DR.. David Kennedy Corporation, Rond-
out, n. Y, and be sure to mention this
paper when a trial bottle, with pamphlet
of valuable medical advice, will be mailed
to you absolutely free. The publishers of
this paper guarantee the genuineness of
this liberal offer.

READY FOR CONGRESS.
Hon. John R. Thayer Is Against Trusts
First and Last.

Senator George F. Hoar and Con-
gressman-elect John r. Thayer will
soon leave to engage with their legis-
lative labOrs at Washington. Senator
Hoar leaves Worcester tomorrow on
the noon train, and Congressman
Thayer goes Saturday morning. After
the Christmas holidays. John NJ Thay-
er, his son, win go on to Washington
to act as his fathers private secre-
tary. Later other members of the
Thayer family will pass a part of the
winter in Washington.
When The Spy man called upon Mr..
Thayer yesterday he found him very
busy trying to clean up his law bust
ness as much as possible before leav-
ing the city. Naturally he did not care
to talk on what measures he would adj
vocate personally, but said that the
Filipino, money and trust question
We're important ones, and would no
doubt receive considerable attention
from congress. He thought that the
question of seating w. H. Roberts from
Utah, would come before the congress
early in the session. On the monetary
question Mr.. Thayer would not say
much, but on trusts he exclaimed; "You
can put me down always against them;
first and last l will always work
against them

SMELLS THE FuNC.
Young People of St. Stephens Church
Give Good Show to a Large Au-
dience.

| 0iVe d 1ooo ohoW 10 Large Au-
dience.
The dramatic club of St. Stephens
parish gave a minstrel show in the
church hall last evening, which reflect
| ed not little credit on the ability of
the young men as vocalists and enter
| tainers. When the curtain was rung
down on the last specially there could
! be no doubt of the success of the per-
! Torrance in whatever way a person
might view it. The spontaneous ap-
| plause and evident determination of
| the audience for encores easily attested
the merit of the various numbers on
! the program and the hearty laughter
which greeted the sallies of the end
! men showed at once that the jokes had
| refreshing originality about them and
were well told, which is more than half
the success.
The young men presented the show
for the benefit of the church fund
That their efforts were recognized and
commended was shown by the large
crowd. There was a full house, and
the performance was as big a success
financially as Ii was artistically.
One Of the best features of the per-
Torrance was the ease with which if
went through. Not a hitch appeared
the performance being staged with al
most as much cleVerness as a profess
sional troupe could have done it.
When the curtain went up the troupe
opened with "Ambolina Snow" a bar-
by chorus which was sung with good
volume and time. The chorus showed
| the results of good drilling. Not once
did the young men fall from the nron-
er pitch and the absence of fiatness
created favorable comment amo1~s tbe
/ audience. The success of the opening
( chorus led the audience to expect good
things, and 1t was not disappointed

apolis. Major went to school until he
was 10, when he started in to work in
a bicycle establishment in Indianapo-
lis 1t was while there in 1890
that Major rode his first race.
1t was a 10-mile road race, all the
competitors being on ordinaries. Thirty
cyclists of local fame started, and the
little errand boy, who had never ridden
in an event OF the kind before, was
given the limit of allowance of Is
minutes Nobody thought the little
chap could win, but he did by six sec
onds, to the surprise of everybody.
In the four years that followed the
lad TOOK part in many races and con-
tinued to improve steadily. Then Louis
d. Munger, whom cyclists the country
over delight to call Birdie" came and
set up his factory in Indianapolis and
Taylor went to work for him. In 1895
Taylor won 75-mile safety race about
Indianapolis and enjoyed the unique
distinction of being the only one to fin
ish in the rainstorm which came up af-
ter the riders started.
TAYLOR went east with Munger in 1895
and from that time forth his fame in
creased. The cycling game in the east
was growing and there were many
events to bring the lad to the fore. In
the fall of that year he won a 10-mile
road race from scratch in TINS CITY
managed by the Albion Bicycle club. He
repeated the feat in the fall of 1896
securing the silver cup offered to the
| man winning It twice.
Riding on the L. A. w. circuit in 1897
| Taylor made good his claim as a rider
of the first class beating Bald, Cooper
Kiser, Mcfarland and other speedy ones
more times than he was beaten. Taylor
also rode and won more races last year
| than any other one man, but as he did
not compete in the deciding races at st.
Louis which were held on Sunday he
failed of first honors. Tom Butler was
declared champion.
The Major has never ridden on sun
, day He says he wasn't brought up that
way and doesn't intend to break the
precedent. When the National Cycling
association was formed in September,
| 1898, Taylor went with the other riders
| in order to finish out the championship
series which he had been riding with
the other fast ones The Major claims
the n. C. A. promised not to ride on
! Sunday, but this agreement was violat-
ed and later he sought reinstatement in
the L. A. w The champion does not say
| in so many words that the N. c. A. took
! this action in order to freeze him out
of taking a big slice of the honors, but
that he believes as much cannot be
| doubted

CROSBY ALL RIGHT.
So the Registrars of Voters Decide on
Advice of City Solicitor.


Advice of City Solicitor.
The registrars of voters, acting upon
the advice of City Solicitor Arthur P.
Rugg, decided yesterday that James P.
Crosby was all right, despite the claim,
made by George A. Busby, his defeated
opponent for the republican nomination
for the common council from ward /.
that he was not a resident of the ward
within the meaning of the statutes. The
vote follows
Voted: That in the matter of the
petition Of George A Busby stating
objections and protesting against
the printing of the name of James
P. Crosby upon the ballot to be used
at the municipal election for COM
mon council in ward one on Dec,
IL, 1899, after due notice to the par
ties in interest and hear
ing thereupon, upon considera-
ton of all matters of law and
fact as presented to the board at
said hearing, the board decline to
take the action requested, and dis
allow the objections of the petition
err
1t was given out by the registrars that
there was no evidence to prove that Mr..
Crosby has given up his residence in
ward 1. He maintains that he intends
to reside in that ward, never intended
to leave the ward and actually does live
in the ward now. His engagement of a
room at 119 Thomas street before the
caucus, also the storing of his goods
at 101 Summer street support his state
meut ofsinteptions.
