FIGURES SHAMROCK WINNER.
London Yachting World Thinks Her
Chances of Defeating the CO.
Iumbia Are Excellent.

The London Yachting World con-
tains a long article on the Shamrock's
chances in the contests for the Amer
icas cup. Starting upon the assump-
ton that the Nigilant and Brittania
were equal, the writer argues that the
Shamrock showed herself TO be cap
able of beating the Brittania in a mod
crate breeze % 10 26 minutes over a
3O-mile course. With time allowance the
Shamrock superiority would be Is
TO 20 minutes. As the Defenders su-
periority over the Nigilant in sailing
the same course is estimated at six
minutes and the Columbia's superior
ity over the Defender is assumed to be
three minutes, il is estimated that the
Columbia's superiority over the Wig
liant is nine minutes. Therefore, ac-
cording to the Watching Worlds ar
ticle, there are excellent grounds for
the belief that in the present condi-
tion of both yachts the Shamrock will
win.

MANS QUEER ILLUSION.
yVeII-to-DO Farmer of Indiana Dis
putes the Death and Burial
of His wife.

Jacob Lass, well-to-do German liv-
ing seven miles south of Richmond,
Ind, called on the police superintend-
ent with an odd story. He reported
that he was in search of his wife, whose
remains were supposed TO have been
buried in a country graveyard near his
home in April last. He asserts that his
wife is among the living and that she
is either in Richmond or else with rela-
tives at Indianapolis. Last April his
wife committed suicide by shooting
herself through the head and her re-
mains were buried two days later. Lass
now insists that this death was not real
and that a scheme to separate himself
and his wife was successfully carried
out. The superintendent reached the
conclusion that Mr.. Lass is demented
on this point. The bereaved husband
owns a farm on the Union county line
and has several married children.

Women Should Know 1t.

Many women suffer untold agony and
misery because the nature OF their dis
ease is not correctly understood. They
have been led to believe that womb
trouble or female weakness of some sort
is responsible for many ills that beset
womankind.
Neuralgia, nervousness, headache, puff
fy or dark circles under the eyes, rheu-
matism, dragging pain or dull ache in
the back, weakness or bearing down SEN
sation, profuse or scanty supply of urine
with strong odor, frequent desire to pass
it with scalding or burning sensation,
sediment in it after standing in bottle or
common glass for twenty four hours, are
signs of kidney and bladder trouble.
The above symptoms are often attribut-
ed by the patient herself or by her physi
clan to female weakness or womb trouble
Hence SO many fail to obtain relief, be-
cause they are treating not the disease
itself, but the reflection of the primary
cause, which is kidney trouble.
In fact, women as well as men are
made miserable with kidney and bladder
trouble and both need the same remedy
DR.. Kilmers Swamp Root is the great
discovery of the eminent kidney and
bladder specialist, and is easy to get at
any drug store for 80 cents or Sl.00
To prove its wonderful merits you may
have sample bottle and book telling
all about it, both sent absolutely free by
mail. Kindly mention the Paw Paw True
Northerner and send your address to DR.

NEED ROOF GARDENS
Evangelist Moody Suggests Them
for New York Churches.
Believes They Would he Means Of
Saving souls-Would Have Them
as Attractive as Theater
Roof Gardens.

"It is no use talking" said Evangelist
Dwight L. Moody, "but things have got
to be revolutionized in New York be-
fore we can reach the masses. Some
people may be surprised, and even scan
dalized, but unhesitatingly state that
every church in New York should have
a roof garden" Mr. Moody, who has
been doing evangelistic work in New
York during the last two days, went to
Brooklyn and preached there Sunday
In the Church of the Pilgrims.
az am convinced" he said, that we
must do some hard work in New York
and other great cities during the sum
mer months. The talk about every
body going out of town during the hot
weather is all bosh. Just because you
see few brown stone mansions in the
neighborhood of Fifth avenue boarded
up in the summer, you must not imag-
inc that New York leaves New York
and goes into the country.
''I say that the summer is the best
time to reach the people. You do not
then have TO go into the house TO do it,
You can find them outside, whole fam
lilies sitting on the stoops. In the win
ter you have TO go inside 10 rout them
out.
Every church In New York should
have a roof garden. The thing is per
fectly practicable, and there is no rea-
son in the world why we should not
convert as many sinners in a roof gar
den as i'm a church
II would make the church roof gar
dens as attractive as the theater roof
gardens. The services would be the
same as in the stuffy churches, and
there should be plenty of good singing
and good preaching.
"Sell lemonade Why, certainly. 1
would sell all kinds of temperance
drinks.
"Over in Liverpool we have hundreds
of little coffee places where a man can
go and treat his friend. There is no
reason why we should not do the same
thing here, and do it in proper and we'll
arranged roof gardens"

TIE BANKRUPTCY LAW.
Has Not Been Very POpuInr-Not as
Many Petitions Filed as
Was Expected.

The bankrupt act has been in opera
ton a year, and during that time there
have been filed in New York city 1881
petitions with the clerk of the United
States district court and 720 discharges
have been granted. The act has not
been as popular as expected. Estimates
were made when the act was passed
that from 5000 TO $4,000 persons would
take advantage of it the first year, as
II was believed that there are at least
100000 persons in New York city with
judgments hanging over them. The
clerk of the United States district
court, who has charge of the petitions,
says that the number of petitions filed
m the past year is short about 400 in
comparison with the first year of the
cid bankrupt act, in 1867, when over
1,700 petitions were filed.

is AN UNFAIR CLAIM.
Dr.. Mendenhall's Opinion of Can
ada's Boundary Line Dispute.
Made Survey OF Alaska which IL Now
Used by United states to De-
fine the Limits of Its
Territory.

DIR. Thomas c. Mendenhal, president
of the Worcester (Mass.) Polytechnic
institute, made the survey Of Alaska Oh
which the boundary line, now subject
of dispute between the United States
and the Canadian government, was
fixed by this nation. Speaking of the
controversy, DIR. Mendenhall said:
'The actual value OF the land of which
Great Britain, through the Canadian
government, desires to possess itself is
insignificant compared with the impor-
tance of the seaport privileges that coun-
try would secure if its claims were
granted.
"The greatest benefit which Great
Britain expects TO derive from a settle
ment of the boundary question in her
favor is to acquire an open sea coast for
her great northwest territories and to
weaken us by breaking our exclusive
Jurisdiction north of 81 degrees.
with one or more sea ports leading
out TO the Pacific ocean Great Britain
would come actively into competition
with American shipping interests, to
the great disadvantage of the latter,
which are now preeminent in the ter
ritory in question. Over the water
ways and the passes embraced in the
disputed territory an immense amount
of emigration and supplies for the Ca
madam northwest territory now goes
through American hands.
THE right of complete jurisdiction
over this coast, exercised so long by
Russia without protest from Great
Britain, became ours by purchase in
1867, and for many years after that
Great Britain acquiesced in our exercise
of authority over the territory as Rus
sia exercised it.
"It was not until 1887 that the Cana
dian government issued an official map
showing that il claimed its boundary
line from the outer edge of the islands
instead of running parallel to the coast
line reckoned from the coast of the
mainland.
''To accede to Canada's claim would
be TO give her all the value that the Unit
ed States purchased from Russia in
southeastern Alaska"
