to the root of the matter in treating it. For
twenty-three years Mr.. Warwick has been
a great sufferer from stomach troubles and
q complication of other disorders arising
therefrom, and in that time he has been
under the treatment of seventeen different
physicians, and spent hundreds Of dollars,
all to no purpose however, as he received
little or no relief from any Of them. DUR

physician Mr.. w. has gained eighteen
pounds in flesh, his complexion has chang

proud.

The Republican party in its platform
of 1896 declared solemnly in favor of
civil service reform, but it has just enacted
a Census law which is intended to furnish
Federal Offices for a horde of politicians
during the Presidential campaign next
year. The act provides that the 800 Super
visitors to be appointed By the President
shall each select the Enumerators of his
district, while thousands of clerks required
in the Washington Office will be appointed
after noncompetitive examination, by
the Directors OF the Census. This is SUBJ
stantially the system under which the
last three national censuses were taken by
Republican Administrations, and their
iDaccuracy is notorious In work of thai
kind the most competent persons obtain
able should be employed, regardless Of
partisan considerations.

DoNALDSON's LAST DIVE.

Three Thousand Witness His Fatal
Plunge at Madison Square Garden.
New York. March 9.-Thomas Donald
son, of Bath Beach. L. l., known the
world over as ii champion high diver.
dove from the roof of Madison Square
Garden, a distance of s. feet, yesterday
afternoon, with probably fatal results.
Donaldson Travelled for some years
with Barnum & Bailey. and has been
the star attraction at the sportsmens
show, now running in the Garden. He
has been making two dives daily. The
tank is less than eight feet deep, and
on two or three former occasions Don
aldson did not have the success expected
and came out of the water with hemor-
rhages from the nose and ears.
Harry Cornish has charge of the water
sports, and it was he who gave Dom
aIdson the signal to dive. Three thou
sand persons were present and saw the
famous diver lean from the platform,
and, falling slowly forward, make the
plunge. He shot straight downward,
but it was plain before he had got half
the distance that he had lost control Of
his body. He struck the water head
first. and failed to come up. Small
circles of blood came bubbling up from
the bottom, and Harry Reeder, the ANA
teur champion swimmer and an attache
of the Garden, plunged into the water.
The man Owed several times, and finally
Reeder brought Donaldson to the sur
face. He was apparently dead, with
blood flowing from his mouth, nostrils
and ears, and from wounds on the head.
Donaldson was carried to one Of the
dressing rooms and attended by several
physicians. He was then removed to the
New York hospital. He has fractured
skull, with compression of the brain.
and the left side of his face is crushed in.
The surgeons at the hospital say that his
death is only a question of hours.
Donaldson was 45 years of age. Just
before making this dive he said he in
tended to challenge Kearney T. Speedy,
the champion high diver of the world.

FritterIna the Time Alvey

The New Jersey Legislature, under the
instruction and control of a corporation
lobby, is deliberately frittering away days
and weeks in idle and fruitless sittings, in
order that ii may not disturb the trusts, or
correct other and existing evils says the
Trenton True american.
Day after day sees the formation of
some gigantic corporation, combining
within itself host of similar and naturally
competitive enterprises destroying that
natural competition which is the life of trade
and the safety of the people; clogging the
markets with more or less watered secu-
rites cutting off the ambition and the
work field of thoueands of bright younk
men, and amassing in the hands of few
the corporate powers and the wealth Of The
country, on which the common people have
to pay the interest and dividends.
When and where is the self aggrandize-.
ment Of the favored few to cease Are the
people to be forced by the dizziness Of law
makers to take the remedy in their own
hands Must there be revolution against
plutocracy, before the average legislator
can appreciate the fact that money cannot
repay the State for the odinm of selling it's
franchises on the easiest terms to grasping
corporations n
