Last Saturday a man missed drive at golf and smashed tie young lady who stood behind him in the mouth and knocked out all her front teeth and then when she was being rapidly driven to the doctors by another man the horse ran away and upset her and broke the mans leg and severely in- Jured her besides, as an lrishman would say.

PARSNIP COMPLEXION.

A majority of the ills affecting people
today can be traced to kidney trouble.
1t pervades all classes of society, in ali
climates, regardless of age, sex or con-
dition.
The sallow, colorless-lo looking people
you often meet are afflicted with 'kid
ney complexion" Their kidneys are
turning to parsnip color, so is their
complexion. They may suffer from in
digestion, bloating, sleeplessness, uric
acid, gravel, dropsy, rheumatism, ca
tarrh of the bladder, or irregular heart.
You may depend upon it, the cause is
weak, unhealthy kidneys.
Women as well as men are made mis-
erable with kidney and bladder trouble
and both need the same remedy. DR..
Kilmer'a Swamp-Root, the great kid
ney, liver and bladder remedy will build
up and strengthen weak and unhealthy
kidneys, purify the diseased, kidney
poisoned blood, clear the complexion
and soon help the sufferer to better
health.
The mild and the extraordinary effect
of Swamp-Root is soon realized. 1t
stands the highest for its wonderful
cures of the most distressing cases, such
as weak kidneys, catarrh of the bladder,
gravel, rheumatism and Bright's Dis
ease, which is the worst form of kidney
trouble. At druggists, fifty cent and
dollar sizes. You may have a sample
bottle by mail free, also pamphlet tell
ing all about it. Address DR.. Kilmer

Speaking of somersaults, the anecdote
which Lord Eldon relates of the emf
nent English lawyer, John Dunning,
afterward Lord Ashburton, will bear
repeating. 81 had" says Lord Eldon,
Every early after ] was called to the
bar, brief as junior to Mr.. Dunning.
He began the argument and appeared
to me to be reasoning very powerfully
against our client. Waiting till l was
quite convinced that he had mistaken
for what party he was retained, ther
touched his arm, and, upon his turning
his head toward me, l whispered tc
him that he must have misunderstood
by whom he was employed, as he wa:
reasoning against our client.
He gave Inc q very rough and rude
reprimand for not having sooner SCI
him right and then proceeded to stat
that what he had addressed to the cot
was all that could be stated against b.
client and that be had put the case a:
unfavorably as it We're possible in ordel
that the court might see how very salts
factorily the case against him could b.
answered, and, accordingly, very pow
erfully answered what he had befor'
stated"

Where Paris Excels London.

There are some things that the French
do infinitely better than the English,
and one of them is the establishment
of their capital city. No absolute reason
exists why London should not be as
cheerful and beautiful as Paris. The
difference in climate is small, and it is
not wholly to the advantage Of the
French metropolis. And if money be a
consideration there is quite as much of
that commodity in London as in Paris.
Some statistics, however, which have
just been published throw an interest
ing ray of light ON the cost of keeping
Paris bright and attractive
1t appears that the title of Vile Lu-
miere is not as well earned as one might
imagine, seeing that there are but 90,
AGO lanterns, more than half of which
have but one burner each. The boule-
wards and avenues are ornamented with
Sc, 400 trees, which is no mediocre feat
to accomplish, considering the inhospi-
table nature of the soil They are to a
large extent plane trees, which have
been found more suitable than most
other kinds. There are, however, no less
than IA, 500 chestnut trees, whereas the
number of elms is still greater by 100.
This brotherhood of venerable trees,
as Wordsworth would have termed the
scattered forest of Paris, and theil
| maintenance costs in round numbers
$65, 900 year. There are 8, 300 seats in
the streets and squares which cost the
weary foot passenger nothing, and g
very large number of supplementary
chairs which can be had for penny

lNGERSOLLS' FUNERAL.
Flowers but no Future, HOnOrs But
No Hope. Love But No Light.

New York, July 25.-The funeral of
the late Robert G. Ingersoll took place
this afternoon from Walston, Dodds
Ferry, where he died on Friday last.
No clergyman was present to con-
duct the services, there was no music
and there were no pallbearers. The
body lay on a cot in the room where
he died. It was enshrouded in white
and just the red rose was placed on the
breast. About the cot were banks of
floral tributes sent by friends, wreaths
and punches of blossoms.
The services were held at 4 o'clock.
Mrs. Ingersoll sat beside her dead, and
beside her were her daughters, Mrs.
Walston and Mrs. Brown and Miss
Maud Ingersoll. They were very
much agitated and wept almost con-
stantly. Mr.. and Mrs. c. P. Farrell
were present and Charles Broadway
Rouse, Colonel Ingersoll's Oldest
friend, occupied chair by the side of
the bier.
There were some forty others pres
ent, and they remained standing
throughout. The intense silence was
then broken by DR.. John Clark Rid
path, who, in voice full of emotion
said:
''My friends, it is very sad duty to
read in the presence of the dead the
last poem written by Colonel Robert
G. Ingersoll entitled Declaration of
the Free This poem Colonel Inger-
soil had read and altered in some of
its parts only a few hours before he
was stricken down."
Major o. J. Smyth, who resides in
Dodd's Ferry, and who was close
then, without preliminary words, read
another extract from Colonel Inger-
soils writings entitled ''My Religion. !"
Put His Hand On Dead Mans Heart.
DR.. John Elliott, of New York, read
the funeral oration delivered by Colon
ell Ingersoll over his brothers dead
body. This concluded the short and
simple services. Nearly all present
then took parting look at the dead
and passed out. Mr.. Rouse arose in
his chair, and, as he is totally blind,
passed his hand over the face of his de-
parted friend, and said:
"Perhaps he is better now, no one
can understand it."
Mrs. Ingersoll said to him: ''The
Colonel wanted you to put your hand
upon his heart" and, sulting the
action to the word, she directed his
hand to the left breast of the deceased.
Mr.. Rouse asked what she was going
to do with the remains. 81 can not
give him up" she said. 81 can not put
him in the ground. l can not bear to
think of it. We're going to bring him
back home"

THE STORY OF A DRUM.

4 regiment In motion and the rattle of drum,
With rat, tat, tail and rat, tat, tumi
Fear is on the face of some,
Others stepping with aplomb,
And steady is the patter and the clatter Of the
drum
Sweeping lines in evolution, fast the wheeling
columns come,
And a thousand men stepping to the tap
ping of tho drum.
There are countenanceS glum,
There are senses dull and numb,
But boy is stepping proudly there, he's play
ing the drum.
The rage and roar of battle, and the rattle of
drum,
The shrapnel shot are flying with zipl and a
zum
Cruel shells exploding come,
And the bullets hiss and hum,
But drum still echoes loudly. Will the thing
be never mumf
Darkness on the field of battle, where the body
seekers come;
The storm of death is ended and display ed the
struggles sum
A pallid face, drum;
There is blood, and both are dumb.
A story of a drummer and a story of drum

DEWEY SNUBS SULTAN.
Admiral Shows Lack Of Appre-
ciatiOn of Horse Tails
By Refusing To Visit the Sublime
Porte He FOrfeits Title to
Decoration.

Special Dispatch to Com. Tribune.
Pittsburg, July 20.-Admiral Dewey
wants no horse tails in his. He plainly
said so, when day or two ago, he de-
clined to stop at Constantinople in re-
sponse to the urgent invitation sent to
him by Oscar S. Straus, Minister to
Turkey.
Deweys refusal to go to the Sublime
Porte amounts to snub to His Ma
jesty, Abdul, the Sultan of the Otto
man Empire. A year ago the Sultan
sent Admiral Dewey a message of con-
gratulations, and decorated him with
the Order of Husan Medjidie of the
first class. That made Dewey Pasha
of the third class, the highest, and en-
titled to have an out-runner go before
him when he appeared in public, bear
ing aloft on standard three horse
tails.
He has practically ignored the be-
stowal of the tails upon himself, al
though he acknowledged the receipt
of the Sultan's message. To properly
acknowledge the honor of being decor
ated, the recipient must appear before
the Monarch, bestowing it and person
ally express his appreciation. This
Dewey declined to do, although he
passed within a comparatively short
distance of Constantinople. In that way
he expressed his Indifference to the
honor.
Edward Longard, of Pittsburg, a
railroad construction engineer, who is
a native of Austria, and familiar with
Turkish court etiquette, said:
''By his failure to call on the Sultan,
Admiral Dewey has forfeited the hon.
or bestowed upon him. Dewey was
given the license to have the decora-
tion made by the royal jeweler. The
decoration costs about 81, 900, which is
paid by the person upon whom it is be-
lstowed. The insignia is a golden jewel
shaped like sunfower."
