In Terms That Sound Almost Profane
Though Spoken faoin IA Pulpit.
London, April 25.-The 300th ami
versary Of the birth of Oliver Cromwell
has furnished the occasion for do
graphic, appreciative articles, portraits,
in all the papers and celebrations in
various parts of the country, in honor
of the lord protector Of the British
commonwealth. DR.. Joseph Parker,
minister OF the City Temple, this city,
took the subject as the theme for his
sermon this afternoon and delivered an
extraordinary Grafton to large con-
gregation. In the course OF his re-
marks he attacked the Prince of Wales
as "a certain card-playing Prince. "
After eulcgizing Cromwell, DR.. Parker
said:
when the Prince fails then let the
I country mourn. We look 70 Princes
for noble deeds and high example.
When 1 see my Prince and my premier
on a race course | don't like it,"
These remarks were cheered by the
audience and DR.. Parker proceeded to
make a rabid attack on the Sultan of
Turkey, during which he said:~
|. Emperor William may call him his
friend, but in the name of God. the
Father, the Son and the Holy Ghost,
| say God damn the Sultan

IMPORTANT DECISION
Fixing the Quality of Coal T3at May be
Imported Duty free.

EXlDg the tyualty VI Soai -fAt may Dc
Imported Duty Free.
San Francisco, April 25.-Judge Nor
row, of the United States Circuit Court,
has decided that imported coal of any
description containing less than 90 per
cent. of fixed carbon is liable to a duty
Of 81 cents per ton, while anthracite
coal containing more than 90 per cent.
of the fixed carbon is admitted free OF
duty under the act of July "a. 1897. On
July q, 1897, Charles P. Cole imported
8, 400 tons of anthracite coal from Swan
sea, Wales, on the British ship Musko-
gle, and under the act Of the same date
the collector of the port OF San Fran
cisco imposed duty of CT cents per
ton, which was paid by the importer
under protest. An appeal to the Board
of General Appraisers in New York re-
suited in the collectors decision being
sustained, and Cole then appealed TO
the United States Circuit Court, where
a final decision has been rendered
against him.

The old-timc tonics, sarsaparillas,
nervines and haphazard remedies of
our forefathers won't do in the spring
of 1899.
Your great grandmother didn't take
Paine's celery compound any more
than she used the electric light or the
telegraph.
But her children and grandchildren,
the grown-up men and women CT to-
day, are taking this great modern
spring remedy and getting rid of dis
eases that the old, unscientific prepare
tons made no impression on-and are
making no impression on to-day.
Paine's celery compound has as little
in common with any of these obsolete
remedies as modern, life-saving anti
septic surgery has with the practice CT
few years ago which was attended
with SO fearful death rate. The half
a century that has elapsed since these
old-fashioned remedies were formulat-
ed has been the most fruitful years In
medical discovery. It has witnessed
the discovery Of the most effective
medicine the world has ever known
AS a remedy for blood and nerves
Paine's celery compound has been well
coined by physicians, prescribed and
publicly recommended. No remedy has
ever approached Paine's celery COM
pound in its wonderful success with
diseases and ailments due to nervous
debility and impure blood.
Paine's celery compound Is as unlike
any remedy that has gone before it
and as superior to it's nearest rival as
the great searchlight is to the tailow
dip. 1t is not mere improvement nor
development of any of the old-fash-
Toned remedies. It is a totally new de-

/. For time yesterday it looked like
the negotiations for the ball game be-
tween Pittsburg College and Wheeling
would be declared off, owing to fail
ure on the part of the respective man
ayers to agree upon terms. A truce
was patched up late in the afternoon
and at $3.50 o'clock this afternoon the
Wheeling fans, will be afforded their
first opportunity to see the local play
ers in a match game. There will
probably be very large crowd pres
ent, as the base ball fever is being
manifested in an aggravated form.
Following is the batting, order of the
two clubs:
Pittshurg College-Calhoun, third;
Kane, middle; Morris, pitcher and
right field; McNichol, second; Wall,
flrst; Curran, catcher; Gain, right and
pitcher; Minton, short stop; McVean,
left; subs, Gillesby and McLane.
Wheeling -Dobbs, catcher; Durett,
left; Lattimer, catcher; kim, first;
Niles, third; Robinson, short; Dono-
van, right; Heine, second; Frabell,
pitch; Cummins, sub.
Heiue is the new second baseman
who will be retained permanently at
that position if Nick Young decides
against Wheeling in the Woodlock and
Mozena cases. IIeine was with Dayton
last season, and led the short stops,
but was one of the few players who
declined to accept the cut in salary.

For Il. l. L. Fette- DistrilSotes ssh in a

Every bowler of high or low degree
knows B. l. L. Fette, who has done
perhaps more than any other man in
the city to popularize bowling. "B. l.
L." is a good fellow at all times, but
last night his urbanity took on divers
forms, and he was distributing cold
cash with one hand and cold hash
with the other. There was a two-fold
significance in his conduct.
Some time in the wee sula' hours OF
the morning a wee sma' bowler ar
rived at the Harvest Home. He only
weighs ten pounds, and he is VERT
able vest pocket edition of his good
natured papa. The distribution of
prize money in the Wheeling league
took place last night, but it was sec
ondary consideration with "B. l. L.
1t is said that the grin of amazing pro-
portions upon the countenance OF the
King Pin of Bowlerdom, would be
worth going a hundred miles to see, y
as the circus posters say.
There was a big crowd of devotees
of bowling at the Harvest Home, and
most of the boys will stand a treat
to-day.

parture in the cure of blood and nerve
diseases, and cures where other rene
dies fail, because it embodies the new
est Investigations into the source OF
these diseases.
And that is the reason why Paine's
celery compound is the most successful
remedy in the world
The following letter from Miss Lou
Use Wolcott, one Of the officials of the
Daughters of the American Revolu-
tion, shows the estimation in which
Paine's celery compound is held by
persons who have used it:
New York, Feb 81, 1899.
Me5srs. Wells, Richardson & Co.,
MISUNDERSTANDING for several years
been subjected to heavy strain on my
nervous system and feeling utterly
worn out and discouraged, after con-
sultation with my physician l began
taking P1ines celery compound and
am only too glad to add my testimony
to the many thousands you already
have Of its efficacy in rebuilding the
nervous system. I now feel like an en-
tirely different person.
Very truly yours,
LOUISE WOLCOTT.
Were 1t possible to keep the nerves
always strong and in calm working Of
der few persons would know what it is
to be Ill, but with the changes in eli
mate, work and worry and the shut
in life all winter, nervous disorders,
more or less serious, are unavoidable.
Paine's celery compound should be in
every household, that there may be no
delay in regulating the nerves when
they become irritable, poorly nour-
ished and are wearing out the strength
Of the whole body.

Why are Allcock's the best plasters?
Because they make the cures where all
others fail. Why do they make the cures?
Because they contain the right materials.
Compare their fine aromatic odor with
the nasty smell of all other plasters.
Your sense of smell will tell you which
is the best. Did you know that Allcock's
have greater sale than all the other kinds
put togethera Did you know that all

But they initiate in appearance only.
