MODERN FRENCH TRAGEDY.
= %. to End Their UnhapDy
y Rxistance.

French tragedy in. these degenerate
days 10 seldom without its flavor of
burlesqus OF opera boufe. Take the
recent case OF the Partisan Romeo and
Juliet. Georges vavian, and Marie
Machine are about the age of the i'm.
mortal lovers of Verona, and feud
divides their houses. They determined
to carry out the likeness to the end.
The first time every requisite for the
tragic denoument was prepared.
Georges had provided pistols, and the
OCCASION was to be q walk in a de-
serted garden AT nightfall. When the
final crisis was at hand, however, the
pair found they had omitted to pro-
vide themselves with sufficient forti-
:tude on this first occasion to carry out
their foolish project. Nothing 10th.
they determined upon making Sec
ond attempt.
This time a well-known recipe for in
stilling artificial bravery was put into
use. Hoping to compensate with
Dutch courage his natural lack Of
vslor, vavian drank q quantity OF
brandy, and took up pistol to shoot
his betrothed. Again his nerve failed
him. Still undeterred, Vavian imbibed
more brandy. Having at last screwed
his courage up to the sticking place
by these artificial means, he leveled his
weapon at Marie Machine, this time
with serious results. He fired and
wounded her in the forehead. Sud-
denly, aghast at what he had done,
he threw the pistol away instead Of
pointing it at himself, and shouted
Justify for help. Fortunately, the
boys hand appears to have shaken,
possibly under the influence of drink,
when he took aim at Marie Machine.
I'D the lie Of the latter was spared.

Absolutely Pure.

A little Ohio girl was taught by
her good mamma to pray regularly
every day, but the requests made were
the same night and morning, week in
and week out. Finally her manaaa
suggested a change for the next day,
and what was her surprise to hear the
dear little innocent pray that God would
make her absolutely pure like the
baking powder in papa's paper"

EASILY PROVEN.
There is Not the Slightest
Necessity for Leaving
Akron to Look
for Proof.

The experience given below by this
well known citizen of Akron is easily
proven. The proof he otfsrs for his
convictions can safely be left with
the reader. 1t is difficult matter to
describe an aching back or any of the
ills caused by disordered kidneys.
more Importance and the most exact
ing resident of Akron cannot ask for
any better authority on this point
than that given by
Mrs. NJ. E. Berry, of 2l0 COburn ST.,
who says: Il suffered from my head
and from my back and it occurred to
me that the trouble was caused by in
activity of the kidneys. There was
pain in my neck and in the back and
top of my head, a dull, grinding ach-
ing across the lOins and sharp twinges
when rising from chair. My hus-
band suggested trying Doan's Kidney
Pills and 1 procured them from Lam
parter & Co. IS drug store. On taking
them they gave immediate relief.
The pains and lameness in my back
were banished, my head felt much
better and l was freed from languor
and depression. DOan's Kidney Pills
proved so well adapted to my case
that recommend them without hes
itation to Others"

Whittier's Woes,

The Boston Transcript prints letter
from Robert l.. Rantoul to the Whittier
club in which he said: "Mr. Whittier told
me the story of discovering his color
blindness when his mother had taken
him out to pick wild strawberries and he
could find none. He told me of the EN-
barrassment this limitation had caused
him through life lest, in describing flow
ers so freely rs he had done in his po-
ems, he might sometimes go wrong as to
the coloring.
But ! ventured to remind him that
throughout the beginning of his career
ne had been a target for the yirulent at
tack because of his reformatory attitude
and l assured him that no such blunders
as he apprehended in the nnitter of color
could have escaped the rancor of his crit
les. | Thought he might reflect upon his
record without uneasiness on that score.
He also told me of the enlbarrass-
ments of his early years growing out of
his Jimited vocabulary. This he attrib-
uted to his scanty schooling. He said
that in the white heat of literary produc.
ton words failed him to such an extent
that he was sometimes in terror lest the
vision he saw so clearly should vanish be-
fore it could be fixed on paper"

People Who Are Ever Ready

Much Good.

The people of Akron feel very
grateful for the great benefit they
have received from the use of Nor

for backache, dizziness, sleepless-
ness, nervousness and all diseases
arising from the kidneys. Morrow's
Kid-ne-oids cure where other rem
edys have failed and the people of
this city have not been slow to find
this out, and they add their testi-
mony that their friends may know
what to use aud get cured.
Mrs. M. j. Veile, 12l East North
ST., Akron, Ohio, says: II suffered
with disordered kidneys. which de-
veloped into dropsy, also with swell
ing of the feet and ankles. which
would be very painful, and severe
backache. When j read about Nor
rows Kid-ne-oids | decided to give
them q trial, and after | had taken
them for a short time l was relieved

UNION FOR COMMERCE
SOUTH AMERICAN REPUBLICS GET
TING CLOSER TOGETHER.
Their Talk of Combine, However,
Not One of Hostility to the United
States, but For Commercial Ad-
vancement-AgEreEa Strength.

Especial Correspondence
WASHINGTON, Aug. 21.-The state
department is not lying awake nights
worrying over the rumored alliance of
the South American republics, which
are reported to be combining with
hostile intent against the United
States. The department has positive
assurances from diplomatic represent
atives OF nearly ali of the South and
Central American states of their most
friendly and cordial feeling toward
this country, and there is no ground
for suppOsition that there will be any
break in these relations. There is no
doubt, however, that the South Amer
lean republics are gradually working
toward a closer commercial union
among themselves, which may or may
not be of advantage TO us. That de-
pends upon how promptly and eff
ciently we are able to meet the COM
mercial conditions of those countries.
With no hostility toward the United
States the presidents of several of the
COulu itpubfitS pCCh

admiration societies and love feasts.
the purpose of which has been to ad-
vance their respective commercial in
terests. President CampOs Sales Of
Brazil and President Julio Roca of the
movers in this commercial union, the
principal meeting having been recently
held in Buenos Ayres.
While there is no robabilfty Of this
country ever coming into conflict with
the South American states, it is in
teresting to note what sort of a front
the united republics would be able to
put up against common enemy.
Chile Argentina and Brazil have
quite respectable navies, the strength
of which may be summarized as fol-
lows:
Armcred Cr,iisers-Argentins, Q; Brazil. q;
Chile, 5; total, p.
Protected Cruisers-Argentina, 4; Brazil, 4;
Chile, 4; total. IL.

Chile, Z; total, IL
Torpedo Destroyers-Argentina, l3; Brazil, 9;
Chile, 81; total, 43.
Total fighting craft of all kinds, 100
Outside of Argentina, Brazil and
Chile the navies of the coast republics
of South America need hardly be
taken into consideration. Peru has a
cruiser of LOO tons, screw steamer
and ten various small vessels of no
real value. Paraguay has screw
steamer of 440 tons, carrying four
guns, and two small river steamers.
Uruguay has three gunboats and one
small river steamer. Venezuela has
three steamers, with a few small gun
boats for river service.
The united republics would be very
much stronger on land than at sea.

Two Services n Yenr

A church in which only two services
are held during the course of any one
year is a curiosity. yet such one can
be found in the middle of large field
near the village of Towton, England.
1t was originally erected as memorial
to Lord de Clifford, who fell in the
battle of Towton in 1861. Services
were instituted for the purpose of
praying for the repose of his soul and
those of his followers who fell in that
historic battle. They might have been
discontinued long ago did not the vicar

is situated, receive the tithes from no

Under existing laws the Chilean

Such an army, even if it could be en-

Popularity of Novels.

1t is a curious fact that the books
which have had the most influence in
England have nearly always been works
of fiction, and it seems probable that this
will always continue to he so. The only
way in which the public pulse can be
efficiently felt is by means of an exam
ination of the free library returns from
the various most important centers in
the country. From an inquiry of this
. sort we learn that fiction still holds the
first place in the affections of readers.
The novel is still most powerful influ-
ence for evil or for good. At least G.
per cent of the books which are taken
from libraries in the ordinary course OF
events are novels.-London Mail.
