DEPEW LOOKING TO 1900.
Suggests German May BE Nominated
and Would Lose.

Senator-elect Chauncey NJ. Depew, who is
now in London, said yesterday in an inter-
view:
Il have every reason to think that Mr..
Mckinley and Mr.. Hobart will be renoni-
mated without opposition and reelected.
If the democrats mot today they would
nominate William Jennings Bryan as their
presidential candidate. On the other hand,
many democrats are anxious to rid them
selves of the free silver burden, and they
are taking up the anti-eXpansion and anti
trust cries. So it locks as if, by the time
the convention meets, they viii be ready
for big political trade.
They Will bargain to buy off free silver,
and Will so before the country on an anti
Imperialism, anti-corpOration, socialistc
and labor party basis. If this occurs there
will be another tremendous fight, but the
republicans will win. Such a platform
would mean the nomination of Mr.. Cor
man.
Mr.. Depew predicted success for the
American campaign in the Philippines,
which he said would undoubtedly be re-
moved from politics before the next
presidential conventions.
With regard to trusts, he remarked:
The tendency now is not TO form trusts,
but to avoid the legislation existing against
them by simply making great corporations

What Ais Many Men.

There is no need to describe the pc.
culiar weakness with which so many
men are affiicted-you all know what
it is-it may have been caused by over.
work, indiscretion, or Inheritance.
How to cure it is what interests you.
You may have taken many kinds of
medicine and found no relief-that
proves nothing except that you have
been working on wrong lines. A reg
ular physician who has seen thousands
of similar cases certainly understands
yours. Such physician is DR.. Greene
the leading specialist in nervous and
chronic diseases, the discoverer of DR..
Greene's Nervura. You can consult
DR.. Greene without fee or cost, person
ally or by letter, at his ofie, 35 W. 14th
Street. New York City. If it is not
convenient for you to call, write Dr..
Greene letter-you will receive a
prompt answer explaining you case.
Remember that consultation and ad-
vice are free.

There are some women who seem to
be perennially youthful. The grown
daughters are companions as well a
children, and the color in the mother s
cheeks, the brightness in her eyes, the
roundness of her form, all speak Of
abounding health. What is her secret?
She is of the middle age of life when
so many women are worn, wasted and
faded, and yet time has only ripened
her charms. The secret of this ma
tronly health and beauty may be told
in the brief phrase, DR.. Pierce's Fa-
vorite Prescription. The general
health of woman is SO intimately rela
ted to the local health of the delicate
womanly organs, that where these are
diseased, the whole body must suffer.
'Favorite Prescription" dries the de-
billtating drains, heals liberation and
Inflammation, cures female weakness
and imparts to the delicate female Or
gans natural vigor and vitality. Wo-
men who have lost their health and
their beauty have been made "robust
and rosy checked" by the use of this
marvellous medicine.

The Election in Maryland.

Messrs. Editors Il am sure that the
gentlemen of Virginia are pleased with
the result in Maryland. 1t was great
victory, especially as we had no paper
on our side and about nine tenths of
the renegade element against US, as
you can see by comparing in the End
district, the vote for A. Leo. Knott,
who has always been Democrat, with
Sanford, renegade. In every case
the regular has the smallest vote,
shOwingthat what few Democrats were
on the city ticket were cut, and the cor
responding Republican voted for.
You know that in many litters of
fine dogs there are one or two pups
badly marked OF weak, which are
drowned to preserve the breed, but
with men, Virginia does not drown
her defective pups to keep up the
standard of her gentlemen, but dumps
them into Maryland. where they inva-
riably vote with the renegades, except
when they can vote for themselves, as
they did in May. Reckon you noticed
the vim and enthusiasm with which
they did not support Smith. Our gains
here were from the Germans, Jews and
other Repu blicans, on account of high
taxes, disorderly negroes and the
treacherous way that Senator Yelling
ton was treated.

than the purse TO the fighters are the

of the fight is said to be perfect, and
under these conditions, it is estimated
that at least $500, 1000 will be received
by exhibiting these pictures. Th'

which means, it is estimated, that thei
share will amount to something like

He Was Afraid to Go.

A man was accused of having stolen
a pair of trousers. There were several
witnesses, but the evidence was rather
meagre, and so the accused was ac-
quilted. He was told that he could
go; but he remained. His lawyer, to
whose successful defense he mainly
owed his liberty, limited to him again
that he was free to depart, but still be
stayed.
There being no more cases to be
heard the court was getting empty,
when the lawyer, growing impatient,
asked with some asperlty, why he
didn't go.
The innocent, injured man whispered
in his ear, 1.-THE fact is. sir, did not
like to move till the witnesses had left
the court. ="

reposed in him by his troops:
The orders read on dress parade the
evening before jackson left the valley
to take part in the seven days fight
around Richmond were, that in case
the army moved before further orders,
that the answer from every soldier to
any and all questions from those bot
connected with the army shall be, L
