NEW LIFE
After Many Years Suffering
and Many Doctors Fail.
Hagerstown, Md, Nov. q, 1898.
FIR. Robt. b. Wills,

Hagerstown, Md, Nov. 81, 1898.
Mr. Robt. b. Wills,
% Elizabeth Street.
Dear Sir-For number or years l was af-
hicted with Indigestion, Kidney and Liver
Disease Inflammatory rheumatism, Catarrh
and Scrofula in its worst form, having an
open sore upon my neck, which had not been
healed for more than five Yeas, and from
which fragments OF bone had been extracted.
During the period of my aftiiction was sub
ject TO frequent attacks, which would con-
tinue for weeks at time, in which would
suffer untold pain and misery. In March,
1898 entered the Johns Hopkins Hospital.
OF Baltimore. Md, and took course OF about
six weeks treatment, but even under the
skill and ability Of the able physicians OF
that Institution, I was unable to be cured or
even more than temporarily benefited, hav-
ing TO continue under the treatment OF emf
nent physicians in other localities as well as
battling the skill OF five of the leading physi-
clans of this city, as all OF my friends and ac-
Quaiutauces having known the condition of
my health may be able 10 testify. In April,
lS"S, IL seeming almost as last resort, de-
cided to try your Vegetable Compound, and
| am now happy TO say 1t has cured me en-
tirely of every afllictiOn, my health being In
a better condition at this time than IL has
been since 1 was child, and weigh more at
this time than ever before in all my life. l
do most sincerely recommend the Vegetable
Compound to every one who may be afflicted
with the diseases that have mentioned, be-
lieving If taken according to directions, 1t
will cure them as IL has cured me.
Very Respectfully,
MISS ALICE STLCKELL,
Bus y. Mulberry Street,

THE ICE MAcHrRE's PART.
At Last There Has Been n New Fea-
ture Introduced Into Uncle
Toms Cabin.

There is a new wrinkle in 'Uncle Toms
Cabin" theatrical companies. One OF them,
which is ransacking the state OF New Jer.
sey for audiences, has hit upon the device OF
buying a refrigerating machine and using
real blocks Of ice in the scene in which Eliza,
pursued by a pack OF barking mongrels,
crosses the river carrying in her arms a
stuffed doll.
The icemaking machine has proved an
enormous success. At the Ridgewood opera
house, where the ice machine played few
evenings ago, frantic crowd fought its way
through the doors. At the first perform.
ances the ice machine was kept in the back.
ground. Several cakes were manufactured
before the performance and placed on the
green baize river. They were carefully sand
ed on the surface, so that when Eliza made
her grand dash for liberty she would not
chine, however, had been so largely adver-
tised that yokels wanted to see it. They
sat in their places after the curtain de-
scended upon the solemn death of Little
Eva and howled for the ice machine to come
out and show itself. The stage manager
and a couple Of deck hands had to carry it
down to the footlights. Then they turned
the handle and, amid uproarous applause,
the machine produced a cake OF real ice.
Since then part has been written in the
play for the ice machine. When the river
scene opens couple Of southern spectators
are discovered experimenting with. the
machine. They produce their ice, and not
having any immediate use for it turn it into
the river, and it sits upon the river surface
at proper intervals to accommodate Eliza's
footsteps. A colored man comes out and
,prinkles sand over the ice in full view Of
.he audience.-Chicago Chronicle.

The Church Bells in a Tree.

Rather more than 20 years ago the
church in Therfield, Herts, was re-
built; altogether including the re-
building of the chancel, for which the
rector was responsible, q sum of $27, ,435
was spent on the work. There were
not, however, sufficient funds to COM
plete the rebuilding, and the upper
portion Of the tower and the porch re-
main unfinished to the present time,
about $1,000 being required for COM
pletion. AS there was no belfry in
which to place the bells, one was hung
on the branch of large walnut tree
in the rectory, close, adjoining the
churhcyard. There it does It's duty.
calling the people of Therfield TO
church, and patiently waiting for the
time when, through the liberality of
friends, it may be removed to a belfry
where it will join with five old COM
panions (now stored away in the
church) in merry peal on their restor-
alton to their proper home.-London

STORY OF A FRANC
Pretty Incident Told of Baron Roths-
child of Paris - Charity
Rewarded.

One of the closest friends of Baron
Rothschild of Paris was Carolus Du-
ran, the artist. During the entire course
of q certain large dinner party the great
fnancier noted that the painter kept
looking at him with most intent and
peculiar expression. After the coffee
and cigars the baron drew his friend
aside and said: "My dear fellow, pray
tell me why you have stared at me so
peculiarly this EVENING""
"I'n tell you with pleasure" an
swered Duran; II am painting beggar
for the salon, and have looked all over
Paris for suitable head to draw from.
I've finally found it. Yours is the ideal"
Rothschild laughed heartily and
promised to sit for his friend in suit
able attire on the following day.
During the progress of the sitting a
young artist, one of Duran's pupils,
came into the room. Naturally he had
not been in position to meet people
of Baron Rothschild's Importance, and
SO did not know him; but the beggar's
miserable rags, wan face and wistful
expression appealed deeply to the
young mans sympathies. Waiting un-
til his master was busy mixing colors,
the pupil took franc from his vest
pocket and held it out behind his back
to the model, who seized it with
feigned avidity.
When the sitting was over Roths-
child made inquiries Of Duran concern
ing the philanthropist, and was in
formed that he was a student of great
promise and attainments, but among
the poorest of the inhabitants of the
Latin quarter.
Some six months after this occurrence
the young man received note which
ran about as follows:
Dear Sir: The franc that you gave
In charity to beggar in the studio OF
Mr.. Duran has been invested by us, and
we take pleasure in forwarding to you
our check for 1000 francs, the principal
and increment Of the same. Yours, ETC.,
Rothschild & Cie."-Harper's Round
