A TEACHERS DUTY
Extends to Food and Drink.

I noticed two of my little pupils, bro
Their and sister, when reaching up for
a book or any article that I desired to
hand to them, trembled more or less
from the fingers to the shoulder.
1 finally concluded this was not shy
ness, but was really some physical
trouble, and upon inquiring, I discov-
cred that they were in the habit of
drinking coffee every morning for
breakfast. 1 warned the children to
leave off the coffee, for I knew it was
the cause of their trouble, and would
ruin them if continued in. 1 always
urge children to use Postum Food Cof-
fee, for 1 know that to be heaIthful,
Strengthening and perfectly natural
liquid food. A short time thereafter the
little folks spoken of were entirely well
of their slight palsy.
Tt is a distressing state of affairs
where parents permit children to use
CT binary coffee.
Many cases have come to my notice
where the taste of Postum was not
liked but in all such cases, the dislike
arises from the failure to properly
boil it. 1t is a very tasteless liquid
when underboiled, and a very delicious
strong, rich, satisfying coffee when
boiled long enough to bring out the
flavor and food value. DR.. Helen Coe,

SLOAN'S BIG RETAINER.
Prince of Wales and Beresford to Pay
the Jockey $4,000

Chicago, Jan. 24-Tod Sloan will re-
ceive next season the highest retainer
ever paid any jockey on either side of
the ocean. According to Tod himself,
his fee will be more than G3, 500. This
amount was once paid Fred Archer, the
remarkable English jockey. Sloan says
he will get more. He will not tell the
exact amount, but admits it is a trifie
over $40, 600.
Americas crack jockey is in Cali
fornia at the present time and in a re-
cent interview admitted that he weigh
ed 114R pounds in street attire. That
figure, he says, is the highest he ever
reached, although in the winter of 1895
he got as high as ia pounds. Sloan
will remain on the coast about one
month, where he will do plenty of hunt
ing. Then he will leave for New York
and take a steamer at once for the
other side.

"Started With a Cold"
Jean Physicians and he Proves
What He Says.

cit is surprising what mistakes even
some of the best people in the world
make"
The speaker was one of the greatest
doctors the world has ever known, and
he resides in New York.
Take for example one of the most
common things in the world, namely, a
cold. People speak of taking a cold,
there is really no such thing.
"a cold is a symptom-an effect, not
cause. Did you ever know an abso-
lu*ely well and healthy person who took
cold? I never have, even under the
greatest exposure. Yes. indeed, cold
is symptom, not a cause.''
The gentlemen and ladies to whom
the doctor was speaking exchanged
looks of establishment but they did not
dispute the words of the learned doc
tor.
You may be surprised" he con-
tinued, when I tell you that nine
tenths of all colds occur because those
great organs of the body, the kidneys,
are out of ORDER
more men and women are troubled
with imperfect kidneys than with any
other known form of disease. The un-
fortunate thing about it is that they do
not know that this is their trouble.
why? Because all difficulties, de-
engagements and diseases of the kidneys
which come to both men and women
are usually without any pain; in fact,
without any symptoms whatever, and
this proves just what 1 said at first,
namely, that a cold is a symptom "
There was a look of Amusement upon
the faces of the hearers.
Indeed continued the doctor, most
deliberately and earnestly, Il assert
that the grip, which has been so dis
astrous, which has brought so much
trouble into the world, would never
have had it's run if the kidneys of those
who had suffered from it had been in
perfect condition. These great organs,
if unclogged, would have thrown the
disease from the system so that the grip
would have been unknown
Now there is but one great discovery
for the prevention and cure of all kidney
difiuclties-that grand remedy, War
ner's Safe Cure. No class of people
know or realize this better than the
medical profession, and no class is more
ready to acknowledge it,
Take my word, anyone who is care
full upon the first approach of a cold or
grip and goes right to the seat of all
colds-the kidneys-will not suffer long
from a cold; will not be oppressed by
the grip and need have no fear of pneu-
monia, because the kidneys, uncloggged
will open up the system and throw the
germs of disease out of the body. You
can depend upon this.

J." NATHAN HALE"
Nat Goodwin Makes Success of Clyde
Fitch's New Play.

Clyde Fitch has hit it at last. For
the first time since he wrote Beau
Brummell' with due apologies to
Richard Mansfield), he has emerged
from the pink dinner, yellow tea, cotil-
lion favor play. In Nathan Hale"
which was produced at the Knicker-
booker theater last night by Nat-that
is to say N. C.-Goodwin and wife, Mr.
Fitch has dealt with a subject that will
be quite useless to his usual constitu-
ents, Susan Jane and Mary Ann. He
has given us a highly dramatic, vivid
and well written four-act play, with
Nathan Hale as a hero and his sweet
heart as a heroine. There isn't a
duchess, a lady of birth, or even an
Hon. Mrs" to cheer Mr.. Fitch. He
has gone upon his path unaided by
snobbery, and the result, as seen last
night, was most satisfactory. Nobody
can write better English than this
young playwright. Nobody has a thicker

the third act, when it looked as though
the fabric was about to tottor Nathan

He finds the enemy at the Widow Chi
chesters tavern, in Long Island He

as though Nathan Ha1e's arduous
work was too much of a ''cinch. -

GRANT ON THE STAND
The Son of His Father Testlfies in the
senatorial Bribery Investigation.

Sacramento, Gala, Jan. 24.-The sena-
torial situation remains unchanged. But
ore ballot was taken which resulted the
same as the last one taken on Saturday.
When the work of the special committee
of investigation into the senatorial can
didates was resumed today, Daniel Cole
testified that he had received $500 from
Milton J. Green, Grants political man
ager, which had been turned over to
Assemblyman Jilson to be used by Jill
son in his political canvass. Assembly
man Belshaw testified that Assembly
man Dale had told him that SO, 900 had
been offered for second choice votes for
Bulla. Dale had afterwards practically
changed this to the story that So, 600 had
been offered to win votes from Grant.
Dale was wanted as a witness but sent
word that he was too i'll to appear be-
fore the committee.
E. F. Preston testified that he had
been told by Police Commissioner Gunst
of San Francisco that Dan M. Burns
had put $4,000 into the senatorial fight.
Gunst testified that he remembered the
conversation he had with Preston but
had said nothing about $4,000. He
stated that he had told Preston that
Burns had given $14,O 900 or $4,000 to the
Republican campaign committee.
William F. Herrin, attorney for the
Southern Pacific company, testified that
the Southern Pacific had nothing to do
with the senatorial fight. Individual
members of the company had made
personal subscriptions to the regular
campaign fund but that the company
had subscribed nothing and took no
particular interest in the campaign. No
passes had been given legislators to in
f1uence votes for United States senator
by himself and he had every reason to
believe that none had been given by
the company.
Major Frank Mclaughlin, chairman
of the Republican state central commit
tee testified that he could not tell the
exact amount that Burns had sub
scribed to the campaign fund, but it
was a generous SUBSCRIPTION. 1t had
been subscribed for the benefit of the
whole ticket and had been so expended.
1t was not used in the legislature alone.
Daniel M. Burns was called to the
stand. He stated that he had not been
a candidate for the United States sem
atorship until the day after Christmas.
He had subscribed money to the regular
campaign fund, but had assisted no as
emblyman or senator to make his can
Vass.
U S. Grant, Jr., took the stand after
Burns. He admitted having Milton J.
Green as a sort of political manager. He
had supplied Green with money to be
expended in a legitimate way to secure
the election of a Republican legislature.
Green had made no accounting to him,
but would do so when the campaign was
over. He admitted having advanced
money to Speaker Wright.

order that 1.-The noble organ grinder,
in the event of ultimate succession to
the title and entailed estates, might
benefit as little as possible. At one time
the courts refused him a certificate of
discharge in bankruptcy on the ground
of unjustif1able extravaganza in living.
He made no secret of the reason for his
prodigality. The old earls hatred for
him whom he called the imposter" was
intense and his animosity extended to
the wife of the claimant, who has in
variably accompanied him with the
piano on the streets of London. Some
years ago the claimant and his wife
were in the habit of taking the organ
each day to a position in front of the
earl's town residence at Queensgate and
playing airs which, whether the organ
grinder intended it or not, had a pecuI-
iar1y maddening effect upon the earl.
Lord Poulette died uncertain as to what
would be the outcome of his lifelong
efforts to defeat the aspirations of
Elizabeth Newman's son. The child
was born in wedlock and the claimants
legal advisers have all along assured
him that his claims to the succession
can not be defeated.

NOBLE ORGAN GRINDER.
A Street Musician Inherits an EarPs
Title and Estate.

London, Jan. 24-William Henry, Earl
Poulette, died in this city in his 72nd
year. 1t is probable that the succession
to the title and estates will be disputed.
The deceased earl was thrice married.
According to gossip he made a wager
when harum- scarum youth and trav-
cling about that he would marry the
first woman he met on landing in Eng
land
Accordingly, at Port Sea, in 1s49, he
married Miss Elizabeth Virginia New
man, daughter of a land port pilot.
Within a few months she gave birth to
a son whose paternity her husband de-
MED. The couple from that time lived
apart, the wife dying in August, 1871.
The child, who now calls himself Wis
count Hinton and claims the succession.
has long been living on the streets of
London as an organ grinder, and his
pretensions were always sternly repu-
dated by the deceased earl. About six
weeks after the death of his first wife,
Lord Poulette married Miss Emma So
phia Johnson, who died in 1876 without
issue surviving. In 1879 he married Miss
Rosa De Melville, daughter of Alfred
Hugh De Melville, and their son is gen.
orally recognized as the rightful heir.
The long standing quarrel between the
late Earl Poulette and the organ grind
ing viscount has furnished the material
for many a London sensation. Only a
month ago the claimant to the success
sion issued an appeal to the public to
take a philanthropic Interpretation of
the condition of the poor among whom
prefaced it with a brief biographical
statement which is interesting just now
as likely to form the basis of important
litigation between him and the son of
the late earl by his third wife. In the
course of the appeal the noble organ
grinder, as he is known in London,
said:
Il am Viscount Hinton, William Tur-
nour Thomas Poulette, eldest son of
Earl Poulette of Hinton, st. George,
Somerset. On the death of the present
earl, against whom I have no enmity,
whatever, 1 expect to inherit Hinton,
st. George, still magnificent domain
of 900 acres. The estate is worth G12,-
600 pounds per annum, which 1 shall
some time enjoy.
Il am now learning a phase of life
among the London populace which I
believe few members of the nobility
have had a chance to know. When
take my seat in the house of lords L
| think shall come equipped with bet
ter understanding of it's duties toward
the public than had squandered pat
rimony or idly wasted an inheritance.
AS one of the thousand or more organ
grinders in London, I should say that
the proper housing of the poor was more
| important just now than the multiple
cation of warships or the adoption of

The Earl Poulette conscientiously in
volved himself in debt, sold every fam

Colonel Ray who is in command at Guam

Berlin, Jan. 42.-The United States am
baSsador Mr.. Andrew D. White, up to
this afternoon, had not received instruc-
tons from Washington in regard to the re-
cent troubles in Samoa. The National
Zeitung declares that no suggestion of a
conference the subject of Samoa has
yet been made by any of the governments
interested
The foreign offices dispatches today give
important details of the disturbances. 1t
appears that the supreme court at Apia
was not closed by the German consuPS or
der, but by the order of the Samoan gov
eminent. 1t is said that the German con-
sui was not even present when the Incl
dent occurred.
The officials of the foreign office in
formed the correspondent here of the As

warships had been ordered to Samoa.

at Washington will make advances to
