no outsider could be admitted, as 1t might disturb the rehearsal. The he thought I might have invited Yarmouth to come and not wishing to offend me, he asked me if had I replied: Don't admit him on my account; didn't ask him. The next morning the papers said I had quarreled with Yarmouth. We read 1t at breakfast together. and we roared, fairly roared over It.
 'T was also very much amused at that cakewalk story. A cakewalk you know Is -well-I am very fond of them, but really think the story does more credit to the im- agination of the man who wrote it than to their veracity. No, do not wish to deny it. It amused me greatly.
 ''Yes, I was playing when you entered. I am awfully fond of music and l do a little drumming myself. See all the music lugged over with me (pointing to a large stack of books scattered over the piano.) No, really must be excused from playing any more. I never play in public. People throw bricks at me when 1 do; positively throw bricks at me!'

Extreme luxury and lavishness are not evil dences of cultivation, but of barbarism. The blame for the ruin of many men he lays on the shoulders of people who set them a bad example in these regards.
 For the benefit of young men starting in life he lays down set of rules, the fol- lowing of which he is willing to prophecy will inevitably bring both happiness and success. The first rule is invariably to save 25 cents out of every dollar made. The sec ond Is to have a regular and strictly ob- served hour for rising and to work until the task before one is completed The third is to be honest and brave enough to tell the truth under all circumstances. The fourth is to depend on ones self from the outset and to cultivate the feeling of indepen- dence. The fifth is to take a wholesome in- terest in public affairs, not, however, al- lowing politics or anything else to inteI- fere with business. In addition the man who wishes to deserve and achieve success should be clean and decent in converse tion and conduct, circumspect in his amuse- ments, and avoid gambling of all kinds. He should join church and help to support it. and should give something regularly to charity. He should preserve his health by exercise and should carefully consider be- fore undertaking a college education wheth- CT he is fitted to receive it.
 This Is sound advice though there is nothing new or startling about it. So long, however, as 1t is not more generally fol- lowed, 1t cannot be called to the atten- tion of young men too frequently or too forcibly.

Russell Sage on Saving.
Le Chicago Tribune.

From the Chicago Tribune.
 In the Christmas number of the Satur- day Evening Post, Russel Sage breaches sermon so sound and logical that it is not necessary to admire or sympatnize with the preacher to appreciate the wisdom of his words He calls his paper "The Gospel of Saving" and he takes as his text the dic- tum that thrift is absolutely essential to happiness. Thrift, he says, is the founda- tion of success in business of contentment in the home, of standing in society. The study and practice of th.ift in his opin- ion, should be made part of the training in every public and private school in the country
 It is impossible for any man to get the most out of life if he is continually ham, pered by the lack of money, and no man, says MT. Sage, need be hampered in this way if he starts out, on the simple basis of always living on less than he makes, no matter what that amount may be. He makes allowances, of course, for excep- tions and for -unpreventable accidents, and when he speaks of all men he speaks in a general sense.
 He lays down the wise rule that no man should at any time spend more than is nee essary for decent and comfortable living.

 Miss Fife Evans, a sster-in-law, with the assistance of her two sisters had charge of the babyhood and girlhood days of Hell ena, and her training and education have been almost entirely in the care of her aunt, M = Fife Evans.
 The introduction of the Duke of Manches- ter to Miss Helena was brought about in France by "AIht'' Ellie, and Aunt" Ef- fe has proved as skiilful and successful a matchmaker as any mother could be.
 Eugene Zimmerman disassociated him. self with Alexander Mcdonald and all ac- tive interest in the oil business some years ago and embarked in railroad enterprises, in which he has been successful. He bought heavily of Cincinnati, Hamilton and Dayton stock, and when the road was reorganzed MT. Zimmerman had enough stock to elect himself vice-president, po- stion he now holds at a handsome salary
 A year and a half ago, when pig iron and steel were having a great boom in this country MT. Zimmerman came to New York with a plan to make money out of pig iron. In connection with pig iron mer- chant of New York MT Zimmerman organ lzed the Empire Steel Company and estab- lished offices in the Empire building, Il Broadway.

HOW ZIMMERMAN
 MADE HIS MONEY
Standard Oil, Railway Business and Pig Iron Contributed
 to His Fortune
From the New York World.

From the New York World.
 Eugene Zimmerman, father-in-law O the Duke of Manchester, is a self-mad' man. He was born in Ross County, neal Chilicothe, O., 100 miles from his presen home, Cincinnati, about 57 years old. Hi education was received in the countr! schools of Ross County.
 After receiving a business training such as boys get in a country town, MT. Zim- merman went to Cincinnati When the civil war broke out Eugene Zimmerman enlisted in the gunboat service of the United States navy and served in the Miss issippi River fotilla during almost-the en- tire period of the war. He was honorably discharged with the rank of ensign, and is now a member of the Loyal Legion.
 Returning to Cincinnati at the close of the war, MT. Zimmerman was fortunate enough to meet a former Ross County neighbor. Alexander Mcdonald. Just at this time John D. Rockefeller of Cleveland was looking for good man in the southern part of the Buckeye State to handle the Stand ard Oil Company's product. He met Me Donald and offered him the agency.
 The offer was accepted. Mcdonald need ed a partner. Eugene Zimmerman, his Ross County neighbor, was given an interest, and this business connection was the be- ginnig of No. ZmmoTmas fortune.
 Wealth and prosperity came to Messrs. Mcdonald and Zimmerman without much effort their part.
 MT. Zimmerman married Miss Evans twenty-five years ago, and neither he nor

POINTS OF EXCELLENCE.
A Few Reasons Which are Rapidly Making a New Catarrh Cure Famous.

Stuarts Catarrh Tablets, the new Ca tarrh cure, has the following advantages over other catarrh remedies:
 First-These tablets contain no cocaine, morphine or any other injurious drug and are as safe and beneficial for children as for adults; this is an important point when 1t is recalled that many catarrh remedies do contain these very objectionable ingre- dents.
 Next-Being in tablet form this remedy does not deteriorate with age, or an ex- posture to the air as liquid preparations iavariably do.
 Next-The tablet form not only preserves the medicinal properties, but it is so far more convenient to carry and to use at any time that 1t is only a question of time when the tablet will entirely supersede liquid medicines, as it has already done in the medical department of the United States army.
 Next-No secret is made of the compost ton of Stuart's Catarrh Tablets; they con- tain the active principle of Eucalyptus bark red gum blood root and Hydrastin all harmless antseptics, which, however, are death to catarrhal germs wherever found because they eliminate them from the blood.
 Next-You cannot cure catarrh by local applications to the nose and throat, be- cause these are simply local symptoms and such treatment can not possibly reach tho real seat of catarrhal disease which is the blood; for this reason inhalers, touches, sprays and powders never really cure catarrh, but simply give temporary relief which a dose of plain salt and water will do just as well.
 Catarrh must be driven out of the sys- tenn. out of the blood, by an internal rem edy because an internal remedy is the only kind which can be assimilated into the blood
 Stuarts Catarrh Tablets do this better than the old form of treatment because they contain every safe specific known to modern science in the antiseptic treatment of the disease.
 Next: The use of inhalers, and spraying apparatuse3, besides being ineffective and disappointing is expensive, while complete treatment of Stuarts Catarrh Tablets can be had at any drug store in the United States and Canada for 90 cents.

MANCHESTER AFTER BREAKFAST.
He Wore Purple Pajamas and Was Grooming "Because Love You"

From the New York Sun.
 His Grace the Duke of Manchester arose promptly at 9:15 o'clock this morning He had a light breakfast served in his apart ments skinned through the newspapers, and finally submitted to an interview in his apartments about 1030 o'clock. The duchess meanwhile, had been up, break lasted, and started away to the modiste' s with her aunt, Miss Evans. Father-in-law Zimmerman, too, was up and away at an early hour.
 When the callers were shown to the dukes apartments the duke was indulging in little after-breakfast song. He was seated at the piano playing, and grooming in low voice the song, Because l Love You" His grace was clothed picturesque ly in purple silk pajamas, blue brocaded dressing gown lined with white eiderdown, and patent leather pumps. Between the bottom of the gown and the pumps hashed a rair of marble white ankles-the duke was sockless
 "Really," exclaimed the duke, smiling graciously, q must apologize for my att tire my-er-seeming dshabille. Since l arose I have had every minute occupied with my bath and my barber, you know, and had I waited to make my toilet, l could not have seen you until noon. It takes so beastly long, one's toilet
 T want to ask you right off what this story is of the trouble between Yarmouth and me. Why, we are the best of friends. I did not know he was at the Strollers yes- terday until after l had returned. Then somebody told me that Yarmouth had left just after had entered the room. l said: I'm sorry; should liked to have seen Yarmouth
 Do you know how the story of our tiff started? We were having rehearsal at the Strollers last year, and messenger told MT. Sands that Yarmouth was outside and wished to come in. MT. Sands said that

 You had a horse standing out here?" said the boy as he entered the corner grocery and was asked what he wanted. "Well?" querled the grocer.
 "He was hitched to d wagon?'
 "Yes."
 T came along with tater in my hand" 'Not doubt of it"
 And, to see if the horse was alive, I hauled off and plunked him."
 '"I see. And he as alive?"
 He was, sir. He reared up and then went running off as hard as he could go, and he's a mile away, ard the wagon is all kicked to pieces by this time."
 And, ike a truthful, honest lad you came in to teb me of it and get your re- ward?" queried the grocer
 That's it. sir. You're got some big ap- pies there, and if you think"-

Spain had double our number of

will prove a blessing to humanity in
general, improving the condition OF
the nation, as Hostetter's Stomach
Bitters has that of the individual.
The bitters are for everybody, but
particularly for those who do not
possess health. There have been
many cases of dyspepsia and indi-
gestion cured by this medicine.
Nothing to equal this remedy has
ever been discovered for ailments OF
the stomach, liver, bowels or kid

count of those candidates who are
in the lead now seem to have a walk
over and we suppose all will go into
the convention with enough votes
to nominate, on first ballot, with the
exception of the Office for Attorney
General. Murphy and Chew are
keeping close to each other and a
fight of some note for this Office may
be made.
