HE WANTS HIS MONEY BACK.
A Durham Man Who Bought BRIDE ana
Couldn't Get Her.

A man from Durham came 10 haieish
yesterday and consulted an attorney mere
as to how he should proceed against d
woman who had $3.50 of his money
It seems that the fellow was in love
with the woman and wanted to wed her'
She declined the proposition, but nnaiiy
wearied with his Importantly, she toia
him if he'd give her $3.50 she, d marry Lii
He paid the money, but next time "heh
he called he says she refused to see
him, and never since has he been aple
to SO much as talk to her on the subject
of matrimony Naturally he wants that
long and luscious greenback and it was
to find out how to recover it that ne came
here to consult those learned in the law
He was told that if the woman mao
property he could sue for the recovery
of the $3.50.
But. he said she had none, so there
was nothing to be done. Thus the course
of true love continues to clatter along
most unevenly.

many voters within week after their
nomination. This is the proper way
to begin the campaign, and the people
will second this new way of keeping

rendered his resignation to the president
of the Board of Directors of the institu-

Take care of the blood and the body
will take care of itself. It is the blood
which builds the body. The blood in
deed is the body. A sound body must
be based on sound blood.
1t is one of the peculiar properties of
DR.. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery
that it eliminates from the blood the eff
fete and poisonous matter which is antag-
onistic to health. 1t also gives to the
blood those elements which are necessary
to its strength and vitality. Thus by
the use of Golden Medical Discovery I"
purity of blood and power of body have
been attained by thousands of sickly and
scrofulous men and women.
No other medicine purihes thef blood
and builds the body as does the g Dis
covery." Accept no substitute.

Labors Of the Irish Priest for

UNExAMPLED CRUELTY and OUTRAGE
The Catholics Not Ungrateful to
Protestant Patriots.

In his address on "Ireland's Priest
hood" at the Minneapolis Exposition
building on St. Patrick's Day, Rev. ].
M. Cleary spoke as follows:
The history OF no other land furnish
cs parallel to the devotion Of Ire
lands priesthood in the mighty strug-
gle for securing the inalienable rights
of their countrymen. In sunshine and
in sorrow, in triumph and in trial, the
Irish priest was the true and trusted
friend of his grateful people. In the
ancient days of Ireland's glory, when
she was the light that illuminated Eu
rope, and her saints and her scholars
planted the seeds of her virtue and
learning on the banks Of the Rhine,
the Thames and the Danube, it was the
sweet aroma Of the holiness Of Ireland's
priesthood, and the magic charm of the
learning of Ireland's messengers of
peace, that gave to the little green isle
OF the ocean the precious title Of the
Island Of Saints and of Scholars"
The last OF. Ireland's canonized saints.
Saint Lawrence O'Toole, saw with pain
and sorrow the first English invader set
foot on Irish soil. With courageous
patriotism and heroic fortitude the
sanity prelate opposed the intrusion OF
the Anglo-Saxon in the affairs of his
country. From St. Lawrence O'Toole
to Archbishop Walsh, VIC survey seven
centuries of cruel, bloody strife, and the
brightest beam Of light that chases off
the shadows OF all but hopeless sorrow
from Irish hearts and Irish homes is
the Irish priest, keeping alive the fervor
of divine faith, and fostering love Of
mothcrland
But then the soggarths, hcro-soulcd
Did they not spurn the tyrant's gold?
Did they not spurn the chain, the rack,
The spy, the bloodhound on their
track7"

Spencer Wilkinson, the English war
expert. says that Roberts is like
Grant" Far from it. When Lee sur-
rendered, Grant gave him back his
sword and told him to wear it. When
Cronje surrendered Roberts took his
sword from him and kept it as trophy.
And now "the lion of South Africa" is
to be sent to St. Helena for his bravery.
The Irish standard., 1900-03-24

Without the accessories OF art" says
Giles, "of literature, OF schools or COL
lcgcs, without these natural products
OF their religion, when left to bloom in
uncongenial surroundings, the Irish
people kept alive sense of love and
reverence for their faith, unexampled
in the history of the world"
Their noble cathedral domes were
cavcrns in the rock, whose vaulted arch
es rc-cchocd the oceans roar. Their
pointed Gothic temples, that in bright
er days and in happier lands. sent heav-
onward the longings of the soul, were
the thatched little chapels by the way
side, or in the side streets of the city,
from whence most fervent prayers went
upwards to heavens throne from the
hearts of a suffering people. In their
desolation and misery, their religion be-
came the strongest passion in the lives
of the Irish people, and in their love
for their suffering mother they ex-
claimed:
Through grief and through danger,
thy smile hath cheered my way,
Till hope seemed to bud from each
thorn that round me lay,
The darker our fortune, the brighter
our pure love burned,
Till shame into glory, till fear into zeal
was turn'd.
Yes, slave as I was, in thy arms my
spirit felt free,
And blessed even the sorrows that
made me more dear to thee!''
Mistaken men sometimes boldly as
scrt that religion is not liberty's friend,
and that peoples loyalty to their re-
ligious convictions implies disregard of
the duties of patriotism. The fortitude
Of the Irish people for seven hundred
years dispels this delusion. No people
have been so faithful to God; no people
have been SO devoted to their priest
hood, and no nation in the history OF
the world has so nlanfully, patiently
and persistently struggled for political
independence. Let no man dare to as
sert that Patrick's creed, in any land,
is hostile to any peoples just demand
for right and freedom. Let no man
sanction the base calumny that Ire
lands ancient religion, which has ex-
perienced its greatest sorrows in con-
tending for the rights OF the people
against the usurpations of tyrants, is
not the peoples best and truest friend.

A sLooP IN BAD pLIGHr.

Mr.. j. Q. Harris returned yesterday
from Newport News. where he found
his wrecked sloop Cleveland Fitzhugh
Lee in about as bad trim as lie had
reason TO expect from the press ;.c-
counts. The boat had been towed TO
dock In Newport News, and lay with
her decks awash. She was full Of
water to the brim. and her ma9ts and
sail had gone by the board.
Mr.. Harris learned that Il painter in
Scottsvi;le. to whom he sent the sloop
to be refitted, conceived the idea OF
taking u sail in her to Newport News.
The trip was productive Of disastrous
results. During Monday night a squall
threw the vessel on her beam ends and
set the painter ana the painters COM
panion on the trip adrift OH the
matches. After spending the entire
night in the water they We're washed
ashore and made their way home.
Mr.. Harris intends TO bring the
Cleveland home and rebuild her.
