Robbed the Grave.

A startling incident of which MIR
John Oliver of Philadelphia. was the
subject, is narrated by him as follows:
"I was in a most dreadful condition.
My skin was. almost yellow, eyes
sunken, tongue coated, pain contin-
ually in back and sides, no appetite
gradually growing weaker day Dy day.
Tass FarDIv physicians 9end had .Svsao given me svH np
Electric Bitters,' ant to my great joy
and surprise, the first bottle made a
decided improvement. I continued
their use for three weeks, and am now
q well msn. I know they saved my
life and robbed the grave of another
victim" No one should fai! tc try
them. Only so cents per bottle at

THE utterances of papers so dis
reputable IS the New York Sun can
net affect the fame of Gen. Robert E.
Lee. and indeed if his name should be
omitted from the "Hall Of Fame" his
name would not lose its greatness.
The greatness OF Robert E. Lee is
fixed. It does not need "Hall of
Fame" TO estsblish if. The so-called
"Hall of Fame" will amount 20
nothing anyway. TIL. names selected
show that it is peculiarly sectional, and
posterity will nste this when they

SOME CONFLICTING VIEWS.


The Literary Digest has been pub
lishiug some OF the political utterances
Of prominent men of the country, and
it is interesting to note how they dis
agree.
Mr.. Wayne MacVeagh, who was At
torney.General in President Garfed's
cabinet, but supported Mr.. Cleveland
in 1892 and appointed by him ambas-
sador TO Italy, takes strange view:
He says: "Nor can belie7e anybody
with ordinary common sense is in
danger of regarding President Nc.
Kinley's reelection as an endorse
ment of the war in the Philippines"
and he mentions Senator Hoar's aup-
porting Mr.. Mckinley "to show the
fqtility of pretending" that the elec.
tion of Mckinley would be an en-
dorsement of anti.imperialism, "a
policy to which so many of" McKin-
ley's supporters are irrecoucilably
opposed" Mr.. MacYeagh further
takes this strange view, which would
lead one to suppose that lie was a
man without ''or linary common
sense" He says: "The larger the
anti.imperiaEist vote tor President
McKinley, the sooner will the nation
return to its true mission" How in
the name of common sense could I'm.
perialist Mckinley tell how many
anti-;mperjalists voted for him, even
if be was disposed TO modify his
views to accord with those of his sup
porters? McKtnley!sm is i'm Imperialism,
and vote for Mckinley is vote for
imperialism. There is no way ont of

Nurses who serving in hospitals in South
Africa say # IS astonishing how severely wounded
many Of the soldiers be and still live An
ADDED discomfort from which the wounded suffer
is the intense heat. At Pietermarltzburg the

degrees is considered cool

After a battle nurses and surgeons are on duty

OF suffering are called. In all cases the men con-
slider Il disgrace to be i'll of typhoid dysentery,
and would rather be wounded. They say the most
awful experience is lying wounded the field
after battle waiting to be picked up, and
dering If they will be found all. Sometimes 1t
is claimed that they endure forty-eight hours Of
this suspense
Women nurses not permitted 10 serve IN sta
ionary hospitals at all, while in base hospitals
only four allowed for every hundred beds.
At Mafekng Lady Sarah Wilson is in charge Of
the auxiliary hospital It is said that where
women nurses employed they give their pa
tients unstinted and sympathy.
The English ambulance trains used IN South
Africa declared be models Of comfort and
common sense. each being splendidly equipped
with kitchen, pantry and dspensary. The hunks
are arranged on either side Of a narrow centre
