ELECTRICITY AND LIFE.

1t has been demonstrated that an ami
NAL killed by electricity may be brought
to life. An ordinary current does not
produce instant death, and if it were pos
sible to have in readiness suitable APP
paratus consciousness could be restored
by the infusion of defibrinated blood. In
like manner, Hostetters Stomach Bit
tiers, the well known tonic infuses life
into debilitated bodies by revitalizing
and purifying the blood This wonderful
medicine permeates and distributes nu-
tritive material to every part OF the
body. If it's quality or circulation is de-
ranged trouble follows. Constipation,
dyspepsia, liver and kidney disorders all
spring from weak condition of the di-
gestive organs, which affects the blood,
and through it the entire body. The Bit
ters cures all such disorders and is an
excellent spring tonic.

PLATO DURHAM'S PLAN.

In his speech at Winston, Mr.. Gil
ney General, made a decided hit by
basing his speech on resolution pre-
scented in the Constitutional Conven-
ton of 1868 by the lamented Plato
Durham. The resolution was in these
words:
.Resoved. That the white. and
black races are distinct by nature,
and that any and all efforts to abol-
ish or abridge such distinction. and TO
degrade the white to the level of TIE
black race are crimes against the civ
ilization of the age and against God.
Resolved. That the government Of
the United States and of the South
ern States were instituted by the
white men. and that while the lives,
liberty and property of the black race
should be protected By Just laws,
these governments ought to be CON
trolled by white men only
OF course the powers in control at
that time did not look with favor OF
Mr.. Durham's resolution, but today
in North Carolina the campaign is be-
ing waged to carry those resolutions
into effect. There is but one way un-
der the sun to put the government OF
this State in the hands of white men
only" and that is by the elimination
of the mass of ignorant negro voters
from suffrage. Mr.. Durham did not
live to see the day when his states
manship should be indicated. but ms
sons live to take part in carrying
out the doctrine that he fought for
rs a day VIXEN carpet-bag domination
made its adoption impossible. The
adoption of the Constitutional Amend
ment is the only way to carry out
Mr.. Durham's plan.

BOSS RULE IN FORCE.

Il do not know who will be nom:
mated. l haven't talked to the leaders
yet"
Thus spoke, without thought that
he had said anything out of the way,
delegate to the Populist convention
Yesterday. He knew that the conven-
ton would name the "slate" made up
by Thompson and Butler. and he did
not attempt to disguise that the con-
vention was merely a ratification
meeting of the DEGREES of the boss.
There will be no serious attempt 10
disguise the fact that the delegates
were only automatons. Butler or
Thompson pressed the button and Ihe
convention did the rest" From first
to last the machine did not slip a cog.
In Senator Pritchard's room in Wash
ington city. the "slate" was made NJ,
and the obedient delegates ratified
what had been cut out for them. and
then adjourned. They did not have
life or hope enough to make even Il
faint protest. They acted as pail
bearers ut funeral, and went abort
the business of ratification of the de-
crees for the bosses as solemnly as
if they had been burying neighbour.
There were no tears. no levity-only :.
grave demeanor as BELTS pall-bearers
who bury neighbor and say, Well,
well. His time has come and there's
no use to grieve over what can't be
helped"

HOPES SWEET SONG.

North Carolina has been enriched in
many ways through The Kelley Treat
ment administered at Greensboro. Men
bowed for years under a weight of woe
walk erect, women heavy-e eyed and pale
from constant weeping, blush and smile
and are made glad; but these are not all
of it's blessings. The literature Of our
country has been enriched with a thous-
and new expressions and hardly a paper
can be picked up that it does not con-
tain some mention of the treatment. 1t
is being endorsed by our best men. aud
the women who have never give their sup
port unless to worthy cause, are doing
much good in this grand work.

last August. At that time she had sores
as large as silver dollar and she suf-
fered terribly. She was so restless she
could get no sleep and was not able to
eat solid food or grease of any kind Her
condition was indeed pitiable. Her mouth
was burned so that it was perfectly raw
as far down the throat as we could see.
After commencing the Remedy in August
she soon got so she could eat solid food
and anything else she wanted could sleep
we'll at night, and tha sores soon en-
tirely healed. She had not taken a bot
tie before they healed, and she has been
we'll ever since, though badly SCARED from
the burn. / have used it myself for

its praise. My little girl loved to take

EVOLUTION OF OUR NAVY.
A Series of Pictures, Beginning With
the Fleet Of Columbus, Shows the
Changes Made.
Washington Correspondence Baltimore
Sum-

Washington Correspondence Baltimore
Sun
A series of pictures which have been
prepared under the direction of Admiral
Hlchborn and just placed in the circular
spaces above the windows and doors in
his office, represent the evolution Of what
might be called national naval architec-
ture In this country from It's earliest be-
ginnings to It's latest developments, and
Includes representative of each distinct
ype.
Beginning with the historic fleet OF
Columbus-the Santa Maria, Nina and
Plnta-the first vessels, with the excep-
tion of the semi-nlythical Morse boats,
which crossed the ocean and hoated in
our waters, it will be appreciated that
while they were great ships in their day
the largest of them was a mere cookie
shell compared with modern ships. The
Santa Maria, the largest OF the Columbus
fleet, was vessel about 63 feet long and
of about 200 tons burden; the Nina was
not more than 45 feet in length and the
Pinta was still smaller vessel
From the time OF Columbus until the
first naval vessel was built in this coun-
try there is a gap OF two centuries.
This vessel was the Falkland. She was
built in Portsmouth in 1890, the first
ship OF the line built In the United States
and presented to the English government
by the colonists, and added to the navy
March 2, 1895. She was OF 637 IONS bur
den and carried "a guns and crew of
226 men.
Another picture of the series shows the
historic Constitution built at Boston in
1897 and still in existence. She was
one Of the finest lfrigates afoat In her
time and is 175 feet long, 45 feet wide and
when ready for sea drew % feet OF water,
with 22OO tons displac ement. No Ameri-
can need be told her history, which is
perhaps the cornerstone of our naval
glory.
ssFrom the days of the Constitution
there was but little change in type until
the advent of steam and the third pic
ture represents two types Of the earlier
steam trigates the Powhatan and the
/ Minnesota. The former was a side-WheeJ
vessel, built at Philadelphia in 1852 She
was vessel cf $3.50 tons dispIacement
carrying IL guns, and she continued In
service until 1887, when she was con-
demned and sold. The Minnesota was of
a class Of six powerful auxiliary steam
frigates which were In their day the best
war vessels in the world. 10 this class
belonged the Roanoke and Merrimac.
