cent from an illness which, il was fear
ed might have kept him out of the COM
ing political developments in this state,
in which his experience is so necessary.
Mr.. duBignon, as chairman of the Dem
ocratic State Executive Committee, had
a responsible duty to perform, the sue
cess of which is due to his firmness I'M
der a pressure which might have moved
a less determined man. An example of
the excellent work which has been per-
formed is found in Crawford county,
where the solicitor generalship of that
circuit was at stake The report was
sent out THAI the primary in Crawford
had gone wild, and that some 200 unregis-

shows this 10 be untrue, and develops the
fact that the primary of THAI county was

good result can be found generally

Friday May %.
Spirits observation-disclosures the close OF
The week the tu9Bntine market showed
signs of weakening but the closing finds
conditions changed, and the price moving
upward. The opening on Thursday was
steady at ASH cents, and the closing on
the same day firm. To-day the opening
was firm at iSH, and the closing firm at
40. The transactions consisted of 6H casks
sold at 4Sla, and 100 casks sold at the clos
ing at 40 cents.
The effect on Thursday to hammer down
turpentine was not a success. The market
opened steady at 4Slz cents on that day,
with the demand light, and weakening
tend ncies apparent which threatened 10
bring declines. Buyers were Indifferent
and the lack of inquiry led many to be-
lieve the demand light and that the mar
ket was to suffer further losses 1t was a
case of the demand only being asleep.
however, not dead. as was shown by the
turn the market took towards the closing,
when the tone was posted firm, and the
demand such as to wipe up all available
stuff. Not only were producers ready and
willing to apply shipments to May con-
tracts, but local buyers were after sup
plies both for foreign and domestic ship
Inent and the effect supported the market
beyond the possibility of a decline. Trans
actions for the week were good, showing
several round lots to have changed hands.
The receipts of turpentine for the week
were 11,1S3 casks, against ,729 last year,
and the exports $3.50, against BATS last
year. The exports went SIS to New York,
291 to Boston. 12i3 to the interior COZ to
Harburg, 3,453 to Hamburg and 3,1n to
Rotterdam. The receipts so far this sea-
son have been 1921, and the exports 81
675. showing the stock to-day to be 90
$50. The foreign demand is satisfactory to
the trade, though an improvement is look
ed for shortly.
Rosins--The rosin market showed some
strength during the week, and advanced
as to some grades, thereby partially recov-
ering the losses of the week before Bus
mess was in fair volume throughout the
week. Factors were not disposed to accept
bios for less than quotations, and the re-
suits was that efforts to hammer were
not attended with much success. The re-
ceipts for the week were lap, against
1883 last year, and the exports 1885,
against 2,557 same time last year The
exports went 1870 to New York, 664 to
Philadelphia, 4495 to Baltimore, 6s5 to
Boston, 1850 to the interior, 500 to Har-
burg, and 1850 to Rotterdam. The receipts
this season have been 249,305, and the ex-
ports 144 TO showing the stock to-day
,535 barrels.
Quotations-At the close of the market
to-day the following quotations were bul-
leuned at the Board of Trade:

COTTON FUTURES.

New York. May 25.-The great excite
ment that prevailed in cotton circles yes
terday subsidized somewhat to-day yet
fluctuations in prices were frequent and
at times violent The market opened with
irregularity On the first call prices for
the present crop made a gain of 7d20
points, while the advance on the new crop
positions was confined to 2Q5 points. Up
to noon trading continued upon on enor-
nous scale with the room traders dis
trusting their own positions, and making
every effort to even up their interests.
following the late enormous liquidation of
long accounts. The Southern contingent
continued to sell on the same ground that
has dominated their action for a long
time. viz, the fine character of thel crop
outlook and the generally favorable
weather forecast. The bear situation had
the further advantage of unsatisfactory
private cables from Liverpool, Manchester
and Lancashire indicating conservatism
on the part of the consumers, due to fine
crop reports cabled from this side Reports
from spinners and cotton goods markets
in this country were also of a bearish
average. The demand on Change to-day
was very active, largely from shorts to Sc
cure profits; but some of 1t was buying
for reaction on the belief that the decline
of the past few weeks had placed the
market in an oversold predicament.
Liverpool parties traded on both sides OF
the account, but bought more than they
sold. Yesterdays sensational failure was
not a factor In to-day's market The trade
here considers the market 10 be In a more
wholesome condition than at any time
for months past and further sensational
features, of financial kind, are no longer
looked for. Advices from the South ns
well as from the English cotton market,
olso pointed to a more treasured feeling
At the best point of the day May showed
an advance of 80 points, while the rest
of the list showed gain of 6921 points.
The market was finally quiet at net
gain of lS022 points on neor months, and
3G7 points on August, and later positions.

Melrose, Mass, May 23.-Another grue-
some cemetery dissertation has just come
to light Fifty years ago the Upham fam
lily, among the earliest residents of Mel
rose, had private cemetery near the end
of what is now called Foster street A
large vault was there, which few years
ago was closed up with masonry when
it was found that burglars were using the
place as a storage for booty.
For the past few days people have no.
ticed that the small boys of the district
seemed to be congregatlng there in great
numbers and upon investigation it was
discovered thet the vault had been broken
open and the collins torn apart, leaving
the skeletons scattered about on the floor
About twelve bodies were entombed there
and the collins originally were placed on
end, but the vandals have thrown them
down and broken everything it was pos
sible 10 break. The boys used the tomb
for a playhouse, and many times they
to pieces and using the bones as if they
We're common sticks of wood. Again they
used the skulls for footballs.
A large opening has been made in the
top of the mound by which one gan east

looking in Is a CHASTITY one. No casket
remains intact. and it would be impossible
to find a perfect skeleton, as most of the
bones have been carried away. The tomb
is situated on a hill within fifty feet of
the electric car tracks and the opening
can plainly be seen from the cars. The
Board of Health has cleaned the place

J.Newton Hathaway, M.Ds,n for n

J.NewtOn Hathaway, MD son for my sue
cess: l have made it q rule, since
the time when l entered college, to
make a study of one class of diseases at
time and to perfect treatment for that
class before l took UP another; and be-
sides this l have limited my practice eX-
clusively to chronic diseases.
But there are certain diseases which can
not be successfully treated by them
selves alone; the diseased condition of one
organ or part of the body will surely in
time communicate itself to some other or
gan or portion of the body. Hence. the
specialist who Is best able to treat dis
eases of a chronic nature is he who Is ia
miliar with the diseased conditions which
are liable to become seated In ell parts
of the body.
It is not sufficient to alone treat the
manifestation of the disease; it is neces-
sary 10 go deeper and be able TO cure the
underlying cause.
Chronic Diseases Specially.
Having confined my speciality to chronic
diseases, which act and react on each OH
err and having had the privilege of seeing
and treating and curing al, the different
forms and stages of these diseases, if
am to be accredited with even common
natural ability, l ought to-day to be sue
cessful beyond those whose opportunities
have been so much less.
! doubt if any other physician in the
world has treated so many cases, along my
special lines, as ! have. l have been
treating these diseases continuously for 20
years, day in and day out. l make no
boast of this; l simply state a fact that
none can dispute.
Constantly Learning.
Another thing which I have done: 1
have tried to learn something new every
day about the diseases which / treat and
about remedies which would best reach
and cure these diseases. 1 am sorry to say
that most doctors make up their minds
when they graduate from a medical coll
lege that they know all that can be known
about medicine and they go on in this
way until the end, with longer record
of failures than of cures.
New and Exclusive Methods.
Many things about disease and its treat
ment which | learned in the colleges from
which graduated have been of very great
help to me in my practice since. but every
method of treatment which l use to-day
for the different diseases which l treat
and every combination OF remedies, l. of
my own discovery. l long ago threw old
methods aside; long ago discovered that
ever ycase must be specially studied and
specially treated.
This, briefly, has been the chief cause OF
my success and is the reason why to-da
l can so confidently promise cures TO my
patients.
