HER SECRET IS SAFE NOW.
Woman Physicians Death Has
Robbed the World of a Formula
Worth $4,000.

With the death of DR.. Isabel Mitchell,
of this city, in the county almshouse
few days ago there is lost to the world
secret which she had spent years in
perfecting and for which she had re-
fused $4,000.
She was taken to the almshouse hos
pital a delirious sufferer from the gar
ret of a house in which she was prac-
tically friendless. She was a practic-
ing physician for many years, and while
engaged in her professional work be-
came interested in preserving meats
and vegetables without the aid of ice.
After many experiments she finally
perfected a formula which was said to
be harmless to the health of consumers
and the food in which it was placed.
The process was the forcing of ozone
into the food to be preserved.
Confident of the success of her proc
ess she impressed some of the wealth
lest men in New York and Chicago with
the value of it, and often appeared to
be near to realizing a great fortune.
1t had received the Endorsement of such
men as Drs. De Wolf and Gleason, of
the SHlCdSo UodTu Oh Qealtn, ana Dr.
Billings, of New York. F. K. Thureer
and other prominent New Workers.
with William P. Clyde, of this city, were
about to become interested in her pat
ents. She had received offers ranging
from $4,000 to $4,000 for the perpet-
ual use of the formula, but she always
refused the offer in the hope that she
would be able to influence capitalists
to incorporate stock company to
handle the patents.
=, So interested did she become in her
work that the professional practice she
enjoyed gradually dwindled, until,
few months ago, she was without a
patient. From hospital to hospital,
with an incurable trouble, she drifted,
and finally. in little attic, she was
found dying. An effort was made to
influence her to impart the secret for
mula to one who knew her, but she was
? in no condition to give it.
She was removed to the Philadelphia
hospital, where she died, still delirious,
and the secret is lost.-Philadelphia

On the top the hair was cut close

Those whose hair was not long
enough had false queues made OF
stuffed chamois leather with brush OF
hair at the end, and this had to be
spliced onto the hair. For uniformity 3
sake the gunners, ETC., wore false
queues of strong black leather, which
they cleaned and polished like their
shoes. As it was difficult to tie ones

REPUBLICAN LEADERS SCORED.
Mark Hanna and Others Are Making
Frantic Calls.

Those weak-kneed Democrats who
think it is all over but the shouting,
and that Nc cKinley is already as good
as elected, do not get their inspiration
from their reading Of leading Rspubli-
can newspapers. If thsy ara confident
Of victory, they ara carefully keeping
their confidence in the background.
All along the line they are declaring
the necessity for Republican activity,
and even Mark Hanna is calling on the
party to "awake!" The. New York
Mail and Express, one Of the sssunch-
est and most partisan of Republican
organs, declares to its readers thus:
Wake up! There is work to be
done. The enemy, boastful, aggressive
and stealthful, are already advancing
their lines. They see chance to win,
not because Of any strength or merit Of
their own, but through apathy, indif-
ference and overconfdencs on the part
of the Republicans.
Wake up, everybody! Let Us un-
derstsnd that Ne have hard fight on
hand-a fight with an opposition which
is compact, ambitious, supplied with
unlimited funds and resolved to wiz
by fair means or foul, IF the Republi-
cans are to succeed in the coming bat
tie it must be through an immediate
awakening Of party spirit, party loyalty
and party courage in behalf Of living
issues
That is the sort Of exortation that
IS being passed along the Republican
lines. It may be the part Of good poll
tics to run scared lace all the time,
but it is well enough for some Demo-
Gratis to see that the Republicans re-
cognize that they have big fight on
hand, and are by 10 means counting
on a WalkoVer. Let Democrats awake
and 60 into the fight with the pluck
and confidence worthy Of their great
leader.-Augusta Chronicle.

a Rare Instance.

The Philadelphia newspapers recent
ly published remarkable advertise,
ment. 1t announced that Puryis &
Co., of Williamsport, Pa, would pay
in full all claims against the house of
Purvis & Co., which failed in Baltimore
in 1868. The head Of the present
house of PrEvis & Co. was boy when
his father and grandfather tailed in
1868. He started in life with nothing
in the way Of money, but he had good
character, fue stock Of natural sbil-
ity and a determination to succeed.
This he has done beyond his expectati-
ons and nov he proposes to pay every
debt left by his father and grandfather
regardless Of statutes of limitations,
bankruptcy laws and the fact that not
the slightest legal obligation in the
matter rests upon him. This is very
rare case aud in these days sounds more
like romonce than actual fact.

BUNCOED AGAIN.
Spain Unloads Another Gold Brick On
Uncle Sam

The Spartanburg Herald says there
has nerver been an instance In his
tory where nation in defeat won so
much as Spain won when she forced
the United States to war. We came
out the struggle as victor and set re
are burdened by loads almost too heavy
to bear. Spain has come out conquered,
but shorn Of impediments that were
fast leading her tc bankruptcy.
One Of the results of that war was
the purchase by this government Of ten
million Philippines at 50 a head. That
looks cheap enough on its face, but the
man who would go into market and buy
horses at 81 head without inVestigat-
ing them is liable TO make bad bar
gain. 1t turns out now tAat the only
thing Spain transferred to US was the
right to take her place in killing the
savsges. We paid $50, ,000,0 900 for the
privilege Of taking up the fight to con-
quer the people Spain has been trying
to conquer for hundred years.
If there is anything that this govern
ment is noted for, anything that the
word Yankee" stands for, it is shre#d-
ness in driving a trade, and yet we have
been clearly buncoed by Spain. We
not cnly, bought that which was never
delivered, but when the trade was con-
sumated and the money paid it was
found that two islands were not includ-
ed in the bill of sale, and with con-
sumate adroitness Spain raised the price
and instead Of delivering these at 81 a
head we had to pay sl2. We gave
500, 600 for the two islands which to-
gether have population Of 5000
We do not believe any friend of the
present administration can show any
avantage this country can bave by
ownership Of Oriental islands. We do
not believe that the inhabitants Of
these islands can be benefited by be-
longing tous. Aside from the fact
that to embark upon a policy Of lmper-
alism vitiates and destroys the charac
ter Of this government the line Of ac-
tioo marked out by its trainers the pur-
suit Of which has brought US greatness,
there is nothing to be gained morally OF
financially.
The paramount issue cf the coming
campaign IS; shall we con i7ue to be
buncoed by etfete uonarchies of the
Old World? Shall we become the
dumping grounds for European nations
who have tired of trying to subdue
their urruly colonies?

PROPHETS ELECTRIC BRYAN.
What Expsrts Say Of the Coming
Presidential Election.

The men who figure and make esti-
mates on elections are notidle. Though
the campaign is yet in its infancy and
the lines have not been drawn with
sufi ,ient clearness for positive esti-
mates Of the result to be made, there
is no lack Of figuring, nor is there any
lack Of those who predict Democratic
success. ...,:.
Congressman McCulloch, of the First
Arkansas district, has been doing some
Democratic figuring He counts for

tion to the states he carried four years
ago, Kentucky, 13 votes; Maryland, s;
West Virginia, 6; Indiana, Is; Michi-

tiDction Of winning a prize of SIS Of
fered by the Youngstown, O., Vindica-
tor for the closest guess to the vote
of the state Of Ohio in 1896, and who
missed the actual result only 8 votes,
now comes forRsrd with tie follow
ing prediction:
believe Bryan is absolutely sure
of all the electoral votes received in
1896, viz; l76. To this can he added
with certainty Kentucky l3, Mary

MUST TOE TIE MARX
The American Government Makes
Demands on China.

Demands on China.
The following demands on the Chi
nese government have been sent to
Pekin by the American government:
I'VE are avaiing ourselves OF the
opportunity offered by the imperial
edict of the 5sb of August allowing to
the foreign ministers free communica-
tion with their respective governments
in cipher, and have sent communica-
tion to minister Conger, to which We
await an answer:
"We are already advised by him, in
brief dispatch received Aug. I, that
imperial troops are firing daily upon
the ministers in Pekin. We demand
the immediate cessation of hostile at
tacks by imperial troops upon the lega
tions and urge the exercises Of every
power and energy Of the imperial gov
ernment for the protection of the lega
tions and all foreigners therein.
"We are also advised by the same
dispatch from Minister Conser that, in
his opinion, for the foreign ministers to
leave Pekin as proposed in the edict OF
August 2, would be certain death. In
view Of the fact that the imperial troops
are now firing upon the legations and
in view Of the doubt expressed by the
the imperial government IN its edlct OF
Aug. as to Its power to restore order
and secure absolute safety in Pekin, it
is evident that this apprehension is we'll
founded. for if your government cannot
protect our minister in Pekin, it will
presuuptively be unable to protect
him upon journey from Pekin to the
coast.
1--WE therefore urge upon the i'm
perial government that it shall adopt
the course suggested in the third clause
of the letter of the president to his
msjesty, the emperor Of China, of July
%, 1900, and enter into communication
with the relief expedition 50 that coop
Grafton may be secured between them
for the liberation of the legations, the
protection OF foreigners and the resto.
ration Of order. Such action on the
part Of the imperial government would
be a satisfactory demonstration of its
friendliness and desire to attain these
ends. Alvery A. Adee,
Acting Secretary.

he did not think all this talk about 800

there were tigers in both these places.
They are bolder than when be was Gov

There could not be many tigers about
