WHAT A BLESSING.

 What blessing 1t Is.
 Sought after by thousands.
 Many a miserable man Is happy now. Nights of unrest, days of trouble.
 An itching skin disease means this. Itching Piles mean 1t.
 Eczema just ss bad, and just as hard to cure.
 But Doan's Ointment relieves at once, and cures all itchiness of the akin.
 A blessing to a suffering public.
 Here's proof to back our statement. Mir. Samuel Carr, of School street, Haverhill, Mass., says: II procured Doan's Ointment for an eruption on my leg which caused me considerable anxiety. The treatment gave satisfac- tory results and warrants me in saying that Doan's Ointment acts up to the rep resentations made for it."

Again, abstain from those books which are apoiogetic of crime. It Is a
 sad thing that some of the best and
 most beautiful bookbindery and some of the finest rhetoric have been brought to make sin attractive. Vice Is horri- ble thing anyhow. It is born in

In this world 1t Is scourged with whip of scorpions, but after ward the thunders of Gods wrath pur- sue 1t across boundless desert, beat ing 1t with ruin and woe. When you come to paint carnanty, do not paint 1t as looking from behind embroidered curtains or through lattice of royal seraglio, but as writhing in the agonies of city hospital. Cursed be the books that try to make impurity decent and crime attractive and hypocrisy noble! Cursed be the books that swarm with libertines and desperadoes, who make the brain of the young people whirl with villainy!

Topeka, Kan, August 8.-NiElam
J.. Bryan today received the second

States monetary league. this notffca-
ton being given by A w. Rucker.
The ceremonies occurred IN the spa
cious and beautiful grounds Of the
state capitol and were witnessed by a
large number of people.
In many respects the meeting paral-
leied the Indianapolis notification
This waa true to the fact that both
were held in parks. in that the weather
was intensely hot and hat the impa-
rience OF the crowd compelled the
speakers preceding Mr.. Bryan TO cur
tail their remarks. Indeed. not one OF
the speakers was permitted to speak
at the length he a counted pom
and as a result the entire proceeding
covered only about an hour and a ALI.

in keeping with the character Of the
man. The address was elaborate, i'm
pressive, interesting and feIicitous.
The military were there. The people
were there. The noble womanhood were
well represented. Long may the re-
cord Of the celebration be preserved
TO the unborn generations Of North
Carolina that may come in the flow OF
the centuries. Long m a the monu.

voiceless simplicity to the youth Of the

The Cable Line to Taku

Washington, August time
ago il was announced that this govern
ment would cooperate with other gov
ernments in the construction OF a ca
BILE line from Che Foo to Taku and
also of a cable from Shanghai 70 Che
Foo. The sum of $50. 900 was set apart
for thai purpose. The changed condi-
tons In China and the fact that the
land line rom Che Foo To Shanghai
is in operation. as well as a cable from
Che Foo TO Taku. has made this ex-
penditure unnecessary. Major Scrtven

ing up the line from Tien Tsin to Pekin
and funds Were placed at his disposal
for this purpose.

THE OHIO NEGRO MOB.

The south must look to it's laurelS.
The north in ~envious rivalry is striv-
ing to eclipse New Orleans and Georgia
in rioting on account of Sambo n
Josh. The late ~disgraceful affair in
New York, is quickly ollowed in Hill

King ofItaly and the Vatican

How long will the Pope survive King
Humbert? That is a question hat is
exciting attention at the vatican and
in Catholic circles more than any other
just at the present moment. For it is
remembered that Pope Plus TX sur
vived King Victor Emanuel II by ex-
actly four weeks: that King Charles
Albert's defeat at Novara and or less
compulsory abdication conceded with
the flight Of the same pontiff from
Rome in the disguise of a livu.ied ser
want, his life being in danger and his
power overthrown: that Pope Plus VIII
died within a very short time, a few
weeks only, after the demise Of King
Charles Felix, and that Pope Plus VII
died within a couple of months after
the death of King Victor Emmanuel /
In fact, h fortunes of the papacy
have always e SO closely associated
with those OF the royal house of Savoy
that it Is easy to understand the super
stitious belief which prevails at Rome
that the death OF King Humbert will
be followed within a very brief period
by that OF Leo XIII.-Maruuis de Fon-
tenoy in Washington Post.

Danger I'm Electric Fans.

Landlords who don't want to furnish
free TO power with which to
operate electric fans have started
afresh the Did story about the dam
ger of sitting in the draught caused by
these useful, and, I believe, indispen-
household articles. Ny landlord
has gone so far as to remove all fans
from his Railways and even from his
apartments, and the current sup
piled to his tenants has fallen so low
that a S~ixteen-candle power light looks
like a glow-worm. 1t Is true that a
few cases OF rheumatism have been
developed by hot persons sitting or
sleeping in the draught of a fan, but
the lawmakers find 1t impossible TO fill
orders from people who are not afraid
Of keeping cool.
These fans have strange freaks which
only a practical electrician can under
stand. The Aymen would like to know
why there are ten-inch, twelve-inch
and sixteen-inch fans, and no fourteen
inch ones. He always inquiries why
the fan operated by his electric light
will not go when attached to a cell bat
terry, and is puzzled TO learn he cannot
get any wind out of an alternating
current and an "incandescent" fan.
No spectacular feat is easier than
stopping a fan going at full speed by
pressing the thumb upon the blades
near their end, but the novice ALWAYS
thinks the thumb should be inserted
from the rear instead of from the front
A moments thought would set him
right. But he doesn't think. He sticks
his thumb in the wrong way and loses

Captain Henry ]. Reilly, Of the fam
Gus battery F, was killed at Pekin in
fighting the Chinese. He was an Irish
man and most gallant. He was sixty
two n full of fight. He was popular
and fought the south, we regret to say.
A sketch of him says:
'One of it's brilliant achievements
was its forced march to the relief Of
the Rough Riders at San Juan. In this
work In the Cuban campaign Reilly and
his men received commentator from
Northumberland Miles, General
Chaffee and General Lawton.
A FL Caney Captain Reilly declared
he would die a soldier, and when his
battery returned to this country from
Cuba he refused to retire as major by
brevet.
when the order for service in the
Philippines came Captain Reilly was
delighted. Battery F hurried there
and took part in five battles in the
Island of Luzon.
