CHARLES H0YT DEAD.
well Knovn Playwright Passed
Away a. His Home In New HamP-
shire.

Chariestown, N. H., November so.-
Charles II. Hoyt, the well known play
wright, died at his residences here at ITO
o clock tonight of paresls, from which ne
had been suffering for several months
past. Ever since his return to Charles
town after his ralsase from private
asylum in Hartford by order of the court
early In August, It had been known by
his attendants and nearest friends that
his condition was serious and that there
was little or no chance for his recovery,
although Mr.. Hoyt was very hopeful.
Previous to two weeks ago, there APP
peared to be q slight improvement in his
condition, but he had periods Of depres-
sion. After that his appetite failed, and
ten days ago he had bad turn from
which he only partially recovered. This
morning, he suffered relapse, became
unconscious In which condition he re-
NAMED until death came this evening.
MIR. Hoyt had no relatives here and
during his sickness has been attended by
doctors Brooks OF Charlestown and Bill
ings OF Concord, two trained nurses and
DR.. Davis, who had served as his valet
for the past seven or eight years. These,
together with Hon. James U. Lyford, his
legal guardian were in attendance at the
time of his death. 1t is probable that the
funeral will be held Saturday in order to
accommodate friends who may desire to
attend from a distance.

MisSISSIPpI'S GREAT WALL
An Interesting Prehistoric Work the
Origin OF Which Is a Mystery.
lNew orleans PIcayune. }

One Of the scientific puzzles OF the
state of Mississippi Is the Brandywine
stone Wall. It has long been problem
that Is yet unsolved. Some time ago Mr..
Thomas Watson OF Hazlehurst, sent Gov.
Longino pencil drawing of an immense
pile OF stone in the southeastern portion
Of Claibone county, suggesting that the
stone might be utilized In building the
new capitol. In letter whiSh accom-
panied the drawing Mr.. Watson statsd
that these stones piled high on each other
cover an area four miles square. Each
stone Is six feet long, three feet wide and
two feet thick, and they are Joined to-
gether with an excellent quality OF CO.
ment. No man knows how they came
there. They may have been there for
thousands OF years. The builders. the
jackson News thinks, were some prehis.
toric race-it could nut be otherwise.
This structure is supposed to be con-
tinuation OF "the great Chinese wall
which seems TO begin below Raymond,
in the southern part of Kinds county,
and which Is traosaDle through Copiah.

A Professional Nurse Comes Out Squarely
In Favor Of Peruna and Recites Its
Merits in the Strongest Language.

can use who is weak from the after-ef-
fects of any serious illness. sz>Ase-.-
have seen it used in number of con-
valescent cases, and have seen several
other tonics used, but found that those
who used Peruna had the quickest re.
lief. It seems to restore vitality, in
crease bodily vigor and renew health and
strength in wonderfully short time.
Mrs. KATE TAYLOR.
People recovering from the effects of
typhoid fever, malarial fever, bilious
fever and other affections of the Autumn
will find Peruna exactly suited to the
case.
Any one who takes Peruna Is sure
to have good appetite and digestion.
After all il is food and digestion that
build any one up. No one can gain
strength that is good for anything on
medicine alone. All that medicine can
be made to do is to assist in the proper
assimilation of nourishing food.
This is exactly what Peruna will do.
Thousands of people testify TO its merits
IN this particular. Old invalids of all
sorts who are all run down for want of
proper nutrition will also find Peruna
