There is disease prevailing in this
country most dangerous because so decep-
tive. Many sudden deaths are caused by
it-heart disease pneumonia, heart failure
or apoplexy are often the result Of kidney
disease. If kidney trouble is allowed TO ad-
vance the kidney-poisoned blood will attack
the vital organs, or the kidneys themselves
break down and waste away cell by cell.
Then the richness of the blood-the albumen
leaks out and the sufferer has Bright's
Disease, the worst form Of kidney trouble.

covery is the true specific for kidney, bladder
and urinary troubles. 1t has cured thousands
OF apparently hopeless cases, after all other
efforts have failed. At druggists in fifty-cent

THE WAY OF PROGRESS.
There Is n Chance For Every Town
To Move EOrNnrd.

There Is n Chance For Every Town
to Move Forward.
In almost every small town there is
anxiety as to how to thrive. There
are idle people for whom employment
is necessary, there is some local capital
looking for investment and there is
some business talent ready for develop
ment.
The plan recently put into operation
in Lavonia, Ga, furnishes an example
for other towns and industries. There
is hardly n community in the country
that cannot find some outlet for its en-
terprise.
Lavonia is a small town in Georgia,
rather retired in location, but with an
eye to business. 1t is now cotton fac
tory town, with a cotton factory presi-
dent and board of directors whose IL
ties read just as big as if it were stu
ated in some great center OF industry.
Several hundred persons will find sup
port. and Lavonia will be the gamer by
that number
The mill is one of 5000 spindle pow
er, an excellent size for small town,
or even 10000 spindle mill would be
better. since the same administration
expenses would cover the extra 5000
spindlcs. One mill. then, of 10000
spindlcs. or two of 1000 each, with the
one superintendent to cover both, would
be the ideal plan. The two mill system
would set to work two enterprises
which could grow and grow. But who
can set the limits of possibility?
Every bale Of cotton raised in the
south has to he manufactured some
wherein England, in New England
why not right here?
VIII not some enterprising young
man in each town of 200 inhabitants
study out this possibility? He may be-
come mill president.

VILLAGE IMPROVEMENT.
Spread of the Work of Identifying
Towns md NiIIngcs

The work of improving and beautify-
ing towns and villages is not confined
alone to local associations, says Velma
G. Melville in The Housekeeper. The
great lines of railway are now begin
ming to take it up, as is evidenced by
the Seaboard Air line, one of the great
systems of the Atlantic coast. \ sub
agent was appointed in each town and
village along the route to cooperate
with the general agent of the company
Then the company made object lessons
of its stations in each town These
movements acted like charm, and VII
lage associations sprang up every
where under the leadership of Mrs.
Eugene b. Hurd, who was invited by
the officers of the road to go from place
to place for the purpose of helping or
ganize it's associations. TO facilitate
the movement the company scattered
loads of literature in the various towns
Thousands of circulars were distrlD-
uted asking people to whitewash their
Imprinted fences and outbuildings and
giving the recipe for the hot whitewash
used by the government on the Whlte
House and on the lighthouses along the
coast.
A railway company in Indiana Is
grassing its roadside and planting
trees. and there are some railway sta
tions in Michigan so beautiful that the
traveller passing through carries with
him q never to be forgotten picture.
The morning after the organization of
an improvement association in Wyo-
ming, O., 400 trees were set out. This
beautiful town further deserves notice
on account of its streets being circular
instead of straight, which allows of a
large number of oval and wedge
shaped parks.
There is no doubt that this movement
for the identifying of towns and vii
lagos has come to stay. That the people
are ready for it is proved by the enthu
siasm that is aroused wherever the
work is presented. Editors all over the
country are taking it up, and journa
devoted to Horticulture has lately ISSUED
q call for n convention to be held fol
the purpose of forming n nationa
league of village improvement associa

Rural Mail Boxes Protected.

Postmasters In offices from which
rural delivery routes run have been in
formed that the postal department has
adopted fourteen different STYLES of rural
mail delivery boxes, which comply sub
stantlally with the requirements as laid
down by the commission appointed by
the postmaster-general. The fact that
the government designated certain STYLES
OF boxes and equipped the rural routes
with them means that they are now en-
titled to the protection OF the United
States statutes, which provide severe
penalties for wilful or malicious injury
to them or their contents. These boxes,
unprotected as they have been for some
time, were quite frequently smashed and
otherwise damaged by mischievous per-
sons VINO can now be punished by the
federal courts. The law Is as follows
ANY person who shall wifully or mall
iciously iniure, deface or destroy any
pail matter in any letter box, pillar box,
or other receptacle established by the
authority of the postmaster-general,
shall be liable to fine of not more than
$500 and Imprisonment for not more than
three years"

PRETTY MAIDEN.

certain proprietary firm in this city has
had some amusing experiences resulting from
a widespread distribution OF a pamphlet ad.
vertising Its remedies. On the front cover of
each pamphlet is a picture OF a very pretty
girl attired in the garb OF a trained nurse. 1t
is very lifelike reproduction, so much so
that ii has inspired a number OF people to
write and ask for an identification OF the
young lady. This, OF course, has been refused,
although some of the writers have pleaded
with all the ardor of n medieval gallant that
they be allowed to form her acquaintance.
Some Immediately propose marriage, de.
claring that Providence has attuned their
souls with that of the young oman whose
picture is all they haye to help them in esti.
mating her disposition and character. Some
OF the correspondents go so far as to vow
failing health, and beseech that they may be
allowed the services of this trained nurse las
her picture indicates she is), to bring them
back to health and strength. The writers are
many of them, persons of some circumstance
declaring, however, that the young lady's
picture is indicative of qualities she pos
sesses which, they believe, would make an
ideal happy home. Meanwhile, the pretty
maiden's picture will doubtless continue its
heart wrecking effects among the slnguary
impressionable swains who see tn Y

COMMITTEE MEETING.-The COM
mittee on streets held meeting last
night at the Auditors Office, quorum
being present, for the purpose OF c)n'
sidering such papers as had not been
acted upon, and which had been re-
ferred to this committee. Owing TO
the absence of Alderman Hill, nothing
was accomplished, and at Aldermen
Dobie's request an adjournment was
made TO 1880 tonight. The city
Auditor was present for short time to
request the committee TO agree upon
some plaDIto be submitted to Council to-
night in regard TO street work, more
especially that as to street cleaning.
Mr.. Price explained what had been the
method resorted to between the date
OF Engineer Dunn's resignation, April
80, 1899, and Mr.. w. B. Corse taking
charge on May Is of that year, also that
under resolution OF Council the Com
mittee on etrcotg wcro I'm control OF
street forces from October 10, 1892 TO
March l, 1900, the pay roll being ap-
proved by Mr.. B. B. Smith, the then
chairman of the committee. On March
l Mr.. Dunn qualified and was in charge
until May 10, after which no one seemed
disposed to take charge. The Auditor
said it was his desire that ell semblance
of friction be avoided, II possible; be
recalled that come unpleasant words
had been used year ago IN regard to
similar existing state OF affairs, and for
this reason he desired that the commit
tee, and through them the City Council,
arrange matters for at least the cleaning
of the streets. Mr.. Holcombe's resiR.
nation having gone into effect Oh Satur-
day last, and that gentleman having
stated that be did not in any way con-
slider himself connected with city affairs
after 10 o'clock on Friday night last,
and as two persons we're performing
the duties OF foreman of street forces at
the present time, he, the Auditor, would
not pay any persons engaged on street
work after tonight, and had 30 informed
the foremen, as he was unwilling to
take the ssponsibility 10 matter which
Council can and should settle. The
Auditors position is, OF course, the
proper and sensible one, and will re-
ouire some action upon the part Of
Council tonight, and unless it does II
will no doubt cause Mayor Simpson, In
the event OF Councils failure 60 act, to
himself take the matter 10 hand and see
that the streets and alleys be cleaned.

AN UNFoRTUNATE CONDITION OF
AFFAIRs.-SiDcs the building Of the
new track by the Southern Railway
Company from the east end Of the
| Wjlkes.street tunnel to Union street
Mr.. Augustus Dean, who conducts o
sbipysrd On the shore just south of the
B. & o. transfer clip, has bsen subjected
| to considerable Inconvenience by being
compelled to contract his quarters and
remove his piles OF lumber. Besides
this, the shore on which bis shops are
located has been filed with the sarth
taken out OF the cut for the new road,
rendering 1t difficult to get boats which
are to be repaired to his premises. The
river front belongs to the railroad CON-
pany and while Mr.. Dean has lease on a
number OF feet until next November, be
has been apprehensive lest the company
may at that time want the space for its
own purposes. He has accordingly
been looking for another site recently,
but, Notwithstanding that there is
much unoccupied river front, 1t seems
he is having 80 hard time to secure a
place as he would on Pennsylvania ave-
nue. in Washington. Mr.. Dean at first
offered 81 900 for deserted and shaggy
old unused wharf on the. river front,
but had his offer declined. He
subse quently fixed his eyes on 20 feet
OF shore property at the foot OF Gibbon
street, which has been idle since 1865,
when q siw-mill on it was destroyed
by fire, but found that $500 for such an
isolated place would Tot be considered
as bid. He next .drned his attention
to so feet of another barren shore Just
north OF the shipyar6, which has not bsen
utilized for about third OF century,
and offered $500 for it. This was
promptly declined. His last resort
will be an appeal to the City Council
for small strip OF river front at the
mouth of the old canal. Should his PEE
tition meet with disfavor, he may fnd
himself frozen out OF the community, land
compelled to 60 away from Alexandria
altogether. Now the facts recited above
we're obtained directly from the party
interested. They are not overdrawp
and the names of all concerned could
be given. or course everyone has the
undlsputed right to hold and pay taxes
on as much barren shore property as be
can afford. That is an affair peculiarly
his own, but such state OF things
is q great impeachment to city's
growth. There is no necessity for
dwelling on this subject. Other in
stances equally as suicidal have occur
red lately in Alexandria, and If all eli.
gible spots are to be bought up, held
and allowed to 90 to ruin Alexandria
will eventually become as barren of life
as Goose-egg island.
