PLACE HIMSELF RIGHT JOHN ARMSTRONG CHANLER IN CHARLOTTESVILLE, VA. Will Take Legal Steps to Prove His Sanity-Senator Daniel Said
 to Re One of the
 Attorneys.

Richmond, Va, Sept. 20-A Charlottes- vile, Va, special says:
 John Al motrong Chanler, the divorced husband of Amelia Rives, now Princess Troubetsky and who has been lost for nearly a year, many of his friends think ing he was dead arrived in this city this morning on Southern train from Lynehburg, where he has been stopping at the Arlington Hotel for six weeks He was met at the train and driven to the residence of his friend and counsel, Cap tain Micajah Woods. After 8 brief con- sultation Mir. Chanler and Captain Woods took the train for Louisa court house to attend the Circuit Court for appearance in civil proceeding 1t is said, in behalf Of MT. Chanler with reference to certain property in Louisa county in which he is interested His attorneys are said to be Senator Daniel and his law partner. Frederick Harfer of Lynchburg; Micajah Woods. Commonwealth's attorney for Albemarle county. Charlottesville; Armi- stead c. Gordon, City Attorney of Staun- ton, and Augustus Van Wyck of New York. These, it Is said. have with Mir Chanlers approval given out the fol-
 "On the 18th of March. 1897. Mir. Cham Ter, then citizen of Albemarle county, Va, visiting in New York was committed to Bloomingdale Asylum at White Plains. N. Y, on an order of Judge of the Su- preme Court of that State.
 "On Thanksgiving evening, 1900, after numerous fruitless efforts to secure le- Bdl COuHSclg HdNlHB HldHhHeu NO EOETOW from a friend a few dollars, he escaped from the asylum and went to Philadel- phia. There, under the guise of an at- torney representing a client. he submit ted his case to a distinguished neurolo- gist, MT. J. Madison Taylor, and upon Dr. Taylor's expressions of willingness to assume charge of his alleged client. he disclosed his identity.
 Tn order to afford Dr. Taylor ample time and opportunity for observation. Mir. Chanler of his own motion and without compulsion, repaired to a private sanita- rum in Philadelphia under the charge of Dr. Taylor, and remained there for six months.
 During this time a number of eminent alienists neurologists and physiologists were called in consultation by Dr. Taylor and the records of the proceedings in Louisa county disclose the unanimous opinion of all the experts as to MT. Chan ler's sanity.
 Later, having placed himself in touch with his counsel by. correspondence. he came to Virginia and lived at Lynchbure up to September 20, when he returned to his home county of Albemarle, where he Is now, and where proceedings will be instituted under the Virginia statutes to demonstrate before a court of competent Jurisdiction and in an affirmative manner his entire sanity"

to a pressure of thirteen pounds upon the entire mass of blood that Is being press ed onward through the intricate network of the arterial system. In another form of mechanical statement this is an ex- ertion of force capable of lifting lz0 tons one foot high every twenty-four hours. and this tremendous effort Is put forth unceasingly throughout the entire hfe- time.
 It can never be shut down for repairs. but must keep pumping away even while the machine Is being put in order. In view of these elementary facts of science relating to this vital organ of the human body, 1t Is scarcely to be wondered at that we read of so many eases of heart failure The marvel in the case is that such fragile-appearing machine can be kept in constant motion for so many years. And think how sadly it has been abused and overtaxed by vicious indul- gences and pernicious habits
 The heart carries a heavy portion of the burden that men assume in the use of narcotics and stimulants. and 1t IS often seriously hurt by overwork and worry. With proper care this machine should continue in perfect working order for the period of seventy to eighty years. and yet in the average of human exist ence 1t fails to beat In less than forty years. With temperate living and ab- sence of worry there would be fewer verdicts of death by heart failure. Wherefore we should heed the scriptural proverb. Keep thy heart with all dill gence, for out of 1t are the issues of life"

Charley Was Moi nead.

Yesterday morning MT. A. G. Burton, respected citizen of .Talladega, was startled to receive a telegram which read something like this:
 Birmingham, Ala, Sept. Ie. "A G. Burton, Talladega, Ala:
 Send A to pay charges on body of Charley. John Burton"
 Charley Burton is grandson of A. G. Burton and a son of Alonzo Burton, also ceipt of the telegram Mir. A. c. Burton conveyed the sad intelligence of Charley's 8 death to his father and prepared to send the money as requested 1t was found, however, that the pGstofsice was closed on account of the funeral of Mir. Mckinley, and 1t was impossible to secure q money order. so the father and grandfather de- cided to come on over and return with the body. They accordingly came to Birmingham and at once hunted up John Burton The latter was very much shock ed and surprised to hear that Charley, his brother, was dead and became doubtful when informed of the contents of the telegram and shown the yellow missive.
 'I never sent that" he said and then the trio started in to solve the mystery.
 Late yesterday afternoon Charley was found lingering about the telegraph of- fce waiting for response to his teie- gram. He expected to get 1t by wire He was anything but dead and the funeral He had, 1t seems. sent the telegram, but had neglected to say that 1t was his live body which he wanted to ship to Talla- dega, his old home. Before leaving TaI- ladega the Burtons had made arrange ments for the funeral, ordering the grave dug. 1t is stated. and they were overjoyed when they found the youth alive.

TRIED TWICE And Proved the Proposition.

q wish to give my experience with coffee for the benefit of other people. I used cofTee for several years and was a terrible sufferer from dyspepsia. The doctor told me not to use coffee or tea and put me on light diet, and I felt better
 Then I commenced to drink coffee again and had the same trouble come on.
 One day l told friend about it. who said If l would stop drinking coffee alto gether l would feel better and advised me to use Postum Food Coffee In its place.
 tried the Postum but did not like fl. so l told him about 1t and he said i didn't cook 1t right, that is, didn't boil 1t enough and that I should use cream instead of milk, and to make sure I would use 1t, he sent a package to the house.
 After I used that package, would have no more coffee In the house Now don't know what 1t is to have dyspep- sia and I can eat anything 1 also give PeEtum to my two children and they are the healthiest children you could find anywhere The youngest is boy l3 months old and We have been giving him Postum for seven months, three times a day. He weighs 30 pounds, and know that Postum Is what keeps both of them so healthy.
 I think all people who have dyspepsia get 1t from coffee drinking.

Mir Smith said that the pOstoffice had been carried to the doors of 31,Oc0,000 of population who live in the cities and large towns of the United States, but that the large problem remains of carrying the mails to the doors of 2, ,0O0,000 Americans who i've on the farms. He recalled the fact that within the last two years the ser vice had been extended over a territory larger than that of all England. Before the fiscal year Is closed the service will have been carried over 5000 routes. bring ing the postoffice to the doors of more than 6.OO0. 600 people and reaching one third of the population 1t Is intended tc

Captain Harber also told of seeing the Colon inside the harbor at Santiago on the morning of May 2s and said it had remained there until June l. The Amer ican fleet, he said, lay seven or eight miles from the mouth of the harbor at night and further than that in the day time
 Asked concerning his knowledge of the Brooklyn's loop during the battle on Santiago, the witness said he did not see the loop made. He said in reply to questions. that the blockade was main tained by the vessels steaming in col umn back and forth in front of the mouth of the harbor at distance of from seven to ten miles out, the great CT distance being that maintained at night
 Al this distance there was no difficulty in seeing the shore during the day and on clear nights but when the weather
