One governor OF Texas thought it worth while to
call special session of the legislature to stop prize
fight and the State Endorsed his action. Galveston,
and not Galveston rowdes either but represented by
many of her best citizens, only promoted felony

pugiliss and this against instructions from the court

large sums money to professional pugs to amuse a

ship was defiance of the proprieties, of common de-
cency and painful memories that must have shocked
more observers than Governor Sayers.

FROM DEATHS DOOR.

/ Hillsdale, ILL.,, April 29th.-Much in
terest has been aroused here over the
case Of William Marks, who has been
in a dying condition for several months
with an apparently incurable Kidney
Disease.
The leading physicians Of this place
had pronounced his case a hopeless
one, and others from Port Byron, Cen
eseo, and Davenport, Iowa, had at
tended him, and in a consultation de-
cided that he could not live.
In desperation, his nephew inquired
Of Mr.. L. F. Giles. a local druggist, as
to last resort. Mr.. Giles suggested
Dodd's Kidney Pills, remedy which
had just been introduced here.
The results were marvellous. Mr..
Marks Immediately began to improve,
and within few weeks was able to be
up and about, completely cured.
His cure is the talk of the neighbour
hood, and is considered nothing short
of a miracle.
There appears to be no doubt that
this new remedy, Dodd's Kidney Pills,
will cure any case of Kidney Disease,
for the more malignant forms, such as
Bright's Disease, Diabetes, and Drop
sy, yield readily to its remarkable In
fluence. These forms Of Chronic Kid
ney Disease have hitherto been consid-
cred incurable, and have baffled all
medical skill. and yet, this new remedy
has cured every single case in which it
has been used in this neighborhood.
The doctors themselves are amazed at
the wonderful work Dodd's Kidney
Pills are accomplishing in Rock Island
Couny.

Harper's Weekly, as follows:
He Is not police reporter fir lack
OF opportunities to do other things, but
because that is the work which is most
congenial to him and fits in best with
his chief interest in life, which is the
promotion of the health, comfort and
improvement OF the poor of New York.
He Is a Dane.
The king Of Denmark conferred an
honor upon him last summer, and IL

cluded orders. he would have pecks of

lions him in a current magazine as the
most formidable opponent that the evils
OF the New York slums and tenement
houses have ever encountered, and
quotes a man well qualified to pass
Judgment as naming him the most
useful citizen of New York This is
af1luent measure of praise, but it can't
hurt Mr.. Riis, who Is not working for
praise, but, apparently, out of respect
for the requirements of an imperative
altruism, which keeps him loving his
neighbor and working to help him, in
the face Of the fact that other jobs
yield so much more money.
Nobody ever says of Mr.. Riis that
he means well, or that he is kind
man. but impractical. He has done
wonderful things already for the East
Side in the way Of promoting the sys-
tenn Of small parks and the destruction
OF some of the more hellish habitations
If he lives long enough, and has the
right sort of city government to help
him, he will be notable power in the
accomplishment of things more won
