The Eminent Kidney
and Bladder Specialist.

There is a disease prevailing in this
country most dangerous because so decep-
tive. Many sudden deaths are caused by
t-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.

and urinary troubles. II has cured thousands
OF apparently hopeless cases, after all other

Not a Modern Wrinkle.

The idea OF reciprocity in the trade OF
nations is not a new one. CORE
spondent of the Rutland Herald has
found this quotation in the Spirit OF
Law" written by Montesquieu, nearly
200 years ago.
LAS this nation (the French) has many
superfiuous commodities, II must want
also a great deal of merchandise which
the climate will not produce. 1t has,
therefore, entered into a great and nee
essary commerce with other nations; and
making choice of those states whom 1t is
willing to favor with an advantage COM
merce, it enters in such treaties with the
nation it has chosen as are reciprocally
useful to both"

Among the crimes alleged against Miss
Jane Toppan, the nurse who is said TO
have killed about a dozen persons, is that
of the murder of Mrs. Edna F. Banister
of East Randolph. Mrs. Banister visited
her brother in Massachusetts, during
August. Miss Toppan was at the same
time stopping there. Mrs. Banister was
taken i'll suddenly and died of supposed
heart failure. Her body was brought to
East Randolph for burial. No move has
been made yet to have 1t exhumed for ex-
animation. Cases like these have been
very numerous, and finally Miss Toppan
was arrested for the murder of a woman
named Gibbs at Cataumet, Mass.
John f. Kimball was tried at the June
term of Orange county court and found
guilty of adultery. He took exceptions to
the supreme court, giving bail for $4,000
When the case was called in supreme
court at Montpelier last week, Kimball
was not present. The court, as the law
directs in such cases, declared the excep-
tons waived, the bonds forfeited and the
respondent was remanded to county court
for sentence. Many expected that John
would not be seen in these parts again
and there was considerable surprise when
he alighted from the train here Mon
day. Machinery was at once set in mo-
ton to apprehend him but the legal skein
required some deXterous handling be-
fore 1t could be unwound. Finally, on
the county clerks warrant Kimball was
arrested by Officer Clark and held until
Deputy Sheriff Adams of Chelsea came
for him Tuesday. He was then taken to
Chelsea jail, where, If nothing unforeseen
prevents, he will remain until sentenced
at the December term of county court
The maximum sentence that can be inn
posed is five years in states prison.

1t singeth low in every heart,
We hear Il each and ALL
A song Of those who answer not
However we may call
They throng the silence of the breast;
We. see them as of yore,-
The kind, the true. the brave, the sweet,
Who walk with us no more.
'Tis hard to take the burden UP,
When these have laid It down
They frightened all the joy of life,
They softened every frown.
But, oh! tbs good to think of them
When we are troubled sore;
Thanks be to God that such have been,
Although they are no more!
More homelke seems the vast unknown,
Since they have entered there;
To follow them were not so hard,
Wherever they may fare.
They cannot be where God is not

Whate'er betides thy love abides,
Our God for ever more

Death of Ii Hung Chang.

Ii Hung Chang, the great Chinese
statesman, the Bismarck of the East,
died Thursday morning at Pekin in his
S0th year. He won his way in his youth
by his superior scholarship to an appoint
ment under the military secretary, and
he first attained fame as the leader who
suppressed the TAPPING rebellion. AL
though it is pretty generally understood
that the achievements of the American
Ward and the Englishman Chinese"
Gordon, in this war were really what
turned the tide against the Taipings, Ii
Hung Chang got most of the glory and
the rewards.
AS a reward for his services in sup
pressing the Taipings, Ii Hung Chang
was made in succession governor of the
provinces of Fuhkien and Kiangsu. In
1867 the Shantung rebellion broke out and
Ii again took the field and again defeated
the rebels. In 1870 he was elevated to the
ViceToyship of Chill, the most important
viceroyalty in China, because 1t lies be-
tween the capital and the sea, in other
words between the capital and the outer
barbarlans In 1876 Ii Hung Chang again
distinguished himself by his efforts to
cope with the great famine, and four
years later he was made grand secretary
of state and became the virtual head of
the Chinese Empire
At the time of the outbreak of the war
height of his power, and although the
Chinese disasters resulted in some out
ward signs of disgrace visited by the
court upon him, 1t nevertheless was Ii
Hung Chang who negotiated for China
the terms of peace with Japan. In 1896
Ii Hung Chang made a tour around the
world. visiting the principal capitals of
Europe where he was received with great
honors, notably in Russia. In this coun-
try he was received with great demon

FAMOUS NINTH INFANTRY.
Men Who Fell Before Filipinos Were
 of a Historic Command.
Baltimore Sun.

Baltimore Sun.
 Few rcgiments in the United States Army have had as notable histories as the Ninth Infantry, to which belonged the company so disastrously defeated by the Filipinos near Balangiga. In It's ear h.r career it was especially identified with Maryland.
 Under the authority granted to the President by the Act of Congres of July 16. 179S. to raise twelve additional regi ments of infantry the Ninth came into existence in Janulrv, 1799 with Josiah Carville Hall. of Maryland. as lieutenant colonel ct mmandant All of the officers were appo inted from Maryland. and an or6er from the War Department of Jan uary 5, 1900. directed that the regiment he recruited in this State.
 It was the disappointment of Colonel Halls life that he could not lead his regiment into active service. That honor first fell to Col. Simon Learned, of Mass achusetts who commanded the regiment In the hot fighting with the British troops around Nis gart Falls in the war of 1872. Colonel Learned was succeeded by Col Truman B. Ransom. who was killed while ls adinR his men in that charge, which for gallantry Fas but few peers-the at tacking and the storming of the citadel at Chapultepec. The Ninth lost many a gallant soul on that day, and as tho re- suit of its fighting Ma j0r- General Pillow. aftcrward of Confederate fame, named 16 officers and Il enlisted men for conspic- uGus bravery.
 The old organization saw other severe nghting at San Antonio. Churubusco and Moline del Roy. After the capture of the City of Mexico there was but little rest Tor this battle-tried command. It was jumped to Northern California and to Oregon, where 1t entered upon Indian campaigning of a trying kind. The reg iment did not take part In the Civil War, but remained in the Northwest fighting Indians.
 The Ninth fought under Crook during Ing the Big Horn and Yellowstone expe- diticns. It was in the hottest of the fighting at Slim Buttes, Tongue River and Rosebud. In September of the year In which Custer met his fate-1S76-the Ninth Regiment was cut off for a long time from it's supply base, and the off cers and men lived for weeks on mule meat, with an occasional bit of horse flesh as a delicacy.
 The recent fighting in China furnished another notable opportunity for the Ninth. It was one of the first American commands sent there and arrived at Che flu early in July. 1900. The regiment lost heavily at Tientsin, its colonel, Emerson H. Liscum, being killed July B. During the subsequent operations the Ninth bore a conspicuous part After President Nc Kinley decided to withdraw the Ameri- can troops from China the regiment was sent to the Philippines. It did provost duty at Manila for a time and a battal- ion of 1t was recently sent to Samar

The week, as a whole, was rather fa- vorable for harvesting, though too cool for maturing crops, the temperature av- eraging several degrees below the nor mab and, on Friday and Saturday, quite general rains interrupted picking of cot ton. while in some northern, central and eastern counties the rainfall was slightly excessive and damaging to open cotton. However, the week closes with fair weather prevailing, and harvesting of the staple croos has been resumed. Cotton is opening freely, some correspondents re- porting the bulk of it open, and picking is being pushed rapidly; the bolls seem well filled with seed, but the lint is gen. orally reported. light, and reports agree quite generally that the yield will be con siderably below the average: there is practically no prospect of a top crop; damaging conditions, such as> shedding. rust rot and boil worms are not as prev alent as during the previous week, though, where the rainfall was heavy. damage by rot is still quite general Corn Is still being gathered, with no improve ment in yield, which is generally light
