PASSING of q Grand Character.

From the Philadelphian: 1t is no
common chance that takes away a no
BILE mind, and the world lost a brave,
good, noble woman when Cornelia E.
ScOvel of 4041 Walnut street died last
Wednesday. She was a woman OF
great mental powers, a speaker or
more than ordinary eloquence. In her
youth she traversed a great portion
Of the Holy Land on horseback. She
was the first woman who demanded
the appointment of matrOns at the po-
lice stations, and Mayor William b.
Smith at once granted her request for
this great and humane reform. Over
a quarter of a century ago she mar
ried William G.. Moorhead. one of the
three famous Moorhead brothers Of
Pittsburg. AS a partner of Jay Cooke
Mr. Moorhead built the Northern Pa
cific railway. which developed the
great northwest. Two years after his
death she married James Matlack
Scovel, of whom Secretary of War Ed
win Nj. Stanton said He was re-
garded by Abraham Lincoln as an able,
earnest patriot, devoted to the sup
preston of the rebellion" Mrs. SEQ
vel was woman of great courage.
She many years ago became the cham
pion of the cause of woman; an emil
nent colaborer with that greatest
woman of the nineteenth century,
Frances Willard. She was at the very
forefront of that great organization
for good. the Women's Christian Tenn
perance Union, and many tears will
be shed over this great. good wom-
ans grave by those who knew her best
and loved her most. She was a Pres
byterian in faith, but broad Chris
tian soldier devoted for life to the lib
Grafton of humanity. In Mrs. SEQ
vel's death the poor lost benefactor,
the oppressed valiant friend, and
Gods cause on earth lost brave
champion for the right.

their hands to anything. Why, have

'And what do you infer from that,
Charles?" inquired his wife.
why, my dear. this is near Ban

To make assurance doubly sure, Mr.

Aldrich, Mo-, May 27th.-Four OF the
best doctors in the vicinity have been
in attendance on Mrs. Mollie Moore
Of this place, who has been suffering
with a severe case of nervousness and
kidney disease. Each OF them told her
that she would die
Hearing of Dodd's Kidney Pills. she
began to use them, and instantly no
ticed a change for the better. Her i'm
provement has been continuous since
then. She says that the disease first
manifested itself by the appearance OF
dark spots floating before her eyes.
Her nerves were so bad that many
times they would collapse completely,
and she would fall down as if shot.
The fact that Dodd's Kidney Pills
saved her after four doctors had given
her up. has caused no end OF talk in
this neighborhood, and all are loud In
their praises of this new remedy
Dodd's Kidney Pills-which is curing
so many hitherto incurable cases, in
this state and elsewhere.

refused to give the money to him I'M

his employer wanted the money right

up by telephone at his Office. This
was done and Granger, at the other
end, answered the telephone bell and
said, Of course, that the check was all
right and please hurry and give the
man the money" Then he left the
office without it being discovered that

An EXtranr.Iinary AncfInn

An extraordinary auction is about
to take place at Pesth at the palace of
the late Count Moritz Esterhazy, for
the purpose of the disposal by public
sale of his immense collection of
cigars, which is valued at 100000, this
being the reserve price put upon it.
1t does not consist of boxes of cigars,
but of single cigars of every kind and
quality. Some people collect stamps,
others coins, Others again buttons.
some again collect snuff boxes. But
the late Count Moritz Esterhazy de-
voted himself throughout his long life
to collecting samples of every kind of
cigar from every part of the world and
from the cheapest to the most ex-

1t doesn't seem possible that in this
enlightened age, superstition could be
rife among the educated, but there are.
nevertheless, number of young Wo-
men who converse auently. if not elo-
quently in three languages, and who
read Spencer and Browning and Emer-

their Bible on the table beside the
bed and consult it in the morning

worthy a negro nanny, if their sleep

eyes are fairly opened and look for an

same for days until other troubles
have driven this mythical one out of
her mind. There's one young woman
known TO the writer who never dreams
of young child without shivering and
shaking for days after in fear of some
dreadful thing happening to her. She
has not consulted dreambook on the
subject, and so she doesn't know how
infants and bad luck became connected
in her mind. but nevertheless, after she
has had a visitant of this sort while
sleeping she says prayers of unusual
length and then makes up her mind to
be patient under affections sore. She
IS an intelligent woman, mind you, but
she doesn't attempt to explain the ter
Tor that besets her at this particular

ladder, but her friends do, and make

Italian warships at Toulon might have
important political consequences. The
fact that NJ. Delcasse's visit to st.

engagements for placing the new Rus

upon the financial resources of the

Keeping Country Boys at Home.
Indianapolis News: The drift of
rural population TO cities has long been
a characteristic of recent times Every
census in recent years, both in this
country and in Europe, has shown
the vastly greater growth of cities as
compared with rural regions. If there
were wider intelligence among the
farmers in feeding the ambition of the
young, If they were to give their chill
dren something that they could call
their own, a share in ownership that
they might improve by industry, some
thing that would stimulate ambition
and awaken pride, there would in all
likelihood be less discomfort with
country life and less of longing for the
untried and unknown life of the city.

eighty-one years ago, the old line o.
battleship Ohio was launched at the
Brooklyn navy yard. 1t was for that
day the finest war vessel of its class
afioat, and was famous for its perfec
ton and beauty When fully ready for
sea, it carried 10 guns and spread
10000 yards OF canvass. With its sails
spread it presented the handsomest
spectacle ever seen aflOat.
Our country was at peace then with
all the world, and it was eighteen
years before this vessel was put in
commission or made voyage. 1t
started on its first cruise October Is,
1898. bound for the Mediterranean, I'M
der command of Commodore Isaac
Hull. he who had won renown as the
commander of the Constitution in the
war of 1872

as the old Ohio could sail with favor
ing winds.
The wooden walls of the first Ohio
would be splintered into fragments
by single shot from the new vessel,
while all the guns of the old vessel
that could be brought to bear could
no more injure the sides of the new
than if they were so many pea shoot
ers.
Nothing so wildly illustrates the
marvellous advance that has been made
in the art of naval construction and
naval warfare in the past four-scOre
years as the contrast between these
two vessels.
Nor would it be strange if, after the
lapse Of another eighty years, the
parallel then made would be as much
to the disadvantage Of Ohio II. as ii
is now to Ohio |. Progress is now adj
vancing more rapidly than ever.
