FAMILY FOOD.
Crisp, Toothsome and Requires no
 Cooking.

A little boy down in North Caro'in asked his mother to wr.ts an acco int oi how Grape-Nuts Food had helpe1 their family.
 She gays Grape-Nuts was first brought to her attention on visil to Charl- tte, where he H-ited the Mayor of that cit / who was using the Food by the advice of his physician. She say'. They derive sj much good from 1t that they nsver pass a day without using 1t. Whi e l wac there I used the Food regularly. 1 gained about 15 pounds and felt so well that when I returned home 1 began using Grape Nuts il: tho fam ly regularly.
 My little lS-months"old baby sh rtly af- ter being weaned was very i'll with dys- pepsia and teething. She was slck nine weeks and we tried everything. She be- came so emae; Rted that it was painful to handle her anl we thought We were B. ing to losa her., One day d happy thorgnt urged me to fry Grape Nuts soaked in a little warm milk.
 Well 1t worked like a charm and she began taking it regularly and improve ment set in at once. She is noY getting well and round and fat as fast as pos sible and on Grape Nuts.
 Some t me agD a number of th1 family were stricken with LaGrippe a, the sa me time and during the worst stages We could not relish anything in the shape of food but Grape-Nuts and oranges, eV- erything else nauseated us.
 We all appreciate what your famous food has done for our family

THE SUFFRAGE COMMITTEE
A Member Says It Will Report Tues
 day or Wednesday.


 A prominent member of the Commit tee on Suffrage and Elections. of the Constitutional Convsntion said yester' day that the committee would be ready to report by next Tuesday or Wednes- day and that 1t was expected that eighteen members of the committed would agree on a report and that the other members would make minority reports.
 Many members of the convention and even members of the Committee were heard to express equally as strong doubt as to an agreement being reach ed by a majority of the committee, and that 1t was more than probable that the convention would have to recall the matter from the committee and vote upon each subject separately. This opinion is held by a majority if the committee can agree upon a report.
 In any event the suffrage ordinance is going to provoke much discussion and is going to consume great deal of tho tims of the convention.

 The symptoms of this hideous disease can not be mistaken; eruptions upon the skin, sores or ulcers in the mouth and throat, copper-colofed splotches on different parts of the body and the loss of hair and eye brows, are infallible signs of Contagious Blood Poison. Other and more destructive symptoms follow, of course, as the disease progresses; the whole skin surface is often covered with mass of sores, and even bone and tissue are destroyed.

reads like romance 1t was told by
one of the lawyers representing the
complainants in the suit. 1t is said
that when he left Orange county Wal
ter Newman was an humble stable
boy. He made his way to New York
and found friend in the late Cover
nor Flower. 1t is a well-known fact
that when Flower was a potent factor
in the business of making great for
tunes in Wall street he would take
any friend of his who desired 1t along
with him on great money-maklng
venture and turn him from a poor
man into a rich one. This was New
mans luck, says the story told by the
lawyer. He was put onto a sure
thing" in the market by Mr.. Flower
and gathered in $4,000. With this as
starter he was soon very wealthy. A
good part of his money was invested
in copper mines in North Carolina,
and it has paid well. Then the stable
boy went back to Orange county and
bought up 1,500-acre piece of land,
mad lakes constructed in it, streams
gurgling music to him, trees and flow
ers and hills and little dales to delight
him. B,es~ -
The old-timers gazed and stretched
their necks and declared him wonder
and gathered around his wonderful
place and watched the mansion and the
handsome stables and servants quar-
tiers grow under the workmen's ham,
mers. 1t is also said of Newman that
he always kept special train waiting
for him and that he never bothered
to write letters in the usual way; he
telegraphed them. Schneider & Sons
were contracted with to build an iron
fence with ornamental gates around
the property. They now claim that af-
ter preparing the material their con-
tract was broken. There had been
some delay, which the compliments
claim was not on their part, and the
Newmans declined to have the work
completed. The claim against them
is for $4,006, and a lien against the
property near Somerset is asked.

The Colonial Contingent.

A recent official report shows that
Canada and Australasia have con-
tributed 1882 officers and men for
the South African war, of whom about
$3.50 are still in service. India and
Ceylon also contributed small crops.
OF the Canadians one company was
composed chiefly of persons of French
tongue. This company was at
Paardeberg, where it distinguished
itself. The Importance of the colonial
force is supposed, however, to lie not
so much in its numerical strength as
in the indication it's presence in
South Africa gives of the interest
taken by the colonies in the
maintenance of the empire. Its value
at present is sentimental. England
finds some consolation for her large
war expenditure in thinking that she
has vigorous allies well distributed
over the globe.

A FATAL PASSAGE.
Claim Made That Marie CorreiIi In.
spired Murder.

Marie Corelli, the famous novelist,
was indirectly accused of inspiring
Mrs. Jennie Gorsage to kill her hus-
band during the trial which ended
recently in Mount Vernon, Ore, with
verdict of mansiaughter.
Mrs. Gorsage's attorneys based
their defense upon the fact that she
was reading Miss Corellis novel;
Thelma, few moments before she
murdered her husband. 1t was the
theory of the defense that a particular
passage in the story aroused the wo-
mans fear of her own safety and
prompted her to commit the deed
The jury deliberated fourteen hours In
arriving at a conviction.
Mrs. Gorsage testified that on the
morning of Dec. 4, 1900, her husband,
while drunk and abusive, had
threatened her life, and had told her
that If she ever left him again she
would never again be seen by human
eyes. That night, according to the
woman's testimony, she sat down Is
read Thelma while her husband was
sleeping off a debauch, and came
across the following passage in the
story:
Suddenly she appears no more.
Some one ventures to ask this
Monsieur Guidmar: What has become
of madame?' His answer is brief:
She is dead Satisfactory so far,
yet not quite, for madame, being dead,
then what has become of the corpse?
1t was never seen-no coffin was
ordered-and apparently it was never
buried. Bien. What follows? The
good people of Bosekop draw the only
conclusion possible-Monsieur Guild
mar, who is said to have had a ter
rifle temper, killed madame and, made
away with the body"
1t was after reading this passage
that Mrs. Gorsage arose, went to the
place where her husband kept his re-
yolver, took it, and, going to the room
where he slept, placed the muzzle
close to his head, and fired. When
the neighbors, startled by the report.
rushed into the room they found Mrs.
Gorsage with the revolver in her
hand. The novel she had been read
ing was on a table, open at the pas
sage quoted.
