The raren. of Dreadfu, Curse.

There is farm in Wisconsin for the
raising of wormwood. from the oil of
which that dreadful drink, ahsinthe, is
procured. The oil has remarkable
penetrating power and for this reason
is much used in the making of oint-
ments.
Absinthe itself is becoming power

such a stronghold in Paris that the

they said they had come down there

proved that they had purchased arms

At last, however, the posse succeeded
in firing the house, and as the flames
got beyond control of the bandits they
broke cover and endeavored to get
away.
In the running fight which took
place the bandits were all killed, with
the loss of but one man on the side OF
the posse.
This incident was only one of the
many in which Paul participated. AS
sheriff it was notable fact that all of
the hardest work of the office was done
by him, and that he never sent depu

He seemed to have no fear of man or

SYMPATHY SEEKERS.
They Are Uncomfortable People, a
Burden to Themselves and Their
Intimate Friends.

Sympathy is a soothing balm for
hurts of soul or body, precious cor
dial for human ills, but, like other
cordials, one must be careful not to
grow too dependent upon it, and be-
come weakly, unable to bear any hurt
without its aid. There are many sor-
rows that bring naturally and gra-
ciously their share of coincidence and
tender ministering, but there are other
wounds and heartaches which no hand
bat that of the Divine Healer should
be allowed to touch, no eye bat His to
penetrate.
Yet there are persons so morbid in
their craving for pity that every woe
must be revealed. The want of har-
mony in the home, the detection of
friends, the faults of husband, wife,
brother or sister-nothing is too
sacred or too private to be uncovered
for sympathy. The habit grows with
indulgence until every skeleton in the
closet, every pickering II the dinner
table, every disappoinsmen and I'M
happiness, is made the property Of the
neighborhood.
Life may be hard, but to rob it of all
dignity mal1esitharder still, while jeal-
ousy and heartburnings increase ten
fold by being put irto words. The
bluff Roman warrior, Coriolanus, was
right; he could bear wounds for his
country's sake, but he could not ex-
hibit the scars to win pity or praise
from the populace.-Wellspr

ADIsT1NGU1sHED MISSIONARY

is at present living at log E. 18th street,
in this city, most remarkable man.
He is Rev. C. H. Thompson, and he
came to Washington from Little York,
Ind, a short time ago.
Rev. Mr.. Thompson spent many
years of his long and useful life as a
missionary among the Indians of the
West. The great exposure and the
drinking of so much bad water
brought on Diabetes, and at Wagner,
Indian Territory, he was struck down
while preaching.
Physicians, one of them a Chicago
specialist, pronounced his case hope
less. Dodd's Kidney Pills were recon-
mended, and as a last resort he tried
them. He was completely cured, and
restored to good health and his case
and it's cure has caused a sensation
among the physicians.

take its course, which quoted its
members and they dispersed. Later
the sheriff went to Edgar and brought
the negro to this city, where he is
now confined in Jail. His wounds
are from shotgun and are not
thought to be serious. The negro
gave his name as Pleyton Payton,

WIFE OF GERMAN ENVOY.
Separates from Her Titled Husband
and Goes Upon the American
Stage

The wife of the kaiser's former spe-
cial envoy to Washington, Baron
Mumm Won Schwartzenstein, now
Germans minister to China, as sue
cessor to the murdered Baron Won
Ketteler, has separated from her hus-
band and gone upon the American
stage. She is now playing a small
part in James K. Hackett's Don
Caesar'S Return" at Wallack's, under
the name of Miss Maude Roosevelt.
She is a cousin of Vice President
Roosevelt, and before her romantic
marriage to the German diplomat was
a Miss Maude Roosevelt lie Vinsen, of
New York. Her marriage was an
nounced in November, 1898, to have
just taken place at Paris, but it now
develops that the wedding was pri-
vately performed at the city hall in
New York city in May, 1898. Baron
ess Won Schwartzenstein, who has
become an actress because she feels
she has a talent in that direction, has
accomplished her professional debut
very quietly, and has endeavored, as
far as possible, to escape the usual
notoriety of woman's passage from
society to the stage.

WOOD RETURNS TO CUBA.
Military Governor Says the Island VIII Be
Turned Over to the Natives About
the First OF May Next.

Washington, Sept. 23.-Gen. Leon
ard Wood, military governor of
Cuba, left here Sunday night by way
of Tampa for Havana. The expecta-
ton of Gen. Wood is that he will be
able to complete arrangements by
which the conduct of affairs in the
island can be handed over to the Gu
bans by the first of next May. The
electoral law which the governor
brought with him for the inspection
of the authorities here is satisfac-
tory to the administration provided
some notifications are made.
AS a result of his talk with the Off
Gals here Gen. Wood Sunday night
expressed the opinion that there will
be no change in the attitude of the
administration toward the Cubans.
but that the policy inaugurated by
Mr. Mckinley will be continued by
his successor.
