Frauds.

Upon the recommendation of Assistant
Attorney General Tyner the Postmaster
General has issued fraud order against
The State Mutual Life Annuity Company
of Illinois, directing the Postmaster at
Chicago to refuse the delivery of all mail
to the representatives of this concern, and
also in accordance with the law to return
the mail that came to the senders thereof
or to the Dead Letter Office when the
sendefb TEere not known.
This concern is one of tho numerous
crop of so-called bond Investment COM
panies which sprang up within the last
two or three years in various parts of the
country, and which as class have hereto
fore been condemned by the Department,
andin several instances by the courts when
brought before them. Agreeably to the
usual custom the officers OF this concern
were notified to appear and show cause
why this order should not be issued. The
appearance YES made by the President of
the company, who discussed its affairs in
detail with the result that a fraud order
was issued. 1t is condemned as a lottery
and also a scheme devised for the pur-
pose Of obtaining money under fraudulent
representations.
The Postmaster General has also issued
fraud order of a similar character
against q. ]. Borden & Co., and The
Louisiana State Loan and Trust Company
of New Orleans, La, who were running
what appeared to be a sort of lottery.

81 consider it a crime to experiment
with the health Of the people," says Prof.
Thomas F. Adkin, President of the Insti-
tute of Physicians and Surgeons. IF I
did not know positively and absolutely
that my new home treatment will cure
every known disease, even when all other
methods of treatment fail, l would con-
slider l was committing a crime to make
such a statement to the public Nothing
is so precious to a man as his health
nothing so horrible as an untimely grave.
Little ills, il not promptly cured, often re-
suit in obstinate chronic diseases. l be-
lieve that my new discovery, 'Vitaopathy,'
Is the most marvellous treatment ever
known, and / intend to give its secrets to
the world. l intend that every man,
woman and child shall know its teachings.
L propose to tell the sick, absolutely free
of charge, how they may be restored to
perfect health. | would rather be bene-
factor to the sick man than to have the
wealth of Croesus."
The above are remarkable words, but
those who know Prof. Adkin, and have
tried his treatment, can vouch for their
absolute truthfulness.
"I was nearly dead with liver and kidney
trouble" writes Prof. John G. Nelson, we'll
known geol0gist and mining engineer, living
in Dayton, Tenn. THE doctors had given
of mind I was in. I could not attend to
business. and began to think my days wers
numbered I read of the wonderful cures
Prof. Adkin had effected by MS great dis
covery, Vitaopathy, and as a forlorn hops
wrote to him just the condition I was in,
mentally and physically. He gave me clear
diagnosis Of my case and didn't charge me
a cent for 1t. He prescribed a treatment
which began with little or no faith, but
am happy to state that am now completely
cured and am a firm believer In Vltaopathy.
From my own personal experience / believe
Prof Adkin can almost raise the dead"
Mrs. A. J. Seifried, Stowe Creek, o.,
writes this grateful letter-'I was affected
with a severe case OF eczema and nettle rash,
which spread over my whole body. The itch
ing and stinging at times was almost unen-
durable. l wrote Prof. Adkfn, and In four
days after began following the free advice
he gave me the itching began to subside and
I was permanently cured. / feel better now
than have for the past ten years. The free
advice Prof Adkin gives Is a blessing to
those who cannot afford to pay big doctors
bills"
Prof. Adkin says: II sympathize with
the sick. want to make every chronic in
valid well. / want to prove what my treat
ment will do. l want every sick person in
this country to write me personally. Tell
me the leading symptoms Of your disease
and | will at once make a thorough dag
nosis of your case and outline a method
of treatment which will positively cure
you. This will cost you absolutely moth
ing. / will also send you a copy of my

Cav. dashed down the road, right in
among the wagons and rebels, firing right
and left, and 1t was but few minutes
until the boys in blue" sent up their oft
cry Of victory, and for the fourth
time that day, the wagon train was cap
tured, but this time, by our friends.
During the melee that followed the
charge of the cavalry regiment, the Quar-
termaster was lost sight of, but as soon
as the firing ceased, and while the prison
ers were being brought together, half
dressed, wild looking man dashed out from
among some wagons, and running up to
dismounted cayalryman, snatched car
bine from his hand, and was off on run
to where the captured rebels were being
punched. Pushing the guards aside, he
placed the muzzle of the gun against the
body of one of the prisoners, dressed In
uniform of a Union Officer, and in loud
and excited tone said, Take off my hat,
off with my coat, now you - rebel, get
out of them pants, if you don't want your
rebel hide so filed with holes that it wont
hold corn shucks."
The Johnny stood not upon ceremony,
but obeyed with great pIomptness, each
command as it was given, tossing the
articles to the Quartermaster, as fast as
they were taken off.

Owing to the recent accident to the
Government transport Ingalls, in dry dock
in the Erie Basin, the party of United

CHAT OF THE CORRIDORS.

Capt c. W. Catlett, of the I'd East
Tenn. Mounted Inf, who was in the city
last week, is fine type of the loyal East
Tennesseans who rendered such splendid
service to the Union. He il descended
from old pioneer families of East Tennes-
see, his fathers ancestor having settled
in Sewer County after the close of his
service in the Revolutionary army, on
the farm which has since been the home
of the family His mothers family was
also of Revolutionary stock. At the begin
ming of the rebellion Comrade Catlett, who
was educated for a surveyor, promptly
sided with the Union, and made his way
into Kentucky, where he enlisted in the
second Tennessee regiment formed. He
rose in the course of his service to be
Second Lieutenant. His company was
captured entire at Rogersville, Tenn, In
November 1863, and nearly all died in
Andersonville. He succeeded in making
his escape from Columbia, and after n
terrible journey of 81 days reached the
Union lines in East Tennessee. He is q
miller by trade.

leader and president of the American Fed
Grafton of Labor, is seriously i'll at his
home, 327 II street northeast, as result
of injuries received by falling from car

IL streets northeast. Mr.. Gompers was
about to alight from the car to go to his

head struck the pavement and he was
rendered unconscious.

Patriotism in Gloversville. N. Y.

EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: Just be-
fore the last Memorial Day the principal
Of the Gloversville On. " High School
invited a veteran of the civil war to give
a 1O-minutes' talk to the senior class on
his experience. The reason he gave for
making the request was that he consid-
cred it his duty to teach patriotism and
that this kind Of a talk would be very
effective means to that end.
The invitation was accepted, and the
veteran gave a rapid, running sketch of
Winchester, Fishers Hill, the pursuit up
the Valley, the attack at Cedar Creek,
the rout, and the final victory.
At the next meeting of the Board Of
Education a resolution was adopted that
no person be permitted to address the
students in any room without the consent
of the Superintendent.
1t is, perhaps, needless to add that no
member of this Board is veteran, the
son or daughter of a veteran, or even
related to one who ever wore the uniform
Of United States soldier.-G., Glovers-
vile, n Y.

Little Libels on the Sex.
(Arkansaw Thos. Cat.)

When woman has had a cry the pow
der follows after the bawl.-Leading a
woman to the altar is usually mans last
act OF leadership.-It pleases a woman to
be told that she improves man by her
nionship.-Women do not rave over
dentists as they rave over doctors, be-
cause teeth cannot be fixed without pain.
There is nothing that makes a good
woman's heart so swell with pride as to
have her pastor notice her absence from
church.-When visiting woman asks for
the Bible to read it always arouses a sus-
picion that she wants to look at the family
record in it and find out the ages.-When
new girl comes to town on visit she
comes down town the first day she arrives,
and thinks the business suspends while the
men say to one another, who is the
peach?"
