on his lips. He cannot speak now to
the girl he hoped would share his future.
Middle aged men that have been under
that cloud remember it still with a
shiver. But the important fact is that
there are men who were once in danger
from cweak" lungs who have grown
strong again, married and brought up
healthy families.
HOW IT HAPPENED.
There is no chance about such cures
If only a few persons had been benefited,
it might be said that they had exagger-
ated their danger or had only been suf-
fering from some common ailment But
when the cured are numbered by thou
sands; when the doctors diagnosis was
consumption when every symptom bore
out that diagnosis weakness, enacia-
ton, bleeding of the 1ungs-and these
sufferers we're perfectly and permanently
cured by the use of DIR. Pierce's Golden
Medical Discovery, it must be concluded
that these cures are not of chance, but
due to the healing power of a great
remedy, for coughs, weak lungs, bron-
chitis, and like diseases, which if neg
lected or unskillfully treated, find fatal
termination in consumption.

WHEELS HIS MONEY TO BANK.
Aged Canadian Makes n Yearly De-
pOsit at Syracuse, N. Y.


pOsit at Syracuse, N. Y.
From the New York World
An old man came toling into Syracuse
the other day pushing a wheel barrow
He stopped in front of the Salt Springs
Bank, took two large satchels from the
barrow and went in. Approaching the re-
ceving window, he began to produce
pocket books. He took one from his hat,
another from his boots, a third from his
pocket, a fourth from the heavy collar
of his long, tattered overcoat and four
others from inner pockets and Innings of
his many coats. He emptied them of
money, which he gave to the clerk to
count. Then he gathered II all up in his
hat and retreated to corner of the room
where he remained for two hours, fond
ling the bills and coins and recounting
them.
Finally he appeared at the window
again and handed the pile in with a sigh.
Taking his two old satchels on his wheel
barrow, the queer old man went on 20 the
Onondaga County Savings Bank and re-
peated the programme, except that this
time he took the money from one of the
satchels. Thus he went to every bank in
the city, depositing what appeared to be
the afternoon when he finished and start
ed back trundling his empty barrow.
At the banks the old man is known as
George w. Todd For the last thirty
years he has made one trip to a year to
Syracuse to deposit his money and in all
that time has given no other informa-
ton concerning himself. Years ago bank
official, pressing old Mr.. Todd to give his
place of residence, was told that he lived
at -Four Corners, Canada" All the mon
ey he deposits is Canadian and it is be-
lieved that he walks from Canada.
Mr. Todd is picturesque figure. He is
apparently about so years old, tall and
gaunt, with long white hair falling over
the collar of an overcoat which he has
worn since his first appearance here The
coat is held together at the top with
large horse blanket pin and his heavy
trousers are stitched together on the out
side with Irvine lie wears immense
heavy felt boot legs and felt over-shoes.
He has many thousands of dollars in the
Syracuse banks

Roland Reed, one of the few typical
American comedians of the John T. Ray
mond school, died, after a lingering ill
ness, at the home of Capt. Rush, 36l
West One Hundred and Twenty-second
street New York, Saturday morning.
According to the New York newspapers,
he was baptized into the Roman Catholic
Church few hours before he lapsed into
unconsciousness. His daughter, Florence,
to whom he was devotedly attached, is
of the Catholic faith, and it was her
wish that he enter the Church
His wife, from whom he had been sepa-
rated for twenty years. was summoned
from her home in Philadelphia as soon
as 1t was known that he was dying At
the same time Miss Isadore Rush, who
is a member of the Rogers Brothers in
Central Park" Company, which closed an
engagement at the Chestnut Street The
alter Saturday night, was called to the
death-bed.
Mr.. Reed was married to Miss Somers
in Philadelphia about twenty-five wears
ago. After living together for five years
they found they were not congenial and
agreed 10 an dnlcaDle separation. They
remained fest friends and he made her
a liberal allowance. She always met him
az the theater on the opening night of
his engagements in Philadelphia and she
was usually one of a family supper party
after the performance.
About ten years ago Miss Isadore Rush
became the leading lady of Reeds COM
pany, and the world OF their acquaint-
ances accepted the rumor that they were
married This was never asserted or de-

ter his death that the truth that they
were simply devoted friends was made
known by Miss Rush's brother.

SENSATION AT WAYNESBOR0.
Lawyer J =. Crimson Ruled Against
and Disciplined by His Brother,
Judge K. l.. Crimson.

Augusta, April 1.-The Chronicle has
received the following special from
Waynesboro:
James z. Brinson, attorney at law, of
Millen, Ca, and brother to Judge f. l.
Brinson of the Augusta circuit, was con-
victed in the county court of Burke, last
June. in three cases of trespass on land
of Capt. Joseph Bell of the Central Rail-
road, and one case of obstructing legal
process. The fines imposed in the four.
cases aggregated $3.50.
These four cases were brought to the
Superior Court and at the hearing to-
day the certiorari were dismissed, and
the effect is to affirm the judgment of
the court below.
The hearing to-day was very dramatic.
Mr.. Brinson filed a motion to set aside
1.-THE order of the Superior Court trans
ferring the cases to the county court be-
cause Judge f. L. Brinson was his broth
er and was disqualified to pass any such
order. The language used in his motion
was decidedly salty and not compliment
airy to the officers of the county and Su
perior Courts
These motions q were overruled and
when the court also dismissed his GER
tlorarls Judge III. /. Perry OF the county
Court, being one of the officers attacked
by Mr.. Brnson, arose in open court on a
question of privilege and asked that the
court pass the following order, which
was duly passed and placed upon the
record of the court
ordered, that J. p Crimson be required
to strike from and erase all language
used by him in the two extraordinary Pc
titions filed by him on yesterday evening
in this court, abusive of this court and
its officers, the vituperation used by min
toward the citizens having permitted to
be filed and became public records by the
express permission of the court and the
tendency of said language being to defile
decent records, etc"
The Court House was filled to its Mt
most capacity and the excitement, though
prudently suppressed, was very evident
Unless Mr.. Brinson appeals to the SUI
preme Court, he will have to pay the
fines imposed by the County Court or
serve terms of sentence.
