markable. He was visited by NJ IS

Miss Nichols tells the story as fol-
lows: "Dodd's Kidney Pills are verit-
able life preservers. l was troubled
for FIVE years with Rheumatism, SO
that at times my right arm seemed
paralyzed and / could only walk with
difficulty, and could not go out Of
doors If the air was damp or cold. l
took so much medicine that l think
my system YVES poisoned rather than
helped. One day when my druggist
was putting up a prescription for me
remarked to him that l would give
one hundred dollars for remedy that
would make me better"
"'Give me five dollars and win

life preservers. Before / had finished
the second box / had my first perfect

ten boxes before l would give up, but
imagine my surprise to find that be-
fore half that quantity was used was
completely cured. This was two years
ago, and have not had a twinge
since"

In transmitting to the department a
translation of the new rules and reg
ulations governing the inspection and
trade in milk, as adopted by the city
council in Leipzig, Consul Warner, un-
der date OF July "a, 1900, reports that
the old regulations were abolished at
the instance of the advisory board of
the Saxon agricultural department for
the reason, chiefly, that their require
ment Of per cent of fat in the milk
could not always, even with the best
intentions on the part of the farmers,
be complied with. The present regu-
lations reduce the fat requirement in
the milk from 3 per cent to 81 per
cent
The new standard OF 81 per cent OF
fat in milk is the prevailing one
throughout Saxony. or ninety-fiye
cities and towns, only fifty-nine con-
tain any articles in their regulations
concerning the lowest allowable per-
cntage OF fat The following gives the
percentages of fat required by these
fifty-nine cities: Forty-five, 2.7 per
cent; four, &c per cent; three. rs per
cent; three, "a per cent; two, rs per
cent; and two. 3 per cent.
The rules and regulations governing
the milk question IN Leipzig cover the
appointment Of officials. the places OF
milk inspection, testing the amount OF
fat in the milk, its specific weight. the
milk books of the officials, guarding
against irregularities. analysis in chem
ical laboratory, guarding the public
against the sale Of unhealthy or adul-
terated milk, ETC., and are too extended
and too technical for publication in
detail. The part relating to milk for
children Is, however, given as likely to
be OF special interest to the officials
and philanthropists having the same
interest in charge in our towns and
cities.

Cheap silos are seldom profitable II
the cheapness consists in using poor

labor. Silos SO constructed do not
keep silage we'll and create disgust in
the men that attempt to use them.
BY them a prejudice is created In the
minds Of other farmers, and they are
pointed out as examples Of system
to be avoided. 1t is no wonder that

there are good silos in the hands of
Intelligent men this process Of food
preservation Is highly regarded.

Rival Street Car Companies In Atlanta
Again Before Court.
Declaring that the franchise granted
by the Atlanta city council and alder
manic board to the Atlanta Rapid
Transit company on Hunter street and
Cherokee avenue was not legal, the
Atlanta Railway and Power company
applied to the superior court OF Fulton
county for an injunction to compel the
Rapid Transit company to stop its
work of laying track on the line OF the
Grant park route.
Judge Lumpkin issued temporary
Injunction and ordered that the At
lanta Rapid Transit Company show
cause before him on the morning OF
the 10Th why this order should not be
made permanent.
The most significant and interesting
part of the paper presented to the
Judge was as follows:
"Your petitioner is the owner OF all
the property composing the entire
width of said Cherokee avenue froE
Georgia to Augusta avenue, and OF
half the width of said avenue from
Augusta avenue to Atlanta avenue, to
which said city of Atlanta has never
acquired title; that the title to same is
in your petitioner, who is in possession
of same, and to which, by virtue OF
said franchise, granted as aforesaid,
the said Atlanta Rapid Transit Com
pany has acquired no right whatever.

PHIL ARMOUR FUNERAL.

Last Rites Over Body OF Dead Millionaire
Were Extremely Simple.
Private funeral services over the
body of the late Philip D. Armour
were held Wednesday at the Armour
residence in Chicago. Following the
services at the house the body was
taken to the Armour mission where
the body lay in state and was viewed
by thousands. The service at the
house was of the simplest character,
carrying out the expressed wish of Mr..
Armour and was attended only by the
family and close friends.
At the conclusion of the services
the coffin was taken by special fu-
neral train to Graceland cemetery,
where the body was inferred in tie

A VANDERBILT WEDDING.
Young Alfred Endows Hiss Elsie
French With His Name
and Millions.

Although in the depth OF winter,
Newport, r. T., the we'll known water.
ing place, took on semblauce of its
summer gaiety Monday because of the
wedding of Alfred Gwynne Vanderbilt,
probably the most wealthy Of the third
generation of the Vanderbilt family,
and Miss Elsie French, a charming
Newport girl aud former playmate of
the bridegroom, the daughter OF Mrs.
Frederick Orme French, resident of
the city for many years.
The ceremony took place at noon in
the Zabriski Memorial church of St.
John, the Evangelist, far up in the old
north part of the city, on the very
shores of Narragansett bay, once the
center of Newport's fashion, but now
far removed from the social whirl of
Bellevue avenue. Miss French made
the choice of her own place Of worship
and her old home for the scene of mar
riage, instead of selecting the more
pretentious but less familiar surround
ings which would have been found in
New York. Under these conditions
the, hundred or more guests we're
forced 10 make journey to city as
quiet at this time of the year as an OBJ
scure country village.
. The festivities, however, did not
suffer from these unusual circum-
stances. The church, which was dec
grated with gorgeous lavishness, was
only about half filed with guests, the
invitations having been limited to rel
atives and close friends of the couple.
The wedding was as ornate as the
highest forms of the Episcopal church
could make it.
A reception followed at Harbour
view, the home of the brides parents.
The scene was then transferred to The
Breakers, the Vanderbilt Newport
residence, where an elaborate recep-
ton was rendered the young couple.
The total value of gifts is estimated
at more than one million dollars. It
is probably the handsomest and most
costly list ever given to a child OF
wealth even in this country of lavish
presents.

FILIPINOS WERE SURPRISED.
Routed Pell TELL From Stronghold
They Long Boosted as Being
ImpregnabIe. .

A recent issue of Manila paper
gives graphic and interesting ac-
count of the capture and utter defeat
of the forces of the famous insurgent
leader, Geronimo, near Montablan, by
Colonel J. Milton Thompson and a
thousand picked men of the Twenty
second and Forty y-second volunteer in
fantry regiments in November last.
Geronimo, from all accounts. lived
up to his namesake in this country in
that he hurled defiance from his
mountain fortress in much the same
way as Geronimo, the celebrated
Apache chieftain, harassed and defed
our troops in the west. The insurgent
chief was strongly fortified at Pinau-
Ian, in DeMorte canyon, near Monta-
blan, his trenches being strung along
both sides for q distance of six or
seven miles.
After the re-occupation of the presi-
dental chair. says the article, it was
decided by the military authorities to
dislodge Geronimo at any cost. The
latter had boasted frequently of the
time when the insurgents killed five
hundred>Spaniards who made an un-
successful attempt to take Pinauran.
The time for Colonel Thompson's
attack was set for noon on November
22d. The expedition was divided into
four detachments. The main one, un-
der command of Captain Brandie, was
in the lead, and while advancing
through the bed of the canon was the
first to draw the fire of the insurgents.
The entrenched Filipinos, believing
the detachment to be the entire at
tacking party, allowed the column to
advsnce we'll up the canon in order to
more completely "bottle" it. When it
nad reached the desired spot the Fill
Sinos, yelling like Apache Indians,
opened up a vigorous fire, but stimuli
taneously with their volleys came the
attack of the Americans from four dis
tinct directions.
Then Colonel Thompson, leading
the main body, performed the feat of
the engagement in climbing steep
wall through dirt and underbrush and
entered the boasted s'lmpregnable"
fortress of the insurgents. The SOL
diers climbed up the mountain side
and when they reached the top there
was not live rebel in sight. The in
surgents killed, it is estimated, was
fifty and their wounded about q dozen.
