A VETERAN
Tells Of a Thrilling Experience
in the Civil War and How
a Newspaper Article
Saved His Life.
From the Eeacon, Leonardstoscn, Md.

Many veterans of the rebellion can
recall incidents as thrilling as the cav
airy charge in which the narrator OF
the following experience nearly lost
his life, and, unfortunately, many OF
the old soldiers have disabilities that
are unpleasant reminders of their days
in the army. To all such this story
will have peculiar interest and may
show the way to restore health,
strength and energy. Mr.. William H.
Whiting, of Mt. Holly, Va, says:
"When the Civil war began l was
living in Buffalo and there l joined
Co. F, of the Tenth New York Caval-
ry. In 1868, while serving with my
company, l received sabre cut that
caused paralysis. For eight months
l was obliged to lie in the hospital at
Washington, ID. G. / afterwards
tried many doctors, but the paralysis
remained as bad as ever. l suffered
from chills and my general health
was not good.
"This continued until about eight
years ago when read in newspaper
of the cures effected by DR.. Williams
Pink Pills for Pale People. l began
taking the pills and soon found they
were doing me good. In six months
time l was completely cured. The
paralysis has not returned and I never
have the CHI ills now. My general
health is also better than when l be-
gan taking Pink Pills for Pale People.
! Away keep them with me and, in
the eight years that have passed since
| first took them, l have never had
occasion to call on a doctor.
II have recommended DR.. Will
liams' Pink Pills to many people, and
good results have always followed
their use."

Career of Captain Howeate.


Captain Howgate, U. s. A., retired,
who died recently, had singular and
eventful life. While trusted officer
of the signal service he was charged
with appropriating a large amount of
government funds and placed under ar.
rest. His escape and fight were at.
tended with many dramatic features.
By ruse he got away from a govern
ment officer having him in charge while
the latter supposed his prisoner was
taking bath. For years he remained
in hiding, and not until four years af.
ter his escape was he located by secret
service detectives as proprietor of an
obscure book store in New York.
He was taken back to Washington,
d. c., tried and convicted. After serv-
ing sentence in the Albany county
penitentiary he returned to Washing
ton last December. Captain Howgate
was known as a scientist of ability.
He gave much attention to Arctic re-
search and was the author of what is
known as the Howgate colonization
plan for reaching the north pole by
means of stations along the route. His
attainments were such that he doubt
less would have made name for him
self in the scientific world had it not
been for his misfortunes.
Captain Howgate was born in Eng
land. In 1862 he was appointed a Sec
ond lieutenant in the Twenty-second
Michigan volunteers and served to the
end of the war with distinction, earn
ing promotion far gallant and meritor-
ious service in the battle of Chicamau-
ga and in the Atlanta campaign. At
the close of the war he entered the reg
ular army and rose to the rank of cap
tain in the signal corps.

MRS. M'K|NLEY IS WEAKER
DOCTORS MUCH CONCERNED.
Mrs. Mckinley suffers From Same
Complaint rs When in Frisco
President Remains by Her Bed
side-DOetors Held Consultation.

Washington, June Mrs. Mckinley
continues weak. but each day that
elapses without gain In strength les
sens her powers of recuperation. The
complaint which came near ending her
life in San Francisco Is still present.
1t is a slightly less aggravated form,
but gives the physicians and the presi-
dent mucn concern. Mrs. Mckinley
has shown remarkable vitality, but her
illness has so reduced her strength as
to leave her very feeble indeed. The
news given out by the physicians in at
tendance today was not reassuring,
though hope of better things still con-
tinues. After consultation between
the doctors, the following bulletin was
issued:
Mrs. Mckinley passed comfortable
night, but her condition has not ma
terially changed since the report Of
yesterday"
There were no further consultations
of the physicians during the day, but
DR.. Rixey called during the evening
and spent some time with the patient.
In response to inquiries from time to
time the statement was made that there
had been no change. President Nc
Kinley spent most of the day at the
bedside of his wife, though late in the
afternoon he went out for an hours
drive. He departed alone, but met
Judge Watson Of Ohio, an old friend,
on the way and the latter accompanied
him to the White House.
Dctors Rixey and Sternberg both
were in attendance at the White House
during the evening, although the latter
did not remain very long. DR.. Rixey
was at the mansion for over two hours,
and when he left for the night, shortly
before II o'clock, he announced that at
that time Mrs. Mckinley was resting
comfortably, as she had done all the
afternoon.
Senator Elkins called on the presi-
dent during the evening and was with
him for about Is minutes.
