Some idea of the way this gov.
eminent was robbed in the pur.
chase OF vessels at the outbreak
OF the war with Spain, may be
gathered from the fact that the
transport Terry, for which $780,
900 was paid, has just been adver.
tised for sale at an upset price of
$4,000 and not a single bid was
received. When bought, this
steamer was an excursion boat
on Long Island Sound under the
name of Hartford.

MRS. MADIsON's CASE.

Polk City, Ia, Oct. 14.-For over
ten years Mrs. Elizabeth P. Madison,
a respected lady of this place, has
suffered most severely with Kidney
trouble complicated with derange-
ments of the bowels and liver.
Rheumatism, another painful result
of deranged Kidneys, added its tor
lures to her burden of pain.
Treatments and medicines without
number were tried; physicians also
exhausted their skill, but all to no
purpose.
: At this stage of the case a treat
ment of Dodd's Kidney Pills was re-
sorted to and the results were simply
miraculous, from the very first box
an improvement was noticed and the
continued treatment resulted in a
complete cure.
This remarkable cure created a de-
cided sensation in the neighborhood
because of the complications of the
case as we'll as it's severity and ap-
parent hopelessness.
Upon investigation Dodd's Kidney
Pills are found to be the only rem
edy that has ever cured Bright's Dis
ease, Diabetes or Dropsy and these
hitherto incurable diseases are read
lily conquered by this remarkable
remedy

PROVED HIMSELF A TRUMP.
How the Young Man Won the Ever
lasting Regard of Pater
FamiIias

HE had been hanging around my
girl for some time" said weIl-known
north ender, "and I saw that unless
something was done before long he
would soon become member of the
family. 1 had frowned upon the mat
ter right from the start, as I didn't
think he was good enough for my
daughter. But from the beginning L
simply constituted a hopeless minor
ity, as my wife thought he was per-
feet paragon. I thought knew better
and when one Sunday I saw him at a
ball game I was sure of it.
"Now, 1 am a great lover of the Amer
lean game and Sunday is the only day
that have time to attend. I have al
ways been very careful to keep from
my wife the fact that I ever attended
a game of ball on Sunday, as she is a
very strict church member and views
with horror anyone who seeks pleas
ure on the Sabbath. So when I saw the
young manthere at the game thought
1 had found a way to bring her over to
my side, knowing full well that if I did
his chances of becoming a member of
the family were mighty slim. hadn't
the slightest idea that he had seen me
there ana thought could Startle an
admission from him that would show
him in his true colors without danger
to myself. So when he called the other
night 1 said suddenly:
g Young man, where were you last
Sunday?'
'Oh, I sat just two rows ahead of
YOU he answered easily.
''That threw all explanations back
on me and left me grasping for breath!
''Fine sermon, wasn't it?' he added
moment later, coming to my rescue
like the trump he is.
Sc 'Oh, you dear old fellow, did you go
to church and say nothing to me about
it?' cried my wife. How lovely! What
was the text?'
81 was simply incapable of answer
ing and again that young trump filled
the breach.
=" Ninety and nine said he.
''The score wasn't quite as bad as
that-almost, though. Say continued
the north ender, according to the De-
troit Free Press, ''he's the finest young,
man that ever drew breath and he cam
have anything that belongs to me-"
