Louisville was not aware of Miss
Terry's intention to enter stage life,
although it had been her ambition
from childhood, but opposed by her
parents. On their reluctant consent,
however, it was kept secret until af-
ter her debut. Her mother, though,
accompanied hersto Boston, and win
remain with her through the season.
Her stage name combines the names
of her two younger brothers, Marian
and Parker. Marian is the name, also

A SILK STRING CURE.
Novel Self-Treatment That Proved
Effective I'm n Severe Case of
LumbaGO.

In Gen. F. c. Latrobe's varied and ex-
tensive mail during the past year there
have been hundreds of letters begging
him to send the writer's some of his
renowned silken strings for the cure
of lumbago, reports the Baltimore
Sun.
While Gen. Latrobe was attending
the sessions of the last Legislature, and
was incidentally nursing a severe cas-.
of lumbago. S. w. Pattison met him
one day and suggested that if he
would simply tie silk string about
his waist next to the skin he would
be cured. The general experienced
an unusually severe twinge that night,
and in desperation ordered his man
servant. Robert. to tie on the string.
From that time the lumbago began
to depart until the next day, when
it entirely disappeared. Gen. Latrobe
was enabled to stay in Annapolis.
The story of his cure becoming
noised abroad, letters began to come
in by the score, until finally, in order
to find time to attend to any other
business, Gen. Latrobe referred all LETT
tiers to his man Robert, whom he there
upon gave the name of DR.. Wilson.
Since that time CDR" Wilson. spe-
cialist in lumbago, has been making
tidy little income selling silk strings
of the proper curative kind.

PREFER DEATH TO BLINDNESS
Two Startling Instances of the Kind
Recently Reported from
Vienna, Austria,

A Hungarian woman and an Aus
trian judge committed suicide because
they were appalled, by fear of total
blindness. Miss Michael Yung, who
lived alone, but in comfort, in Gross
warden, had been told by the doctors
that blindness was her unavoida BILE
fate, says a late account from Vienna.
She straightway had large carving
knife sharpened, lay down on her bed
and cut ner throat so savagely that
her head was detached from the body,
rolled off the bed and was found on
the floor by those who entered the
room in the morning.
Court Councillor Won Holzinger, the
most learned, most feared, yet up
right judge of the high court of vi
emma, blew out his brains. He met
all his friends in the last week of his
life, visited all his favorite spots,
seemed quite himself all the time,
passed his very last day precisely as
usual, and at 1880 that night went
to his office in the courts, locked him.
self in, wrote few lines to say that
fear of blindness made him wish to
end his life. and he hoped that his
friends would forgive him the bru-
tally of his exit from life, then shot
himself.

stingy in the printing bill, nor can the
government give too wide publicity to
the utterances of its statesmen and
the essays of it's men of science.
There may be lots of chat, but occa-
sionally grain of wisdom is scat
tered abroad by means of government
reports which enlightens the public or
brings prosperity within reach of
farmer, trader or manufacturer.
The printers of America are justly
proud of the government establish
ment. First, because it reflects credit
upon their honorable craft; second,
because the hints they receive from its
management are helpful to the con-
duct of even the smallest shop. There
is not government on earth whose
printing equals ours; not single blue
book which can be compared to the
most ordinary department report is
sued at Washington. Everything
about our public printing is perfect:
The type is clean and clear; the press
work is just right; the margins re-
spectacle; the binding neat and sub
stantial; maps and diagrams correct,
and drawings artistic.
A famous European royal lady once
said that she judged a woman by the
stationery she used. Should the same
discerning woman judge nations by
their printing she would pronounce
the United States of America the neat
est, cleverest and most powerful coun-
try, which, we know. it is.
