A ROYAL BIRTH.

Another Daughter Born to King and
Queen of Italy.
Rome, Nov. 19.-Queen Helene was
accouched Of daughter this morning.
The mother and child are announced
to be doing we'll The new princess
will be named Mafalda The child
born to the king and queen of Italy
today is the second daughter. the first,
Princess Yolande Margherita, having
been born at Rome on June l, 1900.
The accouchment occurred a month
earlier than was expected. The king
yesterday was shooting on the island
of Monte Cristo when he was sudden
ly summoned home. He Immediately
boarded a yacht and was landed on
the beach in the neighborhood of
Rome. AS there were no debarkation
conveniences the king was carried
ashore on the backs of sailors. A
motor car was in waiting and he soon
reached the palace.
The birth Of another princess in
stead Of an heir to the throne is
great public disappointment.
United States Ambassador Meyer
was the first outsider to personally
congratulate the king. The sovereign
was in excellent spirits. He declared
he was satisfied, with another daugh-
ter and said the queen and the child
were doing well.

HENDsONYILLE s. O., Sept. 2, 1896.
Mr.. A. B. GIRARDEAU, Savannah, Ga.
DEAR SIR:-Some years ago operated float
ng saw-min on the Savannah River. My base of
operations was being constantly changed, and my
hands were always exposed to the worst malarial
influences [ employed over one hundred hands,
and the work was conducted as much in water as
out of it, For this reason, in August and Septem-
ber there was great loss Of time and business, on
account of sickness among the workers.
NV attention was then called to Johnson's Chill
and Fever Tonic, and I determined to give the
medicine trial. [ procured it, and those who
we're sick were put on this treatment and those who
we're feeling badly we're at once given the Tonic.
In short time every one ofthe one hundred hands
was we'll and reported for duty; and from that time
on I used nothing else but Johnson's Tonic, and
never had another case of fever.
Yours very truly,
J. r. LASSITER.

In Miraflores there are about 400

NATIONS CHIEF IS
GUEST OF MEMPHIS
Brilliant Parade Through the
Principal Streets.
GUNS BOOM AND BANDS PLAY.

President Roosevelt and Party Given
Enthusiastic Reception by Citizens
of the Tennessee MetropoIis-clty
GaiIy Decorated.
Memphis, Tenn, Nov. 19-Presideat
Roosevelt and party arrived in this
city this morning promptly at 3
o'clock from Smedes, Miss, on a spe-
cial train over the Yazoo and Missis-
sippi Valley railroad. The journey
from Smedes was devoid of special ia
cident. The president upon his arriv-
al here was given an enthusiastic de-
monstration when he alighted from his
car at the union depot. He was met
by large delegation of representative
citizens and escorts of police officers
and detectives in plain clothes.
Among the presidents party were
Stuyvesant Fish, president of the Il
linols Central railroad; General Man
ager ]. M. Dickinson, of the same road;
Or. Lung, the presidents physician,
several newspaper correspondents and
secret service men.
The parade was at once formed
and as the long line swung into mo-
ton for the march through the city
cannon, stationed on the river front,
near the custom house, doomed a sa-
lutte of 81 guns.
The parade was headed by Chief Of
Police Mason and other police off,
GERS, bands and large escort of citi.
Zens ON horseback, after which came
the carriage of the president, General
Luke Wright, Secretary Cortelyou and
Chairman w. J. Crawford, of the gen
eral committee. The line of march
was first through the residence por-
tion of the city to the custom house,
and on the route many houses were
decorated in flags and bunting, flags
being much in evidence. In the busi-
ness portions of the city the crowds
and decorations increased, the prin-
cipal buildings being gay with the "a
tional colors. Along Main street the
sidewalks presented a solid line of
people and the president was kept
busy bowing his acknowledgements II
greetings.
The parade ended at the Hotel Gay
oso where the party alighted and an
informal reception was held. Sew
eraI citizens shook hands with t.
president. General Wright. who ar
rived in his native city last night, was
also cordially greeted. After the re-
ception, President Roosevelt retired
to his room for a short rest.
The local committee desired Lener-
al Wright to await the president 5
coming at the Gayoso hotel, but Gener.
al Wright vetoed the arrangement,
and was the first to grasp the pre3I.
dents hand as he stepped from the
train. The president greeted Gener.
al Wright with great cordiality.
The program arranged for the day
was very elaborate The Gayoso 20
tel breakfast was rendered the pre- !.
dent and General Wright by the ladies
of Memphis. This afternoon there
were two receptions to General Wright
one by the white citizens of Memphis
at the Auditorium and the other by
the colored people at their own hail
on Beale street Both of these re
ceptions were attended by the presi
dent.

TWIN RIEsSINGs.

We are in receipt of numerous letters
from different parts of the country
where the rural mail route and the
country telephone line have reached the
farm home and the fact is nearly al
ways referred to as having worked out
almost revolution in country living.
These agencies have done more to make
life on the farm endurable and people
contented with a country environment
than anything else could have done.
These Improvements have especially
helped the life of the women in the
farm home, have done away with that
sense of isolation which under old con-
ditions was at times almost unendura-
BILE. When woman arrives at that
state of mind when it seems as though
she must say something to somebody,
she can now take down the phone and
have pleasant chat with some neigh-
bor to the great enjoyment and benefit
of both.

A COB RATION.

And now probably the bottom has
been reached in the breakfast food
craze, for one of the new kinds is said
to be made from prepared corncobs. In
the language of the immortal Mr..
Squeers, Here's richness for you." 1t
Is evident that those who assumed that
the limits of possible usefulness of the
corn plant had been reached are
doomed to disappointment. for from
the much despised cob, heretofore ded-
icated to the making of pipes, is to be
evolved a great brain feeder nerve req
ulator, dyspepsia buster and muscle
builder. From the ignQminious sphere
of serving as fuel to prepare the matur
final meal, the cob is to rise from the
fire pot to the cereal boiler and scatter
its appetizing odors all through the
house Jointly with the family coffee,
pot. Not until the American people get
down to all the possibilities of ba-
mana and cob diet will they obtain the
highest type of mental and moral and
physical development. 5,r

than had bought in the balance Of the
claims and sent them through Peril
go's bank for collection. In his trouble
Langdon wrote to Charming, but no
answer came. Twice the latter had
written him that the president and GER
tain directors had spoken to him about
Mr.. Langdon's debts. 1t was evident
that some enemy was bounding him,
but SO long as Claiming was ION deck"
as he wrote to Langdon, he could
count on his support.
But Claiming was no longer on deck.
The incessant brain work, the strain,
the immense labor devolving on an ac-
tive official of the road whose business
outdid it's resources, had finally told.
Nervous prostration and collapse had
cnsued, and Charming was downed at
last.
1t was the first week in May and
with all nature sweet and smiling
about him. Eric Langdon came up
from Gunnison on the early morning
freight, his heart heavy as lead. He
had spent the early hours of the pre-
vious night, Friday, working hard with
the Grays, for their ambition was
boundless now, and they had entered
for competition in an adjoining state.
The night itself he had spent trying to
sleep under the roof Of his friend, the
station agent, but sleep would not
come, and twice he arose and went out
and walked the platform under the
glistening stars. On Monday, said the
lawyer, that money must be paid.
Langdon had no appetite for breakfast.
He took cup of coffee at the station
restaurant on reaching Brentwood and,
though it was barely o'clock, went to
his Office. Janitor and watchmen not
ed his haggard face and wondered at
his early hours. Early as they were.
some one had been there earlier. The
safe door stood open-the cash was
gone.
