THE E S OF TIME.

Mrs. Clara j. Sherbourne, Profess
sional Nurse of 257 Cumberland St.,
Portland, Maine, says
II heartily wish those who suffer
from some disturbed action of the
kidneys would try Doan's Kidney
Pills. They would, like me, be more
than surprised. Ny back annoyed
me for years. Physicians who dag
nosed my case said it arose from
my kidneys. When the grip was cpl
demic, / was worn out with constant
nursing, and when / contracted it
myself it left me in a very serious
condition. I could not straighten
nor do the most trivial act without
being in torture. The kidneys were
too active or the secretions were too
copious, and l knew what was wrong,
but how to right it was q mystery.
1t seems odd for a professional
nurse, who has had a great deal Of
experience with medicines, to read
advertisements about Doan's Kidney
Pills in the newspapers, and it may
appear more singular for me to go
to II. Fl. Hay & Sons drug store for
a box. But I did, however,; and had
anybody told me before that it was
possible to get relief as quickly as
/ did / would have been 10th to be-
lieve it. You can send anyone who
wishes more minute particulars
about my case to me, and / will be
only too glad to tell them personal
ly. AS long as I live I will be a firm
advocate of Doan's Kidney Pills"
Cure Confirmed S Years Later.
"Lapse of time has strengthened
my good opinion of Doan's Kidney
Pills, first expressed in the spring
of 1896. I said then that had any
body told me that it was possible
tc get relief as quickly as I did I
would have been 10th to believe it.
Years have passed and my continued
freedom from kidney complaint has
strengthened my opinion of Doan's
Kidney Pills and given me a much
higher appreciation of their merits"

bourne will be mailed on applica-
ton to any part of the United States.

Books on Ships and Trains,

Many of the transatlantic liners
are now equipped with circulating Ii
braries, some steamships having up
ward of half a thousand volumes,
principally "seaworthy stories," but
a goodly supply of substantial read
ing as well. Other lines will probably
follow suit. Nearly all of the better
day have circulating libraries oper-
ated on the same principle as obtains
on board the European vessels. This
system allows of a passenger borrow
ing a book from ore library and ex-

DEER THAT D0IF ON MUSIC.
Charmed by Violin Playing, They
Manifest Preference for Meas
ured Strains.

Col. j. M. brennan relates an in
cident of his recent fishing trip at
Moosehcad which presents q story
to rank with both the tale of Or
pheus and that of Robinson Crusoe
fddling to his goats. Col. and
Mrs. brennan forsook the sport of
trout-catching for a time and
crossed the lake to the Masterman
farm, on the west shore, where Col.
to feed every evening. reports the
Boston Advertiser.
The deer had grown wonderfully
tame and came daily to crop the
sprouting vegetation in the newly
planted fields. There was an old
dog on the place who made it his
duty to repel the depredations of
the deer. But he had lost his old
time vigor in the chase and consid-
cred his duty done when he had sent
the deer scurrying over the fence at
the foot of the lot. The deer were
quick to learn that the dog was not
a very terrible fellow and kept right
on making their visits with increas-
ing boldness.
Camping near the Masterman place
was Mr.. Lougee, a well-known violin
ist and leader of an orchestra in
Bangor. Col. brennan suggested to
the musician that he steal out to
the edge of the garden plot and treat
the deer to a few airs on the violin,
just for the fun of noting the effect.
The next evening just before the
deer were due Mr.. Lougee hid un-
der the cover of a few branches and
waited for the deer to make an APP
pearance. Pretty soon a big buck
pushed through the foliage and be-
gan to feed. The musician dashed
off "Old Zip Coon," money Musk
and several of the popular airs OF
the day.
The music was played softly at
first. At the sound of the first few
measures the effect on the deer was
magical. He stopped in his feeding
and became the sou of attention,
His head rose slowly into the air and
his whole body seemed to expand till
he had struck one of his stately at
titudes hat one notes in Landseer's
pictures. The music was a mystery
to him and held him s%pellbound.
Finally the measures of a march
were sent gliding off the strings
The deer became the soul of stately
action at once. With a loftier poise
on his head and antlers thrown back
he marched about the inclosure with
a grace that would surpass the per
Torrance of the most accomplished
high-stepper in a horse show. Al
times he would stop to show his ap-
probation and bring his sharp hoofs
down to the earth in a forcible way
Then he would go on with the
march.
1t was the march that pleased the
deer, evidently, for he was more than
pleased to trip off it's measures. But
when "She May Have Seen Better
Days" or some other of the latter
day airs were played the deer showed
his disdain by clearing the opening
with a big bound and making away
to cover.

DR.. CURRY PAYS TRIBUTE
TO WORK OF DR.. GLENN

In his annual report to the Peabody
board, which is now in session in New
York, DR.. J. L. NJ. Curry, special agent
of the Peabody and Blater Educational
funds, pays a high compliment to State
School Commissioner G. r. Glenn, of
Georgia. The report was read at a meet
ing of the board several days ago, and
regarding Commissioner Glenn says:
THE retirement of DR.. Glenn from the
headship of the school system is a ca
lamity. For eight years he has given
heart and mind laboriously and unselfsh-
" to his work The report of progress
during that time as given by him is
wonderful report. His life has been
benedcence to the children. During his
official career he has been to me an in
valuable assistant, approving and making
successful what has been practical and
progressive and for the improvement of
the schools The National Education as
sociation and the Southern Educational
association have h6nored him with posi-
tions of distinction and responsibility in
just recognition of his ability and ex-
perience as an educator, and his knowl-
edge of educational affairs in the United
States"

CRISIS IN BIRMINGHAM
is CLOSE APPROACHING

BIRMINGHAM. Ala, Oct. 3.-President
Edward Flynn, of the United Mine Work
ers OF America, district Of Alabama, stat
ed this morning that he had issued orders
for all the miners of the Tennessee Coal,
Iron and Railway company, at the Blue
Creek and Blocktoh mines to suspend
work on Monday next.
About sixteen hundred men will be in
volved, which, added to the men already
out in the Pratt mines division, will make
the total number of strikers over 1900.
The strike grows out OF the refusal of
the company TO withhold assessments
made by the Miners union for the an
thracite coal strikers from the wages of
those miners who object to paying it.
President Flynn says hat all miners
who object TO paying the assessment will
be expelled, and when the miners return
will not be allowed to work with them.
Oficials of the Miners union are now
making a canvass among the miners Of
the Sloss-Sheffield Steel and Iron company
to ascertain how many of them favor the
payment Of the assessment. Meanwhile the
S.oss mines are all in operation, with 40
prospect OF immediate trouble.

BIRMINGHAM
MINERS ON
STRIKE
FAILURE OF MINE OWNERS TO
COLLECT STRIKE ASSESS
MENT CAUSED NATIONAL
BOARD TO ACT.

BIRMINGHAM, Ala, Oct. 2.-Twenty-
five hundred miners in the employ Of the
Tennessee Coal, Iron and Railroad COM
pany suspended work today.
This action is in obedience to the order
OF ne executive board Of the United Mine
Workers of America, district of Alabama.
The board determined that where the OPP
orators refused to collect for the Union
the one dollar per week assessment, made
on all union miners for the benefit of the
anthracite strikers in Pennsylvania, sus-
pension of work would be ordered
The suspension has not yet extended to
the Blue creek and Blocton mines of the
Tennessee company, but it is thought that
all that company's mines will be involved,
If an adjustment is not soon reached.
About two weeks ago the Tennessee COM
pany declined TO withhold the assessment
money from certain miners at West
Pratt, who objected to its payment, and
FIVE hundred men at that mine were or
dered out. Today's suspension makes the
total number now out 5000. The mines
of the Sloss-Sheffield Steel and Iron COM
pany are holding a mass meeting at Car
diff today to determine what course they
will pursure.

FOUND PRISONER
DEAD IN HIS CHAIR

MACON, Ca, Oct. captain J. W. Wilcox
was startled Yesterday by a negro who ran
suddenly into his office at the city hall having
every appearance of one crazy. He began at
once TO undress all the while muttering some
thing which no one could understand.
CAPTAIN Wilcox summoned a policeman and
the negro was taken to the police station, but
was still unable to give any intelligent account
OF himself not being able to tell his name.
Deputy V. A. Maynard left the hall to take
out q writ of lunacy and the negro was locked
up in the barracks BY the time that the jury
was summoned and the door opened to
bring out the negro he was found sitting up
against the wall dead. He employee OF
the Central railroad and had a months pay to
his credit. No explanation made of the
affair except that il a OF heart dis
ease superinduced by mental distress.
