ARGENTINE CATTLE.
May BE largely Purchased by Great
Britain to Restoclk the Pastures
of South Africa.

It may be said that Great Britain will
naturally favor her own colonies in
making such purchases of cattle to re-
stock the South African pasture lands,
and, other things being equal, this
would be natural, says the Buenos
Ayres Herald. But Canadian and New
Zealand beef brings better price in
the. British market than Argentine,
and this because in those colonies more
attention has been given to the breed
ing of cattle for prime beef, and in con-
sequence both Canada and New Zea-
land, and the United States as prob
able bidder, are not likely to offer
their stock as cheaply as will the Ar
gentine estanciero, and this difference
in price is likely to secure for this
country generous slice, at least, of
the business, Where else in the
world can the requisite number ofeat-
tie be found at such prices as can be
made here? We believe it safe to state
that Argentina stands alone and in
commanding position in this respect;
at least. we have good reason for the
hope that is in US that in this direction
lies prompt, large and profitable bust
ness for US. Great Britain will be-
come buyer of hundreds of thousands
of cattle for the South African plains
in making purchases of such magni-
tude. That Argentine cattle at Argen-
tine prices and Argentine proximity
to the ports of discharge will be favor
ably looked upon seems to be reason
able, hence our belief and that of the
market in general that the signing of
peace means an especial good of great
magnitude to this country.

St. Louis, July 19.-The Jail at
Brooklyn, a suburb of East St.
Louis, across the river from here,
was broken open tonight by a mob
of negroes, whose desire it was to
lynch one of their own color for an
attempted assault on negro wo'
man earlier in the day.
William Carter, the negro pris-
oner. was hurried from the Jail by
Village Marshal Speed, who took
him in a roundabout way to St.
Louis for safekeeping, after the mob
had broken open the doors with a
railroad tie. There was no other
prisoner in the Jail at the time.

WONDERFUL CURES.
L. w. MOENCH, OF ALBANY, THE
HAPPY MAN.
DR.. Darrin to Remain at Hotel
Revere, Albany. Until
October 1.

The following outspoken recon.
mendation from man SO we'll
known as t.. w. Moench is one of
the strongest reasons why people
should look into the merits Of DIR.
Darrin's cures by electricity and
skilful medical treatment. The
doctor has been prevailed on ito re-
main in Albany until October 1st
and is visited by scores of sufferers
at Revere Hotel daily and why any
one with good Judgment can see
their friends and neighbors cured
and not grasp the opportunity to try
DR.. Darrin's new system of cure is
beyond our comprehension.
Mr.. Moench's Card.
To THE EDITOR: For years I
have been troubled with Sciatic
rheumatism, liver and kidney COM
plant and dyspepsia. One month
ago I was unable to work, or even
to puton my shoes without great
suffering. DR.. Darrin has so far
restored me that | am able to work
every day. My troubles are gone
and / feel like a new person and I
gladly subscribe my name in DR..
Dlrrin's behalf and recommend him
to the public. I reside On corner
of 4th and Main streets, Albany,
and will answer all questions by
letter or in person.

SHOULD GO TO COLLEGE.
Why Girl Should Have the Privilege
of Attending n school of Higher
Learning.

The best answer that can be given
to the question: "Why should the
girl go to colIege%' is the college
girl herself as she goes forth
equipped in body, mind and soul for
her life work. Indeed, to those who
know her best, no other answer
seems necessary. But until she and
time shall have convinced the aues-
TONERS, another answer-the most
obvious one, perhaps-is TO be found
in the declared purpose of the col
lege; that is the intellectual. In a
broad sense it comprehends not only
that which disciplines and enlightens
the understanding, but also whatever
corrects the temper, cultivates the
taste and forms the manners and
habits. What girl able to secure it
will not be the stronger, nobler wom-
an for the development and training
afforded by the many-sided life of
Surely not she who has her own way
to make in the worlo, says Woman's
Home Companion. Whatever the diff
ficulties and problems of her field
of labor, she will meet them with
the power a1d confidence she has
the college world. She has served an
apprenticeship to- the business of
life-has come to know others and,
more important STILL, to know her
self.

A Remarkable Cure.

Herald, July 2-J. L. Oxford, a
prominent citizen of Linn county,
who resides three miles from Browns.
vile, was in the city yesterday.
He called at the Herald Office and
told remarkable story of a cure
effected by DR.. Darrin, the we'll
known specialist. Mr.. Oxford had
been totally deaf in his left ear for
more than three years and the right
ear was affected to such an extent
that hearing was almostimpossible.
On June 81 he visited Albany and
consulted DR.. .Darrin. The latter af-
ter treatment of only 20 minutes,
restored the hearing in both ears
and Mr.. Oxford can now hear as
well as he could at any previous
time in his life prior to the time he
was attacked. He is isdelighted with
the permanent cure effected and is
loud in his praise of the quick and
practical work of the eminent spe-
cialist.
DR.. DARRIN'S PLACE OF BUSINESS.

10 to 5 o'clock daily; evening 7 to

P. M. today from the undertaking
rooms. The body will be taken to
Cleveland for iuterment.


For 20 years Peter M. Arthur
has been grand chief of the Broth
>erhood of Locomotive Engineers,
and in that time had not only seen
that noble organization Of railway
employees increase nearly tenfold in
mem bership and an hundred fold
in power and influence, but had
also managed his own personal af-
fairs so sbrswdly that he bad a.
massed fortune and could have
retired from the service of the order
and lived in elegance the remainder
of his days.
When Mr.. Arthur was elected in
1874, it was promotion from the
footboard. For years he had been
a locomotive engineer, running op
the New York Central, and having
his home in Utica, N. Y. He went
to Cleveland Immediately upon his
election, with scant savings indeed,
and made humble home on the
West Side. I'm short time he
moved to. the East Side, taking an
unpretentious house on modest
street, and, with innate Scotch
thrift, beginning to lay by more
and more for rainy day from his
salary of $3O00a year.
