Did you ever hear of the man who
broke the bank at Camanea?"
Possibly not, as the Camanea gam
ling resort has not attained the
fame and prestige which is given to
Monte Carlo. The bank Is there and
1t equals II it does not exceed its
better known rival in the domain OF
the prince of Monaco.
Frank l.. Proctor is the ruler Of
this gambling territory. In extent 1t
the prince. 1t occupies an entire
state in Mexico. Frank Proctor has
absolute sway over the state Of So
nora. The government Of Mexico has
given him a long term lease on the
gambling privileges.
Camanea is the richest and largest
mining camp in Mexico. 1t is the
center of Proctor's gambling princi-
pality. Not many years ago, Proctor,
now prince Of Camanea, was a cow
boy In Arizona, not extremely well
fixed in this worlds goods.

married a daughter Of Proctor and
afterward managed to attract some
eastern capital to mining schemes he
had on foot in Sonora. To-day he
owns a 30,000,0 900 copper mine.
Through Green, Proctor was provided
with the gambling privilege in the
state. The concession gives him the
income Of a multi-millionaire.
Over the gambling tables at Cana
e 1t is said that $4,000 passes
every night. Some days the total
amount has run up to $500, 900. 1t
requires 500 men to operate the
tables, and a profit Of 81, 200, 900 q
year is derived from that place alone.
Not only does Proctor control the
gambling Of Camanea, but also that
of Hermosillo, Guaymas and Alamos.
When it is understood that the popu
lation Of Sonora would rather
gamble than eat it may be %appreciat-
ed what an enormous sum passes into
Proctor's hands annually.

Pure FOOD Should Be the First.
When the human machine goes
wrong it's ten to one that the trouble
began with the stomach and can
therefore be removed by the use Of
proper food. A lady well known in
Bristol, Ontario county, N. Y, tells
OF the experience she had curing her
only child by the use of scientific food:
my little daughter, the only child and
for that reason doubly dear, inherited
nervous dyspepsia. We tried all kinds
Of remedies and soft foods. At last.

A Tiuht Squeeze.

Brazils, Ark, May 11th.-To be
snatched from the very brink of tfs
grave is a somewhat thrilling ex-
perience and n which Mrs. M. o.
Garrett of this place has just passed
through.
Mrs. Garrett suffered with a Cere-
bro-Spinal affection, and had been
treated by the best physicians, but
without the slightest Improvement.
For the last twelve months two
doctors in constant attendance,
but she could only grow worse and
worse, till she could not walk, and
did not have any power to move at
oil.
She was so low that for the greater
part of the time she was perfectly
unconscious of what was going on
about her, and her heart-broken hus-
band and friends were hourly ex-
pecting her death.
The doctors had given up all hope
and no n thought she could pos
eibly live.
In this extremity Mr.. Garrett sent
Tor a box of Dodd's Kidney Pills. 1t
was a last hope, but happily it did not
fail.
Mrs. Garrett used In all six boxes of
the remedy ana is completely cured.
She says:

Kidney Pills certainly saved me from

Strange to say, it was almost at
that self-same moment Lille Derwent
at Rawal Pindi, was listening to Prince
Clement Sings suit. The afternoon
Biesta, so general and necessary an in
diligence throughout India, was over,
and some hour and a half later Lille
was returning from a ride, attended
by her native groom, when she was
joined at the gate of the compound by
the Prince, who was also on horse
back, and escorted by two native
troopers.
The fierce heats and moist seasons of
India had not as yet robbed Lilies
cheeks OF their English roses, and she
was looking particularly fair in her
plain brown holland habit, beautifully
cut and braided with white, pleasantly
suggestive OF comfort and GOODNESS.
Her hat was a large white straw,
with q long, white ostrich feather,
which suited to perfection her clear
cut profile and the thick coils of her
fair hair. Her light riding gauntlets
were Of white deerskin, and the
Princes admiration of the hand SO

bravely, looking up into his face, while
a wave OF crimson color made her own
fair features for the moment even more
b~ewitchingly fair to look upon
Prince Clement Sing was having
hard work with himself to keep his ad-
miration within bounds, and the sight
OF that blush all but oyercame his
s~elf-control. But his English educa-
ton had done much to subdue his
naturally fiery spirit, and he knew sue
cess lay, not in passion, but persever-
ance.
But, Miss Derwent, much as I ad-
mire your constancy-and, of course,
so long as you consider yourself en-
gagged to Capt. Gordon my lips are
practically closed-still, l am driven
to remind you love is not everything.
Position and rank are something. A
lady is privileged to change her mind"
He stopped, and she seized the oppor-
tunity of speaking.
Il shall never change, Prince Glenn
ent. After my God, there is nothing
ranks higher with me than love"
He took her hand, smiling a little to
hide his chagrin.
Then my only hope must be that
love will yet take pity and yield your
heart to my prayers"
Again I repeat it is impossible; but
1 thank o for the great compliment
you have paid me-" she said. Il trust,
Prince Clement, you will forgive and
forget me-"
mo, l cannot promise to forget
you," was all his reply. He stood for
an instant then, looking half away,
half mortified, almost as if uncertain if
he should part with her in this SEEM
ing friendliness or in open rupture.
The former course evidently pre-
vailed, for he bent over the hand he
held, and his thick, black moustache
brushed its snowy whiteness.
If l can ever be of service to you.

bowling low again in response to Lii

with steady steps and head erect But
hidden deep down in his breast was
the gathering fury Of a maelstrom.
Within the drawing room, Lille
went to the window overlooking the
terrace, and, screened by the bamboo
and silk curtains, watched him mount
and ride away.
Her heart vas beating wildly, not
with exultation at the honor the
prince had done her, and which, not
SO many years ago., would have filled
her coquettish vanity with delight

ment of evil.
She fell on her knees in the gather
ing darkness, and a great yearning
over her for the fair English
home of her youth, and her father and
Don by her side in it's beloved sanctity.
And, all unconsciously, whilst she
prayed for their speedy return, hot
tears welled up into her eyes and fell
her clasped hands. Alas! for she
knew not how great was yet to be her
need of those prayers and tears!

OF MICHAEL +. coNNFIL COMES 70
AN END AFTER A MONTHS
ILLNESS WITH DRoPSY.
A Jovial, Good Hearted and Wen Known
Policeman Is Dead.-was City Pc
liceman for Many Years

The news of the death of Policeman
Michael F. Cornell, which occurred at
his home in the East End Monday even
ing about 40 o'clock, after an illness of
about month with dropsical troubles,
came as shock and surprise to his
many friends. It was generally known
that he was i'll, but his relatives did not
entertain the thought that the illness
was of a serious nature.
Michael F. Cornell was 40 years of
age. He was the son of Mrs. Catherine
Connell, who died few years ago, and
was born at Bridgeport, this county. For
the past twelve or fifteen years he has
been filling the position of city police
man, and has made an excellent officer.
Prior to the time of service in the po-
lice force he was engaged in mining work
and worked at several different mines,
principally in the mines near this city
and at Wilsonburg.
He was joviaI, good natured, whole
souled man, with the faculty of making
friends of all of his acquaintance. His
jolly face with its broad smile will be
sadly missed by a great many persons.
He is survived by wife, two dangh-
tiers, three brothers and four sisters.
He was married TO Miss Mary Nough-
ton, of Upshur county. To this union
We're born two daughters. Mary and
Genevieve. The former is about l6 years
of age, and the latter eleven. The sur
yiving brothers are Patrick Cornell and
John Connell, of this city and James Con-
nell, of Pittsburg. The sisters are: Miss
Bee Connell. Mrs. Thomas Gill, OF this
city, and Mrs. Patrick McDonough, of
Aionongah, and Mrs. James Doian, of
Parkersburg. III.
