n SICK MAN.

Rome, April 81, Advice; received
here state that King Edward is so
Frustrated as the result of fatigue in =
cident to his long trip that his physi-
clans have become alarmed and are
hurrying his departure from Malta.
His Majesty has been ordered to take
four days of complete rest aboard the
royal yacht at Naples before coming
to Rome. He will remain incognito
at Naples, not leaving the yacht.
In order to conceal the real state
of his health the King will receive no
one, not even those bringing address
from the British colony at Naples.
1t is now practically certain that the
great review at Rome will not take
place as the King will be unable to
stand the strain. 1t is also probable
that other features of the proposed
programme during his majesty's stay
in Rome will have to be omitted.

At The SEMINARY.

Quite large gathering both of stu
dents and townspeople attended the
public meeting of the Band and Aes-
thetic societies in the seminary chapel,
Tuesday evening. A place was re-
served on the stage for the presidents,
secretaries and chaplalns of the So
cieties, and disputants i'll the debate.
Mr.. Williams opened the Meeting
by playing an organ prelude which
was executed very cle1erly. The meet
ing was the called to order by Presi-
dent Howard of the Band society after
which the devotional exercises of the
evening were performed by the chap
lains of the two societies, B. Nc
Bride of the Band and Miss Edna
Dickinson of the Aesthetic. Miss Gel
ley, President of the Aesthetic then
called upon Mr.. Howard for an adj
dress of welcome which was followed
by piano solo by Miss Joslyn. Miss
Joslyn's ability as musician is too
well known to require comment and
her selection was much enjoyed by the
audience.
In the debate on the question, Re-
solved, That Strikes are Detrimental
to the Laboring Glass, the speakers on
each side showed much ability in dis
cussion, presented their arguments
clearly, concisely and altogether in a
T. amer that won much praise. G.. L.
Wells and Miss Delta Collins support
ed the affirmative side of the question
and @. b. Scott and Miss Mabel Stew
art were for the negative. Mr.. Bruce,
Misses Smith and Day were appointed
judges. Mr.. Bruce announced the
judges decision which was two for
the affirmative and one for the mega
tive.
The "Creole Love Song" by Miss
Pansy Severance was splendidly rem
dered as were also the recitations by
Mr.. Fox and Miss Page.

TERRIBLY PREVALENT.
Kidney Diseases Cause Increasing
rlortality.
Shun Alcoholic Kidney Cure, Say
Doctors.

1t is we'll known that kidney
troubles are terribly PREVALENT, and cut
down thousands every year.
The best efforts of physicians thus
far have failed to stay the ravages OF
the deadly disease, and the medicines
usually prescribed by practitioners
only afford temporary relief.
Those who have taken Kidney " ort
Tablets know that even when the kid
neys are so far affected that the urine
passes off in drops or is tinged with
blood, and when there are shooting,
cutting, and tearing pains in the loins,
or even in cases of complete suppress
sion of urine, DR.. Pettingill's Kidney
Wort Tablets can be depended upon
to effectively overcome the disease, if
the tablets are taken exactly as di-
rected. In the more advanced stages
of kidney disease Kidney Wort Tablets
relieve the congestion, and if honestly
used even those Respondent over
bright's disease and diabetes may be
assured of being cured.
Kidney Wort Tablets are the only
remedy in the world that has cured
Bright's disease and checked the excre-
tion of albumen into the urine
Are you experiencing any of the
symptoms that mark the various forms
of kidney disease? Are you sensible
of growing weakness. backache,
fugitive and obscure pains in the
lumbar region, drowsiness, emacia-
ton, shortness of breath, dizzy feel
ing, disturbed sleep? Do you note
brick dust deposit or mucous or milky
discharges and gravel in your urine?
Has your skin dry and harsh feel
ing burning at night? Have you
unusual thirst and scanty flow of
urine? Are you losing in weight and
strength?
Take Kidney Wort Tablets without
delay. They will stop the infiamma-
ton that is disintegrating the kid
neys. DR.. Pettingill's Kidney-W Wort
Tablets act directly upon the kidneys,
bladder, and urinary organs. They
have received the approval of the
ablest practitioners in the country.
They work promptly and Danish
every trace of the dread disease.
Kidney-Wo Tablets are the one
genuine specific capable Of curing
Bright's disease. The enormous daily
increase in sales leaves no doubt that
the tablets are making people we'll. ;

HEARING ON COAL ROADS.

New York, April 22.-At a special
sitting of the interstate commerce
commission yesterday, called to inves-
tigate charges that the coal carrying
roads violated the interstate commerce
law, Clarence J. Shearn for William
r. Hearst complainant, said it had
been proven that there was hard and
fast combination of the coal carrying
roads governing the amount of pro-
duction, the rate of freight charges
and the price of coal at tidewater.
He said the freight rates were unrea-
sonable and excessive by at least fifty
cents a ton and if this commission
should fix reduced rate it would go
far to restrain the power of this COM

Trio UBLE At THE PARK.

The contest over the election of
officers in the Vermont State Spirit
ualist association at the annual meet
ing held in this city last winter is
recalled by the story which comes
from Burlington regarding the condi-
tion of Queen City Park, which is
controlled by the Spiritualists.
The affairs of the Park associa-
ton are becoming more complicated
than ever and it is expected that be-
fore many days petition in chancery
for the appointment Of rec 9iver to
take charge will be entered in court.
The present board of directors are
charged with gross negligence and al
lowing the park to run down, and
with an object TO restoring it to it's
former condition the application has
been made by John Withell of Mont.
real, who claims to represent major
ity of the stockholders. 1t is said
that the, present management has
permitted the hotel to become Iun
down, the dock to go to ruin, and the
auditorium platform and seats to de-
cay. Lots have also been sold from
the land set apart as a common, and
the funds provided for the mainten
ance of the beauty of the park have
been otherwise used. The appoint
ment of a receiver, the granting of an
injunction against the association and
the appointment of special master
are prayed for that the association
may be reorganized, there being at
present two boards of directors elected
by opposing factions, their presidents
being DR., E. A. Smith OF Brandon
and James Crossett of Waterbury.
