that General Corbin was to succeed
Lieutenant General S. b. NJ. Young as
chief Of staff on the latters retirement
ON Jan. 9.
As diplomat and politician in the
army General Corbin has never been
excelled. and 1t has been alleged that
the only road to promotion in the army
has been through his good graces.
Corbin's ambition has been to reach
supreme command of the army. With
the recent change the rank Of COM
manding general ceased and General
Corbin needed only to become chief Of
STAFF to realize his dream. That he
may not be chief of staff now seems
likely, as General Chaffee does not re-
tire until April IA, 1906 General Cor
bin will retire five months later, and it
is improbable that he would be given
such a temporary honor

STRONGEST EVIDENCE OF FAITH.
j. NJ. Reed Guarantees That Hyomsi
Will Cure the Worst Case of Catarrh
in Morgautown.

When one Of the most reputable
concerns in Morgantown guarantees
that medicine wil-effect sure
cure or it will refund the money, it
speaks volumes as TO the merits of
that remedy. IL is in this way that j.
NJ. Reed is selling Hyomei, the treat
mcnt that has made so many remark
able cures of both acute and chronic
catarrh In Morgantown aud vicinity.
Hyomei is not pill nor is it a
liquid that has to be taken with ia
blespoon or wineglass. just breathe
1t by the aid of an inhaler that comes
in every outfit and benefit will be
seen from the FIRST treatment.
1t destroys all germ life in the air
passages and lungs and enriches and
purifles the blood with additional
ozone. It cures catarrh of the head
and throat, or of the stomach, kid
neys and liver. Wherever mucous
membrane contains catarrhal germs,
there Hyomei will do its work OF
healing, When using this treatment
the air you breathe will be found like
that on the mountains high above
the sea level, where grow balsamic
trees and plants which make the air
pure by giving of volatile anticeptic
fragrance that is healing to the res
piratory organs.
A complete Hyomei outfit costs but
$1.00, and includes an inhaler, drop.
per and sufficient Hyomei for several
weeks treatment.
Remember that II Hyomei does not
cure you j. M. Reed will refund your
money. This is good time to cure
catarrh by this natural method and
prevent catarrhal colds that are SO
common at this season.

The Dying Mans Joke.

The antiquary stood in the Union
League, contemplating, his hands be-
hind his back, the excellent. portrait
of Thaddeus Stevens. Whenever
study this painting of my old friend"
he said, 81 am reminded of jest
that Stevens made when he was
dying, to two of the attendants at
the capitol at Washington. Up to
almost the last Stevens insisted on
participating in the sessions OF Con-
gress, and these two men carried him
daily from his hotel in great chair to
his desk. He was worn down to skin
and bone at this time: it was clear
he was not much longer for this
earth; but his two servitors were
huge, lusty and young men. Hence l
think that there was good deal Of
delicate humor and pathos in the re-
mark he made to them one day, as
they were carrying him, as usual, over
to the Capitol What will | do he
said, for carriers-how will get to
my desk safely and comfortably
when you two giants are dead and
gone "-Philadelphia Record.

fed from the house in dismay. She
stayed away, too, and brought suit
for divorce. And now Judge Dale will

the man who could swear six straight
hours after only four weeks Of mar

USE A TsLEoRAPH NH.NlC
How Bachelors May Safely Make
Promises of Marriage.

Lawyer Abe Hummel is authority
for the statement that il bachelors
who wish to avoid breach of promise
suits will use telegraph blanks In do
ing their proposing they will always
keep on the safe side. He bases this
assertion on an incident in West
chester county breach of promise
case, in which Mr. Hummel appeared
for the defendant. The PLAINTIFFS
lawyer began to read the alleged pro-
posal of the defendant to the jury, as
it appeared on message blank. He
began with MY dearest Louisa.
Mr. Hummel interrupted. III the
court please, this document is partly
printed and partly written. By all the
rules of evidence the plaintiff cannot
offer parts of that instrument He
must read it ALL"
The opposing lawyer protested that
the printed matter had nothing to do
with the case, and the fact taat the
proposal was written on telegraph
blank was an accident The court
ruled that everything on the blank
should be read Reluctantly the plain
tiff's counsel read:
There is no liability on account OF
this message unless the same is re-
peated, and then only on condition
that the claim is made within thirty
days in writing" And then, after the
signature, Yours lovingly, John"

NOT THE FAULT OF THE FISH.
Minister Saw No Reason for Declining
Gift.


The Rev. Cyrus Townsend Brady,
the minister-author, has country
house on the Delaware, and is very
fond of the shad that run up this
broad stream in the spring and early
summer.
The fishermen of the neighborhood
are aware of Mr.. Brady's weakness,
and take pains to cater to it. They
never fail on the first spring casting,
of the seine, to present one OF their
largest shad to the clergyman.
But last spring the first cast was
made on Sunday, and the fishermen
hesitated, therefore, about making
Mr.. Brady their usual gift. Finally,
though, they decided to risk it, and
one of their number called at the
Brady residence with fine shad.
Mr. Brady" he said, Il took the lib
erty of bringing you this fish,"
THANK you, Tom. Thank you said
the minister. and he relieved the
other of the shad.
only must tell you that the catch
was made on Sunday, sir"
Mr.. Brady frowned, he half extend
