Reads Like a Miracle.

Frlarspoint, Miss, Nov. 3O.-The
Butler case still continues to be the
talk of the town. Mr.. G. l.. Butler, tho
father of the little boy, says:
THE doctor said my boy had disease
of the spinal cord, and treated him
for two months, during which he got
worse all the time. Finally the doctor
told me he did not know what was tho
trouble. The boy would wake up dur
ing the night and say that he was
dying. He would be nervous and trem-
bling and would want to run from the
house. saying he saw ugly things
which frightened him. After we had
tried everything else, I read an adver-
tisement of Dodd's Kidney Pills as q
cure for Nervous Troubles. l pur-
chased some and used them until he
had taken altogether eight boxes when
he was sound and well with not a sin
gle symptom of the old trouble This
was some months ago. and feel sure
that he is permanently cured. We owe
to Dodd's Kidney Pills all the credis
for his restoration to good health"

Most Valuable Public Institutions.

Most Valuable Public Institutions.
Press dispatches in annuncing tho
assassination of Andrew II. Green by
crazy negro continually spoke OF him
as the Father of Greater New York"
Mr.. Green did other things quite as i'm
portant for the benefit of the public.
He was one of the men who helped
induce the state to purchase Niagara
Falls Reservation, the great park sur
rounding the American side of the
falls. He has been president of tho
board since 1887. Ii may be of interest
to know also that he was one of the
executors of the will of Samuel J.
Tilden and of William B. Ogden. The
following regarding the way in which
he obtained the name of Father OF
Greater New York" is from the Buffalo
Express:
His Niagara Falls associations were
typical of his life work. He held many
public offices, but mostly without pay.
He was a representative-perh the
very best in the state-of that broad
public spirit which seeks the good of
ones fellows, the welfare of posterity.
and finds the dearest reward for his
labors in the knowledge that he has
done or has helped to do good work.
In the metropolis where he lived they
called him the Father of Greater New
York" He was proud of that title
and he had earned it. So long ago as
1868 he worked out a plan for the
consolidation of the cities of New York
and Brooklyn and surrounding terri
tory. When finally, in 1897, consolida-
tion was brought about, it was found
that the plan of government which
Andrew Fl Green had drawn up almost
thirty years before was the most work.
able one that could be devised. and II
is the plan under which New York Is
governed to-day. AS he was one of tho
prime movers in the establishment OF
the state park at Niagara Falls. 80.
many years before, he was one OF those
who had most to do with the creation
of Central park New York He be-
came the first president and executive
officer of the Central Park Board, and
held that office during the entire for

Depew Withdrawing From Business.
From q numerical nnint of view,

From numerical point or view,
Senator Depew is the champion direc-
tor of the United States. and probably
lof the world, but he finds that he has
too much to do. Therefore, he has
determined to curtail his business re-
sponsibilties and is Withdrawing from
some of the seventy or more corpora
tions with which he has been con-
nected. 1t is not generally known
that for over year Mr.. Depew has
had little or nothing to do with the
actual management Of New York Cen
trail affairs. Since he became senator
he has found some of his business
connections inconvenient, and since
his recent marriage his inclination to
follow constantly the path of official
routine has become perceptibly weak
ened.
