A FAMOUS BcM.

One of the biggest bells in the world
is in Cologne cathedral and is known
as the "Gloriosa." 1t was cast from
twenty-five French cannon captured in
the Franco Prussian war and was pre-
sented to the cathedral by the kaiser.
1t bears the German arms and two in
scriptions. One, in Latin, expresses the
emperor's gratitude for the divine mer-
cy in granting him victory. The other,
in German, declares: Il am the emper-
or's bell, and 1 proclaim his glory.

matchless means which the master
physician has brought to the aid of
science; that the attention of the
whole civilized world is now drawn to
the unceasing wonder of results, in
wolves no mystery.
TO the rare gift of healing has been
added the rarest opportunities and
training, and the cures of the great y
Ray doctors are but the natural tri-
umphs of their lives.
DR.. Horne wishes to emphasize the
fact that during the summer months
chronic diseases of whatever nature
are cured in one-half the time that
would be required during the inclem-
ent winter weather. Nature lends her
aid to the physician and cures are
accomplished at this season of the
year in a comparatively short time.
DRHORNE CURING THE SICK.
Each week, standing boldly out
from amidst the failures of others,
DIR. Horne publishes the names and
addresses of people cured, people well
known in the community, people
whose standing forbids the thought
of their lending their names to amy
but an honest statement. The people
ask themselves. what does this mean,
and the answer imprcSses itself up
on them with a force that compels
conviction. Nothing but merit and
real conscientious work could pro-
duce such results and make such
record as this.
FREE N-RAY EXAMINATION
DR.. Horne never accepts a case
unless he knows to u certainty the
cause of the trouble. and this can only
be determined by a scientific eXamin-
alton. His N-Ray outfit is the most
elaborate and complete in this coun-
try. BY his special microscopic at
tachment he is able to examine all
| parts of the body and find out to an
absolute certainty the cause of the
patients affection. Come and be eN-
amined; it is absolutely free. He viii
not charge you one cent. Come and
find out what your trouble is and he
will advise you in reference to a cure.
| 1t is all free. He asks no compensa-
ton.

in the inclosed special report have been
made the subject of special investiga-
tions; in some instances these have
been conducted by courts-martial and
their findings and sentences have been
duly promulgated in orders; in others
the inquiries have been intrusted to in
spectors, or to officers designated for
that purpose by the commanding gen
eral in the Philippines. Where admin
lstrative action has been called for,
as result of such Investigations, it
has been taken by the proper military
commander, if the parties continued
within his jurisdiction; in other cases
the matter has been submitted to the
department with a view to a resort to
such punitive remedial orders as were
deemed appropriate and these repre-
sentations have resulted in number
of cOurt-martial trials. AS to some
phases of these inquiries the investiga-
tions are not yet complete and refer
ence of the papers to the Philippine
islands or officers who are now serving
in the United States has been neces-
sary. Whether the necessity for any
further administrative action, in ad-
dition to that already taken, will be
disclosed as a result of such investiga-
tion can only be determined when in
spection reports are received at the
department"
Gen. Davis explains that the in
quiries are especially difficult because
the incidents complained of were not
made known at the time and officers
and soldiers of the volunteer army
have been named to be discharged.
The Rice Supplies.
He discusses at some length the dis
tribution of rice in the provinces of
Batangas and Cavite, which is mat
ter that has been considered in the de-
partment. It is explained that in or
der to restore civil order and to pro-
vision the people in the concentra tion
camps it was determined by Gen. Bell
with the approval of the commanding
general that purchases of rice should
be made by the subsistence depart
ment, the latter to be reimbursed by
the military government. Upon this
point Gen. Davis says:
''The measures resorted to were die
tated by military necessity; they were
undertaken with the approval of the
local military commander and were
calculated to meet an emergency of
impending famine in such a way as to
relieve actual distress without pauper-
izing the native population and with
out casting the burden of their sup
port upon the insular treasury when
public order had been restored and the
provinces relegated to civil control.
AS the distress increased after the
military occupation had terminated
and the demand for relief continued
without substantial abatement the
balance of profits accruing from the
sales of rice by the military govern
ment was transferred to the insular
treasury and applied by the civil gov
ernment to the relief of the widespread
distress occasioned by the prevalencc1
of cholera and famine in the provinces
of Southern and Southeastern Luzon."

OF the territory of Minnesota, died at
his residence, 265 Exchange street, St..

well as to the people of Minnesota, to
whom he was known during long
and honorable public career
Alexander Ramsey was born near TIar-
r1sburg. Pa, on Sept. 8, 1915. His father,
Ihomas Ramsey, was of Scotch descent,
which early in the eighteenth century
settled in Pennsylvania:
From his parents he inherited a strong
constitution and taste for study, which
was developed during his boyhood by his
schoolmaster, Isaac D. Rupp, who after
wards became prominent as a historical
writer in Pennsylvania.
His father died when he was about 10
years old, and Frederick Kelker, a grand
uncle, gave the orphan boy a home. =
studying law y With Xrcks Of
Harrisburg, and two years later, when he
was "a years of age, he was admitted to
the bar.
Within short time he had established
himself in practice at Harrisburg, and
devoted himself largely to the settlement
and administration of estates. He be-
came quite successful and secured a large
clientage.
While paying strict attention to his
business, he also found time to engage
in the active political campaign Of 1840,
and the following year was elected chief
clerk of the Pennsylvania house of repre-
sentatives.
In 1S43 he was elected to congress from
the district composed of Dauphin, Leba-
non and Schuylkill counties.
In congress he was a useful rather than
ornamental member, making no attempt
at oratorical display. He exhibited un-
usual practical ability, and was noted for
attending to the interests of his district.
In the following year he was reelected
and would have undoubtedly received
third term had he not declined a renom-
ination.
On retiring from his congressional du-
ties, Mr.. Ramsey resumed his law prac-
tice, but could not entirely withdraw
