Paine'sCelery
Compound
CURES RHEUMATISM.

Rheumatism, which does its terrible work
in the muscles, joints, and tissues, is caused BY
arc acid which gathers in the blood. To get
rid of this poisonous acid which produces tho
irrita,ions, pains, agonies, inhammations, and
swellincs peculiar to rheumatism, Paine's
Celery Compound should be used without
delay No other medicine gives such prompt,
cheering, and happy results. It is the only
medicine that prevents return OF the dreaded
disease. Paine's Celery Compound braces
the nerves, the blood is quickly cleared OF all
irritating poisons, tissue and muscle are built
up, and the digestive organs perfectly toned.
Do not treat with indifference the slightest
rheumatic symptoms; the early use OF Paine's
Celery Compound will save you weeks and
months of suffering. Mr.. S. d. Conway,
St. Louis, Mo-, was permanently cured by
Paine's Celery Compound after repeated fail
ures with other medicines and physicians; he
says:- =.
~ am Ga years of age, and have lived in
St. Louis II years, and all this time with the
exception of three years, have served in the
Engineers Department as Inspector. Last
winter contracted rheumatism and was land
up. tried all remedies and doctors, but all
failed until struck Paine's Celery Compound,
which has made permanent cure in my case.
I have recommended it to many, and they
have used it with the same result.

$4,000 Damages for SANDER.

The case of Samuel d. Wilson VS.. p.
w. Clement, which is to be tried at the
October term of the United States
court at Rutland, will probably create
as much interest as any other case on
the docket Wilson seeks to recover
damages to the amount of $4,000 for
alleged slanderous and malicious Ian
guage used by Mr.. Clement during his
gubernatorial campaign tour of a year
ago. Wilson is the spotter who shot and
killed one Edward Goshea at White
River Junction. He was afterwards
tried and acquitted on the ground of
self defense. 1t is alleged that Mr.,
Clement, during the course of his
speeches, referred to Wilson as a muir
derer, etc, and it is for this language
that Wilson seeks to recover damages.

Maximilian's Unfortunate Widow 0y.
ina in a Relaian Castle.

Carlotta, the unhappy widow OF the
Inflated Emperor Macmillan Of Mex
ico Is said to be dying at the Chateau
de Bonchat, near Brussels, Belgium
She still holds a mock trial daily fan
cying herself yet empress of Mexico,
for she has been bereft of reason for
thirty-seven years. To humor her mad
brain, the attendants affect the graces
of a court circle and pretend that she
presides over their entertainments and
household affairs.
There are those who claim that the
ex- empress who Is the only sister Of
King Leopold of Belgium, was poisoned
by the deadly loco root" secretly in
troduced into her food before she left

eign troops to leave Mexico. which they
had invaded during our civil war; set
ting up as emperor Macmillan, broth
err Of Emperor Francis Joseph of Aus
tria. The poison of this root acts upon
the brain and produces insanity.
Carlotta was a girl of seventeen when
she became Maximilian's bride in 1857.
1t was love match, and the ten years
of their welded life were continuous
honeymoon. Macmillan was over
thrown, captured, led out behind hill
at daybreak one morning. and just as
the sun peeped over the horizon he fell
dead, his heart pierced by bullets fired
by the execution guard"
Before the capture of the emperor.

the court of the willy Napoleon Ill, and

King Leopold seldom sees her, 1t is

Greatest Electric Car Speed.

An electric car has been run at the
rate of LOG As miles an hour on the
Zossen military road. Berlin which is
said to be the highest speed ever at
tanned The engineers in charge of
the experiments expect that 1875 miles
an hour will be reached. The expe-
rimenting company, which is composed
of various electrical companies and
banks organized for this purpose, has
just resumed the trials for the third
time. II was found last year. when a
speed of 99la miles was achieved. that
the 70-pound rails and ordinarily bal
lasted roadbed would not stand the
strain. Since then the road has been
reconstructed with broken basalt and
closely set with pine ties faced with
oak, so as to combine the springiness
of the pine and the hardness of the oak.
The new rails weigh little over a hun
dred pounds. Alterations have been
made in the motor.

A lane: the grass is ripe and brown,
And in the rude fence corners nod
In sleepy crowds of blue and gold
The aster and the golden-rod;
The crickets Groom their lullabies
And far away in smoky blue.
You fancy that the distant hills
Are hiding dreams away from you.
A maiden, tall and womanly,
With eyes that match the asters' hue +;
She stands among the golden-rod
And dips her fingers in the dew:
She seems to listen and to wait
All, heaven! Her round, white, per.
feet arms
And pulsing throat-the very skies
Seem dropping, drunken with her
charms!
A man: from out the gathring dusk
A quick, firm step is drawing near;
1t brushes down the flowers and stirs
The crickets' song with sudden fear.
She does not raise her blue, blue eyes,
But something in the time or place
The soft, warm fingers in his own
The dropping head so near his face
A kiss: this earth with all it's ills
Slips silently away in space;
And heaven drops softly down and
makes
The narrow lane its dwelling place.
The crickets' song is hushed; and far
Far off from out the smoky blue
Beyond the hills, those happy dreams
OF long ago, come back to you.

Struggle for Abyssinian Throne.

Dispatches from Massowah, Abyssin-
la, announce that King Menelek's
health is growing more precarious and
there are so many pretenders to the
throne that when he dies a struggle is
certain. If he had direct heir there
would be no difficulty, but as his only
daughter, Zandietou, married a simple
colonel, for love, her children would
not be considered worthy to mount the
throne. This leaves several generals
as claimants to the power. There is
Ras Manzascha, and the sons of Ras
Darguie, uncle of Menelek.

THE STREETS CLEARED.
Innovation In Progressive Method In
 Scrubbing Thoroughfares.

Progress is the watchword of Bir- mingham. Possibly the full meaning of the word had not dawned upon many until yesterday, when the climax of progressiyeness was reached by the scrubbing of the streets of the city. 1t is not recorded in the annals of other cities that such progressive steps have been taken before, and 1t remains therefore for Birmingham to take the lead.
 Fully equipped with many lengths of hose, goodly supply of pearline and soapine, a dozen veterans of the chaingang sallied forth from the city hall yesterday afternoon to literally clean with water the thoroughfares in the business section of the city, and to do it as thoroughly as the marble tiling that constitutes the flooring in the public and office buildings is treated
 With large copper nozzles close to the streets the workmen commenced their labor. Gushing from the nozzles the swift current of water swept mud before them. In the wake of the force of men gleamed shining and cleanly streets, which few moments before had been seas of mud. Up and down Twentieth went the scrubbing gang. until the street was transformed. The cleaning of streets in this manner is an innovation in Birmingham. It was commented on by hundreds of people.
