Kilgore, O., April ia rather re-
markable case has just come to light in
this place. Mr.. John I. Riegle had been
suffering. for some time with an aggra-
waited form of Kidney disease which had
caused him great deal of discomfort:
He tried the treatment of several doc
tors, but did not get any better. At last
he CHANGED to read an advertisement Of
Dodd's Kidney Pills, remedy which has
been making many wonderful cures, and
he bought some at once and began to use
them. He says of the result:
"Dodd's Kidney Pills do just what they
are advertised to do. l can praise them
for the good they have done for me-.
They cured me completely after the doc.
tors had failed, and wish that every
poor sufferer could hear of them. for I
know they will cure Kidney trouble"
There seems to be no case of Kidney
Trouble, Rheumatism or Backache that
Dodd's Kidney Pills will not cure per-
fectly and permanently.

A LEADING republican paper OF New
York opposes the custom of transporting
the Liberty Bell from Philadelphia to
other cities on the occasion of fairs, &c,
aud among other things, says:
The Liberty Bell is precious relic,
belonging, in sentiment, at least, to the
whole nation. All Americans are inter
ested in its safety, and must regard with
misgivings the practice of cartiDg II
about the country, and thus subjecting
it to danger of destruction in some rail-
road accident. They areinterested, too,
in preserving the fitness of things, and
thus in saving an honOred object from
being cheapened and degraded. The
bell is cheapened aud degraded when it
is removed from its proper setting, and
its only proper setting is in Indepen-
dence Hall. There it typi6es the pro-
clamation of liberty to ali the land.
The Liberty Bell was rendered cheap
long before the custom arose of trans
porting it from city to city. 1T is now
standing rebuke to the nation whose
birth it announced on that memorable
Fourth of July, 1776. It no longer ap
peals to the great majority of the people
of this country, and, like the Palladium
of old. is more fitted for a museum than
as an incentive to patriotism.

FRIDAY EVENING. NOV. IS. 1904.

TIE VISIT of Prince Fushimi OF Japan
TO Alexandria yesterday brings to mind
"reminiscences of by-gone days. Forty
four years ago the Philadelphia, an iron
steamboat, belonging to the old mail
fleet of steamers running between Wash
inoton. Alexandria and Aqua creek,
stopped at the foot of Prince street, hav-
ing the Japanese embassy aboard. A
number of Alexandrians gathered on the
pier to take look at the visitors. They
were as much acuriosity as an Afghan
or Korean delegation would be now
The Mongolians were attired In orien-
tai costume, the fashion of which had
not changed for several thousand years.
Some carried swords about as long as
bowie knives. double.edged, blunt and
more useful as batons than anything
else. Their money was mOrtised 80 as
it could be placed on wires like counters
over a billiard table. They were inotien'
siye curiosities of the genus homo.
The steamer subsequently proceeded 10
the Washington navy yard where they
were welcomed and entertained by the
officials of the government. Times have
changed during the two score and a nall
wears which have elapsed, aud the Prince
who landed near the same wharf yesser-
d4y bore all the appearance Of modern
ROYALTY, being the representative OF q
nation whose military and naval proves
has crown so much in recent times as to
place it in position to attack one OF
the foremost nations of the world. The
old steamer which brought the japanese

being transported over the Potomac IN

auese patronized a regular passenger
steamer, while the Harriet Lane (the
Sylph of that day. was used for the ac-
commodation of the Prince of Wales the
same year.

Chicago, Nov. 18.-Mysterious fric-
ton among, members of the beet trust

been formed to fight the Armour inter-
ests, which are alleged to be dictatorial
and have created jealousy because of sue
cess in ccrnering eggs, fiuit and other
food supplies by the gigantic cold stor-
age system. When the National Pack
ing Company, with its $4,000, 900

as an incentive to patriotism

THE WASHINGTON Financial Review,
in its last issue, contains an interesting
article on the banks of Alexandria anc
their rapid business growth. tits shown
from the September reports that thel'
total resources were 81, S2S, $50. "a and
the total deposits 81, TAT, 945.SS. Con-
tinuing, the Review says:
This is a creditable showing for our
neighboring city, and is its own indica.
ton on its face of important commercial
growth within hailing distance of Wash
ingtor. The clearipgs of the city are
not known, but must be large; but the
commercial advancement of the city is
sufficient to indicate the need Of more
banks and better banking facilities gen.
orally.
Apart from banking interests, there
are distinctive commercial features of the
city which are worthy of special notice.
But these can only be touched in this
article. The lesser facts are included in
the single statement that Alexandria,
with its 1000 population, is ahead of
Washington, with its ole-third of a mil
lion, as a manufacturing aud wholesale
center.

were seven jurymen in the box when the

The Catholic University

The board of trustees Of the Catholic
University, which has been meeting in
Washington for two days, adjourned yes
terday until the second Wednesday after
Easter. In all four sessions were held,
during which the principal topic of dis
cussio1 was the finances of the institu-
ton. There wass also informal consid-
Grafton OF the letter of the Marquise de
Monsters erinyille, founder of the uni
yersity, in which he made public her
Remuneration of the Catholic religion.
At the university last night, at the con-
clusion of the afternoon session, it was
announced that notwithstanding the
Waggaman failure, by which the uni
versity will lose at least part of the
1876, 900 which had been invested
through him, the work of the institution
would 60 on with greater vigor than ever
before. 1t was positively stated that no
action was taken by the trustees re
garding the Marquise de Monster letter.
