was several years a freight engineer on
the Consolidated. His run was changed
and he moved to Providence and was mar
ried about four years ago. He left Prov
idence and went out West.
After staying in Minneapolis for awhile
he went to Kansas. He wrote to his moth
er last January from that State. The next
intimation of his whereabouts came
through a Providence man. who said he
saw Talcott in Montgomery City, No., and
that he was sick and about to enter the
st. Louis Hospital.
Mrs. Talcott's brother. Surgeon General
Lester S. Shill. on the staff of Governor
Garvin OF Rhode Island. went to st. Louis
last Saturday and 1t is through his inves-
LEGATION of the case that the fate Of Tai
colt was discovered.
The doctor searched the records of the
City Dispensary at st. Louis and found
that Talcott was taken there on March
is. He had pneumonia and was trans
ferrcd to the City Hospital. where hts
death occurred. No papers were found
ject, n the body was turned over to he
Anatomical Board on March "a.
The records show that the body had
gone to Washington University. and Doc
tor Hill went to that institution in hope
OF recovering II. A search proved, how
ever, that Il was not among the subjects
saved for the fall term. and 1t seems
probable that it was dissected last spring.
Talcett was a member OF the Brother
hood OF Locomotive Engineers. a member
of Union Lodge, No. 81, Free and Ac<
cepted Masons OF this city.

Society at the livery City was somewhat
chilled last week. This was not from the
Lack OF gay doings and social functions,
nor was the chillinesS due to the scanti-
ness of the mantle of hospitality, for be it
known that the mantle of hospitality at
The Worlds Fair is very warm, thick and
of elastic quality. The chilliness was due
entirely to the weather. Jack Frost has
taken up his abode In the Ivory City, and
he is Il crusty individual and does not like
to see the ladies wearing blllowy white
gowns that vie with his whiskcrs in
whiteness.
The gas back logs blazcd in the wide
fireplaces in some of the State buildings
and added to the picturesque scene, but
gas logs will not heat a large building
thoroughly. and the chilliness remained.
1t reminded the guests and hosts and
hostess that the festivities of the Worlds
Fair would soon he Of the past.
Some of the wise ores predicted that
the social side of the Worlds Fair would

BRILLIANT AFFAIR.
The most brilliant affair In the history
IF the Worlds Fair was the reception of
he New York Commission, given at the
New York State Pavilion In honor of Gov
ernor and Mrs. Odell. The Empire State
contended with his Majesty the Yelled
ST9phet Ior the attendance OF the elite.
Neither lost n neither won. for there
was a constant exchanging of guests dur
;ng the evening. Those who attended the
Yelled Prophets ball early in the evening
Empire. State Governor. and those who
flrSt paid their respects to Governor Odell
rushed down to greet his Majesty, the
Prophet. before he should return to the
and oil mortals and become an ordinary
man. and to pay homage to his newly
crowned queen
More than 5000 persons attended the
New York bail. and the stately building
until late at night.
Some fifty couples remained until the
wee sma' hours. and when the gentlemen
went In search of their shiny opera tiles,
slouch hats and caps of every description,
but not an opera hat. Since then the gen
tlemen have been trying to change the
style of headgear for men in full dress.
They are undecided as to whether It shall
be an American beauty rose or a lace
scarf.
The reception was held in the grand
salon, the receiving line was stationed
near the grand staircase. Governor and
Mrs. Odell stood at the head of the line.
The guests were introduced by Major

Tho Preaeher,s Evidence.

Roland, ILL.,, June 27.-Diabetcs has
SO long been looked upon as an in
durable form of kidney disease that
a sure cure for it must rank as one of
the most valuable medical discoveries
Of the age. And every day brings
forth fresh evidence that Qodd s Kid
ney Pills will Qure diabetes. I'm
portant evidence in their favor is Civ
en- by Rev. Thos. p. Norman, the we'll
known Baptist minister here. Mr..
Norman says:
Il had all the symptoms Of a bad
case of diabetes and received so much
benefit from the use of Dodd's Kid.
ney Pills that | cheerfully recommend
them to anyone suffering from that
dread disease. Dodd's Kidney Pills
will cure the worst form of diabetes"
Dodd's Kidney Pills always cure
diabetes, one Of the final stages OF
kidney disease. All the earlier stages
from backache to rheumatism are
naturally much more easily cured by
the same remedy.
