GAINESVILLE.

One thousand dollars reward has been
offered for the arrest and conviction of
the person or persons who on the night
of May q set fire to the house and barns
of William Lathers of the town of Tur-
tie. Belief has been growing ever since
the fire that it was of incendiary origin
and while Mr. Lathers himself has been
rather slow to make such charge out
right, his neighbors and friends feel GER
tain that rascally deed has been done.

the city with the Luella Forepaugh Fish

cleverly was the accident concealed that
none of the spectators suspected that
anything was wrong.

sketches are given of noted American
women in England, but only two pho
to-engravings appear in the article,
those of Mrs. Joseph Chamberlain, who
was Miss Endicott of Boston, and Lady
Grey Egerton, formerly Miss May Guy
Ter, of New Jersey, who is presented
as one of the most beautiful American
women in the peerage, and her picture
gives evidence that this is true.
Lieut.. Gen. John B. Gordon, C.. S. A,
and Maj. Gen. John A. Logan, u. S.
v, were the two great civilian soldiers
of the Civil War, and both were the
idols of the men who so CALAMITY
served under their superb leadership.
When the war came to an end both
had reached the highest positions of
subordinate command in the field. Cor
don was very near to Gen. Lee in the
final surrender, while Logan was just
ly reinstated as commander of the
Army of the Tennessee" in the final
review at Washington, D. c., of Sher-
mans army. After the war both be-
came United States senators, and Lo-
gan was elected COMMUNICATIVE chief of
the Grand Army of the Republic, while
Gordon was later on chosen command
der-in-chief of the United Confederate
veterans. The love and honor and es-
teen they had won from their brave
soldiers in war chung to them in peace,
in these great organizations over which
they were unanimously called to pre-
side. OF the two men, in war and in
peace, Gordon was always the superior
of Logan. Both were ideal soldiers
and on parade were the center of at
traction, yet Gordon was the finer fig
ure, with more impressive presence,
whether on horseback or afoot And
in the Senate chamber or on the lee
ture PLATFORM Gordon's superiority to
Logan was clearly evident. Both were
born soldiers, and in their military ca
reers they displayed most excellent
generalship and the highest type of pa
triotic valor. Forrest and Hampton
and Loring were also illustrious civilian
soldiers, yet we must not forget that
all the great generals in supreme COM
mand, on both sides, during the Civil
War, were West Pointers Few men,
like Logan, Gordon, and Forrest, are
born to command, and these rare ex-
ceptIons do not constitute a just claim
that military education b a useless
expense. Gordon's record is as good
as any West Pointers, so far as it
went, but the Confederacy had only
one Gordon, and but one Wizard Of
the Saddle" in Nathan Bedford For
rest We shall probably never see

the Origin of Memorial Day" in Co

my next letter. AS I was an editor in
that city in the early seventies, the
matter in controversy is familiar to
me, and the ladies on both sides of
the controversy were my esteemed
friends. I see that the Tampa
Daily Times is advocating Gen. Allen
Thomas of that city for adjutant gen.
eral of the Florida State Troops. If
there is to be a change Gen. Thomas
would be good man to fill that po-
sition. He is a son of ex-Gov. Thorn
as of Maryland, a brother-in-law of
Lieut. Gen. Dick" Taylor c. S. A.,
son of Gen. Zachary Taylor, and was
himself a gallant Confederate general.
He is a gentleman of culture and
something of an orator, and has filed
important public stations since the
war. Well WE'LL! 1t seems in

The Value Of Charcoal.
Few People Know How Useful IL Is
in Preserving Health and Beauty.

in Preserving Health and Beauty.
Nearly everybody knows that char
coal is the safest and most efficient
disinfectant and purifier in nature, but
few realize its value when taken into
the human system for the same cleans
ing purpose.
Charcoal is a remedy that the more
you take of 1t the better; it is not a
drug at all, but simply absorbs the
gases and impurities always present in
the stomach and intestines and carries
them out of the system.
Charcoal sweetens the breath after
smoking, drinking or after eating on
ions and other odorous vegetables.
Charcoal effectually clears and i'm.
proves the complexion. 1t whitens the
teeth and further acts as a natural and
eminently safe cathartic.
It absorbs the injurious gases which
collect in the stomach and bowels: it
disinfects the mouth and throat from
the poison of catarrh.
All druggists sell charcoal in ona
form or another. but probably the best
charcoal and the most for the money
is in Stuart's Absorbent Lozenges: thew
are composed of the finest powdered
Willow charcoal. and other harmless
antiseptics in tablet form or rather in
the form of large, pleasant tasting loz-
enges, the charcoal being mixed with
honey.
Inc daily use of these lozenges will
soon tell in a much improved condition
of the general health, better comnlex-

harm can result from their continued
use. but on the contrary, great benefit

Several famous American physi-
clans and surgeons were recently din
ing together after a session of a ma
tional meeting held in New York.
II had a remarkable case this win
ter" remarked a surgeon present,
whose name as a specialist in rectal
diseases is world wide. MY patient
was a woman. a delicate. nerve racked
creature, who had suffered so fear
fully from the ravages of hemorrhoids
that The knife seemed the only solu-
ton of the trouble, and yet her heart
was weak and her strength so wasted
by this fearful disease, that we dared
not operate.
Il had ceased my visits to her for
time and had given up all hope, when
one morning she entered my office
looking like new woman: the pallor
had disappeared and the lines of suf-
fering were nearly eradicated from
her face. She told me she had bought
at a drug store for fifty cents a pro-
prietary medicine in suppository form
called Pyramid Pile Cure, and had
obtained instant relief from the first
insertion. l made an examination and
found the rectum in excellent condi-
ton. the Inflammation entirely disap-
peared and the swollen veins in nor

Il was so interested in the case that
had the remedy analysed carefully
and was so pleased with the result OF
the analysis, finding a combination OF
the most healing and scientific rene
dies present in the Pyramid Pile Cure
and in a more convenient form than I
could secure them otherwise. that l
