HON. ROBERT r. HIT.

time private secretary of Senator oliver
p. Morton, one of the great republican
leaders of the day, and through him kept
in close touch with the party policy.
In October, 1874, Mr.. Hit was married
to Miss Sallie Reynolds, of Lafayette
Ind, and it needs no gushing society re-
porter to say of Mrs. Hit to-day that she
is one of the most distinguished and al
the same time one of the most popular
women in the city of Washington where
for nearly 20 years she has been recog.
nized as social leader. Born in Ohio,
living in Illinois since his early child
hood, and married to brilliant Indiana
woman, Mr.. Hit seems TO possess the
best possible attributes for warm sup
port in three influential states
1t i: probably true to-day that Mr.. Hit
is the greatest living American author
ity on the active diplomacy of the new
world. There has been scarcely any de-
velopment in our foreign relations
within d generation with which he has
not had more or less to do. Grant al-
pointed him secretary of legation al
Paris in December, 1874, while he was
on his wedding tour, and for six years
the home of the Hits in the French cap
ital was the scene of the most brilliant
congregations of American in all Eu-
rope. Two sons-Robert Reynolds and
William Floyd Hitt-were born abroad,
but were American citizens, as a matter
of course.
In 1882, Congressman Hawk, Of what
I was then the sixth Illinois district, died
suddenly two days before the time set
for the congressional convention. A
committee called on Mr.. Hit at his home
at Mount Morris, much to his surprise,
and he was nominated and elected, serv-
ing the people of his district faithfully
and well from that day to this, period
Of twenty-five years
As a matter of course. Mr.. Hits diplo-
matte experience gave him an immedi-
ate berth on the foreign affairs commit
tee. He had an intimate connection with
the celebrated Cutting case, which
nearly resulted in war with Mexico, and
1t was Mr.. Hit, who, by a wonderful
fpeech in the house, defeated a resolu-
Jon for the threatening demand upon
/ Mexico, thus averting w-at world have
proved a disgraceful war. He made his
mark in the committee and on the floor
Of the house whenever foreign affairs
were under discussion, yet in addition
to that found time to participate in de-
bate over matters of current interest,
being particularly industrious in looking
aftel tAs demands of his own district

WAR MAY BE A LONG ONE.
indications Point to Lengthy Conflict
Between Russia and Japan-Czar
Building Squadron.

Building Squadron.
No one is looking for an early close
of the war between Japan and Russia,
says a writer in Youths Companion.
1t may last two years, or some deci-
siye victory on land or sea may bring
it to an end sooner. Although there
has been considerable gossip 10 the
foreign dispatches about the possible
intervention of King Edward and
others on behalf or peace, few we'll
informed persons expect interven-
tion unless China should be drawn
into the conflict
Russia has been moving slowly,
feeling confident that the Japanese
advance on land can be delayed till
sufficient Russian troops have been
assembled in Manchuria to defeat the
invading army in a pitched battle.
What purport to be the Russian plans
have been disclosed in an interview
with a Moscow friend of Gen. Kuro-
patkin, published in Paris. The cor
respondent who obtained the inter
view declares that it contains the
views of the commanding general.
Whether this be correct or not, it
contains matter OF SuHClenJ interest
to receive attention.
Gen. Kuropatkin's friend is made
to say that the general does not eX-
pect the Russian naval power in the
east to be effective till September or
October. The squadron that is gett-
ing ready at Cronstadt in the Baltic
cannot be got to sea till the latter part
of August. At that time it will start
for the Yellow sea, conveying coal
ships, and will be joined by the squad
ron cruising in the Red sea. When
the combined squadrons reach the
east they will relieve the blockade Of
Port Arthur and attempt to destroy
the Japanese warships as well as the
transports, which by that time Gen.
Kuropatkin is said to believe will be
carrying the defeated Japanese sol
diers from Korea and Manchuria back
to Japan. When the Japanese have
been driven from the mainland and
from the set the Russians will invade
Japan.
It's at Toxic and nowhere else"
Gen. Kuropatliin is made to say, that
we shall sign conditions of peace"
Japan's hope of victory lies in its
ability to force matters to a decisive
issue before Russia can get its army
and navy across or around two con-
tinents into the field of action.

James N. Tyner and Harrison j.
Barrett, ex-PostaI Officials.
Washington. May 2G.-Within %
minutes OF the retirement of the jury
in the case of James N. Tyner and
Harrison J. Barrett, tried on charges
of conspiracy in connection with their
duties as law officers for the post
Office department, a verdict of not
guilty was returned. The throng
which filled the court room through
out the arguments to the jury hardly
had time to leave the building before
the jury was back.
Gen. Tyner appeared greatly ex-
cited as he attempted to face the jury,
and when the verdict was rendered he
broke down completely. Several of
the jurors wept with him and all of
them shook hands with him.
The Tyner- Barrett case was begun
on May and has been before the
court 10 full days. A great mass of
testimony was offered.

Through the nerves. of improper

About year ago I was afflicted
with nervous spells, would worry SO
over trivial things.
Il went to consult one of the best
physicians in Memphis and he asked
among many questions if l drank cof-
fee.
His advice was: Go to some pro-
vision store and get box of Postum,
drink it in place of coffee and as you
are confined to your desk to a great
extent try and get out in the open air
as much as possible l followed his
instructions regarding the Postum.
AT that time my weight was 142
and l was taking all kinds of drugs
and medicines to brace me up, but all
failed; to-day I weigh 165 and all of
my old troubles are gone, and all the
credit is due to having followed this
wise physicians advice and cut off the
coffee and using Postum in it's place.
Il now consider my health perfect.

public and testify that it was all due
to my having used Postum in place

a statement was published from Lee
land Williamson, M. D., Of this place,
to the effect that Dodd's Kidney Pills
are the best medicine for all Kidney
Diseases and that he uses them with
uniform success in his daily practice.
No one who knows DR.. Williamson
will doubt for moment the complete
truth of his fearless declaration, but
to completely clinch the matter in the
minds of those who may not have the
pleasure of personal acquaintance
with this celebrated physician, DR..
Williamson has appeared before Mr..
H. E. Greene, J. P. for Montgomery
County, and made a sworn statement.
In this sworn statement the doctor

Pferrot Frit[s.

A pretty novelty in collars and cuffs
is the fiat frill of white plisse lawn,
turned back from wrists and throat.
Parisians first fancied it, for its cool
ness and daintiness and quaintness.
The frills are some four or five
inches in depth, and worn over a plain
blouse bodice. One in coarse lavender
linen has the bodice, fitting closely,
but pouching slightly in front under
a double boX-plait, down which a
scarf of embroidered white muslin
was interthreaded through large white
crockett rings, the plisse Pierrot frills
round neck and wrists being en-
broidered also. The skirt was plain,
but showed fan-shaped plaitings of
white muslin inserted at the seams
below the knees, to give spring to the
skirt. And the hat to be worn was
of white embroidered muslin, over a
picturesque wire shape, with large
cluster of blue and mauve shaded
forget-me-nots at the back.

SPENCER AN ExcITABLE MAN.
Rarely in the Mood TO Discuss Meta
physical Questions.

Sir Leslie Stephen, the longtime
friend of Herbert Spencer, the re
Gently deceased philosopher, tells this
TO illustrate Mr. Spencer's excitable
temperament: "He would not join
the Metaphysical club Sir Leslie
said, because he and his temper would
not stand it. l remember seeing him
at dinner brandishing his knife and
fork in the face of a lady with whom
he had entered into an argument. He
was quite unconscious of the act;
his zeal had run away with him" Sir
Leslie tells another story OF Mr.. Spen-
GER: "a lady who was kindly dis
posed toward the philosophers con-
Quoted a party including Mr.. Spencer
and Sir Leslie over Hampton court.
When the maze was reached Herbert
Spencer undertook to be the first one
at the center THE rest Of u.s. said
Mr.. Leslie with smile. decided that
whatever route Herbert Spencer
should take we should take another.
The result justified our selection; the
! philosopher reached the center last.
Mr. Spencer was chaffed but quite
abasbed he replied: at proves my
theory. If I had taken the other way
/ should have been first"

Unique Button Box.

An arrangement for holding but
tons is made by pasting together six
pasteboard boxes, such as are used
by druggists in preparing prescrip-
lions for powders. They slide out like
little drawers, and a button is sewed
to the outside to indicate the con-
tents. white pearl, bone, fancy or
shoe button is placed on the drawer
designed for holding those particular
buttons, while a hook and eye, and a
safety pin sewed to another, will read
lily explain the contents. A yard and
a quarter of satin ribbon two inches
wide is tied about the whole, with a
bow at the top, forming a neat little
case. which for many reasons is pre-
ferred TO the button bags.
