A MINERS TROUBLE
ACHES A CLIMAX AFTER YEARS, OF SLOW DEVELOP
A Settlement Happily Effected in the Case of Henfy Story Tn Time
 to Avert a Serious Misfortune.

If all the troubles of the coal miners could be adjusted as satisfactorily as that which for many months disturbed the hapiness of Mir Henry Story, of 532 Musk. ingum Avenue, Zanesville, Ohio, it would be most welcome relief for both the men and their families.
 The miners form a large and important part of our population, and they will be greatly interested in the solution which Mir. Story, found for a difficulty in which any one of them may find himself at any moment, as 1t is a frequent incident ill the mlner's occupation and a serious hin drance to his success.
 The facts in the case were related by Mrs. Story who was deeply concerned, and who is very happy woman today because her husband has had such a for tunate escape from the, calamity that threatened him.
 My husband.'' says Mrs. Story, lis a very hard-working man and has always been very healthy, but some months ago rheumatism got hold of him, and made him suffer terribly, and would soon havs used him up if 1t had not been for Dr. Williams Pink Pills for Pale People, which, we think, are the best medicine in the world.
 He suffered so much in his legs that he could hardly stand; his back hurt and he had such pain in his left arm that he could not rest night or day. His arm would turn numb and I would have, to rub and bathe 1t in hot water. I tried everything I could think of to give him relief.
 At last he went to a doctor, who told him that his trouble had come from hard swork. The doctor gave him some medi- cine, but 1t did not do any good.
 'In the meantime I picked up a paper and read about Dr. Williams Pink Pills for Pale People and thought my husband s trouble might be with his nerves. I got two boxes of the pills for him and had to urge him to take them. because he had always been so healthy that he was not in the habit of taking medicine.
 After he had taken the first box he felt much better, and when he had fin ished the second box he was better still. So l bought six boxes the next time and he took four of them. that is six boxes in all. That is three months ago and he has never had an ache or pain since and can do a hard days work with any young man. We praise Dr. Williams Pink Pills to all our friends"
 These famous pills cure all diseases of the blood such as rheumatism, and oi the nerves, such as neuralgia and partial paralysis. They effect, radical cures in obstinate maladies because they go to the root of the trouble. expelHng all poisons from the blood, and supplying nutritive elements that repair wasted tissues and give fresh vitality to weakened nerves A special booklet on Nervous Disorders or on Diseases of the Blood, may be ob- tained by simply writing to Dr. Williams Medicine Co.,, Schenectady, N.

 Pensacola, Fla, April l5.-The l2-iach gun crew of the battleship Texas now holds the worlds record for fast and accurate work. snatching the laurels from the battleships Wisconsin and Ala bama between which ships there was dispute as to the championship.
 The Texas concluded her practice in the gulf today and came Into the har- bot when 1t was made known that she had an average of about S9 per cent. of hits. which is about per cent better than that of the Wisconsin, which vessel has been heralded as possessing the prize gun crews of the navy. This record is also better than made by the Alabama, which was thought to be the world s record and far ahead of the flagship Kearsarge.
 With her 12-inch pieces the Texas made in one string of shots eleven hits in ten minutes, more than a hit per minute. This was wSh the forward Pinch gun and with the after 12-inch gun ten hits were made ouA of Il shots in 10 min utes. With her 0ax-inch pieces the Texas also carried off the honors from all that can be learned and her general average is said to be higher than was ever be- fore made by a naval vessel

REMAINS RE-INTERRED.
Body of Unknown Confederate Du
 Un at Cfirard


 Up at Girard.
 Girard, April l5.-(Special.) 1.-The re. mains of a Confederate soldier have just been disinterred in Girard cemetery and reinterred in more suitable location and in digging into the grave several sol diers' relics, which had been there thirty one years, were discovered.
 There were several brass buttons, with eagles on them. the kind used during the war. No one seems to know the name of the soldier, but it Is said that about year after the war a strange woman came to Girard and wrote name on the headboard of the grave. The headboard has since disappeared and the name $ now forgotten. This soldier was the first victim of the fight that occurred here. Just before he was shot by the enemy he told an officer who met him in the road and who was with him when he was shot that he belonged to Forests brigade but no other particulars regarding him were learned.
 The grave will receive the best of at- tention from the people of Girard.

Chicago. Jan. Mayor Harrison
today to provide as far as possible
against repetition of Wednesday,
horror As result of the investiga-
tion made at his orders, nineteen
theatres and museums were ordered
closed, some being among the leading
and most popular play houses of the
city. The action of the mayor was
based on the fact that the owners
had violated the ordinances which
provide that theatres shall have as
bestos curtains, as means of pro-
tecting the audience from fire on the
stage. The theatres ordered closed
are Howards, Sam. T. Jacks, Mar
lowe, New American, Olympic, Acad-
emy. Bijou, Chicago Opera House,
Columbus, Thirty-first Street, Criter-
ion, Fiegenbaums, Milwaukee Avenue,
Garrick, Glickman's. London Globe,
Clark Street Museum, Alhambra, and
the Auditorium.
The Chicago Opera House and the
Olympic theatres are high-classed
houses. and are generally crowded,
even at the matinees which are given
daily.
The Garrick Theatre ordered closed
is small play house on the northwest
side of the city and should not be
confounded with the larger theatre of
the same name situated near the Iro-
quois. The scope of the investiga-
tion included no other feature than
asbestos curtains The mayor declar.
ed IT was his intention that no the
atre should be allowed to open its
doors in Chicago unless provided with
asbestos curtains of standard quality
that would work at all times and un.
der all conditions.
The mayor said tonight il might not
be possible to prevent logs Of life
when audiences run for doorways, but
he proposed TO see that such precau-
tions were taken as will prevent any
cause for panic among the people.
The mayor declared there would have
been no panic in the Iroquois II the
apparatus there had been in proper
working condition
The total seating capacity Of the
theatres closed is 1870. which in.

senator said Mr.. Cleveland had done
incalculable harm. both to the coun-
try and to the Democratic party by
his satirieal uncompromising views.
Whatever might be the dement's of
the protective theory in the abstract.
there could be no question that the
protective system was now thorough
ly interviewer with all our industrial
conditions. Free trade was a myth.
The tariff would always exist and
whatever might be its rates. it would
serve as protection to domestic in
dustries as against foreign importa-
tion. The question was one of per,
centage, not of principle. The Dem
ocratic party, If in full power. could
not avoid framing a tariff act, which
would afford fair protection to both
American labor and American capital,
for the imposition of any tax upon
foreign importations restrain, to that
extent, foregn competition; and Amer.
ican labor could not receive fair
wages unless American capital could
be made profitable. The war which
we must wage must be against a
swollen and exaggerated protection,
which yields to capital vastly more
advantages than it does to labor, and
which enables it to monopollze the
American market at prices largely in
excess of the amount necessary to pay
fair wages to labor and fair interest
to capital. Democracy must insist up
on taking down at first the top bricks
of the tariff wall, as Senator Bacon.

ancient grooves of devotion to popular
rights.
Outside of Mr. Bryan II would be
difficult to select a man who would
be platform in himself OF the old
er Democrats all had been identified
with the differences of the last two
campaigns, and of late In the North
ern states. the Democratic party had
no such opportunity in state admins
trstion as would bring Northern
leader into prominence. The Demo
cratic candidate must. therefore. be
either a new and untried man, or one
prominently identified with past diff
fercnces. The Democratic candidate
must therefore. be either new and
untried man, or one prominently iden.
titled with past differences. II was
therefore all the more important that
the Democratic party should rely upon
a careful framing of the issues of the
campaign and thorough organization
of the party.
| As to the issues. Mr. Newlands said
| that the last campaign demonstrated
that the masses of the people attach
ed little importance TO the question
of imperialism 1t was clear that the
intense commercialism of the past de
cade had hlunted the sensibilities and
conscience of the American people
! The colonial system was now estab'
lished and would have to stand It's
trial, and whilst the democracy would
not fail to reassert the time-honored
doctrine of the Declaration of lnde
pendence and its applicability @
other people as well as our own. the
issue would have little practical effect
in the coming campaign. ~f@ssl
