Farming in the White House.

Mrs. Jackson died just before the
generals first administration. and dur
ing the eight years hat he was at the
White House he practically managed
the plantation himself from Washing
ton, says Oliver Bronson Capen in
Country Life in America. AS a farm
err Andrew Jackson was more success
iul than George Washington, and as a
breeder Of horses he was ore sue
cessful than Henry Clay. And yet, so
great were his achievements in pur-
suits as far removed from the pastoral
rs the poles, that popular tradition
does not reckon with one of the most
important sides of his character.
Lawyer, politician, judge, statesman.
soldier!-closer to his heart than all
these were a country home and a
farm.

No Veto Power in England.

The king has really no power-as is
commonly supposed-to veto a bill
which was passed through 10th
houses of parliament. He a only
exercise this privilege on the advice
of his ministers. in which case it is
not a merely personal act. AS a mat
ter of fact, the royal assent to a bill
is given as a matter of course, and
has never been refused since Queen
Anne put her royal foot down on a
Scotch militia bill nearly two cen
turtles ago. So really powerless is the
sovereign in this matter that the au-
thor of "The English Constitution"
writing of Queen Victoria, said: "She
must sign her own death warrant il
the two houses unanimously send 1t
up to her."-Philadelphia Ledger.

Saratoga, June 27.-The very name,

Mecca for all who admire nature,
enjoy good living, and are searching

it, and have connected upwards Of six
thousand acetylene burners in and
about the house and grounds to this
little gas plant.
lake many discoveries OF recent
years, which are coming into popular
favor, acetylene, II of the most re-

OF Wide Interest.

Breed, Wis, June 26.--Special-
Chas. Y. Peterson, Justice Of the Peace
for Oconto Co.. has delivered a judy
ment that is of interest to the whole
United States. Put briefly, that judg-
ment is, "Dodd's Kidney Pills are the
best Kidney medicine on the market
to-day"
And Mr.. Peterson gives his reason
for this judgment. He says: Last
winter ! had an aching pain in my
back which troubled me very much.
In the morning | could hardly straight
en- my back. did not know what 1t
was but an advertisement led me to
try Dodd's Kidney Pills. After taking
one box l can only say they have done
more for me than expected as | feel as
we'll now as ever | did before"
Pain in the back is n of the first
symptoms of Kidney disease. II not
cured by Dodd's Kidney Pills 1t may
develop into Brlght's Disease, Dia-
betes, Rheumatism or some OF the
other deadly forms of Kidney Disease.

eral sessions will be suspended this

able il District Attorney Jerome be-
gins prosecution in connection with
the affairs of the Equitable Life AS
surance society. This action was TAX
en- upon the request of District Attor-
ney jerome.
District Attorney Jerome, in maxi
ing public his intention to suspend
the courts vacation, said he had a
letter from Governor Higgins, Offering
to place the evidence obtained by Su-
perintendent of Insurance Henricks
at Mr.. Jerome's disposal. Mr.. Jerome
added:
at is my desire to have that evil
dence, and it is my intention to go
through it very thoroughly. | am not
in a position to know at this time
whether there has been a violation of
the law, but it is my duty to find out"
Attorney Julius Mayer was at his
office yesterday engaged in going over
the proceedings in the investigation
OF the Equitable society. When asked
how soon he would begin action
against the Equitable officers scored
in the Henricks report, Mr.. Mayer re-
piled:
"Action will be taken as soon as II
Is properly possible and it will not be
a matter of weeks, but Of days only,
before we will be ready"
He was of an OPINION that separate
actions would be taken, one for the
%restitutions Of funds wrongfully elic-
tied and another for the debarment
proceedings against officers of the so
ciety.
