SAVED THE LANDS.
How De Cosmus' Great speech Hap
pened to lie Delivered.

The longest speech on record is be
lieyed to have been that made by Mr.
de Cosmus in the legislature of British
Columbia when a measure was pend
Ing the passage OF which would have
taken from great Nany settlers their
lands. DE Cosmus was in a minority
The measure had been Leld back til
the eve OF the close of the season OF
session. Unless action was taken be
fore noon of a given day the act would
fail. De Cosmus got the floor at &c
q. IN. and began a speech against the
bill. Its friends supposed he would be
done by ] O'Clock. AT = O'Clock he was
saying, 'In the second place" At 3
he produced fearful bundle of evi.
dence and insisted on reading it.
Then the truth dawned. He was go
ing to speak till noon the next day and
kill the bin. Then they made merry

but that gave him time and breathing
space. They finally settled down &c
watch the combat between the strength
OF will and weakness OF body. They
gave no mercy. no time for dinner OF
wetting lips with water and no sitting
down. Members went to dine and
sleep In squads. but De Cosmus went
on. Day dawned
The speaker was alternately doing
and trying TO look wide awake AZ
last noon came. and "A single man was
triumphant. Although his voice had
sunk TO husky whisper, his eyes were
bleared and bloodshot, his legs tottered
under him. his baked lips were cracked

1t is only In comparatively modern
times that buttons have been utilized
as fasteners. The Greeks and Romans
knew nothing of them. and though they
presented themselves as ornaments in
the fourteenth century buttonholes
were still an undreamed Of possibility.

DEAD FROM STAB WITH HAT PIN
Thomas Doucherty Dies Of Wound Il
fiicsed By Unknown Woman.


Scranton, Pa. Nov. T.. - Thomas
Dougherty, prominent young man OF
Dunmore, adjoining this city, died in
the state hospital here as the result Of
being stabbed 10y an unknown woman.
His death is oEe of the most complf-
Gated mysteries in the history Of the
county. DougheTty died, refusing to
make any Statement as to the person
who caused the fatal injury, but init.
mated that 1t was a woman, and that
he was to blame.
Judging from the few words spoken
by Dougherty and his great reticence
it Is surmised that his wounds were
inflicted by some woman in defending
herself from his attacks, and that
pougherty. realizing that he was en-
tirely to blame. refused to divulge the
name of the girl.
Coroner Stein ordered the arrest Of
Mary Burke. a young Dunmore woman
on whom Dougherty called Saturday
night. Her friends say that he was ac-
cidentally jabbed by needle in her
dress. She herself has not yet been
located. The coroner declares that 1t
was a hat pin which penetrated
Dougherty's heart. and that it passed
through the fifth rib. indicating that 1t
had been jabbed with great force.

Mrs. III. Wi0hf

Mrs Pinkham claims that there rs q
kind of dyspepsia that is caused by II
arrangement of the female organism.
and which. while it causes a disturb
ance similar to ordinary indigestion.
cannot be relieved without a medicine
which not only acts as q stomach tonic.
but has n peculiar tonic effect on the fe
male organism.
AS proof of this theory we call at
tention to the case of Mrs. Maggie
Wright, Brooklyn, N. ", who was
completely cured by Lydia K. Pink
hams Vegetable Compound afterevery-
thing else had failed. She writes:
"For two years suffered with dyspepsia
which so degeneiated the entire system that
was unable to attend to my daily duties. /
felt weak and nervous, and nothing that ate
tasted good and it caused disturbance in my
stomach. l tried different dyspepsia cures,
but nothing seemed to help me. l was ad-
vised to give Lydia i. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound trial, and was happily surprised
to find that it acted like q fine tonic, and In .
few days began to enjoy and properly digest
my food. My recovery was rapid, ana In
five weeks ] was q well woman. have rec
commended it to many suffering women"
No other medicine in the world has
received such widespread and unquali-
fed endorsement or has such q record
of cures of female troubles, as has Lydia
e. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound.

The elections are over, and the
thought and energy OF the press and
the people, which for the last few
months have been given largely to
the discussion OF Candidates, can now
be turned to the discussion OF busi-
ness. Instead OF centering thought
upon the pros and cons OF a political
campaign, instead of giving atten..
tion either for or against the gospel
OF hate" which has been 80 vigorous
ly preached in denunciat!on OF every
tangible business interest and Of al
most every public man, we can now
think OF the matchless opportunities
in this country for every man and
boy who wants to work and to make
a success of life. We think of the re-.
sources OF this country, which in ex-
tent aud variety and in wealth-creat-
ing possibilities are not rivaled else
where on earth. We can think of the
stress and strain OF our railroads as
they seek to carry the business which
is now being offered far beyond their
facilities, and contrast it with receiv-
erships and bankruptcies OF days
when every ton Of freight was being
scrambled for. We can think of how
every manufacturing enterprise from
the far North to the far South and
from the Atlantic to the Pacific is
burdened with business and with
prosperity. We can think OF how
employers are everywhere hunting
for men and begging laborers to
| work, and contrast this with condi-
tions 10 years ago when probably a
million or more men were walking
the streets in idleness vainly search.

and Joy OF the present, and then we
can fix our thought upon the illim-
liable opportunities which are before
us. Only at the beginning, the very
threshold of it's gradual material up.

whole, aud the South pre-eminently
