By HON. GROVER CLEVELAND.

The wholesome sentiments which spring from
country life are being overwhelmed by the ambitions
and tendencies that flow out from our great cities,
Few have the hardihood to withstand the swirl and
rush Of city life, or to remain Indifferent to the prom
ises Of sudden wealth and the excitement of speculation
in a metropolis, where immense fortunes are made and
lost in a single day.
I believe that we must set ourselves against the
fallacy that a city life is the easier and the most pro-
ductive of happiness.

The Knockout Blow.

The blow which knocked out Corbett
was revelation to the prize fighters.
From the earliest days of the ring the
Knockout blow was aimed for the jaw,
the temple or the jugular ven. Stomach
punches were thrown in to worry and
weary the fighter, but II a scientific man
had told one of the old fighters that the
most vulnerable spot was the region of
the stomach, he'd have laughed at him
for an ignOramuS. DR.. Pierce is bringing
home to the public parallel fact; that
the stomach is the most vulnerable organ
out OF the prize ring as well as in it. We
protect our heads, threats, feet and lungs,
but the stomach we are utterly indiffer-
ent to, until disease finds the solar plexus
and knocks US out. Make your stomach
sound and strong by the use of Doctor
Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery, and
you protect yourself in your most vulner-
able spot. Golden Medical Discovery I"
cures weak stomach" indigestion, or
dyspepsia, torpid liver, bad, thin and inn
pure blood and other diseases of the or
gans of digestion and nutrition.
The rGolden Medical Discovery has a
specific curative effect upon all mucous
surfaces and hence cures catarrh, no
matter where located or what stage it
may have reached. In Nasal Catarrh it
is well to cleanse the passages with DR..
Sage's Catarrh Remedy fluid while using
the Discovery as a constitutional rem
edy. Why the "Golden Medical Discov-
cry" cures catarrhal diseases, as of the
stomach, bowels, bladder and other pelvic
organs will be plain to you If you win

ings of eminent medical authorities, en-
dorsing it's ingredients and explaining

HE KISSED HER HAIR.

The train passed over them and stop
ped. The motorman and conductor,
walking back on the trestle, found the
body of the woman almost unmarried.
A small fracture at the base of her
skull had killed her. The mans body
had been thrown into the creek. Eff
forts to find it were fruitless.
The woman was about twenty five
years old, handsome and well clad.
There was a wedding ring on the third
finger of her left hand.
She was fair and slight, weighing
only about 125 pounds, and wore red
plaid suit, a velvet hat with long
ostrich plume and a dark fur boa. A
gold chain, with gold watch suspend
ed from it, hung about her neck. The
watch bears the initials CIV Co." the
sole clew to the woman's identity.

THOUGHT He WAS CARUS0.
italian Who Embraced Ladies on Car
Ducked In Icy Creek.


The smooth crystal surface covering
the creek that parallels the tracks of
the Monongahela and Washington
branch Of the Pennsylvania railroad
was broken by passengers of the 8
O'Clock train few minutes after it left
Ellsworth, Pa, on a recent morning,
and Caruso from the sun kissed hills
of Italy, John Dravino, was hurled
into the icy water several times. He
was left shivering teeth chattering, on
the bank, while the passengers board
ed the traiM again and it went it's way.
Dravino got all dressed up at his
home in Ellsworth and boarded the
train to go to Monongahela and get
drunk. This was all very we'll, but
John spoiled the affair by getting
drunk before he left Ellsworth. He
entered the smoking car, and after he
had insulted several of the smokers
Conductor Moffett stopped the train
and put him off.
The train started again, but the Ital-
ian caught the last car and was again
on the train. He entered the car, in
which there were many women, and
amused himself for awhile by knock
ing off their hats. This was amusing,
but soon became tiresome, and John
then fell victim to the Caruso spirit
He embraced several women and then
picked out the prettiest girl in the car
and tried to kiss her.
Just at this time the conductor came
in. The women and other passengers
in the car appealed to him to come to
the aid of the offended women, and he
stopped the train. Many of the male
passengers who had been in the smok
ing car heard Of the trouble and went
to the car to see what could be done.
The creek near by attracted the atten-
ton of many at the same time, and it
was decided to give the friend of Ca
russo a ducking. 1t was coming to him,
and he got it.

Man and Woman, Embracing, Stand In
Front of Train to Die.
The headlight Of a West Jersey and
seashore trolley train, dancing ahead
as it's wheels sounded hollow on the
trestle over Newton creek at l o'clock
on a recent morning, suddenly showed
before the eyes of the motorman, John
Bruden, the figures Of a man and of a
woman. The couple were only a few
feet distant The motorman ground
frantically at the brakes. The figures
drew closer as the distance between
them and the train was Iessened. AS
the train bore down upon them he saw
them wrap their arms about one an
other The man kissed the woman's
hair.
Shouting a vain warning, drowned
by the noise of the train, Bruden saw
their faces so near that he could have
touched them. Then they disappeared.

those of FRITZ Scheff, whom she close
~ resembles also in manner.
The actress story of how she was
lured into the princes apartments I'M
der the guise of being summoned to a
reception is best told in her own words
Nothing would have ever been
heard of this dastardly attempt on my
life," said Fraulein Ziegler, had it not
been for the princes valet, who was
also responsible for my being shot.
You see, [ received the summons to at
tend the reception in the same manner
in which hundreds of persons in my
profession receive them. Thinking it
would be a good opportunity to meet
the best people, I went to the royal
palace. To my surprise [ found the
prince alone. When I wanted to leave
he insisted that I remain and take
dinner with him. Not wishing to Gre
ate q scandal by escaping, l consented.
Hardly had taken my place at the
table across from the prince when the
duchess appeared at the door and -four
ished a revolver. She Immediately
fred, and the shot entered my breast
I was secretly removed to a hospital,
and there for q month l lowered be-
tween life and death. The duchess
learned Of my presence in her hus-
bands room through his valet, whom
for some reason or other she had paid
to give her information of her hus-
bands doings
while l lay at the hospital l receiv-
ed many visits from imperial emissa-
ries, and every effort was made to hush
up the affair One day the deed and
title to a large apartment house, in
which I formerly resided, was sent me-
The gift was accompanied by an I'M
signed note, which read, For your Suf-
fering and your silence On the tax
books of the city of Prague the house
is valued at $5O,OOO The royal donors
had even paid the taxes several years
ahead.
"For some time before my visit to
the royal castle the prince had been a
nightly visitor to a theater where l
performed. The attention he paid me
is quite common in Europe from cava-
Tiers to footlight fayorites No one
there finds anything serious in these
firtations, and certainly had not the
slightest intention to disturb the do
nestle happiness of the granddaughter
Of the beloved emperor. I looked upon
the prince simply as an admirer Of art
who wished to pay me a compliment"
After her recovery the actress APP
peared in Prague, and at the perform
ance number Of officials tried to in
terrupt the performance. The affair
was a success, however, and before the
play had ended Fraulein Zeigler had
been showered with flowers. But the
echo of the scandal became unbearable,
and the American shores were secretly
sought until they subsidized The actress
will probably return again at the close

Live Chicken With Dead Man.

With very much alive chicken tied
ing desperate struggles to get away,
the dead body of James NJ. Thomas
was found lying in a secluded ravine
near a bridge over the Dan river near
DanVille, Va. A schoolboy made the
discovery from the bridge There
seems to be ground for the belief that
he was murdered, but there was moth
ing about the remains to show that he
had suffered violence. The presence
Of the chicken only deepened the mys-
terry.
