win Be Here Tomorrow Morning.
With Proofs of Wonderful Discover,
That is Astounding Thousands.

Those who know, no longer doubt.
Positive proof will convince the in
credulous and 1t is hoped that af-
fllcted people of Paducah Will meet
the great Root Juice instructor or his
assistant at Alvey & Lists drug store
tomorrow morning, and they VIII re-
ceive the same good the people did In
Indiana cities and other points. II
the rumors that are circulating are
true many of Paducah's citizens will
have cause to thank the committee
that urged the Root Juice people to
come to this city. If Root Juice makes
half the great cures here as reported
elsewhere, it will be great blessing
to this community. Many wild re-
ports of wonderful cures Root Juice
has mado are circulated. A travel
ing man said: while in Marion,
Ind. had occasion to go to Bradley's
drug store and while there a man
came in and purchased six bottles of
Root Juice. While it was being wrap
ped up the man said: Every sick
person in the neighborhood had used
Root Juice and il seemed 1t had cured
them all He was the last one in the
neighborhood to be convinced. At
ter the man left. the druggist remark
ed Root Juice is the greatest meji-
cine on earth. People come in here
and get a few bottles, and In a few
weeks they stop buying it. and when
/ meet them they say they are cured
When asked what It cured he said: 1T
seems TO cure any trouble of the stom-
ach, liver. kidneys or blood. 1t is a
wonderful thing for Indigestion, but
1t seems equally as good for rheuma-
tism, catarrh, constipation and urln-
airy troubles, The afflicted can

The Great Eastern,

Editor National Tribune: Will you
please answer the following questions?
l. When was the ship Great Eastern
built. and BY whom7
Q. Length. breadth of beams, draft,
number Of masts, speed and tonnage.
8. In what year did she come to New
York;
4. What became Of her and what was
her cost?-John ]. Card, Natick. Pa.
The Great Eastern was begun in 1854
and completed in 1889 by J. Scott Rus
sell, builder on the Thames. England.
She was $50 feet long, SO feet wide, So
feet deep. % feet draft and of $4,000
measurement. She had four paddle and
four screw engines, designed II devel-
op O.OOO-horsepower. We do not find
any statement as to the number of
masts. She was calculated for a speed
of 16h knots and made her first At
lantic voyage in 1860. starting June II
from Southampton and reaching New
York In IL days. She had a miserable
career, as she was constantly breaking
down, was converted into a troop ship
and then employed in laying the At
1antic cable. She was subsequently made
a passenger ship again, to take people
to the Paris Exposition, but the enter
prise was sad failure. Then she was
put into service in laying cables. in 1884
became a coal hulk, and in 1887 was
sold to be broken up.-Editor National

THAT Noisy HOwitzer.,

William Kirk. Parkersburg, W. Va,
wants it understood that that noisy
howitzer'' at Saratoga was not under
the charge of Chicago gunners, but 1t
was the famous Custer cannon, and be-
longed to the Department of West vir-
ginia. 1t was hauled and fired by West
Virginians thruout, as 1t has been at
every Encampment for the last Is
years. 1t was in charge of Joseph
Trax, of New Castle, Pa, who was on
the staff of Gen. Custer an an Orderly
and scout, and collected the metal from
which the gun was cast. This was
mainly brass from artillery harnesses,
rebel spurs, pieces of captured cannon,
etc. Every ounce had history. West
Virginia had the smallest turnout in
it's history at the National Encamp-
ment, there being at times barely
enough to haul and work the gun. As
they were crowded close by Chicago
and Michigan. the mistake was easy to
make. but the account is right in say
ing that the gun created great enthu-
siasm with its constant fire while the
rain poured down in torrents. 1t re-
minded everybody of fighting under
similar conditions during the war.

Is the improvement in the availability
and value of real estate and structures

gives higher efficiency and lower fixed
charges. The current is carried by Two
steel cables of especially high strength,

bridges are placed at a fixed distance Of
800 feet apart. The contingencies of
unusually heavy weather have been pro-

has been developed. The average train
load on the n. Y, N. H. & H. r. R. is
210 tons. and the specifications hive
been that each locomotive should be
able to haul a200-ton train at a speed
OF 65 or 10 miles per hour. The electric
engines are built on similar plans with
still greater power. The body is car
ried on two fOur-wheeled trucks, each
wheel of which is driver. They have
a total length of 26 feet four inches

drivers is SO tons, and the motors are

What Constitutes n Veteran:

Editor National Tribune: I notice
that some of the comrades are still in
confusion regar ding the meaning of the
term veteran" just as they used to be
in the army. The Standard Dictionary
defines veteran as "one long trained or
exercised in any service; one grown old
in service, as in military service" We
often hear the term applied in other
caliings, as veteran engineer, nurse,
ment did not make one a veteran; 1t
made him a veteran volunteer. Take
two soldiers whose service was equal,
one Of whom re-enlisted and the other
did not. The latter was just as much
a veteran as the other up to that time.
The confusion arises from the custom
which sprang up in the SOS of apply
ing the word veteran to a re-enlisted
man for short, the word volunteer" be-
ing understood.-E. ]. Orr, 9Th Wis.
Battery, Nodaway. Iowa.
Our correspondent does not tell the
whole story. The order from the War
Department in 1853 allowed those who
re-enlisted before their term of service
was out to style themselves veteran VOL
unteers, putting the name on their flags
and on their muster rolls. Subsequent
ly the War Department construed that
any man who had served not less than
nine months should be considered a
veteran. Since the war there has been
some contention here in Washington
between comrades with the various De-
partments as to the meaning of vet
eran' in the Soldiers Preference law.
There has been an understanding ar
rived at that any man shall be consid-
cred a veteran wh0 has served out his
term of eniistment.-Editor National
Tribune.

Editor National Tribune: Please give
a short sketch of the 7th Pa. Cav.
j. Barnhart. Dunbar, Pa.
The 7th Pa. Cav, also called the S0th
Vols, was one of Fox's 900 fighting
regiments" and was organized at Harris
burg from September. 1861 being final
ly mustered out Aug. 20, 1865. 1t had
three Colonels. The first. George C.
Wynkoop, was discharged June 25.
1868; its second. William b. Sipes, re-
signed Nov. 80. 1864. Its last Colonel
was Charles C. Mccormick, brevetted
Brigadier-G General March 13. 1865, who
was in command when the regiment was
mustered out. The 7th distinguished
itself by a gallant charge thru the
streets of Shelbyville. Tenn, June %.
1863. This charge was made by three
companies under Capt. Davis, who
rushed thru the main street up to the
public square, in which there was a
battery. The men fought for awhile
over the cannOns. and then, aided by
other troops, drove the garrison out
into the country and into the Duck Riv-
er. The regiment accompanied Sher-
mans army on the Atlanta campaign,
and took part also in Wilson'S eXpedi-
ton to the Gulf, participating in the
daring and successful assault on the
enemy's intrenchments at Selma, Ala.

THE MIAMI-KEY WEST RAILWAY.

most southernmost point of the Florida
coast, Key West, is connected with the
mainland with AZ coral keys, separated
from one another by strips of salt wa
ter, varying in width from few hun
dred to Is, 100 feet and from one to 80
feet deep. All of these had to be con-
nected to make the roadbed. In the
shorter spaces huge dredges threw up
embankments from key to key, which
were rip-rapped with rock to hold them
firmly. Over other intervals there has
been built six miles of concrete via
ducts. One of these begins at the west
erly end of Long Key, and will have a
total length of 10,500 feet, or almost
exactly two miles. 1t will consist of
1874 arches of so feet center, and the
top Of the viaducts will be 81 feet above
high water, in order TO protect the
trains from the highest waves. The de-
tails of this work are simply astound-
ing, since it required 2s6,000 barrels of
cement, with $4,000 feet of piling,
500 tons Of reinforcing rods and g.
800, coo feet of dressed lumber. Upon
the work have been engaged $500 men.

six inches. and the cion cut accordingly.
This cutting, however, is usually done
before the joining of the two
pieces. In general, the shorter the root,
the longer the cion, and vice versa. The
practices of the more rigorous climates
tend to short-piece roots and long cions.
The resulting trees, being set deeply,
soon send out roots from the cion, and
become "own-roOted." in which case
they are believed to be superior to
trees that obtain their nourishment
solely thru the foster roots of stock.
No experiments have been conducted to
settle this matter, but common expert
ence is more in favor of the short root
deeply set than the reverse. At plant
ing time root CRAFTS thus made should
be covered, only the topmost bud of the
cion being left above the soil.
Cleft grating Is adapted to large trees
where the variety IS to be changed.
Branches too large to be worked by
other methods may be cleft grated, but
the larger the branch the less satisfac-
tory the result. A branch one or one
and q half inches in diameter is severed
with sharp saw. The stump is then
split with thin chisel and held open
until the cion, which is made wedge
shaped, is inserted and adjusted, rs
shown in, Fig. 6. 1t should have two
or three buds Then all the exposed
surfaces should be covered with graft
ing wax or grating clay. The wax may
be applied hot. but the safest plan is
to work IL in with the hand, having 1t
about the consistency Of nolasses candy.
F'ruit-tree cions are cut at any time
after the fall of the leaf before the buds
begin to swell, and kept In damp sand
or sawdust to prevent drying.-Editor

The comrade, like many others, has
COMPOUNDED two very distinct organiza-
tions, the Veteran Reserves. made up of
invalids unfit for field service, and the
Hancock Veteran Reserve Corps. In
November, 1864. the War Department
issued orders for the formation of a
new corps to be composed of men who
had served creditably a full term in
their regiments. This corps was to be
designated the First, with Gen. Han
cock in command. The war closed be-
fore corps organization was effected.
There were at that time nine regiments
organized, with a total strength of TO-
