Half the nervousness. half the irri- liability that is so common in every day life. is really sickness, and in most cases a condition that accom- panies kidney trouble.
 It is the work of the kidneys to keep the blood free from uric acid and other poisons. but when the kid neys are sick, and not doing their duty, the uric acid poisons permeates the body, and attacks body, brain and nerves. The irritation causes ner- vousness. irritability, headache. dizzy spells; makes you languid. unfit for work, and inclined to worry over trifes. Besides. there is nothing more annoying than bad back, and backache is the most common sign of kidney trouble. You feel lame and tired in the morning. suffer day and night with a dull aching in the back. and it hurts to stoop or bend or lift.
 Keep your temper cool. and get the N;dneys we'll No person can feel cheerful and healthy If the kidneys are the least bit affected. A few doses of Doan's Kidney Pills. taken in the beginning, will set the kidneys light

 The cardinal was escorted to the archbishop's throne and there vested for mass. At the end of the gospel Cardinal Gibbons, the American cardi- nal, in long flowing red Kobes, walked slowly into the sanctuary. bowed first to the representative of the pope. Mgr. Falconio then to the Irish cardinal. A moment later Cardinal Gibbons mounted tie pulpit and delivered q masterly and comprehensive discourse, in which he reviewed the history of the Catholic church in New York and paid beautiful tribute to the Irish immigrants.
 Archbishop Farley after the sermon read message of congratulation from Pope Plus K, in which the head of the Catholic church throughout the world expressed his hope that the good work would continue and closed by saying that he sent his blessing to the arch bishop of New York and all his people.

DEMOCRATIC CONVENTION.
Opening of Two Day Session In Con
 necticut to Select Delegates.


 New Haven. Conn. April 20. Hard ly ripple disturbed the proceedings of the Democratic state convention in the New Haven theater. which met to select delegates to the Denver conven- tion. Everything that was done was of temporary nature, for under the rules the delegates to a state conven- tion are themselves delegates to the county and congressional district eau cuses which make the selections and then recommend them to the conven- tion for confirmation after the organi- Zation is perfected. It is not expected that the convention will overturn the selections of those caucuses. Each Of the eight counties selected delegate, and each of the four congressional dis tricts selected one. leaving two dele. gates at large to be named hy the con vention, making the Connecticut dele gation fourteen members.
 The delegation is not expected to be instructed It's preference as a whole, judged by the individual preferences of the men. is said to be against Mir. Bryan. although several of the men on it are known to have been Bryan men eight years ago. John ]. Walsh of Nor walk, former chairman of the state central committee, will go into the convention with indorselnent for del egate at large. leaving the other va cancy to be filled possibly by Alexan- der Troup of New Haven. close friend of MT. Bryan. or Mayor Thayer of Norwich, whose name also has been mentioned It is not unlikely that oth- CT names may come before the conven- tion.
 Chairman Charles w. Comstock of Montville served as temporary chair man and delivered the address, to the delegates. Mir. Comstock said in part:
 We shall call upon every patriot to join with us during the next cam paign. The people have at last seen and realized the truth of the princi. ples of the Democratic party They can no longer be deceived by the cry of full dinner pail when they only find an empty dinner pail The pres. ent hard times are caused by Repub- lican misrule.
 "I hazard the prediction that when the next Republican national conven' tion assemblies the platform will con. tain declaration in favor of "a tariff for revenue only. and in 1912, now mark this prediction and remember that l now publicly state. in my judg. ment. the Republican platform will contain a plank favoring the initiative and referendum. another plank calling for the public ownership of railroads, and, lastly. they will demand the free and unlimited coinage of silver at q ratio of Is to r. .
 Immediately after the address the convention resolved itself in caucuses for the thirty-fve senatorial districts to select temporary organization. in cluding committee on resolutions which was later made permanent ai the reopening of the convention.
 It is predicted that the convention will be an unusually quiet one.

 Her voice was almost tremulous in its eager, confident appeal, but Bennett forced himself to answer:

 '' parting feet on the stairs. The young man sat. lost, hopeless. horror gripped. his eyes run ming mechanically over the closely typewriter pages of the engineers re- port. Outsider as he was in matters of practical business, Alwyn could see that Horrigan had in no way exag- gerated the documents contents. He knew, too, that the firm of engineers who had drawn up the report were the foremost of their sort and above all shadow of suspicion.
 Little by little the numbness lifted from his brain and in it's place crept a horrible conviction of the truth. His father-the gallant young soldier who had won nations applause in the civil war-the mNn who. poor and un- aided. had built up a fortune against keenest competition and had earned a repute for sterling probity which had ever been the delight and model of his son-this was the man whom a low blackguard like Horrigan now had the right to revile-a man apparently no better than the boss himself-than any dishonest heeler in the organization.
 And, as if it were not enough that the idol of a lifetime were hurled, crushed and defiled. from its bright pedestal, the family name must next be dragged through the mire of polt- icaf filth and ill repute and the dead mans memory forever blasted. Either that or his son nLGs. withdraw from the gallant fight lie was waging against civic corruption. for that Horrigan would carry out his threat and blazon forth 10 the world the story and proofs of the elder Brnnett's shame Alwyn had no doubt With all his faults the boss was a man of his word.
