FORTUNES CRUEL FRANK.
Poorhouse Barred Against Its Founder,
 Once Rich, Now Poorr.

Poorhouse Barred Against Its Founder,
 Once Rich, Now Peorr.
 Chicago Record Herald s
 A pathetic story of the pranks that the hclzle jade Fortune plays in her most heartless moods came to it's cli- max yesterday when Charles J. L. Meyer, erstwhile a millionaire and prominent lumberman and railroad magnate of Wisconsin, sought admis- sion to the Milwaukee poorhouse.
 Stripped of wealth, of social station, of business standing. Meyer, a patrf- arch seventy-seven years of age, knock ed at the doors of the Associated Char ities. which was established. years and years ago, in part through his lavish contributions to charity, and
 He was told that by his removal to Chicago, two years since, he had for feited all right to enter the Milwaukee County poorhouse.
 Being offered money by Gustav Freil- son. the agent, the septuagenarian drew himself erect, saying that he had money enough to pay his board until Friday, and for his return to Chicago. where. for two years. he has lived in a small room at 93 Aberdeen street
 T merely was seeking my rights as a citizen reduced to penury," he saids "but I am not asking for personal aims"
 T will write letters 70 your TWO sons-in-law, who are mon of wealth, and will try to bring them to a sense of duty toward you" said Frelison. as his aged visitor with sweeping bow left the office.
 Verify a story of fortune in it's most prankish form-one of the sort that Balzac would have delighted to weave into his "Comedie Humaine"
 Years ago, when the numbering i'm dustry in wisconsin was at it's height, Meyer, who yesterday was reduced to the point where he sought place in the poorhouse, was owner of a bis sash. door, blind and wholesale lumber business in Fond du Lac. He was as- sociated in business with the late Sem ator Sawyer. of Oshkosh, and was counted ore of the big men of his state.
 He was a prominent figure in the councils of the Republican party and twice was delegate at large from Wisconsin to national conventions.
 Apart from his station as a big lum- herman, MT. Meyer was a pioneer in the building of railroads in the Bad ger State. He helped to finance q line connecting Fond du Lac with Miiwau- kee in the sos, and for years was president of what was known as the Northwestern Union Railroad.

believe that in a majority of the States of the Union the voters are opening their minds t, the mischfevous nature of this sort of political ieadershfp.
 In the Georgia case the business men of the State have come together strong ly in favor or 2 return to decepcy, or and the overturn which has taken place there Is largely their work. The busi- ness men Of other States may we'll take encoura cement from the defeat of Hoks Smith to unite for similar repression of political demagoguery everywhere. and we have no doubt they will do so.
 one inference from the Georgia eiec- ton is very plain. The Democrats of the country ought to nominate for the Presidency this year a plain, conserve tive American, citizen. who Is sound on all the great questions, not q notorious self-seeker and professional candidate for the Presidential office. With such a candidate. we might carry the coun- try in spite of all the efforts of Roose- welt. Bryan 6 Go. to produce . different

ANCIENT INDIAN ORDER.

Strange Religious Rites 0bserved by Remnant ef New England Tribe. MuskoGee Correspondent of Kansas City Times.
 Up in the northeast corner of the state there ia c small band of Seneca Indisns on reservation of the same name. This is remnant of a nation of Indians that can be traced from the original New England states, as they were forced West and south by the encroachments of the whites ana the battle arm of stronger Indian bands that were constantly warning against them.
 Among this little band of Indians. probably not moro than 100 all told. there are some courious heathen rites that seem to be instinctive with the tribe.
 Among them there Is an old order known as "The Wood Face" Those who belong to the order can call in the wood Faces'' in case of sickness as is often done. They so through . performance that is calculated to drive out from the sick person the evil spirit that may be lowering around the bed. These faces are masks made of wood. usually carved to represent human form of some character. but sometimes made to represent the head of an anil maj. They are painted red and black. with large silver eyes and . horse taii for hair.
 Arrayed in one of these hideous masks. together with ratties made or turtle shells fastened together at the outer edges with small stones inside and tied to the legs of the Wood Face, as they dance. roll and kick singing their incantations the while. the Indians present a scene calculated to drive away any evil spirit that might happen along and incidently drive the life out of the patient.
 It appears that this organization has been in the tribe for many generations. the modes of procedure differing some times, but following the same general character Its secret signs and sym. bois are guarded as closely as Masonry and it's fraternaI features are as bind ing. Its spiritual benefits are believed in implicitly.

Ir WAs Nor CRNpITApLE.

m a speech at Arlington Cemetery. cn Ehs Confederate Memorial day. oov- erm6r Glenn, of North Carolina, used this language;
 can truthfuly say. that long to zee the day when the name of Abra- ham Lincoln and Ulysses Grant shall be loved and respected in every nook and when the names of Lee and Jack son will be cheefed in Maine, Massa- chusetts and Calfforsia-
 under the circumstances that can only be regarded as an intentional slur on the name and memory of Jef- ferson DAvis. We have no criticism of the Governor for his complimentary reference to Lincoln and Grant, though we do not know that such reference was called for at that time and place. The people of the South, and the bet ter and fairsr element of the North. are willing to forget and forgive the bitterness and hard feelings caused by the great war. .tet the dead past bury its dead" is now the general feeling, so far as hatred and rancor are concerned, and all of us. both North and South, should join in the true fra- ternal union Of the living present.
 But we of the South are not called on to forget or neglect our own great and good men, and it is no credit to a southerner who does it. To exalt the name of the President of the Union and not mention the name of the Pres ident of the Confederaey--a greater and better man. by the way--is not creditable to any Southern orator on any occasion. The bitterness and rancor once felt by many even in the South. has passed forever, and the name and character of Jefferson Davis now appear in their true light. and he has come into his own in the hearts of the people as a statesman and a pa- triot who has had but few, if any. su- perIors in American history. We can look on Governor Glenn's lapse as noth- ing but an exhibition of toadyism for which he should take shame to him self. He did not represent the best people or the best sentiment of the South by his failure to mention the man who should not be forgotten or at any time underestimated by our people.

TWICE CURED IF

First Case a Rash Which Itched and Sung Threatened Ten Years Later With Blood Poison in Leg But Both Times the Sufferers
RELIANCE IN CUTICURA
 PROVED WELL-F0UNDED

"About twelve or fifteen years ago, while living in West Virginia l had a breaking-out, and 1t itched and stung % badly that I could not have any peace because of 1t. I saw three doctors and they did not agree on what 1t was, 70 one Of them gave me something that he called medicine, but called it soda water. I might just as well have washed in rain-water. Then I got some Cuticura Soap, Cuticura Ointment, and Cuticura Resolvent and began to get better right away. They cured me and I have not been bothered with the itch- ing since, to amount to anything. About two years ago I had ia grippe and pneumonia which left me with pain in my side. Treatment ran 1t into nay Isg, which then swelled and began to break out. It got in pretty bad shape, 60 went to doctor. He was afraid it would turn to blood-poison. I used his medicine but 1t did no good. So sent for another set of the Cuticura Remedies, I used them three times and cured the brealking-out on my leg. Now I won't be without Cuticura. J. F.

THE FAMILY DoCron.
Must Know Patients as well as an Isn.
 Gtneer Knows His Engine. Chicago News

Must Know Patients as well as an Ems
 Gtneer Knows His Engine.
 Chicago News.
 In his inaugural address before the American Medical Association the new president of that great organization Dr. Herbert L. Burreil, of Boston. call- ed attention to the revival of faith in the family doctor.
 5 There was a time. not many years ago, when the solemnity and preten- sions of any quack who chose to call himself a practitioner were accepted as full proofs of wisdom. With grow ing intelligence among the people and the raising of standards in the medi- cal profession, there was a weeding out of ernpirics on one side and a flight to high priced specialists on the other
 Now that the it survival of these two movements, by much faithful skillful, and sympathetic work, have brought to the general practitioner de- perved honor. 1t is doubtless true that the family physician is the most po- tent agency for the general spread of helpful knowledge to prevent bodily ills.
 There should be no mystery made of sickness. as Dr. Burrell wisely says "The trouble is," he declared, "that we all consider ourselves when i'll as peculiar examples of some disease. when, as a matter of fact, all We need Is the. counsel and advice of soma Bound-minded family practitioner, who has known us and our family for many years"
 It is, of course, the doctors duty to know his patients at least as thorogh- ly as locomotive engineer knows his engine. Having learned the physical, mental, and temperAmental weak spots of each. it Is his duty as a conscien- tious man of science to guard them from strain and to set the patient or the patients natural protector to guarding them also. The timely word rather than the bolus or drench should preserve the health of the family doc- tors charges.
 The doctor of today. with his en- thusiasm for good work. may be relied upon to point the way to health with out regard to his own pecuniary ad- vantage. Let us hope that before many more years he will be paid for his skill in keeping people well no less readily than he Is now paid for re- storing them to health after they have fallen sick.

Another full house greeted the Lilli-

Tonight and tomorrow night, THE

these wonderful little children the
genius that forms the halo of great

Possessed of wonderful magnetism

uncertain. When the Normals first
stated that Linsey's foot was the sole
cause for the postponennent of the
game, a few of the knowing ones
smiled. The Normals have been los
ing steadily and by pretty uneven
scores. SO it was thought by some that
the postponement might mean an ex-
cuse for more practise.
Everybody is now satisfied that such
is not the case. The Normals are all
good sportsmen, and such a scheme is
entirely foreign to their ideas of bas-
ketball.
