any serious symptoms. her malady
having developed into Bright's dis
ease, from which sne died.
The deceased was the daughter OF
Mr.. and Mrs. ]. d. Buie and it was at
their home that the end came. Her

three-base hit and hope ran high !;
but Darnell tried to steal second base,
got caught and thus ended the "rst
half with nothing. The Republicans
now went to the bat and Jared no b~t-
ter.
In the second inning the Republicans
scored four runs, and one in the third
while the Democrats still had nothing,
in fact. the same luck followed them
to the close of the fifth inning and
the Republicans scoring three times
in this inning, the game now stodc
s T. 0. The case looked hopeless e
the Democrats.
DR.. Riddle was now surrounded ..

Transmitting an article written by
Dr. Harold H. Mann, and published in
The Young Men of India" under
the title of "Is Drink Necessary for
Europeans in India?" Consul General
William H. Michael of Calcutta writes:
Europeans and Americans who
come to India do not need liquors to
keep WE'LL they will be better with
out stimulants of any kind. After
nearly two years residence here my
observations lead me to say that drink
ers of spirits, wines and malt liquors
are the most susceptible to disease,
especially fevers. either on the plains
or in the mountains, of any class Of
the inhabitants. Proper regard for
dress, to guard against sudden wealth
er changes, moderation in eating, es-
pecially meats; using only filtered and
boiled water, entire abstention from
alcoholic, vinous and malt liquors, and
plenty of sleep will almost invariably
insure. to the average healthy per-
son, good and uniform health, as far
as fevers are concerned, and by add
ing vaccination and inoculation, will
go a long way toward making that
person immune from contagious dis
eases"

He had expected violent outburst

approved of dueling.

two ladies as Sir Charles, saluting pro-
foundly, led them away.
A great weight was taken from Ell

the power of life and death over his

free her husband and restore him to

King George was not very brilliant

he had brilliant idea at that mo-
