Once Wrecked, i
BROKEN IN HEALTH.
Now He can Run and Jump “Equal to
a Sixteen-year-old Boy”—The Ef
fect of Six Boxes of Pink Pill*.
From the Messenger, Wilmington, N. C,
The following letter from George Russell,
a citizen of Laurinburg, N. C., will prove
of interest to many of our readers who may
be suffering from that dreaded disease—
rheumatism.
Laurinburg, N. C., April, 3,1895.
Dr. Williams’ Medicine Company, Schen
ectady, N. Y.
Gentlemen .-—During the summer of 1888
I had a severe attack of typhoid fever which
left my constitution in a wrecked and
broken down condition. Ever afterwards I
had to be very careful not to get the least
damp for if I did an attack of rheumatism
would be the result. I was able, however,
to attend to business the most of my time
though I could never say that I was well. I
continued this way till the summer of 1894
when I was taken with a moresevere attack
of rheumatism' which commenced first in
the back of my head and neck, then my
shoulders became involved. >1 suffered un
told agonies, could not rest day or night,
could get in no position that would give me
rest even for a few moments, could not
sleep more than 15 minutes at any one time,
had no appetite, mv flesh was reduced till I
weighed only 121 lbs. The disease moved
down or rather spread to the small of the
back and into both hips then to the left
knee joint. I could not walk up the door
steps, but had to crawl out and into the
house. About this time I was taken with a
shortness of breath which one doctor pro
nounced heart dropsy, another an excess of
water in the chest. I gave up all hopes of
ever getting any better or even living for
more than a few months. I wrote many of
my relations that 1 did not expect to live
but a very short time. Os course I had been
under the care of men who called themselves
good doctors all this time, I had six of them
to attend me during my sickness. I tried
everything that I could get that was said to
bene’fit people who had rheumatism but in
stead of getting relief I continued to grow
worse. One day a friend came to visit me
and like all other friends a remedy for
my ills. Her remedy was Dr. 'Williams’
Pink Pills for Pale People. She showed
me a paper which praised them very high
ly. I told her that I had no faith in them
and as for the advertisement in the paper, it
was nothing but mere bosh. But like a
drowning man that will catch at a straw I
concluded to try the pills I commenced to
get better from the first day. I took six
boxes and am well, my appetite is good, I
sleep well, have gained in flesh from 121 lbs
to 160 lbs. I have been in the rain till I was
literally drenched without experiencing any
annoyance afterwards. I can run, jump,
hop and skip equal to a sixteen-year-old boy.
Any one doubting this statement can be
satisfied by writing me.
Yours truly,
GEORGE RUSSELL.
Mr. George Russell has, this day appeared
in person before me a Justice of the Peace
for Richmond County, N. C., and made oath
that the statement contained in this manu
script is true in every particular. Sworn to
before me this 13th day of April, 1895.
M. K. JONES, J. P.

AFRAID OF THE ST. LOUIS.
■Queenstown Member Asks a Pointed Ques
tion In the House of Commons.
The advantages claimed for the now
American liner St. Louis as an ocean pass
monger steamship. as set forth in the com
plimentary resolution adopted by her prin
cipal passengers on her first voyage and
signed, among others, by Sir Julian
Pauncefote, the British embassador at
Washington, are to form the subject of a
question in parliament.
Captain Donolan, an Irish Nationalist
member, representing Queenstown, and
therefore interested in a rival route, gave
private notice to Sir Edward Grey, under
secretary .for foreign affairs, thxt ho would
.ask him this question:
“Whether the resolution sigitsd by Sir
Julian Paunccfote asserts that the St.
Louis has ‘demonstrated the inauguration
under American auspices of a new era in
the history of ocean traffic,’ and whether,
in view of ihe fact that such action on the
part of an embassador may be availed of
to advertise a foreign line at the expense
of British companies, whose ships have
invariably proved their superiority on both
the outward and the homeward passages
between this country and New York, he
will request Sir Julian Paunccfote to sub
stantiate the statements contained in the
resolution or withdraw his signature from
it.”
Speaking to a correspondent, Captain
Donelan said:
“lam asking the question, not out of
any unfriendly feeling to an American
company because it is American, but sim
ply in the interest of the Queenstown
route and the companies which still
make Queenstown a port of call despite the
Inducements held out to them to change
to Southampton. The American lino is
sparing no effort to discredit the Queens
town route, and it is my duty to guard its
interests.
“J dare say the under secretary won’t
give me any satisfaction, but the question
will act as an ant idote to the resolution of
the St. Louis’ passengers.”—Ballard
Smith in New York World.
MRS. CLEVELAND'S PRESENT.
The Funny Sort of Souvenir She Presented
to Mrs. Gilder.
Mrs. Grover Cleveland is safely settled
at Gray Gables for the summer, and Mrs.
Hlchard Watson Gilder is abroad visiting
the family of Charlie do Kay, at Vienna,
where Mr. do Kay is United Slates consul.
Mrs. Cleveland and Mrs. Gilder are fast
and firm friends. They arc so intimate In
deed that they call each other by their
Christian names
V.nen aits, oiKler was anout to go
abroad, Mrs. Cleveland expressed deep re
gret at the parting, which would necessa
rily be long, and said that she would be
pleased if Mrs. Qi Ider would accept from
her a souvenir of her affection.
Mrs. Gilder would be pleased, of course,
to receive from Mrs. Cleveland any sou
venir of afleetion.
Mrs. Cleveland said the souvenir would
not bo very expensive, because she could
not afford a"v rich and costly gift,, but
that it would-be something real nice and
wortn xeepmg, ana sucn a gilt as would
bring Mrs. Cleveland constantly to the
mind of Mrs. Gilder.
On the day of her departure Mrs. Gilder
received an elaborately tied up package,
which she opened with instinctive appre
hension that it was the beautiful and ap
propriate souvenir from Mrs. Cleveland.
She was not mistaken.
On opening the box she discovered that
it contained a silver toothbrush!
Rather a queer sort of souvenir, but cer
tainly one that would bring Mrs. Cleve
land frequently to the mind of Mrs. Gilder
if the latter should make practical use of
the gift.—New York Recorder.
STRANGE BRIDAL TOUR.
Mr. Williams and His Bride to Circle the
Globe Without a Cent.
W. T. Williams, Jr., and his bride of a
week are walking to San Francisco, their
first stage on a trip around the world.
They left the Russ House, Los Angeles,
without luggage or money.or food, with
nothing but the clothes on their backs and
a few things in their pockets.
Mr. Williams is a son of Deputy District
Attorney W. T. Williams, who is a broth
er of Judge Williams of Ventura. Like
his father and uncle, he is a big, stalwart
man, capable of withstanding all sorts of
hardships. Some ten days ago he surprised
his friends by announcing his intention of
getting married and about a week ago
turned up with a lovely bride and spent
his honeymoon at the Russ House.
The story now goes that he made a wager
of $5,000 with his uncle that his wife had
courage enough to undertake a journey
about the world without either of them
having any money or luggage.
The condition was imposed that not
more than two years should be occupied
in the trip, and that the travelers must
not receive any help from friends, but
must earn every cent they get from the
time of departure until their return. The
conditions were promptly agreed to, and
as no particular preparations were neces
sary it was decided to commence the long
journey at once.
The friends of the bride and groom as
sembled at the hotel, and the crowd was
increased by a number of curious specta
tors, so that when the last goodbys were
said and the plucky little woman and her
big husband took the first step out of doors
they were greeted by cheers from an as
sembly of several hundred people. They
bowed their thanks, and trudging along
were soon at the city limits and fairly
started on their way to San Francisco.
San Francisco and Seattle being visited,
then the road lies straight for the orient.
The undertaking is actuated by a desire
for sightseeing and adventure as well as
by the $5,000 purse which is up on the
venture. —San Francisco Examiner.
A SPANISH ROMANCE.
The Strange Story and Life of Don Alex
andre Soler of Madrid.
Mr. Stockton’s Pomona would revel in
the story of Don Alexandra Soler, who
died recently in Madrid, leaving his mil
lions to the queen regent. Eighty-two
years ago the Duke of San Fernando, a
grandee of Spain of the first class, was
about to marry the niece of King Ferdi
nand VII when he received one morning
in a basket a year old boy, with a letter
saying that the boy’s name was Alexan
dra, that his parents could not bring him
up themselves, and asking the duke to care
for him. Ho was naturally embarrassed,
but told the tale to his betrothed, who at
first thought of breaking the engagement,
but finally believed him, and they kept the
child.
As they had no children of their own,
they grew fond of him and treated him
like an adopted son. Some years later a
girl who saw him in the street declared
that he was her long lost brother. On in
vestigation her mother was found to be the
boy’s wet nurse, and the church where he
was christened was discovered. There the
register was badly blotted, but the moth
er’s name was given as Rosa Soler.
The boy received a good education, and
when, the duke died he left his property to
his wife with reversion to young Alexan
dra. The duke’s family protested, where
upon he left Madrid, went to Paris and
entered a merchant’s office, remaining
there until the last illness of the duchess.
Ho inherited her property and the duke’s
after a long contest in the courts. Then
another duchess, a leader in Madrid socie
ty, went to him and told him she was his
mother.
After her death the Empress Eugenie, it
is hinted, told him the name of his father,
who was of equally blue blood. Being so
badly mixed up as to who he really was,
Don Alexandro never married. Ho lived a
very simple life, went a good deal into so
ciety, was very charitable, and dying left
his money to Queen Christina, to whom
he had never been presented, as a mark of
his regard for her high character.—New

Hot Weather In Blllvllle.

send some missionaries out there.
Wo will not take up a collection on Sun

We sent out 17 four-in-hand neckties to

The Mexican mustang pony will very

animal, mostly used by cowboys in run

cheaper and can endure more than the large
cavalry stock of the east. One of the tests
included a horseback ride from Santa Fe
to San Antonio, Tex. The animal aver

THE ROME TRIBUNE. SATURDAY. JUNE 22. 1895.
Monument to a Train Bobber.
A letter has been received at the state
prison at Columbus, 0., from some one
who signs himself Archie Baldwin, asking
for the privilege''of placing u monument
at the grave t:f Rube Smith, the southern
train robber who died in the state prison
a few months ago.
• He wants to know if there is any limit
to the cost of stones placed over United
States prisoners’ graves. Though the let
ter is dated St. Louis, it boars the post

has answered that permission to place a
stone of proper size and inscription will be
given.—Atlanta Constitution.
Universal Cipher Code.
A universal cipher code for use in cable
messages has just been completed by ex
ports at Bern, Switzerland, who have la
bored nearly five years on its compilation.
The work was authorized by the Paris con
vention of telegraphers in 1890. The new
code comprises 250,000 words distinctly,
different from each other and none con
taining more than ten letters. It will be
adopted by all European countries as soon
as arrangements are-completed for its use,
and in a few years will probably become
the cable language of the entire world. —

Woman Suffrage In Maine.
Woman suffrage has made a point in
Maine. The right of women to vote in
parish meetings of the Episcopal church in
that state was granted at the recent dioc
esan convention, held in Portland, by a
vote of 16 to 14. The right to hold office
in the church is still withheld.
