f'V-'w THf' BAN*CK OP DC AIH I A man cannot straddle the fence when it conu s to the question of good health or ill health Either he marches tin der the Hag of health or th. banner of death. It U the «imnle»t thing in the world to gain and keep health, if men and women only will For that reaaon it is almost incredi ble that men and women will continue to neglect their health even after they must realize that they are marching under the banner of death The great majority of diseases have their inception in indigestion, biliousness and impure blood Among these diseases are deadly consumption, nerve racking, brain wrecking nervous prostration and exhaus tion, body torturing rheumatism, insanity breeding neuralgia, emaciating malaria and all manner of disfiguring blood and skin diseases. i>r Pierce's Golden Medical Dis covery is a cure for all these diseases, if taken in anything like reasonable time. It is not a cure all, but cures the diseases men tioned for the reason that they are caused and aggravated by the same disorders, ft makes the appetite keen, the digestion per fect, the liver active, the blood pure and builds firm flesh and healthy nerve fiber.

P., Lippman's Great Remedy, Saves a Man From Becoming a Cripple. Mr. Asa Airinons, n well-known citizen of Jacksonville, Florida, was atllieted by a terrible nicer. Medical skill seemed unavailing in slopping' t he ravages of the terrible disease. The leg was swollen and intensely painful, as the ulcer had eaten its way down to the very bone. All medicines and treatments having failed to effect a cure, the doctors said the leg must come off. Just when it seemed that Mr. Ammons would become a disabled and a crippled man, he tried I’. I‘. Lippman's Great Remedy, and the re sult was wonderful. f P. P. P. SAVES HIS LEG. “ Jacksonville, Fla., July 1, 1805. — Two years ago 1 had the worst ulcer on my leg 1 ever saw. It. had eaten down to the bone, and my whole leg below my knee, and my foot was swollen and inflamed. The bone was swollen and painful, and discharged a most offensive matter. My physicians said I had necrosis of the bone, and my leg would have to come off. At this stage I commenced to take I‘. P. P. and to bathe my leg with hot castile soap suds. It began to improve at once and healed rapidly, and is to-day a sound and useful leg. “ 1 think P. P.

CONDITIONS AT PRESENT, Interesting Outline of the Events that Haye Preceded the Situa tion As It Now Exists. The island of Cuba lies just within the Nui4.il '1 on .J Zou<-; immediately south ot tii» state of Florida. The meridian of du»a» ii at iu widest part, about z..u miles east oi Havana, and auout milese west oi <.'ape Maiai, me most cusiem pom t. ihe distance from the northwest coast of i.uh.i to me Florida mainland is only auout wiAit s< purales .vew Yuix from Ai i/apy, or Wasumgtou Horn I'iniadelphia oa toe one hand auu .Norioia on the oOier. Ihe ieiigtu of tne island, measured in its inendi.iti line from Cape Maisi to Cape Suu Atlloma (fl degress uX lougituiude ill the latitude of 20 digreis N. to 23 degrees N) is about 7(>o mules, and the breadth luiastiiLd at the narrowest part, which is hi the vicinity of Havana, is iroin 20 to ml> miles. idle Widest part is in tne east, when imasund tn the imridiau oi Maza nifio 'at the muulu of Kio Cuuto, tue on adlh IM 125 miles. t>KHJIN Gif THE WAR. The prtsuit war with Cuba had its origin the close of ISIH. The chief or gamzur was General Jose Marti, who at taut time was in New York. The revolu tion was being ii'alehcd and the date agreed Uiioii was I?'< oruary 24, 1805. Maili, with three vessels, left for Cuba, but Hie expedition was stopped at Fernan dina, Fia., by the United States authori ties. in January Marti left New York tor S.ui iwinlugo, where be joined Geueiul Maximo Gomez, who had been an able and famous leader in the former—the ten year's war. When February 24th arrived tlie revolution was under lull headway. Martial law was declared throughout the island. Spain then had 19,000 men on the island in addition to -the oii.OOd volunteer troops. However, to make sure, Spain dis patched several thousand more of her troops in the following March. In April the brothel’s, Antoni'a euid Jose Maceo, to gether with iCebreco and some twenty or more other revolutiouairy leaders, arrived from Costa Rica. Ten days later Jose Marti and Maximo Gomez arrived from San Domingo. THE TROCHA IDEA. The first concentration of the insurrec tion was in the ‘Province of Santiago de Cuba, the most mountainous and most re mote from from the capital. The Spanish general, Martinez de Campos, had conceiv ed the idea of a trocha defense. The idea of a trocha to fence out an enemy was thought to be good. Reports of engagements came In from time to time, but no serious encounter took place. During all -this time there were assurances from Spain of reinforce ments to be sent to the island. General (i.unpos was recalled, and, on January 17, he nailed tor‘Spain, bis place being tempo rarily tilled by General Sabas Marin. On February 10 Campos was succeeded by General Valeriana Weyler y Nicalau. immediately following his appointment reports rtiached the -United -States that Captain General Weyler was about to take the field in person. In the meantime he, too, tried his hand at fencebuilding. Cam pos had built three trochas. Weyler built a fourth one across the ‘island from Ma jana to Muriel, about twenty-five miles west of 'Havana. WEYLER RIDCALLED. The recall of General ‘Weyler and the appointment of his successor, General Blanco is still fresh in the public mind. Gi neral Blanco has now at his disposal lio.ooo regular soldiers and 00,000 volun teers us home guards, besides a large naval coast guard. I he number of the partiot army cannot be ascertained with any exact certainey. They have variously been stated to be from 3-‘,OO to 05,000 men, distributed mostly in Ine 1 lovince of .Vlatanzas, S.mtiago, -Santa t I da. Havana ami Sancti-Spiritus. lin lea.h rs who,have thus far shown the highest capacity are Mta.ximo Gomez and \ntouio Maceo. The death, however, of the latter over a year ago, was a sore blow' to the cause of the patriots. General Gomez is now 75 yearns years of age, he is a mabive of Santo Domingo and took an active part iu tlie revolutionary attempt in 1808. The dead Maceo was a half breed, both his parents being mulattos. POLICY OF REOONCEJXTRATIOtf. 'ln conducting the present war the ob ject of Spain is to suppress the present re volt by any means available. General Wey ler s terrible order of reconcentratiou was the beginning of the war of extermination. The wives and female relatives of the pa triots were driven from their homes and huddled together in fortified cities where they were subjected to all imagionabie cruelties, and many of whom (now figured at 450.000) perished from privation. At the present time the Cyban govern ment is working with just the same rou tine as any well-recognized government. Major General Bartolome Maso, the presi dent of the Cuban republic, is a very con scientious, enegetic and intelligent man, and, above all things, a great patriot, and one who has the reputation of being one of the most honest men on the island. .He was born .in Manzanillo in 1868. On the 24th of February, 1885, he left Manzanillo and has been in the Held ever since. He was elected vice president of the Cuban re public on September 13, 1595, and elected president October 28, 1897. The vice president, Mendez Capote, is also an exceedingly bright and clever man, and is a great diplomat. 'He has the rank of Brigadier General, and was born in Cardenas, in the Province of Matanzas. MEMBERS OF THE CABAN-ET. The members of the cabinet are also very competent and intelligent men, belonging to some of the very best families in Cuba. The secretary of war, Brigadier Jose B. Aleman, is a native of Santa Clara, and is 34 years old. He is not only a planter, but the editor and owner of La Defeusa, a liberal newspaper published in Santa C-l-rra. and has servedyas ald.erman of the tAanta Clara municipal council. The secretary of foreign affairs. Colo nel Andres Moreno de la Torre, was born fn Cardenas, in the province of Matanzas. He is 38 years old and holds the degree of ILL.D. He is the owner of a sugar plan tation and is a well known lawyer of Ha vana and Cardenas. The secretary of the interior, -Lieuten ant Colonel Manuel Ramon Silva, was born in Puerto Principe. He is 30 years old and holds the degree of doctor of med icine, and is a well known physician in Puerto Principe. WORKSHOPS AND SCHOOLS. The patriots are now well supplied with workshops where arms are repaired and where shoes, saddles and other supplies are manufactured for the army. There are good schools in Cuba and a very good pos tal service, using the well known Cuban stamps. The pacificos who are in the fields supply the food for the army, and are under mili tary supervision. Their huts are often used as hospitals. Cubans consider the offer of autonomy a sham, a mere device on the part of Spain to lure the patriots in laying down their arms. They now have fought for nearly three years, and they will contineu to fight no matter how long, to gain the end that Marti and Macro Indicated to them, and they will ont lay down their arms until the flag of freedom shall from Cape Maisi to Cape San Antonio.

When thirteen young ladies from other cities and states recognize the superior advantages of the Georgia Business Col lege and enter in one week it means bad luck neither to the college nor to the city.

New desks have been purchased and added to the college every month for the past scyen months. The beet time to advertlee la all tbe tinea. PAVING FIGHT Will Open at the City Council Meeting To night. The fight over the paving question will be opened up in council tonight and will be the principal matter to come before the aldermen. It is altogether improbable, however, that anything will be done that will indi cate what course council intends to pur sue. The representatives of the Southern As phalt Company are in the city and have been making an active canvass of the property owners, with a view to getting them to ask that asphalt be used as the material on most of the streets that still remain to be paved. A large number of these property own ers have signed the petition, and some of the aidermen have stated that they will" vote for the material that property own ers want. The asphalt men are of the opinion that they are in a good position for the light. On the other hand the brick men say that they will get a vote for some of their material on some of the streets, and it is not at all -improbable that they are right in holding to this belief.

Secretary Craig, Resigned, ISucceeded by Mr. Roland B. Hall. The Confederate veterans of Bibb coun ty met last night and made arrangements for the observance of Memorial Day next week. Os course the uncertainty as to when the militia of the state will be called out makes it somewhat difficult to arrange any program, but the veterans will be on hand as usual. Colonel Wiley met with the veterans before going over to the ar mories to inspect the military of his com mand. In addition to being the commander of the Vetetrans’ Association of this county, he is the commander of the military. In fact it may be said that he is the leader of the old and the new generation of sol diers. At last night’s meeting Dr. R. iB. . Hall was elected secretary in the place of Mr. D. D.

Stories of tbe Intelligence uisiilayed by horses in fire departments have been told over and over again, but there Is a horse in the Boston fire department that seems to be worthy of a little attention at this time, as ho has about completed the days when be ean be Us- d with safety and prob ably will soon go where he will have noth ing to do but kick up his heels and enjoy himself. Thia horse is known to the mem bers of the deportment and, indeed, to many of the citizens of Boston as Old Jim, and is tiow at tbe Dartmouth street engine house, where he is an "emer | gcncy" horse. This means that he is used : when one of the regular animals is sick or ■ away Ix’ing shod or when the condition of the streets demands an extra horse. The men tell several amusing stories about him and the way he acts when an alnrm is Rounded in the engine house. As soon as the "tapper” sounds and the stall doors fly opeij Old .Tim makes a rush for the floor. As soon as he leaves his stall and gets out on the main floor be hesitates a moment and then rushes to the vacant place as though he understood that he was as likely to have to fill one position as an other. Another little trick he has is that of helping himself at the grain chest when he thinks no one is around to see him. He will turn nearly around in bis stall and with his lips will shake the book of the rcipo back of him from the ring in which it is fastened. Then he will back out of the stall and, going over to the grain closet, will push buck the wooden button with his lips, pull the door open and then, raising the lid of the grain chest, will help himself. If he hears the step of one of the men, he will rush back to his stall and crouch up in ono corner as if ho knew well enough he had been doing something wrong. One of the most surprising stories told about him relates to bls actions ata fire in the leather district several years ago. The story is vouched for by Captain Mulligan of engine No. 22 and several of his mon, and, while it may seem hard to believe, those who know the horse say that it is thoroughly characteristic of him. Previous to this fire Old Jim had been quartered at the Fort Hill square engine bouse, but bad been transferred to the Dartmouth street house to take the place of another horse. The lire was one that required the services of the Dartmouth street company, and Old Jim went to it as leader on the three horse (team of the engine. When the scene of the lire was reached and the men settled to work, the horses were detached from the engine, and Old Jim was tied to a lamppost, his two mates being connected with him by the harness. When the fire had been subdued and the mon were ready to go back to their house, the driver went over to get his horses, hut no horses were visible. No one had seen them go, and immediately everybody began a searyh for the missing team. And whore does the reader suppose those horses were found? Old Jim, remembering his former home in Fort Hill square and pcrhtrps wishing to introduce his companions to his old mates, had in some way unfastened his tie rein and had towed his two mates to the house in Fort Hill square, where ho was found looking round contentedly and apparently enjoying himself immensely. Ono of his former drivers said recently that when Old Jim was at Fort Hill square ho had many a time gone to a fire with the bits hanging from his mouth, but he seem ed to know just where he was going and only needed the slightest pressure to make him turn in any direction required. So well did he seem to know just where he wanted to go that the men almost be lieved ho could count the alarms. In fact, a boy did call at the Fort Hill square house one day and asked to see the horse that could count the box when an alarm was sounded. Boston Transcript. The “Arbiter of Europe’s Destiny.” The German emperor wishes to pose as the arbiter of Europe’s destiny. He thinks ho can array Europe against England moro effectually than Napoleon ever did. Witli a man holding such views, illumined by the wisdom of God’s anointed,"as he con ceives, there could bo no durable under standing—to think of a Hohenzollern with a royal pedigree of less than two centuries advancing such pretensions would have shocked the least modest of the present emperor’s ancestors—and, such being the ease, it is safer to base all our calculations on his hostility. In this matter the Prince of Wales has faithfully reflected English sentiment. He is entitled to the credit of having seen through the German ruler’s sentiments iron, a very early period of his reign and to have firmly refused to bo any party to the condonation of the Emperor William’s offenses not merely against good breeding, but against the dignity and majesty of his own country. When the Prince of Wales is pursued even to his private box in a theater so that he may have to listen to the imperial explanation that braggadocio at Kiel does not signify a Belshazzar’s warning for England, it is high time for the German ruler to take a lesson in manners as well as in the arcana of far eastern politics.— Contemporary Review.
