Offices: 412 Cherry Street. Israel Zangwill. Israel Zangwill, the Hebrew author who i.» now touring‘the South, is one ot the most unique as well as distinqultfhed characters in the literary world. He was l«>rn in the .poor Jewish quarter, the “Ghetto,” of London, thirty-three years ago, and received his education in the free Jewish schools of London. He was reared ■by very jx»or parents, and his training was only euoh as was afforded out of the pub lic purse. L'jton his graduation he be i'.'uik' a teacher in the school where ho was educated, and first attracted atten tion by satires on London society, 'Which < i*t him hla jxesition. He then establish ed the ‘‘Ariel,” ami later became the edi tor of the Standard. While at work on tire Standard lie beg.yi the publication of the "Ghetto" series, which have made 'him famous. Zangwill is distinguished by a breezy, epigrammatic style, which punctures n<>n.-eii f . through the midriff and presents the naked truth in the clearest light. This quality has made him easily the greatest < t itle in London. He is a self-made man —as much so as Charles Dickens, and is much like his illustrious predecessor in his trenchant exjivsition of liteary, social, uligious and civic fraud. His passion is horseback riding, and his weakness, as it were, is his love of the "Glxelta,” where he etill lives. Like other great self-made m< n, he probably takes pride in constantly reminding himself of the humble origin whence he sprang. The Atchison Globe charges that half the men carry the watches they gave their wives before marriage. Is It a Trust? A unique and Jmimrtant jroint has been raised by Attorney General Monnett, of Ohio, which may have lhe effect of break ing up the various insurance combines which control and tlx rates. The Ohio at torney general has begun proceedings in tlie supreme court, to oust about sixty in surance agents of Akron who have formed an organization to fix fire insurance rates. Thin will test, the question raised between 4lie attorney general and State Insurance Commissioner Matthews as to whether agents can make such combinations. Suit 'is brought under the general decision of tlie Ohio supreme court that such combi nations are in restraint of trade and against public policy. if lhe attorney general of Ohio is suc cessful in breaking up a combine of this character, it is quite probable that pro ceedings will be brought against the Southeastern Tariff Association,, which is a combination "in restraint of trade and against public policy.” The political forcasts of the New York papers seem to have indicated nothing ex cept the political complexion of those pa pers. Contemptible, if True. The London Chronicle has always been known as ah enterprising ami reliable journal. Last week it published a sensa tional dispatch from the Soudan to the effect that Major Marchand, before the battle, of Omdurman. communicated with the Khalifa, inviting the 'Dervish chief to hoist the French flag with the purpose of Incoming an ally of France. The dispatch, furthermore, stated that the letter ot Marehand and the Khalifa’s reply are in General Kitchener's possession. While the story seems fantastically in credible, it still remains undenied. Strangely inexplicable is the Sirdar’s si lence on this startling announcement, since his arrival in London. Should the tale be shown to have a Ixisis France will be the object of inter national contempt. It is barely believable that one civilized nation would seek the circumvention of another by rendering aid and comfort to Dervish fanatics. It is an attack on humanity. It is not a question inf "All is fair in love and war—and di plomacy. It is a blunder—a damaging and criminal one on the part of French statesmen. If a nation shall seek to align itself with barbarism as opposed to a civ ilizing force, such action merits that she shall be treated ns an Ishmaelite among •the humane and progressive peoples of the world. i\ Battle Creek woman is under arrest charged with killing her husband by feed ing hint ground glass.

The Northwestern University, at Evan ston. 111., a Chicago suburb, has establish ed a matrimonial course “to inculcate cor rectness of style and demeanor while in the act of getting married.” Well, well! d'p to the present writing it has been the ■world-wide belief that in matters Hyme neal, the Chicagoans had nothing to learn. And it has been no indistinct part of the world’s knowledge that in the undoing of Hymens work, the Windy Citizans are the prize winners of the advanced classes. Hence, the surprise that will be occasion al when it is learned that the potent, grave and reverend seignore of the North western University have appointed a pro fessor whose duty it is to teach young men and women of the Lake City proper standards of matrimonial etiquette. In fancy one can hear the professorial iconoclast talking thus: "You must avoid all display of feeling. Such exhibitions are vulgar. Your grand fathers and grandmothers committed that fault. I pray you avoid iL "There must be no betrayal of pretty confusion on the part of the bride. The groom must display no braggadocio. I "You will be relieved of all embarrass ment about finding the ring—the officiat ing clergyman will have one in his pocket ready for use. "Don't trouble yourself about handing the minister a S2O gold piece, or a SIOO note —your best man will attend to that. “The groom should not bother himself about kissing the bride at the conclusion ..I / of the ceremony—l will be on hand to at tend to the osculatory requisites ” Thus, at this rapid rate we are traveling toward the prosaic age—the age when man can plight his troth or wonun hers, and exhibit no more emotion than when he says: “A close shave, please,” or she; “Three yards and a half, please.” The poet, like Othello, will find his occupation gone. The dramatist, whose specialty has I been catering to the tear-ducts, will be in arrears for his room rent. And this chair at the Evanston school will be responsible for it all. The people of North Carolina have rea son to appreciate the work of the Atlanta Constitution during the recent campaign in that state. Had the Constitution been a North Carolina paper it could not have labored more faithfully in the interests of the white people of that stat% and it is quite evident that Its efforts did much which has at last rid the state of negro domination. sentiment which has at last rid the state of negro domination. BIG JUBILEE IsWm. H. West’s Idea of Modern Stage Minstrelsy. At the time of the formation of William H. West's Big Minstrel Jubilee, which is to be seen here for the first time on next Saturday night, there was considerable talk of how different it was to be from all that had gone before. The public, not un naturally perhaps, inquired somewhat doubtingly how, after all, one minstrel show could differ from another. Mr. West has positive opinions on this subject. His ' idea of modern minstrelsy is that it must, in. a musical way, have all the value of opera; that it must exceed in novelty any thing known in vaudeville;. that it must retain only a tinge of the picturesqueness of the plantation; that it must please the ear by vocal and orchestral excel lenece; must surprise and delight the eye by the beauty of its costumes and stage settings; and must astonish the mind by the abso lute novelty of its special features and the spectacular character of its finale.* He be lieves, in fact, that modern minstrelsy, or rather the minstrelsy of the future such as he has inaugurated, should draw all that is best from every form of entertain ment known to the stage, uniting them in a pot pourri of up-to-dateness. .All should go with the dash, rapidity and sparkle of the ideal farce-comedy. The brightest, latest jests, a touching ballad, a scream ingly funny song, a refrain of the old time darky, a daring feat of a stage ath lete, the lightning marvelousness of a clever juggler, a monologue of quaintest humor, the twinkling of dancing feet, grace, skill, melody, fun —all these follow ing on one another’s heels with electric swiftness, and with color, light, beauty, brilliancy everywhere—<tha’s modern min strelsy according to "Billy” West's ideas. That, too, is what he promisee for his “Big Minstrel Jubilee.” If he carries it out the public will rise and call him Jdess ed, for the public is hungry for just that sort of ’thing. AGAINST PHTLTIPPTNES. Boston Merchants Are Opposed to the Ac quisition of Islands. By Associated Press. 'Boston, Nov. 10—At a meeting of the directors of the Boston Merchants Asso ciation the following resolution was unan imously adopted: Resolved, That in the opinion of the' board of directors of this association the acquisition of any part of the Philippine islands except what is needed for a naval station would be detrimental to the inter ests of the United States.” ACADEMY TONIGHT. Musical Comedy is the Attraction to Play Against the Circus. “A Hired Girl,” a musical comedy by Chas. E. Blaney, author of “A Baggage Check,” “A Run on the Bank,” “A Female Drummer,” “A Boy Wanted,” “The Elec trician,” “A 'Railroad Ticket,” and other successes, will be the atraction at the Academy tonight. It is a satire on the servant girl ques- 1 1 : \ wtl tion, and this despised menial as por trayed by Thos. J. 'Ryan, succeeds in get ting herself entangled in numerous amus ing- situations. The special music was written by Harry James, and in addition the latest topical songs and operatic fa vorites are introduced. There are also specialties by Happy Fannie Fields, Edwina. 'Annie and Chas. Glockers, Campbell and Beard, and nu merous other artists.

Their bodies cry out but in a language that only the sufferers themselves can hear. When a man is suffering in this way his body cries out with an aching head, a sluggish body, muscles that are lax and lazy, a brain that is dull, a stomach that disdains food and nerves that will not rest. A wise man will heed these warnings and will resort to the right remedy before it is too late. Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Dis covery makes the appetite keen and hearty. It invigorates the liver. It promotes the natural processes of secretion and excre tion. It makes the digestion and assimila tion perfect. It purifies the blood and fills it with the life-giving elements of the food. It tears down old and worn-out tissues and replaces them with the firm, muscular tis sues of health. It is the great blood-maker and flesh-builder. It is the best nerve tonic. It cures 98 pqr cent, of all cases of consump tion. weak lungs, bronchitis, lingering coughs and kiuared ailments. Found at all medicine stones.

A Mendicant’s Account of How He Lost • Leg In Cuba. “Yes, sir.” said the one legged man mournfully t-c the man whose attention ho i had attracted by addressing him as “Say, friend”—“l list this leg at Cuba, and that’s the trut h. ” “You don’t say,” the other observed sympathetically. “I’ve been reading about the trials and troubles of you poor fellows •—that is, allowing you are telling facts and really were there.” “Friend, I hope I may die in this spot and die painfully if -it isn’t just as I tell you. I know I am suspected as a fraud because there are so many liars who try to work on people’s sympathies, but I am telling tho actual, honest truth, I lost tiiis leg in Cuba. If you’ll give mo a dime mister, I'll tell you all about it. It's a very interesting story.” The sympathetic stranger, being assur ed, complied: “It was a dark night, friend,” the crip ple beg in, “and nobody but a fool or a man who was half drunk would have thought of doing such a tiling. I s’pose in all honesty I ought to confess I’d took a drop that night.” “I can understand. I have heard about that rainfall and the mud and exposure.” “Yes, it was a dark night, and you could not sco a thing. Suddenly a bright light flashed over to the west. It wa» a head light.” “Ah, j’es! a searchlight, you mean.” “And then there came tiie roar and rat tle of”— “A rapid fire gun. Was there any smoke to it?” ‘ ‘ Too dark to see, but I know there was, though, for I’ve gone against tho same game in daylight, and I know how it looks. Well, the fellow who was firing”— “Only one? But, of course, there was but one handling it.” “There was only one of ’em firing, but he was a daisy all right. ‘Will it never stop!’ 1 asked my mate. “ ‘We’ll just take it. anyway,’ says he. “As I said, we had been drinking. No body but one who had would ’a’ tried to do it.” “Heroic man!” murmured the sympa thetic strauger. “So, when she camo up close I, seeing she. wasn’t going to stop for tho crossing at all, made a grab for the hand bolt on the first box car. My mate jumped for a flat and made it, but 1 missed and fell to the,' track, and tho wheel went over this leg. “That’s tho way it happened. If you don’t believe it, you can write to the doc tor at Cuba, Missoury, ami he’ll tell you it’s gospel truth. 1 niay ho a mendicant, d.r, but I am no liar.”—Chicago Record. Academy of Music.

J / I If the people generally know the i true cause of Rheumatism, there t would be no such thing as lini ments and lotions for this painful k and disabling disease. The fact is, Rheumatism is a disordered state of the blood—it can be reached, therefore, only through the blood. k But all blood remedies can not cure j Rheumatism, for it is an obstinate i disease, one which requires a real blood remedy— something more than " a mere tonic. Swift’s Specific is l the only real blood remedy, and it i promptly goes to the very bottom of even the most obstinate case. A few years ago I was taken with in flammatory Rheumatism, which, though mild at first, became gradually so in , tense that I was for weeks unable to walk. I tried several prominent physi cians and took their treatment faith i fully, but was unable to get the slightest relief. In fact, my condition seemed to grow worse, the pains spread over my i entire body, and from November to March I suffered agony. I tried many i patent medicines, but none relieved me. • Upon the advice of a friend I decided to try S. S. S.
