DISAPPEARS
Taken From Devil's Island
and is Probably in.
France.
By Associated Press.
New York. Dec. 30 —A special to the
Herald from Paramaibova, Hayti, says:
It is reported here that former Capiain
Dreyfus, who for the last three years nas
been kept In solitary and close confinement
on Devil’s Island, one of tb-e isles de
Salut, a few miles east of here has been
removed from this island prison to Cay
enne and sailed from there to France on
December 4, last, on a convict transport.
No details regarding the whereabouts of
the prisoner or as to his ultimate desti
nation can be ascertained. It is believed
that he will be taken to Paris to wait the
orders of the court of cassation.
Memphia, Tenn., Dec. 30 —The Commer
cial-Appeal says:
Many who watch the interesting game
which large railroad companies play when
they are after a certain small line of road
■are very much interested just now in the
rumors to the effect that the Southern in
tends to purchase, if Indeed, it ha? not
already purchased, the -Northern Alabama
Railway, and the general belief is that
if the purchase is consummated there
will be a large amount of trouble from
the Kansas City, Memphis and Birming
ham road. The secret of this is that if
the Southern acquires the line it can run
into Atlanta from Memphis over its own
tracks, for it can go from here to Florence
or Sheffield over the Memphis and Char
leston division, thence to Cordova, Ala.,
over the Northern Alabama Railway, and
there it taps the old Georgia Pacific divis
ion of the Richmond and Danville, which
is now a part of the Southern Railway
system, and that line runs from Green
ville, Mies., to Atlanta.
Local railroad men have been specula
ting on these rumors for some time, and
many of them are disposed to the belief
that the Southern would like to own the
property, and that sooner or later it will
rake possession. Os course there are no
executive officials in Memphis of either
of the roads, and the officials in Memphis
of the Southern would likely never know
anything about the purchase until after it
was made, but present Indications are all
favorable to the purchase.
The Northern Alabama Railway owns a
lino from Sheffield to Jasper, a station
on the Kansas City, Memphis and Bir
mingham, a distance of about ninety-six
miles, and this is another attraction for
the Southern. Ownership of the road would
give it a connection over its own raile
from the East to the Mississippi river, on
direct routes, at two points—Memphis and
Greenville, Miss., and at the same time
will place the road in a position to com
pete with the Kansas City, Memphis and
Birmingham on the business to the East,
in passenger traffic which now goes by
Birmingham. Under present arrangements
traffic in the passenger line for the most
part takes one of three courses, the South
ern and Norfolk and Western via Bristol;
the Ixtuisville and Nashville and Pennsyl
vania via Cinnati; or the Kansas City.
Memphis ami Birmingham and Southern
via Birmingham and (Atlanta.
if the Southern owned the Northern
Railway of Alabama, its line from here to
Birmingham would be the same that it is
by Decatur, and thence over the Louisville
and Nashville, or 272 miles, as against 251
miles over the Kansas City, Memphis and
Birmingham. East of Birmingham the
Southern owns the line to Washington,
and of course could easily control connec
tions so that, this difference in mileage
would make no difference between the two
lines to Birmingham.
The next question which suggests itself
is, what would the men who own the Kan
sas City lines do about the matter? The
combination is a wealthy one; it is said
they have unlimited money, and not the
lea«t improbable of results would be the
construction of a line from Birmingham
to Atlanta. There independent connect
ions cast could be made easily, and in such
an event the Kansas City road would al
most. hold the key to the situation, for it
has a line west of the Mississippi river,
which to all intents and purposes goes to
Denver. Boston men are the owners of '
the Kansas City lines, and some think that
a well-aimed threat to take such a step
would probably shut the Southern people
out of the purchase of the Northern Rail
way of Alabama.
The Southern’s policy has been to es
tablish connections in almost every direc
tion over its own rails, where there is a j
possibility of advantage, and if for no bet
ter reason it would seem more than prob
able that it will become the purchaser of
the little road in Alabama that now begins
as many* other short lines —nowhere—and
ends at the same place.
This line would be a good freight feeder
lor the Southern, and this feature is
doubtless more attractive to the Southern
people than all the passenger facilities
j that half a dozen such lines would give,
k It would be felt by the Louisville and
I Nashville, the Nashville. Chattanooga and
r Sst. Louis and the Kansas City, Memphis
and Birmingham, too. for as the matter
now stands, the Louisville and Nashville
gets a good share of the mineral move
fement that region, as well as the
named. It will not be long before
- m he fate of the road is known, but just
<Mtow everything is of speculative character
there is plenty of room for speculat
ion upon the possibilities of the line.

Mr. Wagnon’s death is a great shock to

Whitefield nnd the Attor.
The best sketch of Whitefield’s preach
ing I have found in the memoirs of Cor
nelius Winter, who was a faithful compan
ion and assistant of the immortal evangel
ist. Mr. Winter tells us that a famoua
comedian of the day, by name Shuter,
often attended Mr. Whitefield’s Aiinistry.
Ono of his famous stage characters was
known by the name of Ramble. The biog
rapher tells us that during the run of the
performance of “Ramble” Shuter attended
service on Sabbath morning at Tottenham
Court chapel and was seated in the pew
exactly opposite to the pulpit. “While Mr.
Whitefield was giving full sally to his soul
he fixed himself full against Shuter with
his eye upon him, adding to what he had
previously said, ‘And thou, poor Ramble,
who hast long rambled from him, come
you also—oh, end your rambling by com
ing to Jesus!’” ,
This was the whole tone of Whitefield’s
ministry. Hu preached the gospel as if it
wero a message to every human soul; tha
worse the soul the more emphatic and di

If a man will
stop and reason
for a moment,
he does not
have to be a physician to understand the
causes of impure blood, or its far-reaching
effects. When a man’s digestion is disor
dered, his liver sluggish, his bowels inac
tive, the blood is deprived of the proper
food elements, and the sluggish liver and
bowels supply in their place, the foulest
of poisons. The blood is the life-stream.
When it is full of foul poisons, it carries
and deposits them in every organ and tis
sue of the body. Bone, sinew, muscle, and
flesh-tissue, the brain cells and the nerve
fibres are all fed upon bad, poisonous food.
Serious ill-health is bound to result. The
man is weakened in every fiber of his body.
He is weakened physically, mentally and
morally. He suffers from sick headache,
distress in stomach after meals, giddiness
and drowsiness, loss of appetite and sleep,
bad taste in the mouth, shakiness in the
morning, and dullness throughout the day,
and lassitude and an indisposition to work.
Sooner or later these conditions develop
