It is the play io which Hoyt took the greatest pride, because hie wife had the leading fe male role in it. The author traveled with the company when he could get away from New York, and on occa sions assumed the role of Brassy Gal', the member of the- third house. The lamented death of Mrs. Hoyt left a Vacancy in the original company, which has been filled the last two sea swe by Katie Putnam, io whom Mr. Hoyt has fonnd the ideal "A Texas Steer” cannot help but amuse every American citizen wbo has any sense of the oddities of our politi cal system, which makes it possible for the biggest ignoramus in the land to land in congress.

Blaxb. t naisuru itnnmm —— What Present McKinley Said to the General Assembly. When President McKinley aroae to address the general assembly, of Geor gia Wednesday, no one anticipated bis speech. So when he deliberately yet feelingly, gave voice to fraternal sentiments no unequivocal, coming as they din froto president—« repub lican once a federal officer—hie listen ore were for a moment swept from their mental fo&ing. Confederate vet erans—many of them members of the legislature—broke into tears, and a volcano of applause followed. President McKinley said ? “Section al lines no longer mar the map of the United States. Sectional feeling no longer bolds back the love wo bear each other. Fraternity io the national anthem, sung by a chorus of forty-five states and our territories at homo and , i beyond the seas. The union is once more the common altar of our love and loyally, our devotion and sacrifice. The old flag again waves over us in peace with now glories, which your sons end our sons have Ibis year add ed to itasacred folds. Whet cause we have fur rejoicing, saddened only by the fact that so many of our brave men fell on field or sickened and died from hardship and exposure, and others re turning bringing wounds and disease from which they will long suffer. The memory of the deed will be a precious legacy, and the disabled will be the nation’s care “A nation which cares for its dis abled soldiers, as we have always done, will never lack defenders. The na tional cemeteries for those who fell in battle are proof that the dead as well as the living have our love. Whalan army of silent sentinels we have, and with what loving care tbeir graves are kept! Every soldier’s grave made du ring our unfortunate civil war is a tribute to American valor. “And while When those graves were made we differed widely about the fu ture of this government, these differ ences were long ago settled by the ar bitrament of arms—and the time has come in the evolution of sentiment and feeling under the province of God, when in the spirit of fraternity we-sbould share with you in the care of the graves of the confederate sol diers. “The cordial feeling now happily existing between the north and south prompts this gracious act, and if it needed further justification, it is found in the gallant loyalty to the un* ion and the flag so conspiciously shown in the year just passed by the sons and grandsons of these heroic dead. “Whit a glorious future awaits us if unitedly, wisely and bravely we face the new problems now pressing upon us, determined to solve them for right and humanity.” o aotouxa. Bun th* The Kind Yom Haw Always Bough! God’s Blessings for 9s. 9d- A few days age one of the registrars of Lambeth advertised the fact that marriages would be performed for 9 shillings 9 pence at the registrar’s office, says the Pall Mall Gazette. Now the vicar of one the parishes of Isling ton has reduced bis scale of charges for the solemnisation of marriages at hie church In the current issue of mom lily record, published recently, the reverend gentleman ..makes the following announcement: ‘ The vicar gives notice that mar riages will, for the fytuie, be solem-J nixed at St. ’• (provided that one of the parties to the marriage lives in the pariah) at a cost of 9 shillings 9 pence, inclusive of the cost of the banns. Hitherto the fees have amounted to J. 6 shillings 6 pence. Tbs reduced fee is exactly the same as that charged for marriage by the registrar. Marriage is sacred. Cbrist tiau people ought to bo married in church, where prayer ought to be made, and the blessing* of God pro nounced. It shell not be henceforth in St. ’a pariah that any go to the registrar’s office simply because it is cheaper Children of God shall not be asked to pay extra for their Fa ther’s hleuing. In future 9 shillings 9 pence will cover all coat.’" OA.BTORZX. iMath, Tin Kind Ym Haw Always StagM 9KIFFIN, &EOMIA, FRIDAY MORNIN6, DECEMBER W, 1898 THE DOCTOR IN WAR. Elk* T*et *t Coaraere Wte*»- I •v«w VaS«r Wire. I The London Lauoet baa an article about the bravery of surgeons under fire. The Lancet’s article is about Brit ish surgeons. It applies in so far as its anecdotes go to them, but in its general terms and its comments it applies to all. We have never read of a surgeon quailing under fire or deserting hie post in a pasta, and what ia a great deal more we have never heard of a sur geon quailing before a hospital or de serting bis poet, though yellow fever, smallpox, typhus or cholera threatened his life and surrounded him with Its horrors. There are many well authen ticated stories of the courage and devo tion of our army dooton in the field and hospital. The latter is the much more trying to courage aqd fidelity. The excitement of battle goes far to keep a man at his work, even should be be disinclined for it The long dreary watches of the hospital, the hard and thankless round of duty, the hourly scenes of horror and possibly the dis couraging absence of proper assistance and support from the administration of the army are what try a doctor’s nerve and test his fortitude and patriotism. We do not know why they stand the test so well—better apparently, on an average, than those whose trade it Is supposed to be to faoe death and danger. But the fact remains that they do, all honor to them!—San Francisco Report The Modem Mother Has found*that her little ones are Improv ed more by the pleasant Syrup of Figs when in need of the laxative effect of a gentle remedy than by any other, and that it is more acceptable to them. Children enjoy it and it benefits them. The true remedy, Syrup of Figs, is manufactured by the California Fig Syrup Company only. Dean Swift and John- “Look ye, man, why haven’t you cleaned and polished my bools?” asked Dean Swift of bis eccentric ser vant, John, at a tavern where they bad just passed the night. ‘‘What’s the use of polishing snob things?” asked John, doggedly, as be hold up the boots, discolored and gri my, “Very true,” said the Dean, and without farther protest be put them on. Then be went to the office and gave orders that John should have no breakfast. He partook of bis own and directed' the , boatier to saddle the horses end lead them to the door. "Mercy!” cried John, when be found the dean ready to start. “I haven’t had my breakfast yet.” “Ob,” replied Swift, "I can’t see the use in you breakfasting; you would soon be hungry again.” John could think of no answer to such on unexpected application of bis own sophistry, so he maintained a sto ical silence. They mounted and rode on, the dean in advance reading his prayer book, and the servant following at a respectful distance. “Hark ye, my man,” said a stranger whom they met, after be had ob served the two closely, “you and your master seem to be an uncommonly sober pair; may I ask who you are and where you are going?” “We are as near saints as we can be," replied John, solemnly, “and we are going to heaven, I hope. My master’s praying, and I’m doing ttq fasting.” Bmm th* Kind You Haw Always Bought FRIDAY, DEC. 16. ; There Has Been No Equal taeoew oa Hoyt’s Seage. HOYT’S A TEXAS STEER.

THE KIDNEY The pale, sallow, sunken-cheeked, dis tressed-looking people you so often meet are afflicted with “Kidney Complexion.” Their kidneys are turning to a parsnip color. So is their complexion They may also have indigestion, or suf fer from sleeplessness, rheumatism, neu ralgia, brain trouble, nervous exhaustion ana sometimes the heart acts badly. The cause is weak, unhealthy kidneys. Usually the sufferer from kidney disease does not find out what the trouble is until it is almost too late, because the first symptoms are so like mild sickness that they do not think they need a medicine or a doctor until they find themselves sick in bed. Dr. Kilmer’s Swamp-Root will build up and strengthen their weak and diseased kidneys, purify their diseased, kidney poisoned blood, dear their complexion and soon they will enjoy be ter health.
