GRANT’S FRIEND
DIED IN POVERTY
Was Famous Soldier and Phy
sician.
LONDON, Aug. 21.—There died in
poverty, in a dingy flat in squalid
Kensington Road iast week, br.
Orazio Lugo, once a famous American
citizen who fought with Grant and
Garibaldi. He assisted lxird Kelvin
in his telephone discoveries, superin
tended the laying of oi\& of the Atlan
tic cables, and was at one time a close
friend of former Ambassador Joseph
H. Choate, who always kept Lugo’s
photograph on his desk at the Embas
sy. He won by inventions several for
tunes,but lost them in commercial
ventures.
Lugo was born in 1829, in Venice.
His mother, the Countess Rovigo, was
a cousin of Cavour, the great states
man. A graduate of Padua, he achiev
ed an honorary degree in America by
his work on the optical nerve. He
served when only 18 in the first great
battle of ’39 at Santa Lucia. His
three brothers were killed at
ta and he himself was dangerously’
wounded at Solferino.
He went to America after the con
fiscation of his estates in Italy, with
a letter to Mr. Yznaga, grandfather of
Consuelo Vandebilt, the Duchess of
Marlborough. Subsequently he saved
Yznaga’s life in a squall on Lake
George. For a time Lugo was profes
sor of chemistry' in New York Univer
sity. He agitated for the right of
woman to become medical students.
Among his friends was Samuel liar
low, Charles A: Dana, William Cul
len Bryant and Thomas F. Bayard.
He called once at a hotel where
Genei al Grant was staying, and sent
in iiis card. Many politicians were
waiting in the lobby. The general
came out and taking Lugo by the arm
led him within.
“Gentlemen,” said Grant to those
in waiting,” “here is a man who
could ayways get anything from me
he wished, but who never asked me
for anything.” This was the keynote
of Lugo's character. He was per
sonally unselfish and quixotically dis
terested. Hence he died poor.

SIOO REWARD, SIOO.
't The readers of this paper will be
pleased to learn that there is at least
one dreaded disease that science has
been able to cure in all its stages, and
that is Catarrh. Hall's Catarrh Cure
is the only positive cure now known
1 to the medicinal fraternity. Catarrh
being a constitutional disease, re
requires a constitutional treatment.
Hall’s Catarrh Cure is taken internal
ly, acting directly upon the blood and
mucous surfaces of the system, there-
I by destroying the foundation of the
disease and giving the patient
strength by building up the constitu
tion and assisting nature in doing its
work. The proprietors have so much
faith in its curative powers that they
offer One Hundred Dollars for any
case that it fails to cure. Send for

LOCKER CLUBS
HAVE BEGUN
First In Augusta To Be Called
Merchants’ Club.
AUGUSTA, GA., August 21. —In the
clerk's office of the superior court
yesterday was filed the first petition
for a locker club in Augusta under
the new prohibition law.
Tlie club will pay to the city five
hundred dollars for a license and
will be called “The Merchant’s Club."
Louis Brooks, Esq., is attorney for
the petitioners.
The objects of the corporation as
set forth in the petition for a char
ter in part are as follows:
"The objects of said corporation
are to establish and maintain an or
ganization for the intellectual, moral
and social improvement of its mem
bers, the refinement of their taste,
and the development of good feeling
among them. In furtherance of these
objects it shall afford them opportuni
ties for literary and art cultivation
and rational- amusement. That it
will transact no business of any kind
for the purpose of making any profit,
directly or indirectly, for itself or its
members, and that the income from
any source whatsoever shall be ap
plied solely to defray the expenses of
the corporation.
The club will have no capital stock
and the only money that the petition
claimed will be actually paid in is
the initiation fee and dues for the
members.
Men Past Sixty In Danger.
More than half of mankind over
sixty' years of age suffer from kidney
and bladder disorders, usually en
largement of prostrate glands. This
is both painful and dangerous, and
Foley’s Kidney Cure should be taken
at the first sign of danger, as it cor
rects irregularities and has cured
many old men of this disease. Mr.
Rodney Burnett, Rockport, Mo., says:
“I suffered with enlarged prostrate
gland and kidney trouble for years
and after taking two bottles of Fol
ey’s Kidney Cure I feel better than
I have for twenty years, although I
am now 91 years old.” Sold by all
druggists. lm. “
P+CNIC IS GIVEN IN 4
HONOR OF MRS. WEBB
Aged Lady and Sixty Members
of Family in Reunion.
Quite an enjoyable occasion was
that a few days ago on the banks of
the Muckaloochee between Smithville
and Sumter, an annual reunion, as it
were, of the children, grand children
and great grandchildren of Mrs. A.
M. Webb.
She has seven sons and two daugh
ters living and every summer ‘‘the
boys” get together and arrange ofr
a 'fish fry and picnic, and all 1 the
decendants are notified to “be and
appear” at a certain place on a cer
tain day and have a good old time.
The men get tip the fish and the
women bring well filled baskets.
The grandmother is conveyed there,
and she enjoys it as much as any one
present. She is nearing her 80th
birthday and does not want any one
to hell) her in or out of her buggy.
There was about GO people present.
Every one was related. Two sons
were not present nor any member of
their families.
The Limit of Life.
The most eniment medical scien
tists are unanimous in the conclu
sion that the generally accepted lim
itation of the human life is many
years below that attainment possible
with the advanced knowledge of
which the race is now possessed. The
critical period, that determines its
duration, seems to be betwen 50
and 60; the proper care of the body
during this decade cannot be too
strongly urged; carelessness then be
ing fatal to longevity. Nature’s best
helper after 50 is Electric Bitters,
the scientific tonic medicine that revi
talizes every organ of the body. Guar
