R CH CORPORAL OUT
OF ARMY IN DISGRACE
Grandson of General is a
Failure as Soldier.
Washington, Oct. 31.—Orders issued
>y General Grant, commanding the Da
»artment of the East, received at the
A’ar Department today, announce the
onviction by court-marial of Corporal
tlbert J. Myer, who achieved a repu
ation in W 7 asiuiu:gton last winter as
he “millionaire society army corpor
-1.” Myers was tried by a genera)
ourt-martial at Fort Banks, Mas 3.
august 17 last, according to the an
auncement in the order, on charget
f absence without leave. He was con
icted and sentenced to be reduced tc
he grade of private, to be “confined ai
ard labor three months,” and to for
eit SSO of his pay.
Myers was at once given prison dut.
it Fort Banks and his term of ini
irisonment would have lasted unti
lovemiber 27 bad it not been that hi.
:eriod of enlistment expired a few
.’eeks ago and accordingly he was re
eased, being given a dishonorable dis
barge.
Frienda of young Myer in Washing
in consider this the end of his mil
:ary career. Myer is a grandson oi
:e late Brig.-Gen. Albert Myer, found
r of the Signal Corps, and for whon
’ort Myer, Va., was named. His fathe
s Colonel Myer, for many years iden
ified with the New York state .militia
For tbe past few iyears he .has been a
•esident of Boston.
The estate of the late General Myet
•vas estimated at nearly $1,000,000, em
)racing several mansions and apart
ment houses in Washington. General
Myer's old residence, at the corner of
1 street and Connecticut avenue, has
been purchased by the Army and Navy
Ji’Ub and is to give way to a large new
dub building. General Myer had a
arge number of heirs, so the share
whici.i fell to young Myer is far below
he SIOO,OOO mark. Although he is now
23 years of age, his share of the estate
Is being held in trust for him hy his
Bather.
Emulating Grandfather.
Corporal Myer wished to emulate the
military record of his grandfather and
obtained an appointment to West
Point. He failed on the entrance ex
imimtion. He was unable to obtain c
second designation before he reached
the maximum entrance age of 22
years.
In the meantime young Myer con
cluded to begin at the bottom and
work his way up from the ranks, as
iis granfather did. So he enlisted as
a private in tbe cavalry at New York.
Vo his grandfather founded the Signal
Corps of the army. Myer obtained a
transfer to .that branch. A year ago
he was sent to the Signal Corps sta
tion at Fort Myer, where he remained
until the ear’.y summer. In the mean
time he announced bis determination
to take the competitive examination for
appointment as second lieutenant. This
he took last spring and failed. The
failure was attributed by his friends
to too much “society.”
W’hile at the Virginia fort Myer i
found the enlisted man’s life too irk
some as compared with the free life
he had led in Boston. So, through
some of hi s grandfather’s friends, he
obtained entry to Washington society
last winter. In this way he managed
L -o be invited to a number of important
social functions, including a military
reception. Socially, Myer was simply
Mr. Myer, grandson of the famous gen
eral, and all went well until an officer
from Fort Myer discovered Corporal
Myer at the military reception. The
attendance of enlisted men at such
functions is contrary to army .social
usages. This put a quietus on Myer’s
social career.
After failing to get his army ap
pointment last spring Myer gave up
ill hope of a military life and aspired
to ! be a pay-master in the navy. There
were 'but five vacancies and Myer's
standing was sixth.

Here Is a Helping Hand—A Newton
Woman’s Experience.
You know just how it is yourself—
when you are tired out, perhaps a
little run down and hardly able to
drag around, life is a burden, you are
irritable, nervous, depressed and
every little task seems like a moun
tain.
Miss Katherine Burns, of New’ton,
Mass., says—“About six months ago
I was in a run-down condition and
my blood was very poor. I had taken
several medicines prescribed by phy
sicians, but they seemed to do me no
good. Finally Vinol was recommend
ed, and from the first bottle I noticed
a great improvement. I have taken
six bottles and I feel as well as ever,
and I would recommend Vinol to any
body needing a good tonic to build
them up and make them strong.” (We
guarantee this testimonial to l>e gen
uine.)
We want to ask eveny woman "who
finds herself in this condition to try
Vinol, our delicious cod liver and iron
tonic, without oil, with the under
standing that their money will be re
turned if it does not help them.
We know Vinol will create an ap
petite, aid digestion, make pure, rich
blood and in this way build up and
strengthen the run-down, overworked,
nervous system. You take no
'hances. Try it. Dodson’a Pharmacy,

Mrs. Hattie Cain of Carrsviiie

Carrsville, Ky. — I "My doctor,” writes
Mrs. Hattie Cain, “who advised me tc
take Cardui, for my troubles, is a mighty
fine doctor, and 1 say God bless Cardui

“Before 1 took Cardui, I suffered with
female troubles for sixteen years, i
would have to send for a doctor every
three month, and oh! how dreadfutly J
suffered!
“1 would cramp and have convulsions
and it looked like 1 would die. At last I
took Cardui and oh! what a surprise! I
found it was the medicine for me!
“From the first bottle, I began to mend
and now 1 am well, can do more work,
can walk and go where I please and if
don’t hurt me, and 1 owe it r’l to Cardui."
Cardui helps sick women back to
