Last fall I was taken with a kind o
summer complaint, accompanied with a
wonderful diarrhoea. Soon after my
wife’s sister, who lives with us, was ta
ken in..the same way. We used almost
everything without benefit. Then I said
let us try Chamberlain’s Colic, Cholera
and Diarrluca Remedy, which we did,
and that cured us right away. I think
much of it, as it did for me what it was
recommended to do. John Hertzlcr,

Artful Arnold.
Atlanta, Dec. 2G.—There are
more developments in the Charles
Arnold case, the popular Atlantian
who died after four day’s illuess two
weeks ago, and after whose death it'
was discovered that he was a de
faulter to al! the companies he was
treasurer of.
It now turns out that eight years
ago Arnold was teller of a private
banking house in Chicago and was
convicted of embazzling 84,200. He
was sentenced to four years in the
Joliet penitentiary.
After Arnold’s release there, he
came to Atlanta and got the confi
dence of the business men. A guar
antee company was on bis bond and
had to pay bis shortage to the Chi
cago bank. The compauy notified
their agent here,who was Hon. Amos
Fox, now postmaster of Atlanta, to
get certain information. Arnold
confessed to Fox that he was a con
vict, but said that he intended lead
ing a new life and exacted a promise
of Fox to keep the secret Fox did
so until to-day, after Arnold’s defal
cations were made public. Arnofd
has a wife and a married daughter
here. His wife is a paralytic.

Democrats Must Unite.
Any democratic dissension over
the Wilsou bill will prove a greater
menace to its success than republican
opposition. With thc democrats
united the bill can U e passed without
unnecessary delay. But if any con
siderable number stand Out for the
local interest of their respective dis
tricts the effects may be to delay, if
not defeat, the passage of the bill.
This may prove disastrous both to
country and the democrats.
On the success of tariff revision de
pends the success of the democratic
party. The people have called it to
power to revise the tariff, and if it
fails or long delays to do so the result
will be prolonged business depres
sion and hard times for which the
democrats will be held responsible.
. Hence, to say nothing of patriot
ism, good politics demands that the
democrats iu congress shall r ise above
local considerations and unite on the
measure deemed best for the country
and the party. They should unite
not only to pass the bill, but to -pass
it without needless delay. To avoid
delay is second in importance only to
averting defeat of the measure. Bus
iness must continue to be disturbed
until it is known what changes are to
be made m customs duties. The
sooner that is now known the sooner
will come the dawn of prosperity.
Booth as Billposter.
One story of Booth’s trip to the Sand
wich Islands remains with me. He had
gone there in 1854 in company with I is
comrade, Mr. David C. Anderson, en
‘route to Australia, and they were to play
in the Royal Hawaiian theater. They
had hired a native to paste up the bills
announcing the performance. This had
to be done- with a preparation named
“poe-poe,” made from a vegetable called
“tara-tara,” whiclws a iftvorete food in
Honolulu, but the poor man was sohuri- •
gry that yielding to temptation he in
continently ate uplhc paste, and to their
surprise no bills appeared. When the
reason was ascertainsd, they feared to
trust another native, and it was there
fore agreed that as Booth was thc young
er he should act as billpo&ter, and it
came to pass that every night alter thc '
performance Edwin went about the city
with his play bills and bucket of paste
and put up with his own hands the
posters announcing what the company
would play on the following night. And
he assured me that he did this houestlv
and did not eat any of the paste!—Wil
liam Bispham in Century.
