<ome remarkable details of the ca
;Tl“'r“"' Ferdinand Linke, the “King
bt the Usurers,” who recently died in
\ienna, are given in the London
#\(Urning Leader from its correspoud
pt 1n the Austrian capital. Linke
F;‘,metoVienna from the ghetto of a
lprovincial town in Ualicia in the ear
’ly <ixties, and began a money-lending
pusiness on a small scale. His loans
were small, but the rate of interest he
charged was enormous, and he soon be
gan 1o accutaulate capital. In the
earlier part of his career he was con
(ent with from 60 to 80 or 100 per
-ent. interest, but as he grew older in
rascality he extorted as much as 400 to
500 per cent. from his foolish victims,
By these means he became a millions
aire. Lipke un_derwenb several terms
in the penitentiary for usury, but the
greed of gold always drove him back
{0 the illegal traffic in money. He liv
edalone, guarded by a number of sav
age bloodhounds. His doors and win
dows were b:}rred_an'd bolted, and his
ill gotten gains hid in different parts
of this house. Linke’s will has becn
made publi(.;. He has left all of his
wealth to his only daughter, whom he
s 0 neglected during bis lifetime that
she was obliged to undertake menial
work for three shillings a = week,
Linke, however, with the instinet of a
miser, attached a very characteristic
condition to the acceptance of his mag
nificent Jegacy that not a farthing of
it should at any time be applied to
any charitable purpose.
Deafness Cannot Be Cured
by local applications as they cabonot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one #ay to cure deafness,
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an inflamed con
dition of the mucous lining of the eus
tachian tube. When this tube is in
flamed you have a rumbling sound or
imperfect hearing, and when it is en
tirely closed deafness is the resule, and
unless the inflammation can be taken
out and this tube restored to its normal
condition hearing will be destroyed
forever: nine eases out of ten are caused
Ly catarh, which is nothing but an in
flamed condition of the muenus s irfaces.

A Queer Trick of Time.
The queer tricks that time plays bave
anew illustration in the close relations
existing between President McKinley
and Sepator Mark Hanna. One hundred
vears ago Captain Hanna of the British
aroy, grandfather of the senator, seized
Francis McKinley, grand uncle of the
president, at his home in Conagher,
Irelavd, and hurried him to Uoleraine,
where be was executed as a rebel. If
the shades of the British officer and the
Irish patrint, each true to his sense of
duty, could visit America today a pe
culiar surprise would be in store for
them. —Savannan News.

DISPENSARY IN CUTHBERT?
It Seems that Randolph Count, Has Not
Yet Settled the Liquor Question,
From the Cuthbert Leader.
The last issue of our neighbor, the
Liberal-Enterprise, contains a legal no
tice 'to the effect that a bill providing for
the establithment of a dispensary iu
Cuthbert will be introduced in the legis
lature.
This news comes in the nature of a
surprise to a majority of the citizens of
Randolph county. Who the author of
this bill is we have been unable to dis
cover,
Tha Leader takes the first opportunity
to declare that it opposes this measure,
for the following reasons :
1. We believe that the sale of whis
key is an evil, and we are oppised to
licensing eyils simply ,for the sake of
revenue,
2. To establish a dispensary in Cuth
bert just after the people of Randolph
county have said by ‘their votes that
they desire prohibition seems to us un
democratic. Why should not the majori
ty rule? Why saddle a dispeusary upon
the people when they have voted for
prohibition?
3. This matter will breed discord,
The recent prohibition election caused
much bitter feeling in this county, and
all the wounds made by the confl.ct have
not healed. Is it wise to tear open these
wounds?
We have other reasoms for our stand
on this question, but the ones given are
sufficient.

A True Caballero.
Well in the middle of the grounds
stands General Anderson’s headquar
ters. As we went up the steps a tall
man, rather shabbily dressed, preceded
us. We noticed his military bearing
and were told that he was the captain
of one of the Spanish men-of-war which
lies with projecting spars at the bottom
of Cavite harbor. Following his foot
steps, we of necessity overheard what
he said to the general’s aid:
““Senor, I borrowed, some time ago,
$2OO from Admiral Dewey to pay off
my men. I bave come to repay the
debt.”’
He turned his profile toward us, and
we noticed how thin he looked. He
must have starved himself to collect
the money. With a very straight back,
he counted out the Spanish bills and
turned to go.
“Will you not take a receipt?’’ asked
the aid of General Anderson.
“Never from an officer,’”’ answered
the gray haired old gentleman, with a
courtly old fashioned bow.

THE FARMER'S STORY.
How a Newspaper Reporter Interviewed Him and
Obtained an Interesting Article of News.
Wesley Holmes, of Milroy, Ind., was in
the depot waiting for his train, when a news
paper reporter addressed him. “O! you
have come to inquire about that little expe
rience of mine,” said he, in & pleasant man
ner. ‘‘Well, I guess it was no little or in
significant thing after all. Yes, I'll tell you
the complete storg; but I did not suppose it
would interest the public.
I have been a farmer all my life, and would
do nothinf else now, although a few years
ago I would have preferred an easier job.
“I 1 had good health all along, until this
pestilent grip came. In January of 92 I
was attacked with it and had a serious time.
At first I was merely confined to the house
for four or five days, with a severe cold
but I ached all over, and my limbs pained
me when I went about. Nomne of them were
severe—just dull achings, but I was not very
comfortable. The doctor came, examined
me and said I had the grip. He gave me
some medicine which I used and in a few
days I was able to be out.
*But a day or two after I was caught in a
rain, and the next morning I felt the same
as before, only the pains were worse. The
doctor gave me more of the same medicine, 1
and attended me for six weeks before I was
a dismissed patient. This time my trouble‘
took on a new form, there being a cold on my |
lungs. T was finally able to get outside the
house, but became worse again, and coull not
do any more work the remainder of the win
ter, being confined to the house most of the
time.
“When spring opened up and good
weather came I was better, but I always after
ward had those peculiar pains all over me,
and the next winter I went through with
almost the same experience. ‘Having the
grip again,” the doctor said, ‘“but the faet

each winter T had a relapse just about as soon

as the bad weather commenced. T kept get

would last longer. The third winter the
troublclz tookh on the more serious gal;mt:t

trouble with my lungs. I was not able to
do any work from the 10th of December to
the first of May, and half the time all sum
‘mer 1 was indiopond from my labors. I
tried another doctor, but he did me very lit
tle I‘good, and when the bad weather began
‘in November I was worse than ever.
“ A neighbor who had suffered from the
after effects of the i:ip as | had, advised me to
try Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills for Pale People.
I did not feel that they would do me any
good, but m{ wife urf:ed me to try them,
which I finally did. T remember I took the
first dose on Christmas day, 1895, | kept
taking the medicine until I “ad used two
boxes. By this time I had noticed no
change and would have quit discouraged
had it not been for my wife. She bought
more of the Epilla and I continued takin
them. And lam glad to-day that I di§
for when 1 had finished the next box I was
much better, and three more boxes cured
me. I took six boxes, altogether, taking
the last about the first of February, ’96. I
never had to take any more medicine, and
I am sure Dr. Williams’ Pink Pilla for Pale
People cured me of my trouble, and I cheer
fully recommend them to others.”
The power of Dr. Williams’ Pink %illl for
Pale People in the vast number of diseases
due to impure or poisoned blood, has been
demonstrated in thousands of instances as
remarkable as the one related above. These
ills build up the blood by supplying its
rife-giving elements which nourish the
various organs, stimulating them to activity
in the performance of their funetions and
thus drive disease from the evstem. No one
who is suffering can rightfully negleet this
way to restore health.
