'1 lb‘ jeweled swunl presented l,y
the Mulinrnjiili i.f Jaipur to King
Edward, encrusted with gems and
worth $50,000, is the most valna
sword given hvt hn Kgvptions to
Lord Wolseloy had that distinc
tion, hut, with its hilt set with
diamonds, it is worth only one
lifth as much ns the King’s. The
standard cost of a sword of honor
such as the city of London piv
reuled to Lord Roberts and Lord
Kitchener is $525. The sword the
American nation presented to Ad¬
miral Dewey is said to have cost
$10,000. The Shall of Persia has
a magnificent saber worth $50,000.
The only sword in the world molt
valuable is that belonging to the
Gackwar, or Maharajah, of Baro¬
ll;;, India. Its hilt, scabbard and
belt are massed with rubies, emer¬
alds and diamonds, the value of
which is estimated to he $1,100,
000.
Josh WYsthafer, of Loogooteo,
Inti., is a poor man, hut he says he
would not be without Chamber¬
lain's Pain Balm if it cost five
dollars a bottle, for it saved him
from being a cripple. No external
application is equal to this lini¬
ment for stiff and swollen joints,
contracted muscles, wLilf neck,
sprains and rheumatic and muscu¬
lar spains. It has also cured nu¬
merous cases of partial paralysis.

The I’roshlciit’s Narrow Escape.
The country held its breath a
moment yesterday when tho news
whs received over the wires that
the President had boon in an acci¬
dent and hud narrowly escaped
death. It was recalled that when
President McKinley was shot the
news was withheld from Wall
street until it could lie seen wheth¬
er it could not bo stated that the
shot was not an immediately fatal
one, so that business might not
receive such a shock us would start
a panic.
No doubt the announcement of
tin death of the President, sud¬
denly made, would have a very
disturbing effect upon speculative
values, and perhaps upon values
of all kinds. Just now there is a
noticeable stringency in money,
and the sudden death of the Presi¬
dent might prove to bo very disas¬
trous, particularly ns the question
lias been raised as to the constitu¬
tionality of the law which provides
for the succession. Thyre ought
to he no delay in settling that
question when Congress meets,and
if the law is unconstitutional it
should he amended as quickly ns
Fortunately the President es¬
caped with only scratches and
bruises. But one of the detectives
of the party was killed, and the
driver of the carriage may die
from the effects of his injuries.
It looks as if the laws against
running trolley cars at breakneck
sliced would have to be made more
stringet. There are incapable men
in charge of cars of this kind in
pretty nearly all parts of the coun¬
try, and tlm wonder is that there
are not more fatal trolley-car ac¬
cidents. There is undoubtedly a
feeding of deep gratitude that the
President escaped and that there
were not other fatalities.—Savan¬
nah Morning News.
A Certain Cure for Dysentery

“Someyears ago 1 was one of a
party that intended making a
bicycle trip,” says F. L. Taylor, of
New Albany, Bradfofd county, Ph.
“1 was taken suddenly with diar¬
rhoea, and was ubout to give up
the trip, when editor Ward, of the
Laceyville Messenger, suggested
that I take a dose of Chamber
Iain’s Colic, Cholera aud Diarrhoea
Remedy. 1 purchased a bottle and
took two doses, one before starting
and one ou the route. 1 made the

Tlic I’rlcc of Uotton.
The main reason probably why
the South is prosperous is that site
has been getting a good price for
cotton for several years. The mon¬
ey she lias been getting for this
crop has gone into industrial un¬
dertakings and lias contributed to
the opening of new farms.
A question therefore which pre¬
sents itself in this Connection.is,
what is the prospect for tho price
of cotton remaining about what it
is at present or going higher dur¬
ing this season?
It seems to us to he very good.
Tho world is consuming a great
deal more cotton than it did lie
tore the Spanish-American War.
'J’he consumption in this country
is increasing rapidly, and in the
Fur East it is much larger than it
was a few years ago. In this coun¬
try the better times have enabled
people to spend more for cot ton
goods.
According to excellent authori¬
ty the spinners’ takings during the
year just closed were close to, if
not quite 11,000,000 bales, while
the crop was less than 10,800,000
bales. The report of the New Or¬
leans Cotton Exchange shows that
the world’s visible supply at the
close of the last season was about
150,000 hales less than it was at
the close of the previous season.
Now whut about this yeur’sevop?
The estimates of course differ
widely. The Commissioners of
Agriculture of the Cotton States,
at their meeting at Nashville last
week, estimated that the crop
would be 9,719,394 hales. Other
plnco it as high as 11,
bales. The truth proba¬
bly is between these two extremes.
If tlie crop does not go over 10,-
500,000 the world’s demand, un¬
der existing conditions, will hard¬
ly be mot, and the present price
ought to be fully maintained. In
fact, it ought to go higher.
If indications of an 11,000,000
bale crop should become convinc¬
ing tho price might decline a little.
H business should continue pros
porous, however, the world could
easily take an 11,000,000 hale crop
at the present price, and there are
reasons for thinking it would
so.—Savannah Morning News.

Fearful Wreck on Southern.
Birmingham, Ala., Sept. 2.—
While rounding a curve on a high
embankment near Berry, Ala., yes
terduy morning the engine and
four cars on an excursion train on
tlie Southern railway leaped from
the truck and rolled over and over,
smashing the coaches into kind
ling wood and cuusing the instant
death of 30 persons and the injury
of 81 others. Physicians say, at
least 29 of the injured cannot live.
Krti|i|i and his Workmen.
Last Easter day Herr von Krupp
was returning in a carriage from
church will) his two young dough*
DTK. Oiih nf ihcin had jusi boon
, (inliniD‘d and Imtli were dressed
in white, making a pretty picture,
Tin* inhabitants of tho town of
lessen, nearly every one of which
is dependent upon 1 lie Krupp pay
clerk, stopped and admired the
while von Krupp smil'd
good naluredly us though proud
of his two slender, tall and pretty
daughters. Suddenly there was a
commotion. The horses shied to
one side as a man sprang out to¬
ward the carriage. He • was in
coarse garb and hurled an object
into the vehicle There were shrieks
and general consternation. But
nothing happened except that von
Krupp was seen to pick up the ob¬
ject cast into the carriage, which
happened to be a roll of paper and
an appeal to the chief from a num¬
ber of working men to have
consideration for their grievances.
Herr von Krupp had just re¬
turned with his yacht from Capri,
where lie spends from four to six
months annually. While there he
had not received any inkling of
labor troubles at the works, al¬
though it looked now ns though
such an alternative would be un¬
avoidable judging from the claims
set forth in the appeal.
On the following morning a
messenger came to the works from
the palatial Villa Huegel, where
Herr von Krupp resides when in
Essen. He gathered half a dozen
employes together, hard-handed
and brawny fellows. The messen¬
ger informed them that their em¬
ployer wanted to hear an account
of the differences directly from
the mouths of the workingmen.
They were not given time to wash
and make themselves presentable,
but entered the reception room of
Villa Huegel with their leather
aprons and swarthy visages. Then
followed a frank discussion of the
issues involved while von Krupp
put all at ease by his democratic,
blunt manner, and by his assur¬
ances that their claims would be
duly considered. A few days later
changes were introduced in accor¬
dance with the claims of tho em¬
ployes and a strike averted, while
in the evening there were public
demonstrations about Villa Huegel
and von Krupp was finnlly obliged
to come out upon the- veranda
and bow his acknoweldgemeuts.—

I’nlace of Transportation.
World’s Fair Grounds, St. Louis,
Sept. 1.—The transportation build¬
ing, lirst structure to he produced
by th(> department of agricultural
design of the Louisiana Purchase
Exposition, allows an estimate to
bo made of the capacity of that
department. Mr. E. L. Masqueray,
chief of design, is the architect.
The structure is to be one of the
largest of the exhibit buildings in
the main picture. It will be 1,300
by 525 feet and will cover an area
of 15.6 acres.
This building will house the
transportation exhibits which will
include every possible vehicle for
transportation on land, on sea, or
in air, from baby carriages to bat
tleships. Four miles of standard
gauge railroad track within the
building will be supplied on which
will be shown the engines and roll
ing stock that run on rails. In
addition to this, a floor space of
213,918 square feet will be set
aside for vehicles and one of 91,
square feet for vessels.
In the facades of the building
the designer has supplied a bappv
combination of the accepted form
of a railroad station, with its great
semi-circular arch ways, and
the ornate exposition building,
with its lavish use of sculpture
and tower features. Tho ingin
motif of the building on all four
facades is a series of three mag
uificeut semi-circular archways,
64 feet in span and 52 feet high,

Pains, aches and rheu¬

Kidney trouble causes quick or unsteady

the archways, great pylons crown¬
ed by a soaring statue tower 150
feet in the air. On the longer
fronts massive piers at intervals
replace the pylons. The architect
lias supplied on the longer front u
series of square window openings
of majestic proportions which car¬
ry out the idea of a depot building
and admit ample light without the
necessity of resorting to skylights,
monitor lights or clear stories.
Access is supplied to the building
not only through the twelve great
portals mentioned but through
subsidiary entrances close togeth¬
er along the facades.
“The architect’s first effort should
bo to make his building serve the
purpose for which it is intended,”
says Chief Designer Masqueray.
“A light interior and the easy cir¬
culation of crowds arc our prime
essentials.”
The building has no inner court,
It. is different m this respect from
many of the other big exhibit
buildings, in the transportation
building the architect depends
chiefly for his effects on the archi¬
tectural disposition of musses but
he does not ignore sculpture. Six¬
teen groups of statuary, to sym¬
bolize transportation in all its
stages, of progress, are provided
for. ' The interior is spanned by
five bays of trusses of uniform de¬
sign which will greatly simplify
tho construction.
