wasting process, and leaves uo injurious
results. This Is why it Is more highly
esteemed than any other pulmotiury
specific.
L. D. Bixby, of Bartonsvllle, Vt.,
writes: "Four years ago I took a se
vere cold, which was followed by a
terrible cough. I was very sick, and
confined to my lied about four months.
My physician finally said I was in con
sumption, and that lie could not help
me. One of my neighbors advised me
to try Ayer’s Cherry Pectoral. I did so,
and lieforo I had taken half a bottle was
able to go out. Ify tlio time I bad
finished the hottio I was well, and have
remained so ever since.”
Alonso P. Daggett, of Smyrna Mills,
Me., writes : " Six years ago I was a trav
eling salesman, and at that time was
suffering with
Lung Trouble.
For months I was unable to rest nights.
I could seldom iio down, lmd frequent
choking spells, and was often com
pelled to seek the open air for relief.
I was induced to try Ayer’s Cherry

believe, sa«rcd my life.”

Mrs. Arp's Superstitions—9ut an sign* Fail in Dry
Weather and Wet Too-William's Experience
With a Fortune Teller-Whet II© Taint*
of Palmistry and Kindred Doric Arts.
Mrs. Arp knows all the signs. She docs not
believe in them, of course, for they havo fooled
her too often, but somehow when tho sign be
tokens good it seems to cheer her up. and she
sin;s around more happily. 1 sneezed this
morning most heartily, and sho said: ‘‘There,
now, there Is a conjunction of aigns. My nos
itches and the game rooster crowed awhile ago
on the front steps. Somehow I can't help
looking for one of the hoys. I wouldn't be sur
prised if wo have one of them to supper to
night,” and she has been flying around all day
fixing up things a little better. Poor woman!
I am tarry for her, and sorry for myself, too.
Her older boys arc scattered now, and some of
them wc rarely see. It costs money to come,
aud time is precious, aud business is exacting,
and so we have to take comfort with their
letters and try to bo content. It ii hard on tho
mothers, very hard; and there should be a
heaven for the rcuniou of families if for noth-
more.
;ut all signs fail in dry weather and wet
weather too, and my opinion is that the nose
knows nothing about it, nor the rooster cither,
for tho hoy dldent come, and Mrs. Aro has been
reading some magazine stories ever since sho
washed tho dishes. I don't believe she is alto
gether out of yope yet, for a little while ago
she said “hush” to the children aud turned her
car towards tho front gate as if she heard some
thing. 1 wish she was rich so that she could
go when she pleased and see her children and
take me along to wait on her.
How tlicso little superstitious do brood over
i. When I was a boy in my teens and beg-tn
to notice tho girls on tho sly I was persuaded
to go out in tho country a little way and sco
an old woman who was a fortune teller. .Sho
was a clever old crouo and Jived in a hut all
alone, Fortune telling was her living, for
she had in her youth lived with tho gypsies
and learned their mysterious arts. Site was
very old and very smart, and always gave
tho young people good fortunes—some good
aud seiue tatter, but uone very bad. Sho had
l«rk of old gypHylcards that had no jack nor
queen nor king, but in their placc3 w« ro c inls
with spots olovon, twelye aud thirteen. With
these the pack numbered 301 spots, and she
counted tho ace of spades a* 2, so .13 to
make 3G5, which corresponded with tho
number of days in the yoar. All
•arda were spotted this way for a long time
ifter they were invented, for their use at first
was to fell fortunes. Tho Brahmins of India
invented them, and when thoy came to be used
fortpoit and gAnics, and became popular in
other countries, King Henry the 7tfi prohibit
ed their importation and licensed his own peo
ple to make them, and he had the pictures put
on threo cards of each suit, and had tho aco of
•silca itamni-d with a rovenue mark of two
lilliugs. lie sold these aces to the dealers,
ue for each pack, and in that w;»y made
lonc v for tho government. That is wl
ace vf spades has something on it that
liken rovonuostamp. Tho nobility all play
ed cards, and when tho king of Scotland came
courting Margaret, King Henry’s daughter,
they played‘‘cearto.” and the stako washer
hand aud heart, and ho won.
the old woman put 011 her spectacles and
made me kneel by her side and glvo her my
loft baud and she looked at it long and care
fully, and then shufiicd the old greasy deck
and said: "Your birthday, my child; tell me
dav and the mouth and tho
.” When I nnswored, aho said
Good, my child; Juno is a liuky month,
vnd the fifteenth day is the middle of it.”
Then sho ejected somo cards and counted
their spot* and looked in tho palm of my hand
planets and stopped at Venus and avid, *‘Yi
will.marry dark eyes aud darken hair.” Thou
she poured aomocofleo in a saucer and watch
ed it settle. "I see,” said she, "some children
playing round. Yon will live to be old, very
old, hut your wifo will out live you. I soo a
widow in. mourning. 1 sec grand children and
great grandchildren now.” Then she named
over the Manets ugnin and stopped at Mar*.
“You will sco a war, my child—a terrible
war, for I sco a field of bloal,” Then sho
nmlucd my finger nails and found aomo small
whito spots, ami said: ".Sweethearts, three
swee thearts; hut the last is the best. You will
umrryherand be happy.” When aho seemed
to !>c throui *
riches, wotil
vigorously and said, "No, not rich, but you will
have enough if ”
work for it, my
I gave her a silver quarter, aud wo left her
alouo in her hermitage. Wo laughod at her
predictions and made light of them, hut they
left their mark, and tho shallow of it is still
over me at times, for she guessed well.
Fortuno telling has passed away now. I do
not know a professor of the hidden art nor
even an aiuatuer professor. The Gypsies came
along sometimes, but nobody cares aud but
lew go to them. Tho timo was when it was
held In great esteem. Chiromancy or the art
of divining destiny byjtho linos In the hand had
believers and followers among the great and
the learned. Roger Bacon, the mast eminent
philosopher of his time, was profoundly ab
sorbed in it. Aristottle and Pytha-
f loras wrote learned treaties upon
t and gave it dignity and importance.
There are four principal lines—tho Hue of life,
of health, of fortune ami happiness. There
are tunny others that cross these at various an
gles and nil havo their significance. There aro
seven mountains on the palm ami they are
named for the seven planets. Tlicso so-called
mountains are tho elevations at tho base of the
thumb and fingers and lower side of tho hand.
No two palms are alike in their lines. In most
of them there is au M plainly visible. The
lino of life begins near tho basis of the fore
finger and circles round the base of the thumb
the line of health begins at the same point,
ami goes across tho center of tho hand. Tho
lino of fortune is nearly parallel to that, hut
nearer the fingers. The line of happiness is
the fold that goes from the second finger to
the wrist. These lines may bo clear and deep,
ami unbroken, and iudicate a perfect character;
or they may be faint or crooked, or tangled up
with crow lines, and forebode evil. Every in
tervening line has a meaning. The ancients
Indieved that all actions, passions aud thoughts
have their traces 011 the baud, aud from its
aba]*. furrows, folds, colors, veins, and finger
nails can ho tohl the person's habits, anil
the tcndencicH of his nature. They said
the hand was the most cunniug and tho heat
finished w ork of the Creator. The more per
fect and beautiful tho hand tho more refined
aud angelic the mind ami hear: of the owner.
It fe sufficient, however, to tell the young
folks thut if there Is no short line between the
base of the little finger and the lower end of
Hue of fortune they will never get married.
If there arc more than one of these they will
be married more than once, Then* is but one
in mine, and the old fortune-teller knew it,
and ro l am content.
ltut tho young folks need not lie alarmed, for
these signs aro just about os good aud as true
as throwing tho apple peel over the left shout-
der for your sweetheart's name. If you want
the lines of yonr'hand to lie deep and strong
you must work for It, It Is work that fur-
rows the palm aui deepens the lines, and so it
is work that brings health and fortune and
content. I had rnthor shake a working hand,
however rough, than a soft, velvety one, how
ever handsome. Well, of course, that depends
upon the sex—of course it does. J udge Wright
grows eloquent over the “ horny-handed
eons of toil,” hut 1 never heard him say any
thing about the horny-handed daughton of
toil. It tokea something more than the hand
to tell what a nan is or a woman either Rill
<Rsmey used to my, "You can't* tell anything
about a woman uutil you see her walk,” but to
my nind the human face is the highest and
beat evidence of human character. The eye,
the forehead, the noee, the mouth, the lips, the
chin, will hardly deceive you.

purpose and lines of care and trouble and sor
row. They too tell their own tale and mark
tho man. It is not the lines in the hand that

there was a shrewd old doctor called in to sec
a patient who liad been long sick and nobody
could tell what was the matter with him. He
had no appetite and what food ho cat did not
agree with him and so tho old doctor edited
for an ax and a glmlet'and he bored a hole in
the ax handle and poured a few
drops of very precious oil
the hole and plugged it up tight
and told his patient that the oil would be ab-
soiled in!o the wood and would go from the
wood into the palms of his hands, and from
there into bis system and euro him if he would

NOMINATIONS OF SENATORS.
Albany, N. Y. # January 17.—The democrat
ic members of the legislature met i n caucui to
night and nominated Smith M. Weed, of Clin*
tt n, for United States senator on the first bal-
ot
A LOAN v, N. Y., January 17.—The republican
legislative caucus met in the assembly chamber
this evening. The great hall wai packed with
people. The full republican strength is D4, and
there were three absentees. An effort was
made to adopt a resolution that a majority of
those present should be sufficient to nominate,
but an amendment requiring a clear majority
of all entitled to vote—that is 18—was carried
after a vigorous debate, by 32 against 3D, the
Morton and Hiscock men generally voting in
favor, and tho supporters of Miller against it.
Tho first ballot resulted: MUlor 41, Morton
33, Hiscock 12. The second ballot resulted:
Miller M, Morton 38, Hiscock 11.
A motion to adjourn was made. It was (tar
ried by a vote of 4H ayes, to 43 noea. The
caucus then adjourned until 8 o'clock tomor*
row evening.
Boston, January 17.—Democratic legislative
caucus has nominated Patrick A. Collins for
senator.
Lincoln, Neb., January 17>-Tho senatorial
situation tonight is decidedly mixed, although
balloting will begin tomorrow. The strugglo
is between straight republicans, YanWyck’s
adherents and tho democrats. Thero aro 133
members of the legislature, aud of these the
straight republicans claim that sixty-two have
signed the caucus call. Tho democrats have
thirty-eight members, and the YanWyckers
claim the votes of forty-two republicans, leav
ing a discrepancy often votes. The VanWyck-
era also claim tocoiitrol twenty-fivo demo
cratic votes, which would give YanWyck a ma
jority. The democrats however deny this, and
ssy that at least twenty-fivo democrats will
stand by MeShare. There are some Yan
Wyck democrats, and the republicans claim to
l>e able to command enough of tbeso after the
first ballot to o'cct their nominee. They havo
not yet held a caucus, and it Is understood they
will not do so until after the first ballot in
joint convention, when the strength of the
candidates will be definitely known. Among
the straight republicans there are half a dozen
candidates in the field.
Nashville, Tenn., January 17.—[Special.]
The caucus met again tonight. But four bal
lots were taken withont material change in
the result. The most notable change was the
in by Marks and the loss by Bate on one
llot, making Marks 27. After nn ineffectual
effort to rescind the resolution requiring (77
members to be present to cflcct a nomination,

Albany, N. Y.. January ID.—The first bal
lot this evening, which was the fifth, counting
from Monday, resulted ns follows: Miller 40;
Morton 38; Hiscock 11. The sixth, seventh,
eighth, uluth, tenth, elcvcutb, twelfth, thir
teenth, fourteenth, fifteen and sixteenth bal
lots resulted the same. Ex-Spoaker of A worn-
bly Erwin then withdrew tho name of Levi P.
Morton. This was quite u surprise, Erwin's
-l>ecch being listened to with profound attention
and defen nee. The seventeenth ballot re
sulted as follows: Miller 48, Hiscock 47. By
agreement it required 48 votes to nominate in
any event. These were forthcoming on tho
eighteenth ballot, when Assemblyman Frost,
his vote from
then made the
unanimous nominee, on motion of Speaker
llu:>tcd, secouded by Senator Sloan.
Boston, January ID.—The legislature met
in joint session at noon today and resumed
bnllotting for United States senator. The first
ballot reMiltcd ns follows: Dawes 7d. Long 33,
Bobiusou 53, Collins D2, scattering 1; absent I.
The proposal for a protracted tight led the
democrats to ebango their tactics after the first
ballot and on the second, eight Collins meu
cast their votes for Dawes, thus securing his
elcection. Twenty-eight Long men also de
serted their standard bearer. Thevote stood—
Dawes 181. Long23, Collins II, Bobinson38
aud Bussell 1. „ ,
Trenton, N. J., January 19.—Ono of- the
contests in the assembly waa today disposed
of by seating Walter (democratic contestant).
It was not accomplished without a great deal
of wraugliug and violent language. The ar-
sctnhlv, after being in an almost constant par
tisan wrangle for five houra, ad journed this
afternoon for a week. With Walters’s vote,
the democrats now have 31 votes out of 8) In
the house, aud their nine votes in the senate
gives them forty in all for the United States
senatonhlp. This is one short of the number
necessary to elect. They expect to get t he need
ed one from the labor contingent. Hardly, how-
ever, had the democrat* begun to rejoice
over their victory in seating Walters before a
new trouble arose. McDermott, democrat,
moved to declare the speakership vacant. HU
colleagues thought this unwise and a motion to
table was carried, to 8peaker Baird a great re
lief. McDermott wildly declared that ho
would not now vote with the ddmocrata for
senator. It is not thought, however, that he
will persist in this hastily formed resolution.
Tho senate will meet tomorrow afternoon,
when adjournment w ithout organisation will
probably take place as usual.

CHARGED WITH MURDER.
Clarkesville, Ga., January 22.—[Special.]
T. C. Justice, of Towns county, was lodgod in
jail at this place by Sheriff i lari den, under
charge of murdering J. B. Goddard. Thesher-
iff’s statements are as follows, taken from tho
evidence before the coroner’s jury:
J. ('. Coward testified that there arc two
fielda belonging to Justice. Justice saw God
dard crossing one of them. Ho said to Coward:
"Go with me to the sheep ranch.”
So he took down his gun and started, but in
stead of going thore, he went in below where
Gcddard was crossing, and on his way he said:
"See the old fellow looking round. 1 think ho
bad better wear glosses before ho looks for my
Mil), but I will make him look through adouble
gun.”
Cowaid did not think about his intentions,
so ho stopped Goddard aud says: "I will kill
vou.” Goddard begged for mercy, and Coward
begged for him, but still Justice shot him
twice, in tho head and arm. Not aatiaflod with
that, he beat his head badly with his gun, till
it was broken. Ho then used a rook for some
time, breaking the left arm and skull. Coward
was not allowed to interfere for fear of Justice,
who threatened him, and afterwards told him
if he ever revealed hi* act ho would
kill him. Justice was covered with
blood when ho returned, and before
reaching Ills home hid the broken gun
one hundred yards from where tho murder
took place. Fifteen witnesses testify that he
lmd threatened Goddard for an old grudge, and
for fear he would rei>ort him for stilling. The
killing took place about .twelve o’clock In the
day, and tho body was discovered by J. P. and
David Parker, fifteen miles from Hiawassee, on
the Tallulah river. The arrest waa made be
fore a warrant waa issued, and as soon as ono
could bo obtalued and
regular trial was held.
A verdict was found for premeditated mur
der. Goddard was seventy years of age and
had no family Irat liis wife. He was a man in
good standing. Justice has a wifo ami threo
children, and is classed as a stiller. He is a
man of good sense. He has one arm, and with
that exception Is a man of powerful strength.
Mrs. Gcdaard claims that her husband had on
bis poison five dollars ami forty-five cents in
money, which was gone wheu thoy foand
him.
The prisoner, on being interviewed denied
the charge, and soys ho had threatened to kill
Gcddard if he reported him and that waa as for
as he acknowledged.
Five Men Murder a Revenue Informer In
• Dawson County.
Canton, Ga, January 22.—[Special.]—
Reliable intelligence reached Canton today, to
the (fleet that on last Wednesday night, a
party of five men in ambush, fired upon Mr.
Andy Howard, of Yellowstone creek, in Daw
son county, near the residence of J. A. Heard.
One of the five shots took effect in the 1 eg,
making nn ugly but not painful flesh wound.
The parties having emptied their guns with
out death resulting, then rushed upon Howard
and stamped him so badly that his bowels pro
truded and death ensued in about twenty-four
hours.
Uqward had been a revenue informer and was
then a witness in the United States court
ngaiufrt several of his neighbors, and suspicion
rests against certain parties in the neighbor
hood who have been engaged in blockading as
the guilty ones.
A party of disguised men fell npon another
revenue informer in tho district, and cut him
up very badly, but ho is still living. The par
ties raid then they intended killing Howard,
and Wednesday succencd in doing it. How
ard was a very poor man, about thirty-five
yean of age, nnd had a family of six children,
all under eleven years of ago, all of whom ho
gave to bis neighbors fust before hi* death.
His wife died about nine month*ago.

is positively the best of any which I have ever
taken myself or ordered for my patients.”—Opinion
