k DRUGGIST’S MISTAKE.
A Sick Man's Wife Disn irards the Druggist's Ad
vice and so Saves the Life of Her Husband.
I am a wood i arver by trade and it is out
of my line to write letters, but my wife
thought it was no more th in right t'.iat 1
Should let you know what your remedy has
done for me, and I think so too.
i I live in East 157th street, west of Third
avenue, and have lived there for about
twenty-three years, where I own real estate.
Up to the time I am about to mention I had
been a strong, well man. There was always
snore or less malaria in the neighborhood,
but I had not personally suffered from it. It
Was in 1880 I had my lirst attack. It came
on as sueh attacks commonly do, within ad
aches, loss of appetite and ambition, chilly
sensations with slight fever afterwards, a
disposition to yawn and stretch, and so
forth. I was employed at that time at Kil
lians & Brothers, furniture manufacturers,
in West 32d street. I hoped the attack
would wear off, but as it didn’t I consulted
a well-known and able physician in Morris
ania, who gave me quinine and told me what
to do. I can sum up Ihe first four and a half
or five years of my exp :i ice in few words.
Occasionally I was laid up for a day or two,
hut on the whole I stuck to my work. I kept
taking quinine, in larger doses from year to
year, and kept on getting weaker and worse,
slowly but surely, all the time. My trouble
Was now well defined and its symptoms were
Steady and regular. I had dumb ague in its
worst form, and it was grinding me down in
spite of all that I could do or the doctors
could do. It held me in a grip like fire in a
burning coal mine. The poison had gone all
through and over me and nothing was able
to touch it. I was fast losing flesh and
strength, and about March, 1884,1 knocked
off w ork entirely and went home to be down
sick, and to die for all I could tell. I ran
down so rapidly that I soon became unable
to walk any distance. Later I went from
room to room in my own house only by
friends holding me up by each arm. The
doses of quinine were increased until I often
took thirty grains at a dose. The effects
of this tremendous stimulation was to make
sue nearly wild. It broke my sleep all up,
and I often walked the floor, or staggered
about it, all night long, scarcely able to bear
any noises or even human speech. My tem
per was extremely irritable. As to food, one
of my little children would eat more in a
Sneal than I could in a day. I would order
food and then turn from it in disgust. I
lived on quinine and other stimulants and
on myself, like a bear in winter. The quin
ine set my head in a whirl, and the liquor—
given as a medicine—made my stomach so
sick I could not tolerate it.
From 175 pounds (my proper weight) I
ran down to 97 pounds—the weight of a
light girl—and was scarcely better than a
Skeleton.
. If anybody had taken a hatchet and
knocked me down and killed me I should
have been better off.
During the latter part of this period, early
in 1886, my physician said: “Miller, there’s
no use in my taking any more money of you,
I can’t do you any good. I might pour
pounds of quinine down your throat aud it
■Wouldn’t help you.”
On the strength of this I gave up the use
of quinine altogether, and made up my mind
to do nothing more and take my chances.
Three w eeks afterwards —about the last of
May—my wife saw an advertisement of Kas
kine in a New York paper. She told me of
it. I said: “Stuff and nonsense! it can’t
do me any good.” But she went to a drug
gist’s, nevertheless, to get it. The druggist
advised her against Kaskine; he said it was
nothing but sugar; that she ought not to
throw- away her money on it, &c. lie said
be didn’t keep it, but could get it if she in
sisted on having it. Turning away in dis
gust my wife spoke to our neighbor, Mr. A.
G. Ilegewald, who got her a bottle at a drug
Store in Sixth avenue.
Almost against my will, and without the
least faith, I began taking it. In one week
I was better. I began to sleep. I stopped
“seeing ghosts.” I began to have an appe
tite and to gain strength. This was now the
first of June, ISB6, and by the end of that
month I was back at my bench at C. P.
Smith’s scroll sawing factory in 116th street,
where I work now.
Since then I have never lost a day from
sickness. Taking Kaskine. only, about forty
pellets in four equal doses a day, I continu
ed to gain. The malaria appeared to be
killed in my system, and now I’ve got back
my old weight—l7s pounds—and my old
Strength to labor. lam an astonishment to
myself and to my friends, and if Kaskine
did not do this I don’t know what did. The
only greater thing it could do would be to
bring a dead man to life.

the facts: Mr. Alexander Weir, 626 156th

John Renshaw, 124 125th street, and many
others. I will also reply to letters of inquiry.
We submit that the above astonishing
cure, vouched for as it is by repul able men,
is deserving of a thorough and candid inves
tigation by thinking people. And we fur
ther submit that when druggists turn away
customers by falsifying the character of a
remedy because th- y do not happen to have
it on hand, they do a great wrong. If this
afflicted man had not disregarded the drug
gist's advice and scut elsewhere for the
remedy he would without doubt have been
in his grave.
Other letters of a similar character from
prominent individuals, which stamp Kaskine
as a remedy of unflottb; • I merit, will be sent
on application. Price fcl.oo, or six bottles

OVER THE OCEAN.
A Horrible Disaster at Exeter,
England.
ONE HUNDRED AND FIFTY LIVES LOST
London, September 5.—A theater nt Excte
took fire this evening during a performance of
“Romany Rye.” The occupants of the pit,
after an awful struggle, escaped, but many- of
them wore greatly injured. There was only
one exit from the gallery, and the rush there
was terrific. Scores were trodden under foot
and suffocated. Fire escapes were brought to
the window and many inside were rescued.
Sixty corpses have been removed. The in
jured survivors were sent to the hospital. The
mortality is estimated at 100.
The structure burned was the Th eater Royal.
It was built after the latest designs, and was
elaborately fitted, being considered one of the
prettiest in the kingdom. There was a full
house tonight, and everything was all right
until the end of the third act, at half-past ten,
when a drop scene fell and in a moment the
whole stage was
A MASS OF FIRE.
Wild panic ensued. Occupants of the stalls,
pit and dress circle escaped after a dreadful
crushing, many being badly bruised. The ac
tors and actresses were in their dressing rooms
when the lire began and all escaped. The fire
originated in the flies and spread rapidly,
filling the theater with a dense smoke. Oc
cupants of the upper circle and gallery rushed
to|t he windows screaming frantically and many
jumped from the windows and were injured
and others were rescued the aid of lad
ders from tire verandas. Tho fire blazed
fiercely, lighting up tho whole city. People
were seen flocking to tho scene in thousands,
inquiring tor friends.
The scene inside tho theater when the fire
broke out was an awful one. Some men im
plored the audience to be cool, but it was im
possible to check the frantic rush. The thea
ter hose was brought into use in a few minutes,
but the water had little effect on tho flames.
Tho actors and actresses were taken from win
dows with the aid of ladders. They lost every
thing except what they wore at the time. Up
to tho present time
ONE HUNDRED AND THIRTY BODIES
have been recovered. They are almost unre
cognizable. Thirty injured survivors have been
taken to the hospitals. Fire burned through
out the night. Search for the bodies proceeds
slowly. In many cases every shred of clothing
is burned off and tho bodies look
black and raw. There are various
reports as to the origin of the fire. It is only
certain that the Haines broke out in the scene
shifters’ department. The fire brigade arrived,
five minutes after the breaking out of the
flames, but the efforts of the firemen were
without effect. There were several thrilling
rescues. A majority of tho victims were men
and boys. About thirty women were burned.
When the tiro started a drop secnewas low
ered to prevent the draught. Some of the
actors opened a door to escape, causing the fire
to burst through the drop scene and to ignite
the gallery. The flames overtook people who
were wedged in an immovable mass and
ROASTED THEM TO DEATH,
and many who were rescued alive died soon
after being brought out of the burning build
ing. The occupants of the dress circle escaped
without serious harm.
London, September 6.—A telegram from
Exeter at 5 o’clock this morning, says that
the fire is under control. Only the walls of
the structure are standing. People, distracted
with anxiety, are wandering about the streets
in the neighborhood of the t heater in search
of friends, who attended last night’s perform
ance. The hospitals are besieged by anxious
inquirers for friends. Twenty badly burned
persons, who were admitted to the hospitals,
died a few moments after they were received.
The stairway leading to the gallery
was literally packcdwith bodies, while
at the head of the stairs there were
scores of others piled one on top of
other unfortunate victims who had’ rushed to
the door when tho alarm was given, but found
the stairway blocked and all means of escape
cut off. In a short time the flames had reached
them, and they suffered a horrible death.
In many cases father and mother
both perished, and numerous children
are thus left without means of sup
port. Several of the bodies were burned so
that only a small cinder remained. The num
ber of persons severely injured is sixty.
Two stalls of a stable belonging
to a hotel adjacent to tho theater
are filled with remains that it has been iin
impossible to identify. Most of the killed were
adults and chiefly men. But few children
perished. A mother, father and
child were found clasped in one embrace. All
three had been burned to death. In nearly
every case the clothing had been torn off the
victims. From many of the bodies limbs were
missing, and the remains showed that they
had been wrenched off. Several whole fami
lies of from two to five persons lost their lives.
The scene slufter says the lire
originated among some gauze, which in
some way became ignited. The flames spread
to the scenery, of which the stage was un
usually full, owing to preparations for the
production of a pantomime.
London. September B.—The letter contain
ing the invitation to Mr. Gladstone to attend
the centennial celebration of tho American
constitution at Philadelphia was dated June
24, and was signed by Messrs. Kasson, Little,
Carson and Cochrane, for the committee. Sir.
Gladstone was invited as the guest of tho com
mittee, and he was informed by the gentlemen
who convened to him tho invitation that it was
the only one sent to any person not an Ameri
can citizen or an accredited diplomat, the ex
ception in his case being intended as an ex
press recognition of the historical ties which
bound great Britain and America before tho
declaration of independence.
He was also assured that he would be al
lowed to make whatever arrangements he
pleased, and would ho entertained in America
as no man has been since the visit of General
Lafayette.
Mr. Gladstone, on July 20, made reply to
the letter, and assured the committee of the
great honor lie felt in receiving an invitation to
the celebration of the centennary of tke
American constitution. His letter continues:
The attractions of tho nvitation are enhanced to

soldiers and police. ‘lhe nrocesdon, finding
its further pi■ gross barred, halted in tho field,
and Messers Sullivan, Stanhope and
O’Brien made speeches from their car
riage*. A troop of hussars, bead
ed by Colonel Turner, divisional
magistrate, rode up to whore the procession

meeting to disperse within five minutes. Mr.
Stanhope hand* d Colonel Turner a copy of the
res dutions adapted by the meeting, claimink
Ih ioc rule, d daring adherence to Parr, elf,
thanking the liberal party, pledging resistance
to tho proclamation of the league and denounc
ing Lind grabbing. Mr. Stanhope de. ared
that the proceedings of the meeting were legal
and that if a collision occurred between the
people and the troops ho would hold Colonel
Turin r responsible. Colonel Turner replied
that he was bound to execute his orders.
After the parley the procession returned to
Ennis, and O'Brien addressed tho crowd in
O'Connell square. The soldiers and police
again appearing, the procession passed on to
the hotel, which tho loaders entered. The
crowd then dispersed quietly.
There were lighted candies in the windows
of almost every house in Ennis last night. An
enormous crowd welcomed the visitors and es
corted them to the hotel, where addresses were
presented to them. M. Stanhope made a long
reply, in which ho congratulated Ireland upon
having secured tho sup)x>rt of the English lib
erals. Mr. Dillon enjoined the crowd to be
peaceful during the night, and deprive the
authorities of every excuse or palliation for tho
outrage they proposed to indict at the morrow’s
meeting. Sullivan and Cox also spoke. The
crowd dispersed, cheering for the nationalists,
and groaning for tho government. Tne streets
were alive wiih people at an early hour this
morning. Tho houses were decorated with
banners and political mottoes, ami gayly
dressed ladies were at tho windows watching
the animated scene. League bands paraded
the streets.
Father Walsh, the parish priest, presided at
the meeting of today. In spite of the pouring
rain, the greatest enthusiasm prevailed.
31 r. Cox proposed resolutions protesting
against tho proclamation of the league.
Mr. Stanhope said that tho meeting was a
grand and noble protest in favor of the right of
free speech, lie, had come to tell them, in the
name of the English people, that they claimed
for Irishmen the right of freely and publicly
gathering to express their wishes.
31 r. Dillon, who was loudly cheered, said:
“I am more proud than 1 can tell you, to see
you here today in your thousands to show that
you will not be intimidated by any such pro
clamation as that placarded on your walls. I f
this meeting is illegal, I invito the government
to imprison the whole of this crowd. [Laugh
ter.] As for us wo are prepared to take the
consequences of our words. We shall continue
to put down land grabbing in spite of appeals
to the government, and shall make every land
lord wiio treats his tenants unjustly a scare
crow and terror to evil doers. No
evicted farm shall bo taken in care
(cheers), and I make the government a pres
ent of that. (Applause). While lam at liber
ty, and we w ill continue to hold meetings and
preach to you tho gospel of deliverance for tho
poor. He concluded by referring to the pres
ence of English members as an augury of the
hour when landlords would no longer dare to
interfere with the free meetings of Irishmen.
Though our meeting place is
held by dragoons today, tho
hour is close at hand when wo will be the mas
ters oi Ireland. [Cheers.]
Colonel Turner’s par y was now seen gallop
ing up.
Mr. O’Brien called upon the people to hold
their ground.
The police and tho military held
Ballycoree hill lhe whole day. Some
English ladies aud gentlemen visited the spot
out of curiosity, w hen a detachment of mil
itary came up at double quick, thinking that
another meeting was being held. The ollicors
were chagrined on hearing tho merry jests of
the ladies at their expense.
At the nationalist meeting today at Middle
ton. ten miles from Armagh, several
po’iicemen, who w«ve detailed to keep order,
were attacked and badly injured.
O’Brien Did Not Appear.
Dublin,September 9.—Mitchellstown. where
the case of the government against William
O’Brien, under tho coercion a< t, was to have
been heard today, was crowded all day with
civilians, police and soldiers. Mr. O’Brien
did not appear in court to answer the sum
mons. Service of summons was proved and
the judge granted a warrant for O’Brien’s ar
rest. An open air indignation meeting was
subsequently held. Henry Lahpuchere and
others made speeches, denouncing the govern
ment for its course in regard to Ireland.
At Mitchellstown today a conflict occurred
at a meeting which was held in Market
square. The police were attempting to pro
tect the government stenographer when a
fight took place, and the crowd repulsed tho
police, sixty in number, several of whom were
struck -with sticks and .stones and severely
injured. The police obtained reinforcements
and returned to the scene. They tired six
shots and two men were instantly killed.
Several other persons were wounded. The
rioters dispersed, but they now threaten to re
gather.
The meeting in Market square was attended
by 7,000 persons. Messrs Dillon, Brunner,
Labouchere, John Ellis, Gill, Condon and
O’llea were present. A government reporter
with an escort of police tried to push to the
front. Tho crowd rushed to them with sticks
and stones. The police made a charge against
the crowd and were repulsed by men on horse
back. Mr. Condon tried to pacify the crowd.
Mr. Dillon advised them to treat the police
with silent contempt, because homo rule was
nearly won, and then Irish forces would bo
under control of tho people instead of, as now,
in the hands of their enemies. A row was
started, however, and reinforcements of po
lice,who had been drawn up from tho barracks,
tired into tho crowd. One man was killed and
several others wounded. One of tho wounded
has since died. The police next charged and
dispersed tho crowd.
Mr. Labouchere was a witness of the whole
scene from a carriage. He asked Magistrate
Seagravc if tho meeting might bo held else
where without molestation. Seagravc replied
that the meeting might he held anywhere out
side the town. A constable came un and
spoke to Seagravc, and the latter immediately
corrected himself, declining to allow the meet
ing to bo held anywhere. Seagrave was in a
hotel when tho police fired. Is is not
known at present who ordered them
to tire. Mr. Dillon, Father O’Callaghan
and Father O’Connell followed the police and
entered the barracks with tin in. Two priests
were put out. Mr. Dillon was inside during
the firing. He says that much confusion pre
vailed], nobody seeming to be in command.
Mr. Labouchere arrived later and asked the
inspector to ascertain who tired the first shots.
The inspector refused to in ikc any such in
quiry. A youth has been found who says he
can identify the constable who killed Riordan.
Dr. Fenton expresses the belief that Riordan
was not killed by a bullet but by a blow on
the head with the muzzle of a carbine.
Fifty-four constables were trcatedjfor slight in
juries. Mitchellstown is quiet tonight.

000,000, leaving bothb nks $5H2,000,<i00 of money,
against in our country. Now, then, that
gold in France and England is the basis of a circu
lation, of which it is but a percentage, whereas our
gold is the basis of no circulation, our silver is the
basis of no circulation. True, against the

They would be just as good for all purposes if that,

if that imm< nse amount of silver was made up in
the form of a monument to (riutofthe sanu s’ze
as the marble monument, audit would be much
safer than It is now, for nobody could carry it oil*.
Let us see what theefe t of this Is. The hoarding of
gold and silver, the reducing of our circulation, has
brought inteied here to six and seven percent,
while in today’s report from London Inter© t there
is one per cent. To get money for i u iness we have
to sell our four per cent coupon bonds of the United
states, payable in IX9I. at 10S'b and these same
bonds are silling in London at 111 1 b So that to get
money for the business of the c intry we have to
pay three percent, and yet we have double the
money lying without any use whatever in the
treasury’ locked up.
This has no political significance, because this
con i:i >n of things is the result of the legislation of
the republican party on the one side and of the
want of legislation on the part of th© democratic
party on tho other. Both are to blame.
The question is, 1 o v is this money to be got out
of the treasury? My i lea, comradi s, is that it
should be distributed equitably. How is that?
Make a service pension for every man who served
three months in the war so much, and soon, ac
cording to the desert of tlie pensioner. In this
way the money would bo distributed, and could
never go wrong. Aman gets it who earns it. A
man gets it who owns it. it goes to every village
and every hamlet in the country. And it has to
go through the hands of the butcher and the baker
and the candlestick maker, and all others, before
it gets into the bank to bo loaned outat any per cent.
It is put in circulation. The great ques
tion is raised, how can tlie government
put this into circulation? My comrades,let them give
it to us to whom it belongs, and we will see to it
that it is put Into circulation. We will become re
sponsible for that, if for no more. But it may be
said this can’t be done by this administration, be
cause It is not a democratic measure. To that I
answer that once before tin’s country had a surplus
revenue under a man by tlie name of Andrew Jack
son, somewhat of a democrat, and he distributed it,
ns did the state of Maine, per capita, so many dol
lars a head. There is in the treasury ai this mo
ment $500,000,000, just $lO a head for every man,
woman and child in this country. Give it to tho
soldier according to his service, and you can’t say
that you give It to the man who has not earned it.
But it may be said that a part of this money be
longs to the south. They have paid the taxes. Yes,
I agree they have, but not much of it, except on
whisky and tobacco, and we have consumed about
as much of their tobacco un i drank as much of
their whisky to pay the taxes as they have. But I
am looking upon tin's as a matter of statesmanship
by which we can relieve the finances of tlie coun
try, and I want to Le just and equitable. Almost
seventeen years ago, I said in congress that I
looked forward to the day when we should give re
lief to the disabled confederate soldiers. 1 was very
much criticized at that time for saying it. and
whenever I was criticised that means abuse. 1 bore
that with a patient shrug, for “sufferance Is tlie
bulge of all my tribe.” J lie pension is given to the
veil man as a matter of.reward for his valor in the
army; the pension was given the disabled
man as a matter of mercy for his
loss. And I am ready, here and now
whether it is with obloquy or with praise, to say
that as soon as we have rewarded the men who
fought for the union, then lam content that tlie
surplus money of the United States shall be taken
for the purpose of administering to the necessities
of the confederate sojdiers of the south, who were
not blameable for this war being brought upon us,
but are the only suflen rs by it. Bvt I want to say
another thing to my friends of the north and south.
We never shall be al h to relieve the necessities of
the wounded and maimed confederates until ( very
union soldier is rewarded for his valor and loyalty,
and tho quicker every man votes for that the quicker
he will bring . b git this act of magnanimity o the
southern people.
Therefore, i insist that wo should deman 1 this
pension. I don’t mean we, as soldiers, but that'he
country should demand it as the means of getting
rid of tlie surplus, which, by piling ut» money in our
tr a ury, makes the rate of interest here 7 per cunt,
v hen the rate of in;e I st in England is down to 1
percent. Tlds is tlie first dav of September; on 'be
first Monday of December congress meets. Within
thirty days this act might be pas ed and the distri
bution of the money could go on directly and relieve
the whole country—the financial, mercantile, man
ufacturing and every eUss of producer, wiieiiiei in
the shop or in the fkTd. If we demand it, if the
people require it, neither party in the face of u pies
idential election will 'lure refuse it s xty days.
THE FIERCE SOLDIER OF CHILI.
As a soldier tho Chillano is brave to reck
lessness, and a sense of fear is unknown to him. Ho
will not endure a siege, says W. E. Curtis, in Har
per’s Magazine, nor can l»c made to fight rt long
range, but as soon ns he xeee the enemy lie fires one
volley, drops his gun, and rushes in with his “cur
ve.” ll.s endurance is as great as his courage, and
no North American Indian can travel so fur without
rest or go so long without food or water ns the Chil
lano jeon or “Roto,” as the mixed race is called,
As tho “Cholo” In Peru Is the descendant of tlie
Spaniards and the Incas, so is the “Roto” in Chili
the child of tho Sjiuniard and the Aran
canian Indians, the race of giants
with which the early explorers re
ported that Patagonia was peopled—“menne ot that
Liggincss,” as Sir Francis Drake reported, “that it
b emed the trees of the forests were uprooted and
were moving away.” They have the Spanish ten
acity of j»urpose, tho Indian endurance, and tho
cruelty of both. Each soldier, in the mountains or
the desert, cut les on his breast two buckskin bags.
In one are the leaves of the co".a plant, in the other
powdered lime made of the ashes of potato-xkins.
The coca is the strongest sort of a tonic, and by
chewing it the ( hillano soldier can abstain from
food oi drink for a week or ten days at a stretch.
The Chillano soldier is not easily subjected to dis
cipline, and outvandals the vandals In tho
destruction of probity, as the present
condition of Peru will prove. Ho burns.and de
stroys everything within bls reach that has shed
tore I a > enemy. No authority can restn n his
hand. The awful scenes of devastation that took
jdaee in Peru have nothing to parallel them In the
annals nf mod rn warfare. On the battle-fields
nine-tenths of the d< a l were found with their
throats cut, and the Cldliunos took no prisoner*, ex
c< pl when a whole arm / capitulate 1. They ask no
quarter and give none. The knowledge of ILh char
acteristic mi t. e fear of tho Chiliano knife w- r«- a
powerful f.u tor in the subjugation of the more hu
mane Peruvians,
Every day adds to the groat amount nf evi
dence as to tlie curative pow< r.j of Hood’s Sar*
sajiarilla. It is unequalled for general debility*
and as a blood purifier, expelling every trace
of scrofula or other impurity. Now is tlie
tiiQu to take it Sold by all druggists.
SENATORS IN COURT.
Mahone Sues Riddleborger for
Five Hundred Dollars,
WHICH HE SAYS HE LOAN: D HIM
Woodstock, Va., September 7.—ln the
circuit court was tried tho suit of Senator Mii
hone against*Senator Riddlebcrger, on a bond
of .V‘hK>, givcQ Maho’U' by Riddlcberger. Ma
hon© claimed that the money was loaned to
Riddlebergor personally. Senator Riddlebor
ger testified that every statoinent made by
Mahone was untrue. He said he had no cotv
versation with Mahone in 1881: that ho had no
connection with him; that ho did not see him
and thr.t Alahone was not in Woodstock in
1881. Tho senator said he received money
from Mahone in 1879, u hen Mahone was elect
ed to tho United States sen ite. Ho spoke of
being in a hotel in Now York at tho time.
There wore several lively xpatfl between Sena
tor Riddlebergor and W. E. Craig, Mahono’s
counsel.
“I. waive all objection to anything (he Sona
ta’ may say on this occasion,” said Craig.
“I am glad you waive objections to my tel
ling tho truth,” promptly replied tho Senator.
"(lo mi,” said Craig.
“I’ll go on without yon saying so,” replied
the senator. “This note,” the senator con
tinued, “was given in W oodstock. 1 did not
got tlie benefit of the money. It went to can
did. tu ,or if the truth were known, or it were
possible to prove”—Here an objection was
made and the senator broke off.
T did not give born! at the time, and W’as
not i: quested to do until ymi, Craig, camo to
my house and asked me to do so, when I was
advertised to speak in Soulhwi ~' Virginia.”
He (lien began to toll about the *■ d.COj, but was
told to coniine himself to the ciuse. Tho
senator said ho got the SIJMM) and tho SSOO at
t he. same time, though he receised one at Fair
fax Court house and tho other hurt*.
Craig, on cross-examination, showed tho sen
ator a letter which ho read and acknowledged
as his. It was a L iter to Willi;.m Mahone,
dated Woodstock, Va., July 17, l' K 1. It was
ab-ng, sniej, gossipy letter, containing news
and laniily matters. One ]>ass:igo i\ nd with
emphasis by Mr. Craig,was as follows:
’• id nil received tne draff < n you yestordav,
and (heeled mu* h of ye'l'it ay m ai’.pivingft.
Thank God, I now have no obb.;aii< ns but to one
l>erso!i—ymrself. 1 saw Randolph Tuck i Mondaj',
and he assures me I will get mj niilro.i I ie< s during
tl.o wint- r.and yon may io »k fin a piom ■; r. turn.
Tho senator acknowledges that both the note
dated July 1(5, 1881, and the letter, July 17,
L*<'l. were written with (ho same kind of ink,
violet, which he says ho has beun using lor ten
years, and possibly with the same p,*n. Tho
senator said ho owed Mahone nn a note for
$750, given in 1886, when witness wa < a Tilden
elertor. Mahone never made a demand on
him for this money. Ho did not remember
how ho applied the idoncy. It was for cam
paign purposes, for debts owed by the com
mittee and gentlemen of tho party. He did
n<»t apply a dollar to his personal obligations.
Witness borrowed money of the bank, < .»oh at
a timo, and got others to imlor > for him, as
he was not ashamed to s. • hr u »d not tho
credit. Hu never stole a dollar of iLa funds,
and hoped every man can miv the ; .m. Ho
never promised to pay Mali nr .ir ■ ’ noy.
“Ten yours subsequently,” said i r senator,
“I wa< asked to put SS(X) in ih Uielnnmid
Whig, but declined hr‘auso I struggling
in the debt and turmoil. I coni i not see a
man «»n the square of \\ o- dsi » k that 1 did not
owe and could not pay. No., t* II if you. Craig,
put in any. I never promis' dto .« y Mahone
out of railroad fees. Maliono want' d me to
insure my life for his ben* lit I !<• d him I
]»rrierrc*i insuring f< r the b nelit *•! no one
else. I never Leaid of Muhoue's el-'i'H forthis
money until you, Craig, came t«» my h > ise.”
The jury was diseharyrd umil lom- rrow.
On tho next suit for the $l,()o0, Alahmm, it is
said, will bo nn sent and an exciting time is
expected. ‘‘Maliono never would have sued
me had he carried tho legislature that elected
John Daniel to the Unit' d States senate,”
said Kiddlebergcr after adjournment.
A BLAZING BEAR IN A TENT.
Ono night a very interesting game was in
progress. Mark Farm y held a king full against
Squiers's flush, and Noisy Smith staid in ailh a bob
tall straight and a placid smile, kin - mi F.splnosa,
California, correspond nt of the N -.v York Sun.
There was a double biindftil of beans on o •of the
oil can. Ah Suey bad oie to sleep at the buck of
the tent, ami was chopping wood hi his dreams.
Just ns Noisy Smith was about to raise Ah Suey
sprang up with a yell and bound* d out of the tent,
upsettii g tlie oil can tin I twoofthe players enroute.
Aigucllo 1* o' ed up in anger, and drew his revolver
to take a shot nt the fleeing Chinaman, but changed
his mind when he saw lhe head of u grizzly jtoked
through the rear flap of tho tent. The bear was
surveying the sc n■» with evident astonlshmi nt and
some inteiest. Arguello's anger was diverted toward
the bear.
“Ahl you breaka up sueh a pot as that!” he cried.
“Carajo!” And he blazed away at the shaggy
head.
There was a howl, a charge, and a rush of the
play rs out of tho tent. They did not wait to seize
their guns.
Ihe bear knocked down a tent polo at one end
and Farney carried away the other os lie plunged
out headlong. The tent camo down on tho bear
and enveloped him. For an instant there was a
young earthquake under the canvas. Then it be
came a volcanic disturlianee. The am j> exploded and
set fire to tho whole mass. The plug must have been
knocked out of the big oil-can by tlie bear’s vigorous
antics. All lhe oil was ablaze In an Instant and tent,
blankets and bear were enveloped in flames. Ar
guello, Smith and Farney happened to have their
revolvers on them, and they stood around and add
ed to the bear’s discomfort by plugging bullets into
him. Squicrs had no pistol and prudently got up
into a tall tree and yelled “Fire!” Ah Suey had
crawled into a hollow log and kept very still.
'l he bear wailed and yelled with j a n and rage,
and rolled over in the burning canvas. It was not
much more than half a minute before he broke out
of the mass with a howl and rushed blindly about,
striking furioudy at trees and everything in his
way. Pieces of the tent clung to him, and Le tore
t hem off with his claws an 1 teeth arnl sent blazing
fragments flying in all directions. His shaggy hair
had become saturated with oil here ami there, and
was blazing and snapping merrily In pate bus. His
fury was something frightful and his general aspect
*!*■':.d'-'ily demoniac. Al fiist he did not e any of
the jaity, but in one of his mad whirls he < aught
sight of smith, who bad just fired at him. The bear
charged on Smith, who turned and san like a
deer, with the blazing lieur in literally hot
pm -ult. Smith did not notice tlie direction lie took
until, in half a dozen jumps, he saw the bank of
the er ek before him. 'lhem was no time to turn.
He put all bis energies into his Pgs and leaped as
far into tho stream as he could, falling lect for
niost with a' ( hug.” The illuminated bear fol
lowed, falling with a prodigious splash ami a dis
tinct sizzle. Then Noisy Smith dived under water,
tuin dup stream,and swain silently back to the
bank from which he had leaj>ed. The b jar drifted
down stream and swam to the opposite bank.
Farney and Arguello peppering at him with their
revolvers. H ■ reached the other side and disap
peared in the clmjairul wailing and moaning with
pain, and that was the last seen of him.
Texas Could Bury Three Times tho Earth’s
Aggregate Population.
From ti e Kansas City Star.
Considerable disputes have been had relative
to the Bj>a(e required to contain the jgjople of the
earth from Adam to the end of ix thousand years.
The si>ucc required Is comparatively Insignificant
w hen the almost Incomprehensible mimlxr of peo
ple are taken into consideration. The basis of cal
culation Is pr< s imably overestimated. The present
population of the earth Is rejnited to Le 1,100,0C0,(XM)
)g?ople. WehaveU3 yeir.yet to complete 6,000
years, but If we take 700,000,000 as an average dying
every generation, we find ih it lu tie 6,000 years,
allowing years to a generation, 180 generations
will have pnv•':■!, or 700,000,000x180 -126,000,000,000
(billions) of jicople will have existed at the com
pletion of 6,<)00 years. Allowing one square yard
to each, they would occupy a sj»ace of 87,418 square
miles. This Is a little more than one-half the size
of Missouri (fi3,415 nillcsj and seven times less than
tlie size oi Texas (2J»,7h0 square mil ,) Allowing
3x6 feet for interment, Texas would afford burial
f>r three times the numtier, or on lhe sirne basis,
w ould contain all tho people of the earth for ls,<xx)
years. Allowing two feet to stand on, for each per
son, at the end of 6,000 ye irs they would make a
I (dt around lhe earth (25,000 miles) 177 deep, or
from the • arth to the moon (2 <O,O 0 mbes) deep,
whilst it w mld take eight tlme.i th ; numb r to ex

four-flftlis of human diseases hayo their
source in Impure Blood, a ntei|icine
which restores that fluid fiom il de
praved to a healthy condition come?.as

can be produced. Ayer’s Sarsapariilat
affects the blood in each stage of its’
formation and is, therefore, adapted to
a greater variety of complaints than any
other known medicine.
Boils and Carbuncles,
which defy ordinary treatment, yield to
Ayer’s Sarsuparilla after a comparative. '

Mr. C K Murray, of Charlottesville,
Va., writes that for years Ae was af
flicted with boils which caused him
much suffering These were succeeded
by carbuncles, ot which lie nad several
at one time He then began the use of
Ayer’s Sarsapariiia, and after takin,;
three bottles, the carbuncles disap
peared, and for six years ho has not had
even a pimple.
That insidious disease, Scrofula, is
the fruitful cause of innumerable com
plaints, Consumption being only one of
many equally fatal. Eruptions, ulcers,
sere eyes, glandular swellings, weak
and wasted muscles, a capricious appe
tite, and tho i;>re are pretty sure indi
cations of a scrofulous taint in the
system. Many otherwise beautiful faces
arc disfigured by pimples, eruptions,
ami unsightly blotches, which arise
from impure blood, showing tlie need of
Ayer’s Sarsaparilla to remedy the evil.
All sufferers from blood disorders
should give Ayer's Sarsaparilla a fair
trial, avoiding all powders, ointments,
and washes, and especially cheap and
worthless compounds, winch not only
fail to effect a euro, but more frequently
aggravate and son firm the diseases they
