BOULANGER SUICIDES ___

, ! omat « who at one time played a most of
important role in the political affairs
t ranee, ’, suicided Tuesday m the cemetery
at Ixel near Brussels. Following is
the General’s last message b written the
day before hig deatb . In it the causes
wb ; ch led to his unceremonious taking
off are explained:
Boulanger’s last message.
This is my political testament. It is
my desire that it be myself published after my I
death. I shall kill tomorrow.
am convinced of the iuture of the party
of which I have given my name. I can
not bear the frightful misfortune which
befell me two and a half months ago. I
have tried to get the better of it, but
have not succeeded. I am persuaded and
that my followers are so devoted so
numerous that they will bear me no anger
for disappearing ou account of a sorrow
so great that all work has become impos
t-ible to me. Let them remember the
maxim, “uno avulso non deficit alter,”
and may they continue then to act
against those who, in scorn of all laws,
forced me to die far from my country.
Tomorrow I shall be a dead man. To
day I have done nothing to reproach my
self with. All my life I have done my
duty and nothing but myself, my duty. My
death is no shame to but it is a
shame for my proscribers; those who
sought to brand a loyal soldier by the
judgment of a political tribunal. I desire
to recall the fact that I have many times
offered to constitute myself a prisoner if
they would accord me common law
judges. This the holders of power have
always refused. Thus acquittal was but not
possible. In quitting life 1 have one
regret—that I have not died on the field
of battle fighting for my couutry. That
country at least wi.l permit one of its
children, at the moment of returning
into nothingness, to recall himself to the
m> mory of all lovers of LaPatrie. \ivela

eve of the day ot my death.
Earnest Boulanger.
A Paris cablegram of Thursday says:
Mme. Boulanger, wife of General Bou
langer, who is living at Versailles, was
overcome with grief when informed ot
her husband’s tragic death in the ceme¬
tery at Ixelles, near Brussels, Sbe
fainted twice within a short time after
hearing the sad news, and is at present
very much depressed in spirits.
WIIAT THE PRESS SAYS.
The fact that, the suicide of Boulanger
made no impression upon European
bourses, indicates the low ebb of the
ial’s influence. The London Times,
in commenting on the suicide of Bou
i an „ e rsays: “Boulanger cleared the air
0 f French politics. If the republic is
again menaced, the danger will come
from more upright and manlv aspirants
for power thaQ the Qrleanist of Bon
npartist intriguers, who figure in “coul
i 9S es du Boulangiste.” correspondent of the Lon
The yi enna
don Standard says: Boulanger’s suicide
is the subject of conversation every
where. His fate is compared with Bal
maceda, which probably suggested it.
Characteristic stories aie in circulation
about his devices to hide his impecunios
ity. Many knowing his circumstances
anticipated that such would be his end.
The Paris correspondent of the Times
says: “Boulanger’s only excuse is, that
being once commonplace and sincere, he
served without suspicion as an instrument
of others. The irretrievable depth of his
fate shows that France, henceforward
mistress of her destinies, is no longer
likely to take upon herself a master,
With his corpse will be buried the latest
personification of that execrable race
known as the saviors of society.
A cablegram of Thursday from Brus¬
sels says: It has been decided that the
funeral of Boulanger will take place Snt
urday afternoon. Henri Rochefort will
attend the funeral, which will be a pure¬
ly civil ceremony. The clergy, under
instructions of the archbishop of Malines,
have finally and definitely refused to
officiate at the interment of the general’s
remains.

Wonderful Growth of Electric Travel.
Only twelve years have elapsed since
the first crude suggestions of the practi¬
cal working of an electric railway were
made, and four years ago a list of a dozen
would comprise every such road in the
world in even passably successful opera¬
tion, whatever the method of application.
The first large commercial electric rail¬
way was, after many difficulties and dis¬
couragements, opened in the early part
of 1888 at Richmond, Ya.; and since
that demonstration was made, the indus¬
try has grown until there are now
in operation or under contract, on the
general lines laid down at Richmond,
not less than 350 roads in the United
States, Europe, Australia, and Japan, re¬
quiring more than 4000 car3 and 7000
motors, with more than 2600 miles of
track, a daily mileage of nearly 500,000
miles, and carrying nearly a billion pas¬
sengers annually. Fuliy 10,000 people
are employed on these roads, and there
has never been an authenticated report
of death on account of the electrical pres¬
sure used. Over $50,000,000 are in
vested in this industry in this country
alone.— The Forum.
For the King’s Pleasure.
In ancient records we find mention of
four-wheeled carriages drawn by mules,
to convey in vessels set apart the water
of a noted river, for the use of a king
then engaged in battle; for none other
would the royal gentleman accept as a
beverage, and even that not only until it
had been boiled in silver vessels. In such
princely manner rumbled the water-cart
withersoever it might please his Highness
to travel.— Harper's Weekly.

dependent on nervous exhaustion and impaired digestion. When there is an
insufficient supply of nerve food in the blood, a general state of debility lika of
the brain, spinal marrow and nerves is the result. Starved nerves,
starved muscles, become strong when the right kind of food is supplied, and
a thousand weaknesses and ailments disappear as the nerves recover. As tha
nervous system must supply all the power by which the vital forces of the
body are carried on, it is the first to suffer for want of perfect nutrition.
Ordinary food does not contain a sufficient quantity of the kind of nutriment
n icessary to repair the wear our present mode of living and labor impose* food be
upon the nerves. For this reason it becomes necessary that a nerve
