P., Lippman’s Great Remedy, Saves
a Man‘ From Becoming a Cripple.

r. Asa Airinons, a well-known
.en of Jacksonville, Florida, was
cted by a terrible ulcer. Medical
seemed unavailing in stopping the
ges of the terrible disease. The
was swollen and intensely painful, ‘
the ulcer had eaten its way-down
o the very bone. All medicines and
.reatments having failed to effect a
cure, the doctors said the leg must
come off. Just when it seemed that
Mr. Ammons would become a disabled
and a crippled man, he tried P. P. P.,
Lippman’s Great Remedy, and the re-
sult was wonderful.

P. P. P. SAVES HIS LEG.

“ Jacksonville, Fla., July 1, 1895.—
Two years ago I had the worst ulcer
on my leg I ever saw. It had eaten
down to the bone, and my whole leg
below my knee, and my foot was
swollen and inflamed. The bone was'
swollen and painful, and discharged 3
most ofl’ensive matter. My physicians
said I had necrosis of the bone, and
my leg would have to come off. At
this stage I commenced to take P. P. P.
and to bathe my leg with hot castile
soap suds. It began to improve at
once and healed rapidly, and is to-dav
a sound and useful leg. -

“I think P. P. P., Lippman’s Great
Remedy, is all a man could ask for as
a blood purifier, as I have known it to
cure so meterrible cases of blood poi-
soning in a remarkablyshort time.

“ASA AMMONS.”

TERRIBLE BLOOD POISON.

The body covered with sores—two
bottles of P. P. P. made a positive and
permanent cure.- This is only one of
many thousand'similar cases.

Catarrh yields at once to P. P. P.
That smothered feeling at night, that
heavy feeling in the day—can and
should be removed; P. P. P. will do it
if you only give it a chance.

Indigestion and Constipation go hand
in hand. Headaches and total loss of
appetite are the results. Regulate
yourself and tone up your stomach
with P. P. P.

LOST rows or Season.

Senator Pettigrow, Stricken With Paralys-
_ of the Vocal Cord During Debate. '
Washington, June 28.——An abrupt and

startling halt in the tariff debate oc-

ocourred in the senate Saturday after-
noon, when, in the midst of a passion-
ate speech, Senator Pettigrew, silver

Republican of South Dakota, was

stricken with paralysis of the vocal

cord, which brought his vehement
speech to a close with a sentence half
uttered. The senator was not phys-
cally incapacitated except in the sud-
den loss of the power of speech. A -.
though he took his seat unaided, his,
associates felt that grave possibilities
were involved in such an attack. They
were quickly by his side, and he was
ministered to with as little confusion
as possible. He left the chamber soon
after and was taken home by his
friends. ' ‘

Senator Pettigrew rallied rapidly and
last evening chatted pleasantly with
his family and a few friends who called’
at his home. He was still a. little weak
from the effect of the attack, but was
greatly improved and said he felt quite
well. There was no fever nor any un-
pleasant symptoms growing out of the
attack, and he wanted his friends as-
sured that he was not in a. serious con-
dition. His physician anticipates no
serious results.

I VIOLATED THE PBNAL OODB.

Police Commissioners Clements and Rick-
ard of Schenectady Are Accused.

Schenectady, N. Y., June 28.-—A de-
cided sensation has been created here
by the exposure which puts Police
Commissioners John Clements and Jay
Rickard in an unpleasant light. Both
are prominent merchants, the former
being a proprietor of a. large grocery
store and the latter of an .extensive
sporting goods house.

They are charged with violating sec-
tion 473 of the penal code, which pro-
vides that a public ofl‘icer who makes
any contract or sale in his official ca-
pacity, is guilty of a misdemeanor.

An examination of the police commis-
sioners’ reports shOWS that both Clem-
ents and Rickard have as police com~
missioners sold goods to the city and
then have audited their own bills.
Their cases will be presented to the
grand jury.

 

Forget Cunningham Sentenced.

Cleveland, June 28.—Charles N. Cun-
ningham, who forged Judge E. T. Ham-
ilton’s name to a check for $75,000. has
been sentenced to five years in the pen-
itentiary. The case excited the atten-
tion of the medical world, as expert
physicians held that, owing to a de-
pression in Cunningham's skull which
pressed upon the brain, he was virtual-
ly insane. He underwent an operation
to remove the pressure and claimed
that it cleared his reason. The court
held, however, that there was no evi-
dence that the depression affected Cun-
ningham’s sanity.

Gertrude Allen Arrested. Q.
Lansing, Mich., June 28.-—Gertrude
Allen, who figured conspicuously here
a few years ago in a sensational forgery
case, has been arrested here on a fugiv
tive Warrant as the result of an indict-
ment at Denver for forging election re-
turns at the April municipal election
while officiating as one of the judges.
She declares her innocence and gave
bail to appear when wanted. She holds
the position of ordinance clerk in the
city clerk’s office in Denver, and is at
her home in Michigan on leave of ab-
sence.

Toronto, June 28.—Rev. A. C. Crews,
secretary of the Canadian Epworth
league, has been notified by the gov~
ernment that all American delegates
to the Epworth league convention to

A SOCIETY _GIR_L WHO POSES.

How lilies Bradley of Washington Became
a. Professional Model. ‘

Miss Kate Mickles Bradley, daughter

of the late Col. George W. Bradley,
U. S. A., has become a professional
model, and her adoption of this rather
unusual vocation has come about in
a most natural way, and makes a
pretty story. ,
. A few months ago Miss Bradley and
her mother returned to their home af-
ter eight years’ absence in the West.
At the time of her departure Miss
Bradley was an almost helpless in—
valid. but during her sojourn West
she seemed to have been. touched by
a fairy‘s wand and transform-ed into
a perfection of physical vigor and
grace.

Miss Bradley moves in Washing-
ton’s most exclusive army and social
circles, and her unique and beautiful
“song pantoniines,” in which she il-

lustrated melodies by means of ges-

tures, have been the feature of many
entertainments given by the smart set
during the season just.closed.

While giving these prOSe poems she
wore an aesthetic gown with Greek
effects, the bodice low and the arms
bare, and her dark hair caught in a
classic knot at the back of her shape-
ly head, _

Mr. Lucien Powell, the artist, was
present on one of these occasions,
when he was so impressed with the
beauty of her work that he gave her
a letter of introduction to Mr. Jerome
Uhl, and another to Mr. Richard
Brooke. Mr. Brooke, in turn, sent her

with a letter to the Art League, where .

she was immediately accepted, and
began her experience as a model by
posing for- the head and shoulders be-
fore the portrait class of the league.
She then posed for Mr. Uhl’s painting,
“A Morning Call," which was intend-
ed for the Cosmos exhibition, but was
reported by-the jury on selection as
being too large.

The Bradley home is exquisitely ar-
tistic in its appointments, and num-
bers among its attractions at small but
complete conservatory, Mrs. Bradley
being as devoted to her flowers as her
gifted young daughter is to her art.—
VVashington Times.

SHE GETS PHOTOGRAPHS.

A New Vocation which a \Vonlari Pursues
on the Fringe of Society.

The craze for illustration in the
weeklies and montlilies and recreation
and fashion journals of the day has
created a new occupation, that of the
photograph getter. The photograph
getter accumulates a collection of rare
likenesses and rents them out at so
much a head, to be used for illustrat-
ing articles. People who are known
to be approachable are not worth so
much in the field as those who are
suspected of objecting to notoriety.
The pictures of conspicuous society
women who are frequently heard to
declare that they would not give their
plmtOgi'aphs to anybody for publica-
tion are rated at $5, or perhaps as
high as $7. Those of ivomen whose
features have apppeared once or twice
in proximity to type bring only $2.50,
but all have a value. Only pictures
of professionals are valueless to the
photograph getter. They are a drug
in the market, no matter how fair of
form and feature or how unique or
artistic. The fact that the subjects
go to the photographer on business
and not for diversion spoils the pic-
tures for the photograph getter.

The photograph getter, whether gent-
ly born or not, old or young, fair or
homely, must be a diplomatist of no
mean pretensions in order to succeed
at her task. It is also essential that
she should be if not actually in the
swim at least so close on the verge
thereof that the little eddying currents
reach her and she obtains more than
a superficial idea of what is going on
in mid-streain.——New York Sun.

BASE INGRATITUDE.

The Redbirds Assaulted the Saver of
their Nest. ‘

I got into a row with a pair of‘car-
(lint-Us one morning, says Maurice
Thompson, in the Atlantic Monthly,
the whole proceeding on their part
showing shameless ingratitude. Hear-
ing some bluéjays making a great
noise in a wild plum thicket not far
from the tent, _I took up my bow and
went to see what was the matter for
such a hubbub. A mob of jays had
surrounded a little hawk, which‘ I
soon discovered in the middle of a
plum tree, where he sat quite still,
evidently afraid. He saw me, how-
ever, and made a dash to break the
line of. his enemies; but he could not
go far, they worried him so. I ran
forward under cover of some low fo—
lingo, presently reaching a point from
which I could shoot at short range,
and brought him down. Now the jays
turned tail and flew away. But it
had chanced that I shot from very
close beside a cardinal’s nest; indeed,
my right elbow jostled it at the recoil
of the bow. Then came trouble. Both
redbirds assaulted me, pouncing at me
with vicious beak-snoppings, almost
striking me in the face. They seemed
not to account it anything that I had
slain the marauden who would .have
Amadea meal upon one of them or their
tender nestlings. Such is avian grat-
itude.

Fairy Tlles.

A chamber where camphor is man-
ufactured is a veritable fairy palace
of pure white crystals. Fac-similes
of palms, ferns and masses of tropical
vegetation droop in graceful festoons
from the roof and cover the walls.

Dandelion Leaves.
Some one who has tried it says that
if two or three dandelion leaves be
chewed before going to bed they will

induce sleep, no matter how- nervous

 

or worried one may, be.

 

 THE EVENING GAZETTE

COULD TALK' ABOUT FLlES.

Dull Pupil “Tho Proved He was not a Foon
_\\)iien it Came to His Specialty.

One of the speakers at a banquet
given here recently, says the Wash-
ington Post,vdwelt at some length up-
on gi man’s natural aptitude to the
vocation in life he pui'sued. He told
an’ interesting story illustrating his
Illeilllil‘lg‘ from one of his schoolboy
recollections, as follows:

“At my fii‘St school there was a boy
to whom the teacher could no: succeed
in imparting the simplest rules of el-
ementary knowledge. Try as she
might. liei' eiforts were failures. , Her
patience, after exhausting trials, turned
to despair. One day, when he seemed
duller than usual, she sent him from
the recitation bench to his seat with
a severe reprimand, promising to rec-
ommend his dismissal to the trustees.

“Shortly afterward sh-e observed him
bending over some pursuit at his desk.
His eyes were lighted with an expres-
sion that seemed inspiration. Anx~
ions to know the cause of this almost
miraculous transformation from sloth
that was sluggish to activity that was
life, she passed down the aisle by his
desk on some pretext that would not
disturb him, and found the cause of
his glowing study to be the examin-
ation of a fly, which he had caught and
was examining, having dissected it
into parts. The truth dawned upon
the teacher.
entomoiog '.
ist.

“The teacher said nothing, but that
afternoon called up the entire class
for general recitation. The boy’s ap-
pearance was as dull as ever. ‘Boys,’
said the teacher addressing the entire
school, ‘I want to see howfar your
general powers of observation on tri-
vial subjects go. For instance, you
have all seen thousands of flies. Now,
I want each of you to tell me his im-
pressions of a fly.’ Beyond the fact
that a fly was a fly and had two wings
not one of the school could say any-
thing further. At the first mention of
the subject the dull boy was all aglow.
He held up his hand and snapped his
fingers. He' realized his superiority.
It was his day. He told of the fly
from a general and analytical stand-
point, its interior and exterior con-
struction, its habits, its food, its gen-
eration and its propensities. The rest
of the school sat astonished. The boy
went on and launched into a general
description of bugs and insects he had
caught in the woods.

“From that day the teacher encour-
aged his pecuiiar aptitude, and
troubled him no more with the rules
of grammar and arithmetic. She went
into the woods with him and helped
in his studies of nature. She brought
the attention of the school trustees to
liis.case, and, to make a long story
short, he was sent to Europe for study.
In Leipsic lie was made moderator of
the Natural Conservatory of Science.
He held for a time an important po-
sition in the Smithsonian, at Wash-
ington, D. C., and lie is now in Paris,
one of the leading entomologists of
the world.

GOOD AMERICAN MANNERS.

The Politeness, However, Evidently not
Appreciated. '

It was in the elevator of the Hotel
Continental in Paris—one of those
slow-going machines in which this no-
ted hotel delights. FOur or five per-
sons were in the car besides the ope-
rator, who had waxed fat in his la-
borious occupation of pulling on the
rope.
from the Ecole des Beaux-Arts, where,
indeed, his whole time was employed
when not engaged in the necessary
relaxation at Versailles, in the Bois,
at the café, or in other restful places
of the world’s capital. His companion
was not of this description. Among
the others were a lady and a gentle-
man, to the former of whom the two
Americans had removed their hats.
But the gentleman with her made no
motion to remove his, but regarded
the company with a studied indiff-
erence.

“Oh,” said one of the Americans,
“it does not appear to be necessary to
remove one’s hat here,” and thereupon
clapped his on his head. The lady and
gentleman getting out at the next
floor, the elevator guard politely in-
formed the remainder of the company
that they were the Grand Duke and
Grand Duchess of Mecklenburg-Schwe-
rin, the latter being ow-n sister‘ to the
then Imperial Autocrat of All the Bus-
sias, as I believer-it was stated—Ar

frog. The mouth of the leet'm""i‘s,a pow~'

erful sucker, which will sustain 'Tnan‘y

toad and the frog is prehensile. By
means of it these animals seize and
hold their prey. The mouth of the
lobster is small, and he must tear his
food to pieces with his claws before
he (an devour it. The mouth of the
octopus is in the center of his body
and is provided with a beak closely
resembling that of a parrot. The
teeth of fish, like the teeth of most ani-
mals, are not fastened to the bone,
but are held in sockets.

“Has your son any special talent?”
asked one man.

“Yes,” replied ,the other, “I think
he’s an inventor.”

“Yes, most of them reasons why I

TAKES HIS MEALS A LA CAST lRON.

Harrison's Pecular Appetite Puzzles Phil-
adelphia Experts.

Harry Harrison who claims to have

a cast iron stomach, and who with

 

' evident ease ‘can apparently swallow

anything from railroad iron to shoe
tacks, or from a section of a. saw to
i 4—inch screw, was recently under the
scrutiny of the professors and med
ical faculty of the University of Penn-
sylvania, and the X rayof Dr- J.
Goodspoed ”Harrison has given a num-
ber of exhibitions of his wonder-
ful pOWers of digestion and internal
physical construction, by swallowing.
a quarter pound of. screw nails, 21
small package of carpet tacks and
other small hardware.

Harrison has, according to. his own
statement been swallowing various
articles of hardware for the- past
twelve years constantly as a business
occupation. Mom the: time he was a
mere boy he has been in the habit of
swallowing substances that would kill
ordinary men.

He has seemed to. thrive on the food,
and ' to-day, although only twenty-
eight years old, is as hardy as the
nails he eats, and his muscles and
flesh are as firm as the cast iron he
seems to devour with a relish. He
willingly responded to the request of
the experimental staff of the Univer-
sity of Pennsylvania to have a dear
onstration as to just where and how
the foreign matter is located in his
system.

In the presence of a number of the
medical stafi Harrison swallowed suf«
ficient hardware and nails to kill about
twenty men. The exhibition, to the
gaze of the medical men, seemed hon.
est, and all of them, after examining
his mouth and throat, were satisfied
that the exhibition was bona fide.—

Fosruhes OETHE OLD WORLD.

Croesus’ ‘Vealth not Equal to that Pos-
sessed by the Vanderbilts.

thile reading of the large sums pos-
sessed by modern millionaires, it is in-
teresting to recall the notable fortunes
of ancient days. Croesus, whose name
has become a byword for excessive
wealth, could certainly not have
bought up a Vanderbilt; his whole for-
tune did not much exceed three mil-
lions. A fnr greater sum was left by
the infamous and miserly Tiberius,
who was worth $118,125,000 at his
death, and it is said that his successor,
Caligula, squandered this immense
wealth within a year. Seneca had a
tidy little portion of $17,500,000, which
could have hardly been the case had
his philosophy been pure and unal-
loyed. Appius, discovering that his
treasury contained only $400,000, com-
mitted suicide from fear of poverty; a
single repast cost Lucullus $100,000,
and at one of her banquets Cleopatra
made Antony drink a pearl valued at
$50,000. In extent of fortune, certain
living millionaires may beat the au-
cients, but in the matter of extrava-
gance we think the balance is on the
other side-Scraps.

There in Danger.

“It seems odd,” remarked Mrs. Ten-
spot, “that with all the words in the
English language an ordinary person’s
vocabulary is only 2,500 words."

“It is odd, my dear,” replied her hus-
band, "and it behooves you to be care-
ful.”

“Me careful? Why ‘3”

“You go through your vocabulary so
many times a day there is danger that
you will wear it out.”

Plymouth Rock That Chews Tobacco.

Strange stories of wonderful hap-
penings in the country districts come
from Middles‘ex County, N. J. In
Madison township Charles Hawley, a
farmer and chicken raiser, tells a
marvelous story about 3. Plymouth
Rock lien, which is his pride. The
other day as he was about to put a
wad .of tobacco into his mouth the
fowl snatched it from him and walked
away' chewing it. Hawley pursued,
but could not catch the thief. “It’s
an honest fact,” he says, “that that
hen likes terbacker. I tried her after~
ward, and she will eat whole plugs of
it at a time. I have a hard time of it
now keeping her supplied, although
they do say a hen has no teeth."

 

Hobo, Bulldog and Snake. .

Joseph Morgan, of South Brunswick,
has a farm which lies along Lawrence
Brook. Being bothered by tramps,
he keeps a pugnacious bulldog. Re
cently a tattered hobo walked into
the yard, knocked on the back door
and asked for a meal. The bulldog
started for him. The tramp started
for the back fence. The dog chased
him across the fields in the direction
of the brook. Mr. Morgan pursued.
He saw his dog and his caller disap-
pear through the bushes that skirted
Lawrence Brook. As he hastened
along he heard screams coming from
the bushes, and concluded that his
dog had caught the tramp. When he
parted the bushes he saw the tramp
hanging from a tree limb over the

 

water. Above him was a large black
snake, so he didn’t dare to climb
higher. If he slipped back the dog

would catch him. If he let go his
hold he would get an unwelcome bath.

The farmer stood on the bank laugh-
ing at tiie tramp's plight. Suddenly
the snake began to descend the tree.
The tramp, with a cry, let go and fell
into the brook. The snake and dog
dived after him. That was the last
seen of the snake, but the tramp
emerged immediately with the dog
holding fast to him. The farmer called
the dog OE, and the tramp fled from
the scene, leaving a stream of water
on the ground behind him.

The “'ay to Live. .

Be a lamp in the chamber if you can‘
not be a star in the sky.

Just wait quietly and things always
do come round in the end as well or
better than if you worried.

Never hear more. than one- kind of
trouble at a time. Some people bear
three kinds: All they have had, all
they now have and all they expect to
have.

There are no royal roads to any-
where worth going to.

Life is a half-way house, and each
guest should take contentedly the room
to which he is assigned.

There is no good in- arguing with the
inevitable. The'only argument avail-
