The Honorable J. F.~Greer, one of the
best known and most highly respected
county Judges of the State of Florida,
Writ-es of his horrible sufferings from
I of ~minatory Rheumatism:
OFFICE or J. F. GREER, COUNTY JUDGE, l’
. Green Cove Springs, Clay Co., Fla.
GENTLEMEN : Twenty-three years ago I
was attacked with inflammatory rheumatism.
$1wa5 attended by the most eminent physician
the land. I visited the great Saratoga
Springs, N. Y., the noted Hot Springs of Ar.
kansas, and many other watering places,
always consultin with the local ph Sicians for
directions, and , nally came to lorida, ten
years ago. About two years ago I had a severe
attack of rheumatism, was confined to my
room for twelveweeks, and during that time
was induced to try P. P. P., Lippman‘s Great.
Remedy, knowing that each ingredient was
ood for impurities of the blood. After use-
mg two small bottles I was relieved. At four
different times since I have had slight attacks
and each time I have taken two small bottles
of P. P. P., and have been relieved, and I con.
elder P. P. P. the best'medicine of its kind.
Respectfully. J. F. GREER.
James M. Newton, of Aberdeen, Ohio,
says he bought a bottle of P. P. P. at
Hot Springs, Arkansas, and it did him
more good than three months’ treat-
ment at Hot Springs.
Rheumatism, as well as sciatica and
gout, is cured by a course of P. P. P.,
Lippman’s Great Remedy.
i
P. P. P., Lippman’s Great Remedy, is
a friend indeed to weak women. It is
a positive and speedy cure for general
weakness and nervousness.
All skin diseases are cured by it; any-
thing from pimples to the worst cases
of eczcmas succumbing to the wonder~
ful healing powers of P. P. P.
Dyspepsia and indigestion in their
worst form are cured by it. As a tonic
to restore the appetite and to regain
lost vigor, it is simply marvelous.
P. P. P. is the best spring medicine
in the w p . It removes that heavy,
out-of—sorts feeling and restores you to
a condition of perfect physical health.
For Indigestion, Sick and Nervous

CU RRENT COMMENT.
.- The agitation for good roads which
is being carried on in many parts oi
the country is a healthful sign and the
‘many plans that are being brought
forward for road improvement consti-
tute another. The former is as ye‘.
largely confined to scattered localities
and is not yet backed by a preponder-
ance of public sentiment. In few
states will there be any considerable
number of good roads, if any at all,
constructed under this year’s legisla-
tion; but the movement has been fair-
ly started, public sentiment in its favor
is growing rapidly and it is almost a
foregone conclusion that the legislao
tion of many states, at the next sessions
of their legislatures, will provide for
the betterment of the highways. This
being promised, it will probably oc-
cur to some of the more progressive
legislators, men who are reasonably
sure of their seats at the next session
or men who hope to be elected, to make
a special study of good road making,
in order to take the lead in the .coming
debates on the subject and thereby
acquire distinction and influence. It is
possible, as the state of New Jersey
has recently discovered, to spend a
great deal of money on roads ‘with
very unsatisfélitory results, and it is al-
so possible to make good roads with a
comparatively small expenditure of
money. The wise legislator will study
how to help himself by helping the
state to adopt the latter policy.
As Carter H. Harrison was elected
Mayor of Chicago because he promised
the voters a “wide-open town,” there
has been general curiosity to know
what Mr. Harrison understood by the
term. That curiosity he gratified af-
ter returning from a brief vacation.
Young Mr. Harirson has the courage
of his convictions. He didn’t say any
one thing during the campaign and
mean another. Chicago is to be “wide
open” during his administration, but at
the same time license will not be tol-
erated. The Mayor-elect, for instance,
is disposed to allow orderly saloons to
remain open after midnight. “If a sa-
loon is so bad," he says, “that it ought
to be closed from midnight until 5
o’clock in the morning, I think it ought
to be closed from 5 ’clock in the morn-
ing until midnight.”' Mr. Harrison, re-
calling his newspaper experience, says:
“I found it a great convenience to be
able to get a glass of refreshing beer
after midnight.” He comes out
squarely in favor of the side door on
Sundays. “I see,” he explains, “no ob-
jection to letting saloons open on Sun-
day if the doors are"closed, the blinds
pulled down and order maintained.”
Mr. Harrison’s view is grounded on a
long residence in Germany, where; he
says, he became “liberal about such
matters.”
A few days ago it was announced
that Mr. Peary was to be transferred
from the Brooklyn to the Mare Island
Navy Yard, at San Francisco. This
was looked upon by the friends of this
distinguished American explorer as de-
structive to his plans for the conquest
of the North Pole. Later the Secre-
tary of the Navy revoked his order
and almost simultaneously Mr. Peary
himself announces that the requisite
$150,000 with which to equip and car-
ry out his expendition is in sight, and
that he expects to make a preliminary
journey to North Greenland this sum-
mer. The result may be taken as an
indication that neither the latter nor
President McKinley is averse to Mr.
Peary’s continuing his Polar research-
es. This thought is strengthened by'
the understanding that engineers of
Mr. Peary’s ability are both scarce and
badly needed at Mare Island. The re-
vocation of the'order, therefore, may
be considered as a distinct gain for the
cause of science, for there is every
reason to believe that Mr. Peary’s
plans Will, if they do not actually
bring about a solution of the Polar
mystery, at least add vastly to the
world’s geographical knowledge.
England is apparently bent upon
forcing a war with President Kruger;
doing now directly what Dr. Jameson
was expected to accomplish without
involving the British Government in
an act of treachery to a friendly pow-
er. Dr. Jameson admitted that if he
had succeeded he expected his acts to
be approved by the British Govern-
ment. It is a cowardly business, this
coercion of the little South African Re-
public by a powerful nation like Great
Britain, but “To-Day” frankly ex-
presses the situation when it says:
“By all means let us fight and win the
Transvaal. We are going to fight for
gold mines and territory, if they can-
not be got without fighting. Every na-
tion has to play pirate at times, and let
us play boldly when we do and trust
to Mr. Chamberlain to see flags of
truce kept out of the soldiers’ baggage.
I‘hrice the Boers have seen the flag of
England hoisted on a stick and al-'
ways white. It is time to prove we
have a colored flag.”
The Czar’s order, that convicts sen-
tenced to Siberia shall henceforth be!
carried by rail instead of being forced
to march thousands of miles on foot,
is in the direction of mercy, and will
be received as an- encouraging sign of
progress in one of the least progressive
Governments on earth. V

CURRENT COMMENT,
The old proverb that three moves are
as bad as a fire has been supplemented
with the remark of a Brooklyn man
that two lawyers are equal to bank-
ruptcy. A remarkable case of the law's
'delay and something worse is brought
to public attention by the unusual re-
marks of Justice Hatch, in the Appel-
late Division of the Supreme Court of.
Brooklyn. The case in brief is this:
The plaintiffs sued torecover $6,000
for labor and material expended in
putting up a house for the defendant.
The “defendants denied the liability,
and set up a counter claim for $20,-
520. The case went to a referee in
1892, and there were 144 hearings, with
referee’s and stenographer’s fees rolL
ing up steadily, and finally the defend-
ant’s attorney declined to go on with-
out more money. He had already been
paid $6,600—more, indeed, than the
original claim—41nd he wanted $3,001)
more. At this point the defendant ap-
plied to the court for a substitution of
counsel, and it was Justice Hatch's ro-
marks ‘m granting the request that
placed the extraordinary facts before
the public.
Lorin A. Thurston, ex-Minister from
Hawaii and now special commissioner
to this country, has plainly told the
Senate what the consequences, com.
mercial and political, will be if the ab-
rogation of the reciprocity treaty, as
contemplated by the Dinglegr bill, shall
be. accomplished. John A. Sear'les,
who has gone out to California to look
into the beet sugar industry, and Claus
Spreekels, who controls it there, are
both in favor of abrogation. This
means that the Sugar Trust wants
free Hawaiian sugar shut out. Mr.
Spreckels, before he sold out his prop-
erties in the islands, and while he was
fighting the Sugar Trust, was enthusi-
The merchants
of San Francisco are alarmed. They
perceive that if a tariff wall shall be
erected against the islands 3. great and
profitable trade will be diverted to
Canada.
It appears that C. W. Spalding, who
smashed the Globe Bank, of Chicago,
and misappropriated trust’s funds, had
a pretty typewriter. She was so pret-
ty that he gave her at least $60,000
worth of property. Spalding is over
sixty and the typewriter is twenty.
There ought to be, and doubtless will
be at some time a law regulating the
looks and age of typewriters in the
interest of bank depositors. The ap-
pearance of the typewriter shoxilil be in
inverse ratio "to the amount of'funds
intrusted to her employer. In sober
truth, it would be a capital idea if a
Board of Governing Matrons would
regulate the service of a bank, just as
matrons regulate domestic service. The
contact of handsome typewriters and
men of sixty is one of the financial
problems of the age
A case of connubial infelicity that
came up in the New York Supreme
Court before Judge Pryor is, so far
as is known, the first of its kind to
make an issue of the new woman. Al-
fred Gluck’s wife, who is suing for a
separation was met by the defendant’s
answer that the whole trouble of his
establishment arose from the fact that
Mrs. Gluck belonged to so many wom-
en’s societies that she had no time
whatever to give to her domestic af-
fairs, and that the defendant was com-
pelled to bring his half sister in to look
after his establishment. It is an in-
teresting addendum to Mr. Gluck’s teS«
timony that he mentioned casually
that his wife occasionally “knocked
him breathless.” There is, however,
no apparent intention on his part to
make her Fitzsimrnons' attainments the
result of her belonging to so many
women’s societies.
If Senator Mason of Illinois, had de- '
liberately decided to achieve popular-
ity by a single speech in the Senate
Chamber he could hardly have chosen
a better topic for his maiden speech
than the one which he actually select-
ed. The Illinois Senator made ‘his
debut by entreating the Senate to
modify its methods of procedure, so
as to enable that body to transact
business when a majority of its mem—
bers so desired. In this plea he had
behind him the unanimous sentiment
of the American people.
The Greeks have been despised by
sonic military critics because they
were addicted to commerce and the
arts of- peace; their Hellenic ideal
was ridiculed. But now it is seen and
acknowledged to have a real force.
The fanaticism of the Turk has been
met by a nobler fanaticism. The in-
herited hate of centuries of the Christ-
ian for the Moslem has Converted the
man of commerce, the tiller of .the
soil, and the peaceful shepherd into
fearless warriors.
The election by the Kentucky Legis-
lature of William J. Deboe, Repub-
lican, as United States Senator,- gives
the Republicans forty-three votes in

“TOMBSTONE BROWN’S ORGAN." _
Lacking an Imposing-Stone. a Neighbor-
ing Graveyard Supplied the Want.
One of the most fin de siecle pro-
ducts of far western "wild and woolly"
ism” is “Tombstone Brown.” Brown
had been alternately hobo or tramp
printer, according as climate and op-
portunity dictated, but he finally drift-
ed to California and anchored in Men-
docino and Lake counties. where he
began to take notice in matters social
and political. Brown managed to
scrape together a little money, and one
day he came over the “grade” from
San Francisco with a brand new secs
ond-hand organ, on which were loaded
a Franklin press, a. few fonts of type,
ink, rollers and bundles of paper.
Brown gave it out cold that he was go-
ing to start a paper, but said that the
whole of society was so blank rotten-
that he wouldn’t mingle with it. He
clrgve on through town and on down
into the bottom of a picturesque can-
yon, where be staked out his horses
and began writing the first issue of
his paper. He was the whole shed in
himself. '
When it came to setting the matter
up in type, Brown discovered that he
hadn’t bought any imposing-stone, and
with something of old Ben Franklin’s
“savoir faire,“ the editor made a quiet
sneak into a graveyard, and selecting
a not overprosperous gravestone, he
carried it off to the perambulating
printing office. The stone episode got
out on him, and thence his ' name of
“Tombstone Brown,” but Brown was
not in the least worried, and, turning
the title to account, named his journal
"Tombstone Brown’s Organ,” and he
soon made the county howl. “Brown’s
Organ” had a front seat in every issue
that showed above the grass, and
when one canyon got too warm he
would hitch up and print the next is-
sue a. “little farther on.” The title of
the paper, drawn and engraved by
Brown himself, showed a gigantic
tombstone crushing to earth the em-
blems of opposition. The paper soon
had a great vogue, but “Tombstone”
could not stand success, and when last
seen was moving north with a row of
citizens marching up the grade be-
hind him..——New Orleans Times-Demo-
crat.
A Comparison.
The very loquucious man had come
to a pause in his discourse, and an ad-
mirer took advantage of the lull to
say:

“It doesn’t seem so to me,” replied
the weary-looking lady. “He has plen-
ty of it. It’s like riding a bicycle

enough, but he can’t stop himself.”

An Unnsnl Financial Arrangement Mad: -
for Two Young Persons.
i
There is a very charming family in
New York where the subject of an in,
come for the son and daughter is ar-
ranged most satisfactorily for all con-
cerned. '
The two are now abroad together
completing their education and culti-
vating their respective talents. As far
as finances are concerned, they are ab-
solutely independent, and this is how
it is managed. At the beginning of
their financial year the father in New
York goes to his banker and deposits
to the credit of his son and dang-h
ter each a certain amount of
money, which is to last them the entire
year. It is a comfortable sum, but not
extravagant. when it is considered
that they must pay their tuition, board,
and for their clothes from it during
that time. It is possible that they
might be called upon to economize with
it. At all events, whichever way it
may be, it is all the money they. \will
have for the entire twelve months.
“Do you mean to say that this money
is to be subject to the order of your
son and daughter?" asked the aston-
ished cashier at the bank when the
first deposit was made. “Why, I know
young people who would have a grand
time and spend all that money in three
days.”
“Well,” returned pater families com-
placently, “if my children do that, they
know what they will have to expect;
they will support themselves the re-
mainder of the year.”
But notwithstanding his apparent
complaisance, if the money should be
used unwisely, the hearts of these ex~
ceptionable parents would be sadly
,wrung. An incident emphasizing this
fact occurred during the college days
of the young people, when a similar ar-
rangement was made. The money for
the son was placed in a bank, in a town
to which the college was adjacent, sub-
ject to his order. In the bank was a
relative of the family, who for some '
reason, perhaps from suggestions of ‘
the green-eyed monster, was not ami-
cably inclined to the young man.
At any rate, the mother at home was
filled with horror and dismay one day
at receiving a note from the relative
which read curtly: “Blank has over:
drawn his account. I have made it
good this time, but do not let it occur
again.” '
In great haste she telegraphed money
on to the bank, and then waited in
agony to hear from her son.
had he done?
it? He was only human, like other
boys, and there were so many tempta-
tions that might beset him; but her
boy! It seemed ages before a letter
came. Then there was an explanation.
It was not a temptation‘which had
led him astray; it was bad arithmetic. ‘
He had miscalculated. He had over-
drawn his account to the amount of—<

He Changed His blind.
A man went to a local boxing in-
structor the other day and asked him
how much he would charge him for
twenty-five lessons. The instructor
told him his terms, and the lessons
commenced. After two lessons the
pupil, who was somewhat the worse
for wear, remarked to the professor:
“You see, I wanted to take enough
lessons so that I could learn enough
about the manly art to lick a man.
i’ve changed my mind new. I guess I
will sen-d the fellow down to take the
’rest of the lessons.”—Rochester Dem-

CLOCK MADE OF BICYCLES.
ACurlous Mechanism that will Adorn a
Public Building in Paris.
What is probably the 'oddest clock
ever manufactured has been made by
a Frenchman. It should appeal to
every ._wheelman, for it is constructed
solely 'of bicycles and parts thereof.
It stands eleven and a half feet high,
and is the queerest combination in ap‘
pearance at which any cyclist ever
gazed. Withal, it keeps correct time,
and the man whose duty it is to keep
it in order has a very'easy time of it,
for so delicately is it constructed that
the gain or loss is almost infinitesi-
mal. It bears the appearance at first
glance of a circlet of bicycle wheels
intertwined, in the center being an
immense rim, while within this rim
are the figures that denote time and
the hands that point the hour and the
minute. '
The name of the inventor and the
maker is Alphonse Duhamel. He is a
Parisian clockmaker. The clock will
be placed in one of the public build-
ings of Paris.
His Hammock Under Cars.
A queer character, “Jack, the ham-
mock rider, who lives by his wits,” is
attracting the attention of the people
throughout the State of Michigan.
“J ack’s" hammock is of his own con-
struction and bears the mark of con-
siderable ingenuity. It is designed to
fasten under a sleeping car to aid
“Jack” in “beating” the railroad. The
hammock is made of heavy canvass,
quilted on the inside and fastened to a
stout stick at each end. Two large
iron hooks project from the wooden
rods and by these he attaches his novel
resting place to the two iron bars
which run the length of each side of
the car. A cover is sewed to one side
and almost covers the ends, the sewed
edge being placed toward the engine,
so that the wind pressure will keep
out the dust as the car speeds along.—

that he was usually served with the

Max Muller gives an amusing account
of a sudden visit which Tennyson paid
to his house at Oxford. It was during
the long vacation and no provision had
been made for unexpected guests. Hos-
pitality, howeVer, could scarcely do
less than ask the poet to remain to
dinner, and the invitation was extend-
ed to breakfast the following morning.
Dinner passed off tolerably well, the
only grudge on Tennyson’s part being
against the fish sauce, which was not
to his liking. At breakfast the profes-
sor and his young wife prided them-
selves ou being able to offer a dish of
very tempting cutlets. Tennyson has-
tily removed the cover, and to his host
and hostess’ horror exclaimed in never-
to-be-forgotten accents, “Mutton chops!
