What Bef‘ell a Veteran of
~the Civi War Long Af-
ter'His Discharge.
An old colonial soldier lying in a
hospital improvised for the occasion af-
ter the battle of Saratoga, was patient-
ly waiting until his time came for ex-
amination, When the physicians sur-
rounded his humble, pallet to probe for
a bullet in his chest, he opened his
shirt bosom, shut his eyes and said,
"I’m ready.” Neither groan, sigh or
cry escaped him, but as the probe
reached the piece of lead he opened his
eyes and said: “Doctor, an inch deep-
er and you will find General Wash-
ington.” In the Revolution and Civil
War the American soldier withstood
hardships that almost equalled those
when Napoleon retreated from Moscow,
and Sir John Moore retired to Corruna.
Disease left its mark and shattered
the strong constitutions of the best.
No organ of the human body suffer-
ed more than the kidneys, and vet-
eran W. R. Green, of 44 Spring
street, South Norwalk, engineer at
Crofut & Knapp’shat factory, only
echoes the experience of thousands of
his comrades, when he says “I was a
boy when I enlisted in the army, and
exposure and hardship weakened me
physically' In the factory we use
under the boilers about two tons of
coal per day, and as I do my own firing
I have to handle it. It was quite a job
foraman who had trouble with his
kidneys, and I was always anxious to
get rid of it. Slight urinary difficulty
set in, and as I noticed an advertise-
ment about Doan’s Kidney Pills curing
such cases I got a box and took them.
After taking the first box my back did
not ache. Ifelt so much better, and
the secretions were natural. I am
recommending Doan’s Kidney Pills to
the workmen in the factory.

A TOWN OF REAL LIVING FREAKS.
Chesterfield, Indiana, the Banner Place
for Curiosities. ‘
The stork who presides over the
State of Indiana has decided to make
urns and freak shows. He new
“bunches” all the abnormal children
and places them in the small town of
Chesterfield. The annual crop of freaks
is taken as a. matter of course by the
300 inhabitants of the little town, most
of whom belo'ng'to the collection. The
tallest man in the world registers
from Chesterfield.
The largest and fattest four-year-
old baby in the State is of this odd
-towuship. He weighs 116 pounds and
is gaining rapidly. His nearest neigh-
bor is a tiny specimen of humanity
who weighs 50 pounds and is 17 years
old.
Opposite live two children, twins,
who are—utterly devoid of sense, even
animal instinct is lacking. ”They nev-
er move unless impelled, and never
crave food. A mother there has spent
fifty-two years in bed, and during this
time has given birth to and raised
eleven children. She is well content-
ed, even happy.
Not the least of the freaks is one who
claims to have discovered perpetual
motion—New York Journal.

_ Inclined Have Little Fear of the Ulti-
mate Result—Mr. Pettus’ Speech.
__Washing~ton, July 2.—The internal
revenue bureau at Washington will
have distributed throughout the coun-
try 175,000,000 war revenue stamps to-
night. The distribution has been going
on for the last week at the rate of from
20,000,000 to 35,000,000 per day. The bu-'
reau Of engraving and pointing will
continue to produce about 25,000,000
stamps per day for some time to come.
and this gfeat output will be placed
where. it can best satisfy the demand.
Requisitions were made by collectors
for about 500,000,000 stamps to cover the
first three months’ business under the
new law. This aggregate amount rep-
resented the collectors’ estimates of
what would be needed during the first
. quarter. . .
The department has. therefore, been
able to furnish about one month’s sup-
ply. Actual experience may show that
these estimates are entirely inadequate
to meet the situation Indeed, a sus-
picion that such is the case prevails
among treasury officials. There are 'ab-
solutely no date upon which to base
estimates of what may be required.
When the old war revenue law was in
force it applied to only little more than
half the country. Since the repeal of
that old law the business of the coun—
try «has increased from eight: to ten—
fold, and commercial conditions have
changed wonderfully. Consequently the
internal revenue officials feel that they
are entering upon an untried experi»
mental field. \
Hawaiian Annexation.
No positive agreement nor even a.
"tacit understanding" has been reached
in the Senate as to annexation, but
opinion is crystallizing that a. conclu-
sion will be reached by the end of next
week. Congressmen, who have been
vainly seeking information for several
days for the governme’t of their per-
sonal programmes, were receiving the
quiet tip yesterday afternoon that they
Will not be taking unreasonable risks
if they plan for freedom after next
week. Hints to that effect have been
in circulation for some time, but until
to-d-ay they lacked the Indorsement of :
anti-annexation authorities.
There is yet a. bare chance of filibus-
ter success, and this chance is contin-
ually kept in view. That is the possi-
ble breaking of a. quorum, butthe an-
nexationists profess to feel no alarm on
that account. The hope of thus tiring
out the majority keeps the opposition
active. '
The Hawaiian annexation resolutions
were taken up ,in the Senate and Mr.
Pettus'of Alabama made the first for-
mal speech “thus-far delivered in their
favor yesterday. . -
He said Hawaiian annexation was not
a. party questiOn and could not be made
so by one man or .a. few men. “Even
if it were a party question,” said he.
“we were all Americans, and, I hope,
patriots, before we joined any party.”
Mr. Pettus then entered upon a. legal
and constitutional argument in sup-
port of the resolutions, taking sharp
issue with Mr. Bacon of Georgia, who
had. antagonized the resolutions-on con.-
stl‘tutlonal grounds. He maintained
that no lowyer,'no courtficould“ con-
strue correctly one provision of the
constitution without considering all
other parts of the instrument.
While Mr. Pettus was defining some
of the powers of Congress, Mr. Mallory
of Florida‘lnqulred: ' “Hu’Congre’ss the
power to make peace?"
"It has the power to make peace as
well as war." responded the Alabama
senator. “Can a president make peace?
Never. Of course I admit that the
president has the power to make trea-
ties, but. only under such limitations
as I have alluded to."
Mr. Pettus took issue with 'Mr. Caf-
fery of Louisiana, who had argued that
the acquiSItion of Louisiana. territory
by act of Congress was unconstitution-
al.
Mr. Pettus ridiculed Mr. Caffery’s ar-
gument that the question ought to be
submitted to the people of Hawaii. He
said such an argument had a. moral,
but no constitutional bearing and while
it might be a. fit presentation to chil-
dren lln the nursery it would have no
force with senators.
lescent.
Mr. Pettus had begun a. discussion
of the present war When he was inter-
rupted by his colleague, Mr. Morgan,
who read an Associated Press dispatch
from Plfiya del Esta. announcing that
the battle of Santiago had begun, and
fighting was proceeding along the en-
tire line. . ~
“Yes, Mr. President,” said Mr..Pet-
tus, “the fight is going on along the en-
tire line and it behooves every man,
adolescent or senile, to support the
government, to support the army and
the navy of the United States in all his
actions. We ought to support the presi.
dent of the United States. How many
will die in the fight nobody can say.
But ‘I pray God that those brave men
of ours, if die they must, may die with
shouts of victory in their ears."
The House passed a few minor bills
and‘agreed to adjourn until Tuesday.
Camera}: Fleet.
London, July 2.—‘The officials of the
United States embassy discredit the
Madrid dispatch saying, Admiral Ca-
mara has passed through the Suez ca-
nal. They say he had not entered the

Even if Camera-had entered (the ca-
nal with his first ship he could not take

What we have won with our blood,
what we have won at the cost of life,
that we will never give up. What has
been won by saving life is none the
less a conquest; and it is by restOring
health and saving life that California.
Catarrh Cure has won the first place in
the esteem of Norwalk people. That
place it will always hold, because by
rapid advance in popular favor, won its
almOst instantaneous relief of the
worst sufierings, has been followed up
and secured by thousands of perma-
nent cures. Its popularity is lasting,
because it rests upon cases like this:
Mrs. William W. Bloom, who lives
at7-«-Water street, Norwalk, says: “I
have been troubled with catarrh in my
head and threat for some time. My
whole head was stuffed up; the passages
of my head and throat would at times
become so filled with mucous that I
could not talk, and altogether it was
very annoying. I also suffered a. great
deal of the time with headaches. I
got a bottle of California Catarrh Cure
at Plaisted’s drug store in South Nor-
walk, and i think it is the greatest
stuff in the world. It has cured me of
all the disagreeable suffering I' have
had for so long; my throat troubles me
no more, and I haven’t had a headache
for weeks. I have recommended it to
several friends who have used it with
satisfactory results, and we all unite in
saying it is a wonderful medicine. ”
C. C. C. is also invaluable for break-
ing up colds and preventing colds
“hanging on;” it will absolutely. pre.
vent an attack of hay fever if used
faithfully for several weeks before the.
season, and used at any time it gives
great relief in all mucous diseases. All
