Since the investigations of the claims made for Dr. Kennedy’s Favorite Remedy by the press, they have re- ceived letters from every State in the Union, and find the remedy fails' 1n few cases. The opinion of the average physician has been that kidney and urinary troubles could be cured only by long and persistent treatment. Dr. David Kennedy’s Favorite Remedy acts quick- ly, curing obstinate cases in a very short time. n One of our best known citizens, Mr. John J. Neill, of N o. 2437 North Eighth street, was a sufferer from gravel, in speaking of his case said: “I had a very bad attack of gravel and D1. David Kennedy’ s Favorite Remedy, taken about one month,- completely cured me. I cannot say too much in its favor.” Favorite Remedy is prescribed with unfailing success for all diseases brought about by an excess of uric acid in the blood. In rheumatism, dyspep- sia, and nerve. troubles, it has made many cures that were considered be- yond the aid of medicine. Dr. David Kennedy’s Favorite Remedy can be obtained of all druggists at one dollar a bottle, or six bottles for five dollars. Phila. Pa., Item.

Sick from Cuba. 22.—The camp oflicials- received a. de-_ cided setback yesterday, when a trans- port arrived from Cuba, having on board sick and convalescent soldiers from the hospital at Siboney, and bringing one unmistakable case of yel- low fever. The transport was the Segurance. She has not yet been boarded. The boarding officer, Dr. Magruder, had been ordered back to Washington, as no yellow fever cases were expected. and when the transport arrived there officer to go out to her. General Wheeler, who is again in Greenleaf, who has been superintend- ing the hospital work, and it was de- cided to send one of the surgeons from the camp to inspect the Seguranca. How many soldiers she has on board is not known yet. The arrNal of the ship will necessi- tate the opening again of a. detention hospital. This will be established be- hind the headquarters occupied by Gen- eral Shaffer While he was in the camp. All the sick from the Seguranca will be sent to the detention hospital as soon as they are’flanded. THE ARMY iN PORTO Rico. A... _ I V"- ~ Request 1‘3 Recall of Certain Regiments Giving the President Concern Washington, Sept. 22. —Representative Stone of Pennsylvania saw the presi- dent yesterday in an effort to have the Pennsylvania troops, at present in the field in Porto Rico, recalled, and others substituted :in their places. The presi- dent promised to give attention to the request. Others who talked with the president yesterday say that the general subject of the recall of Porto Rico troops is giv- ing him some concern, as is also the question of the discharge of individual soldiers in this and other departments of the army. Many applications are daily made for such discharges, and to some of them the president given personal atten- tion. - He has laid down no general rule for conduct in such matters, but allows the circumstatnces i neach case to con- trol.

At plesent there is not even berth— lng room at the yaid for her and until some of the other vessels are ordered- away or taken out of dry dock it is probable that the B1 ooklyn will remain anchored in the bay.

Miss Bracken, the Only Female Maker 0' _ Death-Masks in the \Vorld. , Miss Julia M. Bracken of Chicago is probably the only woman in the world who has made a practical study of death masks. Few men and fewer women have thecourage for the grew- some work, but for years this young Woman has made death masks of Chi- cago’s notabilitits who have passed away. As she prefers to make the mask before embalmment, her sum- mons generally precedes that of the undertaker; consequently, she is liable to be called at any hour, and as fre-. quently makes a mask at midnight as. ‘at noonday. She works alone in the chamber of death, though occasionally a member of the family begs for the privilege of watclnng her at her stiange task. In -th'e.making of a death mask there are a thousand and one details to con- sider. First of all, the face must be carefully prepared with soap‘and oils: Miss Bracken’s method of treating the beard, eyelaShes and hair is marvel- ously successfiil, for the dead must never be disfighréd when the model is removed. There must be a perfect distribution of the plaster, otherwise the weight might destroy the contour, as there is constant danger of press- ing the mouth and eyes open, of flat- tening the nose and sagging the cheeks and the lower part of the face. Miss ~Bracken makes-a mask in two pieces, the dividing thread being in the center of the face, thus allowing it to slip ofl‘ easily from the ears and jaw. Her work has to be done with all possible speed, as the plaster sets quickly, and must be taken oil? just an instant before it hardens, for if allowed to remain too long the result is disastrous, and if removed too soon it settles into false lines and is value- less. After the removal of the mask the face must be thoroughly cleansed of plaster. ' Miss Bracken is singularly success- ful in making these masks, but when she brings her work to perfection in bronze or marble, she displays the quality of her genius, for the making of masks is the least of her accom- plishments. She has modeled from' childhood and has supported herself by her art since she was fourteen. Eleven years ago she began studying with Dorado Taft, and for a year was one of his chief assistants in, design- ing and modelling the colossal figures for the World’s Fair buildings. She received a commission from the state to model the figure of Illinois welcom- ing the nations, which is now in bronze - at the capital'building in’Springfield. She has accomplished a. large amount. of monumental work for battle fields , "and public places, perhaps the most conspicuous being a relief, full of splendid action, for a monument at Missionary Ridge. As a carver of wood she is also ex- . ccedingly clever. Personally, Miss Bracken is somewhat girlish in figure, with a tender, thoughtful face, and a frame that seems physically un- equal to rthe great work she has ac- complished.—Su‘ccess. Science in Timber Buying. Timber cut in summer represents a lower value than that felled in winter, and it is of great importance to buy- ers to know when a trunk was hewn. Timber hewn during the resting peri- od—i. e., between Ociober and April —contains in. its cells numerous starch particles which cannot be found in wood cut down in summer. This starch closes the pores and the wood becomes coarse and impenetrable. This is the reason that winter hewn tim- her is exclusively employed for sitaves. Made with staves from summervhewn wood, the barrels leak and the con- tents may evaporate through the pores. A sum test is the use of iodine, which gives the starch in the winter wood a violet color. If the timber to be examined is coated with an iodine solution and the surface of the fellingr side shows yellow, it may be taken as a certainty that the tree was out down in summer. The light-yellow lines are the moisture rays, while cells, tissue and wood fibers simply take on a yel- low coloring. In winter-hewn timber the amylaceous rays form much dark- er, ink-colored,- black stripes on the yellow ground. \Vlly thel’rayers “'ere Shortened. A Kansas City stockman tells story about Genelal Miles: When General Miles was fighting the Indians he always held a short period of‘prayer before entering into an engagement. On one occasion he had followed the Indian trial for sev- eral days and came upon them in the middle of the afternoon. He immedi- ately went intohis season of prayer. The chaplain who accompanied the expedition was exceedingly long wind- ed. In faci. he seemed to forget that he was out on the prairie, within reach of a hostile foe, and labored in true camp meeting style. _.When he had finished his request to the Almighty that General Miles might come out victorious in the righteous cause, it was suddenly announced that the en- emy had flanked to the army’s rear and stolen all the pack animals. Miles was disconsolate and made an order that prayers should be curtailed—New York Tribune. this A Common Case. “Has Mr. Quacious given anything to help the United States along in its War with Spain?” “In some respects he has been among the most liberal ofvour moneyed men.-n “What has be given?" _ “Advice.."——Detroit Free Press.
