Story of a Slave.
To be bound hand and foot for years
by the chains of disease is the worst
‘form of slavei v. George D. Williams
of Manchester, Mich. ,tells. how such
a slave was made flee. He says: “ My
wife has been so helpless fo‘r live yeals
that she could not turn over in bed
alone. After using two bottles of Elec—
tric Bitters, she is wonderfully im-
proved and able to do her own work. ’s
This supreme remedy for female dis—
eases quickly cures ner vousness, sleep-
lessness,1nelancholv. headache, back-

miracle working medicine is a godsend

THE OTHER FELLOWS.
The woman with a handkerchief has
been practicing wireless telegraphy for
many years. Perhaps the signal ser-
vice and wireless telegraphy grew out
of the naive and expert use of the
handkerchief.—Norwich Bulletin.
'The examination of the eyes of the
school children in this city is a wise
and timely measure. The spectacle of
children wearing spectacles is getting
more and more common, and it is time
_ to find out what’s the matter with the
pupils’ pupils—New Haven Palladium.
.‘.-bill to prohibit policemen from
joining political organizations is being

senate. Has any man in this state
blood enough to present such a bill at

Queer that these Western socialistic
politicians, Pingree, Tom Johnson,
Jones of Toledo, are all millionaires.
They all got their money first, and their
beautiful ideas afterwards—Hartford

The Philadelphia North American
calls attention to the fact that the
city water can now be poured out.
From this we should judge that it
must have reached a state like the
water of Kansas City which was said
'to be best sliced and buttered. —-Nor~

The Manet Investigating Committee
has merely lifted one cprne-r of the lid
of municipal government in New York
and forthwith issued a nauseating
stream of nepotism, blackmail, favOrit-
ism and corruption. It was shown that
the Roeb‘ling Construction Company
could obtain no contract from the Tam-
many Building Department until Frank
Croker, a son of Richard Croker, be-
came a member of the firm; then the
Roebling company secured a rich men-
opoly of city work. It further appeared
that a nephew of Croker, named Mc-
Cann, who had been newly admitted
to the bar and had no practice, receiv-
ed a $5,000 fee merely for speaking to
the building commission in favor of an
application for a contract. The onus
is up to Richard Croker already.~—'

.MATJCHMAKING ’IN JAPAN.
"The Nakoda, .or Midwoman, Often
Empl‘omed to Awaken the ‘Ten-
der Passion. ’
There exists inJapan, among some of
the classes, a certain custom of hiring a
midwoman, nakoda, or professional
I matchmaker, in order to make an en-
gagement between a couple, writes
Onoto Watann—a in the April Ladies‘
Home Journal. It often happens that
a family: will desire .an alliance with an-
other family with Whom they are not
intimately acquainted. Then are the
services of the professional match-
maker invaluable. To be successful in
such a profession one must never be
known as such to the family she de-
en es to court Very often nakodas and
midwomen follow this profession for
years and yet are not known as such
same to those VV 110 have employed them.
Most of the matchmakers are very hon-
est, and it is their duty to discover all
the good and bad points of the couple
and point them out to the pal cnts; they
give Good advice and ooesery thing pos-
sible to promote the happiness of the
pair. They travel back and forth to the
homes of the youn'gpeople, who are
entirely ignorant of their motive, car-
rying compliments and presents and
trying in a delicate manner to work 'on
their sentiment.

‘.. ' inn-ears Wisll to Return.
WASHINGTON, April 17.—The desire
of the volunteers to return-to this coun»
try is evidenced in a report which shows.
that of those who have been offered op-
portunity to re-enlist, with the offer of
a bonus in travel pay of over $500, only
about 7 per cent will accept.~ The vol-
unteers, it is stated, desire to come
home by organizations instead of indi-
vidually. Discharges of individual sol<
diers have been brought about by con-
gressional pressure, ,but as a rule Gen-
eral Otis has been disapproving all ap-
plications for discharges except in the
cases of sick or wounded and disabled
soldiers.
Change In Berlin's Government.
BERLIN, April 17.—The entire Ger-
man press is greatly alarmed by the
news published here that Emperor ‘11-
Iiam intends to introduce in the Prus-
sian diet a government measure creat-
ing the city of Berlin and its suburbs
into a separate province and largely de-
stroying the present self government. of
the municipality. The Berliner Tage-
blatt publishes further details of the
plan, which, it says, has existed for
some time. Der Reichsbote and other
conservative papers approve the proj-
ect.
Secretary Porter Resigns.
WASHINGTON, April 17.——John Ad-
dison Porter, secretary to the president,
who has been ill for two or three weeks,
has informed Mr. McKinley that the
condition of his health will not permit
him to continue the duties of the office,
and he has therefore tendered his resig- '
nation. The indications are that he
will be succeeded by George B. Cortel.

Probably No Choice.
HARRISBURG, .April 1-7.—The legis-
lature will adjourn sine die at noon on
Thursday next in accordance with a
joint resolution adopted early in the
session fixing April 20 as the date for
final adjournment. The outlook at pres-
ent indicates adjournment without the
election of a United States senator. The
selection of ex-Unlted States Senator
Quay to succeed himself is scarcely pos—
sible under the existing strained Iela-
tlons of the factions. '5’
