About Fourth Class PostOffices.
Of course, Assistant Postmaster Gen-
eral Maxwell is whacking ofi‘ heads as
fast as possible among the fourth
class Postmasters, says the Philadelphia
Times. He was put there to do it, just
as Headsman Clarkson was put there
four years ago.
The fact that Clarkson made 1,328 ap-
pointments from March 4, 1889, to
. April 3, of which 825 were removals,
. logically made a great many commis-
sions expire during the months of
-‘ March, 1893; but Maxwell hasn’t been
.pmuch more than half equal to his pre-
. decessor, as he managed to make no
more than 878 appointments from the
4th of March until the 3d of April,
only 370 of which were removals.
It will be seen that Headsman Clark-
son removed more than two to one for
Headsman Maxwell as far as the re-
turns are in ; but the howl of the Be-
publicans goes on now allthe same,
just as the Democratic howl went on
four years age. Although Maxwell
hasn’t made removals in half the cases
where Clarkson made removals in 1889,
the only question is whether Maxwell
should be criticised for making any re-
movals at all, or for not making
enough.
The civil service laws don’t take in
,the fourth class Postmasters, and they
are regarded as legitimate party prey
as new political power comes along.
When civil service reform shall be
accepted by all parties whether in or
out of power, there will be hope for
fourth class Postmasters, but until
then, both parties will decapitate them
for party ends, and the party that suf-
fers the decapitationLWill howl about it.
The "Animals' Mass."
“I spent the Christmas holidays in the
Cevennes mountains,“ said Artist Grant
Stewart of London at the Southern yes-
terday. "l was sketching the peasants.
and on N ew Year‘s eve I was invited to
attend the ‘animals’ mass.‘ The church
is a miserably poor, little lichen covered
pile, slowly crumbling to pieces. The
old bell in the steeple is cracked and
gives forth an unnatural sound. How—
ever, on New ¥ear's eve the mountain-
eers. all dressed in their holiday attire,
gather at the little church, and, each
one holding a lighted candle in their
hands, chant an old Cevenol hymn to
the effect that night is more beautiful
than morning. ’l...-u comes the cele-
bration of the mass. There is nothing
unusual about that, but when the ‘Ite.
missa eat is pronounced the priest again
raises the host and chants the ‘Magnifi~
rat‘ and proceeds to the door? followed
by...
by the entire (-«mgregation.
"laieanwzziie :Lil the oxen. cows, sheep
and goats in the pzzrish have been driven
before the open pcrtico of the church.
As the priest appears the drivers and
shepherds fall on their knees and an altar
boy goes in among the cattle, sprinkling
them all with holy water. Excited by
the ceremony. the animals have all risen
to their feet. and the venerable cure
blesses them. The mass is ended ina
loud hosanua, in which every voice—-
including the bellowing of the animals—
is blended, and on New Year’s morning
the hills are as quiet and peaceful as‘
though the animals had never been
blessed. " ——St. Louis Globe-Democrat.
A New German Field Gun.
The new German field gun might be
described as an enlarged rifle, for that is
what it really is. The ammunition, like
rifle cartridges. consists of one piece
only. ignition is produced by a ready
fuse, and the four kinds of projectiles at
present in use—i. e., shell. explosive
shell. shrapnel and grapeshot—give place
to a uniform projectile, an explosive
shell possessing the combined character-
istics of shell and shrapnel. Thus the
possibility of a gunner mistaking in the
heat of battle one projectile for another
will be averted, while the loading, aim-
ing and firm-g besides being quicker—for
{begets arm is loaded and fired in one-
third of the time required in working
the old gun, and the effect and precision
are almost double—will be surer and un-
attended wit danger.
The barrel of the new gun is made of
cast steel, with a caliber of 8 centime-
ters, and the total weight of the gun,
limber and carriage is slightly less than
that of the old artillery weapon. Being
lighter, the mobility of the new gunwill
of course be considerably increased. The
limber and gun carriage are made of iron
and iron plates. The lim’ber box is open
behind near the gun when in action.
The advantage of this-innovation is that
the projectiles can be served out from
the limber and ammunition wagon with
greater rapidity. Another important
feature is that the carriage is supplied
with a brake, which counteracts the re—'
coil, the process of loading and firing be-
ing thus Simplified—London Court J m

A’Revelation whichfwm Astonish
Mostfi‘dple.
And Yet It Is in Reality of Every Day
Occurrence.
The following communication is from
one of our correspondents, Mrs. Carrie
E. Martin. a lady Well known and high-
ly respected and who occupies a posi-
tion of the highest social distinction in
West Leyd'en, Mass. Her experience
is of such a nature and its importance
to many is so great and far-reaching,
that we give it to our readers in her
own words.‘ ' .
"Last summer I was all run. down,
had chills, no appetite, very little sleep
nights and none; days, faint spells,
trembling feelings and was so weak I
could hardly walk around the room. I
continued to run'down in health and
strength until I feared utter nervous
prostration with its untold miseries.
“I sent for our town physician and
he came a good many times." I_ soon
had to give up work entirely, still his
medicines did me nogOod. I tried to
ride out one morning, but went only a
few rods and had to came home. My
husband then went~=to 'church, leaving
me with the hired help and my chil-
dren. Such a terribleday as I spent
tongue cannot describe. I could scarce-
ly get from the couch to a chair.
“When my husband came in from
church I- told him I was worse and that
I would die if I did not get help soon ;
that I would not take any more of the
doctor’s medicine but try Dr. Greene’s
Nervura blood and nerve remedy, if he
thought best. ‘ "
“He advised me to try it, and .went
immediately and got a bottle, which I
began to take ;' up to this time we knew
nothing of its value except as we had
seen it advertised.
MRS. CARRIE E. MARTIN.
_ “In the course of two days our fam-
ily physician came in and, saying that
he found me about the same, finally
told me that he had concluded to ask
for counsel. He informed me that I
might choose any doctor I preferred to
meet him in consultation.
“I said to him. ”then you consider
me pretty badly ull'? ’ -
“He answered, ‘I‘certainly do, and
Shall not prescribe for you again until
some other doctor sees you, as I do not
know what to give you next.’
“I then said to him, ‘perhaps you
will be offended, but I have not taken
any of your medicine for two days but
am taking Dr. Greene’s Nervura blood
and nerve remedy.’
“He answered, ‘I am not offended;
if it will help you I shall be very glad.
You may continue its use a week and if
no better, then we will have counsel.’
“But at the end of a week I was bet-
ter. In two weeks I wasa good deal
better, no chills, no faint feelings, I
could eat some and sleep quite well.
In three weeks I was around and about
the house. In four weeks my hired girl
left me and I went to doing myhouse-
work alone, and have since continued
to do so, with seven in the family.
“Since that time our family physi-
cian has advised its use from time to
time, saying that it would keep up my
strength better. He has advised oth-
ers to take it, telling them of the good
it did me, and to-day I have reason,
yes, great reason, to thank God for my
recovery, and through the use of Dr.
Greene’s N ervura blood and nerve
remedy. I am only too glad to testify
to its merits. God bless Dr. Greene
and his wonderful medicine.”
This remarkable remedy is purely
vegetable and harmless, and can be
procured at any d ug store for $1 per
bottle. Like the a ove able and excel-
lent physician, all doctors of high
standing recommend the sick to use it,
for it cures. It is especially recom-
mended to take as a spring medicine.
Everybody needs a spring medicine and
both physicians and the people unite in
pronouncing this ‘the best of spring
remedies. Use it now, sure. Doctors
prescribe and recommend it because it
is not a patent medicine,buta physi-
cian’s prescription, the discovery of the
eminent specialist, Dr. Greene, of 35
W. 14th Street, New York, who is so
wonderfully successful in curing all
forms of nervous and chronic diseases,
and who can be consulted free, per-
sonally or by, letter.

Belgian Rioters Continue Their Turbu
lent Demonstration. .
BRUSSELS, April 14.—-—There was .a la’rgfi
and excited mob around the chamber of
representatives yesterday when the sea.
siou was resumed. W'hile (ex-Minister

chamber a man attacked him, striking him
violently on the chin with his fist. The
man then tried to escape, but was soon
caught, after trying to draw a. revolver on
his pursuers. ,
A mob of several thousand rioters armed
with paving stones and other missiles
paraded the streets of the lower part of
the city last night. They smashed in the
windows of many cafes and shops as they
marched along. In a conflict between the
rioters and the police several persons were
severely injured. Among the men an
rested were the Socialist leaders, Volders,
Vanderveld and Macsud. The were sub-
sequently released.
There was a savage encounter between
strikers and gendarmes last evening in
the town of Quaregnon, four miles from
Mons. Three thousand strikers had raised
a barricade in the Rue Monsville to pre-
vent the gendarmes from patroling their
beats. The gendarmes repeatedly charged
the mob, and were seriously injured. The
rioters afterward sacked the shop of a
butcher who had supplied the gendarmes
with ropes with which to bind rioters who
had been arrested. The town of Paturages,
near Mons, was also the scene of an en-
counter between the strikers and gen-
darmes. -
Throughout the country the women of
the lower classes are greatly excited over
the strike. Many women with bare arms
and breasts paraded with the strikers in
Ghent.

been effected by a house of representatives

tes of election, and that Mr. Ady had been
legally and fairly elected as senator.

reau, but it is likely that Captain of the
Watch Brannon, a man named Stere and
one or two other persons will be dismissed
. as a result of the investigation.

The newspapers don’t print
all the news for nothing. Here
is an item :
Derby hats with fashionable
hatters’ name inside cost five
dollars ; but the same shapes
here without the name, made
as well, cost only three dollars.
That two dollars will almost
buy another hat. , '
But we beat the world in
other thingsltoo. Those spring
overcoats for instance are the
best we've ever seen-"best
means most luxurious, com-
fortable; well-fitting.
‘ They fit body, mind and
pocketbook. Not a cent wast-
ed, although no pains are
spared. to make them as good
as can be. _
