Everybody who is weak, delicate or sickly wants to get well. Dr. Greene, of 35 West 14th st., New York City, makesaspccialty of ,treating patients through letter correspondence. The wisest thing all suffering people can do is to write the Doctor, stating just how they feel, mentioning every symptom of which they complain, and he will answer theletter, explaining each symp- tom and describing the case so thor- oughly that patients understand their complaint as well as though they had talked with the Doctor. He makes his explanations so clear that they cannot help but understand just what ailsihem, and he tells exactly what to do to get well. It saves a journey to the city and doctor’s fees, and costs nothing. Dr. Greene is the most successful specialist in curing nervous and chronic diseases. He is the discoverer of that wonderful medicine, Dr. Greene’s Nervura blood and nerve remedy. Thousands are be— ing cured through his perfect system of letter correspondence. It has been proved successful. List of Patents. List of patents issued from the U. 8.

Belief That Governor Clark’s Interference Will Now Cease—The Pugillsts to Give Bonds, Get Together and Pummel Each Other. HOT SPRINGS, Ark., Nov. 1.—Every- body and everything is ready for the Cor- bett-Fitzsimmons fight, except one of the principals and the governor. Sporting men are arriving in crowds by every train, all eager, expectant and con? fident. There is not a man among them who does not expect to see a. fight before‘ he goes away, even though he may feel dis- appointed at the prospect to pull off the mill on schedule time. . Bob Fitzsimmons was arrested last night at Texarcana, together with his - custodian, Sheriff Houpt. There are those unkind enough to intimate that Lanky Bob is pleaSed at the situation. Sheriff Houpt is not tickled to death, though. Sheriff Houpt, in accordance with the plan of the local authorities, who are just aching to get the pugilists together, crossed the state line and boarded the train on which Fitzsimmons was coming to Malvern. He formally took Fitzsimmons into cus- tody, and then privately informed him that Joe Vendig had aspecial train in waiting ready to whisk him into Hot Springs without the possibility of inter- ference. They discusScd the matter for nearly 20 minutes. Fitzsimmons argued that he must be assured that the special train ar- rangement was no trap of Vendig’s. Finally the big New Zealander flatly rc- fused to go in that train and boarded the regular-train, with Houpt and his party. The Governor’s Man Wine. The Miller county sheriff got aboard as soon as the train was across the line, and arrested Fitzsimmons and Houpt. Martin Julian, Fitzsimmons’ manager, was also taken in charge. They are now in Little Rock. Even this situation was no damp- cr to the hopes of the citizens’ committee. Brady and Corbett have also gone to the state capital, and the fighters and their managers will all furnish peace bonds. At Whittington park a 24 foot ring has been arranged, and all is in readiness to go on with the fight at a. moment’s notice. Corbett will appear there in order to fulfill his contract that he would be ready to fight before the Florida Athletic club. Every citizen of this place fully expect- ed that this morning’s train would unload oil the militia. in the state at the little depot. On trains coming from the north it was reported that between 400 and 600 armed men woul be taken up at points along the line, and that Governor Clark would positively declare martial law. It is a fact that the militia was called under arms, but late last night Governor Clark changed his purpose and told the commanders that their services would not be needed. It looks as though the governor had re- ceded from his position and altered his de- termination to stop the fight. That the matter will go to the courts is certain, and the proceedings at Little Book will proba- bly settle the case of the men and the backers. Clark’s Opposition Ended. It is taken for granted that Governor Clark’s opposition will end there. This means that all will give bonds to keep the peace, return to Hot Springs and go on with the fight as though nothing had oc- curred to break in upon the harmony of the proceedings. The bonds will probably be $5,000. Fighting under this bond, the men may be liable to indictment for misdemeanor. The amount of the bond is intimated by Attorney General Kinsworthy. Even then it will be necessary for the grand jury to find a true bill against, them. No session of the grand jury will be held until March next, by which time the breeze of constitutional questions now ' agitating the pugilistic atmosphere will have subsided somewhat, leaving it an open question whether the men will even be indicted. John L. Sullivan, Parson Davies, Pad- dy Ryan and Tommy Ryan, who was to fight Billy Smith, arrived today on a spe- cial train from Chicago, together with about 300 sports from the north. A Child Dying of Drink. NEW YORK, Nov. 1.—A 5-year-old Ital- ian girl is dying from drink in the alco- holic ward of Bellovue hospital.

Y., Nov. 1.—The jury in the case of Mrs. Harriet Keller, on trial for the killing of Albert Kempthorne, ren- dered a verdict of murder in the second degree. Justice McLennan sentenced her to Auburn prison for life. The prisoner uttered a piercing shriek and fell to the floor unconscious. Irish Appeal For Portland Prisoners.

The manatec belongs to a mammalian order called sirenia, or seacows, which contains only three species—our mana- tee, that of west Africa and the dugong of Australia. As its clumsy form sug- gests, it is an animal of quiet and even sluggish habits, entirely harmless and easily taken when once its haunts are known. When at home, its food consists offender aquatic plants and grasses, al- ways eaten under water, and its presence is generally revealed by the bits of bro- ken stems and grass which escape and float to the surface above where it is . feeding. . In captivity it feeds on cabbage, let- . tuce, the leaves of the canna, celery tops, watercress, spinach, and also cer- tain kinds of ocean seaweed. In the St. Lucie river its favorite food is a luxuri- ant, trailing aquatic grass, called man-4 atee grass, in which the manatee finds not only good food, but good hiding places from its human enemies. , The bones of this animal are massive, solid and quite heavy (some hunters will tell you its bones are “solid ivory”), and its skin is as thick and tough as that of a hippopotamus. I have seen very good canes made of strips of man— atee skin, twisted like a lightning rod and dried. Its flesh is very good, and, to me, ‘it tastes quite like lean pork, Curiously enough, this strange creature actually sheds its outer skin every year, as does a serpent. The living specimens that from time to time have been cap- tured and kept for exhibition in Deme- rara, Philadelphia, New York and Lon- don have in all cases been of small or medium size, varying in length from 4 to 7 feet. The one which was shown in the Central park menageriein 1873 was 6 feet 9% inches in length and weighed 450 pounds.-—~W. T. Hornaday in St. Nicholas. A FAMOUS MAN’S MOTHER. Thomas Wentworth Higginson's Beautiful Tribute to His liIother. I trace to my mother’s direct influence three leading motives of her youngest son’s life—the love of personal liberty, of religious freedom and of the equality - of the sexes—writes Thomas Wentworth Higginson in The Ladies’ Home Jour' nal. As to the more subtle and intimate influences, they ordinarily came by con- tact, not by preaching. She always maintained that the younger (Trildren of a large family had a much better chance for development than the elder because they had more freedom to develop them- selves. With her elder tliildren, she al- ways said, overconscientiousness almost bore her to the earth. She felt person- ally responsible for every childish fault. She had been reared in the school of Locke, which regarded the human soul as blank paper, on which. parents and teachers did all the writing. But her children wore of strong and varied indi- viduality, and she learned in time to study the f mperament of each and be patient w! 31 its unfolding. Her whole formula oi training consisted in these three things: To retain the entire confi- dence of the child, to do whatever seem— ed wisest and to be patient. Her trust in Providence was absolute and control- ling, as was her sense of the personality of the Deity. Most valuable of all her traits to her children next to her quality of sunshine was probably her absolute rectitude, the elevation of her whole tone, the com— plete unworldliness, so that no child of hers ever heard her refer to any stand- ard but the highest. With all this was combined the conscientious accuracy in affairs, the exquisite nicetyin all house— hold details, which belong to the best of the traditions of New England. The Contagion offlldeas. Affirmation, pure and simple, with— out reasoning and without proof, is one of the surest means, of planting an idea. in the popular mind. The more concise it is, the more free from every appear- ance of proofs and demonstration, the more authority it has. The religious books and the codes of all ages have al- ways proceeded by simple affirmation. Statesman called upop to defend any political came and mmiufacturers ad- vertising their goods know what it is vorth. Yet it has no real influence, ex- cept it is constantly repeated and so far as possible in the some terms. Na- poleousaid that repetitiOn was the only serious figure in rhetoric. By repetition an affirmation is incrusted in the minds of hearers till they at last accept it as a. demonstrated truth. What is called. the current of opinion is formed, and then the potent «mechanism of contagion comes in. Ideas that have reached a cer- tain stage, in fact, possess a contagious power as intense as that (if microbes. Not fear and courage only are contagi- ous. Ideas are, too. on condition that they are repeated often enough. When the mechanism of contagion has begun to work, the idea enters upon the phase that leads to success. Opin- ion, which repelled it at first, ends by tolerating and then accepting it. The idea henceforward gains a penetrating and subtle force which sends it om‘ard, while at the same time creating a sort of special atmosphere, a general way of thinking. —Popular Science Monthly. One of the Three. A bold and fearless statement was made in this column a few days ago touching beauty. It was put forth that there were only three actresses on earth who could lay an honest claim to beauty. “Clara vM.” writes that her curiosity has been aroused and wants to know who the three are. Now, it would b? very ung‘allant to say. The statemen has all the actresses in the world guess- ing, and until the names of the. three favorites will believe she is onevof them. Why spoil their fun? What is the use of calling names to make people feel in: jured and slighted and misunderstood? I do not doubt that Miss G-lara' M., if she be an actress, could lay an honest claim to recognition as one of the three. ——New York Press. . .. are mentioned each of our footlight . MINING OF PHOSPHATES. Where Deposits Are Found and How , ~ They Are Prepared. The Florida phosphate deposits are of great importance, yet their existence was discovered so recently and their extent is still so uncertain that few per- sons not engaged in the sale of fertiliz- ing materials have much knowledge of the large industry which has sprung up in the Peninsular State. It has practical- ly created a new city—Ocala—which .had a population of but a few hundred in 1870, but is now a. thriving business center with modern improvements, banking facilities and ample railway and transportation facilities. Engineer- ing, the leading engineering journal of the world, makes ' the following state- ments concerning the region, which are of Considerable interest as coming from‘ an unbiased 'source: “There is no phos- phate region in the world known today that possesses so many advantages for successful mining as the Florida depos- its.

CHICAGO, Nov. 1.——'._'7 aicrxgoaus were alarmed a few minutes after 5 o’clock by feeling a. distinct earthquake shock. The vibrations, which were felt plainly all over the city, were severe enough to shake objects on the mantcls or desks in the tall buildings, and tenants and passersby on the sidewalks, fearing that some of the skyscrapers might take a. tumble, made haste to get on streets where there was less danger. At the Twenty-second Street police sta- tion ' the severity of the disturbance was such as to overturn an inkstand on the sergeant’s desk. Reports are coming in from all over the city from persons who noticed the earthquake and from towns as far north as Janesvllle, Wis. ST. LOUIS, Nov. 1.—A distinct earth- quake shock was felt here.

The machinery needed to mine and prepare the material is simple and inexpensive compared with that generally used in of a plant with sufficient land tO‘ work upon is within the reach of small in- vestors. The working days at the mines are about 280 during the year. The cli- mate is healthful, laborers readily ob- tained at a fair compensation, and skilled Operatives are at band who are becoming familiar with the business. ‘ ‘The mining camps are generally well regulated, and proprietors and employ- ees can reside at the mines with safety and with little inconvenience, as sup- plies of all kinds can be readily obtain- ed at the towns located in the near vicinity of all the large mining fields. Telegraph and mail facilities are within easy access of nearly every mining camp in the state. Florida. phosphates are are manufactured England, Ireland, Germany, France, and quite recently shipments have been made to the Sandwich Islands. Foreign agents of consumers and dealers in phos- phates have their offices near the center of production, and contracts for deliv- ery and prices are commonly fixed at points of shipment, the material being. sold at a price per unit of its contents of phosphate of lime. The Florida. phos- phates are all used in the manufacture of commercial fertilizers and superphos photo. ”—Boston Transcript. A Redeeming Feature.
