In a short time Mrs. Jefferson Da-
vis will be the guest of Mrs. U. 8.
Grant at the latter’s residence on the
Hudson. We trust the kisses over
the bloody chasm these distinguished
ladies indulge in will have a tendency
towards mollifying the hatred for the
South which still rankles in the bos-
om of certain sections of the North
and upon which the numerous hand-
shakings over that gory abyss have
created no friendly impression.
The majority of delegates in the
judicial convention at Little Rock
today are lawyers and properly so.
It is not a case in which it may be
said that too many legal cooks spoil
the judicial broth. The men to be
selected are lawyers the men delegat-
ed to make the selection are limbs of
the law and the office to which the
candidates are nominated is one in
which the laws of the state are to be
construed. The whole affair has
therefore strictly a legal aspect.
The failure of the defense to put
Lizzie Borden on the stand which
has been used by self constituted
juries as a damning proof of her
guilt did not surprise any lawyer or
other person versed in criminal law.
Every accused person has the right
to refuse to testify and the law pro-
tects this right by providing that the
prosecution is not permitted to com-
ment on the fact nor the jury to
draw any'unfavorable inference from
it. As a correct principle of law this
proposition will not be questioned by
any intelligent well-read lawyer. But
then there are so many people who
doubt a thing simply because through
ignorance they fail to understand it.
Nearly one million dollars in gold
started on its way westward from
Europe yesterday. This is not a very
large amount but it is worth while
noticing just to give an idea of the
direction in which the yellow stuff is
drifting. All must admit that this
great result has been brought about
by the magnificent courage of one
man and his unshaken determination
in the face of every obstacle and op-
position to administer the affairs of
that branch of the government over
which he was called to preside in the
interest of the whole people. Such
has been the course of Secretary
Carlisle in administering the affairs
of his office at a most critical period
of financial depression.
Some time ago the British parlia-
ment appointed a committee to in-
quire into the treatment of habitual
drunkards. It is a unanimous and
emphatic report and proposes to
treat the habitual drunkard as if he
was an entirely irresponsible person
almost precisely as we now treat
lunatics. When brought before a
magistrate he is not to be sentenced
to jail for a stated term but to a
dipsomaniac asylum there to be kept
until cured. But it is asked if we
are to treat him in this fashion what
becomes of the responsibility of the
drunkard for the injury material
and moral which he inflicts upon
others and upon himself? Can we at
the same time deal with him as if he
were a lunatic rob him of his liberty
for an indefinite period though he
has commited no overt offence against
the law and yet hold him in morals
strictly responsible for his excess?
This is a question much easier asked
than answered. Yet we might ask
the same question about the lunatic
who is confined and kept captive that
he may neither harm himself nor his
neighbor.
When next pension day comes
around thrre will be some disagreea-
bly surprised men among those who
will apply for their checks at several
of the pension agencies throughout
the country. The failure to receive
the customary check will be the first
notice these men will have that they
have been dropped from the pension
roll as a result of the examination
now being conducted by a select
committee of examiners of all the
pensions granted under Raum’s con-
struction of the act of 1890. Al-
though this work has just commenc-
ed many names have already been
dropped and ninny more will follow.
The men who are being dropped by
this committee are not (strictly speak-
ing) fraud lent pensioners although
they have drawn public money to
which they were not entitled. The
wrong was committed by Raum in so ;
construing the law as to make them
eligible for pensions and for that
reason it is not probable that any at-
tempt will be made to recover the
money already paid to those who
have been or will be dropped as will
be done in cases where the pensioner
got on the roll by fraudulent acts of
his own.
Deafness Cannot be Cured
by local applications as they cannot
reach the disease portion of the ear’
There is only one way to cure deaf-
ness and that is by constitutional
remedies. Deafness is caused by an
inflamed condition of the mucous lin-
ing of the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube gets inflamed you have a
rumbling sound or imperfect hearing
and when it is entirely closed deaf-
ness is the result and unless the in-
flamation can be taken out and this
tube restored to its normal condition
hearing will be destroyed forever;
nine cases out ten are caused by ca-
tarrh which is nothing but an in-
flamed condition of the mucous sur-
faces.
We will give one hundred dollars
for any case of deafness (caused by
catarrh) that cannot be cured by Hall’s
Catarrh Cure. Send for circulars

THE NEW YORK
FAMILY BTC RY PAPER
for isosi.
FHOSFEOTVS.
In beginning the eighteenth year of its successful career it is with a feeling of just
pride that the publisher of the
New York Family Story Paper
states that this great journal has double the circulation of any family story paper in the
world. This claim which its competitors are invited to investigate can easily bo verified.
The pre-eminence thus acquired can be achieved only by merit. The
jeading public will buy that paper which best satisfies their desire for stories of the high-
est literary merit and most interesting character. And the enormous circulation of the
New York Family Story proves that it has done this.
All the Great Features of the Paper
to which it owes its success of the past will be zealously guarded m the coming year. Its
distinguished staff of authors among whom may be mentioned Mary Kyle Dallas Nellie
Bly Abi S. Jackman Chailotte M. Kingsley “Girlie” May. Emma Garrison Jones Char-
lotte M. Stanley T. W. Hanshew E. Burke Collins and others equally famous will be re-
tained its artistic excellence maintained its beautiful typographical appearance preserved
and the same judicious editorial supervision exercised to keep the tone of the paper as pure
and moral as it has been from its inception.
No Expense of Time or Money
will be spared to add new and attractive features. Standing as it does like a beacon light
above all its contemporaries the New York Family Story Papea cannot help attracting to
Its columns all that is brightest and best in modern fiction.
IT IS THE FAMILY PAPER.
