remedy is in no sense a nostrum
but is a specific for this disease
only, and is so skillfully de
vised and prepared that it is
thoroughly.soluble and pleasant
to the taste, so that it can be
given in a cup of tea or coffee
without the knowledge of the

Clock a Weather Prophet.
A novel method of predicting
the weather has been discov
ered by Prof. A Tommasina, a
French scientist- He uses for
this purpose an instrument
which he calls an ''electrical
radiophone." By means of it
he can ascertain the exact na
ture of the electrical currents in
the air at any moment, since
the instrument is fitted with a
clockwork arrangement, which
registers the precise quality of
each current. There are also
several bells in the instrument,
which registers the precise qual
ity of each current. There are
also several beUs in the instru
ment, each of which is bound to
ring whenever it is affected by
a particular current. If the
current is strong, a loud bell
rings ; if it is weak only a slight
tinkling is heard.
Prof. Tommasina claims that
this instrument will he found of
great service, especially on ves
sels at sea, since it will prove
much more reliable than the
present method of ascertaining
weather conditions which is of
hardly any use * except near a
coast. He claims that a vessel,
provided with an "electrical
radiophone," can ascertain the
approach of a storm far away at
sea in time to enable the crew
to make ample preparations for
it.
A full account of this ingen
ious discovery has been sent to
the French academy of sciences
and much interest is being man
ifested in it by electricians and
naval men.—New York Jour

Will Not Be Again a Candidate.
In the last issue of Commoner
W. J. Bryan states that he does
not expect to be a candidate
again. He says:
"I am not planning for anoth
er Presidential nomination. If
I were I would not be editing a
paper. If I ever am a candi
date again it will be because it
seems necessary for the ad
vancement of the principles to
which I adhere, and that does
not now seem probable. I shall,
however, take an interest in
politics for several years yet if
I live, and can be relied upon
to support those who as candi
dates, advocate Democratic
principles and also can be trust
ed to enforce them if elected.
"I have no enemies to pun
ish. No Matter what a man
t may have said or done against
the ticket in 1896 or in 1900,
[that man becomes my friend
the moment he accepts Demc
jcratic principle. Neither have
I any disposition to reward po
litical friends at the expense of
our cause. No matter what
that man may have said or done
for the ticket in 1896 or 1900,
that man becomes and opponent
the moment he turns against
Democratic principles. Politi
cal battles are fought not in the
past or in the future, but in the
present. The hereafter cannot
be anticipated, but the 'now' is
all I present."
Diamonds Given To Buy Bibles.
Dr. F. H. Kerfoot, corres
ponding secretary of the Baptist
home mission board, received
an express package several days
ago which was valued on the
package at $l5O. On opening
the package he found that it
contained a ring set with twe
diamonds and a sapphire be
tween them.
There was no name accom
panying the gift, merely a note
saying that they were for the
use of the home mission board
and were to be disposed of ac
cording to the discretion of Dr
Kerfoot.
It is the intention of the
board to dispose of the ring anc
to use the money for Bibles tc
be sent to the destitute section:
of the southern states ,especial
ly the mountain regions of Geor
gia, North Carolina and Ten

This is the second gift of dia

The Origin of Some Famous
Hymns.
I
The circumstances that in
| spired some of our great devo
tional hymns must deepen the
t interest in both the song and
' the singer and reveal that
! mighty kinship of human souls
that diviue sympathy, that con
fers deathless fame on a few
simple verses, soul-biographie >
living in song."
"Rock of Ages, Cleft for Me.
"This greatest of hymns "was
written in 1775 by Rev. Augus
tus Toplady, a very learned
English divine, who died at the
early age of thirty eight. The
hymn has the rare, wonderous
spiritual ecstasy he revealed in
his daily life. In his last ill
ness he said : "I cannot tell the
comforts that I feel in my soul;
they are past expression. It
will not be long before God
takes me ; for no mortal man
can live after the glories which
God has manifested to my
soul." The marble tablet over
his grave says : He wrote "Rock
of Ages, Cleft for Me."
Mrs. Vaualstyne, better known
as Fanny Crosby, the blind
poet, wrote the hymn, 'Safe in
the arms of Jesus," for music in
twenty minutes, but into it was
put the essence of her whole life
of faith. Miss Crosby, after a
day's jostling through the city
streets, guided bv some loving
hand, returns to her little room
and pours forth her soul in
song.
Of the many hymns written
by Mrs. Sarah Flower Adams,
the only one that has survived
is the hymn, "Nearer My God
to Thee," based on the Bible
story of Jacob's vision at Beth
el, the imagery of which narra
tive it follows most faithfully.
One day Charles Wesley was
sitting by an open window,
looking over the beautiful fields
when he saw a little bird pur
sued by a hawk. The poor
thing, weak and frightened, in
seeking to escape from its ene
my, flew into the room and
found refuge in Wesley's bosom.
As the poet was then in great
trouble and needed the safety of
a refuge, the consolation of help
from a higher power than his
own, the incident seemed to
him a divine message and, thus
inspired, he wrote the famous
hymn, "Jesus, Lover of My
Soul.—William George Jordan
in May Ledger Monthly.

in* Demonstrations In His Honor.
New Orleans, May 2. —President Mc-
Kinley, accompanied by Governor
Heard and Mayor Capdeville. and es
:orted by a mounted detachment of po
lice and the Louisiana cavalry troop,
eft the St. Charles Hotel at 9:20, after
breakfasting in his apartments with
Mrs. McKinley and proceeded to the
Southern University, a colored institu
:ion. He was enthusiastic-ally received
3y the faculty and students. The
weather to-day is clear and warm.
As the President entered the grounds
>f the University he was welcomed
with "Hail to the Chief," sung by a
:horus of 1000 school children and ac
sompanted by the student orchestra.
Brief addresses were made by George
Alexis and Ernestine • M. Theophile,
aright pupils of the school. The Presi
dent made a felicitous response, in
which he said to the negro children: "I
im glad to know that all over the
South where most of you dwell, the
States have provided institutions Of
learning where every boy and girl can
prepare themselves for usefulness and
honor under the government in which
:hey live. What you want is to get e.di
lation and with It you want good char
icter and with these you want un
"altering industry and if you have these
:hings you will have success anywhere
ind everywhere. God bless you."
Five thousand negroes attended the
reception, among them the leading lo
:al members of the race.
From the Southern University the
President was driven to the historic
facing Jackson square, while a
multitude of people had gathered. It
was within the Cabildo in the row now
occupied by the State Supreme Court,
that the transfer was made of the
Louisiana territory by France to Gov
ernor Claiborne, the American commis
sioner of President Jefferson. The
President was received to-day by Gov
ernor Heard, the State officials and the
members of the Supreme Court
promptly at noon and was escorted to
a seat on the right of Justice Ndeholls.
President A. E. Foitier, of the Lou-
Isiana Historical Association, wasrecog
nized by the Chief Justice and deliver
ed an address on the historical asso
ciations of the Cabildo. The President
made a brief reply and ar. official rec
ord was made on the minutes of the
visit of Mr. McKinley to the court. Af
terward the President spoke briefly
from the balcony to an immense as
semblage in the streets.
A national salute brought the cere
monies to a close. President McKinley
and his Cabinet made their way with
difficulty through the acres of people
surrounding the Cabildo on their way
back to their hotel. They drove through
throngs of cheering people and the
President's face was wreathed in smiles
as he acknowledged the unceasing
demonstrations in his honor. After
lunch and a short rest the party, in
cluding many of the ladies, was driven
at the head of the Canal street, where
they boarded the big river steamer City
of St. Louis. On its run up and down
the river as far as the scene of the
battle of New Orleans, the President 3
boat was accompanied by a score of
gaily decorated tugs and other craft
whose steam whistles found little rest.
The levee on either side was lined with
people. The party is expected to return
at 5 o'clock and board the train at 6.
THE MONEY KING* AT WAR.
A RIK Fight Over the Establishment
of Transcontinental .Systems.
New York, May 2.—Discussing the
Union Pacific situation the Mall and
Express has the following:
"From the current tremendous mar
ket movements in Union Pacific and
Atchison stocks—big advances occurr
ing in each to-day—it became clear
that a fight is going on between great
money interests over the establishment
of trans-continental systems. It now
appears that this fight centres around
the "plans of George J. Gould and E. H.
Harriman to establish a vast network
of roads from the Atlantic to the Pa
cific ocean, and William K. Vanderbilt
and the Pennsylvania railroad people,
seeing what was up, have made up
their minds to frustrate them.
"With the Government and Harri
man on the one hand are said to be
Kuhn, Loeb & Co., who are identified
with the Union Pacific management,
while Mr. Morgan is believed to have
lent his influence with the Vanderbilt
and Pennsylvania forces.
"The Rockefellers, who are identified
with Mr. Gould in the southwestern
deal, are said to have stood aloof from
the Union Pacific incident, and to havi
done nothing which could be criticised
by Mr. Morgan, with whom they are
associated in many affairs."
THE MORUAN-I.EYEANO DEAL.
The Contract for the Controlling In
terest In the I.eylaud I.lne Mgned
With A Few 9ilnor Concessions.
New York, May 2.—According to a
private cablegram received here to
day, a provision In the contract be
tween J. P. Morgan and Frederick
Leyland & Co. gives the latter the
right to continue to ply steamers be
tween the Mersey and St. Lawrence.
In all the remainder of the service the
Leylands waive the controlling interest,
including the newly-acquired Wes.. In
dian routes, and guarantee that they
will not again enter the North Atlantic
trade, except as it applies to Quebec
and Montreal, for the term of fourteet
years.
The cablegram also said that for five
days the Leyland Line held off foi
these concessions, insisting that thej
should be permitted to run theii
steamers to Portland, Me., If not Bos
ton, during the time that navigatior
on the St. Lawrence is closed by ice
A compromise was effected, wherebs
Portland was omitted and the demand
for a Canadian route granted. This
means that for eight months of the
year the will maintaip a pas
