The Grandest Treasure. One of the fondest, hap piest anticipations of a mother's heart is that by her Husband's ear nest toil, and by careful economy on both their parts they shall Mabie to lay by a little store i which the baby when itis ' grown to man hood or wom anhood shall have as its own private pos session. -But every wife who ex- pects to be come a mother may provide a far more valuable treasure for her little one's future than can ever be contained in any savings bank if she will take the proper care of her own health and physical condition during the time when the baby 19 expected. And if every husband would feel it his bounden ' duty to see that all possible means are adopted to carry his wife safely through this critical time, he will help to bequeath to his offspring that health and natural vigor which is the grandest fortune a father can bestow. t " During the past year I found myself preg nant and in rapidly failing health," writes Mrs. W T. Kidder, of Hill Dale Farm, (Enosburg ' Center) Enosburg, Vt., in a grateful letter to Dr. R. V. Pierce, of Buffalo, N. Y. " I suffered dread fully from bloating and urinary difficulty. I was growing perceptibly weaker each day and suf fered much sharp, pain at times. I felt that " something must be done. I sought your advice and received a prompt reply. I followed your directions and took twelve bottles of Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription, and also followed your ' instructions. I began to improve immediately, jny health, became excellent, and I could do all f my own work (we live on a good sized farm). I i walked and rode all I could, and enjoyed it I had a short easy confinement and have a I healthy baby boy." r " Favorite Prescription " is the only pro- prietary medicine in the world invented ' by an educated physician and scientific specialist for the one specific purpose of restoring health and strength to the dis tinctly feminine organism. It is a prompt relief and permanent cure for every form of female complaint or weakness. No remedy relieves constipation so quickly and effectually as Dr. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets. I REn7inER.

Ellerbee Torn to Pieces by a Railroad Train Near Marlon, Sooth Carolina. BvTelegraph to the Morning star. Charleston, S. C, August 5. Her bert S. Ellerbe, thirty years old, and youngest brother of the late Governor Ellerbe, was either killed and his body put on the railroad track or killed accidentally by the south-bound vesti bule train m Marion county, this State, last Thursday night: The body was torn all to pieces, and different bones and pieces of flesh were found along the track for many miles. None of the clothing was found except the coat, which contained a five dollar bill, and the trousers, which were found on the engine when the train reached Charleston. In support of the theory that there was foul play, no sign of blood in any quantity has been found along the railroad track, and it is claimed that if the body had been alive at the time it was struck by the train there must have been a great effusion of blood. The young man stood high in Marion county and there are many who be lieve that his death, was not accidental. TO MEET DEMAND FOR PAPER MONEY Gold Certificates in Denoiffina tions of Twenty Dollars to be Issued. TO AMOUNT OF TEN MILLIONS Purpose Being to Meet the Pressing Need Throughout the Country for Currency for Movement of the Fall Crops. Gold Must be Deposited. By Telegraph to the Morning Star. v Washington, August 5. The Treasury Department to-day made requisition upon the Bureau of En graving and Printing for the printing of ten million dollars gold certificates in denominations of twenty dollars each. The treasurer now holds a large unissued supply of certificates for the larger denominations. It is the evi dent iuteution of tbe Treasury Depart ment to be in a position to issue gold certificates freely for gold coin, should the Fall movement of currency lead to a demand at tbe treasury for gold certificates in exchange for gold coin. It is to be noted that while gold coins can be freely had in denominatioas of fives and tens the law restricts the issue of gold certificates to denomina tions of twenty dollars or multiples thereof. It is a debatable question, therefore, whether gold certificates will adequately meet the demand for money of small denominations. It is now apparent that for the Full movement of the crops there will bo a pressing demand for more currency or paper money. As , this can be fur nished in no other than by the issue of gold certificates, there will un doubtedly be a demand mora or less great upon the treasury for such cer tificates against the deposit of gold coin. J To Meet Demand for Currency. The sub-treasury at San Francisco has already been notified by wire to resume the issue of gold certificates on deposits of gold and in payment over the counter of government obli gations. The other sub-treasuries have been notified to the same effect by letter which they will receive before business hours on Monday morning. The sub-treasurers have also been ad vised that the government will ship them in additional supply of gold certificates to-day of what; is known as department series in denominations ranging from $20 to $1,000 and aggre gating about $10,000,000. It is antici pated that the gold certificates most in demand will be what is known as "order certificates." These will be is sued on request to individual deposi tors of gold, and in their own names, in sums ranging from $5,000 to $10,000 each. The government now has in its vaults between $88,000,000 and $90, 000,000 in gold certificates of what is" known as the "series of 1888," and these will be supplied on demand un til those may be printed at the Bureau of Engraving and Printing. It will be recalled that Secretary Carlisle sus pended the issue of gold certificates by an order promulgated April 14th. 1893. His authority for. so doing was contained in section 12 of the act of July 12, 1882, which made it obligatory upon the secretary of the treasury to suspend the issue whenever the gold reserve retained in the treasury should fall below $100,000,000. This question of resuming the issue of gold certifi cates which was .suspended by Secre tary Carlisle, has been under con sideration by Secretary Gage for sev eral months. He has given the ques tion his best thought and it is believed secured the views of other leading financiers throughout the country be fore taking this step. In Cleveland's Time the gold reserve fell below. $100. 000,000, and the issue of gold certifi cates ceased under the direction of Secretary Carlisle. He held that the Kwer of the' department in the case psed when ionce the reserve was trenched upon, and yet certificates were afterwards issued for two brief periods and for small sums during his term. Since the accession of President Mc- KinleV the SllhlW.t Tins Wn iii-irlan Aia- J w UU UIO cussion in financial newspapers and among DanKers, ana inquiries nave been addressed to the department and counsel tendered relative to the re sumption of the issue. Secretary Gage has riven much r.rtnsirlArnfinn in IvntV, - " - m . w V WlilA the legal and business aspects of the E reposition. It is understood that he as been advised that the issue of these certificates is an adm sure which is wholly within his discre tion. The Dresenf call for is said, is not due to any reduction of notes or any Kind. The treasury has for a long period had only $20,000,000 for USe in all its nffWs artA hoo Kn 1 mum una UCCU able to put out notes only in redemp- uisu vr iu cAbaaun lur uiner denomi nations. All the rest nf tVio iHAi nnn 000 in paper is in the hands of the Dan-s, or me people, ana in an unusual degree in the Northwest and the South west. To Move the Crops. Secretary Gage resumes the issue of cold certificates With t.VlA niifnnoQ rkf extending the aid of the government in mAwt-MiltA " u,wmg mo urups m any proper way that offers or in HaIiava1 kv people to be helpful. Now that the de yaruucui as gone to tne limit or its nower iri thin Hiiwiinn it in innc - A V AO X UOlObCU that banks and the people adjust them selves to the situation. JNo gold certificates can, under the law, be issued for denominations less than tw.enty dollars. Treasurer Rob erts directs attention to the, fact that the demand for currency is in much the greater degree for smaller notes. By using gold certificates for twenty dollars and upward, the other kinds of paper can be turned more and more into denominations smaller, and this will give some relief. Gold coin can be used in five and ten dollars if popu lar prejudice will permit. Treasurer Roberts places emphasis on the fact that for these certificates Cold coin must ha HAnnsiarl t- v. treasury, absolutely dollar for dollar. .mo voiume oi currency, therefore, Cannot rprivn anir innwimfinf process. A certain fluidity, however. D1" OT mo ueruucutes will De likely to be passed from hand to hand, and be shipped with greater facility. Hope is - expressed by treasury officials that since the vaults of the denartmftnt nt. nil it a nffl.oo o. ,1MaJ crowded, banks will turn in coin only ur lair Dusiness reasons to secure cur rency for necessary use.

Journalists, Witnesses and Other Actors From All Parts of the World 1 pARE ASSEMBLING AT RENNES Cafes Pull of People Discussing the Corn ing Trial Antl-Dreyfusard Agitators ' Hold Meetings Police. Take Measures to Insure Peace. By Cable to the Morning Star. Rennes, August 5. Kennes has awakened from its normal condition of fleepiness and with the i arrival of hundreds of journalists, from all parts of the world, and wit nesses and other actors in the Dreyfus drama, the town is assuming an ani mated appearance. The terraces in front of the cafes are full of people warmly discussing the coming trial, which will open at half-past six or sevena'cl ock Monday. General Mercier, who was minister of, war when Dreyfus was condemned, arrived from Paris this afternoon. His face showed an anxiour, care-worn look. A large number of persons had gathered oa the platform at the rail way station to witness his arrival, but no uotewsrthy incident occurred. The leading event of the day . was the arrival of the hero of the Dreyfus affair, Lieutenant Colonel Georges Picquart. His train arrived at 7 o'clock this evening, an - hour late, and only a few people were present at the station except detectives and po lice officials. As Colonel Picquart en tered the carriage which Maitre Labori, counsel for Captain Dreyfus, had wait ing for him in the station yard, some of the spectators shouted: "Vive Pic quart," and "Vive Dreyfus." The shouts elicited counter cries at "A bas Picquart" and "A Mort, A IFau" from the few anti-Drey fusites present. But the bark of the latter was worse than their bite, for not the slightest attempt was made to carry out the threats, which Colone ;Picquart utterly ignored. i AntNDreyf usard Agitators;. The authorities are apparently be coming anxious - regarding the main tenance of tranquility in Rennes during the trial, owing to the invasion of the town by a crowd of anti-Drey-fusard agitators, and heroic police measures were taken this evening to insure peace during a couple of oppo sition meetings which were quite private. A small number of people assembled in the neighborhood of the house in which the meetings were held and this led the authorities to mobilize in the locality a force of policemen on foot,mounted gendarmes and a swarm of detectives, who closed the streets in the vicinity, though there was not the slightest sign of dis order. Cards of admission to the trial were issued this afternoon to the represen tatives of the press, every two foreign correspondents, without exception, re ceiving one card between them, which means that the leading papers of the world outside of France will be able to be represented only every other day. Captain Dreyfus will be conducted to the new court room in the Lycee, which faces the military prison across the broad Avenue de La Gare, every morning and return in the evening between a double row of gendarmes. Preparing for the TrlaLj Workmen have been busy to-day fitting up the Salle. Des Fetes in the Lycee for. the trial, and the installa tion of benches, desks, etc., is already practically completed. A large cru cifix has been brought from the mili tary chapsl and hung behind the seats of the judges, which are placed on the stage. As the Salle Des Fetes' is real ly a theatre, the proscenium Has been left untouched and will form a frame for scenes of the trial. HAYTI IN A FERMENT. U. S. Minister Powell Cables That a War ship May be Required to Protect tbe United States Legation. By Telegraph to the Horning Star. Washington, August 5. Hayti is in a state of ferment, perhaas from sympathy with the neighboring state of Santo - Domingo. United, States Minister Powell has cabled the State Department that the presence of a United States warship may j be re quired if the present threatening con tinue, to insure the safety of the United States legation and consulates. The department is closely watching developments and has been in com munication with the Navy Depart ment on the subject, ready to dispatch orders at short notice to Commanders Longnecker and Logan of the New Orleans, and Machias, respectively. These vessels are now at Santo Dom ingo, only half a day's sail from Port-Au-Prince, and will, it is believed, be quite sufficient to meet the 'minister's needs. DIED AT CAPON SPRINGS. Dr. J. S.
