When in formed that my father had died from the same disease, they said I must die, As hereditary Cancer was incurable. , 'At this crisis, I was advised to try S.S.S., and in a short -while the Cancer began to discharge and continued to do so for three mouths, then it began to heal.

Affairs at the stock exchange, were not omy characterized by extreme dullness, the sales footing only 118,031 shares, but an unsettled feeling prevailed through out the session. It goes almost with out saying, that the dealings were al most entirely professional and even these operators refused to go into new ventures on an extensive scale. In the main, the industrials were firmer, while the railway list gradually drift ed to a lower level. There was a ateady dribbling of the Grangers, al though nothing new developed on which a selling , movement could be predicted. The bears revamped the old story about a probable reduction in the Burlington dividend, but as a mat ter of fact, nothing definite ia known in regard to the matter, as the direc tors refuse to commit themselves and say that they themselves are ignorant na fr the. action to be taken. Never theless the stock declined about a point - and closed at the lowest, ana tst. f aui and Rock Island ruled lower In sym pathy. More aggressiveness was shown in the case of the coalers, both bitum inous and anthracite. In addition stocks were unfavorably affected by the further sharp decline in Hocking I Valley bonds, on reports that no pro I vision has yet been made for the in terest due March 1st. It is said a plan j is being devised whereby the coupons will be purchased by the bankers iden i tified with' the property. Hocking Val j ley, common declined 1 to 5 and the preferred was offered at 25, last re : nortpd sale havinir been at 40. The 6's and consolidated 5's dropped 4 to 5 per cent. Wheeling and Lake Erie fell to 1, and preferred 2 to 7, the low est figures yet touched. Amenff the anthracites, Jersey Central was the feature, declining 2 .points to 96 on regular and 96 seller, sixty. There was' a rally of nearly 1 per cent, in the late dealings. The Gould stocKs con tinued feverish andi Manhattan fluc tuated between 88 asd 88. with final sales at 87.

Continued strength prevailed in the wheat market-today. Trading began ait prices un changed to a fraction lower than the closing ones of yesterday and from (hen until the close there was little of any interruption to the strength of the tone. A doubt that the Russian Greecian imbroglio would be settled amicably was the principal reason for the firmness exhibited. Liverpool quoted d " advance, but that was deemed trifling under the circum stances and explained the inability of prices to get above the "call" figure. Trade was light, and whilst the1 tone of the market was firm, yet there was much doubt as to the prospect of any further improvement taking place. The situation remains uncertain and until something' decisive' occurs either for op against war in Europe, opera tors are inclined to go slow in either direction. Cash wheat was firm and to c higher, Price? in corn were higher, taking motive and inspiration, from- the Im provement in w?ha(I The' business early was light and fluctuations were neither broad nor important. Cash corn was strong and c higher. Fractional advances were gained in oats .prices. The surrounding specula tive strength was credited with the im provement. Business was in much the same rut that it has been for some time. " Cash oats were firm and c higher.

SENATE. Washington, February 18.The gen- ate passed today, without a word of explanation, a bill whlchf if it become law, will Introduce a new postal card system. Its title is "A Bill to Extend the Uses of the Mail Service." It was introduced in the early part of the last session by Senator. VilasiJ and was re ferred to the postoffiee committee from which it' was reported back with amendments on the 18th of last month. A week ago an attempt fwas made to have it passed by unanintaous consent; but objection was then made by Sena tor Allen, who said that f torn the read ing of the bill it appeared to propose the conferring of a monopoly. Senator Vilas admitted that it did confer a monoply, Imt said that as the company concerned owned the patent for the Invention, there imust neces sarily be a monoply. f Senator Allen promised: to look into the matter, i and when Senator Vilas asked unanimous consent !today for the passage of the bill, and sadd that Sena tor Allen was satisfied with it, no ob jection was r made and ijthe "bill was passed without its being even read ex cept by title. 'I Its purpose is to allow the circulation By mail of the postal cards and envel opes with coupons attached, patented and owned by a West Virginia corpor ation, all regular postal cards and let ter rates "paid on presentation of the coupons from the said card and en velopes when detached at; (the office of delivery." The postmaster ' general is to test the practical operation of the plan in one or two more eities, and to suspend its operation. If the test prove unfavorable. ! There are nine sections to the bill; but they do not convey a very clear idea of. the plan. The senate had spent ionly twenty minutes in legislative session, when, on motion of Senator Sherman the gal leries were cleared, the j doors closed and . the .consideration tf executive business entered upon.

The case turned upon the ac tion of the county clerk ofjClark coun ty, Kentucky who -without proper authority had substituted! what was called in the debate "an oflious thiev ing coon" on the official! ballots In place of the eagle, the chosen emblem of the republican party of - Kentucky. It was admitted by the committee that this was a "transparent i fraud" and that it was done with intent to deceive, but it was contended that! the jiurnber of colored votes lost in thfs manner was not enough to overcome the sitting member's majority of 253 oiver his con testant. The minority report contend ed that fraud - vitiated everything, and that the entire vote oftJthe county must be thrown out. 'After an exceed ingly animated discussion! the house sustained this view by a vote of 197 to 91.

In this the house sustained him and on a re-count Rinaker was seated.

Philadelphia Record. For tbe Dixie Hospital. Fort Monroe, February 18 A bazaar, colonial tea and minuet was given, at the Chamberlain tonight in aid of the Dixie hospital at Hampton, which has been a social and financial success. The minuet was danced "by some thir ty couples of young society people of Hampton. It was a pleasing feature of the evening. At its conclusion, the ball room was thrown open for general dancing which lasted until midnight. The Dixie hospital was established by the late General Armstrong on the Normal school grounds about ten years ago. with nothing behind It but his faith in humanity. It has been enlarg ed to double its original size and is doing an- excellent work in this com munity, j UP TO DATE. 1 The Weekly Messenger to Be Issued In Two Editions The Semi-Weekly to Be Sent to Subscribers at the Old Price of One Dollar Per Annum On or about March 1st. the Weekly Messenger will be converted into a twice a week or semi-weekly paper. This step has been taken, principally with a view to giving our weekly read ers the news earlier than theyhave heretofore been receiving it. This change will involve considerable ex pense upon The Messenger, as it is not proposed to increase the present price of $1.00 per year for the paper. The Messenger realizes that news is news when fresh, and to hold tne news for a week, it is sometimes not news when sent out. By the change, the subscribers of the weekly will receive two papers of 8 pages each, or 96 columns, for the present price of $1.00 per year. It is reasonably hoped that this change will be beneficial and that the now large subscription list of the weekly will be materially increased. This will make the Weekly Messen ger one of the best (as it is now) ad vertising mediums in this section. This is an age of progress, arid The Messenger never follows but is always in the lead.
