Cancer 0! the Breast. r Mr. A; H. Crausby, of 158 Kerr St., Memphis, Tenn., says that his wife paid no attention to a small lump which appeared in her breast, but it soon de veloped into a cancer of the worst type, and notwithstanding the treatment of the best physicians, it continued to spread and grow rapidly, eating two holes in her breast. The doctors soon pronounced her incurable. A celebrated New York specialist then treat ed her, but she con tinued to grow' worse and when informed that both her aunt and grandmother had udied from f cancer he 'pave the case no as hopeless. ... bomeone tnen re commended, s.s.s. and though little hope remained, she begun it, and an improvement was no ticed. The cancer commenced to heal and when she had taken several bottles it "eral years have ejapsed, not a sign of the disease has ever returned. A Real Blood Remedy S.S.S.

Dunn Union: There is a good deal of cotton in the hands of our farmers yet unsold. Every little rise ln the market 'brings in quite a number of bales. News and Observer: "Wewant'tiiepie and we are going:' to have it," said Jim Young: last night. "We are here for the purpose of taking charge of every institution in North Carolina, and I for one am not going to be satisfied un til we turn ou.t every democrat from the cellar away up to the garret of ev ery institution In the state." Clinton Democrat: This vicinity has some examples of long lived horses. Major Peden's Mack, now in the pos sesion of Mr. R. H. Hubbard, Is tl years old and looks to be about 10; Mr. M. M. Killet has a horse that Is 29 years of age, and Mrs. A. E. Mur phy has one that is 24. All of these an imals have promise of being here some time yet. jKinston Free Press: Rev. J. P. Spence resigned as pastor of the Bap tist church on account of Toor health, but the church- refused to accept his resignation and gave him a vacation of indefinite length, until, his health is restored, Mr. Spence is alfinepreach; er and an excellent gentleman, and the Kinston people hope that i his health will soon be "restored. "Washington Messenger: The friends of; Commodore Ed. Clark, of the steam er Alpha, will be glad to hear he has again escaped from storm and tem pest. "While within fifteen miles of Pen-i saprvla. in th midst of a heavv sea the waves rolling twenty feet high, the Al- oha broke her shaft and yet the gal iant commocfore succeeded in pliloting his ship to port under one sail. . - ,. Wadesboro Messenger: Judging from the records of the register of deed's office and the tremendous move ment of commercial fertilizers, the farmers of Anson will plant and cul tivate the largest acreage of cottorj and corn this county has ever known, i The very large number of mules sold by dealers here in the past two months also leads to the above conclusion. Here's a go! The house of represen tatives in its action on the substitute for the original bill to annul the North Carolina lease bill, made a blunder which makes it inoperative. The sub stitute passed the third reading, as detailed below by The Tribune report er, and. there it stopped. A bill has had its final passage upon the third reading, but a substitute . must be adopted upon its introduction. This the house failed to do, so the action of the .house is invalid. Whether there was ignorance on the part of those who fa vored the bill, or fear-to put it to a test vote upon final adoption, is a question for these gentlemen to an swer. No matter what the reason' or cause, the substitute stands as it stood before any action was taken. Winston Sentinel: Mr. Eli C. Romin ger, who received an attack of pneu monia on Monday, the 15th fhstant, passed away at 10 o'clock last night at his home, 211 Elm street. 'Mr. Romin ger was born near Friedberg, this county, on February 26, 1810, and would therefore have been 87 years old next Friday. Rev. W. L. Bethel, colored, one of the stockholders in the new cotton factory to be built and op eratea at Concord by colored people, returned from that place this morning. He says the company was organized yesterday afternoon and $3,000 in cash was paid in. Mrs. Phoebe Mock, mother of the late Dr. Mock, died at her home in Clemmonsville last night. She was 96 years old. A member of the legislature, who, like all the oth ers, is hungry for pie, said the other day that he had1 found a place he wanted, but was laying low until the time for action, then he proposed to strike. Being importuned to know what it was, he finally said it was Bishop Cheshire's place, which he un derstood paid $3.'000. He still believes he will get it, for he does not know but what it is a position under the state. . ' Raleigji Press-Visitor": -Senator Clark, of Halifax, has been gazing on the bolters' pie counter for some time. The temptation was too great, and yester- j day Senator Clark jumped and joined the bolters. (He is a brother of Judge Clark.)-1 In : Wake -superior court this morning the case of W. J. Ed wars, vs. the Seaboard Air Line was decid'ed in favor of the plaintiff. Mr. Edwards "was train dispatcher on the i system at the time the St. John guil- otine was flying inthe- air. Mr. Edwards- was employed for a year and his services were dispensed with before ; the time expired. He brought suit for j nine hundred and some dollars back salary, with interest. The" case was de- ' cided in his favor. Governor Russell has promised Representative Sutton, of Cumberland county, to appoint him i judge of the eastern criminal court. This news leaked out today, though it has 'been strongly suspicioned. J. he eastern judgeship was alloted the 'bolt ers by caucus agreement of both par ties. The populists are naturally in dignant and,. what they are saying about the governor at this time would not be strictly Sunday school reading matter. Rupture will be inevitable if Sutton is appointed judge. Sutton, in the meantime, is coming in for his shfare of condemnation, .because it is claiined that he is acting in bad faith with the republican caucus after hay ing agreed to yield the office to the populists. Governor Russell is said, to be desirous of harmonizing the trou bled waters. Judge Henry R. Bryanj of Newbern, is an appliqant for the judgeship of the - eastern 'district left vacant by the death' of Judge Seymour. ; The Ideal .Panacea. James L. Francis. Alderman, Chica go, says: "I regard Dr. King's New Discovery as an Ideal Panacea for Coughs. Colds and Lung Complaints, having used it in my family for the last five years, to the exclusion of pny sician's prescriptions ot other prepa rations." . '. ' Rev. John Burges. Keokuk, Iowa, writes: "I have been a Minister or tne Methodist Episcopal - Church for 58 years or more, and have never rouna anything so beneficial, or that gave me such speedy relief as Dr. King's New Discovery."

There was no relief today from the insufferable dullness that has characterized the stock market for some time. The total transactions were only 88,227 shares and a number of stocks were practi cally neglected. There was an indis position to trade on all sides and even when it was announced that the senate had voted in favor of taking up the Sanguilly resolution, business rfemain- ed dull and stupid, although the bears succeeded in bringing about a gen erally lower range of prices. Specu lation at the opening was fairly firm in sympathy with the receipts of slight ly higher quotations from London and the leading shares improved to - per cent. Buying orders were limited. however, and as soon as the traders saw that the big operators were taking little interest in the course of the . market, they lost no time in getting out. A little stir was created by the announcement that a receiver had been appointed for the Columbus, Hocking Valley and Toledo road, especially as the stock declined 2 and the consoli dated 5's -per cent.,- but the consoli dated 5's and 6's subsequently ad vanced 5 to 5 per cent, on well au thenticated reports that the road will be re-organized by J. P. Morgan & Co., and that firm will probably offer to ad vance $25 a bond on the 5's deposited with them pending the preparation of a plan for the rehabilitation of the property. After the action of the sen ate on the Sanguilly case became known, the bears were more aggressive ana a decline of to 1 per cent, en sued right through the list, the mark et closing weak at about the lowest point. Among the high priced issues Omaha preferred advanced 2. whilo Consolidated Gas and New York and New Hampshire declined 1 to 1 per cent. The weakest stocks in the late transactions were Sugar. Manhattan Jersey Central and the Grangers. Sugar iigurea ior 1.8U0. Hocking Vallev for 10,600, Burlington and Quincy for 8,500, St. .raui ror o.bw, Tobacco for 5,900.

The early news was adverse to holders and the early trading was therefore at depre ciated values, but as the session ad vanced the tone hardened and in the last hour a sharp ud turn took nlare. aicw luinurs oi war in UJurone eave' shorts a fright near the close and on the buying thereby induced the final bulge resulted. Disauietimr talk ahnut tne situation in Cuba was partially re sponsible for the early weakness. Cash wheat was irregular, closing to at iiigner. There was good buviner of Miv r-nm by a large elevator concern and of Sep tember by a prominent commission house, , these purchases hoi dine- the market in a very firm position durinsr the morning. The opening was rather" easy in . compliment to weakness in wheat at the start, but the fractional aepreciation, which then took place. was not enaunng. casn corn was steaay The oats market was In an absolutelv stagnant condition. A few scalDiner operations were all that took place. No uuiBiue oraers were received. The ac tion of the market depended entirelv on the strength or weakness of - the surroundings. Cash oats were easy at c lower. The provision market started in with fair activity and a firm tone, but the business on hand was soon transacted ana no fresh orders were received. Prices soon, began to sag and the early advance was lost. The hoe market was higher, which accounted for the opening dullness. M'ay pork closed 2c higher. May lard a shade lower and Jday ribs a shade higher. England's Poller In the Eastern Question London, February 25.

The cotton market was strong today, stimulated by an advance of 2-64d in Liverpool The opening here was 5 to 6 points higher than last night's close, May selling on the first call at 7.06. For a time after the opening, the market was very dull and it looked as if the ad vance would be lost, May declining to 7.04; but receipts were very light, the local sentiment bullish and- there was little cotton for sale and when New Orleans sent large buying orders here, prices moved up again. A heavy bear operator is said to nave coverea nis cotton today. May advanced to 7.12 and closed at 7.10 to 7.11, with the tone of the market steady. Everything ex cept possible national complications seems to point to higher prices for cotton. 1 . RIORDAN & Co. An Electric Car Struck by Two Train. Chicago, 1 February 25.

He pays $1 for the bagging and ties, $2 for ginning and then brings tl to town where he pays the buyer 50 cents, the weigher 10 cents, drayage to the com press 10 cents, compressing 60 cents, freight to Rhode Island or Connecticut $5. This foots up $8.80 against the bale by the time it reashes the factory. It is then made into domestic and other cotton goods and sold to the large Job bing houses at a profit; the freight from the factory to the Jobbing house adds , an item of expense. The jobber sells to the Hunt county merchant and makes a profit, and then the railroads get another whack at it in freight from" New York to the retailer. Not count ing the profit of the manufacturer ancl retailer, that bale has been at an ex pense of about $20 in.its rounds. Hunt County (Texas) News. ' This strikes us as a Quaker cabinet. Mr. Sherman is generally regarded as an old woman, long in his dotage. Mr. Gage Is a Chicago banker and broker, full of all the fears that are said to make capital timid, and especially sub servient to the money-market in Lonr don; Mr, Alger, as a warrior, is chiefly noted for seeking the rear in time of battle or for his backwardness in coming . forward when there is any danger. Mr. Long is u sailor who be comes seasick on "the raging cana.wl.'t and who knows the ocean only 4n cod fish balls, or as it roars in a sea shell. The secretary of the interior is selected from our remotest exterior, California. The rest are mere' "stop-gaps," We do not see muoh hope in the group. Mr. McKinley himself, however, is a man, and he may administer our affairs all the better because his cabinet is a very weak one, so far as we can judge. Norfolk Pilot. In connection with the appointment of Judge Joseph McKenna as secre tary of , the interior under the incom ing administration, there is a well au thenticated rumor to the effect thai Majqr William Warner, of Missouri, is to. be his assistant in that office, and that . on the resignation of Justice Stephen J. Field from" the supreme bench of the United States Judge Mc Kenna is to be elevated to that posi tion, while Major Warner is to fall heir to the latter's place in the cabinet As to the contemplated retirement of Justice Field, who Is now in his 81st year, there has been some talk in po litical and newspaper circles for more than a year past. Justice Field has been on the supreme bench for over a third of a century, having first assum ed -the Judicial ermine in 1863, during the first administration of President Lincoln. 'Atlanta Constitution. And if the Fifty-fifth congress can not pass a tariff measure its sessions are almost sure to be barren. The re publican majority in the house will be a negative rather than a positive force. The members of the majority .party in the new house can be counted upon to vote for a high tariff measure, but further than this they cannot be ex pected to go on the line of positive leg islation. They evince no inclination to take up the so-called monetary re4 forms urged by Mr. Gage and the cur rency monopolists; they would much prefer to leave things as they are. We do not mean to infer that Mr. Gage will be without followers in the next house. He can count upon all those members who are under the thumb of the money cliques, Who lack the back bone to withstand the pressure that those cliaues can brine -to hear who rknow that .to antagonize the schemes or tne moroyea interests will be to rise up opposition from those inter, ests to their re-eleetion, and who, knowing this, will sacrifice t!ie Inter ests of their constituents and sell principle for place. But on the sup port of the solid republican vote Mr. Gage and the currency monopolists cannot count, for some representatives there must be who will have the cour age to do what is right, regardless of personal cost, and who cannot be browbeaten to do the bidding of the currency monopolists.
