As we buy our instruments "right out," we can sell (to say nothing- of the superior grades) for what consignment dealers have to pay when they settle. Again, when Pianos are consigned, the dealer has to sell what is sent, new ones, old ones, indifferent ones, which is rather risky business. You , can form no idea of Pianos .where only a single make is kept. As we pay for our goods, we can de mand the best, and we instantly re turn any defective instruments. Call and seer us .before purchasing- and you will see-that everything is as we rep resent it. We state facts, not fiction. Pianos carefully and properly - tuned at. correct prices by Prof. J. G.

Medical skill seemed unavailing- in stopping the ravages of the terrSble disease. The leg- was swollen and intensely painful, as the ulcer had eaten its way down to the very bone. All medicines and treatments having failed to effect a cure, the doctors said the leg must come off. Just when it seemed that Mr. Amnions woiild pecome a disabled and a crippled man, he tried P. P. P., Lippman's Great Remedy, and the re sult was wonderful. P. P. P. SAVES HIS LEG. " Jacksonville-Fla., July 1, 1895. Two years ago I had the worst ulcer on my leg I ever saw. It had eaten down to the bone, and my whole leg below my knee, and my foot was swollen and inflamed. The bono was swollen and painful, and discharged a most offensive matter. My physicians said I had necrosis of the bone, and my leg would have to come off. At this stage I commenced to take P. P.P. and to bathe my leg with hot castile soap suds. It began to improve at once and healed rapidly, and is to-day a sound and useful leg. 'I think P. P. P., Lippman's Great Remedy, is all a man could ask for as a blood purifier, as I have known it to euro so meterrible cases of blood poi soning in a remarkably short time. -"ASA AMMONS." TERRIBLE BLOOD POISON.' The body covered with sores two bottles of P. P. P. made a positive and permanent cure. This is only one of many thousand similar cases. Catarrh yields at once to P. P. P. That smothered feeling at night, that heavy feeling in the day can and should be removed ; P. P. P. will do it .if you only give it a chance.' Indigestion and constipation go hand in hand. Headaches and total loss of appetite are the results. Regulate yourself and tone up your stomach with P. P. P. Sold by all drug-gist. thecarlM, Sole Prep'ra, - ck, Savaaaah Oa. For Sale by R. R.

Today's market for stocks was almost a repetition of yes terday's, whatever strength there was generally manifested, not outlasting very long the close of the London exchange and the strength reflected from there, which was, however, less marked than yesterday. London also was again a pur chaser of securities in this market, though not in so large a volume as yesterday.- Some purchases were also said to -fee for Holland account. The stocks bought by the foreigners were Union Pa cific, St. Paul and Louisville and Nash ville and Norfolk and Western. Some sales for foreign account were also made. The selling movement in Sugar and Chicago Gas became heavy later in the day, Sugar being sold on reports ot jeopardy to the sugar schedule of the amended tariff bill, and. Chicago Gas on reports of the unlikelihood that expected beneficial legislation could be enacted in Illinois. This caused such sharp declines in those stocks that the depression spread by sympathy through the list. The- dullness of trading was In part due to the expected announcement of further gold shipments, but these were not forthcoming, beyond an increase of only $50,000 by a house which had al ready announced $o00.000 by tomorrow's steamer. Whatever shipments may be made by Saturday's steamer are now expected to be small, as was foreshadow ed last night. There is, in fact, a very light demand for exchange and no en couragement to offer bills against gold. It is evident that a very small quantity of these would break the exchange mark et below the profitable point for gold ship ments. What shipments may be forth coming 'on ' special orders from Europe of course, remain open to conjecture. The considerable purchases of our se curities by London yesterday and today has a tendency to wreaken exchange. An increase in the exports from the port of New York, far the week of $1,540,266, somewhat offset the enormous imports of last week, and the government re ceipts from customs from day to day show that this week's imports will hardly reach anything like last week's figures. On the other hand. New York exchange on Paris shows a tendency to harden and the Paris rate on London declined slight ly again today. As a result of the upward movement of stocks today and the subsequent reaction net changes are for the most part very narrow. The restricted character of the market is shown by the fact that Sugar and Chicago Gas absorbed over one-third of the total dealings, and as these two stocks were notably depressed they con stituted an effective drag on the market. The foreign purchases of stocks : were estimated from 12,000 to 15.000 shares. The total sale of stocks for the day amount ed to 127,536 shares, including American Sugar 25,300, Burlington and Quincy 7,000, Chicago Gas 23,200, St. Paul, preferred. 10,100, Wabash, preferred, 11,100, New Jersey Central 6,000. The bond market maintained a firm tone generally with purchases for foreign ac count again noted. Gains of slight frac tions were generally made in the leading Issues, with the speculative liens absorb ing the bulk of the dealings. Improve ments of 1 to 2 per cent, were scored in some of the inactive middle grade stocks. The aggregate transactions were $1,125,000. Governments were dull but a hardening tendency was apparent in the new fours. Tb.e sales were $32,000. - Cotton Futures. (Special to The Messenger.) New York, ; May 12. Liverpool disap pointed the bulls greatly today. The early cables reported that market as un changed, but It weakened sharply later in the day. In addition to this, Liverpool sent large selling orders here, and our marketppened weak at a decline of 5 pomtsi The trading was teatureless dur ing the morning, but in the afternoon the market, led by July, which month ap- paretnly is, mildly manipulated, recovered the whole loss. The advance, however. was not fully maintained. August opened t 7.38, declined to 7.36, advanced to 7.43, declined to 7.39 and closed at 7.39 to 7.40, (-with the tone of the market steady.

While we can see nothing to make short sales of the "summer months at tractive, we think expectations of a ma terial advance must be relinquished until these conditions change. RIORDAN & CO. (By Associated Press.) New York, May 12. The cotton market- showed considerable irregularity today.. selling off in the forenoon, but rallying partially later in the session, with the market finally steady at a net decline of 1 to 5 points. The early weakness in cotton was due primarily to very disap pointing cables from Liverpool in view of the advance that took place In our market yesterday afternoon. At the same time crop accounts, while more or less conflicting, had a bearish average during the forenoon. Later in the session there was some rally on less favorable weather predictions, pointing to indications ot showers all over the cotton belt within the next twenty-four hours. Much of the time, June and, July contracts held . a firm relation to the general market, owing to continued interest shown by American spinners and exporters in spot cotton. During the afternoon, buying on southern orders was a feature, while room traders met the demand without hesitation. At the weakest interval the market today showed a net loss of 4 to 7 points. The Chicago Markets. Chicago, May 12. Wheat bulls had a strong inning today, lasting about an hour and then the bears went in and were still batting in an irresolute way at the close, the score standing c in their ta vor at the call of time. Crop damage re ports caused the early strength and real izing was the principal reason for the de cline. Corn was a shade easier and c lower in the end. Oats also lost a trifle, but averaged firm. Provisions were rather weaker, but the changes in prices were in the end very slight. Trashy Medicines. Many such flood the market.

"The collections of disintegrated or broken ' down vesical or rental calculi which form the subject of the following analysis and researches, were sent-me by Doctar Edward Chambers Laird, resident physician Buffalo Lithia Springs, Virginia, U.

These disintegrated renal calculi are very numerous, and present themselves in the forms of grains of various sizes (from that of the size of a pin to that of a pea) of reddish, yellow color, very hard and nucleus in the center. They are thus composed: Urate of ammonia for the greater part. Free uric acid small quan tity; Carbonate of Ammonia and Mag nesia small quantity. (Calculus "B" magnified 20 diameters.) This disintegrated vesical calculus pre sents itself in the form of many frag ments of a granular aspect of a greyish white color. They are easily broken, and the contexture of the fragments show that they are porous throughout.

Not a leader such as Gor man or McPherson, who will sell them selves to the trust devil for sugar Stock. Not a leader who thinks he Is obeying the voice of the people when he stands for a cane patch in his dis trict against the rights and interests of the seventy millions of American peo pled But a gTeat-hearted and broad gauged patriot, who is a democrat on principle and holds his democracy as he does his religion. A leader who will never surrender or oompromise until the rights of the people of the whole country are protected. One, not the vile agent of trusts and tariff robbers and a trampler upon the poor, the wi dow and the orphan and the industries of his country at the bidding of his plutocratic masters. When we have such a leader, the democratic party will once more rule the country. New Or leans States. Great things are claimed for the mu tilated Dingley tariff, amended and re written by the republican members of the senate finance committee until its original framers couldr hardly find traces of their handiw'ork, as great things were claimed for the Dinelev tariff in its original form as a restor ative of prosperity and a remedy for all our serious ins. it may be that there is some occult power in this tariff which will enable us to lift ourselves out of the slough of industrial depres sion by our boot straps, start the cart before the horse, build prosperity upon expectations, and put it in the power of manufacturers to prosper by starting up their mills even though there be no market for the products. But if there is not some such magic power in the Dingley-tariff it must fail as a restora tive of prosperity it must fail to bring prosperity to manufacturers, for the mere - starting up of mills will not make a demand for manufactured goods, and to increase the output of mill and factory, with the result of piling up the products in storehouses, cannot but lead to ruin and disaster and a thickening of the clouds of in dustrial stagnation. The building of higher tariff rates with a view to re-, pressing importations of foreign goods can avail our manufacturers nothing, ior it is not an increase in lmDorta- tions of foreign goods, it is not a re placing of the products of our own mills in our own markets, with goods of foreign manufacture, that has been the cause of manufacturing depression. Therefore to build up tariff duties to check imports, to provide a remedy for an evil that does not exist, can profit us nothing. The seat of our troubles lies! in a dire falling off in the con sumption of manufactured goodss lies in the 4 impoverishment of those who buy the products of mill and factory. Philadelphia American.
