Neel, of Davidson College, writes: In 18S6 my little daughter sud denly and unaccountably lost all her hair. From the crown down and from car to ear was as bald as the palm of the hand. Months and months passed and the frightful baldness remained. My physician, Dr. Paul - Barringer, recommended Mrs. Grier's Real Hair Restorer. Determined to give it a fair trial I bought a half dozen bottles. Three bottles of it faithfully used, pro duced no visible effect, but one morn ing, soon after beginning the fourth bottle, to our surprise and delight, a new growth of hair appeared and so rapid and complete was the restoration nniv one more bottle was needed. Ten years have elapsed and no one has it nf hair. Less than one bottle is often effectual in nbkine falling hair. Read inter esting history of R. H. R. MRS. M. G. GRIER, Harrisburg, N. C. HOBERT R.

A Jaded Appetite means a jaded, listless system a condition so prevalent at this particular season. Nature endeavors to throw off the accumulated impurities, and unless properly assisted, the -system is greatly depressed while this change is taking place. The appetite fails, the energies relax, and a good-for-nothing feeling pervades the entire body. Nature requires Ba Sa S to i thorouehlv cleanse-the blood, and renovate the sys tern, so that Spring will cause no unpleasant effects. No - blood remedy on the market compares with S. S. S., for it is the only one guaranteed purely vegetable. All others contain either arsenic, mer cury or potash, which are so injurious to the digestive or gans. S. S. S. builds up the system, imparts new vigor, and renews the appetite. I n -sist on S. S. S. There is Nothing Half as Good! Or; A OUM GE The Honorable J. F.

About two years ago I had a severe attack of rheumatism, was confined to my room for twelve weeks, and during that time was induced to try P. P. P., Lippman's Great Remedy, knowing that each ingredient was frood for impurities of the blood. After tise nir twn small hnttles 1 was relieved. At four different times since I have had slight attacks and each time I have takea tw.o small ootties of P. P. P., and have been relieved, and I con sider P. P. P. the best medicine of its kind. Respectfully, J.F.GREER. James M. Newton, of Aberdeen, Ohio, savs he bought a bottle of P. P. P. at Hot Springs, Arkansas, and it did him more good than three montns treat ment at Hot SDrincs. Rheumatism, as well as sciatica ana gout, is cured by a course of P. P. P. Lippman s Great Remedy, ' P. P. P., Lippman's Great Remedy, is a friend indeed to weak women.

The tremendous potentiality for evil always latent in the "eastern question" was measured to some degree by the sense of relief reflected in the exchanges of the world today over Turkey's acceding to the demand of the powers for a cessation of hostilities against Greece. "Values all over Europe improved from moment to moment, and even American securities, remote as are the properties , they represent from any danger of harm in the cataclysm of an European war, advanced in price all through the market. The improved tone abroad was the salient influence on the market, but it was aided by various favorable domestic factors in the situa tion. The further weakening of the ex change market, both for sterling and for continental exchange, added to the conviction that if any gold Is exported this week, the amount will be small. There was in the tone of the stock market a reflected indifference to the pos sibility of action by the senate on the Cuban question that might be unaccep table to Spain. This was partly due to the belief prevalent in Wall street, that the administration has determined upon a conservative policy on Cuba, but hold ers of securities are also less inclined to timidity on account of the agitation of the Cuban question than was formerly the case. Perhaps the' restricted volume of the trading was due In part to the Cuban discussion In the senate, the total sales reaching only about 135,000 shares. Although about half this amount was absorbed by the five leading stocks, the smaller sales were better distributed through the list than for some time past, many usually inactive shares came in for a degree for activity. Chicago Gas was the leader of the market and was strong all day until just before the close when it reacted a sharp fraction.

Federal and Sti Crop Bnlltlai -Vashington, May. 18,-JThe weather bureau in its report Of crop conditions for the week ended May 17th, says: In the central valleys the week has been favorable for farming operations, but it has been too cool for rapid ger mination,, or growth. On the Atlantic coast, the temperature conditions have been more favorable, which, with abun dant rains, have caused, rapid ad vancement of crops, but farm "work has been retarded to some extent, as a result of excessive moisture. , Corn planting is now in progress in the most northerly sections, having been started during the week in North Dakota and Minnesota. In the south ern states, the early corn is earing and i3 being laid by. The reports indicate an improvement in the conditions of cotton in the Car olinas, Georgia, Alabama and Texas. In the last named state, however, some damage has resulted from excessive rains and insects. Cold nights have proved unfavorable in Arkansas and Louisiana where stands are poor and where insects have caused Injury. Bad stands and complaints from cut worms are also reported from Tennessee. Winter wheat continues in most promising condition in the middle At lantic states. Kentucky and Tennes see, although some Injury from chinch bugs is reported from Virginia and North Carolina; it Is now heading as far north as the Ohio river and south ern Missouri. - Spring wheat seeding is now finished and the early sown is generally doing weUi but needs rain in portions of South Dakota and Washington. Trans planting of tobacco has commenced in Connecticut and Kentucky ar.J is pro gressing favorably in Tenness and Virginia. "Much of the crop has .been set in the Carolinas. - , Raleigh, N. C, May 18. The weekly crop bulletin says: The week ending Monday, May 17th,.was very favorable for agricultural interests and the crop prospects have decidedly improved throughout the state. The drought was broken by warm and generous rains on four days of the week, averaging near ly 2.00 inches over the state; and was too heavy with a little hail at only a few places. The temperature was above the normal to the 15th, after which it turned cooler and growth was slightly checked. The season was especially favorable for transplanting tobacco which made good progress.

D., Atlanta, Ga. Troubles of the Western Railway Associa. tions. Chicago, May 18. It seems unlikely that the Western Passenger Associa tion will secure the membership it de sires to have by the first of June. The executive committee has labored un ceasingly to get the roads into the as sociation, but, despite all its work there are several of the roads that have not yet become members and there seems to be no immediate pros pect of their doing so. The Canadian Pacific has not yet signed the agree ment and, as a consequence, neither the Great Northern or the Northern Pacific have joined the association. They have practically assured Chair man White, of the executive commit tee, that they will join as soon as the Canadian Pacific becomes a member, and they have not absolutely refused to sign the agreement in case the Ca nadian Pacific finally refuses to join. The Wisconsin Central and the Great Northern are still hanging out and they have given no indication of their inten tion. The agreement of the freight men en tered into last week for the . preserva tion of rates is not preserving them to that extent that. is considered desirable by the conservative members of the as sociation. The lumber rates from Wis-, consin points to the Mississippi river, which were in a state of demoraliza tion when the agreement was formed, are still in the same condition and there seems to be no immediate chance for their betterment. In various other parts of the territory rates are demor alized and nobody seems to be making any effort to re-establish them on the old basis. Old People. Editor Morrison of Worthington, Ind "Sun," writes: "You have a valuable prescription in Electric Bitters, and I can cheerfully recommend -it for Con stipation and Sick Headache, and as a general system tonic it has no equal." Mrs. Annie Stehle, 2625 Cottage Grove Ave., Chicago, was all run down, eould' not eat nor digest food, had a back ache which never left her and felt tired and weary, but six bottles of Electric Bitters restored her health and re newed her strength.

The liquidation of yes' terday had eivdently evened up accounts pretty well, for trading today was ex ceedingly quiet. Liverpool, which has so far led the decline, was more en couraglng this morning; prices there were slightly higher. The opening here was better in consequence. There was no feature of interest .during the morning. and the market fluctuated within narrow limits. The government weekly crop bul letin gave-comfort to the bears by its splendid report on the crop in the At lantic states and it pleased the bulls with the rather poor showing reported from Texas, " Tennessee and Arkansas. In the af ternoou one house was a heavy buyer and prices advanced. August opened at 7.31, fluctuated between this figure and 7.28 and then advanced to' 7.34. and closed at 7.33 to 7.34, with the tone of the market steady. The indications are that the ma jority of transactions will soon be con fined to the next crop, as the summer months are in such a position as to render them capable of manipulation. RIORDAN & CO.

Nothing in the shape of a report has yet been receiver Jiere from Mr. Calhoun, the specia counsel for the government in the in vestigation of the Ruiz case in Havana and nothing further from Consul Gen eral Lee, beyond a brief notice of the release and departure from the island ef a naturalized American citizen, has come to the department. It is evident that he is awaiting the action' of the government under the advices he and hig subordinate consuls have furnished as to the state of the Americans In the eastern and central portion of Cuba. General Lee has informed the state department that Jos. L. Cepero has been released and sailed from Havana on the 13th instant. Cepero was a na tive Cuban, but was naturalized in the United States in 1881. He was arrested on a steamer sailing between Cienfue- gos and Batabano, on a charge of se dition; but Oeneral Lee succeeded in having his case removed to the civil courts, which resulted in his release. The memorial numerously signed by business men of New York, Philadel phia. St. Louis and other large cities having dealings with Cuba, asking the government to do somethings to bring to an end the present state of affairs in Cuba, was received at the state de partment today by Secretary Sherman.
