Jenkins, of Lithonia, Ga., ays that his daughter, Ida, inherited a severe case of Eczema, which the usual mercury and potash remedies failed to relieve. Year by year 6he was treated with various medicines, external appli cations and internal remedies, without result. Her sufferings were intense, and her condition grew steadily -worse. All the so-called blood remedies did not seem tc reach the dis ease at all until S. S.S. was given, when an improvement was at once noticed. The medicine was continuecd with fav orable results, and now she is cured sound and well, her skin is perfectly clear and pure and she has been saved from what threat ened to blight her life forever. S.S.S. guaranteed purely vegetaoiey cures Eczema, Scrofula, Cancer, Rheu matism, or any other blood trouble. It is arealblocd remedy and always cures even after all else fails.

Dr. PAUL BARRINGER Of the University of, Virginia, Recoiieiias Mrs. Griers Reel Kair Resiora. A perfect remedy for dandruff and falling hair. ',, Mr t R. Neel. of Davidson College, writes:. In 1886 'my little daughter sud denly and unaccountably lost all her hair. From the crown down ana irum ear 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 that only one more bottle was needed. Ten years have elapsed and no one has a finer suit of hair. . Less than one bottle is often effectual in checking falling hair. Read inter esting history of R. H. R. MRS. M. G. GRIER, Harrisburg, N.

Elliot Danforth chairman of the democratic state com mittee came to town today after a trip through the interior of the state, during which he had talks with the leaders of the party. "I have talked with leaders of ths democratic party In Albany and other counties lately" said Mr. D&nforth, to an Evening Post reporter, "and I found that while there is a disposition to fft together, there is no disposition to Ig nore the platform adopted by the na tional convention last year. The dem ocrats up the state believe, and I be lieve, that a platform adopted by the national convention of the party stands not for six months, or for a year, but for four years. The democrats of this state indorsed the national platform at the Buffalo convention, and the party stands on that paltform till the next national convention meets. "There is no doubt that the nation al platform expressed the wishes of the great masses of democrats of the state last year and it does today, 'i tre mendous vote polled for our tic, in this city 135,000, under the most dis couraging conditions, shows what the local democracy thought of the plat form. Those 135,000 voters, I have no doubt, thin,k the same way today and I do not think they will be content to have their national platform ignored "It is true that the democrats of the city and the state have plenty of other issues to make their fight on . The ex travagance of the republican legisla ture, the high tax rate, the Raines law amendments and Black civil service law are good issues and may help the democrats to victory, but, as I said, the Chicago platform stands for four years and the mass of the party will adhere to it, I think." "Will the state organization make any declaration in that direction?" was asked- "I do not know yet," replied Mr. Danforth, "but I suppose the state committee will place itself on record at tie proper time. We shall have no state convention this year. The state committee will meet, probably in Au gust, to select the candidates for judge of the court of appeals and then an ad dress may be issued, stating the Issues on vhich we propose to make the fight. Anyhow, we shall have to address the people in some form some time that they may know where we stand. Our platform will be thoroughly discussed at the state committee meeting, and, while I cannot speak for the commit tee, I can say that from my talk with the party leaders, I judge that there will be no basksliding from the Chical go platform." .

Clos. The New York Stock Market, New York, May 27. The market was quite strong for a time today, but the rather sensational slump in the Rubber shares and the large selling in Baltimore and Ohio put a stop to the rise and also to the activity of the trading. The vol ume of the dealings in all stocks for the three hours of trading after the noon hour was about one-third of that for the two hours before noon. The lack of confi dence in the stability of values on the part of the professional traders, who still control the market almost altogether, was illustrated by the promptitude with which they proceeded to take profits on rather slight provocation. Those who are doing the bulk of the trading are evidently in the market for a short turn, though there was some continuance today of the com mission house buying which has indicated awakening of outside interest in the mar ket. The fall in; the Rubber shares was coupled with a rumor that it was caused by liquidation of interests retiring on ac count of the declination of a re-election by President Evans. This accentuated the decline without the sales reaching an extraordinary volume. After an extreme decline of 3Vs for the common stock and 4 for the preferred, these stocks ral lied rather strongly, tne common closing at V. and the Dreferred at 60V2. All the securities of the Baltimore and Ohio that were dealt in showed continued heaviness, on the belief that the company will de fault on its June 1st interest payments, which, including interest on both bonds and receiver's certificates, amount to about $600,000. The stock fell 1 and ral lied only the fraction. Of the hands the 5's of 1S95 sold 10 points off at 80; the registered 8 points off at 75, and the con solidated 5's 12 points off at 90, seller twenty days. One or two other incidents served to depress values somewhat, one being the hearing of arguments on the or der enjoining the summonses to coal road presidents to answer charges of con spiracy under the New York anti-trust law. This hearing was postponed with out notably relieving the coal shares from pressure. Some sentimental effect was exerted upon Sugar stock by the trial of the president ot tne company ior con tempt of the senate, but the dismissal of the case at Washington yielded no sub stantial benefit to the stock. The stock was remarkably dull at the periods ot declines. London appeared a ready buyer of nearly all the international stocks when they fell below the London -parity. The total purchases for London account were estimated at 12,000. The net changes in prices are narrow, but. are mostly losses, some few Stocks showing gains which reached 1 point in the cases of Michigan Central and Erie first preferred. The total sales oft stocks for the day amounted to 136.593 shares, including American Sugar 12.S00, Burlington and Quincy 21,100, Chicago Gas 12.900, St. Paul 17,700, Western Union 5,600. The railway and miscellaneous bond market was char acterized by violent fluctuations in a num ber of issues, Including the Baltimore and Ohio liens which are elsewhere referred to, and Kansas . City and Pacific first, which receded 3 per cent. Marked strength was noted in some of the prom inent issues, which was attributed to liberal purchases for continental accounts. The sales were. 11.239,000. Government bonds were strong, arid higher on trans actions of $43,000. v:-.:- - The Suit Dismissed. Macon, Ga., May 27.

Incident in Life of Fulton There was one little incident in Robert Fulton's life about which few people know and which Fulton never forgot. It took place shortly before the return trip of his famous boat's voyage by steam up the Hudson river. At the time all Albany flocked to the wharf to see the strange craft, but so timerous were they that few cared to board her. One gentleman, however, not only boarded her, but sought out i Button, whom he found in the cabin, and the fol lowing conversation took place: I "This is Mr. J? ulton, 1 presume .' "Yes, sir." ! "Do vou return to New York with this boat?" "We shall try to get back, sir. "Have you any objection to my return ing with you?" "If you wish to take your chances with us, sir, I have no objection." "What is the fare?" After a moment's hesitation Fulton re nlied. "Six dollars." - And when that amount was laid in his hand he gazed at it a long time, and two big tears rolled down his cheeks. Turn ing to the passenger, he said: "Excuse me, sir, but this is the first ( pecuniary reward I have received for all my exertion in adapting steam to navi gation. I would gladly commemorte the occasion with a little dinner, but I am too poor now even far that. .If we meet again, I trust it will not be the case." As history relates, the voyage termi nated successfully. Four years later Ful ton was sitting in the cabin of the Cler mont, then called the North River, when a gentleman entered. Fulton glanced at him. and then sprang up and gladly shook his hand.

Possibilities of Sugar Beet Culture The failure of the Wisconsin Beet Sugar company, which is announced in a dis Datch from Milwaukee, should not go un- observered by farmers and others who are interesting themselves in the possioimie of supplying the country with sugar from sugar beets.

It must be that the ex-senator's friends J have been moving in this matter with- j cut his knowledge or consent. For, ac cording to our recollection, there was never Jn the senate a member more strongly opposed to the practice of lob bying "than Mr. Call. And it was quite natural that he should oppose the practice, for it not only detracts from the dignity of the senators to have lob byists hanging on to their buttonholes and coat-tails, but frepUently perverts the votes of the senators from the recog nized high senatorial purpose of con serving the interests of , the people. Now, as everybody knows, Mr. Call was a great stickler for the dignity of the senate and the fulfillment of duties to , the dear people. He has even suggest ed that newspaper . correspondents be fired out of the press galleries because they dared to suggest in their letters: that certain senators were not conduc ing to the dignity . of "the most august deliberative body in the world" and voting in the interest of the beloved populace. I We have it upen the authority of the Washington Star that there is at the capital at this time a very large profes sional lobby made up of ex-senators. This body, our contemporary says, is "growing in. size and the bold ness of operations." Is the gen- . tleman from Florida going to become a member of this body? The Star goes on to say with regard to it: "For some years these former members of the upper house, have set up in business in Washington with their prestige and special privi leges as a stock in trade, have led all of the lobbies in daring ventures, and their services have been generally rec-. ognized and handsomely rewarded by the various interests that seek to. secure favorable legislation' by the par ticular methods best known to mem bers of congress, and hence to retired statesmen." What this means is that the lobbyists are employed by trusts, corporations or other interests to bring about the pas sage of bills which may or may not be in the interests of the people most often, not and that thev receive big; pay for their lobbying. Ex-Senator Call, however, is to become a lobbyist in the interest of Florida's Indian war. claims. Of course he will devote his mhnU attention to that matter ftfl- annah News. ' The Florida Keys The word "key" is incorrect as,' ap plied to an island. It is a corruption of the Spanish word "cayo," meaning a small island. "Key West" is wrong, too. Its true name is "Cayo Hueso." or Bone Key, but we have Anglicized, and got 'it as far wrong as possible.lt is not even the western key of that chain. Such distinction belongs to the Dry Tortugas, many miles farther west. -The Dry Tortugas is fortified, and was a naval post during the late war. it was also the prison of military con victs. It is a small, low. sandy Island, projecting but a. few feet at any point above high water. To the east several small keys intervene before Key West is reached. The latter is but a few hun- hred acres in extent, but, because of its fairly good harbor, a commercial city of about 25,000 populattion has been built on its rocky face. From the chan nel leading up from Florida straits it presents a most picturesque appear ance, with low-lying shore, fringed with the long-armed and high-tufted cocoa- nut palms outlined against the sKy, and the little squatty dwellings. Its aspect is purely oriental and topical. and there is not a port in America bearing the least resemblance to it. Of late years the main town has assumed American airs, and several large build ings have been erected, but happily the shore still presents a vision of fair Cathay. Here is another stone fort now utterly useless, except" as a tomb for its garrison in case of an attack. Modern ordinace would riddle it as though it were pasteboard. Yet, in case of war with a naval power. Key West would be an important strategic point. Sponging, fishing and cigar making are the principal industries of this topical city. It is the headquarters of the sponge trade of the western hemisphere. The fishing industry is an important one, and well may it be, for the waters fairly teem with fish of all descriptions.
