An "increase in the death rate for the army from 13.84 per thousand, 1901, to 15.49 per thoua and,-1902, is shown by the annual re- port of Surgeon-General O'Rellley for the fiscal year ending June 30. This increase is attributed to cholera which caused 3.54 deaths per 1.000.

" . New York, Get. 7. Mr. B. P. Yoat : urn, president of the St. Louis and San - Francisco and chairman of the exeauH : tive committee of the Seaboard Air Line, has been elected a director of the Chicago, Bock Island and Pacific rail way. As the Frisco Is owned by the Bock Island, . Mr. Yoakum's election is of no special significance, and was contemplated before he became Inter ed In . the Seaboard. It - does show, however, the commuity of interest now existing between the . Bock Island, Frisco and Seaboard properties.: :,y ' New York, Oct. 7. It is stated here today on the authority of a gentleman In a position to know that. J. Ogden Armour of Chicago, whose daughter ' Lolita was cured of congenital dislo , cation of the the hip by Dr. Lorenz, is to establish a chair of orthopedic sur . gery in at least one hospital In each of the leading cities In each state of the union and several In Canada. Mr. Armour is so encouraged over the re covery of his daughter that he has decided to found the chairs, or, more - properly, beds, in the leading hos pitals of the country;. , , BMritht MtyYoa Haw Always Biiigtt ' CURES CATARRH. : 'Hyomei the Most Wonderful Cure for Catarrh Ever Discovered" 8ays ; J.

Hyomei is the only known method of treatment that accomplishes this. It is the simplest, most pleasant, and the only absolute cure for catarrh that nas ever been discovered. i . Thousands of unsolicited testimo nials have been received from the most prominent men and women in the country who4iave been cured by this remarkable remedy. Ministers, bank ers, lawyers, even eminent physicians have sent strong testimonials as to the remarkable powers of Hyomei to cure - catarrh. The complete Hyomei outfit costs but tl.00, consisting of an Inhaler, dropper and sufficient Hyomei to last some weeks. This will effect a cure in ordi nary cases, but for chronic and ; deep seated cases of catarrh, longer use is rocessary, and then extra bottles of Hyomei can be obtained for 50c. It is not alone ths best (it might be called the only) method of curie? catarrh, but it is also the most economical. J. E.

Baek Wm the Vlctlaa I Btr Oa " Tilt Tr ummet la m , It was in a Boston street car. When the car stopped at a crossing, a lady got Up and went to the door. As ah rose there" was the chink of a coin on the floor, but before it occurred to any ene to stop her she was ont of the car and across the street Two ladies who had sat next to her looked with anx loust Indifference on the floor. One of them leaned slightly forward, but said nothing. Just as the conductor was reaching for the bell rope a young man spied the coin and dashed out of the car. ,; He caught the lady who bad left the car, handed her the coin, ran back, caught the step of the car as the mo tors began to sing In crescendo and sat down breathless. One of the two ladles opposite him leaned forward and said coldly, "Young ruin, what did you do with the nickel I dropped T' , The pas sengers tittered. An old man at the other end of the car turned to his neighbor. "That reminds me," he said, "of something that happened to my wife years ago. , "It was before the days of conduct ors, when we used to drop our nickels into a slot, and they ran down a groove the box behind the driver. "My wife bad started out with a lit tle change and one of those trouble some five dollar goldpieces which used to be more commonly in circulation than they are now. Her eyes were not good, and so she was nervous about her ifoldpiece and had It on her mind all the way downtown. "When she took a car for home, she met a friend and grew interested In conversation with her. She put her coin in the jslot absentmindedly. The driver turned as It struck the box. You remember the coin fell into a glass compartment first, and then the driver pushed a lever which sent It into the strong box, below. ; "As my wife heard the click of the lever she thought of her five dollar goldpiece. -She looked in her purse. Sure enough, It w as gone. She went forward and spoke to the driver. He said he hadn't looked very carefully, but he thought there were only three nickels in the glass receptacle when he pushed the lever. ' , "My wife insisted, v The driver aatd If she would tide to the end of the line the cashier at the station would open the box. This meant a journey of two miles beyond our-street, and my wifei was In a hurry. ' - -. "An old gentleman who sat by the door said he was going to the end of the line and offered to give her 4.85 cents and get the goldpieee at the sta tlon. My wife thanked him and took the money. " When she got home, she found the five dollar goldpiece In the lining of her purse.. :: ... Next day I went to the station. The cashier said an old gentleman had made him open the box. There was no gold- piece. The old gentleman had left In a rage, refusing to give his name. He said be had been swindled and did not want to be known for a fool. "We advertised In the papers, but we never heard from him." Youth's Com panion; , .. Amiauri Worship Amoaff the Hebrews The Old s Testament record show, notwithstanding the various revisions through which these venerable books have passed, many indications of ani mal i. worship among the Israelites, which must have lasted for ages be fore .the prohibition inculcated In the second, line of the Decalogue was for mulated.: At a comparatively late date "Jehovah : was "worshiped nnder the popular symbol of a. bull, while the twelve oxen upholding the : laver 'ln Solomon's temple, as well as the horns adorning the altar, were drawn from the prevalent bull worship." Modern research has also proved that the cherubim were represented in the form of winged bulls. .M. Lenorman't In his famous book on the "Beginnings of History" says that during the time of the kings and prophets most as suredly the cherubim, as there describ ed, are animals." Flefctins; Bishop. . t. On one occasion Bishop Selwyn was going down the river Walks to with Maori when the latter, who was very lazy, left off paddling the canoe, at the same- time muttering that if Selwyn were not a bishop he . would well, 'go for him." In a moment the bishop told the , man to turn the canoe ashore, where, stripping himself of everything episcopal, be said, pointing , to bis robes, etc: "The bishop lies there; the man is here. I am quite ready; come on." The Maori did not "come on," however, but quietly resumed bis work without another murmur. London Tit Bits. , ' I i Nw Terk Sheriff.. The reasoK why the sheriff of New York cannot be elected to two succes sive terms is this: It is the sheriff's duty to carry out the process of courts cgaiust official delinquents during trial and after conviction. Should a sheriff endeavor forcibly to hold over for a second time after having been defeated for re-election he would be the Instru ment of the court's process against L'msclf, a paradoxical position which the law avoids ty making LIm Ineligi ble for re-election. ' SIR THOMAS LlPTON ;: Buys Farm in Georgia and Will Raise . ' Fruits and Vegetables. - o N Atlanta, Oct, 7. Sir Thomas Ltptou, the great sportsman, statesman end merchant of the Emerald Isle, who has endeared himself to the hearts of Ana leans by his sportsmanlike efforts to lift the international yacht cup, and who has proven himself so good a loser, Jhas acquired a large estate in Georgia and. will begin atoncethe cultivation , of ,a gigantic fruit and vegetable farm, from which he supply the London markets with choicest fruits and vegetables. It II well known fact that the fruits and vegetables that are sold in the London markets are of inferior grades and ire sold for enormous prices, and it is with the idea of benefitting humanity as well as carrying out his own desires that the Irish lord has decided to embark on the' agricultural sea.

Charleston, S. C, Oct. 7. The mem bers of the Commercial Club of Charleston will hold a conference to discuss the question of opening up a steamboat line between Charleston and Georgetown. The water commerce be tween Charleston and .Georgetown has been considerable In years past Lately, however, the line has been abandoned, for the reason that Mark Moses, the owner of the steamboats has moved to New York and closed out his interests. To reopen the steamboat line will not involve a very large expenditure of money, and it is , proposed to or ganize a company with a capital stock Of $40,000, About one-third of that amount has been subscribed.

While the lack of moisture is affecting late seeded crops v adversely, and the ground has become too dry and hard for the continuation of fall plowing, otherwise conditions were very favorable for gathering matured crops and for all farm work. Very lit tle plowing has been done, -and only small quantities of : winter wheat and oats were seeded during the week. i Cotton J la opening very rapidly; with weather conditions favorable for picking, which Is progressing rapidly the cool nights have injured the top crop; in many fields in the south cot ton is all open; the estimate is that nearly half the cotton has already been picked, and the yield is undoubtedly short Gathering late corn has ad vanced well; some late corn has been injured by lack of sufficient moisture. Tobacco has all been safely housed, except in a few sections in the north western part of the State. : Digging peanuts and sweet potatoes are under way, with fairly good yields. Most of the pea vine hay crop, nearly all of the fodder and other forage' crops have been housed under favorable con ditions. Clover and turnips are being much Injured by drought Some wheat and oats were seeded during the week, but cannot come - up without rain. Forest fires are reported in the north eastern part of the State. N. B.

Yesterday at 4 o'clock p. m., Mr. W. M. Forrest led Miss Ida Stocks to the Hymeneal altar. Rev. Charles Vause performed the ceremony. It was a quiet home marriage. On every hand we hear regrets of having gone into hail insurance for tobacco. Our community la very for tunate in not having any hall during the crop growing season, and now that it has come time to pay the assessment it seems hard to pay. One cannot do other than pay it, since he has gone into it. whether the hail came or not, his crop was Insured and if it had been destroyed he would expect dam ages. It is not the writer's purpose to decide whether it is better to buy' the insurance or not, however, this much is true; some farmers can carry their own insurance better than many others and each should be governed by his conditions, using his good sense and better judgment, rather than to yield to the natural Inclination of getting "In the Swim." Many went into hail insurance because "everybody else was in it, " and since there has been no hail the assessment is hard for them to pay. . Why should we sacri floe our convictions and better bus! ness judgment for the purpose of being with the majority? This inclination is manifest too often in many things besides buying hall Insurance.
