OTCOBSpjf PmmMf M Colemafl&Co Jewelry momnnnci THE WAY OF THE WOELD. j , "Left Shivering in the Cold Wind of j Adversity." i New York, Feb. 10. -Two weeks ago a man with gray hair, white mustaclie and piercing black eyes sat in a car rolling over the Brooklyn bridge. . His face was oval, but deadly pale. A battered old hat sat on the back of his head, revealing a broad forehead, and more than a tendency to baldness. He wore rusty broadcloth and a low-bosomed vest. His linen was frajTed but clean, and the knot of his white tie was askew, liis coat was worn a la Horace Greeley, and his hands and pockets were filled with newspapers. Ho was conversing on the labor question with a classic-featured lady,dressed neatly but not richly. He spoke in so distinct a tone that he was heard in every part of the car. The man was conversing with his own wife in words that indicated intense conviction of the truth of the views expressed. He was the Cai 1 Marx of America, rough and ready John Swinton. For years has he battled on behalf of labor in the United States. When he began the fight he lived in a brown stone front and had a chef de cui si?ie and $25,000 in government bonds, the latter saved by hard newspaper work at night. To day he is living on the top floor of a Brooklyn tenement house, his fortune lost, but his spirit more de fiant than ever. He has waged a ceaseless fight for the workingmen, and has lived to see another i eap the reward of his labor. Years ago I saw him addressing a labor meeting in Tompkins square. It was a peaceable meeting, but a swarm of locusts descended upon it. The locubts were wielded by police officers. The frightened woikmen were clubbed unmerci fully. Even their women aud children were assaulted. In tones of thunder Swinton protested against the outrage, but in vain. Covered with bruises he was driv en from the platform, and his hear ers weie dispersed in all direc tions. From that da to the present he has thrown himself, body and soul, into the labor movement. HeJ left a most lucrative editorial situ ation on the Sim to start a work-t ingmen's newspaper. His time and his money have been lost in an effort to place it on a good pay ing basis. Hq never faltered m his work, however dark the sky. Despite his trials and misfortunes, his faith in a future workingman's commonwealth is as great as ever. By years of hard work he raised his subscription list to a barely paying basis. Then Hen ry George descended upon the city. Swinton and Dr. McGlynn joined bucklers and headed the Macedonian phalanx. Swinton tried to make his paper the amidu people of the movement; its col umns fairly blazed with war cries. The George fire burned in every department. Apparently the hour for his reward had arrived. In the fullness of his hopes, and while his plume was nodding in the vanguard, he received a dead ly blow in the back. It came from the ranks of those for whom he had so bravely struggled. The Knights of Labor started a daily newspaper, edited by newer and 3'ounger men. Swinton's little weekly dwindled in circulation. It was like a htfndcart compared to a locomotive. The bulk of sub scribers were at remote points. They complained because he left the beaten path of sophistry and filled their ears with George music. The old man refused to listen to their protests, and they deserted him. Ho came out of the Geoige cam paign even poorer than when he went into it. Nothing daunted, however, he picked his flint and entered the lists with renewed nerve and vigor. He pajd closer attention than ever to his news paper. A friend who entered his sanctum six weeks ago tells me that he found him gnawing a beef bone while writing an editorial ar ticle. His faithful wife sat near him, aiding him in his newspaper work. The sky was again bright ening, but it quickly became very dark. Henry George started a weekly newspaper within a stone's throw of Swinton's sanotum. The McGlynn episode gave him a won derful vantage. In one mouth bis new labor organ had reached & circulation of 40,000. His politi- cal campaign has already made him affluent by stimulating the sales of bis books, and the fortune is now to be doubled if not trebled. But what of sturdy old John Svrin ton? He is left shivering in the cold wind of adversit'. Esau has again been robbed of his birth right. The workingmen have turned their backs on the noble old man who has ruined himself in his devotion to their interests, and have fallen on their knees before a new idol. But Swinton is a true philosopher aa well as a born phi lanthropist. The corroding acid of ingratitude cannot eat the pure metal. He will stand by his con victions regiirdless of consequences, even if they lead him to a pauper's grave. After death he may re ceive his reward. A Whirlwind Capsizes a Schooner. Jacksonville, Feb. 21. Just before dark last evening a schoon er seventy-five feet in length, name unknown, was struck by a Whirlwind in the St. John's river and lifted almost wholly out of the water, and twisted half way around, and then suddenly cap sized. Every one on board was drowned. Five men and several women and children were among the lost. The schooner received the full force of the whirlwind, and was then thrown upon her side and her heavy masts and sails dragged her down, and she lay helpless in the water with her keel upturned. The whirlwind was so sudden that not a man on board had time to even attempt to save his life. Physicians Have Fonnd Out That a contaminating and foreiRii element in the blood, developed by indigestion, is the eause of rheumatism. This settles upon the sensitive sub-cutaneous covering of the muscles aud ligaments of the joints, caus ing constant aud shifting pain, and aggre gating as a calcareous, chalky deposit which produces stillness and distortion of the joints. No fact which experience has dem onstrated in regard to Hostetter's Stomrch Bitters has stronger evidence to support than this, namely, that this medicine of comnrehensiv e mes checks the formidable .and atrocious disease, nor is it les positive ly csiauusnen uiai it is preieraoie to ine poisons often used to anest it, since the medicine contains only salutary Ingredients constipation, dyspedsia. kidney and bladder ailments, debility and other disorders.

I had -had recommended Simmons Liver Regulator, of which I am now taking the second bottle, and the fact is that words cannot express the relief I feel. My appetite is very good, and I digest everything thoroughly. I sleep well now, and I used to be very restless. I am flesh ing up fast; good strong food and Simmons Liver Regulator have done it all.
