From th Newark (N.J.) Evening News.
.Valvular disease of the heart has al
ways been considered incurable. The
following interview therefore will interest
the medical profession since it describes
the successful use of a new treatment for
this disease. The patient in Mrs. George
Archer of Clifton, N. J., and this publi
cation by the Newt is the first mention
made of the case by any newspaper. All
physicians consulted pronounced the
patient suffering witli valvular disease
of the heart and treated her without the
slightest relief. Mrs. Archer said: "I
could not walk across the floor; neither
could I go up stairs without stopping to
let the pain in- my chest and left arm
cease. I felt an awful constriction about
my arm and chest as though I were tied
with ropes. Then there was a terrible
noise at my right ear like the labored
breathing of some great animal. I have
often turned expecting to see some crea
ture at my side.
"Last July," continued Mrs. Archer,
" I was at Springfield, Mass., visiting,
and my mother showed me an account
in the Springfield Examiner, telling of
the wonderful cures effected bv the use
of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale Peo
ple. My mother urged me to try the

a box and began taking them, and X have

The Religious Faith of the Presidents.
Everybody in New York has heard of tbe
remark recently made by Colonel Robert
(r. Ingersoll to the effect that Abraham
Lincoln was no more a Christian than Vol
taire was. This has given rise to a discus
lion of the religious views of the martyr
president which promises to have a longrun.
It is a remarkable fact that of the 23
presidents of the United States very little
Is recorded by the biographers of the ma
jority of them as to their religious faith.
It is further remarkable that as to all of
the greatest of them, Washington except
ed, there was much doubt during their
lives and much discussion after their deaths
as to whether they were Christians at all,
and if they were, to what classification of
Christians they properly belonged. By
common consent the greatest presidential
'names are those of Washington, Jefferson,
Jackson, Lincoln and Grant. The religious
ljclief of all these men, except Washington,
was a matter of doubt during the greater
partof their lives, and in the oases of Jef
ferson and Lincoln the two greatest of all
our presidents in the judgment of t he most
- critical and discriminating authorities tbe
"controversy Is'still an open one. v
As to both of the last named presidents
the assertion has been made broadly, as
Colonel Ingersoll has quite recently made
it in regard to Lincoln, that they were not
Christians.. . Tbe panorama of the presi
' dents presents some carious contrasts in
the matter of religious professions, utter
ances and practices of the successive incum
bents of the White House. New York Her

Excitements That Kill.
Now that the season of outdoor ath
letic games has opened, the usual list of
injured from professional games of base
ball, cricket, football and similar rough
games may be expected to appear. But
though a number do get injured in this
in uia v. uj ui D4traoo uium.u .
tion others of an ambitious and excita
ble nature run great risks.
Many of the games demand a contin
ued exertion of a dangerous and reckless
kind, and nothing short of a permanent
injury to the player must follow where
excitable temperaments engage long in
the games. Often One suffers from a
slight heart derangement which-would
never trouble him if be did not strain
himself in excitable games. The true
way is to demand a rigid examination of
all those who would enter into games for
long continued struggles. Exercise of a
proper sort is beneficial, but many can
not stand more than the gentlest sort.

Curfew Will Ring.
An ancient custom has been revived in
the cities and towns in Canada. This is
the ringing of the curfew. In olden
times the curfew was rung at nightfall,
at which time all fires were covered,
lights extinguished, and the people re
tired to rest. The custom was instituted
in the reign of William the Conqueror.
The act passed at the last session of par
liament in Canada is not, however, quite
so strict as the one of olden times. It
provides that at 9 o'clock the curfew
shall be rung, and if any persons under
17 years of age are found on the streets
they shall be locked up by the watchman
or police, and unless satisfactory explana
tion can be given the parents shall be
made to suffer either by confinement in
jail or fine or the sending away of the
children to some public institution where
they will be taken care of until the au
thorities see fit to let them out. Niagara

They burled pretty, unfortunate Mollie
Snow at Guthrie, U. T. a low weoka ago,
the victim of arsonlo administered by her
own band. . Two weeks 'before that the
Indian police killed and buried Bill Snow
near Lonnpah. Wild Bill, as Enow was
called, was a typical, "killer" of the later
day stripe a dapper, well dressed, flashy
looking young follow, with jet blaok hair.
big blaok eyes and a dime novel Tdoaire to
be considered a Dun man. '
When Oklahoma was opened up to set
tlement In 1889, Bill and Mollio were
posted in the Cherokee strip ready to make
the run for a home, says a New .York
Times correspondent. Bill had always
been a reader of dime novels, so whon he
reached Arkansas City and found that It
was fashionable to wear a big six shooter
he purchased a 44 caliber Colt and a belt.
One day a drunken thug Insulted Mollle
and drew a pistol on Bill, who Interfered.
Now was his cbonce to establish his repu
tation as a "killer," and Snow shot Kiok
apoo Sam through the bead. For weoka
after this neither Bill nor Mollle could
sleep well at night for thinking about that
lonely grave on the prairie, but the men
on tho border came to speak of Bill Snow
with respect as a "dead game" man whom
It would be well to let alone.
In May, when the final rush fur homes
came, Bill, Mollle and the pistol wore In
the front rank. ' Down upon the banks of
the Canadian river Bill drove his stakes,
and when a couple of Toxans eaine along
and concluded to squat . upon. Bill s laud
he warned them off with his six shooter
In his pistol hand. They were preparing
to resist when a friend of theirs came
along and said: "Better let that fellow go
easy. lie's the game chap that killed
BILL SNOW, DANDY KlLLEB.
Klcknpoo Sam," and the Texnns went on
a mile or two farther and drove away an
Inoffensive German who was not a "gamo
man" and did not carry a big pistol. Bill
and Mollle's claim was first class bottom
land, well timbered and worth a good
deal of money. - ......
Bill proved up all right and built a nice
little house on his claim. Just about this
time deputy marshals were in demand,
and Bill was pointed out as a "game
man who would be likely to make a good
one. So Bill Snow moved to town and
began to wear high heeled boots, drink
liquor with the boys, dance with the girls
at tbe dancehouses and incidentally to
serve some warrants for tbe United States
marshal. Over in the Pottawatomie
country he killed an Indian for whom he
had a warrant, and later on be bad
shooting match with a half breed Mexican
over a pretty girl. ,
This latter affair came to the ears of
Mollie, his wife, and she concluded to fol
low Bill some night. By this time Bill
had become so popular that be had spent
the $1,000 nest egg, sold his claim on the
Canadian and was about through with
the proceeds of that. He bad advanced
from the stage where they call a man
"game" and had become noted as a "kill
er." As he remembered the dime novel
days In Illinois he wished some of his old
chums could hear of his exploits, so he
had a local writer give him a "sendoff."
This newspaper notoriety stirred up
other "bad men" with -records, and Bill
had to defend his title with his pistol,
with the result that he killed a man
named Dennis over in the Chickasaw
country. When be returned to Oklahoma,
bo was more of a hero than ever. But his
money was almost gone, and he bad an
extravagant girl on bis hands, the former
mistress of the Mexican whom he had
killed. Added to this, he went Into poli
tics and tried to be elected shoriff. His
record as a "killer" was not in his favor,
and be was defeated by the better class of
people. ' ....... i
About this time bis wife, Mollie, follow
ed him to a questionable bouse In company
with a man, a friend of Bill's. They
came upon the "killer" unexpectedly in
tlio hall, and Bill, mistaking the reason
for his wife's presence In the house, shot
the man With her. He was arrested and
thrown into jail. By this time many peo
ple who were afriad of him conspired to
see that he got justice and was hanged.
His wife, Mollie, was almost the only
friond he bad left. With all the money
at her disposal she managed to arrange
matters so that Bill escaped before the
time set for his trial. All he hod left was
bis six shooter, bis reputation as a "kill
er" and a horse which he stole from the
sheriff. Every one's band Was now against
him, and be rode south into tbe wild
country arund the Wichita mountains and
then joined tbe Rogers gang.
He bad now gone through all tbe stages
from a "tenderfoot boomer" to a "game
man, " and thence to a recognized "kill
er, " and now he had landed In the "des
perado" ranks. He held up stages and
robbed express cars. He got all the noto
riety his nature craved. Still bis Illinois
wife clung to him, and a year ago she even
visited him at his retreat In the hills. But
the officers followed her and became so
hot on her husband's trail that she had to
leave. A few weeks ago an Indian scout
caught Snow napping and shot him full
of holes. Mollie learned of his fate and
committed suicide her hero, the "game"
man, the "killer," and, lastly, the "des
perado" was dead.
Enormous Loss of Power.
At the electric light convention In St.
Louis Mr. L. B. Btillwell remarked thai
the Central station manager, who is buy
ing energy in the form of coal and sell
ing it in the form of light and wasting il
at every step in the process, is losing far
more before the energy passes through
the dynamo than afterward. " He esti
mates that out of each 1,000 horsepower
bought in the form of coal it is at pres
ent possible to sell not more than about
2.8 horsepower, in the form or iigw
Some 930 horsepower is lost before reach
ing the dynamo and the rest afterward
It seems clear therefore that the problem
of cheap electricity is in its final analysis
problem of thermodynamics. kufjl-
THE AUTHOR OF "BEN BOUT.'L .
How Thomas tlnnn Eniilish Wrote the
Famous Sons That TaUby Sang.
"That unfortunate early indiscretion of
mine" Is the way Thomas' Ihmn English
refers to his famous song, "Bon llolt,"
that wos sung by Trilby in tho popular
novel of that namound that has boon sung
tho. world ovur fur bulf century. Tho
verses woro written at tho request of N.
P. Willis in 1848 and wero what Mr. Eng
lish terms ''patchwork" of two poems.
Willis was then aonductlng The New
Mirror In Now York nnd asked English
to write a sea song for tho periodical.
English started a sou song, Init ooutil not
finish It acceptably to himself, so he be
gan work on anothor poem, which he
partly completed idso. In despair he com
bined the two, signed his initials to tho
patchwork and sunt the poem to Willis,
with Instructions to burn the production
if he did not desire to publish it.
Willis was delighted with the vorens
and published thorn In The Now Mirror
Sept. 35, 1843, tinder the titlo" Ben Bolt."
The English papers stole the poem and
reprinted It, and it took England by
Storm.
Oh, don't you remember swoot Alice, Beu Bolt,

lisb then wrote music to go with the
Words, but his version never achieved the
popularity of that adapted from a German
song by a scrolling singer and actor named
Wilson Kneass.
The song made an immense hit in this
country and England, and an American
publisher who changed the Hue " Where
ohiliUen. went in to swim" to "Where we
gathered the flowers as they grow" be
cause he thought the former immornl
sold over 60,000 copies.

June 29, 1819, and resides in Newark, N.
J. Ho has won considerable fame ns poet,
novelist, dramatist, physioian, lawyer and
politician and at present is one of New
Jersey's representatives in congress.
'When I was elected to congress throe
years ago," sa;-s lJr. English, "the news
papers mentioned the fact that I was the
author of 'Ben Bolt,' nnd the song was
revived in popularity. It then sank into
obscurity again, but now a gentleman
named Du Waurler, whom I never harmed
in my life, revives it In 'Trilby.' "
CORRECT EVENING DRESS.
The Various Articles That Make tip the
Costume of a Well Pressed Man.
To begin with, evening dress should never
be worn before 6 o'clock; in these days when
people dine so late it is seldom worn as
early. Ordinarily at borne a man may
wear a black sack coat with silk collar,
waistcoat and trousers to match. With
this coat, which is called a "dinner" coat,
should always be worn a black cravat not
made up, but tied by t he wearer in a simple
bowknot. This style of costume is suitable
only for most informal dinners at home, or
in summer at the houses of one's Intimate
friends.
With what is usually called a dress coat
(swallow tail) should be worn always, ex-
cent when in mourning, a white lawn cra
vat tied in a bowknot; This may be
itorchcd or not, as tbe wearer prefers, but
U somewhat trimmer looking if starched.
With this coafco block waistcoat may be
worn. It should be siiudo-breasted, with
black buttons. In cast-TI white waistcoat
is preferred (it is usually considered more
dressy) it should be made of pique or some
similar fabric that can be washed. It
should be single breasted, with buttons
covered with tbe material or else plain
pearl buttons.
Apropos of buttons, it is well always to
avoid anything conspicuous, no matter
bow costly. Flam pearl uuttons may be
worn in the front of tho shirt or plaiu gold
studs, or even silver. Oriental pearls are
often worn. These, if not too large, are to
be preferred. Even though a man is in
mourning he should wear evening dress.
He may wear the dinner coat, etc., as de
scribed above, or the swallowtail, with a
black silk (not satin) cravat.
White waistcoats should not be worn
with black cravats nor with dinner coats,
neither should a man in mourning wear
satin facings and satin cravat. Plain black
silk is best. A very prominent part of
evening dress is tbe footgear. Plain black
silk hose with patent leather pumps are
best. Some men prefer low snoes. in mis
case they should be madewithout toe caps.
A great many young men wear elaborate
embroidered hose, but this class is also apt
to wear jeweled studs, rings, etc.
It is the man in the perfectly laundered,
well fitting plain linen shirt, white starched
cravat, plain.. studs. , wall, brushed and
pressed clothes, plain block suit stockings
and pumps who makesthebest appearance.
And the man lu the embroidered or tucneu
shirt front fastened vHth Jeweled Btuds,
watered silk facings, white silk waistcoat,
gold buttons, gorgeously embroidered hose.

, For Modern Cooking.
As a matter of useful information it
may be stated that whenever a cooking
receipt calls for a baking powder the
Koval should do used, ine receipt
will be found to work better and surer,
and the bread, biscuit, rolls, cakes,
dumplings, crusts, puddings, crullers or
whatever maue win pe produced sweeter,
lighter, finer flavored, more dainty, pal
atable and ' wholesome. Besides the
' Roval " will go further or has greater
leavening power, and is therefore more
economical than any other powder.
Man v receipts as published still can
for cream of tartar and soda, the old
fashioned way of raising. Modern cook
ing and expert cooks do not sanction this
old way. In all such receipts the Royal
Baking fowder snould be suDstituted
without fail.
The greatest adepts in the culinary
art are particular to dse the Boyal only,
and tbe authors of the most popular
cook books and the teachers of the suc
cessful cooking schools, with whom the
best results are imperative, are caretul
to press their readers and pupils with
the importance of its exclusive employ
ment. .
The Koval Baking Powder is the great
est help of modern times to perfect cook
ing, and every receipt requiring a quick
raising ingredient should embody it.

and extreme emaciation and weakness. -;
Do you doubt that hundreds of such cases
reported to u as cured by " Golden Med
ical Discovery " were genuine cases of that
dread and fatal disease ? You need not lake
our word for it. They have, in nearly every
instance, been so pronounced by tue brst
and most experienced home pliyniciana,
who have no interest whatever in mis
representing them, and who were often
strongly prejudiced end advised against
a trial of "Golden Medical Discovery,"
but who have been forced to confess that
it urpassea, iu curative power over litis
fatal malady, all other medicines with
which they are acquainted. Nasty cod
liver oil and its filthy " emulsions" and
mixture, hud been tried In nearly all these
cases and had either utterly fulled to bene
fit, or had only seemed to benefit little for
a short time. Extract of malt, whiskey,
and various preparations of the liypophos
phlte had also been faithfully tiil In vein..
