A WOMAN'S HEART;
ONE DISEASE THAT BAFFLES
THE PHYSICIAN.
Th Story of Woman Who Suffered
for Nina Long Yuri-How She IV aa
Cared.
ValvnlarTdlsease of the heart has al
ways been considered incarahle. The
following interview therefore will interest
the medical prolession since it describes
the successful use of a new treatment for
this disease. The patient is Mrs. George
Archer of Clifton, N. J., and this publi
cation by the News is the first mention
made of the case bv any newspaper. All
physicians consulted pronounced the
patient suffering with 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 terrible
noise at my right ear like the labored
breathing of some great animal. 1 have
often turned expecting to see some crea
ture at my side.
"Last July," continued Mrs. Archer,
a t -a o i u i .1 t .
i was at ojiniiKiiciu, vioimuk,
aud my mother showed me an account
in the SprinqfitUl Examiner, telling of
the wonderful cures effected by the use
of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale Peo
ple. My mother urged me to try the
pills and on November 25th last I bought
a box and began taking them, and I have
taken them ever since, except for a short
interval. The first box did not seem to
benefit me, but I persevered encouraged
by the requests of my relatives. After
beginning on the second box, to my won
der, the noise at my right ear ceased en
tirely. I kept right on and the distress
that I used to feel in my chest and arm
gradually disappeared. The blood has
returned to my face, lips and ears, which
were entirely devoid of color, and I feel
well and strong again.
" My son, too. had been troubled with
gastritis and I induced him to try the
Pink Pills with great benefit. I feel that
everybody ought to know of my wonder
ful cure and I bless Qod that 1 have
found something that has given me this
great relief."
Dr. Williams' Pink Pills are now given
to the public as an unfailing blood
builder and nerve restorer, curing all
forms of weakness arising from a watery
condition of the blood or shattered
nerves, two fruitful causes of most every
ill that flesh is heir to. These pills are
also a specific for the troubles peculiar
to females, such as suppressions, all
forms of weakness, chronic constipation,
bearing down pains, etc., and in the case
of men will give speedy relief and effect
a permanent cure in all cases arising
from mental worry, overwork or excesses
of whatever nature. The Dills are sold
by all dealers or will be sent postpaid
on receipt of price, (60 cents a box or 6
boxes tor fZ.&O they are never sold in

Soul Cmiiiuuiilon Day.
The last of the 17 tilt)- But apart by
the World's fair iininiieiiit'iit for "the
parliament of religions" is monthly
whole world soul communion day and
the sixth minivorxury of its institution,
Sept. 27.
The first whole world observance was
on the 27th of September, 18B0, when
"there was silence in heaven for the
space of ono-liulf hour." when a greater
or less number of the worshipers of all
the great religious faitlis of the world
United for SO minutes (time at all points
corresponding with the half hour inter
vening at Sulcm, Or., between 12 mcrid
iun and 12:30 pant meridian) in invoking
universal jieuce and new and higher in-
llowings of spiritual light.
Of course the World's fair manage
ment did not know in setting apart the
17 days between and including Monday
the 11th und Sept. 27 that "the parlia
ment of religions" would terminate its
session on the anniversary of this the
most universal religious movement ever
instituted among men, but such is the
fact, and being so it is eminently proper
that the brief universal prayer season of
half an hour should on that day be ac
corded to soul comimmionists and all
who will unite with them in invoking
with unific soul impulses "peace on earth
and good will among men." Soul com
munionists will ask no more of the fair
management, as they are silent workers.
The time of observance in Chicago will
be from 2:20 to 2:50 p. m., when there
and then will bo gathered worshipers
from all the shrines of earth, and some
of all of whom will have been divinized
by continuous previous observances id
the most interior spirit of the movement.
This is "the universal prayer gauge,"
which a distinguished English scientist
some years ugo called for, and its proofs
of the efficacy of unity of thought and
aspiration for the common good have
been wonderful and will be more won

CARELESS ABOUT THE TEETH.
The Great Majority Are Negligent In This
Important Matter.
Much has been and will be writ ton
on the care of the teeth because so mnny
persons do not appreciate these valuable
orgaus of mastication. If tooth are wall
cared for and regularly inspected by the
dentist, decay will hardly have an op
portunity to do great harm before it is
stopped. Decay often has its beginning
in bits of food sticking between the
teeth and forming tho starting point of
diseased tooth.
The toothpick should be used regular
ly after each meal and after eating. It
need not necessarily be employed during
a meal or be carried like a cigar in the
mouth after eating, but in tho privacy
of one b room the quill toothpick should
search out each comer and angle be
tween the teeth, and all foreign matter
should bo removed; thou the toothbrush
should be used, and, as the spuevs be
tween the teeth are vertical in a stand
ing person, bo the toothbrush should
be used up aud do wn ruther than across,
so thut fresh water may be scrubbed be
tween each tooth.
The tooth brashes that shod bristlos
are not desirable articles of the toilet,
for not only are the loose bristles a
great annoyanco, but they may oven
work in between the teeth aud in the
gums and cause painful points. Such
loose bristles usually come from cheap
bruBhcs or those used for too long a
time.
These injunctions nbont the care of
the teeth have to be repeated again and
again, because it is such a matter of
everyday observance that persons care
ful in other matters arc cureless about
their tooth. As the teeth are not only
very visible, and when in a bad state
very prominent, but are aids to diges
tion, and if imperfect may lead to dys
pepsia and kindred troubles, they should
be scrupulously carud for. Popular

Only Rich Oflltiera Need Apply.
It is soinnwhat hard to find Buitublo of
ficers of the army and navy to occupy
the places of military and naval attaches
to the United States legations in foreign
countries. To satisfactorily fulfill the
duties of these posts plenty of money is
an essential requisite. A man attached
in such a capacity to the embassy at
Paris or at London needs a private for
tune to keep up with the social require
ments of the situation. He must move
in the most richly gilded swim and must
meet all sorts of unusual expenses. It is
expected of him thut he shall live like a
gentleman of rank and wealth, because
the attaches at the legations of other na
tions are rich aud noblo.
A clear understanding of these facts
would lessen the number of applications
for these places which are sent in by
young officers to the departments of war
and navy at Washington. They desire
the appointments for the sake of the
agreeableness of the duties and tho so
cial prestige belonging to them, not real

The rromlsa to Obey.
The promise to obey ought no longer
to be either asked or given. Men as well
as women are learning to regard it as a
relio of barbarism. One young man of
uiy acquaintance acted as "best man" to
a friend who was married by tho Ejus
copal service. He wus scandalized by
the brido's promise to obey and wrote
to his own sweetheart a letter of in
dignation and dismay. Ho said he
hotied it was not customary with other
denominations to use a similar form,
for he should dislike exceedingly to have
nor promise to obey him. She uuswered
thut he need give himself no uneasi
ness; she had not the smallest intention
of promising anything of the sort. They
have been married 10 years and are
very happy couple.
Methodist ministers are now forbidden
to exact the promise to obey, und it is
fust going out of use in all denomina
tions that are not tied to a fixed ritual.

among tiio thotniimls of excursionists
who annually visit the prison as perhui
the first one on record who positively re
fused a pardon and regarded the prison

Robinson was scut to the prison at

Throuch Tralus on Trunk Lines.
The 26 west bound trains which run
daily on the 8 railroads connecting Now
York with Chicago average only 8
through passengers each. The joint
committee of the Trunk Line and Cen
tral traffic associations infers from this
small number of through passengers that
there nro too many through trains run
ning on all the roads. They use this as un
argument thut tho New York Central
should not put on its 20-hour limited be
tween New York and Chicago nnd report
that through trains ought to raise their
fares as their time is quickened, adding
the following extra rates to the regular
fares:
Twenty-six hours S3
Twenty-four tinil one-liulf hours I
Twenty-two and one-half hours. S
Twenty and one-half hours 10
This would make the cost of a trip on
the Central's 20-hour limited, with $5 for
the sleeping car, US each woy, or $70 for
the round trip.
The attempt to gauge the profits of
running through truins by the number
of through passengers is in the highest

JOHN BOYD THACHER A WITNESS
Bo rally VerlOe. a IXuputed World's
fair Award.
John Boyd Thacher is laconic and de
cisive in bis statements. During the
lively campaign Just closed in New York
this marked him especially as Chairman
of the Democratic State Committee. It
was equally true of him as Chairman of
the Executive Committee on Awards at
the World's Fair. This is the positive
and sententious way in which he verifies
in an official letter the honors won by
Dr. Price's Baking Powder: "I here
with inclose von an official cipy of your
award, which in due time will be in
scribed in the diploma and forwarded."
Thus the question respecting the award,
raised by an envious New York rival, is
settled beyond cavil. This same rival, by
the way, is widely advertising an award
for itself. The official records provethis
claim wholly false, as they tbow the New
York pretender was not so much aa an
exhibitor at the World's Fair.

bat and walked out of tho" temple.
Immediately a young lady, well dressed
and attractive of feature, left her scat,
and with a sliding, pantbcrllko step moved
out into tho opening. Her face was
wreathed In smiles. As she moved about
she didn't speak. Her eyes were almost
closed. With her right hand she beckoned
encouragingly, while with hur left sho
seamed to bo warding off something visi
ble to her, but unseen by those looking on.
"When she moves her right hand," said
Mrs. Van Busklrk, "It means that she Is
reaching out fur some good spirit. Tho
motions with the left hand ore to ward

When she hud made two or three cir
cuits of tho open spaco, all the tlmo smil

thut curious gliding movement, the young
ludy began to mutter, but In such a low
tone that what sho said could not be ills

arousing from a nap, sho opened her eyes

''Squaw didn't mean to let liravecomo, "
said tlio spirit, "but bravo was too much

Then followed tlio strangest part of

her to her seat. Later In tho seaneo Myra
Pal no came forward and in right mind
said that she owed an explanation. It
was true that she resisted tho coming of

wrong. In the past year sho had felt at

The most insignificant atom in all cre

Crowds In London.
English reporters con never agree upon
the number of people in a crowd. Es
timates of the numerical strength of the
eight hours' meeting in Hyde park
ranged from 80,000 to 500,000, while the
actual number was probably about 100,
000. The figures given in connection
with Wednesday's loyal demonstration
differed almost as absurdly, the lowest
estimate being 150,000 and the highest
750,000. Police calculation, which le
generally fuirly reliable, puts the num
ber at 300,000, reckoning people all along
the route. At some favorite spots the
crush was tremendous, but there were
surprisingly few casualties. The Metro
politan corps of the St. John Ambulance
brigade wus on duty. The stuff consisted
of 3 surgeons, 13 ambulance officers, 11
nursing sisters and 81 rank and file,
while the transport consisted of 4 pairs
horse ambulance wagons, a wheeled lit
ter and 80 stretchers. A hundred and
fifty cases were treated, mostly faints.

by doing her own dressmaking. She
likes to dress well, and it does seem so
extravagant to pay so much for what
sho might do herself. It requires a brave
woman to attack her headgear, but with

Vegetable Salads.
Vegetable saluds are among the most
acceptable dishes that can be prepared
for a summer repast. They tempt the
appetite aud impart a flavor to the rest
of the meal. While the art of making
acd serving them is very simple, care
should be taken in their preparation.
The dressing for a variety of vegetable
salads is the same, yet different flavors
may be delicately added, always being
careful that one does not predominate
over another. It is very important to
have only the best ingredients, as wilted
vegetables and inferior seasoning will
not make good talads. The quantity of
oil to be used is rather difficult to decide,
but two tablespoonfuls to one of vinegar
is the usual proportion for plain dress
ings, while more is required for mayon
naise. Lettuce salad should be dressed only
with oil, vinegar, pepper and salt.
Salads are rendered much more at
tractive when prettily garnished with
fresh green leaves, vegetuble blossoms,
rings of hard boiled eggs, sliced lemons
and fancy designs cut out of radishes,
beets or turnips.
The dressing shonld never be added to
the prepared vegetable until ready to
serve, when the salad should be stirred
as little as possible in order to retain its
freshness.
The vegetables best suited for salads
are lettuce, asparagus, dandelion, celery,
cauliflower, water cress, beets, string
beans, cabbage, potatoes, cucumbers
and tomatoes. Harper's Bazar.

The firm of K. L. &. Steele it Co. of San
Francisco secured by su cession the prop
erty in a trade mark known as " Diamond
L," which bad been patented In 1871 by 0
Adolph Low Si Co. Under that brand and
trade mark K. L. ft. Steele A, Co. bad sold a
tea which had become known far and wide
for its excellence and in which they bad
built up a heavy trade. In 1888 the sales of
the tea had fallen olf so heavily that the
firm set an inquiry afoot and discovered
that I.ievre, Frick A. Co. of San Franoisoo
were selling a spurious tea under that brand.
H. L. O. Steele A Co. compelled them to
confess and to promise not to repeat the of
fense. They appear not to have kept their
agreement, however, as- this week E. I.. 0.
Hteele & Co. brought an action against the
same firm, alleging infringement and de
manding $50,000 damages. All honest deal

The Oldest Inhabitant Gone,
Amos Andrew Parker of Fitzwilliom
N. H., died Friday.
IIo had Bevernl titles to fame, tliechief-
est being that he was probably the oldest
person m ew Liijjland. He had reach
ed the truly remarkable age of 101 years
months and 4 days, and up to the very
last all his bodily and mental faculties
were in an excellent state of preserva
tion. Ho was graduated from the Uni
versity of Vermont in 181U in a class of
10 members, the next oldest of whom
died iu 1872.
Mr. Parker was on editor aud lawyer.

He Chose Ihe Cold Car.
The city authorities at Leinars, la.,
have begun the enforcement of a novel
penalty for drunkenness. The city coun
cil passed an ordinance which required
that any person arrested twice for drunk
enness have his choice between reforma
tion and hard labor. He must make up
bis mind to take either a course of treat
ment at a bichloride of gold institute or
work on the streets of the city for 10
days with a ball and chain. The ordi

her a very hearty greeting. For their
meeting she wrote some verses express
ing her keen appreciation of the delights
of the country in which she was sojourn
ing. They also reveal much of the deep
religious and poetio fervor of her mind.
There is in them, as it now seems, almost
a hint of a premonition of the end. She
wrote that "the old were seldom weary,"
and that "the fainting spirit rallies as it
takes its flight above," almost as if con

Two Women Detectives.
The largest New York "provider" em

shop thief in New York who is quite
sure of the identity of either of them.
They hove a busy time of it, and they

Do vou doubt that hundreds of audi cases

dread and fatal diHcaxe i You need not take
our word for it. They have, in nearly every
instance, been so pronounced by the best

who have no interest whatever in mis
representing them, and who were often
strongly prejudiced nnd advised against
a trial or "Golden Medical Discovery,"
but who have been forced to confess that
it surpasses, in curative power over this
fatal malady, all other medicines with
which they are acquainted. Nasty cod
liver oil snd its filthy "emulsions " and
mixtures, had been tried in nearly all these
cases and had either utterly failed to bene
