WHAT NEGLECT MAT DO.
There are some infirmities that only a
surgeon's knife will relieve, and mostly
ttriotly because of neglect. A neglected
nerve pain may become so chronic as to
cripple, and this is oiten the rate with
Sciatica. If taken in time, it it easily sub
dued, like other nerve pains, and vigor and
health are restored. Thousands of cases
have been treated by the use of St. Jaoobs
Oil, with the result of a prompt and per
manent cure and restoration to heakh of
the affected nerve. Ftople cannot be too
careful with their nerves. There is too
much to suffer to admit of foolish neglect,
and the simple thing of getting a bottle.ol
St. Jaoobs Oil and applying promptly may
save rears of misery and perhaps years oi
crippled condition. Let this warning serve
to show wbat can be and what ought to be
done without delay in an attack of this
disease.

THE BANANA EATERS.
Twe Keataehlaaa Eater lata a Queer Coa
tee. One of the most novel and interest
ing events in sporting circles which has
occurred in Lexington for some time
was the banana eating contest between
two prominent young men of the city,
Messrs. Qarrett Welsh and John Luby,
which took place in the fruit stand of
Mr. Fugaazi, ou Main -street, the other
night. The contest was the outgrowth
of some remarks made some time pre
vious on the capacity of the contestants.
Each bad friends present who were
backing them clear off the boards.
The summary is as follows : At the
drop of the flag Starter Dan Crow sent
them off to a good start, with Weleh a
half banana in the lead. He led Luby to
the quarter, where he was overtaken.
At the half Luby had 38 bananas to his
credit, with Welsh a close second with
88. Here Welsh went ont after the mon
ey, and at the three-quarters it was
Welsh by eight bananas, but Welsh was
showing signs of distress.
Turning into the stretch, Lnby'a Jock
ey, McQurk. went for another stalk of
bananas and succeeded in nosing out
Welsh in fast time. Time: Luby, 64
bananas; Welsh, 61 bananas. Both ran
a consistent race, and with a better
Jookey than McGInnie, Welsh should
have won. Both were sent to the stable
to rest up. They are entered for another
stake race next week, and the betting
on the event promises to be spirited.
Lexington Herald.
Here is the regime of a royal invalid,
as we must still call the empress of
Austria, for she is far from robust. No
meal is allowed to be partaken of later
than 7 o clock p. m. A couple of eggs,
milk in some light and wholesome form
and a aingle plate of plainly- cooked
meat form the simple meaL Eight
hours sleep every night is insisted upon.
We must not be misled by seeing in
the papers that the empress appeared at
state banquet, for she does so when
necessity requires it, but without par
taking of a single dish, her frugal re
past, ordered by her physician, having
been eaten in her private apartments.

Striking originality is granted to few
in this world, bnt of Martha Evarts
Holden, popularly, familiarly and affeO'
tionately called "Amber," it was the
chief distinction. It was the unexpected
and the daring that "Amber" always
did. "Amber" thought and "Amber"
wrote. She had the courage of ber con
viotions, and if the conviotions were
queer sometimes they were nttered just
the same, and the queerer the louder.
And if "Amber" saw fit to change ber
convictions at any time the change was
boldly chronicled in no uncertain tones.
Her last words to me were striking,
as all ber words had been. Trying with
the impotent, foolish bravado we iin-
fiertinently healthy ones assume in face
of the majesty of death, I uttered some
stupid sentences, as we do, intended to
be comforting. "No, I know I am going
to,die," the said, looking ine fairly in
the face and speaking strongly, "and I
am not afraid, but yon will admit that
it is a solemn time with me. " It made
one's feeble attempts to be cheerful seem
so frivolous and empty I I was setting
my flimsy standard for support and
making vain boasts of help on the
ground of a warrior who had already
made the fight and was wonnded to
death. Chicago Times-Herald.

good health. Read the following letter:

What K. T. MoOlnnie Bsja or the Big
Bosemaa Tunnel Fire.
B. T. McQinnis, a capitalist of Mont
real, is in San Francisco. He recently
came over the Northern Pacific road.
He says that the great fire in the Boze-
man tnnnel on that road is one of the
most extraordinary events ever coming
within his knowledge. The tunnel has
been ou fire for over three months, and
all efforts to quench it have proved un
availing.
He was told that the fire was first dis
covered early in the morning of Sept.
IS last. The immense amonnt of wood
work in the tunnel furnished abundant
material for a big fire. At the end of
three weeks the tunnel was a roaring
furnace. The fire started about the mid
dle of the tunnel, which is almost a
mile long. Within a few days the smoke,
traveling half a mile to either end of
the tnnnel, issued forth in dense volumes
day and night.
Mr. McGinnis says that the immense
quantities of water poured into the tun
nel did not seem to do any good. The
tnnnel was then sealed np in the hope
of smothering the fire. A few days ago
the tunnel was opened, and the fire
seemed to be burning as hot as ever.
Mr. McGinnis says it has been sealed
up again for an indefinite period,
Meanwhile the company has built a
switchback across the mountains, and
in that way has been able to rnn its
through freight and passenger trains.

"Wbat is the matter with the United
States senate?" What, indeed? If the
trnth must be told, it is a body in deca
dence. The moral and intellectual tone
of the senate are both falling far below
old time standards. Men who have been
ouly ten years in Washington, daily at
tendants npon the sessions of congress
aud familiar with the characteristics
and capabilities of most of the individ
ual senators, can easily make a com
parison which is odious to the seuate of
tbe present day.
Those who have been in Washington
IS or 30 years, as have a number of
writers for the press, look back npon
the seuate and the senators of that day
almost with tears in their eves. Then
the senate was, indeed, "the most dig
nified legislative body on earth." Such
its members are still wont to term it,
but the words are sarcastic Then every
member of the seuate was a man of na
tional reputation.
Ndw there are ouly a few senntors
whose fame really extends much be
yond the borders of their own states,
and in many cases their reputation is
as politicians or speculators or money
makers or for something besides states

in the senate chamber. There are sena
tors of ability and high character, but
the dry rot appears to be in them, and
tbe pall of partyism, of narrowness or
of slothfuluess seems to be hanging over
one and all. Rarely, indeed, does tbe
debate rise to a respectable level. If tbe
crauks are not exploiting their single

YOUNG AT FIFTY.
HOW A METHODIST MINISTER
CARRIES HIS YEARS.
Rev. William Young, of Oiwego, Telia
a Reporter Hit Secret of Good Health
Will Surely BeneBt Kveryoue Who
Follow Bit Advice.
From the Timet, Oiwego, N. V.
Probably no man is better known or
more highly respected in Oswego, N.
Y., than Rev. William Young, of the
Methodist church. Mr. Young has not
a conference appointment, but holds
responsible position with the Oswego
City Savings bank, where he has been
a trusty employe for the past twenty
years.
In the spring of 1894 Mr. Young
looked as if his time was limited and
that he would be laid at rest with the
great majority before the snow covered
the ground. But, instead of failing as
predicted, be soon gained a more
healthy look and appeared stronger,
As the months went by this improve
ment continued, until now he is as rug
ged and apparently as healthy as a
yonng man of thirty, although his
gray locks denote a more advanced age.
A Times reporter determined to find
out what had made this great, and it
might be said phenomenal change,
oalled upon Mr. Young at the bank
and put the question direct and received
the following reply:
"In truth I am a changed man, and
I owe my present good health to Dr,
Williams' Pink Pills. In the spring
of 1894 I was all run down and had
commenced to think tbat my time
had come. I had to be prescribed for
by physieians, and although I received
temporary relief, the same old trouble
came back again and I was worse than
before. I had no strength or appetite,
and physically I was in a miserable
oondition. After my work I would go
home, but the general lassitude whioh
hung over me left me without any am
bition, and when I wonld go to the
table to eat, my appetite failed me and
I would have to leave without taking
hardly any nourishment My kidneys
were also badly affected, and I was in
utter despair. One day, here at the
bank, I happened to pick up one of the
local papers, and my eye fell on an
advertisement of Dr. Williams Pink
Pills. The advertisement gave a de
scription of a man who, affiioted as I
then was, had been cured by using Dr.
Williams' Pink Pills. I was not a be
liever in that kind of doctoring, but
conoluded as a last resort to try a box
of the pills, making up my mind that
if they did not help me I certainly
would not be injured any. Going
to a drugstore, 1 purchased a box of Dr.
Williams' Pink Pills and commenced
taking them according to directions.
Very soon after I began to feel better
and I saw I bad made no mistake in
trying the pills, and before the first
box was emptied I felt so much im
proved that I immediately purchased
another. I had taken seven boxes of
the pills, and at the end of last sum
mer I felt I was entirely cured and
discontinued their use, bnt always keep
a box handy if occasion requires. I
am now entirely cured. The lassitude
has left me, my kidneys are all right
and my appetite well, you shonld see
me at the table. I am a new man
again, and instead of feeling like a
man of fifty, which is my age, I feel
like a youngster of twenty, and I give
Dr. Williams' Pink Pills the full
credit for this great change. I have
recommended these pills to several of
my neighbors and aoquaintanoes who
have ben relieved of their complaints. "
William Young, being duly sworn,
deposes and says he is the gentleman
referred to in the above interview, and
it is true in every respeot

Eminent Methodist
Trouble by Paine's
Rev. Zephaniuh Meek, 1). D , is a
household name all over the South.
Since 1867 he has owned and edited the
"Central Methodist," the leading pa
per of the Methodist Episcopal ohurch
in the South. He represented his state
at the General Conference.
He was one of the Kentucky com
missioners at the Chioago Columbian
Exposition. Daring his ministry iu
the South he has built and dedicated
five ohapels. He writes from Cations
burg, Ky., where his home it, as fol
lows: "I have'used several bottles of Paine's
celery compound for nervous trouble,
resulting from overwork, and with im
mediate effect, as well as permanent
benefit. It is the best nerve tonic that
I have ever tried. It has also been
used in my family with great benefit."
Tired out, half-sick men and
women need something more than a
mere rest They need a positive un
mistakable nerve food; they must have
a reserve of nerve force to draw from,
before their heads will cease to ache
and their nerves oease to tremble with
nenralgia.
It is estimated that there are over
ten million nerve fibres in the body.
So long aa these minute tissues are
kept fully nourished, one lives in bliss
ful ignorance of any such thing as neu
ralgia, headaches, or even a nervous
system, bnt let one become "run
down" and the nutrition of the body
get low, and every one of these myriad
fibres becomes a "live-wire" within
the flesh, Headaches, nenralgia, rheu
matism, and other forms of nervous
ness and debility result directly from
a famished nervous system. Paine's
celery compound is able to correct
this faulty oondition. It builds up the
nervous system and sustains, it. The
brain at once feels tbe strengthening

are thousands of men and women
today who have been enabled to keep
vigorously at work, who must have
given up but for Paiue s celery com
pound. Nervous affections are a warn
ing to busy people.
At the earliest sign of reduced nerve
foroe, inability to sleep, laugour, or
a gloomy habit of mind, everyone
should look immediately to the nutri
tion of their nervous system and to the
purity of their blood. Paine s celery
compound will attend to both of these
urgent needs more thoroughly and
more speedily than anything else in the
world. Paine's celery compound is
not to be confounded with the common
preparations, the sarsaparilla aud the
nervines. Heiug the dimiovery of a
man of science, Prof. - Edward E.
Phelps, M. D , LL. D. , of Dartmouth
College, it has the support of the best
physicians; they prescribe it univers
ally; and the many sick persons made
well by its use proves that that support
is merited.
To the great majority of business
men a vacation, to say nothing of three
months of complete inactivity, is out
of the question at this season, even
when their braius demand a complete
rest and their nerves ache and threaten
them with prostration. Now, there
are hundreds of business men aud hard
worked professional men in this city in
just this oondition. What are they to
no? Those who are tired out, "rnn

season will do well to read some of the
straightforward aud convincing state
ments from the men and women who
