"The best lecture ever given in Al bany," many people said after hearing ex-Governor J. Frank Hanly, of In diana, at the Baptist church Saturday night. It was a masterpiece of elo quence and higJi thinking. The subject was tne ramocism or reace. He showed how this Government had not been established and built up 1 y war, but by peaceful methods. t nere nave been three links in the formation ot the chain resulting in na tional solidarity: Chief Justice John Marshall, who construed the constitution aright. Daniel Webster, who gave it a place in the hearts of the people. Abraham Lincoln, the sweetest, gen tlest, tenderest character since Christ, with the reasoning of a Bacon, forming a gicabtauuiei,ui wiituii ne wua master, making one whole free people. These men were not accidents; but God's providence in the establishment of a great and united goverment. Tbe country has three great foes, greea, avarice ana tne lust of gain. These are the cause of the saloon, the rule of the trust, corruption and graft. A spendid sign for optomism is the progress of the prohibition of the liquor i traffic, which should be continued until the entire countrv sees the destruction of the saloon. Our greatest liberty is that given in the restraint of wrong by proper laws, and only just liberty is that regulated by law. "Ye must be born again" expresses the basis of the hope of our progress for greater things. TTn .... ..1 .3 J ,l.

PRONOUNCED HIS IE Whole Body Raw with Eczema Life was Intolerable Was Even : Incased in Plaster Discharged from Hospitals as Hopeless! SUFFERED 14YEARS CURED BY CUTICURA "From th age of three months until fifteen years old, my son Owen s life was maue intoler able by eczema in its worst form. He was all right until a red rash broke out on his fore head, but we were not alarmed at first. Very aoon, however, the rash began to spread over his head and shoulders, and it caused him great riioomfnrt,. I fnrlr him to a doctor and tried half a dozen other treatments, all with the same result: no improvement at all. The disease gradually spread until nearly every part of his body was quite raw. We had to strap him down in bed, for he used to tear himself dreadfully in his sleep. The agony he went through Is quite beyond words. No one thought we would rear him. The regimental doctor, a very clever man, pronounced the case hopeless; at least, lie said the only hope was that he might, if he lived long enough, outgrow it to some extent. We had him In hospitals four times and he was pronounced one of the worst cases, if not the worst, ever admitted. From each he was dis charged as incurable; in faot he got worse under the successive treatments. At one hospital they incased him in plaster, and this seemed to aggravate the soreness terribly. He looked so badly that no one liked to go near him and his life was a burden to him. We kopt trying remedy after remedy, but we had got almost post hoping for a cure. Bix months ago we purchased a set of Gutlcura Soap, Ointment, and Resolvent Pills and persevered with them. , The result was truly marvelous and to-day he is perfectly cured, his skin not having a blemish on it anywhere.
