"My friends, I do not propose to

will stroll out of tho tepeo to greet
their brother and ask him whero ho

A clergyman gives somo pertinent
instances of tho unexpected to bo

ot llfo I ought not. to bo stunned Ly
anything, but ono day, after service,
a good woman of my flock did man
age to tako my breath away. I was

"I hoped tho sermon would bo a

EYE3 ON MOSCOW.
Regarded As the Storm Center of Dis
turbances. MOSCOW' Thero is complete tran
quility within tho boundaries of this
city, but the peoplo aro keeping in
doors owing to tho official warning.
Tho strlko Is spreading gradually, but
thus far Is confined to tho smaller
mills. Tho larger industrial concerns
aro being guarded in order to prevent
tho mon employed there from being In
timidnted; but it Is the belief that tho
strlko wll become general. Thero aro
no troops in sight in tho ctly proper.
Probably thero will bo no papers to
morrow. Tho citizens ore alarmed at
tho prospect of an eruption of condi
tions of thousands of workmen and de
mand tho proclamation of a stato of
siege. Tho Moscow garrison Is no moro
thnn 20,000, but tho authorities con
sider that this Is sufficient for present
needs and evidently are Inclined to
avoid bloodshed If possible. They dc
claro they havo tho situation well in
hand.
Captain Grove, tho British consul,
has called upon M. Roudneff, the as
sistant pollco master, who Is acting In
tho absence of Chief Volkoff, and re
quested an explanation of tho posted
telegram from London, alleging that
tho disturbances at the Russian dock
yards and arsenals were due to Anglo
Japanese InBtlgntlon, that both Great
Britain and Japan aro spending vast
sums of money to prevent tho Russlnn
second squadron from reaching tho
far east, and adding that "all Russians
who strlko aro thereforo in conni
vance with tho enemy."
M. Roudneff produced tho orlglnnl
telegram In evidence of good faith.
Captain Grovo stated that ho would
report tho matter to tho embassy at
St. Petersburg, as ho considered that
tho posting of tho alleged telegrams
Imperllod tho lives ot subjects ot
Grent Britain who aro employed In
factories here.
M, Roudneff assured him that thero
was absolutely no cause for apprehen
sion, but assumed tho responsibility
for tho publication.
M. Roudneff also offered Captain
Grovo personal satisfaction in a resort
to arms.
General Trepoff's appointment to
tho governor generalship of St. Peters
burg was a surprise hero. It Is rumor
ed that Minister SvIatopolk-MIrsky
may bo appointed governor general ot
Moscow."
A squadron of Cossacks this even
ing dispersed about 3,000 workmen
who were growing obstreperous across
tho Moskva. No 'fatalities are reported.
This-was tho only event of tho kind
during tho day.
IMPORTED WHEAT FOR SEED
Secretary Shaw Recommends Refund
of Duty.
WASHINGTON Secretary Shaw
has sent tho following letter to both
houses of congress recommending tho
refund of tho duties ptfld on Imported
wheat when used for soed:
"This department Is In receipt of a
largo number of letters indicating that
a scarcity ot suitable wheat for seed
ing purposes exists in several of tho
northwestern states. By act approved
January 15, 1903, the secretary of tho
treasury was directed to refund tho
duty paid on coal for the period of
ono year. ThlB had the effect of tem
porarily removing tho duty on coal. I
recommend a similar law authorizing
tho secretary ot tho treasury to re
fund the duty paid on wheat actually
used for seed, under rules and regula
tions prescribed by him. I think it
would be Impracticable to allow wheat
Intended for seed to bo entered free
of duty. Such a provision would open
the door to fraud, but a refund of duty
on wheat actuully used for seed un-
i der appropriate regulations seoms to
mo to bo feasible and ns affording a
satisfactory remedy. In view of the de
sirability of getting seed wheat at a
distance from the placo whero It Is
to bo own I sco no reason why this
provision should bo limited ns to
time."

MR. HAYDETS VIEWS
GIVES HIS 6PINI0H OF THE BEBT
TREATMENT FOB PAEALYSI8.
Declare! That Dr. 'VHl!am, Tlnk IIII
llettored the Vie ofllli Limbs When
All Other Remedies Failed.
Tho premonitory symptoms of paraly
sis are: trembling of tho hands; sudden
loss of power iu arms or legs, frequently
nffcctingonewholosidoof tho body; stag
gering; partial or entiro inability to use?
tho fingers; distortion of tho features,
sometimes nn uncontrollable quivering
of tho chin; sovero pains; difficulty in
speech. Frequently tho first warning ia
n vnguo feeling of headache, vertigo and
muscnlnr Weakness.
In a recent interview Mr. W. J. Tj.
Haytlen. said : " I truly think that Dr.
Williams' Pink Pills nro n great medi
cino for they cured mo when physicinus
and other remedies hnd failed togivo
mo tho slightest roliof. Too close at
tention to business brought on an attack
of nervousness which flually developed
into paralysis. Thero wero times when
it was impossiblo for mo to movo my
hands or to get up from n chair. Ab
other times I had partial control of my
lfrabs, but I was afraid to go far from,
tho honso for fear I might suddenly be
come helpless and havo to bo carried
homo.
"Whilolwas in this miserable con
dition, I was stricken with malarial fevor
and confined to bed for four months. I
had tho best physicians, but whilo they
relieved my fover, their treatment did
not outirely drivo tho malaria from my
system, and they did not help my par
alysis in tho least,
"I was well nigh despairing when a
friend persuaded mo to try Dr. Williams'
Pink Pills. When I had finished ono bor
I could sco results that encouraged mo.
My condition kept steadily improving,
nnd when I had taken seven boxes I was
cured of paralysis and tho malaria was
completely driven out of my system.
For two years now I havo enjoyed tho
best of henlth and have attended to bus
