New York, Sept. 21.—R. G. Dan A
Co.’s Weekly Eeriew of Trade says:
There U etill no distinct, improvement
in business, although conditions fsvor
it. Confidence slowly rises, specula
tire buying of materisls for future
use continues, imports of gold do not
cease end the Bank of England has
not tried to check them by further ad
vances in rates, as the weight of the
demand now falls upon France. But
ah enormous business Is held back
until the future is more clear. Maine’s
great majority had no such influence,
as was anticipated from a verdict less
emphatic.
To many minds nothing an Eastern
State can do in a contest represented
as seotional gives sufficient assurance
how the Western and Southern States
may decide. .
In cotton, hides, wool and pig iron,
baying, opening speculative in char
acter, marks the current' business.
Resumption of work by a good part
of the Fall River cotton mills and ad
vances in some kinds of cotton goods
helped to raise the prices of middling
uplands to 8Ko again, though realiz
ing sent it down to 7>tfc.
Failures for the past week have
been 317 in the United Stales against

Bat *ev. Bmim Bsrorttirt—
Dalton Ga., 8ept JL—Hoke Smith,
ex-secretary of the interior, spoke
here to-day to a large political rally,
held under the auspices of the state
Democratic executive committee. In
opening he referred to a former visit
to Dalton two years ago, at which he
spoke in behalf of "sound currency,”
and urged that the Democratie nation
al platform should not appiove the
fr«eTcoinsge of silver* He. stated that
he would not be candid did- he fail to
say to-day that bis views on the finan
cial question remained unchanged,
and he regretted that he oould not in
dorse that part Of the platform adopted
at the Chicago convention. He urged
however, that those who. like himself,
did not approve of this plank, would
still remain loyal to the regular nomi
nees of the party.
Mr. Smith claimed that long after
, the financial question was settled, the
Democratic party would be found ad
vocating principles dear to the in
terests of the massea-of the people of
the country, and it would be unwise
to quit the party on account of oppo
sition to a single plank in the plat
form. So fares those were concerned

Mr. Smith then briefly discussed
that portion of the Chicago platform
’ which dealt with, the subject of rais
ing revenue. He urged the justice of
a tariff for revenue only, and con
trasted it’with the high protective
tariff for which McKinley so pre-emir
nently stood. He approved of the in

An Interesting history of his reeev-1
a comm°n malady follows a
over five years ago I beeame
7rIth a malady, the name of
which I do not know. My family haW'
been troubled the same when they ar- ■
Mved at my age, and they said 1 was
on the same road and that there Was
no cure for me. The symptoms were, i
dizziness, loss of memory, and an utter
prostration of the nerves. The most no
table trouble was a swimming of the
head, when I came In from a walk or
was out standing in the sun or doing ■'
any kind of exercise at all. When I
would sit down, my head would swim .
and everything would, dance before my '
W. and I would become so dlssy that
I would have to hold to f, chair to keep
from falling; or if 1 were sitting down
and got up suddenly, everything would!,
whirl before me, and I would have tof
hold to the chair for some little timed:
my memory was so poor that It was dlf-P
fteuit for me to remember some of rnyff'
best friends. This state of things con-!'
tlnued for about a year and a half, and!
kept getting worse and worse; I could!
not remember anything, and my head)
was . in a constant whirl; everything;
swam before me so that life was really)
miserable.

friends, I went to my druggist,, Mr.|
Shrader, on Twenty-fourth and Clarkj
streets, and got a box of Pink Pills, fori
trial, and after taking a few doses ]l
began to feel the effects and found!
that they were doing me good. When]
the first box was gone I got another)
and another until I had taken foutH
boxes and I was entirely rellevedJ
And now, although my memory Is notj
so good as It was forty years ago, In,,
is greatly Improved, and Is better than!
many men’s memory that are muah
younger than I; my dizziness Is entire*
ly gone, and my nerves are strong a* '
they were ten years ago, ahd Dr. Wil
liams’ Pink Pills did It too.”

SUMMER GIRL.
First, remember that a good voles la. .
as essential to self-possession as gaod
ideas are essential to fluent language.
The voice should be carefully trained
and developed: a full, clear,- flexible
voice is one of the surest Indications of
good breeding.
Second, remember that one may be
witty withut being popular; voluble
without being agreeable; a great talkef
and yet a great bore. ■' i A.
Third, be sincere. One who habitual
ly sneers at everything will not ren
der herself disagreeable to others, but
will soon cease to find pleasure in Mb.
Fourth, be frank. A frank, open
countenance and a clear, cheery laugh
are worth far more even socially
"pedantry In a stiff cravat.”
Fifth, be amiable. You may bids a
vindictive nature under a polite ex- *
terior for. a time, as a cat masks fta -
sharp claws In velvet fur, but the least i
provocation brings out one as qulekly .
as the other, and ill-natured people are
always disliked.
