Stingy KxpoMtlon Visitor*. It is a remarkable fact that any one ward in Philadelphia—you might al most say any division of one ward— contributes more to charity in one week than the Paris exposition did during its entire run,” said a young man of the Quaker city who has Just returned from the French capital. “When the exposition was opened boxes were placed all through the grounds, embellished with signs in va rious languages, setting forth the fact that the contents would be devoted to charity. Millions of people visited the exposition and must have seen these boxes, for they were conspicuously displayed. They were not examnied until after the close of the exposition; and how much do you suppose they all contained? Less than $12! That’s a fine record for charity, isn’t it?” It is always safe to learn even from our enemies.—Colton. Good deeds and kind words are nev er lost.

CAREER AND CHARACTER OF ABRAHAM LINCOLN. An address by Joseph Choate, Am bassador to Great Britain,on the career ands character of Abraham Lincoln— his early life—his early struggles with the world—his character as developed in the later years of his life and his administration, whichplaced his name so high on the world’s roll of honor and fame, has been published by the Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul Rail way and may be had by sending six (6) cents in postage to F. A. Miller, General Passenger Agent, Chicago, 111. General Yates has set the seal of his disapproval upon prize fighting, and has decreed that this' pastime shall not be indulged in within the boundaries of the state of Illinois while he presides at the head of the executive department.

Henry Arthur Jones, the dramat ist, says that when he first taught himself how to write plays it was his custom to witness the same piece six nights a week in order to learn the technique, he keeps a stock of char acters, plots, scenes, incidents and themes all lying ready for use and simmering in a dramatic stockpot.

The Marquise de Fontenoy now states, on what she calls official au thority, that the life of the late King Humbert was insured for 36,000,000 lire, or about $7,000,000, and of this amount $6,000,000 was represented in policies in companies in this coun try. Nevertheless, it is believed the marquise has been grotesquely 1m posd upon in this matter. 8nys Haring Did Him Good. A venerable graduate of Harvard says that one of the most useful les sons in deportment at Cambridge was given him in his freshman year by a baud of sophomores on a midnight visit to his quarters. This alumnus says he was then and there taught how to be civil and polite to his su periors, and that the performance everlastingly took the conceit out of him. Monkey Skins by the Millions. During the past year there was an increase of nearly $30,000 in the value of monkey skins exported from the Gold Coast, from which it is estimated that at least 1,000,000 monkeys were killed in that district alone.

GORDON, Neb., Feb. 9.—The littlo town of Merriman, twenty-flve miles east of Gordon, was shaken up by the | shooting of Jim White, who has been holding forth in this vicinity for some time. Jim White and Louis Provo, a half-breed Indian, entered Jack Barnes, saloon and immediately attempted to run the bartender, Linn Kern, out and take possession. White and Provo began the trouble by throwing cuspldores at Kern, chas ing him behind the bar, brandishing their revolvers and uttering vile threats. Kern did not propose to have them take possession in that way and came out shooting. The first shot passed through White's lungs. It is reported that White killed three men in Montana, for which he had to leave there, and he has been regarded as a dangerous person. He terrorized the citizens of Gordon two years ago by defying the authorities and standing the city marshal off with his gun. The latest reports claim that White is still alive, but failing fast, his chances for recovery being very frag ile. ARBOR DAY PROCLAMATION. Governor Seta Apart Monday, April 12, to Be Obaerved. LINCOLN, Neb., Feb. 9.—Governor Dietrich has issued the following proc lamation, designating Monday, April 22, as Arbor day: “The observance of Arbor day has in the past contributed in no small degree to the growth and Improve ment of Nebraska’s forestry and foli age. It has transformed vast ex panses of prairie into picturesque woodland, increasing the landscape beauty of the state and making it more desirable for those seeking op portunities for investment and af fording comfort and pleasure to those already (here. This practice, which has added so much beauty and value to the state in the past, should not only be maintained in the future, but should be enlarged upon to the great est practical extent. On each recur ring Arbor day every citizen of Ne braska should add at least one tree to our forestry and foliage, which shall serve the double purpose of be ing both commemorative and benefi cial—commemorative of the mental genius of our distinguished citizen, Hon. J. Sterling Morton, author of Arbor day, and beneficial in the way of increased comfort and value. “By authority vested in me by law I therefore do hereby proclaim and designate Monday, April 22, 1901, as Arbor day, and I earnestly request of the citizens of this state and all school children to observe this occa sion by the planting of trees and beautifying shrubbery. “In testimony whereof I have here unto subscribed my name and caused to be affixed the great seal of the state of Nebraska. Done at Lincoln, the capital of the state of Nebraska, this 4th day of February, in the year of our Lord 1901. “CHARES H. DIETRICH,” Basis for Bepresentation. LINCOLN, Neb., Feb. 9.—Under the reapportionment of legislative dis tricts each 32,000 people of Nebraska will be entitled to one senator and three representatives. The number of members ■will remain unchanged, but the representation will be divid ed upon an actual population basis, which will probably decrease the rep resentation of the eastern half of the state and increase that of the western half. Representative Evans of Lin coln county is preparing to make a strong fight in the bouse in behalf of his section, and in the upper branch Senators Currie and Van Boskirk will champion the interests of the great northwest. Favor New Wluf for tl>e Asylum. HASTINGS, Neb., Feb. 9.—The leg islative committees appointed to visit all the state institutions for the pur pose of inspection visited the asylum for the chronic insane at Hastings and were carefully escorted through the institution by Superintendent Kern and Steward Haverlv. The in vestigating committees made a thor ough examination of everything and expressed great surprise at finding the institution in such excellent con dition. They found that all wards were filled to the limit and on learn ing the annual increase of inmates in the Hastings asylum they all ex pressed themselves to the effect that it was an absolute necessity that a new wing be added to this institution at the earliest possible date. Change at the Insane Asylum. HASTINGS, Neb., Feb. 9.—The Asy lum for the Chronic Insane was offi cially turned over to the newly ap pointed officials. Dr. Kern of Wood River succeeded Dr. Steele of Hast ings as superintendent, and Harry Haverly of this city succeeds Mr. Barnes of Red Cloud as steward. George James of Hastings was ap pointed bookkeeper, to take the place of Dan Althen of Omaha. Canadian smelters have entered in to an agreement combining their in terests. Maddened Horae Kills Him. HOI.DREGE, Neb., Feb. 9—The death of A. R. Potter, living some ten miles from This city, occurred from the effects of being crushed by a | horse. The horse was crazy with the cornstalk disease, and crushed Mr. Potter against the side of the stall, inflicting injuries about the liver. Kvirt'l Outdone. Ex-Senator Williams M. Evarts is no longer the champion framer of long sentences. He frequently made a record of 500 words, but has been far outdone by Rastus S. Ransom, a New York lawyer, who in a will case a few days ago put a hypothetical ques tion 4,000 words in length. Boiled down all this meant: "Assuming the testimony to be true, was she sane or insane when she made her will?” It took just thirty minutes to ask the question. The Quay Floral Arch Cost SI40. The arch of white immortelles, wk-i a keystone of red carnations, bearing the legend, “Verdict of the People," presented to Senator Quay on the morning of his return to the senate after two years of enforced exile, cost |140 in good, hard money. It was bought and designed by employes in the various executive departments who maintain a voting residence in Pennsylvania and secured their posi tions through Mr. Quay's influence. These all contributed pro rata and bought the largest and most expensive floral tribute ever appearing in the United States senate. The greatest things rise from the simplest truths.

She is a very popular and influential lady. For three; years she has been ill. Now she is well. She says: “1 cannot praise Dodd’s Kidney Pills too highly for what they have done for me. 1 was troubled for three years with weakness, and often had dizzy spells, so that I dared not go out alone. My head would ache continually for four or five days at a time, until life became simply a burden. “All the medicine I took did me no good, until my physician advised me to try Dodd’s Kidney Pills. 1 secured a box, and soon found that my head ache was leaving me. I felt encourag ed and kept on taking them and get ting stronger. The pain3 gradually diminished, until 1 had used four boxes, and all trace of pain had gone. I am today a strong and well woman, thanks to Dodd's Kidney Pills. If the price was one dollar per pill, Instead of 60c a box, they would be cheap, compared with other so-called medi cines placed before a suffering public."

Words never can tell the suffering I endured for three yean. I tried at least eight doctors, but my hands were worse than when I commenced doctoring. I tried every old Granny remedy that was ever thought of without one cent’s worth of good and could not even get relief. I would feel so badly mornings when I got up, to think that I had to go to work and stand pain for eight <* nine hours, that I often felt like giving up my job, which was in the bottling works of Mr. E. L. Kerns, the leading Dottier of Trentoo, N.T., who will vouch for the truth of my sufferings. ' fief ore I could start to work, I would have to wrap each finger on both hands, and then wear gloves, which I hated to do, for when I came t+take them off, it would take two noun and the flesh would break and bleed. Some of my friends who had seen my hands would say, “If they had such hands they would have them amputated”i others would say “they would never work,” and more would turn away in disgust. But thanks to Cuticura, the greatest of skin cures, ft ended all my sufferings. > Just to think, after doctoring three years, and spending dollar after dollar during that time, Cuticura cured me. It has now been two years since I sued it andl do not know what sore hands are. I never lost a day’s work while I was using it or since, and I have been working at the same business, and in acids, etc. THOS. A. CLANCY, 310 Montgomery St., Trenton, N.
