Columbus, O., Nov.- 14. Thursday was Thurman day in Ohio and Demo cratic politicians from more than half the States of the Union journied to Columbus to pay their respects to that Nestorof Democracy, Allen (. Thurman, on the occasion of his 77th birthday. The eyes of tho country were on Colum bus and its central figure, tho Old Ro man, whoso rugjjed honesty has likened him to those patriots of old who placed the public welfare above considerations of self. To no retired statesman of recent times has come such a flood of universal good will and loving sentiment. The list of distinguished visitors and those who have procured Beats at the banquet tablo is not com posed exclusively of Democrats. There are many Republicans hero from Ohio nd elsewhere who come, no; as par tisans but as citizens, to show their ap preciation of tho public service ren dered by Judge Thurman. The most notable arrival was that of ox-President (Jrover Cleveland, who camo i bursday morning, lho ex-l'res- vas accompanied by his former A DOCTOR'S CONFESSION. ident uch improvements 'in tho service as r,',,J "af could be accomplished under existing jT'A. x$-v&'m legislation. fif J&A l''no number of oflicers now awaiting &?' retirement is about sixty. These men jS f re tr "ormtng no service whatever jut reccivM full pay, while junior ofli ;ers doing taeir duties for them are un !ustly deprived of both the pay and the ank which tho i.aw intends to attach to tho positions they are filling. The in congruity of tho present law is illus trated by the fact that where an officer is disabled in the linn of duty instead of opening tho way for the promotion of juniors it may and often does actual ly retard it. In order to obtain exact information concerning Alaska tho Secretary has approved the organization of a sys tematic survey of that Territory and he recommends an appropriation by Con gress for that purpose, i The expenditures under Secretary Proctor's direction for the year ended AI.I.EX O.

The most hor lble tragedy in the annals of Fulton i Jbunty was enacted Sunday morning at .tiea. ten miles southeast of Canton. Philip T. Smith, a farmer, aged 60, had or some time teen jealous of his wife, iged 50 years. Mrs. Smith had been ibse-nt from home attending a sick lagh ter-in-law. On her return Sunday Doming Smith at once bezan a Wuarrel, and, throwing her to the floor, verely choked her. Mrs. Smith got '.rway from him and ran into the yard. Iroith seized a Winchester riCe and olio wed her, firing four shots into ler body. When she fell Smith went ack into the house, exchanged the ifle for a revolver and returned to the ide of his wife's body. Ascertaining bat she was dead he laid down by her "ide, placed the muzzle of tho revolver b his mouth and blew out his brains, aith was known as a desperate char- )'-r for years, no less than four men ving been killed by him. I Work of Incendiaries. Iodix. I1L, Nov. 17. A $25,000 fire iited this place Sunday morning and Jtroyed the mammoth hay-barn of A. ' Woodward and Cox and the adjacent filings of W. B. Morrison, Miss Jane .kin and James Peart. It is sup "i to be the work of incendiaries. AN AWFUL DEED. private secretary, Daniel Lamont. Mr. Cleveland was accorded a splendid re ception upon his arrival. A largo crowd of people enthusiastically cheered him as he stepped from tho train. He was driven to the Governor's residence, where breakfast was sorved. The pub lie reception to ex-Prosident Cleveland, announced to take place in the Gov ernor's oOlco from 11 a. m. to 1 p. m was taken advantage of by thousands of people. At the conclusion of the reception at the capital the ex-l'resident drove to tho 'residence of Judge Thurman and congratulated him on the anniversary of bis 7tth birthday. At the banquet hall tho decorations, perfected under the artistic hands of qualified workmen, wero a marvel of imposing beauty. It was just 8:15 when ex-l'resident Cleveland and Judge Thurman entered the room. They were arm in arm, the President support ing uis venerable companion, who, fur ther assisted by a cane, walked slowly up the halL A' mighty cheer went up Irom a thousand throats as "the audience caught sight of the two distinguished guests or tho evening. Simultaneously every man arose from his seat and waved the traditional red bandanna handkerchief in honor of the Old Ro man. With di?nitv. vet smilintrlv. Mr. Thurman bowed to his 1,000 frantic ad mirers, and Grover Cleveland did like wise, as cheers for tho ex-President rent the air. At the conclusion of the banquet Mr. John J. Lentz, chairman of the Thur man Club, rapped the vast assemblage to order and delivered the address of welcome. He was followed by Joseph Ji. uuthwaite, the toastmaster of tho evening. simultaneously 1.000 people rose to their feet as the toastmaster concluded his remarks with the words: "To the health, long life and continued happi ness of our guest Applause. The ap plause which had greeted the toast was renewed as the "Old Roman" rose to respond. It swelled from applause to cheers, from a mild acclaim to a deafening roar, and 1,000 bandana handkerchiefs were waved frantically in the air. It was five minutes before the cheering which greeted the toast subsided suffi ciently to enable Judge Thurman to re spond. Tho inspiration of the occasion caused his massive frame to regain all its old-time vigor. Mr. Thurman spoke feelingly, ex pressing gratitude for the demonstra tion made in his honor. In conclusion, referring to the fact that his name had been mentioned as a candidate for the Vice-Presidency in 1S02, he said: ' Let me say to you. In a'.l sincerity and with out the least mental reservation, that I am not nor shall I ever again be a candidate for office.' 1 have been sufficiently honored by my party and neither ask nor desire any further honor than continued friendship and good wiU." Ex-President Cleveland was heartily cheered on responding to the toast "Cit izenship in America." Don M. Dickinson responded to "The Democracy of the Future;" William T. Wilson to "The House of Representa tives;" Judge R. A. Harrison to "The Early Ohio Bar;" Thomas Ewing to "The Democratic Party in Relation to Future Public Economy;" ex-Senator McDonald to "The Senate;" W. C P. Breckinridge to Democracy In Amer ica," and Congressman Springer to "The Press." At 2:10 a. m. the banquet closed amid the greatest of good cheer, the band playing the "Star Span;l4 Banner, lie Doesn't Tako Much Medicine and Ad s-iaes the Iteporter Not To. 'Humbug f Of course it is. The so-called science, of medicine is a humbug and has been from tho time of Hippocrates to the present. Why tho biggest crank in the In dian tribes is tho medicine man." "Very frank was tho admission, especially so when it came from one of tho biggest young physicians of tha city, one whose practice is among the thousands, though he has been graduated but a few years," says the Buffalo Courier. "Very cozy was his office too, with its cheerful grate fire, Its Queen Anne furniture, and its many lounges and easy-chairs, lie stirred tho lire lazily, lighted a fresh cigar, and went on." "Tako tho prescriptions laid down in the books and what do you find? Poisons mainly, and nauseating stuffs that would make a healthy man an invalid. Why In the world science should go to poisons for its remedies I cannot tell, nor can I find any one who can." "How does a doctor know the effect of his medicine?" ho asked. "He calls, prescribes, and goes away. The only way to judge would be to' stand over tho bed and watch tho patient. This cannot bo done. So, really, 1 don't know how he is to tell what good or hurt ho does. Sometime ago, you remember, tho Boston Globe sent out a re porter with a stated set of symptoms. He went to eleven prominent physicians and brought back eleven different prescriptions. This just shows how much science there is in medicine." There are local diseases of various char acters for which nature provides positive remedies. They may not bo included in tho regular physician's list, perhaps, because of their simplicity, but the evidence of their curative power is beyond dispute. -Kidney disease is cured by Warner's Safe Cure, a strictly herbal remedy. Thousands of per sons, every year, write as does II. J. Gardi ner, of Pontiac, R. I., August 7, 1S90: "A few years ao I suffered more than probably ever will be known outside of my self, with kidney and liver complaint. It is tho old story I visited doctor after doctor, but to no avail. I was at Newport, and I)r, Blackman recommended Warner's Safe Cure. 1 commenced the use of it, and found relief immediately. Altogether I took three bottles, and I truthfully state that it cured me." 0e nhotoGTarjher invited another photo grapher to lunch with him, but neglected to order any thiujr to drink, until his friend asked him if he worked the ,ldry plate-- altogether.
