U-J c T -7 i On Tlfe and Tbrse Husbands. Lizzie Anderson, or Erie. Pa., aeed 37. -was married three times, and yet was not legally separated from any of her husbands. Death brought them together, and they shook hands silent ly over Her coinn. She met and mar ried Jesse Samson when but a young girl, but eloped with Moses Arm strong. Soon afterward she left hfo and was wedded to Noah Anderson. The husbands were sworn enemies and never spoke. No legal proceeding! were taken and the matter never got into the courts. Then she got sick and was thought to be dying. She ral lied, but again had a relapse. She died last week. Then it was that the three men met at her coffin. Samson stretch ed out his hand slowly, and they all forgave. A Cartoon Saved Hit Life. Several weeks ago an abeess devel oped ia the stomach of William Thorpe, a resident cf Quantico, Md The growth so weakened him that physicians feared to use the knife and patient was slowly dying. A few days ago he saw a Philadelphia paper in which there was a cartoon making fun or Senator Quay, of Pennsylvania. inorpe laughed and immediately a stream cf blood gushed from his mouth. The doctor happened to call just then, and after examining Thorpe, declared that the abeess had broken tnd that the patient would now get well. A DOCTOR THIS TIME. Tortland. May Cth. Dr. E. A. Rose, a practising physician, formerly of Yates Center, Kans., was on what everyone supposed was his death bed. He had Diabetes, and six of his brother doctors were In attend ance and consultation at his bedside They had done everything that medi cal skill could suggest to save his life, but they were at last reluctantly forced to tell him that he must prepare for Ieath. His aunt had been summoned to hl3 dying bedside. After the doctors had given her jephew up. she insisted that as a last resort, he be given a treat ment of Dodd's Kidney Pills. From the very first dose, the tide turned In his favor. His life was saved, and he is hale and hearty to day. This case and its cure has amazed the physicians, and is the sensation of the hour. It is interesting to note that while many others are being cured this great discovery in medi cine, the physicians themselves are among the first to benefit, and that while the simpler and more prevalent forms, such as Rheumatism, Sciatica, liladder and Urinary Trouble and Fe male Weakness disappear before it, the more malignant forms, such as Bright's Disease. Diabetes and Dropsy, which have always been regarded as incurable, are yielding just as easily, j Dodd's Kidney Pills are fast super ceding all other treatment for Kidney Disease, and as nearly all human sick ness and suffering has its origin in the Kidneys, the use of this wonderful medicine is becoming almost universal. MILLIONS OF RUBBER BANDS, Immense Industry it Furnishing ZJttle Ela.lle for Commercial Trade. "The little elastic rubber band that is nowadays used in various businesses in place of twine seems a simple sort of thing, but there are few, if any, of ftie multitude of small articles made out of rubber for which there is such an enormous demand, especially in the United States," remarked a wholesale dealer ia rubber bands in New York the other day. "In this country the number of rubber bands sold in one year amounts to about ' 400.000 gross or 57,000,000 single bands. At least 60 per cent of the goods are made in New York and the rest are produced In fac tories located in New Jersey and New England. In New York there are a half dozen factories devoted partly or ex clusively to the manufacture of rub ber bands. The process by which the bands are made is simple. The rubber in a liquid state is molded into tubing of sizes suitable for forming the small and medium varieties of bands. When the tubing is ready for use it is put into a rapid-running machine having knives which cut or slice the rubber into bands. The larger bands are cut by machinery from flat sheets of rub ber and joined together with the aid of heat and a pressing machine. Rub ber bands are made in only two colors, black and brown. They range in size from one-quarter of an inch to six inches in length. The smallest bands are one-sixteenth of an inch wide and the largest are one and one-half inches wide. The smallest bands are worth 24 cents per gross, while the medium sized ones sell at from 4 S to 96 cents per gross. The greatest consumers of rubber bands are druggists and grocars, They use the smallest and medium sized bands in place of twine for put ting up small packages. The large fiat and expensive bands are used by court officers, lawyers, bankers and mer chants for filing documents and papers No rubber bands are Imported into this country, but a few American rubber bands are exported to the West Indies and South American countries." Work of One Woman. There will be only one building at the Pan-American exposition in Buf falo designed in Its entirety by a wo man, and that cne is the structure which will represent the states of New England. The woman whose bril liancy as an architect has gained for her this honor is Miss Josephine Wright Chapman of Boston. For Good Koads. "We want good reads," which has so long been the slogan of the L.?ague of American Wheelmen, is now to be taken up by the Automatic club of America. The movement is to be for mally launched at a banquet to be held at the Waldorf-Astoria hotel.

DOUGLAS FACTORY To De Enlarged Before the Tirst of Jaly Will Make 6.000 Tairs Daily. Advertising pays. W. L. Douglas is going to increase the capacity of his factory to 6,000 pairs of shoes per day. The addition will add 16,000 square feet of space for manufacturing purposes. At the same time a new 400 horse-power engine and an additional 150 horse-power boiler will be Installed, which will afford ade . quate power for the present and an other addition to the factory, which will no doubt be necessary later on. When the factory starts up the first of July it will be on an output of 500 dozen or 6.000 pairs of shoes per day, and the weekly pay roll, exclusive of office help, superintendent, foremen, etc.. will be 522,000 per week. The Douglas salesmen on the road are sell ing 5 per cent more good 3 than last season. The increased sales is the di rect result of good shoemaklng and ex tensive advertising. The advertising expenditure of Mr. Douglas is now larger than at any period of his busi ness, and this is to be still further in creased. Beginning this week half page advertisements of the Douglas shoe will appear in all the principal newspapers of the large cities, as well as such papers as the Youth's Compan ion.

A Very Successful Business That Is Car ried On by Women. The reduced gentlewoman who sells jellies and jams for her own benefit 13 familiar figure In the commercial world. The big and little grocers take her wares and the "invalid delicacy" establishments charge fancy prices for them. The gentlewoman who makes marmalade for charity is a different person, but her success has been so encouraging financially that women at their wits' end to know what to do for church fairs and village libraries and other worthy objects may take a leaf from the recipe book of this philan thropic business woman. Eight years' ago Miss Watson, a young woman In terested in church work in a country town, suggested to a few of her fellow workers that they make some marma lade for sale, giving the proceeds to the parochial charities of the village, says the New York Commercial Ad vertiser. The idea met with favor and the good church women started to work in a business-like, practical man ner. They knew how to make marma lade. They were business-like and prac tical and they had executive ability. That year 117 pounds of marmalade were sold, and after all expenses were paid there remained $6.75 profit. The following year both sale and profit nearly doubled. The accounts for 1900 show a sale upward of 18,000 pounds. The benefits of the manufacture were quickly extended to other charities, a large number of which now receive contributions from the funds thu3 raised, which are devoted entirely to charitable purposes. The work is car ried on upon strictly business lines. Several cottages have been rented as a "factory," and the village girls find work in this new industry. The mar malade is daintily put up. with orna mencai iaDeis, ana is, or course, as good as its raison d'etre, or it would never have sold so well and for so long a time.

For Health and Decency. .Disregard for the law against ex pectorating in public conveyances ha3 at last moved the New "iork health department to action. Tuesday morn nig seventy officers of the department in citizen's attire were detailed to travel all day in the cars of the various companies throughout the city and on all the ferry boats. They had orders to arrest any person found violating the ordinace. Before noon several men were compelled to accompany the offi cers to a magistrate's court, where they were fined and warned against a repetition of the offense. Vienna's I lab of the Divorced. Vienna has a new society which should rouse some American cities to noble emulation. No woman not di vorced Is eligible to membership, but there is nothing frivolous about the or ganization. It is to be called the Hu manity club, and its badge is a silver ing, engraved with that word, and worn on the wedding ring finger. The appropriateness of the name seems a trifle occult; but, presumably, a divorc ed woman has more troubles of her own, in Austria, than here and needs moral support. The idea of a band of divorced women meeting weekly "for mutual entertainment and support" will probably strike the average Am erican citizen as distinctly humorous; but it is a serious matter in Vienna, and the club proposes building for itself a permanent home. New York Sun. Sewed Up for the Winter. This is a true story, and it was told to the reporter by a prominent worker In one of the east side settlements. The other day a woman living In Rivington street brought her little boy to the set tlement house and expressed a desire to have him enter the kindergarten. The child had a bright face, but it was woefully dirty, and one of the set tlement rules is that all pupils must present at least a clean exterior. So the teacher looked at the little boy and said: "Why, certainly he can come to the kindergarten, but we want all the children to be clean. Give him a good bath tonight and send him to us In the morning." "Bath," gasped the mother. 'How can I bathe him? I've sewed him up for the winter." New York Mall and Express. . . Onns Heard Eighty-Four Miles. An interesting matter, from a scien tific point of view, in connection witn the death of the queen is the distance at which the sound of firing was heard when the fleet saluted as the body was conveyed from Cowes to Portsmouth. Letters in the English journals of science show that the sounds of the guns were heard in several places at a distance of sixty miles, and that at a distance of sixty miles the concus sions were sufficiently intense to shake windows. The Brainy ORllvles. Dr. Alexander Ogilvie, who, at the age of 70, has resigned the principal ship of Robert Gordon's college, Aber deen, Scotland, is the youngest of four brothers who have made high reputa tions as educators.

A novel method of boring holes in a flat bar of iron was recently adopted on a flat ship where a breakdown oc curred. To repair the breakage it was necessary to make bolt holes in the square bar, and as the engineer was without the appliances required for the purpose he marked the exact places in chalk and then fired a 30-caliber bullet through from a rifle.

EX-UNITED STATES MARSHAL MATTHEWS, OF MISSISSIPPI. Hon. S. S. Matthews, ex-United States Marshal of Mississippi, in a recent letter to The Peruna Medicine Company of Columbus, Ohio, written from Hazelhurst, Miss., says: am happy to say that I am cured of catarrh and need r.o more attention from you. It is a great satisfaction that I am able to write you that Peruna has in my case dons &JI that you claim, and that I will need no more medicine." jllllllllllUlllllllUIIIIIP 3 - f- & an The great multitude iake this reraw edy without any other advice than the directions to be found upon the bottle and in the pamphlets. There are those who prefer, however, to correspond with Dr. Hartman during their sick ness. To all such he will make prompt and careful answer without charge. Hon. J. F. Crooker of Buffalo, N. Y., who was for years Superintendent of Schools at Buffalo, in a letter dated Oc tober 16, writes: " have been a sufferer from ca- tarrn six or, seven years, and after trying m any remedies was induced by a friend to take Peruna. Thei results have been highly? satisfactory. I lane pleasure i n. j. . c in recommend- i Pubiio school, s ing Peruna tO 3rtiiTtttnitmMir.rtrmS any one suffering with catarrh, as my case is complete." Hon. B. B. Dovlner, Congressman from West Virginia, in a letter from Washington, D. C, to The Peruna Med icine Co., says the following of their catarrh remedy, Peruna: "I Join with my colleagues In tha House of Representatives in recom mending your excellent remedy, Pe runa, as a good tonic and also an ef fective cure for catarrh." Mrs. Mary C. Fentress writes from Paradise, Tex., the following: "I think I can 6ay that your good advico and medicine has cured me of chronic catarrh. I have had no pains in my head since I have taken Peruna. I have been in bad health ever since '19, and have taken a good many med icines which were only of temporary relief. Peruna is the catarrh cure. The Peruna stopped my catarrh of the head so that it did not become chronic, and I am very thankful for Dr. Hartman's advice and medicine." Peruna is a specific for all catarrhal diseases. It acts quickly and bene ficially upon the inflamed mucous membrane, thus removing the cause of catarrh. Catarrh is catarrh wherever located. Catarrh Is essentially the same every vhere. The remedy that will cure ca tarrh in one situation will cure it ia all situations. If you cio not derive prompt and sat isfactory results from the use of Pe runa, write at once to Dr. Hartman, giving a full statement of your case and he will be pleased to give you his valuable advice gratis.
