Dalton Ua.. Sept 3L —Hoke Smith ex-secretary of the interior, spoki r here to-day to a large political rally held under the auspices of the etat< Democratic executive committee. Ii opening he referred to a former vial to Dalton two yaara ago, at which hi apoke In bahalf of "aound currency,' 1 and urged that the Democratic nation al platform should not approve thi free coinage of silver. He stated thai he wonld not be candid did he fail t< r »ay to-day that his views on the (loan cial question remained unchanged, and he regretted that he could 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 atill 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'masses of the people ol 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 far as those were concerned who hud taken a part in the fight for ‘‘sound money” delegat.es to the Chi cago convention, lie felt llrfct they were practically pledged, as tie was actually pledged, to vote for the nom inee.

He urged the justica of a tariff for revenue only, and con trusted it with the high protective turiff for which McKinley so pre-emi nently stood. He approved of the in come tax and insisted that It was not class legislation. PROF. DYCHE ALL RIGHT. In Northvrn Alaska In Search of Kara, Hig Horned White Sheep, Lawrkncc, Kan., Sept 21.—K. F.

Mr. William C. Hart, favorably known among his friends and acquaint ances as "The Old Halt Doctor,” Is probably the most familiar character In the vicinity of Twenty-fourth and Franklin streets, Omaha. Nebraska Mr. Hart Is now over 80. An Interesting history of his recov ery from a common malady follows; A little over live years ago I became afflicted with a malady, the name of which I do not know. My family have been troubled the same when they ar rived at my age, and they said I was on the same road and that there was no cure for me. The symptoms were, 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 alt down, my head would swim and everything would dance before my eyes, and I would become so dizzy that I would have to hold to a chair to keep from falling; or If I were sitting down and got up suddenly, everything would whirl before tne, and I would have to hold to the chair for some little time; my memory was so poor that It was dif ficult for m«- to remember some of my heat friends. This state of things con tinued for about a ysar 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 eie so that life was really miserable. "On the recommendation of some friends, I went to my druggist, Mr. Hhrader, on Twenty-fourth and ('lark streets, and got a box of Pink Pills for trial, and after taking a few doses I began to feel the affects and found that they were doing rne good. When the first box was gone I got another and another until I had taken four boxes and I was entirely relieved. And now, although my memory Is not so good as It was forty years ago. It Is greatly Improved, and Is better than ( many men’s memory that are much younger than I; my dizziness Is entire ly gone, and my nerves are strong as they were ten years ago, and Dr. Wil liams’ Pink Pills did It too.” Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills for Pale People are now given to the public as an unfailing blood builder and nerve restorer, curing nil forms of weakness arising from a watery condition of the blood or shattered nerve*. The pills are sold by all dealer*, or will be sent postpaid on receipt of price, fib cents a box, or six boxes for 1^.50 (they are never sold in bulk or by the loo), by addressing Dr. Williams' Medicine Co., Schenectady, N.

Though butterflies are often blown out to sea, and have been thought by inexperienced observers to belong to a different species to the ordinary land butterfly, there are none which can be said to live on the sea. It is reported from Paris, where pneumatic tires have been Introduced on some of the cabs, that in conse quence of the lessened shock to the vehicles the cost of repair has been reduced fifty per cent, to say nothing of the saving to the nerves of passen gers aud the muscles of horses. 8ir John Lubbock says that the house fiy, which produces the sound P, vi brates 20,100 times a minute, or 335 a second, and the be?, which makes the sound of A, as many as 26,000, or over 430 a second. On the contrary, a tired bee humB on E, and vibrates its wings only 300 times a second. The tongue of the cat family is cov ered with recurving spines. in the common domestic cat these are small, but sufi.ciently well developed to give the tongue a feeling of roughness. In the lion and tiger the spines are strong enough to enable the animal to tear the skin of a man's hand by licking it. It has been practicable to propogatc sugar cane only by cuttings or their equivalents, and the lack of seedlings has been a difficulty in the way of im provement. From the 200 or 300 varie ties experimentally grown in East Java Mr. J. H. Walker has been able to select a few plants that by crossing have given very good seeds. These have given vigorous seedlings. whi<h yield more sugar than the parent plants and promise varieties more profitable than any hitherto known. summer girl. • First, remember that a good voice Is a* essential fo Melf-possession as good ideas are essential to fluent languag<X I he voice should be carefully trained and developed a full, clear, flexible voice is one of (he sureet indication* of good breeding Second, rent* tuber that one may lie witty wtthut belli* popular, voluble without being agreeable. a great talker and yet a great bore.
