Nkw Youk, Oct 10, A special from
Ha7ana "says Weyler is fooling Lee.
The order prohibiting tho American
consul general from visiting tho mili
tary prison keeps him from person
ally investigating the condition of
Americans imprisoned there. Ho has
to rely on what Woylcr tells
him. In their last interview Gen
eral Leo complained of the unsanitary
conditions of the cells tho American
prisoners wero in. Weyler replied
boldly: 'Oh, I have attended to this
mttter. They liavo been removed to
cells 11 nnd 43.' General Leo retired,
flattered at his supposed success, not
knowing that tho "Americans havo
always occupied cells Nos. 41 and 42.
Those colls, by the way, aro gloomy
and so damp that water oozes from
the ceiling and trickles down tho
walls, wotting the floor, which never
dries. In ono of these wretched colls
aro Melton, the American newspaper
correspondent, and George Agulrro,
locked with a man suffering from
small-pox."

A Gettysburg Sumvorjjl
i win journai-jfress, bt, ciouo,
Minn.
Each day, each month, each yeruv
the Grand Army of tho Republic i
growing smaller. Almost each hour
Is some veteran soldier of the Rebel
lion responding to the call of the Great
Commander and Joining the army of
the silent majority. At such an alarm
ing rate is tho death ralo Increasing
among- the army membership that
statisticians tell us that it will be but
a few years before the Veterans wIR
be but a memory. It is for this rea
son that the entire publlo is interested:
to hear of tho recovery from sicknes
of a comrade.
James M. McKelvy Post G. A. R,
of St. Cloud, Minnesota, contains ono
such, Milton F. Sweet No man stands
higher in the community than does he
and through his strict integrity andi
honesty of conviction he has won the)
respect of all who know him. Mr.,
Sweet has for many years been a resi
dent of Minnesota, and for the past ten,
years has resided in this city, wherei
he is engaged in the manufacture of.
carpets. He is now fifty-one years of
age. He served in the war threo years
and seven months, with Company G,
New York, participating; in sixty bat
tles, Including Gettysburg.
During the war Mr. Sweet contracted
heart disease, which was accompanied
by excessive nervousness. As age In
creased his symptoms grew worse nnd
many were tho remedies resorted to
by him without the slightest relief.
We will let Mr. Sweet tell tho story
In his own words:
"Six months ago, at tho suggestion
of a comrade, who had been benefited
by Dr. WilllamB' Pink Pills. I began'
tneir use, ana 1 very cneerruny state
that they havo invigorated and built
ur my nervous system in a wonderful
way. They havo done me a world of
cood and I have been greatly benefit-,
ed by their use, where everything else
I took failed to give me the relief X
sought for. I havo recommended'
them to a large number of my old!
comrades and It Is a pleasuro for mo
to do so, for I feel that the manufact
urers are deserving of any good that;
I can do them in Baying a good word'
for their product, in return for tho
good they have done me. I will gladly
recommend these pills to any one writ-,
Ing me if they doubt tho genulncss of.
this statement."
When Interviewed, Mr. Sweet felt so,
grateful for tho good that he had re-'
eclved through Dr. Williams' Pink
Pills that he did not have the slightest
hesitancy in going on record. His
word Is considered Mb bond by all who
know him throughout this section. Mr.
Bweet is not the only one In Stearns
County who is using this celebrated
medicine and with equally good re
sults. Subscribed and sworn to before mo
chls 12th day of June, 1896.
JAMES R. JERRARD, Notary Public,

JOSH BILLINGS' PHILOSOPHY.
Com Ik wrlterB aro allwuss expected
to bo phunny when they talk, and, in
tho effort to bo so, aro often very silly.
Book-larnlng iz good, but too mutch
ov it konkokta krudltya, which havo
been known to sour on the intolektual
Btummuk.
What little I kno I hav larnt bi mix
ing with tho modlum and lower klaBs
ea; dlmonda and fine gold are oftenest
found cluss to tho bed-rock.
Mi natur prompts mo to make fust
advances. I hav often been snubbed
krewelly for this, but I kan't help it,
kan I? I shall flto it out on this line.
Yu kan't allwuss Judge hi appear
ances. I hav often known a whole
Bbirt to be compozed entirely ov a pa
per collar and a pair ov cotton wrist
bands. I hav allwuss notl&sed that thoze
circles which aro tho most exkluslvo
hav but little Individual strength; mu
tual admirashun lz tho pap that sus
tains them.
I hav generally notlesed that the old
bachelors who giv themselfs up en
tirely to tho service ov the ladys aro
nllwus ov the nuter gender. The wim
min never fall in luv with thezo phel
lows; they are too 6afo.
Tho saddest sight in all the world to
mo lz a broken-hearted manly man a
proud and robust oak riven bi lltenlng
from Heaven.
