SAN 13'RANCISCO , Marchi 4.-The
Steamship Australia , which arrived
to-day seven days from Honolulu ,
brought thirteen exiles from the Hawaiian -
i waiian islands , put on board by an
oflicial of the republic just before
3 tlr e sailing of the steamer. Only a
a few havee been accused of actual complicity -
plicity in the recent revolution. The
others are mostly British and German

ment by doing too much talking.
Among the exiles who became known
as supporters of the revolutionary
o party are Wundenberr , Creighton ,
F Peterson , Rathernil , Brown and Fitz-
' sirninons.
7'hc most important news brought
by the steamer was the decision of
President Dole and the cabinet come -
e muting to imprisonment for thirty-
live years and $10,000 fine each , the
death sentences imposed by court
I martial upon Wilcox , Seward , Itickard
m and Gulick , the four leading rebel
plotters This means that there will
be no deaths as a result of the recent
i / revolution.
Other sentences are : Thomas
s Walker , thirty years and a fine.of ,
/ E $5,000 : Carl Wideman , thirty years ;
. William Greig , twenty years ; Louis
Marshall , twenty years. The last
two were fined $10,000. James C.
' Lane was sentenced to five years and
.a fine of $5,000. Samuel Nowleln and
Henry I3ertleman , two of the leaders ,
were allowed their liberty , they bar-
lug given valuable evidence for the
government , without which convictions -
tions in many cases , could not have
been secured. Captain Davies , who
landed the arms , was sentenced to
, ten years and ordered to pay a fine of
p $10.000.
Although the ex-queen's sentence
has not been made public , th e Asso-
ciated press correspondent was informed -
formed by a cabinet officer that she
I lead been sentenced to serve five
years in prison and to pay a fine of
. ) ,000. It is understood that the sentence -
tence will not be changed by the
I president.
. { . . February 22 twenty-one rebels were
sentenced each to five years at hard
labor , but the fines were remitted by
President Dole. The punishment
fixed was the minimum under the
statutes.
, The natives have shown no fighting
qualities. Of the 700 called out by
Nowlcin , the military leader of the
revolt , only about 125 responded.
The rwolt was planned by white
I . men , Gulick , Seward and Rickard ,
i5 the money for the guns wa : furnished
by white men in San Francisco , the
; + t vessel which brought' b 'them was
It I owned by white men and two half
t commanders M
; whites were the chief

Notvlcin said before the vessel
sailed that hewas informed positively
by his white Royalist friends that it
he could bring a force of natives into
to'vn.the , citizens guard of 500 men
! would not dare come out and the
, "missionaries" would yield at once.
$ e believed these statements and
acted on them only to discover that
the citizens' guard instantly turned
out and some 300 more whites joined
' them.
British Commissioner Hawes notified -
fied the British subjects involved in
the revolt that he would not help
them. Mr. Willis , the American min-
is also disposed to aid the 'gov-
' , ernment The epidance in the tiea-
: , son cases Is so clear that he cannot
dispute the guilt of the American
citizens charged with the crime , but
to tlme
he raised some questions as
jurisdiction of the military court.

HONDURAS CALLED TO TIME.
A Warship Orderecl to F.nforco Justice
for an Amorican.
li'ABIIINGToN , March'4.-Thc United
States has determined that Honduras
must comply with demands for the
punisnment of the murderer of an
American citizen , Diplomatic means
having failed , the cruiser Montgomery -
ery has left Mobile , Ala. , for there
to see if the presence of an American -
can man-of-war will not have awhole-
some effect upon the Honduras au-
t'horities.
The instructions to the commander
of the ship are that he shall thoroughly -
oughly investigate the matter and
shall assist the American minister to
that republic , Pierce M. B. Young ,
in obtaining the prosecution of the
0 fenders.
The story of the murder of the
American in Honduras , as told by the
diplomatic correspondence on the subject -
ject is unusually interesting. Some
years ago Charles R. Renton , an
American , purchased an estate near
Brewer's Lagoon , Honduras , a short
distance from Trujilloand lived there
until Marcia , 1594 , * hen he was set
upon by a number of negroes and
Hondurans and killed. Mrs Renton
informed the Honduranauthorities of
the facts in the case and waited for
them to arrest and punish the of-
fenders. Patience finally ceased to be
a virtue. She thereupon wrote to Secretary -
retary Gresliam and substantiated her
statements with the affidavits of a
number of nearby residents and witnesses -
nesses of the murder. Through. llIin-
ister Young Secretary Gresham , made
representations to Honduras that the
murderer of Mr. Renton should be
punished. Ionduras has diplomatically -
ally evaded the demands of the United
States and the authorities have come
to the conclusion that it is about time
for the United States to hook into the
matter.
It is expected that the presence of
the Montgomery will have a salutary
effect and bring them to their sen-
ses. In any event it is the intention
of the authorities to secure the
punishment of the murderer unless
he shall have escaped from Hondu-
ras' jurisdiction. An indemnity for
the murder of the American has already -
ready been demanded and Minister
Young will press this claim when the
Montgomery reaches Trujillo.
MISSOURI SOLONS BITTER.
Speaker U nssoll and Rothwell Tura a
Joke Into Wrathfulness.
JEFFERSON CITY , Mo. , March 4.-Mr.
Rothwell of Randolph precipitated a
sensational debate in the house just
before noon today by introducing a
bill to appropriate $50,000 to erect a
silver bust of Chauncey I. Fillev in
Epli Houston's "eagle nest" and providing -
viding that Joseph T. Tatum , Fred
W. ilott and Abe Slupsky should constitute -
stitute a committee to place the bust
in place. The statue was to represent -
sent Filley in the act of extending
forgiveness to John H. Bothwell ,
Major Bittinger and Bud Hastain for
eliminating himn from the campaign
of S92
The bill was offered as a joke , but
Speaker Russell rose in wrath to defend -
fend Filley and declared , before the
bill had been read , that the member
from Randolph had violated the privileges -
ileges of the floor and insulted the
members of the. house.
As soon as Mr. Russell closed Mr.
Bothwell said that it was not the
first time the speaker has taken the
floor to pour out the vials of his vicious -
ious wrath , but it was the first time
he had slunk like a dishonest cur to
his kennel , refusing to let members
interrogate him.
The Filleyftes were red hot. and
follotiving the lead of Russell made
every effort to prevent any comment
on the bill. Eventually 300 copies of
bill were ordered printed.
ISMAIL PASHA DEAD.
Egypt's Deposed Khodlvo I'assei Away
in Constantinople.
CAIRO , March 4.-Ismail Pasha died
in Constontinople today.
Ismail was the son of Viceroy Ibra-
him Pasha by a Circassian woman ,
was born at Cairo December 31 , 1530 ,
and succeeded to Egyptian power in
January , 1SG3. He was an ambitious
ruler and it was his aim to make
Egypt a powerful kingdom and to
secure it in perpetuity for his own
descendants.
In June , 1S79 , he was requested to
resign by his suzerain , the sultan of
of Turkey , acting under the pressure
of England. llavinc once interfered ,
France and England were forced to
continue their policy of interference
and the end came in the Anglo-Egyp-
tian war. The khedive was deposed
and went into exile. During these
fifteen intervening years he lived in
London , Paris , Naples and Constanti-
nople.
He almost rebuilt Cairo during his
reign and did much for Alexandria
aside from the breakwater. During
the civil war in America lie acquired
considerable wealth by cultivating
cotton , but his money went with the
rest , and Egypt still feels the burden
of the indebtedness which he placed
upon her.

AND HEROISM OF THE
BIBLE'S TIME ,
Time Story of Benaiah and the Lions-
" 110 Vent Down and Slew a Lion in
a Pit on a Snowy Day"Chroniclev
IL :2 .
.
.x T EW YORK , FEB.
24 , 1595.-Dr. Tal-
mage took for his
r' - subject to-day , "A
Snowy . Day , " the
° test selected being
1. Chronicles fi : 22 :
"He went down and
: slew lion in
r , tl a a pit
_ a snowy day. "
; t Have you ever
heard of him ? His
name was Benaiah.
He was a man of stout muscle and of
great avoirdupois. His father 'vas a
, hero , and he inherited prowess. l = Ie was
athletic and there was lrori In his blood ,
and the strongest bone In his body was
back bone. He is known for other wonders -
ders besides that of the text. An Egyp-
Han five cubits in stature , or about
seven feet nine inches high , was moving -
ing around in braggadocio and flourishing -
ing a great spear , careless as to whom
he killed , and Benaiah of my text , with
nothing but a walking stick came upon
him , snatched the spear from the Egyp-
tlanand with one thrust of its sharp
edge , put an end to the blatant bully ,
which makes us think of the story in
our Greek lesson too hard for us if the
smarter boy on the same bench had not
helped us out with it , in which Hora-
tius the Macedonian , and Dioxippus the
Athenian , fought in the presence of Alexander -
exander ; the i acedonian armed with
shield and sword and javelin , and the
Athenian with nothing but a club. The
Macedonlan hurled the javelin , but.the
Athenian successfullydogded it , and the
Macedonian lifted the spear , but the
Athenian with the club broke it , and
the Macedonian drew the sword , but
the Athenian tripped him up before he
could strike with it , and then the Athenian -
nian with his club would have beaten
the life out of the Macedonian , fallen
among his useless weapons , if Alexander -
der had not commanded , "Stop ! Stop ! "
But Benaiah of the text is about to do
something that will eclipse even that.
There is trouble in all the neighbor-
hood. Lambs are carried off in the
night , and children venturing only
a little way from their father's house
are found mangled and dead. The fact
Isthe land was infested with lions , and
few people dared meet one of these grh -
zly beasts , much less corner or atack
zly beasts , much less corner or attack
it , one morning a footstep of a lion was
tracked In the snow. It had been out
on its devouring errand through the
darkness , but at last it is found by the
impression of four paws on the white
surface of the ground , which way the
wild beast came , and which way it had
gone. Perilous undertaking ; but Bena-
iah , the hero of the text , armed himself -
self with such weapons as those early
day afforded , gunpowder having been
invented in a far subsequent century
by the German monk , Betholdus
Schwartz. Therefore , without gull o :
any kind of firearms , Beraiati of the
text no doubt depended on the sharp
steel edge for his own defense and the
slaughter of the lion as he followed they
track through the snow. It may have
been a javelin , it may have been only
knife ; but what Benaiah lacks in weapon -
on he will make up in strength of arm
and skill of stroke. But where is the
lion ? We must not get off his track in
the snow. The land has many cisterns ,
or pits , for catching rain , the rainfall
being very scarce at certain seasons ,
and hence these cisterns , oi' reservoirs
are digged here , and there , and yonder.
Lions have an instinct which seems to
tell them when they are pursued , and
this dread monster of which I speak ,
retreats into one of these cisterns
which happened to be free of water , and
Is.there panting from the long run , and
licking its jaws after a repast of humarJ
flesh , and after quaffing the red vintage
of human blood.
Benaiah is all alert , , and comes cautiously -
tiously on toward the hiding place of
this terror of the fields. Coming to the
verge of the pit , he looks down at the
lion , and the lion looks up a t him.
What a moment it was when their eyes
clashed' But while a modern Du Chafl-
lu , Gordon Cumming or Sir Samuel Baker -
ker , or David Livingston would have
just brought time gun to the shoulder ,
and held the eye against the barrel ,
and blazed away into the depths , and
finished the beast , Benaiah , with only
the old time weapon , can do nothing
until he gets on a level with the beast ,
and so he .mumps . into the pit , and the
lion 'with % pining teeth of rage , and
claws lifted to tear to shreds the last
vestige of human life , springs for the
man , while Benaiah springs for the
beast. But the quick stroke of the steel
edge flashed again , and again , and
again , until the snow was no longer
white , and the right foot of triumphant
Benaiah is half covered with the tawny
mane of the slain horror of Palestine.
Now you see how emphatic , and tragic -
ic , and tremendous are the words of my
text : "He went down and slew a lion in
a pit in a snowy day. " Why put that
in the Bible ? Why put it twice in the
Bible , once in the book of Samuel , and
here in the book of Chronicles ? Oh the
practical lessons are so many for you
and for me. What a cheer in this subject -
ject for all those of you who are in conjunction -
junction of hostile circumstances. Three
things were against Benaiah of my text
in the moment of combat , the snow
that impeded his movements , the pit
that environed him in a small space ,
and the lion with open jaws and uplifted -
lifted paw. And yet I hear the shot of
Benaiali's victory. Oh , men and women
of three troubles. Xou say , "I could
stand one , and I think I could stand
two ; but three are at least one too
many. "
There is a man in business perplexity - t
ity , and who has sickness in his family ,
and old age is coming on. Three
troubles ; a lion , a pit and snowy day.
There is a good woman with failing
health , and a dissipated husband , and a
wayward boy-three troubles ! There is
a young man , salary cut down , bad
cough , frowning future-three troubles !
There is a maiden with difficult
school lessons she can not - get ,
a face that is not as attractive as some
of her schoolmates , a prospect that
through hard times she must quit
school before she graduates = -three
troubles ! There Is an author , his manu-
,
I
m
1
- -
p
script rejected , his power of origination
in decadence , a numbness In forefinger
and thumb , which threatens paralysis
-three troubles ! where Is a reporter of
fine taste sent to report a pugilism Instead -
stead of an oratorio , the copy he hands ,
In is rejected because the paper is full , a
mother to support on small income-
three troubles ! I could march right off
the seats , and across this platform , If
they would come at my call , five hundred -
dred people with three troubles. This
is the opportunity to play the hero or the
heroine , not on a small stage with a few
hundred people to clap their approval ,
but with all the galleries of heaven filled
with sympathetic and applauding spectators -
tators , for we are "surrounded by a
great cloud of witnesses. " My brother ,
my sister , my father , my mother , what
a chance you have ! While you are In
the struggle , if you only have the grace
of Christ to listen , a voice parts the
heavens , saying , "My grace is sufficient
for thee ; "Whom the Lord lovetli he
chasteneth ; "You shall be more than
conquerors. " And that reminds me of
a letter on my table written by some one
whom I suppose to be at this moment
present , saying : "My 'dear , dear Doctor -
tor : You will please pardon the writer
for asking that at some time when you
feel like it , you kindly preach from the
30th psalm , 5th verse : 'Weeping may
endure for a night , but joy cometh in
the morning : and much oblige a down
town business man. " So to all downa
town business men , and to all up town
business men , I say , if : rou have on
hand goods that you can not sell , and
debtors who will not , or can not , pay ,
and you are also suffering from uncertainty -
certainty as to what the imbecile
American congress will do about the
tariff , you have three troubles , and
enough to bring you within the range
of the consolation of my text , where
you find the triumph of Benaiah over
a lion , and a pit , and a snowy day. If
you have only one trouble , I can not
spend any time with you to-day. You
must have at least three , and then remember -
member how many have triumphed
over such a triad of misfortune. Paul
had three troubles : Sanhedrin denouncing -
cing him-that was one great trouble ;
physical infirmity , which lie called "a
thorn in the flesh , " and although we
know not what the thorn was , we do
know from the figure he used that it
must have been something that stuck
him-that was the second trouble ; approaching -
preaching martyrdom-that made the
three troubles. Yet , hear what he says :
"If I had only one misfortune , I could
stand that , but three are two too
many ? " No : I misinterpret. Ile says ,
"Sorrowful , yet always rejoicing ; poor ,
yet making many rich ; having nothing ,
yet posessing all things. " Thanks be
unto God , who giveth us the victory
through our Lord Jesus Christ. "
David had three troubles ; a bad boy ,
a temptation to dissoluteness , and de-
thronement. What does lie say ? "God
Is our refuge and strength , avery present -
sent help in time of trouble. Therefore ,
will not we fear , though the earth be removed -
moved , and though the mountains be
cast into the midst of the sea , "
John Wesley had three troubles : : Defamation -
famation by mobs ; domestic infelicity ;
fatigue from more sermons preached
and more miles traveled than almost
any man of his time. What does he say ?
"The best of all is , God is with us. "
And when his poet brother , Charles
Wesley , said to him , Brother John , if
the Lord were to give me wings , I'd fly. "
John's reply- was , "Brother Charles , if
the Lord told me to fly , I'd d it , and
leave him to find the wings. "
George Whitefield had three troubles :
Rejection from the pulpits of England
because he was too dramatic-that was
one trouble ; strabismus , or the crossing
of his eyes that subjected him to the
caricature of all the small wits of the
day ; vermin and dead animals thrown
at him while he preached on the com-
mons-that made three troubles. Never-
thelesshissermons were so buoyantthat
a little child dying soon after hearing
him preach said in the intervals of pain ,
"Letme go to Mr.Whiteield'sGod. " Oh ,
I am so glad that Benaiah of my text
was not the only one who triumphed
over a lion in a pit on a snowy day.
Notice in my text a victory over bad
weather. It was a snowy day , when
one's vitality is at a low ebb , and the
spirits are naturally depressed , and one
does not feel like undertaking a great
enterprisewhen Benaiah rubs his hands
together to 'warm them by extra friction -
tion , or threshes his arms around him
to revive circulation of the blood , and
then goes at the lion , which was all the
more fierce and ravenous because of the
sharp weather. Inspiration here admits -
mits atmospheric hindrance. The
snowy day 't Valley Forge well nigh
put an end to the struggle for American
independence. The snowy day demolished -
ished Napoleon's army on the way from
Moscow. The inclemency of January
and February weather has some years
bankrupted thousands of merchants.
Long succession of stormy Sabbaths
has crippled innumerable churches.
Lighthouses veiled by the snow on
many a coast have failed to warn off
from the rocks the doomed frigate.
Tens of thousands of Christians of nervous -
vous temperament by the depression
of a snowy day almost despair of
reaching heaven. Yet , in that style of
weather Benaiah of the text achieved
his most celebrated victory ; and let us
by the grace of God become victor over
influences atmospheric. If we are happy -
py only when the wind blows from the
clear northwest , and the thermometer is
above freezing point and the sky Is an
inverted blue cup of sunshine poured
all over us , it is a religion' 95 per cent off.
Thank God there are Christians , who ,
though their whole life through sickness
has been a snowy day , have killed every
lion of despondency that dared to put
its cruel paw against their suffering pil-
low. It was a snowy day when the pilgrim -
grim fathers set foot , not on a bank of
flowers , but on the cold New England
rock , and from a ship that might have
been more appropriately called after a
December huricane than after a "May-
flower , " they took possession of this great
continent. And . amid more chilly
worldly circumstances many a good
man or a good woman has taken pos-
session.of a whole continent of spiritual
satisfaction , valleys of peace , and
rivers of gladness , and mountains of
joy. Christ landed in our world not in
the month of May , but in the stormy
month of December , to show us tnat we
might have Christ -in winter weather ,
and on a snowy day.
Notice everything down in the pit
that snowy day depended upon Benai-
ah's weapon. There was as much
strengthin one muscle of that lion as
in all the muscles of both arms .of Be-
naiah. It is the strongest of beasts ,
and has been known to carry offzan ox.
Its tongue Is so rough-that it acts as a
i
rasp tearing off the flesh It licks. The
two great canines at each side of the
mouth make escape impossible for anything -
thing it has once seized. Yet Benaiah
puts his heel on the neck of thie "king
of beasts. " Was it a dagger ? Was it a
javelin ? Was It a knife ? I can not tell ,
but everything depended upon it. But ,
for that , Benaiah's body under one
crunch of the monster would have
been left limp and tumbled in the snow.
And when you and I go into the fight
with temptation , if we have not the
right kind of weapon , instead of
our slaying the lion , the lion will slay
us. The sword of the Spirit ! Nothing
in earth or hell can stand before that.
Victory with that , or no victory at all.
By that I mean prayer to God , confidence -
dence in his rescuing power , saving
grace , Almighty deliverance , I do not
care what you call it ; I call it "Sword
of the Spirit. " And if the lions of all
the jungles of perdition should at once
spring upon your soul , by that weapon
of heavenly metal YOU can thrust them
back , and cut them down , and stab
them through , and leave them powerless -
less at your feet. Your good resolution -
tion wielded against the powers which
assault you is a toy pistol against an
Armstrong gun ; is a pen knife held out
against the brandished sabres of a
Heintzeiman's cavalry charge. Go Into -
to the fight against sin on your own
strength , and the result will be the hot
breath of the lion in your blanched
face , and his front paws , one on each
lung. Alas ! 'for the man not fully
armed , down in the pit , on a snowy
day , and before him a lion.
All my hearers and readers have a
big fight of some sort on hand , but the
biggest and the wrathiest lion which
you have to fight is what the Bible calls
"The roaring lion , who walketh about ,
seeking whom he may devour. Now ,
you have never seen a real lion unless
you have seen him in India or Africa ,
just after capture. Long caging breaks
his spirit , and the constant presence of
human beings tames him. But you
ought to see him spring against the
iron bars in the zoological gardens of
Calcutta , and hear- him roar for the
prey. It makes one's blood curdle , and
you shrini : back , although you know
there is no peril. Plenty of lions in
olden time. Six hundred of , them were
slaughtered on one occasion in the presence -
ence of Pompey in the Roman amphi-
theater. Lions came out and destroyed
the camels which carried the baggage
of Xerxes' army. In Bible times there
were so many lions that they are frequently -
quently alluded to in the scriptures. Joel ,
the prophet , describes the "cheek teeth"
of a great lion ; and Isaiah mentions
among the attractions of heaven that
"no lion shall be there , and Amos
sneaks of a shepherd taking a lamb's
ear out of the mouth of a lion ; and
Solomon describes the righteous as
"bold as a lion ; and Daniel was a
great lion tamer ; and David , and Jeremiah -
emiah , and St. John often speak of
this creature.
Well , it will be better than that when
some of you are seen entering the harbor -
bor of heaven. You have had a rough
voyage-no mistake'about that. Snowy
day after snowy day. Again and again
the machinery of health and courage
broke down , and the waves of temptation -
tion haveswept clear over thehurricane
deck , so that you were often compelled
to say , "All thy waves and thy billows
have gone over me , " and you were
down in the trough of that sea , and
down in the trough of the other sea ,
and many despaired of your safe ar-
rival. But the great Pilot , not one who
must come off from some other craft ,
but the one who walked storm-swept
Galilee , and now walks the wintry Atlantic -
lantic , comes on board , and heads you
for the haven , when no sooner have
you passed the narrows of death than
you find all the banks lined with immortals -
mortals celebrating your arrival ; and
while some break off palm branches
from the banks and wave them , those
standing on one side will chant "There
shall be no more sea ; " and those standing -
ing on the other side will chant , "These
are they which came out of great tribulation -
ulation , and had their robes washed and
made white in the blood of the Lamb. "
Off of the stormy sea into the smooth
harbor. Out of leonine struggle in the
pit , to guidance by the lamb , who shall
lead you to living fountains of water.
Out of the snowy day of earthly seveil-
ities into the gardens of everlasting
flora , and into orchards of eternal fruitage -
age , the fall of their white blossoms the
only snow in heaven.

In a group of Cleveland and Duluth
people interested in iron mining at the
Grand Pacific yesterday the talk was
about the development of the Mesaba
range.
"Ilow is 'Mesaba' spelled now ? "
asked a Cleveland man. There was an
allaround laugh.
"The fashion this winter is Mis-

road replied. "We have adopted it on
our line. "
"I don't know how the official spelling -
ing is , " replied another railroader.
"The name of our station is spelled
'liesaba , ' and the name of our steamer
is 'Masaba. ' On the charts the name is
'Masabi ' Then there are 'Messaba , '
' ' and 'Mesabe ' all in
'Messabi , , use on

I guess it is the only word in the language -

and I suppose in a fPw years one wag

with many Indian names which now
go under one recognized spelling. "

In an Interview with a Reporter She
Reviews floc Experlenco and Tells the
Real Cause of the Miracle.
From Alpena , Michigan , Argus. ,
We have long known Mrs. Jas. M.
Todd of Long Rapids , Alpena County ,
Mich , She has been a sad cripple.
Many of her friends know the story of
her recovery ; for the benefit of those
who do not we publish it to-day.
Eight years ago she was taken with
nervous prostration , and in a few
months with muscular and inflamina-
tory rheumatism. ' It affected her
heart , then her head. Her feet became -
came so swollen she could wear notli-
lug on them ; her hands were drawn all
out of shape. Her eyes were swollen
shut more than half the time , her knee
joints terribly swollen and for eighteen
months she had to be held up to be
dressed. One limb became entirely
helpless , and the skin was so dry and
cracked that it would bleed. During
these eight years she had been treated t ,
by a score of physicians , and has also
spent much time at Ann Arbor under
best medical advice. All said her
trouble was brought on by hard work
and that medicine would not cure , and
that rest was the only thing which
would ease her. After going to live
with her daughter she became entirely
helpless and could not even raise lien
arms to cover herself at night. The
interesting part of the story follows In
her own words :
"I was urged to try Dr. Williams'
Pink Pills for Pale People and at last
did so. In three days after I commenced -
menced taking Pink Pills I could sit up
and dress myself , and after using theni
six weeks I went home and commenced i
working. I continued taking the pills ,
+
until now I begin to forget tny crutches
and can go up and down steps without
aid. I am truly a living wonder.
"Now , If I can say anything to Induce -
duce those who have suffered as I have
to try Pink Pills , I shall gladly do so.
If other like sufferers will try Pink
Pills according to directions , they will
have reason to thank God for creating
men who are able to conquer that terrible -
rible disease , rheumatism. I have in
my own neighborhood recommended
Pink Pills for the after effects of la
grippe , and weak women with impure
blood , and with good results. "
ills. Todd is very strong in her faith
in the curative powers of Pink Pills ,
and says they have brought a poor ,
helpless cripple back to do her owrr
nillking , churning , washing , sewing ,
knitting and in fact about all of her
household duties.
Dr. Williams' Pink Pills contain all
the elements necessary to give new life
and richness to the blood and restore
shattered nerves. They are for sale by
all druggists , or may be had by mail
from Dr. Williams' Medicine Company ;
Schenectady , N. Y. , for 50c per box , or
six boxes for $2.50.
Announcing the Engagement.
An engagement should be announced
first by the family of the bride-elect ,
writes Mrs. Burton llarrison in the
March Ladies' Home Journal. This is
done either verbally or informally to
friends , o by note to those whom it is
desired shall receive early informa-
tion. The man may at the same time
write to those of his friends whom he
desires to have share in his happiness
and whom the girl's family could not
so well reach. Churlish , indeed , would
the spirit to withhold interest in
a new engagement , and the telling of
it by the principals almost always inspires -
spires a kindly feeling for then in
those told. Lovers have , perhaps , the
best-founded claim to thinking tlieni-
selves of first interest to a community
of any class of people , and are quite
entitled to assume all the honors and
privileges of the situation.
Several articles which are an outcome
of Julian ilalph's voyage to China , undertaken -
dertaken in the interests of llarper's
Magazine and harpers Weekly , will be
published in the Magaine during the
summer months. The first of the series
will be entitled "house-boating in Chime -
me , and will appear in the .Tune liar-
pers. In all there will be three arti
Iles or mere , amply and beautifully
illustrated from drawings by C. D. Weldon -

interesting points in China which are
described.
