On a Dnbllh Woolsack. ' Justice Martin J. Keogh , of the su preme court of New York , visited the Four Courts , Dublin , the other day , and for some time occupied a seat on the bench in nisi prius court No. 1 with Justice Barton. I "Why They Called Uim Mary. Two young Phlladelphians , who were introduced to each other by a friend of both the other day , scrutin ized each other closely , and then one of them said : "I think I used to know you. Didn't we sail together on the Bchoolship Saratoga about twelve years ago ? " "Yes , I remember you very well now , " replied the other. "You weren't as tough as the rest of us. We thought you were a dude. We called you Mary , didn't we ? " "Yes ; I remember the nickname perfectly. " "Why did they call you Mary ? " ask ed the mutual friend. "To the best of my recollection , " said the young man who had been so named , "it was be cause I used a tooth brush ! " The two former shipmates laughed heartily as they recalled the old , careless days. Has Lived in Three Centuries. Another of the three-century cen tenarians , who is quite ready for her obituary , is Mrs. ElizabethHunt , of Brooklyn , who , by the record in the family Bible , was born 101 years ago Saturday , and though her sight and memory are failing , she is out every 'day and her delight is taking trolley trips. The secret of ignorance is not to know your lack of wisdom. , Sirs. Madison's Case. Polk City , la. , Oct 14th. For over ten years Mrs. Elizabeth P. Madison , a respected lady of this place has sufl fered most severely with Kidney trouble complicated with derange ments of the bowels and liver. Rheu matism another painful result of de ranged Kidneys added its tortures to ' her burden of pain. Treatments and medicines without number were tried ; physicians also exhausted their skill , but all to no .purpose. At this stage of the case a treat ment of Dodd's. Kidney Pills was re sorted to and the results were simply miraculous , from the very first box an improvement was noticed and the continued treatment resulted in a complete cure. This remarkable cure created a de cided sensation in the neighborhood because of the complications of the case as well as its severity and appar ent hopelessness. "Upon investigation Dodd's Kidney Pills are found to be the only remedy that has ever cured Bright's Disease , Diabetes or Dropsy and these hitherto incurable diseases are readily con quered by this remarkable remedy. A woman can't see any farther than the end of her nose if it has a pim ple on it.

SOLD BY ALL DEALERS IN MEDICINE. CROPS North Dakota has just harvested awon derful crop of heat and flax. Reports from the various railway points along the "Soo" Line show yields of 25 to 38 bushels to the acre of wheat , and from 15 to 20 hushels of flax per acre. Flax is now bringing $1.25 per bushel. Most of the crop was raised on newly broken land , so that the first crop pays for the farm and all the labor , and leaves a handsome profit. There is still plenty of good free govern ment land open for entry ; also good open ings to go into business in the new towns along the "Soo" Line.

AddresB MIES , 87 Market 6t. , CUlctgo , IlL Two Hundred and Hfty Liberals Assail the Poorly Equipped Garrison. CHARGE FROM BOTH DIRECTIONS Canoes Enable them to Remch Kemote Point Daring Darkness British Ship Bans Into Hornet's Nest After Anchoring Becomes a Target. COLON , Colombia , Oct. 9. A force of liberals , numbering at least 250 , at tacked Morro Island , commanding the entrance to the port of Tumaco , Sep tember 24. The island had all along been garrisoned with fewer than 100 troops , well supplied with arms , am munition and commissary stores , in cluding more than 150 head of cattle and other provisions in proportion. The landing was effected before day break by means of canoes. Simultan eously the island was stormed from the other end by liberals on the main land. Morro island is surrounded by shallow sandbanks and the only means of approaching Tumaco is by the Nar row river , which is within easy range of the island. The British steamer Quito , bound from Guayaquil , Ecuador , for Panama , and touching at ports between , an chored off Morro island on the night of September 26 and weighing anchor at daybreak , started up the stream to ward Tumaco. The liberals fired a shot across its bows. Suspecting the situation it immediately turned , but rifle shots and one cannon continued to be fired at it , the former striking the boat several times and the latter once , the ball making a hole right through above the water mark , though the damage in other respects was slight. Quito then steamed to the fartherest point the tide would permit and again anch'ored. The firing was now re sumed , but it ceased after a few min utes , the liberals having discovered the imprudence of their action. It is significant that shortly after the Quito incident became known the Brit ish warship Icarus left Panama for a destination not made public , but pre sumably Tumaco. The steamship agents have been officially notified ant to accept freight at the port. TREATY IS IN f REE SPIRIT. Neither Uncle Sam Nor John Bull Blake any Beal Sacrifice. WASHINGTON , Oct. 9. There has been no surrender by England to the United States in the matter of the new Isthmathian canal treaty , according to the best authorities here. It is said to be equally true that the United States has sacrificed no principle in these negotiations. It is said that what actually had happened is that each side has preserved the underly ing principle of the Clayton-Bulwer treaty and the new convention will provide for a waterway , neutral at all times and open to commerce of the world. The Clayton-BulWer treaty , however , drawn half a century ago , has proved to be defective in mechan ism for giving effect to this purpose. The new treaty simply provides this mechanism. England is relieved from the guaranty , which in its case was only troublesome and which , being as sumed by the United States in toto , is quite as effective. As viewed from the American point of view even , there was no surrender on England's part in seeking this re lief , inasmuch as the above men tioned principle is reiterated and af firmed as binding upon the United States. As for the form of the treaty It may be stated that it embodies in substance the amendments to the Hay-Pauncefote treaty which was signed by the senate and beyond that the changes are believed to be text ual arather than substantial.
