STONE IN HER STOMACH. From the Gazette, Blandinsville, Iil. The wife of the Rev. A. R. Adams, pastor of the Bedford Christian Church at Blan- dinsville, lll., was for years compelled to live a life of torture from disease. Her case baffied the physicians, but today she is alive and well and tells the story of her recovery as follows: “About six years ago,” said Mrs. Adams, “I weighed about 140 ne but my health began to fail and I lost flesh. My food did not agree with me and felt like a stone in my stomach. I began to bloat all over until J thought I had dropsy. “T had pains and soreness in my left side which extended clear across my back and also into the region of my heart. During these spells a hard ridge would appear in the left side of my stomach and around the left side. “These attacks left me sore and ex- hausted. Alllastsummer I wasso nervous that the children laughing and playing nearly drove me wild. I suffered also from female troubles and doctered with ten dif- qorent physicians without receiving any elp. “Kiy husband having read in the abe per of Dr. | tl Williams’ | Pink Pills for Pale Peo- ple, induced me to try them.

I now have a good appetite and am able to do my own work. Have done more this summer than in the past four years put together. Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills for Pale People cured me, and I think it my duty to let other sufferers know it.” Hundreds of equally remarkable cases have been cured by Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills.

The SO C7 HIS FATHER AT THE FRONT. No more gratifying appointment has been made by President McKinley than that of the eldest son of General Ulysses S. Grant, colonel of the Four- teenth regiment, New York State Na- tional guard, to be brigadier-general. He was chosen colonel unanimously by the officers of the Fourteenth reg- iment of Brooklyn and was mustered into the United States army with his regiment at Camp Black, Hempstead, Long Island. He took his regiment to Chickamauga Park, and was there placed in command of a brigade, com- Posed of three regiments, and was acting as brigadier-general when he received his commission from the war department. Frederick Dent Grant is the eldest son of ex-President Ulysses S. Grant. He was born in St. Louis, Mo., on the 30th of May, 1850. As a boy he was with his father at various times and places when it was convenient for the general to have his family with him —at Fort Henry, Corinth, Vicksburg, Nashville and City Point, in front of Petersburg. He accompanied his father to Washington and was with him when he received his commission as lieutenant-general from President Lincoln. After the war he entered West Point as a cadet, and graduated in 1871. On leaving the Military Academy he obtained a leave of ab- sence and accepted a position as an engineer for the Union Pacific rail- road, and assisted in the various sur- veys across the continent. In 1872 he made a trip to Europe with General Sherman. On his return, in 1878, he joined his regiment in Texas, and as- sisted in making the preliminary sur- veys for the Texas Pacific railway. with him to remain abroad as our representative at the imperial court of Austria. He insisted, however, upon resigning, and returned to America in 1893, since which time he has made his home in New York, and under the reform administration of Mayor Strong was one of the police commissioners of the city. Our picture represents Colonel Grant seated in front of his tent at Camp Black. Both in face and figure he bears a striking resemblance to his illustrious father. He is a soldier by birth and education, and he has al- ready demonstrated, in the care and disposition of his men, in camp and on the march, the advantages of the knowledge and training which our great military academy confers upon men whose duty it is to command. Already he has won the confidence of his regiment. The Fourteenth reach- ed Chickamauga at 3 o’clock in the afternoon, and immediately bivou- acked on the western slope of Lytle Hill, headquarters of Major-General Brooke. Colonel Grant bivouacked with his regiment. A few used knap- sack tents to shelter themselves, but he, rolled up in his blanket, lay down beneath the stars. He took his break- fast in the morning on the trunk of a fallen tree, his meal consisting of the fried bacon, “hardtack” and black coffee supplied to his men. It is this willingness to share the hardships of war which distinguished our great leaders, both in the revolution and the later war of sec~ssion, that has estab- lished the relations of confidence and sympathy of rank and file which have SAYINGS OF THE DARKIES. Secret Nature of the Flies—A Substitute for Marriage—A Negro‘s Illustration From New York Sun: The southern darkies are a constant source of amuse- ment, when they are not the cause of unmitigated wrath, to the northern peo- ple who go down there among them. The other day a young northern wom- an, living in Washington and possessed of a deep and abiding antipathy for flies, complained to Lucinda, the col- ored servant, that there were a good many of the pests in the house. “I don’t see, Lucinda,” she remarked se- verely, “how all these flies could get in if you kept the screen doors closed.” “Well, I dunno, eitheh, Miss,” cheer- fully remarked Lucinda. “But you know they is of a secret nachuh, Miss.” Down in Mississippi, in one of the lum- ber towns, which is owned by north- erners, the house servants and some of the laborers are darkies. They are not very strict in their notions of law and order, and they have their own and very lax ideas along the line of matri- mony. Wives and husbands are swap- ped off with such freedom and fre- quency that it is rather hard to keep track of the exact contemporaneous combination among the negroes at a given time. The colored people have solved the delicate point of expressing exact relationship by avoiding the sub- ject of matrimony altogether. “’Lize she’s cookin’ fur Duke Johnson now.” That’s the way they put it. The wom- an doesn’t “marry” anybody. She “cooks fur” him. One of these darkies was telling about a woman on a steam- boat. The levee had caved so that the boat had to land further up than usual. It was at night and the searchlight, turned on the bank, did not reveal any- thing familiar to the woman. She hung back, therefore, and the darky who had been detailed to put her ashore didn’t know what to do. “She stood thah like a horse lookin’ at a strange gate,” he said. It was this same negro who was one day listening to one of his acquaintances dilate on experiences with the Lord. From the darky’s ac- counts these experiences seemed to have been extremely intimate, and without a word of comment the negro spoke up and said: ‘Wen you all seen de Lord, wah He?” That is to say: made our armies invincible. When you saw the Lord, where was iy Gj { aN Lose wm van ate lla Ws BRIGADIER-GENERAL F. D, GRANT AT THE FRONT. Subsequently he was assigned to the staff of General Sheridan as aide-de- camp, and was with him in the cam- paigns on the frontier against the In- dians. Colonel Grant married in Oc- tober, 1874, Miss Ida Honore, daugh- ter of Mr. H. H. Honore, of Chicago, by whom he has two children—Miss Julia Grant, born June 7, 1876, in the white house, and Ulysses S. Grant, born July 4, 1881, in Chicago. Colonel Grant resigned his com- mission in the army in 1881, and en- gaged in business in New York. He assisted his father in the preparation of his memoirs—that great work of the lamented general, written during a period of great trouble and distress of mind and body, the last contribu- tion which he made to the history of his country. Colonel Grant had filled these various positions, both in mili- tary and civil life, in a highly cred- itable manner, and had won public esteem and confidence, which, with the fact of his distinguished lineage, recommended him to one of the great political parties of New York, and in 1887 he was nominated for the office of secretary of state. Owing to the political complications of that year, Colonel Grant failed of an election. However, in 1888, the following year, he was appointed by President Har- rison minister of the United States to Austria, where his success in se- curing the admission of American products and in protecting American citizens from military duty won for him the highest commendation, and, on Mr. Cleveland’s election, Colonel Grant was informed that, unless he insisted, his resignation would not be eecepted, and that it was optional The Marriageable Age. The “marriageable age” varies great- ly. In Austria a “man” and “woman” of fourteen are supposed to be capable of conducting a home of their own. In Germany the man must be at least eighteen years of age. In France and Belgium the man must be eighteen and the woman fifteen. In Spain the in- tended husband must have passed his fourteenth year and the woman her twelfth. The law in Hungary for Ro- man Catholics is that the man must be fourteen years old and the woman twelve; for Protestants the man must be eighteen and the woman fifteen. In Greece the man must have seen at least fourteen summers and the woman twelve. In Russia and Saxony they are more sensibie, and a youth must re- frain from matrimony till he can count eighteen years, and the woman till she can count sixteen. In Switzerland men from the age of fourteen and women from the age of twelve are allowed to marry. The Turkish law provides that any youth and maid who can walk properly and can understand the nec- essary religious service are allowed to be united for life. For Value Received.

From the Kansas City Star: With the arrival of 5,000 volunteers the Jeffer- son barracks canteen swirled with busi- ness. It was a downright luxury for the volunteers who were unused to eat- ing government rations, as well as a windfall for the Third Cavalry, which operated it. The Third had been sta- tioned at the barracks, but is now at the front. There was this difference, however—that the hungry customer who pushed into the restaurant erying “Get me a steak quick!” would find the waiter oblivious to his presence for a space of several minutes. “Can’t I have a steak?” The waiter would not turn from his conversation with a sol- dier about how the Third fared at Chickamauga. “Say, won’t you take my order?” Then, wiping his hands on his apron, disclosing cavalry trousers, the waiter would reply: “You can have ham and eggs if you are good.” In the barroom it was the same thing. The customers who shouted loudly for beer woud have to wait. If they beat on the counter the bartender would say: “Here, mister, if you do that again you won’t get any beer.” Wise were those who came to the canteen with fitting humility, for they were served promptly.
