"Perhaps I can do nothing better," ho
began, "than to tell you the secret of mr
good health. It is a story that I have told .
to many, recently, and as* it resulted in
good in each case, it may be worth your 42
while to listen to it. TO begin with, I was
not always strong and roet»t, as I am
now. • Long hours of work and hard study
had Jef% me in a wretched condition.
Frightful, lingering headaches found me a ,
ready victim, and at times I was so nervous
that the dropping of a pin would
cause me to give a violent start, and then fiJ
I would be seized with a fit of trembling * -
that was, to put it mildly, exceedingly
bothersome. Well, 1 began to doctor myself;
Now I flatter myself that I know
something of medicine; but with all my
knowledge, I could find nothing that would
cure those terrible headaches or put an
end to my extreme nervousness. When I.
picked up a bottle my hand would shake as
though I had the chills, and if it was a
powder that I was handling I stood; a good
chance of sprinkling it all over these black
trousers. Things went from bad to worse,
and I soon realized that a man of my physical
condition had better not attempt to ^
mlx any medicine.
" 'Try a box ofDr. Williams' Pink Pills.'
said Dr. Burkhardt, one day: and as yon
know tbe doctor's advice is*always worth
following, I got the Pink Pills ana began to
take them. Before I had taken tbe
contents of one box my headache began to
give me a day off occasionally, and soon it
left me entirely. How about my nervousness?
Well, the pills put an end to that -
with almost startling abruptness. You see
I know enough about the business to appreciate
the Importance of following the prescribing
physicians' directions, and by
paying strict attention to those given by Dr.
Williams I was soon another fellow. Look
at me now! A picture of health, eh ? Well,

aroused the whole party, and instantly
there was a rush en the part at his
brother and sister to aid him. Mi»

Jones, accompanied her.
The remainder of the crowd shouted
to them to desist, that there was danger
Of their being drowned, but the three
young people crowded about the break
in the ice and in their frantic etorts
to rescue the little fellow they brake
-t, through, and, coming up under the "ice,
died before their friends, who were
near, {could break It in time to save
them. The wonder 1 is that more were
not drowned, for nearly everybody on
the ice came dangerously near to the
gaping hole, and there were auumber
of narrow escapes.
Those who saw the accident say they
. will never forget it. They were within
a few feet of the Unfortunates, could

noted their gestures of distress after
they passed under the ice, but were

APPEAL TO CONGRESS.
PRESIDENT CLEVELAND SENDS
A SPECIAL MESSAGE.
Vita UfWaton Asked to Remata ta
Imita to Ce—Her % Plan for the
Boriata* of «ko Finance«—Text of tbo
The folowing message was aent to
congress by the President Friday:
To the Congress: In my last annual
message the evils of our present financial
system were plainly pointed out
and the causes and means of the depletion
of government gold was explained.
It was therein stated that after all the
efforts that had been made by the executive
branch of the government to
protect our gold reserve by the issuance
of bonds, amounting tt> more than $162,-
000,000, such reserve then amounted to
but little more than $79,000,000, about
116,000,000 had been withdrawn from
such reserve during the month next
previous to the date of that mAaage,
and quite'large; withdrawals for shipment
in the immediate future were predicted.
The contingency then feared has
reached us, and the withdrawal of gold
aince the communication referred to
and others that appear Inevitable
threaten such a depletion in oun info government
gold reserve as brings ut\fa< lillace
to face with the necessity of further
action for its protection. This condition
Is further intensified by the prevalence
In certain Quarters of sudden
and unusual apprehension and timidity
in busi ness circles. .-J
We are In the midst cf another season
to give to prevent in a time of fear and
apprehension any sacrifice of the people's
interests and the public funds or
the impairment of our public credit
In an effort by executive action to relieve
the dangers of the present contingency.

New Yerk, Dec. 23.—R. O. Dun ft Co.'a
Weekly Review of Trade says;
"The strong Americanism of the
President's message haa given its character
to the week. Popular feeling was
profoundly moved, but excepting in
stock and cotton markets business was
remarkably dull and scarcely affected.
The selling of securities held abroad
Was naturally a first impulse, though
the sellers are likely in time to discover
that no other securities are safer
from international complicationa than
the American. Coming at a time when
nearly all produce markets are inactive
and industries unusually dull, the
disturbance has affected- values much
less than might have been expected.
"Not because of any foreign question,
but solely because of influences which
have been in continuoua operation for
months, prices of manufactured goods
continued to decline. There is no great
change In boots and shoes, and in some
branches the demand appears a little
better, though gradually lower prices
are offered - and lead Jobbers to look for
prices still lower. Shipments from the
east are an eighth smaller than last
week, but 3 per cent larger for the
month to date. Leather still declined,
averaging 2 per cent lower for the week,

M'VIckzR'S THEATER.—Rory of
the Hill enters upon the second week of
its run on Sundsy evening next, the 22d.
For the last fifteen years James Connor
Roach has beeh concocted with the
American stage, and is well-known to
his profession as a capable Actor in
many parts, and a severe critic of the
degenerate Irish drama.
A study of Rory of the Hill, the latest
Irish play from his pen, reveals cleVër
and astonishing work on the part of the
actor ¿and author. Thè^squireen has
strength and logic in Ws despicable
makeup, 4s really a successful
business man and makes few mistakes;
and his lovely -daughter is the heroine
of the play. - The attorney and the villain
are evidently faithful portraits of
.real castle servants, for they are never
ehtirely on top, and „never wholly
^Overthrown, and they have human
movements. The spy is the most terrible
of the portraits which the stage
hais yet given of this type, and the sincerity
of his malice pierces the Jieart^
and after alt Eè id not a spy, |but a
violent character whom the suspicion of
great wrong has driven into the police
service that he may get full revenge.
The lady of the Hall is* a sweet, reserved
woman without any dread of the
past or'fear of black-mail. The Irish
mother matches her in sweetness and
dignity, speaks low, laughs rarely, dees
not dance nor fight, and is on the best
terms with her neighbors. The colleett
is simple in her manners, dresses^ well,
doea.no high kicking or giggling, and
displays all the reserve and modesty of
a real Irish gixk The hero, as Roach
portrays him, is a big, honest, capable
boy, rough but sweet, humorous often,
but of toner serious; respectful to his
superiors, distant With the Women, shy.
, with his colleen, afraid even to touch
her dress. He nèver breaks into song
at any'montent of the play, dances hilt
once, only to, oblige his friends, and
then takes only a few steps. He has
little to say about fighting and less to
do. His rough courtesy is continuous,
and perfect of its kind. His rage and
his pathos are émotions to see. His
patriotism is felt in his words, seen in
his actions; from first to last J*e is so
natural, so different from the creature
paraded too often in Irish drama that
one wonders over him'. He is le^i
picturesque than Myles-na-Coppaleen;
ahd. more vehement than Shaun the
Post. There is more action than sentiment
in him, yet in the tender moments
of the play, in love for his
mother and colleSn, in devotion to his
frienèé, his feelings have finely tender
expression. Rory of the Hill is unlike
the traditional Irish comedy-drama. It
Is a strict departure from conventionalism.
The company carries a carload of
magnificent scenery and effects, and a
grand production is assured.

How Three of Our Boys Spent
a Jen Days' Vacation.
We (Lyman Powers, Carl Meyer and
the scribe) left Chicago Tuesday £ven-
' t ing, Dec. 10th, at 5:02 o:clock P m, for
Atlanta, Ga., and arrived there at 6:30
o'clock the next evening, two and onehalf
houW'late,:
Atlanta Is 733 miles from Chicago
and is «the capital of Georgia.
Atlanta first acquired its legal name
by a charter passed In l847, "and the
name "Gate City" was first applied at
a banquet given at Charleston in 1856.
Atlanta was under martial law in
1864, and the population was 20,000.
The battles of^Atianta were fought
here July ¿band 22, 1864, and the city
was captured by£tierman, September
2, 1864. The entire' population was
exiled from the city September 12,
1864, and the city was destroyed Nov
ember 16,1864. pitizen? began to return
in December, 1864. The population
in 1894 was 125,000.
The area of the city is 10i miles, it
has 200 miles of streets, 60 miles of
^ which are paved; 182 miles of sldet
walks,^4 miles of electric street rail
ways,>®nd the assessed valuation of
property is 154,600,109.00. f
Atlanta is specially favored as to
centrallty, altitude *nd temi»erature
1050 feet above the Sea level—--with an
average temperature of 42 degrees in
| 'Winter and 76.9 deigrees in Summer,
^ and with a central location between
the South Atlantic-Coapt and. the
Gulf of Mexico, it is unsurpassed, being
remarkably mild and equable—t
medium between that gL-fche tropica
and cold temperate latitudes.
The healthfulness of .Atlanta is proverbial,
presenting as it does, a favort
able exhibit of all the features essential
to*health, such as elevation, drainage,
dryness of air, no fogs, and exemption
from epidemics and malarial visitations.
1 such artistic skill that it Is now one at
the most delightful and attractive resorts
of the country; at Fort Walker
can be seen the original fortifications
anB embankments which were used
during theSriege and defense of Atlanta
in 1864; McPherson Park contains
a monument erected by the
Army of the Cumberland on the sp6t
where General McPherson fell, July
22, 186^1, during the battle of Atlanta.
Thursday and Friday we visited the
Cotton States and Intemat&nal Exposition,
whlcÈi was opened September
18,1895, and closes next Tuesday, December
31. It is the third largest exposition
ever held in the United States»

West of the tte^a Manufactures

we found thè Machinery building,
500x118 feet. We found in this building
a large collection of mechanical
devices. It also contains the motive
