Harrington, of Princeville, HI- lor many years Mr. Harrington has traveled through the country on profitable journeys io an itinerant merchant, and everywhere he goes he is given a hearty welcome by the people who depend upon his visits for the purchase ot the neeesHariea and some of the luxuries, of life. Mr. Harrington is a veteran of the war, and from this fact is made the remarkable experience which he related at the T/viziaertpt office recently. His story, telling of the evils of which the Civil War was but the beginning in his own. and in thousands of other cases, was as follows: •‘I served three years in the 124 tr. Illinois enlisting at Kewanee, 111. I was in Libby Prison, and suffered, like many another Northern soldier. Until recently I was a member of the Princeville Post, of the G. A. 11. “The strain of army life did its work in i undermining my health, although the col- I lapse did not come for years. For some time : I Buffered from general debility and nervousness, so badly that. I could not sleep. For I fifteen years my sleep was completely broken , up. .Indigestion, resulted and my misery in- I creased My eyes began to fail, and as my body lost vitality my mind seemed to give way also. I could scarcely remember events that happened but a few weeks before. “For two years I was unfitted for bttstness. I was just able to creep around during the greater part of this time, and there timen when I could not get up at all. My brother is a doctor, but all his efforts to help me failed to give me any relief. I tried a number of remedies, without avail. Finally, having read article* regarding cures that had been effected by Pr. ilHum’ Pink Pills for Pale Pf<>pK I decider lo try them. That was in 1896. I bought a box and took the pills according to instructions. Just four days later I had the

Balfour, first lord of the treasury angoverunient leader in the house of com mons, addressed his constituents ti Manchester on the government policy in China, and said there was no objection to Russia having an ice-free port, provided England was not excluded; but the government would do its utmost t<> prevent China yielding to foreign pressure to make regulations adverse to Great Britain, or “any improbable, but possible attempt to dot the coast ol China with foreign stations by protectionist countries who would raise customs or other barriers to our trade.” The burden of the whole declaration was that England’s policy iu China is for the benefit of the world at larg° The morning paper editorials of all shade of po’ : tieal opinion, express great satisfaction at Mr. Balfour’s exposition of the principles guiding the government’s policy iu the far east, but they complain of the absence' of definite statements. DURRANT’S BODY. Neither Cemeteries Nor Crematories Will Receive It. San Francisco, Jan. 10. — There seems to be no place for the body of Theodore Durrant. Both crematories here have absolutely refused to handle the remains and uo cemetery has yet consented to receive them. They arc still at the Durrant house and it looks as though they would stay there for some time. The elder Durrant said: “My efforts to carry out the last wishes of the dead boy have been unavailing. The crematories refuse to take the body and cemeteries are likewise reluctant. We may ship the remains to Los Angeles and hav-' them cremated there, or we may tai - '* the body and bury it at sea.

WANTS BIG DAMAGES UNCLE SAM ASKED TO COLLECT $5,000000 FROM FRANCE. X Dr. Herz, Claim* lie Whs Injured That Amount by Bring Arrested and Having His Property Confiscated by the French 1 Government, Washington - . Jan. 11.—Counsel for Dr. Cornelius Herz appeared before So , licitor Penfield at the state department and presented a claim for indemnity in the sum of $5,000,000 against the French government for an alleged attempt tc persecute Dr. Herz. The case is remarkable in many ways and, it is said at the department, is without a precedent. i The facts, in brief, are that Dr. Herz, whose name stands very high in scientific circles as an electrician and physicist, although born in France, of French parents, is an American citizen. When he was about 3 years of age his parents came to New York and acquired American citizenship. ; Young Herz was educated in the New York free academy, and received twe degrees. He rounded this out by courses in Heidelberg and other great European universities. He married an American woman, and when his two children were born in. Paris, he caused them to be registered as American citizens at the consulate. I Jan. 19, 1893, his troubles began. He was stopping at Borunemouth, Eng., with his wife, in bad health, when he Wis arrested under extradition proceedings on a warrant from the French government charging him with fraud and embezzlement, growing out of the Panama canal scandal. Under the law a prisoner wanted for extradition must appear at th i Bow Street police court. Herz was confined to his bed and so was unable to anpear. The case was kept open and he was continued under arrest in bis bed four years, during 1893-1-5 and 1896. Then the British parliament cartie to the relief and passed a special act that permitted the magistrate to attend Herz's bedside and take his testimony. This was done and the magistrate promptly declared that the charges were utterly invalid and scarcely deserving of notice. That was on May 2, 1896, and Herz was re'eased from arrest. Meanwhile the French government had instituted numerous proceedings agaiust him in Franco and confiscated all of the propefty of himself and of his wife. Dr. Herz alleges that this was persecution pure and simple, and that the Frencu government knew that the charges against him were baseless before his trial. Therefore, claiming to have been injured in name and in health, he demands that the state department shall prefer a claim against the French government in full reperation. Indiana Postmasters. Washington, Jan. 11.—The president sent the following nominations for Indiana postmasters to the senate yesterday: Enoch D. Moffett, Hartford City; Frank I. Sefrit, Washington; Samuel B. Brilhart.

"WASHINGTON LETTER ; A Remarkable Story About Justice Field—The Sleeping Lion Roused. Manufacturers Duped. I [Special Correspondence.) The recent retirement of the veterair Justice Stephen J Field calls to mind a remarkable story concerning the aged' jurist and his failing physical strength. Last spring two of the assistant justices of the supreme court were requested by Ghief Justice Fuller to “coach ’ Justice Field on a court decision in which the aged and infirm jurist was to take part They were not, of course, to attempt to influence his opinion, but were to save him all the work they could and give him the benefit of their researches among the authorities. The two justices called one night at Mr Field s house and found the veteran in an unusually lethargic condition He sat in a big armchair, his head bowed down upon his breast, bis eyes closed The Old Legal Lion Aroused. Finally one of the visitors took from his pocket some memoranda he had prepared on the casein hand It was really the basis of his own conclusions and contained a statement of the points involved, citations from decisions bearing upon them and an exposition of the philosophy of the law leading to the conclusion He asked permission to read this to Justice Field, and taking silence as consent proceeded to read aloud For some minutes Justice Field s head lay still upon his breast His eyes remained closed No one in the room could be sure that he understood a word that was uttered. But presently the old justice lifted his head ail'd opened his eyes It seemed that the legal phrases, the constitutional arguments, the statements of law so familiar through all these years to his mi nd had at last roused the sleeping brain to activity In another moment or two Justice Field raised his right hand. “That is not right That is not good law You err When you say so and so. And then Mr Field, now thoroughly roused, delivered an argument which for depth, clearness and force astonished both his listeners. This done, he relapsed into his termer comatose condition When the tv. o visitors gathered up their papers and left the room. Justice Field was still asleep He did net know when they left The sequel of this little story is the mest interesting part of it When the two justices compared notes on their way down town together, they wen both forced to admit that Justice Field was right. He had assaulted their position so successfully that they were forced to abandon it, and in this way, as a matter ot fact, the aged jurist really overturned a decision of the court, for other justices who agreed with these two were also forced to change their views v. hen the arguments advanced by Mr. Field were reported tc them. His Second Natv.re. To this day, ?ay,s Walter Wellman, who tells tho story, it is an open question with the two justices who called on Mr Field that night’ whether or not the veteran was fully conscious at the time he delivered his argument. It seemed to them that the legal phrases which his cars heard and carried to his brain simply roused his mind to a sort ot automatic activity • (ine’e set going, that mind operated with accuracy and unfailing logic, apparently without effort. At least nothing else, no other sort of mental stimulus, could at that moment have found response in coherency in his mind He was oblivious to everything save his second nature, which was the law and its interpretation The ninth statistical report of the interstate commerce commission for the year ended June 30, 1896, gives interesting information concerning the mileage, equipment, number of employees, capitalization and valuation, accidents and earnings and expenses of railways in the United States for the year named One hundred and fifty-one roads, representing 30,475 miles of operated mileage, were in the hands of receivers on June 30. 1896, a decrease of 18 from the previous year The capital stock represented by the railways controlled by receivers was $7-12,597,698, and tho funded debt was $999,733,766 The total railway mileage on Juiie.3o, 1896, was 182,776, an increase of 2, il9 for the year. Georgia showing the largest increase—viz. 233 miles. Co~pensation of Railway Men. Au interesting feature cf the report is a summary showing the amount of compensation paid to railway employees of the United States, who aggregated 826,620 Their aggregate compensation amounted to ovc. 60 per cent of the to tai expenses of all railways, a slight decrease from the preceding year. Passengers- carried during the’ year numbered 51 1,772,737. an increase of dver 4,000,000 compared with the previous year, which, however. showed a decrease of 33,266,837 as coin pared with 1894. Nearly 1,900 employees were killed and almost 30,000 injured during the year, an increase of 50 in those killed and over 4,000 in the number injured. One hundred and eighty-one pas seugers were killed and 3.000 injured. American Manufacturers Duped. Many American manufacturers have received requests for the establishment of agencies in Berlin and other European cities These applications were made by men who could furnish excel lent references After the establishment of the agency one of each of the various machines turned out by the American firm was shipped to the German branch, and the receipt of large orders was confidently awaited But no orders ever camo The first consignment of goods was paid for, and nothing further heard from the agent The so called agent was working in collusion with a Ger man manufacturer. They proceeded tc imitate the .•merican articles as closely as they could, using the samples sent them as models. They arc doing a thriv ing business in selling ••genuine Amerl can goods'' to German customers. Caul Schofield.

Wasting in Children can be overcome in almost all case: by the use of Scott's Emulsion of Cod-Liver Oil and the Hypophosphites of Lime and Soda. While it is a scientific fact that cod-livei cil is the most digestible oil in existence, in SOOTHS EMULSION it is not only palatable, but it is already digested and made ready for immediate absorption by the system. It is also combined with fthe hypophosphites, which supply a food not only foi the tissues of the body, but for the bones and nerves, and will build up the child when its ordinary food docs not supply proper nourishment.
