Paymaster Sheldon, of the Bee-line, is making Ims usual monthly rounds, paying for February *ervice. He now pays from the pay-car 5,462 person*. John Ewan, superintendent of the Bee line, Indianapolis diva.jon, is having a tussle with chills and fever. V?sterday he was confined to his room. 1. J. MoN. y, formerly agent of the Grand Trunk at Winnipeg, has been appointed agentat Detroit for t <• W+.„t Shore and Hoosac Tunnel lines, vice *5. W< Smith, resigned. The Pennsyh ania Railroad Company is en?avoriug to, make the names of its stations •tiform the names of the pos bodices m the .mail aud is making numerous changes in names jf stations on the several divisions of e •yam. Yi#* tern merchant* will hardly be likely to experience any more trouble by the diversion *f their freights when shipped from the East, l the trunk line pool managers having become estisCod that this was one of the weak points in the late pool. The employes of the mam line of the Baltimore & Ohio railroad are arranging to give Captain William M. Clements, their retiring gensml superintendent, a complimentary banquet at the Queen City Hotel, Cumberland, in a few days. Captain Clements's resignation takes effect April L George E. Farrington, secretary of the Terre kTante & Indianapolis Railroad Company; N. K. K*ott, master of transportation on the Vandalia Item; J. R. Kendall, assistant general freight Bit. and C. B. Cole, division superintendent of BIOtuo& Mississippi road, are in the city, in Bendnnce at the Scottish Rite conclava average cost per mile for running locomotives or. the Bee-line proper last year wa3 14 84 100 cents, a decrease as compared with cost in 1883 of 1 39-100 cent per mile. On the Indianapolis & St. Louis the average cost per mile was 13 94-100, showing a net decrease in 1884, as compared with 1833, of 1 31-100 cent per mile run. At the annual election of the C. & M. V. railroad stockholders. T. D. Messier was chosen president, and G. B. Roberts, Charles Moran. James Buckingham, W A. Graham and James Hardman disectors. The road, which is a Panhandle leased line from Dresden to Morrowtowa. lost last year $147,000, of which $105,000 was for interest on bonds. The Cleveland. Oolnrabus, Cincinnat & Indianapolis Railroad Company expended on the Bees line proper in improvements last year $258,887.77; upon improvements to the Cincinnati & Springfield division there was expended SIG2,179.74. The C., C., C. & I. company advanced for improvements to the Indianapolis & St. Louis division during the year $1,087,293.71. The probability that the Pennsylvania and Vandalia lines will shorten their running time between St. Louis nnd New York, and that the Pennsylvania people will still further shorten the running time of their limited trains between Chicago and New York, has stirred up their competitors, and the prospects are that there will be oouie fast ruuning iu this country the coming summer. .

Eastern grain dealers are complaining that Western shippers are too careless in loading cars ■which are in an unclean condition. While it would be a difficult matter for the roads placing tho carson side tracks ami at elevators to clean them of all filth, it would be an easy thing for a shippertosee thateach car, before being loaded, is swept clean ami put in order to carry grain in a cleanly manner, and shippers in so doing would favor the consignee even more than they would the railroad company. The receivers of the Pittsburg & Western road have assumed control of the property. Order No. 2 from the receivers announces their sssumption of authority in the premises, dthe appointment of Thoms M. King as genal manager. Order No. 3 appoints H. D. mpbell treasurer and J. L. Kirk auditor, •der No. 4 is from Auditor King, directing all aeenger, ticket and freight and express agents report to the Pittsburg & Western all business e by them before March 23, and all business ibsequent to that time to the receiver. According to published statistics the amount of .dock coal shipped to Chicago from Clay county during six years show it to rank second m percentages of the total amount of Western coal received, with a yearly average of 17.17 per cent. Owing to a well-organized strike during the months of March, April and May, 1884, the 'receipts from tho block-coal field suffered a severe curtailment, which even subsequent heavy shipments could not wholly counterbalance. The Vr.ndalia company handles by far the greater Amount of all shipments of coal to Chicago. Tho following changes take effect April 1 on tha Western Pullman car service: P. H. Wicks, .of B*. Louis, will be transferred to the position of manager of tho Pullman car Company, headouaiters at Chicago; C. A. Gracelon ■1 resign his position as assistant superinJKdeutnt the Union Depot at St. Louis, to take He position of supeiiutendent at St. Louis, HTbtoh Wicks vacates. The assistant superintendent at Galveston takes the places assuperinl<* .dent at the Union Depot at St. Louis that will be vacated by Garcelon. A. B. Rinnan is to eontinue his duties as assistant superintendent at St Louis. The Louisville, New Albany & Chicago people phave employed competent attorneys to specially adjust All Questions of a legal character pending between the company and claimants —such as •damages from injuries received in accidents, claims for stock killed, and rebates claimed by shippers, itfl being the purpose of tho management to adjust such matters as early as prac.ieal. That the road has suffered in its business. Tom the soreness, so to speak, of such claimants' a undoubtedly true. One of the officers said pthe aim of the present management is to make everybody who is directly or indirectly a patron of the road feel kindly toward the company and interested in its prosperity. I*reUleiit . Vereux’s Report Briefly Stated. A summary of the operations of the Cleveland, Columbus, Cincinnati & Indianapolis road for the year 1884, as compared with 1883, shows a decrease in gross earnings of $530,851.40, or 15122 per cent; a decrease in operating expenses of $261,034.04, or 8.66 per cent; a decrease in set earnings of $269,227.30. or 20.33 per cent; a decrease in tonnage of 180.201 tons, or 7.13 per cent; a decrease in tons one mile of 10,758,072 yiona or, 263 per cent; a decrease of freight ' earnings of $540,843.85. or 17.01 per cent: a decrease in freight expenses of $173,332.81, or 7.78 per cent; a decrease in net freight earnings of $376,511.04, or 44 GO per cent: a decrease in net freight earnings per ton mile of .080 cent, or 43.20 per cent; a decrease in passengers carried of 37,821. or 3.87 per cent; a decrease in local passengers carried of 40,050, or 5.05 xper cent; an increase of through passencarried of 11,238, or 7.41 per cent; ■tecreass in passengers carried one tnile of ■2,007, or 3.15 per cent.; a decrease in pas - Kt earnings of $66,258.81. or f> 80 per cent.; Bbreaso in passenger operating expenses of Kt 01.23, or 11.14 per cent.: a decrease in earn per passenger per mile of .084 ceut, or ii. 79 percent.; a decrease in earnings per local passeugcr per mile of .043 cent, or 1.71 per cent : a decrease in earnings per through passenSr por nHe of .081 cent, or 4.47 per cent.; a crease in cost per pasaengor per mile of .150 cent, or 8.‘25 per cent. Sixty Miles no Hour. A special train over the Pittsburg, Port Wayne & Chicago road on Monday last carried tho Minnie Palmer troupe over a portion of the road at an average speed of sixty miles per boor. The train sheets show that the train, leaving Crestline, made the run to Pittsburg, 190 miles, in exactly five hours and one minute. TO Jack’s Hun. on the Allegheny City line, the USA tour boars and thirty minutes lor 1854

msles. The train had to run much slower from there into the Pittsburg depot. Through Ohio every place where two railroads cross a full stop must be made by trains a given number of feet from the crossing and all of the large towns prohibit fast running; consequently speed must be,diminished. There are twelve stops at such crossings and three towns where speed mast be slackened between Pittsburg and Crestline, and the minutes lost were thirty, so that this quick rate Could have been lowered even an hour, counting the time lost at those places and while coming through Allegheny. The average rate of this special was thirty-eight miles an hour; but the greater portion of the distance was run at the rate or sixty miles an hour, or a mile a minute. Running with a Loose Rein. At the recent meeting of the presidents and managers of the trunk lines in the pool Commissioner Fink read a long address setting forth the benefits which the pooling agreements had conferred on the railroads, and exhibiting statistics to show how small had been the payment of money balances which the roads had been compelled to make in the trunk-line east-bound pool within the last three years. He warmly urged that another attempt should be made to devise means for securing profitable rates to the companies. In commenting on the pool situation the New York Dial, a bear on pools, says: “There is something of the reformed drunkard nature in the trunk-lines pool business. The day after, when the hair pulls, the head aches and the stomach is in a state of revolt, good resolutions galore are the order of the day. It seems to be a continuous ‘day after* with the railroads. Witness the results of the meeting just called by Commissioner Fink, ‘We have all cut rates, and are doing it now. but we won’t do so any more.’ Not till” next time. And the little drop of good resolution is expected to wash away the great sins of the past. Commissioner Fiuk sums up as follows: ‘The Grand Trunk has agreed to remain in the pool until May 1 (thirty days longer) with a view of making satisfactory terms anil rates in the meantime. Mr. Newall, of the Lake Shore, and the Pennsylvania railroad people have consented to this, and I am only waiting now to hear from Mr. Ledyard, of the Michigan Central, and Mr. Caldwell, of the Nickel plate. Both will probably acquiesce.’ Os course they will, but will either of the roads stop cutting rates? Os course they will not. About the most honest feature of this whole pool business is that the very pretense of maintaining rates is not maintained now. The Michigan Ce-ntralis reported as taking wheat at 15 cents per 100 for shipment from Chicago to New York, while the presidents are in session.” Items of Interest to Shippers. The new classification on east-bound freights takes effect April 6. Under this classification grain, now eighth class, takes a special class to be known as class lumber, now tenth class, takes a special class to be known as class eleven; provisions, now seventh class, take a special class to be known as class thirteen. Under the present classification there are but ten classes of freight Under the new there are thirteen classes of freight. On lumber and staves the reduction iu rates known as the summer rates does not take effect until April 6. Heretofore the reduced rates took effect April 1. On and after April 6 the rate on lumber will be on the basis of 30 cents per 100 pounds from Chicago to New York, making the rate from Indianapolis to New York 28 cents. The rate on staves from Chicago to New York will be 25 cents per 100. which makes the rate from Indianapolis to New York 23 cents per 100 pounds. The I. & I. S. Receivership. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. Vincennes, March 26. —Mr. P. H. Blue, an at-torney-at-law of Sullivan, has been appointed receiver of the Indiana & Illinois Southern railroad by the Sullivan Circuit Court, and has given bond. This action has been taken concerning the Indiana division. Two weeks ago Charles H. Steele, of Robinson, 111., was appointed receiver of the Illinois division. The road has always been an eyesore to the inhabitants of the country along the line, for the reason that it has been in br nape generally. The last few mouths the road nas almost been abandoned; the track was condemned as unsafe and dangerous. The receiver now has full power io make the line an acceptable one, and it is hoped by the people who were taxed to aid it in its infancy that it will rise out of its worthless condition and become a valuable acquisition to the country through it runs. The court ordered Receiver Steele to issue certificates to the amount of SIOO,OOO to raise funds for payment on claims against the road. If money is in this way raised in sufficient quantities, and the certificates are negotiated, it is safe to say that it will not be long before the Indiana & Illinois will be put on a paying basis.

Miscellaneous Notes. The stockholders of the Peoria, Decatur & Evansville road hold their annual meeting tomorrow. The Conotton Valley railway has been appraised, preparatory to its sale. The valuation fixed was $948,000. A boom seems to have struck the stock of the Chicago & Eastern Illinois road. It has gaiued ten points this week and is now well on to 70. The bondholders of the Cleveland, Indiana & St Louis are making arrangements to buy the road and to extend it as soon as they acquire possession. The difference between what the Union Pacific railroad owes the United States for 1884 and what the United States owes the Union Pacific for government transportation, etc., for the same year is only $47. The new station of the Northwestern railroad, at Birmingham. England, which was completed and fully opened for passemrer traffic on Feb. 9, it is claimed, is the largest railway station in the world. One thousand men have been employed in it3 construction for two and ono half years. It Has cost in construction $5,000,000, and covers twelve acres of ground. There are tunnels at each end. and through them 400 traius pass each day. The length of the platforms exceeds a mile and a half. The Nickel-plate road has got to pay $540,000 principal and interest on its equipment bonds April 1, and within seventy days all it can earn net in a year. It can only do this by borrowing the money, and therefore the talk of default and foreclosure. The property is said to be in a very bad condition, no money having been spent on it since its completion. It is particularly unfortunate in not having any terminus in Chicago. Under the former arrangement it was to pay $400,000 to the Illinois Central for the use of terminals, but it has never been obliged to pay the Lake Shore anything for the use of its tracks. The Denver papers say that the action of the members At the recent meeting of the Transcontinental Association places the association upon a more stable footing than at any time since its organization. In fact, the Transcontinental Association is now more firmly established, and is working under a closer contract than any other railroad pool in the United States. Composed as it is of all the railroads between the Missouri river and the Pacific coast, it represents several hundred millions of capital, and a yearly revenue running well up into the millions. Ail the managers are more than pleased at the outcome of the meeting, and express themselves as determined to fairly and honorably maintain rates and carry out the letter and spirit of the contract. The Haehls* Domestic Troubles. Agnes M. Haehl has been refused a divorce from William Haehl. There was a habeas corpus issued by the husband to secure the possession of a child. At the trial before Judge Taylor yesterday, the husband, after the dismissal of the divorce suit, took the child out of the court room, and dismissed tho habeas corpus, but the wife called it up and hearing will be had to day.

THE INDIANAPOLIS JOURNAL, FRIDAY", MARCH 27, 1885.

LETTERS FROM THE PEOPLE. What Base Ball Costs. To tho Editor of the Indianapolis Journal: In reading your excellent paper of to-day (March 24) I was attracted to an article on base bail playing by the above heading. In reading the article, lam led to ponder over it a little. In days gone by I have considered base ball playing as a very innocent and healthful exercise, save only the loss of an eye, or a finger and hand. It was not considered a business, nor a pool-selling organization, nor a money-making institution. There were no high fences with gates to bar the way to the play grounds. There was no beer saloon attached, and to play ball on Sunday would have been considered a sacrilege. Now, with all the radieal changes which have taken place in this once innocent recreation, and to be looked at in the light which the article sets it forth, how is it to be regarded? It demands recognition as a lawful and legitimate business from the courts, and no interposition on the part of legislatures or churches. It claims the right-of-way through municipal jurisdictions, cutting down the moral law of God, overriding public sentiment, and arrogantly and boastingiy setting itself up as a brilliant enterprise for making money, and giving circulation to it. It estimates the capital required at $24,000,000; and to put that amount in circulation within the circuit of its operations in the next six months. And now, what is the modus-operandi by which the business of the country is to be enlivened, money made plenty, and base ball playing proved an institution of benefit to the country? There are five associations, named as follows: National, Eastern, Western, Southern and American; each association has eight clubs, making forty clubs; each club is to receive as salary, or in some way, $25,000, and in round numbers $1,000,000. But these clubs will pay out for traveling expenses to railroadssl,000.000; to hotels, none but first class, $2,534,400; add to the last item, for street-car and ’bus rides, enough to make it $3,000,000, and then add the one million paid to railroads, and we have nut in circulation $4,000,000. Bear in mind now, t n this four milions is disbursed, against only no million received as salaries. “Does that end the expenditures!’’ “By no means. Fully two million base-balls are to purchased, averaging 75 cents each,” making $1,500,000. Millions of yards of yarn are to be used. A great industry, giving employment to 500 people. Then there are the bats, the bases, the uniforms, caps and shoes. A peculiar shoe is required, costing $3 per pair. See how the thing swells. The writer adds to his expenditures for the last items $2,000,000 more. We now have, according to Jiis own figures, the amount paid 0ut—57,500,000, and oniy $1,000,000 received for salaries. Now you see what the outlay is. He calls it $8,000,000. But lot us proceed to find out where this money comes from. Are there heavy capitalists in in these associations? “They all expect to make money.” Let us now bring it into financial shape. The writer seems to have jumbled things badly and produced no balance sheet. As it stands, there is paid out $7,500,000; received by the base ball players, $1,000,000, minus $6,500,000. The public who patronize the games contribute $16,000,000, deducting $6,500,000. nnd a elear profit to the five associations is shown of $9,500,000. Truly, this is business. But just where the $24,000,000 is put out by the base ball associations it is difficult to seo. Does it enrich or docs it impoverish? The people have paid out $9,500,000 more than they have received. Who haw got it? A good deal of yarn has been used, but where is the cloth? There has been a great deal of waste, wear and tear of muscle, tut what product have we on the market in return Ibr ail this outlay of money and athletic performances? It looks to me more like an institution or a monopoly ot interests for exacting money from the pockets of the people, than putting money in. As well might the liquor business claim to be legitimate, and as disbursing millions of money among tho poor and laboring classes of tho country. Both are monopolies, and both tend to make the rich richer, and the poor poorer. Neither contribute to tho moral or material interests of the country. Both ought to be branded “anathema.” not entitled to protection of law. but brought under the subjection of law. S. H. Potter. Teuuk Haute, March 25.

Concealed or Doubtful Sex. To the Editor of tho Indianapolis Journal: In regard to Dr. Paccoast’s great operation, the case of Levi Suvdam, related by Dr. Barry, in the American Journal of the Medical Scieucos for July 1847, is of interest In the spring of that year he presented himself as a freeman, to vote in a contested election where his or her vote was to decide the case. Dr. Barry, upon a study of the case, pronounced “it - ’ a male, and entitled to vote. Dr. Ticknor, the medical counsel for the other side, concluded the specimen a female, but ou fuller discussion agreed with Dr. Barry. The family of which Miss or Mr. Levi Suydam was a member, insisted that except clothes, tho voter was a female —but, all the same, bis vote had been accepted. This famous case is written up in detail in all recent works on medical jurispondence—Taylor’s, Woodman’s, Lady s', etc. Among the cases of doubtful or concealed sox is that of Eliza Edwards, who, though a male, passed for a female, and was attended by an emnent physician in bis last illness, who bad no suspicion of the truth. The body was sent to liay’s dissecting-room as a female. Dr. James Barry, late “staff assistant surgeon and inspector of hospitals,” who served many years in the Britism army, and even fought one duel, was an undoubted female These mixed cases, to which your recent editorial has given such prominence, are classed as manly women (androgyme) and as womanish men (androgyni). Lord Coke decided that, according to English law, “they may be either male or female, and shall succeed in inheritance according to the sex which doth appear to prevail.” Whether the estate is entailed on male oron female heirs is, of course, the point involved, and of difficulty. John Hunter, in the Philosophical Transactions, decided a number of these cases, but they were not neglected by the Latin writers as Ovid and Ansonius. This condition, which is exceptional in vertebrates, is the normal condition in many of the lower animals, as some snails und slugs, and all tho intestinal .worms, such as the tape and round-worm, the sexless fish-worm, the freshwater polyp, and many of the lower groups of animals, while conjugation of the reproductive elements is the rule in the vegetable world, rather than the exception. The caso of the freemartin is well known. Whenever twins of apparently opposite sexes are born among our common cattle, the male is always normal, but the cow-calf is sterile, and without productive instinct. It grows larger than either of its parents, and fattens better. Anatomically, it is complex and anomalous, and suggests to the embryologist the early stage of development when there is no differentation of sex. Zoologist. The Question of High License. To tho Editor of the Indianapolis Journal.* Father U. L. See, in the Journal of the 16th inst, in a communication on “High License and City Government,” says: “Not one dealer of intoxicants remains with the Republicans unless it be those who propose to keep respectable ba*s, in a respectable manner, and who see the justice of the demand, and who are themselves advocates of high license, and who are as anxious as any to suppress the low and vile drinking-places which contribute so largely to the oosts and crimes connected with tippling.” Now, does he mean that the costa and crimes connected with tippling are alone contributed by the low and vile drinkingplaces, and none by the “respectable bars,” kept in a “respectable manner?” And those Republican bar keepers who are so anxious to suppress the law and vile drinking places, have they become awakened to the terrible costs and crimes connected with tippling, andas good citizens, resolved to help abate them—standing behind their bars? And, do they propose to sell respectable liquors only, and that are warranted not to contribute to auy of those costs and crimes? In a word, have they been born again, and into the kingdom of Prohibition? It isu’t because they wish to monopolize the profits, is it?

No, no; let us believe they only wish to reform their customers by selling them respectable and the only “Old Dr. Jacob Townsend” anti-rotgut kind of “waskey.” Isn’t that all, thou grand, unselfish souls? Some have almost been led to fear that our grand old party had outlived its usefulness: but, now, shall it propose to solve the great problem that has so long worried the minds of the ancient prohibitionists, by elimininating the “costs and crimes,” and all the other untoid miseries of drunkenness from the land by “respectable” Republican bars, . kept in a “respectable manner?” It must be entitled to a new lease of life. All this work now in our hands (the g. o. p., I mean), how better could the parson aid in the good work than to manipulate one of those “respectable bars;” for would we not have a double assurauco that it would be managed in a “respectable manner?” Besides, he would have the prestige of the parson, who, before engaging in the festivities of a ball-room asked the blessing of heaven upon the company, and for guidance in all they did. Also, during the week, should there be any jar in the machinery, and which might servo as a matter of thought, and for explanation to his people —that could be attended to at his Sunday administrations, and ail things made smooth for the following week’s businesa Yet, in this his new move on the temperance chess board, is there not reason to fear that the great mental effort, in conceiving and bringing it all about, may cause a premature approach into old age, even unto second childhood —if that does not already apjtear —so that, the great work of a lifetime may come to an end,, though; and even should those Philistine Delilas of high license capture him, and do put out his eyes, that he may no longer see the true way to prohibition, let us hope, that, while he may be making sport for its enemies, he may pull their house down upon them and slay more of them at his death than he did in all his life. We’ll See. America Waters Her Desert. To tho Editor of the ludianapolJs Journal: All England is in an uproar and Parliament is in frantic excitement because the British government has bought some Yankee steam-pumps for supplying water to the British army in the Soudtiu. “Buy where youcan buy cheapest and best,” the great English free trade watchword, is thrown to the winds; for “cheapest and best” means something outside of England. “Not a single penny paid by a British tax-payer shoul# be sent out of the country,” say the English newspapers. They call the buying ol the pumps “the American outrage,” and scold the government for its “lack of business capacity” aud its “grandmotherly managing," and say “British taxes are employed to enrich a rival nation, while British artisans lack bread.” In vain does the British government declare that American pumps “cheapest aud best,” and that English pumps won't work satisfactorily, and that English pumps would have imperiled the whole expedition, and would have sacrificed a whole army of brave Englishmen. That makes no difference; the British people, both in the House of Commons and out, want a peremptory stop put to American pumping. Now we know how much their talk about “buying where you can buy cheapert and best” is worth. Meantime, the poor fellows in Soudan are goir.g to have fountains, Laths, rivers, gardens, lakes, all because of a few good American putnps. Stephen Hewitt. Another Finger in tlio Pie. so the Editor of ’he Indianapolis Journal: Why must city buildings be ugly? Tho new depot is to be docked with top-knots in the shape of several ugly wooden pyramids. Pyramids are the ugliest and the cheapest ugly things that can be put on top of a building. Most of our buildings would be more decent looking if their top ornaments could be got rid of. To make a good looking top seems to be beyond the power of our architects. Look at the ugly mass of wood and galvanized iron on the top of the Highschool, and look at tho heavy arch of stone, sustained by little spindling stone door-posts, at tho entrance, and look at the ugly scrip inscription on that arch, which should be the main ornament of the building. Money won’t buy brains nor taste; if it would we would buy some for our city architects. What could have induced one of them to put that big, cheap, ugly, useless pyramid on top of the Public Library? - • _ James Dwight. The State Geologist. To the Editor of the Indianapolis Journal: I was surprised to read from one of your correspondents of yesterday that the professors of Wabash Gollege had filed with the Governor a protest against the appointment of Mr. Maurice Thompson, saying that they “know him to be wholly incapable, unfit and unqualified in the slightest degree to fill the position ho seeks." IP*fairness to Mr. Thompson and the faculty, it should be said that no such document ever went from Wabash College. So far as I know, no professor ever wrote a line concerning the matter, excepting myself, and iu that there was no reference of any kind to Mr. Thompson. John M. Coulter. Crawfordsvillb, Ind.

A SURPRISING CHARGE. With its broad streets and majesty avenues, adorned with stately buildings, Detroit is one of the most magnificent cities on this continent. Its. new system of electric lighting throws into obscurity all the old methods, and leaves ordinary street lamps where dingy tallow dips used to be. The new lights are on light lattice work towers, 125 to 150 feet high, shedding a radiance which is like intensified moonlight. The effect of this when the city is covered with its white robe of 6now, is strangely beautiful. A gentleman recently spent a day or two in Detroit, pushing his researches to some extent in the direction of finding out as to the new method of curing rheumatism by means of Athlophoros, the remedy which in the last year or two has attained such favor as a victor over this old enemy of the human race. Calling on Mr. R. B. Watson, the well-known superintendent of the American District Telegraph Company, he found that gentleman cheerfully ready to say all the pleasant things he could about Athlophoros. “My - wife,” said Mr. Watson, “was suffering terribly from rheumatism; her pains were both in joints and muscles. So excruciating were her agonies when she moved, that sometimes on assuming one position in the morning she would remain m that position all day rather than endure the torment of being moved. I procured a bottle of Athlophoros, and the ©fleet on my wife was as surprising as it was gratifying. Wo had no idea that any medicine could so speedily remove such an obstinate disease. She was soon cured, and the cure was complete. Since that she has had no return of the disorder. We speak freely among our friends of the good work of Athlophoros, and have no hesitation in saying how highly we esteem it.” Visiting nearly all the leading drug stores in the city, it was found that all who had kept Athlophoros had received from their customers mar ted commendation of its efiidhey. One lady had taken six bottles of it with the result of a complete cure.' At Frizelle’s, on Michigan Avenue, one of the clerks had taken :t witli excellent efiect.- This young man, Mr. Cohen, liad suffered greatly with rheumatism. Though surrounded by medicines of every description, they did not reach his case. Mr. Cohen tried Athlophoros, and found that it did for him vliat nothing else had been able to do. From Detroit to Chicago is but a day's ride, and in the latter city Athlophoros lias also accomplished some wonderful results. In Chicago, at 905 West Twelfth street, lives, Mr. William W. Summers, of the TTell-known firm of Summers, Morrison & Cos., commission merchants, 174 South Water street. Air. and Mrs. Summers gave substantially the following facts: “When Robbie was taken sick some weeks ago we thought at first that it was only an ordinary cold, but it proved to be something much more severe. The pains were evidently those of rheumatism. We wrapped the boy in cotton and gave him a number of the remedies such as are generally given. His agony was dreadful. We had to hold him in the bed, his agony was so great. Wc had two physicians, who did not succeed in making him any better. The poor child's torture was so intense that he asked for a pistol, so that he might put himself out of the way and thus end his sufferings. When he was at his worst w.fe thought of Katie Gill, who was well known to us, and the medicine that had cured her. We sent to Mr. Gill’s to know the name of the medicine and where to get it. They happened to have some left in a bottle —Athlophoros the name is—and they kindly sent it to us. It is surely a very strange and powerful medicine, for it stopped the boy's pain very soon and very effectually, ile took but a little of it, for there was only enough for about three doses in the bottle Air. Gill sent us. This was only a few weeks ago. The boy has had no teturn of rheumatism. You see him now as hearty and as happy as any other boy.” If you cannot get Athlophoros or your druggist, we will send It express paid, on receipt of regular price—one dollar perbottle.

After nine months of doctoring with all the remedies to be found in horse books I despairod of a cure. His right hind leg was as large as a man’s body, and had on it over forty running soros. He was a moat pitiable looking object. At last I thought of Hwift’a Specific, and commenced to use it. I used fifteen bottles. In August last all symptoms of the disease disappeared.
