VIRGINIA'S GOVERNOR, tiener-vt I'itlingh lr, Inanffiiratecl fVith (reat Knt1iitiaiit. l:n iiwmi, Va.. Jan. 1. Governor FitzLugli I-e was inducted into oiHce to-day, in the prtH r.ce of tliedeneral Assembly of Virginia, in tlie lall of the House of Delegates, the galleries ;ith1 every Inch of available standi. r,' n- i i Wing occupied with interested Sit tutors, iucludingr ntany ladies. The rotur.ii.i a.j. roaches thereto were also crowded it!i j-i ople, all striving to Rain adruissic. t. t!ie hall or to catch a glimpse of the net Governor as he passed. At noon the Sin-aUer called, the House to order, and the rwe'ti:r, were opened with prayar, by Mg!it I'ev. Ir. A. M. Ilandolph, Bishop of tlie i:picoj-al t hurch. Then the Senate tiled i.i ly twos and took seats assigned them. TU Seaker then called the Joint Coiirention to order, and named Delegates A. Fulkerw.n and 1!. M. Stibling and Senator Taylor Berry as a committee to natify tioren.or l.ee tiiat the General Assembly wra.s ready to receive him. In a few minutes ' loud clieerin on the outside announced the approach of the uberpatorinl party, and soon afterward ifver.nor l.ee, arm in arm with the retiring I'.xecutive, Governor Cameron, entere.! the luii i. followed by a number of ladies und geutietiien. including Hon. John V. lassey. Lieutenant (Jovernor-elect, and Mr. ;ener.l l.f. w iteof the lovernor. The ap1earar f ol' th party was the signal for a erf t ovation of enthusiastic apolane, which .ntiuiied for several minute. The two (.i'ver!ior were escorted to the Speaker's platform, where Hon. L. L. Lewis, President of the Supreme Court of Appeals of Virginia, administered the oath ot office to the new (lovemor and Lieutenant Governor. At the conclusion of this ceremony the joint convent ion was dissolved and the House took a recess for ritteen minutes. Congratulations and hand-shaking then became the Drtlerof t!.e day, the Governor descending to the floor and meeting friends and strangers alike, with a pleasant word for each. A noticeable incident to the ceremony was the almost total absence of colored people in the Lall. Only two colored delegates were present, and a colored man wearjn the hsdiie of the Joel Parker Association, of Newark. X. J. The latter joined in the stream of visitors who passed by the Governor and congratulated him. He extended his hand to the Governor, and, with a smiie mon his face, said: "Governor, let me congratulate you." Governor Lee looked at him, and breaking out into a laugh, exclaimed: "My friend, don't you think the country h sale now?" The "colored man laughingly replied: "Governor, I believe it is." It wn an amusing incident, and no one enjoyed it more than Governor Lee. -Captain 1'. M. Hayes, of the Fifth l'oited States Cavalry, who was the bosom friend and companion of Governor Lee when the latter v. a a Lieutenant in the regiment Ixfore the war, and who came ail the way from the Indian Territory to be present at the inauguration, was among the crowd, and when Governor Lee spied him. he hailed the Captain with, "Hello, Jack! How are you to-day?" to which Captain Hayes answered: "Very well, Fitz; allow me to congratulate you," and a warn and cordial grasp of tlie hand followed. .Alter t!:ea-iuh!are had dispersed Governor Ie proceeded to the Gubernatorial office in the Capitol, where the retiring Governor turned the oüce over to him. Kx-Governor reception and was greeted by many of those Cameron remained in the hall during the present. The Inaugural Dall occurred at Armory JIall tlm evening. Tlie ceremony of receiving occupied till midnight, when the ban queting and dancing began. It was the most lnilia:it a::air in the history of the old commonweal tu. The leauty and chivalry of 3lichmord a;id other cities were fuily repre sented.

(New York Siin.l "Come here aai see the picture I have found," called a sweet, positive voice; 'just here now, is not that good? Color, figure and suggestion all so harmonious." and the little lady, herself a eissonier for diminu tive size and exquisite finish, commanded to her side all but the one she considerel "picture-like." She was required not to move. while the rest, grouped by the curtained en trance of the great drawing room, made their affectionately admiring comments on one of tho.e happy accidents which sometimes outdo the best efforts of skilled "compositions." All the guests bad left, except one, who was not to return for some days yet to her country home, and now. the family alone, the most pleasant part of each one's evening had been told over and resulted in a whole of entire satisfaction with the dinner as a success. The foreign travelers for whom it had been made were honestly delighted; a man whose own charming dinners gave him a right to be. fastidious had been equally pleased, and the lovely girl bad felt she was lovely and ound so. and the young host and hostess 'rankly said they had forprotten they were at ionic, and found all as delightful as though they were guests and in no way resjonsible. Iuite the best of a home party i the tailing it over after it has proved a succes, and so there followed a pleased talk which led on into the night. The hi use was all hushed ; the servants had put out the larger lights, leaving only some shaded lamps. These touched u; softly beautiful ejects made by artistic furniture, pictures, bronzes and china aud some admirable tapestries everything that large and cultivated taste can bring together. A seme of space and depth was gived by large mirrors, but these were so masked by plants ami ilraieries as to le unobtrusive and only do their duty of repeating and blending ail this in irregular chaanins vistas. Thus repeated ami softened was "the picture:" a low sofa with gold-fringed dark velvet and tall palms stretching their fanlike boughs above it; on the low table beside it, rising from a mass of hyacinths and roses was a porcelain lamp, whose shaded slobe made a center of tender light in the rich gloom of the noble room. On this sofa their cherished friend, "Ma Keine," as it pleased them to call her, was half lying, the elbow resting on the cushions and the head upon the hand. Head drooped, and cheek upon the hand Thoughtful she was. and somewhat sad." The dark velvet, the green canopy of the palms, the soft, falling dress of black satin harmonized with the silver hair and "aesthetically white" face, now for a moment re stored to color and youth by the tiesh tint of silk lamp shade. "Don't move. Iet me get the tones of that light thrown up against the green and down Uon Ma Keine s glistening hair." The Meissonier paints, and paints well. Herdelight in this unpremeditated tableau was that of the artist as weli as of a loving friend, and she peremptorily asserted no one should move; that all were fresh and amused, and "the right kind of a da v never began any way until near midnight." The Meissoniers fortunate owner put himself into a luxurious cavern of a chair, asked permission ( ?) and became completely content as the thin smoke curled from his lips. Presently, "What changed your expression and pat you to thinking when Bessie said you were already a series of pictures to her?" This observing man has nearly the second sight. It is as well to tell him what he perceives. Ma Reine answered that the word "a series of pictures" brought back a strange superstition which for years haxl had part in her life. "This is just the time for telling it," joyfully exclaimed the little woman, curling herself into a ball of comfort a downy white ball of white stuffs and lace and satin ribbons, surmounted by the brown head with frank, brown eyes, "Oh, this is delightful. I begin to feel creepy (neMling into more comtort). Now begin."" Ma Heine's low Southern voice began: "Once upon a time I was young. Something, just as in a fairr tale had quite suddenly rubbed out all need to wait, to think or plan, or to make any effort; but we had only to wish, and our wishes came true. And it was we that made it a good fairy tale, because for a long time she' sat aione in her tower, while he' was away in danger and hardships and loneliness. "Then came this sudden and great change, and it was so like a fairy tale that we went off to a far country, where we need not be reasonable, but just let our fancies guide us. "For a long, happy year we stayed there. On the map it has another name, and to most people it is only Pans, but for that year it was to us 'fairy land.' "We were young; we had such perfection of health as is given to few; we were not bad to look at, and we had but to wish and every wish was filled. I think we had not one drawback. "We lived quite apart in a small chateau in its own ground on the Flysian Fields, and for a long time we keep tree from visit making none and risking no break in this Ideal existence. We did not need people o many noble pleasures were open without them. "In such dream-like life it was natural that even dreams should become beautiful, and in those days this dream came to me: An album-like book was given to me and in the formless, voiceless manner of dreams I was informed that In that was pictured my future life. The curlier pages were blank. All that, about a fourth ot the book, being known to me those leaves were untouched. Not every page, but here and there at irregular intervals, a water color would fill a page. This, I understand, portrayed some scene to come. Fach was so stamped into my brain that I could have reproduced them with the brush had I been an artist; to my own people I did in the telling and writing of them. They were so distinct and beautiful that no detail has left my memory yet. Two were of public and national importance, and were made real by events most nnforseen and unlikely; and no one, altogether personal, was equally the foreshadowing of a crisis in my lixe, There wc:? other, gentle an eqcoumj-

in but the' I ast pictu re ' t a- 4he a! burn iruj retire 1 tue most because it iu the last. "And after three of these had oeen verified by living facts, do you wonder I gave faith to thia closing scene? "It was a room in a country house which, as Hood pays of his 'Haunted Houe,' 'ww but a habitation, not a borne;' but house, room, and all accessories were Iloglish, in the country, and not modern. "A plain, square room with two windows, having a tal! mantelpiece of wood, where, ou the bricked hear li. a small tire burned; between the uncurtained windows was a h-jt id-looking dark wood dressing bureau with a l jugish narrow mirror swinging between two carved supports. A bedstead of dark wood with tall, carved posts, the squire frame connecting them having a frill of light certain stulf attached, and the same about the lower part of the bed. A white coverlet wad spread quite and over the bed, which was soft and yielding, and gave only in partial reiief the long, straight, still figure which lay under the cover. 'One Land hail been uncovered and lay, tir? and ivory white, near the head of a man kneeling beside the bed, hi head clinched between bis own hands and sunk in the yielding surface ot the bed. "What was straugf, the same man in each form, on.y tue back was shown stood by the tnantiepiece. his head bowed upon one arm, which rested upon it, while the other arm hung listlessly, wearily. His form expressed exhaustion, but without strtiigle; not resignation, but submission. "From the window could be seen an avenue oftrees. wind swept and ragged, leading to water fitfully shown by moonlight struggling with black ciouds. "ihe room was in dim fire and candle rght. 'That was all. "Hut so vividly did it impress us that tor years, when traveling in places likely to have such a room or such a view, we turned from any joint recalling thisdieam picture.

"Once in tlie Austrian lyrol we found so charming an inn rear a small lake that we would go no further. Everything there pleased vs. Enough rooms eould not be ready until later, but one was given us mean time and f good breaklast, and we went oil for a lone sunny dav; some to climb the cla cier topjed mountain, some to idie in a boat on the still, blue lake, and the clever one to be set ashore with sketching traps each to follow their own will, and meet for the late dinner. Our rooms were ready then, and mine was a delight from its profusion of carved oak furniture. "l'.ut that dream picture has become a familv superstition, and when one of us saw a line of wind-broken trees leading to the lake, and combined that with the carved bedstead, no reasoning would have gotten iue permission to stay in that room. "I took another, much less fue, to the bewihlermentof the landlady; but we hit upon the idt-a of sayiu it was a vow I had to fulfil!, not to sleep in a bed of that sort. ' It was ju.-; after this Tyrol episode that, retuniinu to America, I went for a few days to Am up Tns old American citv is so ditterti.i iiiny new towns, it is smh a bii oi e left us from colonial days, th:t 1 1 . ! a bath oT repose go there. 1 mice imuiij architect there, ta make useful . lies for his orders tor country seats; L..t bis patrons had more money than taste or knowledge, there is a whole 'Queen Anne' town, and real Elizabethan mansions of rich red brick, brought over in fjueen Anne's day the btick now mellov. d to softest tones, and aU embroidered 1 y weatherstains. while whole gables are deh-e walls of century-old ivy; avenues of lxr. :ardy poplars have been changed into hu?e umiishy the ivy which has strangled and si- tided them; while the large old court-! r.se, too respectable to be called to ac unt for its sins of architecture, enshri. s fragments of our early history v '.ich bring emotion to even a blae r nd; the desk by which Washington stood v -.en he made his renunciation of power, .'nd on which he rested hts- hand, when, m lent from feeling, he could not resjond to the heartfelt words of praise given 1 im by the presiding oiiicer, and caused that oöicial to say these other true words: 'There is no need for you to Sfveak, Mr. Washington; we all know your modesty is only equaled by your bravery.' Above this bit of memorable mahogaay are their two battle flags, placed there by Washington and Iifayette our modest little thirteen stars, new bom and friendless, crossed by the historic royal white field and gold lilies of the Üourbons. "Queen Anne herself gave to the old church its fine communion service and the chime of bells, which still tell in silvery sweet tones the uneventful hours of a town 'I'u.ished a hundred years ago,' and whose profound quiet of stagnation makes Annapolis un-American. "Always on other visits I had gone to a delightfully well-kept, quiet bouse, where my Secial midshipman could bring classmates and have the feeling of being out of bounds. The Naval Academy is every way more considerate for youth than the obsolete exactions of West Point, where no retum to family life is permitted the cadet. "This time, going with my usual certainty, I found the house closed, because of a death in the family; but Mrs. G. bad sent a servant to the station to take me to the best quarters she could substitute. "There my young people met, and as my room was not quite ready we kept at table, and afterwards in the cheerful, warm parlor, until it was time for them to rush back to the Yard before the gates closed. 'I was tired and quickly ready for rest. The room, too, was not warm. Only an intended lire of green wood smoldered in the large fireplace, and the two candles gave but little light. There was no fire at all in the small room owning from mine, where my maid was to sleep, and when 1 was undressed she wrapped herself in a warm plaid and asked permission to stay in my room and finish something she was reading, as she was not sleepy. I was glad to keep her, for I felt upset, and I always liked her about me. Some people have the property of soothing, as others have the quality of rumpling, all one's feelings. In all the long time my poor Sarah was with me she fitted in harmoniously. "This night I was not myself. II had been a shock to find what sorrow had come to Mrs. :.'s family. I was 'out of my bearings,' and Annapelis was having the unusual exjierience of a snow storm, and the chill, damp-penetrated bouses only prepared for mild winters. The snow was over, but black masses of cloud contended with a cold moon. I could not warm, even in bed, but lay awake, idly watching through the uncurtained windows the hurrying clouds and the wind-tossed trees, Sarah- in the red Scotch rug was a comfortable object; the dark wood of the tall bureau between the windows made a good background for this patch of color. She had coaxed the firs until at lat some life had come to it, and as it sent tip reore light I noticed the very handsome carving of the high bedposts. "Quick as a lightning flash it all came back to me! "Every detail was there. The furniture, identical in shape and hangings, the high wooden mantelpiece, the window looking down a ragged avenue to water the Chesapeake Pay lay at the foot of the slope only I was alone and Um figures of the two men were wanting. "With one spring I was out of that bed and holding on to the startled Sarah. "Sarah,' I said. This is the room I am to die in.' "She had traveled with us and knew the story. "One wild look of recognition, and Sarah fainted away. Habit, stronger than this horror, sent a last thought for my comfort. " 'Your'ein your bare feet," and a mutter about 'taking cold' (as though that mattered when one was about to die.) " "I laid her on the red rug, and from the traveling bag got the little brandy flask, but it was long before 6he roused fully. "We kept very qujet, for we had been told there was a very young-baby in a room near. Hut we made ready for the worst. We put out one Candle to make our lights last: we

dr cssed atATwrpi; on fcur wraps.,-1 wrote a long letter of fareweM to tuy home people actually I did; and I cried pieotifully as I wrote. Sarah held on to me crying softly and saying continuous prayers; letting her beads with some trouble, as she would not let go my gown, or, wbeu I stopped writing, my baud. " It was all very real, and aa terrible as reality la. us, and 1 had no more reason that night thM my good, affectionate, unlearned maid. We were just two women, scared. With the day and the eua Cime a a clearer head. "liut I cut my visit 6hort and wnt home by the first train, after seeiug my midshipman. 1 could laugh (a little I. but he, having tnown up to this story, bad respect for it. " You must get out of this fast as you can. ai.d say notliiug about it, but you csn't May here another niht, anl there is m other place.' " "My home ieople did not laugh at me. We all had a sort of emile a wet variety, however as the night of terror was told over. The good of it was that the dream had been met face to face aai was over and exploded.

"JLat ghost was laid. "Afterward I iearned Lad the usual modern Mrs. G. sent for a room sire to treat me well. that that room had furniture, but when, for me, in their de-thi.-t family had removed what was in the place, and taken much trouble to 6et up these hand.sotue mahogany things belonging to their grandfather, a Welshman, leng since dead, who bad brought it from England. "From that came the delay in showing me to my room until it was late, and I hurrying to get to sleep; otherwise I must have noticed it, and I should have gone down to the Yard and asked hospitality from some of the officers' families. '1 am all one shiver and creep," said the little kind-hearted Meissonier, "and you really never screamed?" Much smoke was coming from the disciple of St. Thomas. He is clear and logical, and without pity in overthrowing beliefs, only bis lexicon does not contain that word for belief he reads proof. But be is wi-e and practiced, and most kind in the care of jangled nerves and troubled breath. He knew this was bo case of dyspepsia nor morbid dwelling on a fancy. He looked and puttied: "Ob, ishaw! we have to be up and at it again to-morrow, and it's too late now to think. You have talked yourself wideawake, and must have a little bromide and so must you," to his wife. . "Iut the two men?" she insisted, like a child who goes on questioning down into the bottom of its stories "the me:i wore not there. And two men who are the same is something too, too dreamy." Ma Peine hesitated, and then, "they would come after . And have you not told me that when they are together, seeing only the back, you could not teU faier and son apart?" All were standing, about to separate for what was left of the night. "My story is not quite finished." she said. "Just a little more. You know why. for reasons of health, I had to look up a place inland and in the mountain air for the winter months; that I was so pleased with all the advantages of the place I did take that, going over it with the owner, I was satisfied and decided on a rapid inspection; and you know it has proved as health-giving is we boned. "The house is large and oddly built. There are many more rooms than we can use. Only after we'were installed did I go thoroughly through them. We do not' use the third llcor, but it has a large room looking east, of which 1 had the shutters fastened back to let in the morning sun always. "From this window is a view to near hills, at whose feet runs a rapid mountain river. which in high waters is out ever in the meadows, gleaming blue and lake-like. The road leading to the river is bordered by a double line of tall old locust, trees. Find me any tree more brittle and ragged than old locust trees! "In that room is a verv fine, handsomely can ed old bedstead of mafioganv. The posts have been sawed o!f part way. but the remainder of these carved tosts, with the connecting frame for the top, are in a lumber room above the carriage-house. The bureau is of dark mahogany, with a long, narrow mirror between supports. The properties are again grouped, and the father and son, whose ngures are so alike, are both there. The whole country-side keeps the stamp of its early colonial l-.ngusli settlement, the very name of our way station is from an English familv of that date. - "And," she said, "I must go back there." "Come," said Sir Thomas, abruptly. "Charley, will von put out the lights?" . j ui is me siorv nnisnea. The lllackHtiiith Congressman. I heard a couple of good stories about a young California Congressman named Louttit, writes "larp." Louttit is a young lawyer at present, and his father was a blacksmith, and he worked himself for a number of years at the blacksmith's trade. While blacksmitmng he educated himself, and is now considered one of the brightest men in California. During the last, campaign a county newspaper in his district made the statement that I.outtit was not fit to go to Congress to represent a district so high-toned and aristocratic i s the one in which he was running. "His father was a blacksmith and himself a blacksmith," said the newspaper, and he had better be at the anvil than on the stump." Shortly afterward Louttit came to tl. is county seat to speak. In his speech he I- ferred to the above paragraph, saying, as l e held out his sinewy, muscular right arh: "It's true my father was a blacksmith; 1 ai not ashamed of that. It is true, also, tha 1 was a blacksmith, and if I find that little rascal who wrote that editorial paragraph, I will let him know that I still possess a blacksmith's arm." This remark is said to have brought down the house. Louttit is rather rough in his ways, and during the past Congressional campaign he did not always dress in the latest style. At one time, dusty and dirty from travel, he entered a fine restauraat and sat down to order dinner. The keeper of the restaurant came to him and said : "See here, my man, I want you to look at our charges, and if you have net enough to pay for what you want to eat, don't order it.". And with that he. laid down a bill of fare where porter-house steaks were marked a dollar and coffee was twenty-five cents a cup, before hinf. Louttit looked at the bill with a curious glance, and then at the restaurant-keeper, and said: "I guess I can pay for anything I want on this bill, and have a half a dollar, and maybe two, to spare." At this moment one of the leading citizens of the town came in, and rushed up to Ixmttit, saying: "How do you do, Congressman, and how .a your familv?" The restaurant-keeper was dumbfounded. He tried to apologize, but was so confused that he stammered and failed, and finally left the room to give orders to the cook that the rough codger in the dirty clothes should have the best in the shop, and the oldest of wines were to be opened for his benefit. "I have both used and sold Prickly Ash Pitters for a number of years, and think it the best bitters made for billiousne3s, liver complaints and for toning up the system," so writes W.U. Cole, druggist, of Joplin, Mo. A single trial of this remedy will con vince any person of the truth of the above.

Ya., have ajain brought themselves into prominence. Scarcely a year passes but that some member of the family makes a splash in social or sensational circles, or else an event occurs to bring their name into print. Ella, the eldest, first fought her way to fame by marrying Senator Sprague after the separation between him and Kate Chase, daughter of the late Chief Justice. Only a short time ago a younger sister made a complicated family knot by marrying Sprague's son, thus becoming the stepdaughter of ber sister. And recently a younger sister still has earned a sensational record at home by jilting a young man of means and eloping with a book agent. There seems to be a bewitching fascination about these Weeds, who have been reared humbly, as the daughters of a poor village mechanic Each has won the love of many men even to crazy infatuation which has resulted in doom. Klla first married Frank W. Calvert, a traveling salesman for a Cincinnati firm. He met her at home when she was a gay younjr girl ready to flirt, like most village maidens, with the festive drummer. The flirtation became infatuation with Calvert, and he married her within a year. His home was at Portsmouth, where he had a farm and business interests. His brother was also his partner and Probate Judse. Calvert would not give up the road, and kept his young, ambitious wife cooped up in the Biggs House while he was scouting through his territory. The resnilt may be imagined. The woman v;os thrown among hotel guests drummers, lae her husband and his visits home were sometimes scenes of painful jealousy. In time they parted. Kind-hearted Calvert permitted her to get a divorce, although he loved her madly, io save ner reputation ne was route. When the tie was severed lie went to Cincinnati, made his headquarters at a hotel, and continued his trips. He never met his wife again, but kept her picture constantly w ith him. Over a year ago he died suddenly of heart troubles, before any friends or relatives could be summoned. He was buried at Portsmouth. When bis divorced wife married Senator Snrague and went to Europe, Calvert read it in a newspaper while in some interior Ohio town. A traveling friend who was with him relates how he was affected, and some think dissipation, coupled with his broodin, killed him. The

AKT NOW AfiOTHKK SIFTER. who recently spent several weeks in this city wilh her book asent liusnand, has kept up the family record by an elopement and marriage Contrary to the family wisiies. Iler first love affair was with a young lawyer, who became furiously tersisteitt. His courtship was so suHjmed that she, tired of it. enraged him with jealousy. She refu-ed him several times, promised to be "always" a friend, and kept him a.s an adorer while loving another. One day she went with him for a drive, ljite at night she came into town, her bat gone, driving the horse furiously, w hile in the buggy was the apparently dead body of her lover. In the buggy was a pistol from which a ball had Inen fired through bii brea.-t. It was id summer, and ber white dres. was btreaked and soaking with his blood. Her frantic condition and crifs lor a doctor arouse I public indiguation and suspicion against her. Bdt the dctors foupd the young man's wound serious, but not fatal. She was arrested, but when be recovered his speech and blamed bimsctf for tlie hooting she was released in Laste. She said, as be also stated, that be had made another proposal of marriage, which she refused. He then shot himself without a word. The horse, frightened bv the report, hurried them home, and pjrwnted death from loss of blood. Kot even this display of devotion warmed tier heart, and bhe refused him when lie recovered. Then be was bound to die, and one day carried a chair to the raihoid track and sat in it waiting for the lightning express to scoop him into glory. But friends prevented such a scatter of lave-sick tissues, and to-day be lives, sadder and soaiewhat redeemed. The Jew ixoksel:er who laid beige to her heart won it by eculiar tactics known, perhajts. only to book-agents. She left home, and now goes with him through the country as she persuade the unwary to subscribe. All three girls are pretty brunettes, with a very subtle fascination 'which is easier felt than understood.

The hilling so outraged the owner of the ranch that he deliliertcly shot the two peons in charge of ihe flock.

KOT I3E DORSET 07 "SOAP" FAUX. Nearly every one who trarelj on the toats of the Louisville and JefTersonville Iferry Company is acquainted with Mr. J. C. Dorsey, the superintendent of the com pany, to whom much of its success is due. 7 Air. Dnrsev li.iü a rdeasant familv and J a comfortable home on Wall St. near Chest1 nut, JefTersonville, Ind., the happiness of which, however, baa been somewnat diturbed by sickness. Mrs. Dorsey has been a severe sufferer from rheumatism, and neuralgia in the face has at time3 made Mr. Dorsey's life a burden. They arc Loth in the best of health, however, and attribute this to Athlophoros, a remedy rhich has done for them all that is claimed for it in the matter of curing rheumatism and neuralgia. The story of bow they were restored to health by this wonderful medicine was thus told by Mrs. Dorsey to one who called upon her to learn Iter experience and that of her husband with Athlophoros : I was afflicted with a very serious rheumatism last winter. It was principally in the arms, and I was suflering the most intense pain one Saturday evening when my husband came home. I said to him : "'I don't Ree how I can endure thi pain much longer. It seems as if it were eating my bones.' " Well, never mind," said my husband, " I have a bottle of the King cure," at the same time bringing forth a bottle of Athlophoros, I took my first dose at once. That was about six o'clock. In less than two hours the pain was very much reduced, and I felt comfortable in comparison with the suffering I had endured. I had auch quick relief from the first dose that I got in a hurry and did not wait three hours as I should have according to the directions, but took the second dose at the end of two hours. The medicine was so powerful that it made me quite sick all the next day, but as ßoon as the bad feelings were gone I found that my rheumatism had gone with them, and I hve never had any rheumatic pain since." t How long ago was this, Mrs. Dorsey?'' " It was the middle of last winter." "How did you first hear about Athlophoros ?" "It was by accident I might say, that I first heard of it. While I was afflicted by rheumatism my husband was suffering with neuralgia in his face, which had become very much swollen. On the morning of the Saturday which I have mentioned, Mr. Tyler, of Utica, was crossing on the ferryboat and noticed that Mr. Dorsey'a face was swollen. Mr. Tyler asking him what the trouble was, my husband told him that it was neuralgia. "Mr. Tyler then said : . "'Iknowof a valuable medicine that will cure you. "If it doesn't, why then I will pay for it.' He then mentioned Athlophoros to my husband, who took down the name and on his way homestoppedatastoreand bought Borne. At the time he did not think of it as a remedy for my rheumatism, but 6eeing bv the urinted directions that it was for rheumatism as well as for neuralgia; be offered it to me when he came in and found me in so much pain." " Did it cure Mr. Dorsey'a neuralgia?'' was asked. . , 44 Yes, the pain and swelling soon left and he has not been troubled with them since." .
