A MINNEAPOLIS MIRACLE. The Remarkable Cure of J. B. White of This City. A Cripple for Two Tears, Pronounced Incurable by Physicians and Giren np by His Friends to Die. Host He Obtained Belief and Became a well fllan—Hie Daughter’* Jlarreloue Gare.

(From the Minneapolis Journal.) "Precious is the panacea that cures when hope Is gbne and medical advice pronounces the death sentence—‘incurable.’. How terrible it is to think of leaving this sweet life before the allotted years of man’s time here on earth are spent.” Thus spoke J. B. White, of 1201,3d Street, N. £.. last night to a Journal reporter. Mr. White has been much talked about of late, and the following explains why: “I am a native of Shedlac, New Brhnswick, and of French descent. J have been in Minneapolis for many years. I am now 60 years old. I fell from a building two years ago and broke my thigh besides injuring myself internally, The doctors could do nothing for me but let the bones grow together ns best they could. When I was able to walk on crutches I came near dying from the complication of troubles that had set in after the fall. For one vear and a half I walked on crutches, striving in vain to find some relief from the misery I felt night and day. The worst part of my afflictions was that I could not eat anything. If I could have taken nourishment and kept it down I could have stood the pain better. I had four doctors, and kept taking alt sorts of medicines. I had to stop all of them or I would have been a dead man. I have enough bottles left to: start a drug store. I would be troubled so with headaches, and my hips would pain me so that I often thought I should go crazy. I was so emaciated that there was nothing to me but skin and bone. Last summer I felt as if I was nearly dead. My kidneys then began to bother me. I got so I could not sleep only at intervals. Finally I gave up in despair. One day I was sitting out on the porch. It was a beautiful, sunny day. The singing of birds and the odor of flowers set me to thinking of my childhood days. From that my thougnts reverted to the little French weekly paper, Le Mouiteur Acadian, that we got, and I thought I would like to read and see how tilings were at my old home. I told my wife to give me the last number. She brought me the one that came that morning. The first, thing I saw was a long article about the miraculous cure of a cripple. I read on and on becoming more interested than ever. The patient described in the article said that Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills for Pale People cured him and they would cure others. The story aroused my interest and I induced jny druggist to send for them. I did hot expect reliefright away, but soon they made the headache pass away. After taking them some days I .could eat. People laughed at me when I began to take the pills telling me I was taking so much candy. But the day that I threw, away the crutches they thought different. 1 am now well and hearty as a young man of 25.” , At this juncture his married daughter, Mrs. N. White, came into the store. “There,” said be, “is another case. She has tried them too," The reporter thought it would be a good idea to speak of her case. also, since it was a woman’s. Mrs. White married a man of the same name as herj father, so| this accounts for the same name. “The doctors.” she satd, “told me I had uterine trouble. 1 was in a miserable condition. Nothing that I took could alleviate the pains 1 would feel in my limbs and abdomen. 1 often had fluttering of the heart, and freSuent weak spells. 1 would eat butit would o me no good. 1 could not sleep. I was in misery and despair. My father took Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills, and his improvement was so rapid that. I thought I would take them too. At first I felt worse, and then I began to mend so rapidly that I was astonished. 1 have taken seven boxes and am now nearly well. I can do my own work and can sleep and eat well. In the morningB I feel refreshed after a night’s rest.” August Grotefend, who keeps the Germania drug store, at 1011 Main Street. N. E.,icorrobrated what Mr. White had said .above in regard to his condition, saying, “1 have sold a great many since these cures. Some ofthc lumbermen going in the woods have taken half dozen box lots of these pills with them. They certainly have done a wonderful lot of good and should have the entire credit of the cures.” On inquiry The Journal reporter found that these pills are now on sale at the various wholesale drug houses of Minneapolis and St. Paul and are meeting with a good sale, but not as fast as they will as soon as their merits are fully known. He also found that they were manufactured by Dr. Williams’ Medicine company, Schenectady, New York, and Brockvilie, Ontario, and the pills are sold in boxes (hever in bulk by the hundred) at 51) cents a box or six boxes for S2.50. Dr. Williams' Pink Pills are a perfect blood builder and nerve restorer curing such diseases as rheumatism, neuralgia, partial paralysis, locomotor ataxia, St, Vitus’ dance, uervous headache, nervous prostration and the tired feeling therefrom, the after effects of la grippe, influenza and severe colds, diseases depending on humors in the blood, such as scrofula, chronic erysipelas, etc Pink Pills give a healthy glow to pale and sallow complexions and are a specific tor the troubles peculiar to the female system; In men they effect a radical cure all cases arising from mental worry, overwork or excesses of uny nature.

The Libby Prison War Ma. earn. Of the many attractions outside the World’s fair in Chicago, there are but few in there is much interest centered as there is in the Libby Piison war Museun. lu 1889 this celebrated prison was removed from Richmond to Chicago and converted into a war museum. The project was undertaken by a syndicate of the best known businessmen of whoso enterprise conceived a commercial spirit but has attained as this was never before heard of They moved a brick and stone building the size of Libby more than a thousand miles, across rivers, mountains, was an enterprise that many of the best known contractors in the the west refused to undertake at any price. But the move was made with success. Then the famous old structure was filled with war material that represents the work of a lifetime and the expenditure of half a million dollars. The great collection is conceded to be second to none in the country and includes much of the most valuable material that the greatest civil war the world has ever known has left to posterity. The collection includes thousands and thousands of relics of every description, many of which form important inks in the history of the nation. The old building itself is fraught with interesting memories and the story of the celebrated tunnel escape of February 9, 1864, (never fails to interest the visitors. One hundred and nine Union soldiers made their escape through that tunnel, which formed one of the mesUbilling events of the war.

Dixon and Ingalls. Her. Thomas Dixon has a lecture on the negro that h^often delivers on account of Its great popularity. Some time ago he was called upon to lecture "at Berlin Falls in New Hampshire. His audience wasa huge one, but hugely Republican in its politics. The tall young preacher tells this story of himself to illustrate the power of antithesis, a figure of speech he is very fond of employing in his lectures and sermonst Said he: “The audience was with me from the beginning, but I had a long quotation in my lecture from Senator John J. Ingalls’ speech in the senate on the race question three or four years sgo. Ingalls said some very bitter things shout the negro in his speech, and the quotation was oneof them. I delivered Mr. Ingalls’ words with all the effect I could possibly give them. The audience, which up to this time had been so responsive, had become silent, but one great, stout ijllow, over 6 feet, rose from his seat. Hi&ace was livid; his eyes fairly gleamed with anger as hestood there shaking his brawny fist in my face. He was speechless, bnt he looked like a man that meruit business, and the whole audience seemed half alarmed. * “When I had finished these severely unkind wards about the negro from Mr. Ingalls’ speech, I quietly announced that ‘these are th» words of your own Republican Benator, John J. Ingalls.’ The audience now leaped to its feet, and the outbursts of applause and derisive laughter fairly o^rwhelmed the indignant man on his feet. “This man was stopping at the same hotel with me, and next morning at the breakfast table he sat just opposite me. He was then another sort of looking map, for he seemed to be shy and ashamed and also anxious to speak, but he did not know Just how to strike upaconversation. Presently he commenced to pile the dishes near by around my plate in a nervous fashion. At last I spoke to him, and he took me in the comer and apologized for all he waa worth.” | —New York Evening Telegram. Why Girls Uke a College Dance. A college dance is generally considered by young lames to be very good fun. There is an adventurous zest In journeying to a col-' lege and exploring it and meeting crowds of people you never saw before, and there 1b something wild and reckless in being quartered in an odd little boarding house, or more delicious still in some room in university hall borrowed by your entertainer for the occasion, with the owner’s photographs and souvenirs hanging about just as ha left

them. Then, too, the young men themselves, some of whom you have met or heard of before, try to be very agreeable - and do everything in their power to make you have a good time, if for no other reason, in order that you may see how superior their college is to any other, so that even soveml seasoned society girls consider It worth their while to run down to a college dance and be amused'by these fresh faced young fellows. Some of them have been coming off and on for several generations of college men and could talk interestingly of your brother in the class of ’88 should they be so inclined. They know all about these hops. —Harper’s Bazar. The Judgment of Years. A significant bit of wisdom, to lie pondered over by the very young, whose griefs and disappointments seem so tragic, was that uttered by Mrs. Dolly Madison, when she was over 80 years old and near her death. Her life had been fortunate and beautiful, not only because circumstances had proved kind to her, bat from the brightness and buoyancy of her temperament. She harbored no bitterness over past experiences, bat life bad taught her the unimportance of most trials which loom so gigantic in approaching. Not long before her death one of her nieces went to her for sympathy in some slight trouble. “My dear,” she said, “do not trouble about it. There Is nothing in this world really worth caring for. Yes,” she repeated, looking intently oat of a window. “1 who have lived SO long repeat to you* that there is nothing in this world below really worth caring fori”—Youth’s Companion. Death From Fright. “I have interested myself somewhat In looking np unusual.causes ol' death,” said Dr. Elder, “nad have met several well authenticated instances where fright was the cause. The English Surgeon General Francis tells of admmmer In India across whose legs a harmless lizard crawled while he was half asleep. He was sure that a cobra had bitten him, and it was too much for his nerves, and he died. “Frederick I of Prussia was killed by fear. His wife was insane, and one day she escaped from her keeper, and dabbling her clothes with blood rushed upon her husband while he was dozing in his chair. King Frederick imagined her to be the White Lady, whose ghost was believed to invariably appear whenever the death of a member of the royal family was to occur, and he was thrown into a fever and died in six weeks.”—Washington Post.

Neighborly Maine Folks. They are neighborly in Bucksport. A capitalist haring given an industrious citizen an old house if he would move it from the lot, the folks turned out with 11 pairs of horses, 7 yokes of oxen and 200 boys and had a moving picnic, pulling the structure in the old fashioned way on shoes, by sheer strength. Th« poor but honest citizen got a home for n'•thing, while the town had a taste of excitement at slight expense.— Lewiston Jot—naL Those Flannel Suits. “This isn't my flannel suit,” said Harkins to the pawnbroker. “This is a half dozen sizes smaller than mine.” ' ‘Tou are mistaken,” said the pawnbroker. “That is your suit, but it has been in soak so long that it has shrunk.”—Truth.
