Pauper Children of London.

It is charged by responsible people that the buildings in'which the 18,000 pauper children 6f London are taught are notbeds of disease and —forcinghouses of vice aud continued pauperism. It is also said that tne same thing is true pf the 242,000 pauper children of England and Wales. Moreover, the technical instruction given to the boys in these schools is very poor. As for the girls, they generally leave the school with “a dislike to work and a lialiit <lf destructiveness, not willful destructiveness so much as careless and wasteful usage of everything.” Examining Counsel (tt> witness—What is yc>ur age, nuiduin': Svitness Cwitli charming smile)—lt would do you no good to know.'klr, for I am married and out of the market.

advice during the last few months. Think what a volume of experience ahe has to draw’ from 1 Ko physician living ever treated so many cases of female ills, and from this vast experience surely it is more than possible she has gained the very knowledge that will help your case. She is glad to have you write or call upon her, You.will flnd her a woman full of sympathy, with a great desire to assist those who are sick. If her medicine is not what you need, she will frankly tell you so, and there are nine chances out of ten that she will tell you exactly what to do for relief. She asks nothing in return except your good will, and her advice has relieved thousands. Surely, any ailing woman, rich or poor, is very foolish if she does not take advantage of this generous offer of assistance. • - Never in the history of medicine has the demand for one particular remedy for* female diseases equalled that attained by Lydia E.. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound, and never in the history of Mrs. Pinkham’s wonderful Compound has the demand for it been so great as it is to-day.

PRESBYTERIANS MEET.

One Hundred and Eighth General Assembly Held at Saratoga. The one hundred and eighth general assembly of the Northern Presbyterian Church opened at Saratoga, N. Y., in the First Presbyterian Church, where so many previous assemblies have met. The opening!sermon was delivered by Rev. Dr. Robert Russell Booth, of New York, the retiring moderator, on the subject of “Christian Union and Denominational Loyalty.” The text was taken from the gospel of St. John xvii., 20 and 21. Ir closing, Dr. Booth spoke of the misunderstandings, and conflicts which have di vided, the church and hindered its work. He deprecated any work or act which might aggravate present troubles, and said: “It may" J’® a dream; it may Be a delusion; but, speaking, as it were, for the last time in such a place’ of public authority, I appeal to the sound Christian -sense of the venerable assembly to take some proper measures to ascertain what it is that divides us, and what is requir-

ed for the abatement of strife and a recOneiiiation of parties at Variatree. The first important business transacted was the election of a moderator. Dr. Francis C. Monfort, „of Cincinnati; Dr. David R. Breed, of Pittsburg, and Dr. John L. Withrow, of Chicago, were nominated. The result of the ballot was; Withrow, 315; Breed', 163; Monfort, 84. The election was then made unanimous. The usual reports were presented. The report of the committee on denominational missionary periodical showed successful operation during the year in spite of a slight decrease in circulation: A statement of the relations between the individual societies and the church was presented, in which it was asserted: “This assembly recognizes as under the jurisdiction of the church all young people’s religious organizations of every name which are to be found within its churches or composed of the members of its churches. In general these societies are to be organized and to work in conformity with the historic portion of the church, as expressed by her standards and interpreted by her courts.” < A report which called forth a warm discussion related to Sabbath observance, and was presented by Elder William R; Worrell, of New York. The report de- 1 novwwd all work on various theories of individual liberty, excursions, ball games, bicycle riding, lax views of the Sabbath, social entertainment and the Sunday newspaper. Christian people were scored for their lax observance of Sunday. The resolution, which was adopted, reaffirmed former deliverances as to the perpetual binding obligation of the Sabbath.

COLISEUM NEARLY READY.

Everything Completed Save Paintins: and Putting in Chairs. In a week’s time the Chicago Coliseum, where the Democratic convention is to be held, will be practically finished. Seven-ty-five painters are at work, and, with the. exception of mounting and distributing the 10,000 chairs, theirs is almost the only uncompleted task about the building. The arena in the center of the building, the dimensions of which are 150 x 450 feet, wilt be merely leveled off for Buffalo Bill’s purposes. A flooring in sections hps been constructed and can be put in place in a few hours. For the national. Democratic convention the building will'lje divided into two sections by the means of a partition hung with bunting ahd national emblems. The convention hall will occupy the northern half of the building. There will be seating room for 14,000 persons, and the wide promenade gallery running around the building can either be used as such or be occupied by seats. Ths southern half of the building will be devoted to lobby rooms and divided into committee rooms, retiring quarters, a place for refreshments, etc. Gen. John Coffey, one of the largest and ’wealthiest planters in Alabama, died at his home in Winnville, Ala., aged 84 years. He was a distinguished man i» his day, ranking as brigadier general of militia previous to the Mexican war, which he entered as colonel. His death was due to paralysis and old age. A car on the Agate avenue line of the Tramway company at Denver got out of the control ‘of the motorman near midnight, jumped the track at a curve when going down hill at a high speed and turned over.

SUFFERED FOR HIS COUNTRY.

THE SAD PLIGHT OF A VETERAN CRIPPLED HAND AND FOOT. ■Chas. A. Rosars Stricken with Locomotor Ataxia— Night and Day for Year*— How a New Light Came Infb His Life. JVotn the Chronicle, Chicago, 11L Charles A. Rogers, a veteran of, the war of the rebellion, and a prominent Wert Side citizen, was born in Brooklyn, N. x„ fifty-four years ago, and when a boy of scarcely fourteen came to Chicago, since which time this city has been his permanent home. At the termination of the civil war Mr. Rogers, haring received his discharge in July,' 1865, found hie health so broken by hard service, insufficient food, exposure and malaria in the desolate swamp lands of Louisiana find Mississippi, that he was almost wholly unfitted-for a satisfactory performance of the exacting duties of his occupation, notwithstanding his great force of will. Indeed, the first winder after his return from the field was an extremely severe and trying one for him. He suffered from chronic diarrhoea, malaria fever and sharp, shooting pains in the back and lower limbs. These pains, at that time, he attributed to rheumatism, but the disease st >n proved to be locomotor ataxia (a congestion of the white matter of the spinal cord). In spit&'bf' continued treatment by some of Chicago’s leading and most skillful physicians, the malady increased rather than abated, until by rapid stages he came to use first a cane, then crutches and finally an invalid’s wheel chair, which to this day is his only means o’s locomotion, as he has riot been able to walk since 1878. Despite this terrible affliction, which would unnerve almost any man, he preserves a cheerful disposition, bearing his sufferings with a resignation amounting to heroism. For years, at every change in the weather, or exposure to the slightest draft, excruciating, sharp, darting pains that cannot be described would occur, lasting of ten from ten to fifteen days at a time without a moments cessation. The agony he suffered at these times whs almost unendurable. No sleep could come to his relief, day or night, and his <rase was a most desperate and deplorable one. So the years went on until tho-wintcr of 1892, when he was attacked with la grippe, which was so prevalent at that time. This complaint, added to his other malady, well nigh crazed him. He could neither eat nor sleep, and the best of medical talent that friends could suggest or money procure seemed powerless to help him. but on the contrary appeared to aggravate his disease. At this unfortunate juncture a new light came into his life. Mrs. Rogers, his estimable wife, having read in the Inter Ocean of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, urged that he should try them. He confessed, however, to having little or no faith in any so-called patent medicine, but her solicitations finally prevailed and he commenced using them by taking one at a dose. In three or four days he began to crave food, which he had not done for many years before. He increased the size of the doses to two pills at a time, and in less than two weeks wanted, as he ex- - presses it. three square meals a day. Gradually but perceptibly his general health improved, his bowels became regular and the horrible pains with which he had been afflicted, began slowly but surely to diminish in their intensity, until now they have greatly subsided and he feels like another man. While it is true that Mr. Rogers is far from being well and robust, yet his general health is so much improved that he is greatly encouraged and daily returns thanks to a kind Providence for the remedy so fortunately furnished him. Mr. Rogers resides at 991 Jackson boulevard, on the corner of Western avenue, in dnc-_of the pleasantest spots on the West Side, As for Mrs. Rogers herself, who was the first to suggest the use of the Pink Pills, and other members of the household, who are thoroughly familiar with all the details of t'he case, they cannot but marvel at the efficacy of the remedy ami'do net understand why such an apparently simple medicine should produce such wonderful results, exceeding by far their most sanguine expectations. Having read the foregoing, I hereby certify that the facte in my case are as stated therein. (Signed) CHAS. A. ROGERS. Sworn to and subscribed before me this twenty-ninth day of October, 1895. A. F.

Justice Field’s Long Servie.

Justice Field, of the Supreme Court of the United States, Is trying to beat the service record in that court, and he seems likely to do so. His health is good, and his sturdy frame stands erect Many have looked with longing eyes on his seat on the bench, for he could have applied for retirement some years ago. From time to time, at first, there was speculation on the subject. “If Justice Field should resign,” prefaced many a suggestion. But presently ft became known that Justice Field was in no mood for resigning. Lately it has been that he h^d t 0 beiich longer than any of his predecessors. He was appointed March 10, 1863. He will have to serve until August 16, 1897, if he wishes to equal the service of Chief Justice Marshall. Mr: Marshall, went on the bench Jan. 31, 1801, and served until his death, July 6, 1835. This Is the record of long service on the bench. Justice Field was appointed by President Lincoln March 10,1863, to a place on the Supreme bench created by the law of March 3, 1863. The Supreme Cqurt originally consisted of a chief justice and five associate justices. An additional jusitice was authorized by the law of 1807, another in 1887, and in 1863 a law was passed providing that the court should consist of a chief justice and nine associates. The law of 1869, now in force, reduced the number of associates toeighth—New York Herald.
