STATUARY GROUP AT SIGHT OF WHICH BEREAVED MOTHER FAINTED.

A news dispatch from Buffalo told of a pathetic incident at the exposition art gallery when Mrs. Helen M. Packard of Springfield, Muss., viewing a statuary group called “El Cancy,” suddenly became aware that the scene depicted was that in which her two sons participated. The story on which the group is based was told by a war correspondent as follows: “Just below the stone fort on the hill, sitting in the middle of the pineapple field, I came upon a pitiful sight—a soldier sitting on the ground, holding in his lap the head of a poor fellow who was literally shot to pieces. One bullet had gone through his head, another through his lungs and chest, tearing a horible hole, from which the blood poured at every breath. He was almost dead, and every breath sounded like the noise madp by pouring liquid from a bottle, and his comrade kept the flies from his face, that ,was clbtted with blood and dirt, and waited. Occasionally, when the poor fellow would groan a bit louder than usual, thb friend would change the dying man’s position, but he held him as still as he could, “ ‘Don't suppose there’s a surgeon about?’ he inquired, as I stopped. “I told him there was not now, but would be later. «o “ ‘Well,’ he remarked, quietly, “don’t

suppose they could help him. He’s ’bout gone, I reckon.’ “The breathing became weaker and the gurgling fainter and fainter as tha grayish pallor began to show through the sweat and dirt'and blood, and finally, without a tremor, breathing ceased. The soldier held his burden a moment until he saw the end had come, and then laid his handkerchief over the ghastly face and gently let the head down to the ground, and slowly got up. “ ‘Know him?’ I asked. s"' “ ‘My brother,’ he calmly said. And then Ire filled his lungs with one long, deep sigh and gazed off to the hills for a moment with a faraway, thoughtful look, and I could see that he wafc looking straight into some home and wondering what mother would think:’’

RARE TREASURES ARE FOUND.

Overhauling of Palaces in England Leading to Discoveries. The overhauling to which the various royal palaces of England are being subjected, by order of King Edward, is leading to extraordinary discoveries. Garrets and cellars closed for longer than a century are being cleared and thrown open. Recently a magnificent portrait of Queen Caroline, by Lawrence, waa found, along with some other puintings, in garret nt Windsor Castle, nnd now an old fourgon, or velxet-iined rail, of great size, filled with splendid silver and silver gilt plate, has been found in u stable at St. James’ Palace, which has not been used for 150 years. The silver in question belonged to Quet;n Anne and was used by her when giving grand dinner parties at Kew, Hampton Court.and other suburban palaces to which Uhe van was dispatched from St. Ja in os’. The silver was black, and undoubtedly had remained in the van since the time of the death of Queen Anne.

REVISED BIBLE ON SALE.

Work of American* A ppears—Clearer than English Version. The first copies of the American standard revision of the Bible, the publication qf which has been delayed for fourteen years by dissent among the revisers, appeared in Chicago the other day. The Americans claim for their work that many passages have been clarified by cutting out obsolete idjoms of King James’ time. Prof. Howard Osgood of the American company of revisers, in explaining for the Sunday School Times some of the changes which appear in the new revision, says that so great has been the change in the meaning and usage of words that some translations, accurate in their day, now misrepresent the Hebrew and Greek, as well as the English, of 300 years ago. “Prevent” then meant to go before, meet; now it theans to hinder. "Let” then signified to hinder; now it means to permit. “Lust’.’ then, as in German now, meant pure pleasure, desire, joy; now it breathes vile passion. Prof. Osgood asks: “Why should we be compelled to read in the Bible the strange spellings ‘bewray,’ ‘ciel,’ ‘grisled,’ ’holpen,’ ‘hough,’ ‘lien,’ ‘marish,’ ‘minish,’ ‘pourtray,’ ‘shew,’ ‘sith,’ ‘strake,’ ‘strowed,’ ‘victual,’ and others? A special dictionary of strange Bible words is required to interpret such spellings to us.”

WILL NOT ARBITRATE.

President Schwab Declines ns Representative of the Steel Combine. Efforts to settle the great steel strike by arbitration have fallen flat. President Schwab of the United States Steel Corporation absolutely refuses to consider the proposition. Simon Burns, president of the National Association of Window Glass Workers, who fiad been commissioned by President Shaffer to make such peace overtures to the combine, arrived in Indianapolis on Tuesday to attend a trade meeting and found awaiting him the positive rejection by Mr. Schwab. While disappointed, Mr. Burns has not abandoned his hope of securing a settlement. “I submitted my plan to Mr. Schwab merely as a suggestion,” said Mr. Burns, “and if there is anything in it that is objectionable to the trust officials it can be modified. When I .return to Pittsburg I shall take the matter up again with Mr. Schwab in hope of making some kind of an arrangement whereby the strike question can be submitted to arbitration. I think that a start toward a settlement of the strike should be made somewhere at once, as St is hurting business.”

So Wags the World.

Madge—l had a most delightful time at the piano recital this afternoon. Marjorie—How lucky you are to have a father who eau give you money ail the time for tickets. The overture must have been beautiful. Madge—l don’t quite recollect, but the pianist’s hair was just lovely. He must spend more time on it than on his practicing. Marjorie—How was the sonata? ' Madge—l guess that was all right, but I was in dreamland all the time, for I knew mine was the prettiest gown in the whole audience. Marjorie—Do you honestly think, my dear, that you derived any real benefit from the recital? Madge—l’m sure of it, love. All the music in my nature seemed to be aroused by the young artist’s skillful rendition, and the moment I arrived home I sat down to my piano and played a whole lot of those lovely ragtime coon melodies.—Smart Set.

Battleship Not a Bird.

It is related that Julian Corbett, the naval expert and author of “Drake and the Tudor Navy” and “The Successes of Drake,” wrote some time ago to tin* Britisli admiralty office suggesting that a new first-class battle ship in course of construction be christened, the Drake. A formal acknowledgment of the receipt of tlie letter was followed by a dignified reply expressing the admiralty's regret at not being able to carry ont Mr. Corbett's suggestion, and explaining that it would be contrary to all precedent to name a first-class battle-ship after a bird.

Exploded Beliefs.

Many things now used for food were once regarded as poisonous. Lemons were so considered by the Romans, and were used to keep away the moths. It was a bold man who first dared to eat a tomato or an egg plant. Now the former Is as common as apples, but too few know the goodness in the egg plant.

A Happy Boy.

Oldenburg, 111., Sept. 2.—The doctors all failed in the case of little thirteen-year-old Willie Keil, who suffered with acute Rheumatism. For over three months, the poor little fellow suffered excruciating torture. His father, who had done everything he could think of, saw a new Rheumatism Remedy advertised—Dodd’s Kidney Pills. He bought some, and soon his little sou showed signs of improvement. Three .boxes cured him completely, and he has not a symptom of Rheumatism left. This miraculous cure of a case which had been given up by the physicians, has electrified Madison County, and Dodd’s Kidney Pills are a much-taiked-of medicine.

S MISS BESSIE KELLOG. S Miss Bessie Kellog. President of the Young Woman's Club, of Valley City, North Dakota, writes the following from First street. South, Valley City, North Dakota: "Ever since I matured I suffered with severe monthly pains. The doctor did not seem to understand what the I rouble was and the medicine he prescribed from time to time did not help me. He finally suggested that I have an operation. One of my friends who had been cured of a similar affliction through the use of Peruna, advised me to give It a trial first, and so I used It for three weeks faithfully. My pains diminished very soon and within two months I bad none at all. “This Is six months ago, and during that time I have not had an ache nor pain. I give highest praise to Peruna. Every woman ought to use It, and I feel sure that It would bring perfect health. ’’—BESSIE KELLOG. The experience of Miss Bessie Kellog, of North Dakota, ought to be read by every
