An Expert Accountant and Bookkeeper el Detroit Troubled with ,, Hereditary Sorofula in its Worst Form—Spends a Small Fortone Seeking to Find a Cure.

•wmsiti: mh, from fa EMlfngNitot, Detroit, Mich.

Jamea H. ^^QaceT the well known expert accountant and Bookkeeper, of Detroit, Mich., lately had a remarkable experience,/ and a reporter «alfed%£ bis pretty home 240 Sixth Street," *0'jitter view bkn regarding it. He femhd Mn£ Wallace in the midst of house cleaning, and after the reporter 6tated the. object of his visit Mrs.,Wallace said: "You had better see Mr- Wallace at the office of C. A. Haberk5rif '&' Co.? tablfe manufactory on Orchard Street, and he will tell you of thifl experience'mficB better than I." A visit was made,to the-office-of the above concern where Mr." Wallace was seen. I am," said Mr. 'Wallace, 'i^ef a S^aung man, still I have suffered untold agoriiei. ftnu tortures. I was born with that awftrl hereditary disease known as scrofula,'Sih'd what I Buffered cannot be well described.

The first physicians tb*t treated me said it was a constitutional blood disorder and by constant treatment and diet it might be cured. The blood purifiers .and spring remedies I used only made the «rapUons more aggressive and painful. In 1888 I was a fearful looking ,"sMit arid was in fact repulsive. On ray lifnbs were large ulcers which were very painful, and from which there was a continual discharge. In three years I sperit oter $3000 in medicine and medical services and grew worse instead of better. I tried the medical baths, and in 1893 went to Medicine Lake, Washington, but was not benefited- I then tried some proprietary inedjeine, but did not receive any benefit. "One day in the fell of 1895 while reading the paper I noticed an: article about Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People, but did not give it much attention. That afternoon while moving some books I broke an ulcer on my leg ancf nearly fainted, the pain made pie sick and 'I had to stop work. vVhile eit-

DEBS DOMINATED II

CARRIED EVERYTHING BEFORE HIM AT. ST LOCIS YESTERDAY.

One of His Characteristic Speeches He Topk the Convention By Storm—The President Appealed To.

SPECIAL SESSION OF CONGRESS ASKED

QEBS SAYS CIVIL LIBERTY IS DEAD IN AMERICA.

Me Will Appeal to the Courts For Justice No More—The Appointment of Mr. Powderly.

St. Louis, August 31.—The conference of

Labor leaders of country, which has been

In session here itwo days, finished its work

this evening. The meeting was productive

pf several sensational speeches and many resolutions, yet no decsive action was taken

In the-principal matter, for which the gath

ering was summoned, the abolishment of

government by injunction. The convention

which had been announced as the last one of its kind to toe held, while adjourning sine, die, has merely .postponed action on the matters before it for three weeks, as a call for a similar conference to be held in Chicago, Monday, September 27 th, was isued. True it is, the convention ordered its chairman, Mr. Pomeroy, to request. President McKinley, in the name otf the convention, to call a:special session of congress for the purpose olf ^hning the authority of judges in the sii^ter of injunctions, but as the president VHP hardly receive the communication in timte to convene congress in three weeks, voiit even .should he consider the matter favora'bly :fthe Chicago gathering may take action would render today's move void, or decide to .act in another manner.

Mr. Debs and, Social Democracy dominated the convention, and the famous labor leader carried ,the convention off its feet this kfternoon in one of his characteristic kpeeches.

A resolution introduced by Mr. Mahon, of, Detroit, calling upon all miners now at tvork to desert their posts, and terming them enemies of human liberty so long as luey remained on duty, was adopted.

Mr. Mahon had another resolution prepared, asking "the convention to call for 100 volunteers to go into the town of Pocahontas, Via., on September 15th, and there hold a public meeting "in defiance of the mayor of that city, who ha^d. set himself up in oppositioij to the God-given and constitutional right of free speech,'' but at the last moment concluded not to present it. The resolution will probably comg to the front at the Chicago convention.,

Mr. Ratchford, who was especially pleased with the conveptkm's instructions regarding the request for. the convening of congress, hurried away tonigh*^© Columbus, where he will attend a conference of mine workers and operators. Mr. DebS'and, in fact, al the leaders are gratified at the result of the conference.

The delegates were v£ry eager for work, *nd the afternbert'^^sibnwas set in inotion promptly «ut 21 o'clobk 'After, considerable jalk several atY^itV

ting in the chair I again noticed the Dr. Williams' Pink Pills article in the newspaper which was laying on the -floor. I read it carefully and itnmediately decided to give the pills a trial, as the account which I read had been of a case similar to mine. I sent the office boy over to Frank Houp's drug store for a box and took some that afternoon. I continued their use and before I had used one box I noticed an improvement. I grew better rapidly and all my friends noticed the improvement, and after taking eight boxes there was not a sore on my person. "I am covered 'frith scars from the ulcers but since that time I have not seen a single indication of the old trouble. I continued the use of the pills long after I was cured as I winted to get my system rid of that awful disease.

If I only had bought Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People at the start would be thousands of dollars ahead and had five years of health and happiness instead of torture. To-day I feel like_ a perfect man and my doctor says I am entirely rid of my old trouble." (Signed") ... JAMES H.WALLACE.

Detroit, Mich.,May 7,1897. Before me a Notary Public in and for Wayne" County, Michigan, personally appeared James H. Wallace, who being duly sworn, deposed and said that he had read the foregoing statement and that the. same was true. i.-, KOBEBT E. HULL, JB.,

up and assert ourselves. Behind these injunctions stand galling guns and Winchesters, but we fear them not. Let us hold up the flag and tear down the courts. We stand on. aur. dignity and will, have our liberty from this time on," shouted Mr,( Sovereign In conclusion.

The convention broke into wild, cheering which developed in 0. minute into a. spontaneous .calL for Mr. Debs,, who had not uttered a word .since the convention opened. Mr. Debs rose (from his seat and came slowly to the platform. "When the cheering ceased he began a speech which was interrupted at the end of nearly every sentence by cheering and handclapping. He said:"I believe the gravity of the industrial situation in this country is well understood. It is quite evident the delegates to the convention are cognizant of the fact that civil liberty is dead in America. I have said, and say again for the last time, I have appealed to the courts for justice and shall appeal to them no more. The A. R. U. expended $45,000 to have the question of civil rights test, ed in the Supreme Courts of the United States only to b© tol# thaf we have no rights that capital was bound to respect. Shall we appeal to the Supreme Courts again? No. We appeal to this convention and to the country for an uprising of all the common people in every walk of life to beat back the, courts and re-einthrone the rights of the American people. Labor Day is near. What shall we do? I predict, my friends, that we will see the extraordinary spectacle of enslaved labor rattling its chains and dancing to the music. Labor 4s the cheapest commodity on God's earth* and yet there are those who would have.it at a lower price. Only the other day the, united voice of labor was raised against the appointment of Mr. Powderly to a federal position, and I notice that he was promptly put into the place. From jus tee of the peace to justice of the Supreme Court of the United States all the judicial powers of the United States are directed against labof. All the organized sources of society are agjainst labor,rand if labor expects to emancipate itself, labor itself must do It."

Mr. Debs then told the convention that much destituton exsted among tie mnerts of the once proud state of ftidiana, and stated that 1,000 underground workers and their famiHes were starving. He read the report of the commission appointed by Governor Mount to examine into the condition of the miners of Indiana, and then took up the thread of his argument. "The time has not quite com# to ncite the populace," said Mr. Debs, shaking his fist vehemently. "I serve notibe on the plutocratic element of this country that we are on the eve of another meeting in Chicago, which will be attended by all branches of labor. That convention, will take up t'ne same questions an/3 will institute agitation and keep it going untfil the public .conscience and public beart are aroused. .Then will come such an-uprising as the world has never seen. ... "I did npt come.vto this, convention to ex» ploit social democracy or any other movement. There is something greater in this movement than any one element can manage —the emancipation of labor. There is no division here. Each man is entitled to hfs own opinion and his right to express it, each man to his duty as becomes that man. I am side by side with you. I am a trades unionist and a 'socialist. (Tremendous' cheering.) "Whenever the trades unions of this country decide to do battle with our common enemy they can count upon us to come to the front and take our places side by side with them and fight with them. Never in my life have I been more hopeful than now. 1 am not gifted with great visionary powers, but I can see the beginning of the end. (Cheers.) This meeting is an inspiration. It 'Mil' lead to gre&t results. This movement has attained tremendous impetus and will go ahead with a rush. When thp people are ready, and that day is not far off, my friends, there will be spontaneous uprising, the Supreme Courts Will be abolished, congress dispersed and the sacred rights of American citizens and American freedmen will be enthroned. (Great applause.) "I plead guilty to the charge of being radical. I only wish you would allow me to be more radical still. Support us, gentlemen of the convention, and I promise you we will support the attempt to abolish government by injunction'and the judges who issue them. On bearing arms: I hope to the march of common intelligence we will reach a point where we will be able to settle these questions without appealing to the sword or bullet. 1 cannot tell. Certain it is, there are thousands o!'our fellow citizens suffering and certain ft is this cannot last. The time will come to incite the populace. When this time copies, you can depend on me. (Cheers.) I will not stand in the rear and ask you to go ahead. I-will be in front and say to you 'come on.® (Renewed cheering.) "I shrink from that bloodshed." and Mr. Debs paused impressively, "but if this is necessary to preserve liberty and our rights —in that etent, I will shed the last drop of blood that courses through my veins." (Outbreak Of cheering.) "The people are ripe for a great change. All they lafck is direction and leadership. Let this ^conference supply it. Let this conference set the pace. Announce to the world that it will temporarily adjourn for three weeks 'to 'renew preparations. Ask every man to pledge himself to be there.Come if you hsrve to walk. No man has a right fo plead poverty."

In 'conclusion,' Mr. Debs said: "My friends, assert yourselves enforce your

cause, liet every man who can be asjgood as his word stand-erect.".

Nearly every delegate in the convention rose to bis feet and cheered the speaker. He went on: ".The significance Jf this movement portends new and importaat2'developments along the line of battle. look forward to the time when the people^will dethrone the power that has enslaved them. The movement is marching grandly forward^ and plutocracy will soon understand-, that slavery and despotism have no rights-to a place on American soil."

As Mr. Debs finished the delegates Stras to their feet, Jumped in the air, threw their hatB in the air and crowded forward to greet the speaker.. It was fully five minutes- before the convention recovered from the. spell which Mr. Debs' oratory had cast about them, Ttieai there was many amendments and substitutes offered none of which was adopted and after an hour or two of talk the last twef planks were agreed to as submitted by the committee, and the platform :-aa a whole was declared adopted. It was then agreed that the basis of representation at the Chicago convention should be one delegate to each loeal labor organization and two from each congressional district, every man to be a wage worker. The chair then appointed Messrs. Debs, Sovereign, Donnelly and O'Connell a committee to arrange for the Chicago convention, and informed..the convention that any money intended as contributions for the striking miners should be sent to Secretary Pearce of the United Mine Workers at. Columbus, O. A resolution to that effect but requesting the chairman ot the convention to.-.ask President McKinley to act in that direction introduced by W. D. Ryan, the Illinois organizer, went through with a whoop, and shortly before 7 o'clock the convention adjourned sine die.

MYSTERIOUS SUICIDE.

A Handsome Young Woman Begs That No Effort be Made to Identify Her. Chicago, August 31.—A handsome young Woman whose name is unknown, killed herself this morning 'in the Victoria (Hotel, where she was a guest. The suicide was evidently carried out with the utmost deliberation, as the young woman had slept in the bed during the night, taking a bath in the morning, made up the bed aii^ then swallowing morphine lay down to dii/*

At 2:30 o'clock Monday afternoon &he entered the hotel and informed the cl^fk that she was on a long journey and v/ifilf^d' to remain in Chicago for a day foT the pirptJEe of resting. She paid for her room 'advance, as she had no baggage, and registered as Miss Blanche Wilson, New York' City. She requested that If she failed to rise feSrly' in the morning she be allowed to ^leep1 as she was very tired. She was shown td 'her room, and that was the last seen of heHallve.

After repeated knockings had failed to arouse her the room was forced end ^he was found dead on the bed. She was 'dlad only in a night robe. A vial which had'efcntained morphine was on the bed and-iftSttn a chair was her clothing folded nfeatly: :The dress and linen were of expensive material.

Sealed in an envelope which bore no address a note was found on the table. It read: "Toi Whoever You May Be: Please do not try to find out who I am. I ask and beg of you, whoever you may be and remember it is my last favor I ask on earth as a dying woman. And for my mother's sake do not try. Just leave to anny. I don't care what you do with my body. Remember, 'please, don't try for my mother's sake."

There was no signature to the note. It wis penned in a small feminine hand, and the formation of the letters indicated that the hand which held the pen was trembling. The bed had evidently been made up hurriedly after/being slept in and the -woman had taken a bath and dressed her ttWr'wife folly before taking the poison.

On her finger was a plain gold band and on the Inside was engraved "A. M. E." In a bundle of four collars, two were marked *'L. H. G.," one "A. D. A.," and one "L. M." A collar which she had been wearing was marked similarly to one of the collars in the package, "L. H. G."

Late tonight the woman was partially identified as Martha although it ^s not known whether she was a resident of this city or came from another point.

There WM Natfetag of DUcoura*l»* Character la Foreign R«porti aad ©oWere

The other markets were carried along, corn having the additional help of 3fcne December delivery and sensational crop reports from Iowa. Corn advanced lc, oats %c and provisions

For a moment at the opening wheat was below the price it closed at yesterday, it soon recovered, however, and lor au bour afterward ruled firm with a gradual improvement in prices, until it nad turned a %c decline at the start into an advice of lMtc. The first trade* in l?«cjb®r were at trom 8a^e to ami txiioi a it-.JO o'clock it had risen to 9Wjc In less ttn half an hour later the pri^e was Au unaccountable weakness cvi-ricok tho crowd on the curb at:er clcse yejsiar.lfcy, and a little of that found expression a: the start. There was nothing et a weakening or discouraging character in the early news. Liverpool was Vid lower, but New York reported foreign buy in* orders and acceptances of offers made last night »y cable, to tbe United Kingdom and continent. Deliveries at Chicago on September contracts did not exceed 15,000 bushels. Although Liverpool was lower, Paris waa, the equivalent of ^c per bushel higher and second cables showed a marked change for the better in London. It was to tha renewal of foreign buying,.however, that the market owed its strer»gtn, as it showed the dependance of Europe upon this country for supplies until next spring at least. Receipts here were 415 cars. Minneapolis and Duluth received 394 cars, against S46 a year ago. The Atlantic port clearances were 966,000, which will make the average exports 1,000,000 a day for three consecutive days. This gave a fresh impetus .to the upward trend of priccs, December bringing 92%c at noon. Closing cables were qf a mixed clferacter. Paris was lc •higher, Antwerp 5&c lower and Liverpool closed Id higher for September, and '^d for

December. Heavy shorts in this market, saw good reasons for getting off that side and contributed to the advance which kept gaining till the close.

December rose to 94c, but had reacted to 93%c just at the close. There was an enormous trade in corn, with the west doing the most buying, and with crop damage claims fae factor There was disposition to sen at tne opening on predicted rains in the corn belt, but that changed quickly when wheat shorts started for cover. December started at from 81-14o to 32Vfec, most of the trading at the higher figure, which was about where it closed yesterday. The price gained steadily until a few minutes from the olose it reached 3314, and it wound up at W^S^Ac. Some heavy short lines were covered and helped materially in causing tho advance. Receipts were 1,550 cars. Charters were for 575,000 bushels.

The session in oats was unattended with any noticeable activity, business being principally local. The market was firm throughout, principally through sympathy with wheat and corn. Receipts were 363 cars. Visible increase 768,000 bushels. December opened unchanged at 20^c, and gradually advanced to 20%ic, where It closed.

Provisions were moderately active. The market o.pened easy, unaer the influence® of fairly liberal delivarles. but the market turned strong when wheat and corn commenced to climb. Armour and Cudahy were both said to be heavy buyers. At the close December pork was IOC higher at 89.07, December lard 2'A!?«c hisrher at $4.97%(®5.00, and December ribs unchanged at $5.10.

Hew "XorJ*. ••Sept. 1.—Bar silver made a newJgw record in this market today. Th« qiWtFd pricr wa& 51*4c an ounce, lie below the previous low record. Mexican dollars are quoted at 41c. London's opening price for bar silver \va* 23-^d, the rate subsequently dselin!ng to 23^d. below the prwousl low record. The fall Is amounted for by the suspension of the sale of India council bills for tep weeks. This is equivalent to shutting off the supply of exchanpo on India, and likely to result In a rise of Indian exchange to the gold shipment point, and is regarded as removing one of the sustaining factors to the price of siiver.
