cured by tbe uso of Ayor's Sarsnpn
rllla. Bo sure you get Ayer's and no
other, and tako It till tho poisonous
acid is thoroughly oxpelled from tho
system. Wo challenge attention to this
testimony :
"About two yoars ago, after suffering
for nearly two years from rheumatic
out, being able to wnlk only with great
iscomfort, and having tried various
remedies, Including mineral waters,
without relief, I sow by on advertise
ment In a Chicago paper that a man had
been relieved of this distressing com
plaint, nticr long suffering, by taking
Ayer's Sarsaparllla. I then decided to
make a trial of this medicine, and took
It regularly for eight months, and am
pleased to stato that It lias effected a
complete euro. I have since bad no re
turn of tho disease." Mrs. It. Irving
Dodgo, 110 West 125th St., New York.
"Ono year ago I was taken ill with
inflammatory rheumatism, being con
fined to my bouse six months. I camo
out of tho sickness very much debili
tated, with no appetite, and my system
disordered in every way. I commenred
using Ayer's Sarsaparllla and began to
Improve at once, gaining In strength
anu soon recovering my tmtal health.
I cannot say too much in pralso of this
well-known medicine." Mrs. L. A.

was the banquet tendered to him by tho
political club which bears his name in

denlycatherlngup his strength and throw
ing his shoulders backward, while his eyes
iwept the great throng that had gathered
to do him homage, the old Roman spoke
as follows:
"My friends, let mo say to you, lu all
ilncerlty and without the least mental
reservation, thnt I am not nor shall I be
again a candidate for office."
It Was ft Thunderbolt.
Tho stillness which for a couple of mo
ments followed this declaration was in
tense. It seemed
as though every
one of the thou
sand or more upon
whom the words
had fallen felt
that he had lost a
friend. Then as,
with tremblln g
' voice, the speaker
weut on to say
& that he felt that
he had been suffi

his party, there
CArtLlSLK. was a reversion of
feeling, the vast audience could no longer
restrain Itself; overy man arose to his feet,
napkins were waved, and there went forth
Cheer after cheer which might have been

the statesman who had practically said
good-by sank Into his seat, '

The banquet itself was a magnificent
affair. Nothing like It lias ever before
been attempted In the Buckeye state. The
Fourteenth regiment armory had been
transformed into fairyland. The rafters
of Its celling and Its whitewashed walls
wera hidden from view by thousands of
yards of bright colored bunting and silken
(lags and banners Innumerable. Around
tbe floor, rising tier above tier, were tho
choicest products of the hot house, whllo
above all towered majestic palms and fra
grant exotics. The orchestra was hidden
from view In a mass of foliage, In turn
surrounded with a curtain of smilax. At
the southern end
of the hall, upou
d platform heaped
with palms and
roses In bloom,
were crayon por

It was shortly after 8 o'clock when tho
cheering from tho large crowd which had
gathered on the outside announced the ar
rival of thedlstlngulshed guests, and when
the cx-eenator, arm In arm with Presldonl
John J. Lentz, of tho Thurman club, ap
peared on the scene closely followed by ex
President Cleveland and Senator Joseph
McDonald, the cheering was hearty and
prolonged. Mr. Thurman sat on the righ.

Daniel Lamont, Governor Jackson and
Senator Carlisle. Nearly two hours wcri
occupied in discussing the elaborate menu.
It was after 10 o'clock when President
Lentz rapped for order, and In a few well
choaeu words, proposed the toast of "Oui
Guest." Mr. Thurman, on rlslug to re
spond, was greeted with uproarious ap
plaube which lasted several moments
Silence having been restored, be spoke as
follows:'

provrmeot, its wonrtprrut agriculture, its great
mines and manufactures, and Its marvelous means
of communication, the creations of science and
skill, surpass anj thing before known by the hu
man race.
The Age ot Liberality.
And in these soventyfieven years the constitu
tion of nearly every government of Europe has
been ameliorated by the Introduction of more
liberal principles. Central and South America
have become a congeries of republics, Canada
and Australia are substantially republics with
out the name, and even In the far east oriental
Japan becomes more free and liberal with every
revolting year. . Aud more marvelous yet, light
seems to be breaking over benighted Africa, and
men of a sanguine and philosophic disposition
are predicting, without exciting ridicule, her re
demption from her barbaric sleep ot centuries.
In a word, freedom seems to be gradually cir
cumnavigating the globe, and, proud thought
for pa, the polar star of tbe navigator Is our Own
republic ot tbe United States.
Ills Thanks to Ohio.
What I have said may seem to some like ex
travagant optimism: If so I have only to reply
that I have always preferred optlclsm to pessl
mlsin and common sense to both, and that I
don't think that in what I have said I have de
parted from the teachings of my guide.
My friends. It Is seventy-one years slnco at 0
years ot age I became a citizen ot Ohio, and I
have beeu one of her citizens from that day to
this, and will no doubt remain one of her people
until I shall be laid In my final resting place on
earth under her sod. It would be the perform
ance of a grateful duty on my part to speak of
the uniform kindness that I have received, from
boybood lo old age, from the people of this state;
of the honors they have conferred upon me be
yond my deserts; of the numerous and dear
friends I have made and whose attachment can
never be forgotten for a moment or remembered
without emotion! of the distinguished men of
Ohio whom I have seen and with many of whom
I was intimately acquainted, and of the just
pride with which I have witnessed the wonderful
growth of tbe state until her name Is known and
commands respect throughout the whole civil
ized world. Hut Ohio is the I heme from which
rou will hear from your distinguished governor,
and no one is belter qualified to do justice to It
thau he. I snail therefore confine 'myself to a
few iiersonat remlulscences which, If they servo
no other purpose, will prove to you that It Is an
old, old nian whom you honor so highly to-night.
The speaker went on to say that he had
seen and talked with tlio first governor of
tho stato, Edward Tidln, that he had
known its first United States senator,
Thomas Worthlngton, that he had been
prlvato secretary to Governor Lucas, and
seen nud spoken to Gen. William Henry
Harrison, and had been intimately ac
quainted with many other Illustrious
Uhioans now dead and gone. He paid an
eloquent tribute to Itufus P. Rauney, the
venerable aud eminent lawyer, and con
cluded his response In these words:
Ills Wlllidrawnl from Tubllo Life.
llefore I conclude, there Is one statement that
I feel It my duty to make. In one of our town
papers, a few days ago, I saw my name suggested
as that of a proper candidate for the' presidency
or vice presidency In 1892. I regretted very much
to see the suggestion, for appearing In a paper
known to be very friendly to me and published In
tho place of my residence, It might naturally be
suspected by strangers that It was inspired, or at
least approved by me. Hut such was not the
fact. I had no Idea that such a suggestion would
be maae until l saw it in tills paper.
lly trlenas, let me say to you In all sincerity
and without the least mental reservation that 1
am not nor shall I ever again be a candidate for
office. I have been sufficiently honored by my
party and neither ask nor deelre any further
honor than continued friendship and good will.
Gentlemen, I have said enough; more. Indeed,
than I expected to say. Once more let me re
turn my sincerolhanks. You have gladened the
heart and brightened the footsteps of an old
roan, your devoted friend. In his descent of the
hill of life, when he has almost reached its foot.
May Ood bless you all Is his earnest prayer.
The announcement of the next toast,
Citizenship in America." and the nre-
sentatlon of ex-Prcsident Cleveland to re
spond, was the signal for another outburst
of enthusiasm. Mr. Cleveland said:
Orover Cleveland's Speeclt.
Mr. President and Gentlemenl follow the
promptings of a heart full of devotion and ven
eration, as I tender from tho Democracy ot the
great state of New York her tribute of affection
for the man whom we honor to-night. I am

ot the land: because he is tho friend of all who

It Is flttlog that those who have faith In our
destiny as a nation, who believe that there are
noble things which belong distinctively to our
character as a people and who prize at Its true
worm pure American citizenship, should gather
here to-night. It Is given to us to contemplate
the highest statesmanship, the most unyielding
and dUinterebted devotion to the Interests of the
people, and the most valuable achievements la
the cause of our country's wellfare, all of which
have been stimulated and accomplished through

The I'lain People Are Rulors.
In this pretence and In the atmosphere ot these
reflections, we should not miss the lesson they
commend to us, nor fall to renew our apprecia
tion of the value of this citizenship, and revive
ournpprehenslon of the seutlmeats and condi
tions lu which It has Its rise and growth. And
first of all we should be profoundly grateful that
the elements which mske up the strength and
vigor of American citizenship are so naturally
related to our situation aud are so simple. The
Intrigues of monarchy which taint the Individual
character of the subject; tbespIendor which daz
zles the popular eye and distracts the attention
from abuses aud stllles discontent; the schemes
of conquest aud selfish aggrandizement which
makes a selllsh people have no legitimate place
in our national life, Here the plain people of the
land are the rulers. Their Investiture of power It
only accompanied with the conditions tliat they
should love their country, lliat they should jeal
ously guard and protect Its Interests and fair
fame, aud that all tho Intelligence with which
iney are endowed Bhould be devoted to an under
standing ot its needs and the promotion of Its
weuare.
Klements of Amerlcuii Clttzenahlp.
A country broad and new, to bo subdued to the
purposes of man's existence and promising vast
and Independent resources, aud a ieople intelli
gently understanding the value of a free nation
aud holding fast to au Intense affection tor Its
history and Its heroes, have had much to do with
molding our American character aud giving It
uaruinoon and vigor. Hut It should never be for
gotten that tho Influence which, more than all
other things, has made our people safe deposi
taries ot governmental power, and which has
lurnuueu me sureM guaranty or the strength
and perpetuity of the republic, has Its source In

I have spoken of frugality and economy ns Im
portant factors lu American life. I And no fault
with the accumulation of wealth, and am glad to
see energy and enterprise receive their fair re
ward, llut I believe lltat our government la Its
natural integrity Is exactly suited to a frucal and
economical people; aud I believe It is safest In
the hands of thoso w ho have been made strong
and self reliant In their citizenship by self denial
and by the surroundings of an enforced economy.
When, therefore, men In high places of trust,
charged with the responsibility of making aud
executing our laws, not only condema but flip
pantly deride cheapness and economy within, the
homes of our people, And when the expenditures
of the government are reckless and wasteful, we
may do sure mat something is wrong with us,
aud that a condition exists which calls for a vig
orous aud resentful defense of Americanism, by
eery man worthy to be called au American
citizen.

The rurehase of Tarty Success.
It Is hard to speak patiently as we ana er thrse
questions. Step by step a vast number of our
people naa been lea on, following blindly In the
path of party. They had been Oiled with hate
and sectional prejudice; they had been cajoled
with misrepresentations and false promises; they
had been corrupted with money and by appeals
to their selfishness. AU these things led up to
their final betrayal to satisfy tbe.-demands of
those who had supplied the fund 'for their cor
ruption. This betrayal was palpable: and tt was Imnos-
slble to deny or conceal the fact that the pre
tended relief tendered to the people In fulfilment
of a promise tQ lighten the burdens of their life,
made by the party entrusted with the govern
ment, was but a scheme to pay the debts Incurred
by the purchase of party success, while It further
increased the Impoverishment of the masses.

The people were at last aroused and demanded
an explanation. They had been tauehr for lOd
yers that in the distribution of benefits their gov
erninent inouia ueaaminisiereawitu equality and
Justice. They bad learned that wealth was not
indispensable to respectability and that it did not
entitle Its possessors to especial governmental
favors. Humble men with scanty Incomes had
been encouraged by the Influence and spirit of
our Institutions to practice economy and frugal
ity to the end that they might enjoy to tbe ut
most tho rewards of their toll.
CAUght In the Act of Kobbery,
Tbe leaders of the party, which was caucht In
the act of robbery and which was arraigned by the
people for a violation ot 1U trust, were forced by
their sad predicament to a desperate expedient.
To attempt to reverse the current of truo Ameri
canism and discredit tbe most honorable seotl-
menu belonging to American manhood, were the
disgraceful tasks of tbose who Insulted our people
by the announcement of the doctrine that to de
sire cheapness was to love nastlness, aud to prao
uce economy ana irugauty was un-American.
inus do we plainly see that when the nath
pointed out by patriotism and American citizen
ship Is forsaken by a party In power for schemed
of selfishness and for unscrupulous conspiracies
for partisan success, Us course inevitably Iid4
to unjust favoritism, neglect of the Interests of
the masses, entire perversion of the mission of
republican institutions and, In some form, to the
most Impudent and outrageous lusult to true
American sentiment.

The Bcllovuo Training School for
Nurses wes started on May 1, 1873, with
a superintendent nnd flvo nnrses, having'
five wards under their caro.
In 1800 the school had G3 pupils and
had graduated 045, whilo as a direct out
growth of that modest beginning there
aro tlireo other groat schools in New
York nlono. Theso aro tho Now York
City, which has C-i pupils and has gradu
ated 203; tho New York hospital, with
48 pupils and 103 graduates, and Mount
Sinai, with 60 pupils and 111 graduates.
There aro also smaller schools in tho
city, but, great or small, Bellemo must
always bo honored as tho pioneer. Her
graduates aro at the head of most of tho
important schools nnd hospitals in tho
country, nnd have oven gono so far
afield as England, Italy and China.
Tlio next school to Ik ostabllshcil was
tho Now York city, which was started
by tho commissioners of charities and
correction in 1877, und is entirely sup
ported by tho city. Until 1889 it was
known ns tho Charity Hospital school,
becanso it began thoro, but as it grew
its work spread, until tlio old name was
misleading nnd had to lio changed.
It is now tho largest and in some re
spects tho most important of all tho
schools, as it nurses five different hos

If any ono engaged in sen fishing should
capture fish with brass labels tied to their

hundreds of fish so treated in tho sea,
and it nood not be concluded that prac

brass label is an indication that tho fish
wearing it has been in the hands of tho
grave men of ecienco who aro investigat

conditions of fish in Scottish waters. Two

ment.
In tho event of tho fish being recap

tish fishery board on the Garland there
will be something known about its mi
gratory habits. Its rato of growth in a
stato of freedom may also be investigat
ed. It might' bo thought that tho chanco
of meeting with theso labeled fish again
would bo very tonall, bnt it appears that
tho Garland cruisers themselves havo re
captured 2r per cent, of tho plaice nnd
18 tier cent, of tho cod wearing their

public records, for they differed and
wero not reliable And as John V.
simply shook his head aud smiled in
answer to inquiries on the subject, and
as tho senator when in Washington de
clined to express himself in writing, tho
individuals interested wero compelled to
let their thirst for knowledge contiuuo
unslakened until tho latter should re
turn. When ho did return ho was ill,
but that was no obstacle, and upon gain
ing his presence the committee put the
question to him. The senator looked at
them for a moment, raised himself on
his elbow and replied in feeblo tones:
"I was born first, but John is tho
older."
Then ho lay down on his pillow, turned
over, and the committee, bursting with
a plethora of information, withdrew.
