bandi, wives, or children; why, then, not a
cousin? ,
There was a simiUr difference of opinion
on the subject among the little conclave in
the snuggery at the Carne's Arms.
Jacob Carey, the landlord, and the old
clerk were all of opinion that Ronald Mer
vyn was guilty, the former basing his opin
ion solely upon the evidence, and the latter
uoon the curse of the Carne's. The land
lord maintained a diplomatic reserve. It
was not for him to otfend either section oi
his customers by taking n decided side.
He therefore contented himself by saying,
"There's a great deal in what you say" to
every argument brought 'forward in the
coffee room, the taproom, or snuggery.
The Carne's Arms was doing a larger
trade than it had ever done before. There
were two detectives staying in the house,
and every day coaches brought loads of vis
itors from Plymouth; while on Saturday
and Monday hundreds of people tramped
over Ironi the railway station, coming from
Plymouth and Exeter to have a view of the
bouse where the tragedy had taken place.
The pressure 01 business was indeed so great
that the landlord had been obliged to take
on two extra hands in the kitcben, and to
hire three girls from the village to attend
to the customers in the coffee room and tap
room. Hiram Powlett wis Captain Mervyn's
champion in the snuggery. It was true he
had but lew arguments to adduce in favor
of his belief, and he allowed the smith and
Heuben Claphurst to do the greater part of
the talking, while he smoked his pipe si
lently, always winding up the discussion by
saying: "Well, neighbors, I can't do much
in the way ot arguing, and r allow that
what you say is right enough, but for all
that I believe Captain Mervyn to be inno
cent. My danghter Ruth won't hear a word
said as to his being guilty, and I think with
her."
Hiram Powlett and his wife had indeed
both done their best to carry out the doctor's
orders that nothing should he said in Ruth's
hearing of the murder. But the girl, as
soon as she was sufficiently recoverea to talk,
was always asking questions as to whether
anv further clew .had been discovered as to
the murderer, and she was indeed so anxious
and urgent on the'matter that the doctor had
felt it better to withdraw his inderdict, and
to allow her father to tell her any little
scraps of gossip he had picked up.
"The idea has evidently got possession of
her mind, Hiram," the doctor said. "She
was much attached to her mistress, and isno
doubt most anxious that her murderer shall
be brought to justice. I have changed my
opinion, and think now that vou had better
not shirk the subject. She has been a good
deal more feverish again the last day or two.
Of course she must stay here now until after
the trial, which will come' off in a fortnight.
"When that is over, I thould strongly recom
mend vou to send her away from here for a
time; it doesn't matter where she goes to, so
lhat she is away from here. It you have
any friends or relatives you can
send her to, let her go to them;
it not, I will see about some home
for convalescent patients where she would
be taken in. There are several of them
about; one at the Isle of "Wight, I believe.
That would suit her very well, as the
climate is mild. Anyhow, she must not
stop here. I shall be heartily glad myself
when the trial is over. Go where I will I
hear nothing else talked about. No one
attends to his own business, and the amount
of drunkenness in the place has trebled. If
I had my way, I would have a regulation
inflicting a heavy fine upon every one who
after the conclusion of the trial ventured to
make any allusion, however slight, to it.
It's disgusting to see the number oi people
who come here every day and go up the hill
i -..Te a look at the house."
ls the day for tbe trial approached, Euth
Powlett became more and more anxious and
nervous about it. it Kept tier awake at
nights, and she brooded on it during the
day. For hours she would sit with her eyes
fixed upon the fire without opening her lips,
and the doctor became seriously anxious lest
she should be again laid up before it became
necessary to give her evidence.
There was indeed a terrible fight going on
in Euth's mind. She knew that Captain
Mervyn wasinnocent; she knew that George
Forrester was guilty, and yet the memory of
her past life was still so strong in her that
she could not bring herself to denounce him,
unless it became absolutely necessary to do
sc to save Eonald Mcrvyn's life. Ronald
had insulted and threatened her mistress,
and had not George Forrester been before
hand with him, be might have done her
some grievous harm, or he might perhaps
have murdered Lieutenant Gulston, for
whom Euth telt a strong attraction, because
she had discerned that Margaret loved him.
It was right, then, that Bonald Mervyn
should suffer, but it was not right that lie
should be hung. If he could clear himself
without her being oblige'd to denounce
George Forrester, let him do so; but if not,
if he were found guilty, then she bad no
other course open to her. She must come
forward and produce the knife and describe
how she had found it, and confess why she
had so long concealed it. All this would
be very terrible. She pictured to herself
the amazement of the court, the disap
proval with which her conduct would be
received, the way in which she would Be
blamed by all who knew her, the need there
would be for going away from home after
ward and living somewhere where no one
would know her story; but not lor this did
she ever waver in her determination.
Bonald Mervyn must be saved from hang
ing, for she would be as bad as a murderess
if she kept silent and suffered him to be
executed lor a crime she knew that he had
not committed.
Still she would not do it until the last
thing; not till everything else failed would
she denounce George Forrester as a mur
derer. She loved him no longer; she knew
that had he not been interrupted he would
have killed her. It was partly the thought
or their boy and girl life, and of the hours
they had spent together by the side of the
Dare, that softened her heart; this and tbe
thought of the misery of tbe kind old man,
his lather.
"I don't understand Buth," the doctor
said one day to Mrs. Powlett. "She ought
to get better faster than she 'does. Of course
she has had a terrible shock, and I quite
understand its affecting her as it did, just as
she was recovering from her former illness;
but she does not mend as she ought to do.
She has lost strength instead of gaining it
during the past week. She is flushed and
feverish, and has a haunted look about her
eyes. If I had known nothing of the cir
cumstances of the case I should have said
that she has something on her mind."
"There is nothing she can have on her
mind," Hesba Powlett replied. "Vou know
we had trouble with her about that good-for-nothing
George Forrester?" The doctor
nodded. It was pretty well known through
out the village how matters stood.
"She cave him up weeks and weeks ago.
just at the time he went awav, when he was
wanted for the share he had in that poach
ing business up in the Carne Woods. She
told her father that she saw we had been
right, and would have nothing more to say
to him. That was a week or more before
she had that fall on the hill, and I have
never heard her mention bis name since. I
feel sure that she is not fretting about him.
Buth has always been a sensible girl, and
once she has made up her mind she wasn't
likely to turn back again."
"No, I shonld not say that she was fret
ting on his account, Mrs. Itowlett. Fretting
in young women shows itself in lowness of
spirits and general depression and want of
tone. In her case it appears to me to be
rather some sort of anxiety, though abeut
what I cannot guess. If it had been any
other girl in the village, I should have had
my suspicions that she had taken a fancy in
some way to Bonald Mervyc, and was anx
ious about the trial; but of course tb,at is
out of the question in Buth's case. No
doubt she is anxious about the trial, and
has a nervous dread of being obliged to
stand up and describe the scene again in a
crowded court, and perhaps be questioned
and cross-questioned. It's a trying thing
for anyone; still more so, of course, for a
girl whose nerves have been shattered, and
who is in a weak and debilitated state of
health. Well, I shall be heartily glad
when it is all over, and we settle down into
our ordinary ways."
"What do you think will be the verdict,
sir? Co you think they will find Captain
Mervyn guilty?"
'.0:
"I do not like to give an opinion, Mrs.
Powlett It depends so much on the jury,
aud the way the counsel and Judge put it .
but I hardly think that the evidence is suf
ficient to hang a man. There are, of course,
grave grounds for suspicion, but I should
doubt whether any jury would find a man
guilty upon them.. It would be amply suf
ficient if it were merely a case of robbery,
but men don't like" to find a verdict where
there is a possibility of their finding out too
late to save a man's life, that they have
been mistaken. At any rate, Mrs. Powlett,
do your best to keep Buth's thoughts fro m
dwelling on the subject. I wish it was sum
mer weather, and that she could sit out in
the garden. Of course she is not strong
enough to be able to walk, except for a
hundred yards or so, but I would get her to
take a little turn, if it's only once around
the garden now aud then."
"I don't think she would walk if she
could, sir. When I was speaking the other
day about her getting well enough to go out
for walks, she turned white and shivered,
and said she didn't want to go outside tbe
door again, not for ever so long. That fall
she got seems to have changed her alto
gether." "Well, well, we must get hervaway, as I
said, Mrs. Powlett. She wants more bracing
air than you have got here, and to have tbe
wind either coming straight off the sea or
else to be in some hilly, breezy place."
"I am sure I don't know how it is to be
managed. She can't go by herself, and I
don't see how I am to leave Hiram."
"You will have to leave Hiram for a day
or two and take her wherever we fix upon as
tbe best place, and settle her there. Hiram
will get on very well without you for a day
or two. She is no more fit to travel alone
than a baby. However, I must be off. Keep
up her spirits as well as you can, aud don't
let her brood over this business."
At last the day when Bonald Mervyn was'
to be tried for murder arrived, xne Assizes
were at Exeter, and never in the memory of
man had there been such numerous appli
cations to the Sheriff and other officials lor
seats in tbe court. The interest in the case
had extended far beyond the limits of Devon
shire. The rank in life of the victim and
the accused, the cold-blooded nature ot the
murder, and the nature of the evidence, ren
dered the affair a cause celehre, aud the pros
and cons of the case were discussed iar and
wide.
The story of the curse of Carne's Hold had
been given at full length by the reporters of
the local papers and copied by all the jour
nals of the kingdom, and the tact that mad
ness was hereditary in the family went for
much in the arguments of those who held
that Captain Mervyn was guilty. Had it
not been for this, the tide ot public feeling
would have been distinctly in favor of the
accused.
By itself, the rest of the evidence was in
conclusive. Men who have been jilted not
unlrequently use strong language, and even
threats, without anything coming of it. The
fact of the glove having been lound where
it was was certainly suspicious.but after all,
that iu itself did not count for much; the
glove might have been blown to where it
was lound, or a dog might have picked it up
and carried it there. A dozen explanations,
all possible, even it not probable, could be
given for its presence, and betore a man
could be found guilty of murder upon cir
cumstantial evidence, there must be no
room whatever left lor doubt. Therefore,
the quarrel, the finding of the glove, and
even the fact that Captain Mervyn was un
able to prove an alibi, would scarcely have
caused public opinion to deciJe against him
had it not been for the fact of that taint of
insanity in his blood. Call a dog mad and
you hang him. Call a man mad and the
public will easily credit him with the com
mission of the most desperatecrimes; there
fore, the feeling of the majority of those
who assembled at the Court House at Ex
eter, was unfavorable to Bonald Mervyn.
The attitude of the prisoner did much to
dispel this impression; he was grave, as one
might well be with such a charge hanging
over him, but there was nothing moody or
somber, still less wild, in his expression; Tie
looked calmlv round the courtroom, ac
knowledged the encouraging nods given
him by some of his fellow officers who had
come over to bear witness on the point, of
character, and Who to a man believed him
to be innocent. Certainly there was noth
ing to suggest in the slightest degree the
suspicion of madness in his appearance;
and many ot those who had before been im
pressed by the story of the family taint,
now veered round and whispered to their
friends that the story of insanity was all
nonsense, and that Bonald Mervyn looked
wholly incapable oi such a crime as that of
which he was accused.
Dr. Arrow smith badbrought Buth over
under his personal charge. As she came
out, when he called in his trap to take her
to the station, lie was surprised at the change
which had taken place since be saw her the
evening before. The anxious and nervous
expression of her face was gone, and she
looked calm and composed. There was in
deed a certain determined expression in her
face that led the doctor to believe that she
had by a great effort conquered her fear of
the ordeal to which she was to be exposed,
and had nerved herself to go through it ua
flinchingly. As theyjourneyed in the train
she asked bim:
"Shall wc bejin the court all thetime.Doc
tor?" T
"No, Buth, I do not think you will be in
court. I fancy the witnesses will remain in
a room together until they are wanted. I
myself shall be in court, as the solicitor for
the defense is a personal friend of mine,and
will give me a place at his table."
"Do you think, sir. that after I have given
my evidence they would let me stand there
until it is done?"
"I should hardly think so, Bnth, and I
am sure it would be a very bad thing for
you."
"I have a particular reason for wanting to
be there, Dr. Arrowsmith, and to hear it
to the end. A most particular reason. I
can't tell you what it is, but I must be
there."
The doctor looked at her in surprise.
"You think you will not feel the suspense
as much if you are in the court as you
would outside, Buth? Is that what vou
mean?"
"That's it, partly, sir. Anyhow, I feel
that I must be there."
"Very well, Euth, if you see it in that
way, I will do what I can for you. I will
ask Captain Hendricks to speak to the po
licemen in the court and tell tbem to let you
remain there after you have given your evi
dence. There will be a great crowd, you
know, and it will be very close, and alto
gether I think it is foolish and wrong of
you."
"I am sorry you think so, sir, but I do
want to be there, whatever happens to me
afterward."
"Of course you can do as yon like. Butb,
but the probability is that you will faint
before you have been there five minutes."
"I will try not to, sir, and I don't tbink'I
shall. It is only when Iget a sudden shock
that I faint, and I don't think I can get one
there."
To be continued neit Saturday.
' MORE ARUDSTS TO FOLLOW.
Tbe Oleomarsnrlno Cass Did Not Reach a
Trial Yesterday.
The case of George Gibson, proprietor of
the Gibson Detective Agency, of Braddock,
and his employee, W. C. McCrea, charged
with conspiracy and blackmail by occupants
of th Diamond Market, was to have a
hearing before Alderman McMaster at 3
o'clock yesterday afternoon. But at the
appointed hour the opposing counsel met
and after a short consultation decided to
postpone th e case indefinitely. It is
claimed Gibson employed a number of men
and women to go among the butter and
egg dealers and "purchase oleomargarine,
after which McCrea would go to the dealers
and offer to destroy the same for a consider
ation variously stated from $15 to 535. In
case the dealer refused to settle it is alleged
Gibson would immediately bring suit be
fore Alderman Carlisle, and the victim
would Invariably settle by paying half the
fine or $500. The complaintants are "Owen
McCann and Mrs. Elizabeth Herst.
In default ot bail McCrea was remanded
to jail. It is expected that more arrests
will follow in a few days. Thomas .
Marshall is the prosecuting attorney and F.

WORTHLESS CHAKACTERS AND WHISKY
ISrXCUI. TKLXOBAII TO TBI DISIMTCtt.:
Johnstown, July 19. TreasurerThomp
son closed his bank shortly after 3 o'clock
to-day. About $8,000 was paid out to-day,
making a total of $23,895 in the 'two days.
Judge Cummin only spent an hour in his
office, leaving the work in charge of one of
his clerks. Everything passed off quietly,'
and as the people become accustomed to the
metehod the work is made lighter.
The party returned to Cresson on
the 4 o'clock train. Military headquarters
have been removed to the hill above the
station, from where a fine view can be had
of the town. Nearly every gang of work
men can be seen from in front of Captain
Hamilton's headquarters, and with a field
glass the numbers on the wagons can be
told. Captain Hamilton called the bur
gesses of tbe different boroughs together
again this afternoon and advised them to
take concerted action to get rid of the
worthless characters now loafing around
town. The question ot the pay of the
police was discussed, and the Captain said
that the State could not see the propriety of
helping bear the expense so long as the'sale
of liquor was allowed, and the burgesses
were requested to write on appeal to Judge
Johnston for arj order revoking the sale of
liquor in the Conemaugh Valley for the
time being.
Father Field has called a meeting near
the headquarters of the Bed Cross for to
morrow evening, where he will deliver a
temperance lecture.
Five bodies were found to-day, and there
are indications that many more are uuder
the large piles of debris, where the men are
now working. Wonderful progress has ooen
made in clearing up of late, the distribution
of the workmen being so well systematized
that they perform much more labor now
than formerly.
Treasurer Thompson says that he did not
offer to give the distribution of the relief
fund to a Johnstown man, as he considers
the duty belongs to himself, however un
pleasant it may prove to be. A gentleman
named Earney has two skye terriers that
were born in the flood and were rescued by
the mother clinging to a tree and holding
them until the water subsided. They were
on exhibition to-day and attracted much at
tention. The number of persons subsisting from
the commissaries is now less than 1,400, and
reductions are being made every day. The
new road of the Valley Pike Company to
Moxham, which had been badly washed
out, has been put in condition for travel.
Another secret session of the Finance
Committee was held to-day, hut the public
could not learn what was done.
The largest check paid to-day was for $600,
and was to the widow of Policeman El
dridge, who lost his life while warning the
people of the approach of the flood. He
was drowned at the head of Main street,
near the Hurlbert House, while his family
were all saved in their home only a 'few
hundred feet awav, the house being saved
from total destruction by a large brick just
in front of it. Tne case of Mrs. Eldridgh is
a very deserving one, as she is left with lit
tle children and no means oLsnpport. Tbe
Board of Inquiry gave out orders to-day lor
the sufferers in the Fifth ward.
New buildings are'eoing up everywhere
through the town, but lew ot them are more
than one story Dr. W. B. Iiowman has reA
built his office, it being the first brick struc-'
ture erected since the flood.
A large pile of debris in Kernvilleissaid
to be full of dead people yet. As the work
goes og, and the people see the almost hope
lessness of getting their places cleaned up
this summer, they become disheartened, and
were it not for the expectancy of substan
tial relief, many would become despondent
and leave the place. The paying out of the
money is having a good effect, however, and
may put life into them.
A FOOTHOLD IN HAITI.
It Was Offered Amcrlca.br Salomon and
Blaine Mny 9Iuke (he Barsaln.
Washington, July 19 The Star to
night, alter referring to the communication
which it was said President Salomon of
Hayti had made to this Government shortly
before' his death, offering to give to tbe
United States the absolute right to the har
bor of Mole St. Nicolas, that we might es
tablish a coaling station for our war vessels
there says:
"This proposition of President Salomon
was still nnacted upon when Mr. Blaine
went into the State Department', and it is
believed to have furnished the incentive for
his proposition to send a commission to
Hayti,, with a view to ascertaining whether
or not Legitime was disposed to give us as
liberal concessions as were offered by Pres
idet Salomon. President Salomon's" reason
for making this offer, it was said, was to
effect a close alliance with the United States,
with, the hope that would iusure a stable
government in Hayti."

Trust and BAreckeli.
New Yobk, July 19. VI Relief that the vast
quantities of refined sugattbat have been piled
up in the big storage jij.-vrenouses along tbe
Brooklyn water front during the past two years
had been corralled In tbe View of a squeeze by
the managers of the SugarX Trust has.found
many supporters in flnancl.il WrcWs. Thongb
for some time past this pilbi&up of the com
modity was gonerally known, ltVaseupposed
to be owing to a scarcity of room in the re
fining buildings. The Havemeycryfc Eider,
Havemeyer Ss Matheson and Wieners Com
panies, the apparent controlling pirlts ofthe
trust, were the most extensive storersA On the
Stock Exchange the opinion prevails to-day
that the trust has been engineering 'a corner in
sugar, and that ere long the price of tbevretined
article will be sent up like a rocket. I
The wholesale grocery houses and Other con
sumers ot the article in this city have tevfpently
heard of this alleged movement on the, part of
the trust. For months back every available
Inch ot store rooms in the big rocery houses
on the west side has been utilized for storing
sugar, and many of the public warehouses
heretofore at this season of tbe year fllledwith
wintpr Kiinnlfos nf mnnpil nMaa have been eb-
gaged by tbe wholesale dealers for sunarstorV
age. On the other hand, (Wall street sugar
brokers,-wbo will talk on the subject, hold that
tbe trust has stored tbe sugar because mere is
no market for it. The prices have struck
bottom and the refiners can realize no profit
on their manufacture. V
It has been suggested that possibly the sugar
has been accumulated to undermine Claus
Bpreckels when he got his Philadelphia beet
product refiner in operation. That it was the
intention to swamp the market with the genu
ine article at a low price as soon as Spreckels
turned out bis first cargo. In answer to this
the leading member of the most prominent
sugar concern in Wall street, but with no affilia
tions with the trusts, said to-day: "Whatever
the object of storing this sngar. it is almost cer
tain that Spreckels has a hand in it His alleged
enmity to tne Sugar Trust is all moonshine. No
one on the inside supposes for an instant that
he is going to fight a corporation of 530,000,000.
He is with tbe trust hand and glove. He's too
smart a business man to fight against it."
FLIES BI THE WAG0NL0AD.
Singular Iavnilon of Dabaqne by an Army of
Winced Pets.
rSFXCXU. TXLKCRAM TO THX DISPATCH.!
Dubuque, Iowa, July 18. This city is
just recovering from an invasion by Mor
mon flies, such as it has never before
known. Last night these pests came up from
the river in great swarms, and gathered
about the gas and electric lights, to that
people were compelled to abandon the
streets. The morning newspaper offices and
telegraph offices were compelled so close
their windows and doors to escape torture.
These pests sprang from the sand beds along
the river, and are sometimes called sand
flies. They are about an inch long, with
broad wings, and spring into existence in a
few hours. After flying about the light
for one night they cease to exist.
Along the levee the bnildings were "cov
ered so thick with these pests that nothing
could be seen but a writhing mass of in
sect life. In many places along the streets
last night they were three inches in depth,
where they had fallen down dead upon the
pavement. This morning the stench from
their bodies was insufferable, and the
health'authorities had several wagons em
ployed in removing the offensive mass.
Disinfectants have been applied all day,and
even now the odor is nauseating. Old set
tlers along the river say that they have
never been like this before, and claim that
it is indicative of an unusually hot season.

Washington, July 19. The Secretary
of the Treasury has informed William W.
Land, United States Consul at Hamburg,
Germany, who is about to return to this
country and who asks that his personal
household effects be admittedHo entry with
out examination, that the effects of consuls
are subiect to the same reauirements of law
I and regulations as the effects ot other per
vsons arriving in this country and. that the
department is without authority to grant
sis request, Inasmuch as the examination of
his effects and the assessment of duty on
such household effects as have not been used
abroad for one yeir are required by law.
It Might Have Been Worse.
2fpt long since, Mr. Charles M. Elcbenlaub,
an Allegheny gentleman, who lives at 189 Fed
eral street, was made totally realize tho fact
that tbe aches and pains ha experienced in
different parts ot bis body were not without a
cause. The high-colored urine, pain across tbe
small of his back and kidneys, together with
other unmistakable signs, warned him that his
condition was fast approaching Brigbt's dis
eased The sharp, burning pain in bis feet gave
bim untold misery. In fact, bis disease grew
from bad to worse, until he was unable to walk
or step on his feet without experiencing great
pain. He also frequently felt pain under bis
shoulder, blades and different parU of his
body. lie lost bis appetite, and be
felt a full, bloated feeling after
meals. As the llttlo food he ato lermented in
his stomach ho bad much eructation of gas.
After taking six weeks' treatment at
THE POLYPATHIC MEDICAL INSTI
TUTE, at 420 Penn avenue, his aches
and pains all left bim. bis appetite

A Pittsburg Player Who Played In
Southern Teams.
INTERVIEW WITH A BASS SINGER
Among baseball players and the enthusi
astic readers of baseball columns, Mr. Louis
Kensintrer's name is a familiar oue. A suc
cessful amateur player in Pittsburg, his
first professional engagements as pitcher
were in the Southern League, where his
"curve" was effective and his work more
than satisfactory. Obliged to give up ball
playing, he returned to his home in Pitts
burg, and has since been living at 3912
Woolslayer, near the corner of Thirty-ninth
street and Penn avenue. It was here that
the writer found him.
"Yes," said Mr. Kensiuger, in reply to a
ques ion. "It had been a number oi years.
I can't say just how long. It came on so
steadily and gradually that I couldn't say
when it began. My nostrils would clog up
and I noticed I was more than usually
liable to what seemed to be slight colds. I
began to have headaches continually, and
it seenieu as n i naa coia an mc umt;. .n.
dry, hacking cough set in, and my throat
got into a raw, inflamed state. There
would be a dropping back of matter from
VnAhead into my throat, and I was all the
time hawking and raising and trying to
clear, it.
i"This condition of things lasted some
time without getting much worse or much
betWAand it has onlyi been within the last
year ortwo that I realized that tbe trouble
had extended until I was really in a
serious condition. My nights became rest
less. I Would wake up feeling as if I were
chokingA My throat would get filled up.
My breathing was labored and difficult.
There wassoniething like a weight on my
chest, pressing down. .
Such niehts as these would leave me en
tirely unfit for work the nextNday. And as
if that were not enough, ther$ would be
sharp, snooting pains, stabbing like a
knife, that would run through me so severe
that they would take my breath- away.
When I would get up in the morning I
would feel weak and miserable. iTsually
there would be a dizzv spell when Ts, would
afirst'get up, and I would stagger in trying
to walk. I couldn't eat. I didn't seem to
have any relish for food at all. My sense
of taste was almost gone. My hearing ad
sight were both affected. The ringing cud
buzzing sounds in my ears had been fal
lowed by a partial deafness in one of them)
and my eyes were so dim and blurred I could
hardly see to read.
"In the last year I could see that the,
trouble was extending faster and that Twas'
getting worse more rapidly than ever. The
slightest exertion would put me out of
breath. My heart would beat hard and
fast. Then the palpitation would, be fol
lowed by slow, irregular beating and faint
ness. I "tried various remedies and physi
cians.' In fact, did everything that I was
advised to -do, but. I got no help. Some
time ago I went to Drs. Copeland & Blair.
Their charges were reasonable, such as I
could afford, and I placed myself under
their care. It was not very long before I
could see that my trouble was leaving me.
My head and heart became clear. I began
to, sleep soundly and well, to eat heartily
and to relish what I did cat. I had no more
trouble with my hearing or with my eyes.
"No more couch and no more pains "in the
chest or about the heart. 1 was soon able to go
to work regularly I haven't lost a day since
on account of my health. I feel strong and
well -now, and it is only what is dne to the
doctors thatl should make this statement."
Mr. Kensinger lives at the address Riven,
which is in tbat section of the city known as
Lawrenceyille. He is engaged at Nichols'
Bridge Works, on Thirty-sixth street, below
Butler street. Tbe statement can easily be
verified. Mr. Kensinger is also well known in
connection with his singing, his bass voice
rorming; one of 'the attractions of a quartet
frequently beard in public He states that fils
catarrbaltroublo made it bad, and sometimes
'almost impossible for bim to sing, but that
during the treatment be found that the vocal
trouble ws passing away and that now bis
voice is clear, even in the lower notes; that it
does not seeni to become tired and strained as
before, and that be has bad no more difficulty
with it.
VERY PLAIN TALK,
Showing the Outline of a Route Which is Of
tenVFollowed. "When a person with a delicate constitu
tion has a tendency to catarrh or consump
tionwhether this tendency is inherited or
results from taking Void easily it is no
ticeable that that person invariably loses
flesh and loses strength, showing that tbe.
nutrition is interfered with.
In such a case the sufi'erer should at once
be placed under influences that will, restore
the detective nutrition and tend to invigo
rate the constitution.
It is to be remembered in every case the
Sresence of catarrh is an evidence of pre
isposition to consumption, and no matter
how slight the attack may be, it should be
treated with the greatest toare aud the treat
ment should be continued, until all traces of
tbe catarrh have disappeared.
If the catarrh is allowed to reach the smallest
tubes in the lungs which condition Is indi
cated by the SDittinir uo of a. rollow material

that produces consumption, and .Senca no one
can afford to neglect a case of catartb, however
slight. It is easily cured, if taken in time and
treated reeularly and correctly by aWecial 1st.
If left to itself it is rarely cured Without a
change of climate, but with each ntW cold it
gets more and more troublesome, extending al
ways a llttlo deeper intq the lungs unt u a cure
bacomes difficult and sometimes impossible.
"I should like to be treated," a Iailv re
marked the other daj, "but I would not
like to have my name in the paper." ujet
it be stated that Drs. Copeland and Blair,
never publish a name or statement without1
the full and free consent of the patient, nor,
do tbey publish one hundredth part of the
testimonials, letters and statements received
by tbem from grateful patients. As observed,
