of -water -which quickly cohered the bottom
fct the little space where they stood.
"Good heavens, this is serionsl" ex
claimed Davis; "little as I know, I know
what this means. The -water keeps coming
in and there is no outlet for it. We are in
great danger. Madge, -where are you?"
Madge struggled through the fast-rising
water toward her husband's voice and clnng
to him desperately.
"lorn, dear," she cried, "you speak of
danger tell me the truth. Do you mean
is it death?"
"I am afraid it is."
She gave a little smothered cry and fell
back into her husband's arms; she was not
a particularly courageous woman, and there
"was small wonder if she -was terribly Irlght--ened
now. There -was a long silence, and
then 'Whelau spoke.
"Good God, Davis, can't you say any
thing to comfort her? To make it seem
easier? It's your place to help the poor
child to bear it"
"She has fainted," said Davis shortly; "it
is best so, she won't feel it so much -when
the end comes."
"An -awful end,,' said "Wnelan, shudder
ing, "an awful end for her. It is madden
ing. If one could only do something to save
her, something to help her."
Something in his tone amazed and even
interested Davis, in spite of his own horror.
"Why, Whelan," he exclaimed, J'you
don't mean to say you care lor her still?
That von have been going on caring for her
all these years?"
"Still?" repeated Whelan. "All this
time? Why, of course, I do. I should have
gone on all my life and hers, however long
we had both lived. Xou have made her
very happv, Tom, so it is just as well as it
is, but if I'd known at the time what it
would cost I don't think I could have done
it, and if yon had known I don't think you
would have accepted the sacrifice."
"What sacrifice?"
It was Madge who spoke, starting from
her husband's arms and questioning -with
passionate eagerness.
"What sacrifice? I was not fainting; if I
had been I think I should still have beard
such words as those. What sacrifice?"
"Sever mind now, Madge," said her hus
band, feeling lor her in the dark, "it is all
past now. We have only a few moments left
to live. Don't let us say anything to disturb
them."
Madge flung away his hands angrily.
"What sacrifice?" I wiil know, I will un
derstand, before I die. What sacrifice?
Speak, one of you."
"My dear, be reasonable," said Davis,
fretfully, using the usual "husbandese" for
"don't contradict me." "It is a past matter
between Whelan and me."
She broke away, and stood apart from both
or them.
"It concerns me, too," she said. "Iknow
so much already. Mr. Whelan, you know
what I heard; finish the story."
"As you will," said Chris. "Tom, I
think I have a right to tell her now. It is
only that we both loved you, Madge, as you '
heard just now, hut Tom asked me to give
you up to him. because he needed you
most, and I did so. It was hard to bear at
the time it has been harder since; but as It
turned out so well I am content."
"Content!" The word rang sharply
through the darkness. "Content yes, we
have both been content when we might have
been happy. Oh, why did you do it? Why
did you do it?"
She had come close to him now, and seized
his arm fiercely.
"Why did you do it? What right had
yon to sacrifice me that you might be gen
erous? Generous! So; you were selfish
and cruel; you trod on my heart that Ton
might rise a step hicher in virtue. Was I
a stake at cards that you should let your
friend win me from mere good nature?
Was I placed in the world that you should
step aside and resign me to him ? Was I
not a heart and soul, a living woman, Who
surely had a right to a voice in her own dis
posal ?"
"But Madge," cried Whelan, amazed at
her anger, "one word. How could I know?
Jf you bad refused Davis "
'"'Eel used him can you not understand?
Ton both came to my mother's house, and I
thought I hoped no matter what I thought
and hoped, for vou le:t me without a word
and it seemed to me that you were fickle
and he was true, and that I had been fool
ish and blind to have believed in you. and
lo have misprized him. He was ready to
love me when you had left me. What won
der if I was touched by his patience, won
by his faithfulness?"
"Bntyou seemed sofond.of your husband,
so happy, that I was almost glad "
Seemed!" she cried, bitterlv. "Was I
to let you, who I thought had liked me and
tired of me, think that I regretted yon? So
you were glad of your work, were you? Ah,
you are very noble, I know, Chris Whelan,
very unselfish, very generous; but your un
selfishness has blasted my life. Your ten
erosity has wronged me grievously."
"Madge!" cried Davis, reproachfully,
"have you no feeling for me that you speak
so ? Have I not been a good husband to
you
9
"I can forgive you," she said quietly.
"that is all. Vou have both wronged me,
but you less than he."
Before either of the men had time to an
swer her another explosion shook the place
where they stood, there was a sound of earth
and stone falling into the water near them,
then the air grew suddenly lighter and a
cool breeze blew in their faces.
Davis gave a cry of relief.
"Look there," he shouted, "we shan't die
this time. See, there's an opening up above,
we are even nearer to the surlace than I
thought Do you see that big boulder that
is uncovered now ? We can climb up that,
and then lift each other up so as to struggle
through the opening. We are saved 1 Cour
age, Madge! Whelan. for heaven's sake
stop looking so tragic ! Don't vou see we are
saved, man ?"
Whelan's face did not clear.
"Come with meamoment,Davie," he said,
"I have something to sav to you."
"Speak before me," said Madge firmly.
"Let us have do more private compacts be
tween you."
"Good," said Whelan, quietly. "Your
husband says we are saved. Don't you see
that only two of us are saved? Who will
help up the third?"
"Good heavens!" said Davis, "I never
thought of that"
"Think of it now," said Chris,still speak
ing very quietly.
"You mean, think which?,
"Yes, that is what I mean."
Perhaps in his heart Whelan felt that it
was his lriend's turn to be generous. Perhaps
he had some hope that Davis might feel the
same; If so, he was to be disappointed. A
man does not grow in unselfishness by liv
ing for-yean in the enjoyment of the results
of a selfish action. A man who will act
meanly at 25 is tolerably likely to act still
more meanly at 30.
"Well," said Davis at length, "the third
of us may be saved, too. We could bring
help."
"Nonsense, the water is rising too fast for
thereto be any chance or help cominc in
time. The onewho remains here must die."
"Well, you know, Chris," said Davis with
a good deal of shame in his voice, but a good
deal of stubborness, too, "I'm a married
man, and I have children, and, now that I
have all this property, I have very heavy
responsibilities; ana really, vou Know,
whenever one hears of a case lite this, it is
always the unmarried man who offers to
stay. I really think it should be you."
'You think so? Suppose we leave it to
your wile to decide."
Davis hesitated. "I think that will be.
hardly fair," he began.
"But I will have it so," said Whelan
sullenly. "If you won't consent I'll refuse
.to help you in any case, and we two will
drown together; but it you will let Madge
decide, I will abide by her decision. "What
do you say?"
,'I suppose I have no choice," said
Davis. "Madge, which of us do you decide
lor?"
"I will not choose," cried Madge pas
sionately. "I only wish it could be I who
should Deleft behind. It should beif I had
.strength to lift one of you and might have
my way. Settle the matter between you.
"You were ready enough to arrange my life
to suit yourselves. But I am less hardy;
. I- dare not take such an awful responsi
bility upon myself. You are mad to think
tfj. could.'
"But, Madge," said Whelan. gently., "if
it is true-that we between us spoiled your
life, can we do more to atone than offer you
this choice now? If we only thought of
ourselves then we want at least I want
only to do what is best for you now.
Choose."
"I will not It is cruel to ask it How can
1 sentence either of yon to death? Ton are
the noblest man I ever knew, but the most
blind and cruel. Tom is my husband, we
have children, we have lived together all
these vears, and and I have grown to love
him. "But yet Oh, Chris! Chris! God for
give you your generosity! But for that I
should have loved a much better man."
Chris drew back. "Come, Davis,!' he
said, "I've got my answer."
They struggled toward the bowlder to
gether, and without much difficulty climbed
to the top of it
Whelan turned to Davis. "Xou. will go
first I suppose, and help Madge from the
lop?"
But Davis had some vague suspicion in
his mind; if he left those two' together he
might never see Madge again.
"No, my wife first," he said.
"You'll let me? I am the stronger, you
know."
Davis nodded.
"Thanks. Now, Madge."
He took her in his arms to raise her, then
paused.
"Goodby," he said, "goodby, Madge. I
think you have been a little hard on me.
I made a great mistake, but I meant well.
I can do no more than say I'm sorry, can I?
Don't you think you might be a little sorry,
too?"
They could see each other plainly now in
the bright light that streamed straight down
upon them. A sudden bewildering chance
rose in Madge's eyes. He looked at her
eagerly. What was in her mind? What
was raising to her lips? Something that
would make life possible even now, or at
least make death sweet?
"Madge," he whispered, "Madge, what
is it?"
"Hallo, hallo! Is anyone alive down
there?"
It was Wyatt's voice, and - Wyatt's good
natured, ugly face peered through the open
ing. "All there! Ah, that's good! Derrick and
I got out all right, so we rushed off and got
a iadder; and now, if you'll just move out
of the way, I'll let it down, and you can all
come out of that uzfy hole as soon as vou
lite."
So in about three minutes the tragedy was
over, and Whelan will never know to his
dying day what it was that Mrs. Davis was
going to say to him.
Some three months later the paper gave a
detailed account of the marriage of Lady
Lily Levison and Chris Whelan, but the
papers said nothing about one little incident
that took place. After the ceremony, when
Chris had gone through all the manifold
promises that a bridegroom makes by order
of the praverbook. he turned to the sweet
little woman who had loved him so long and -1
so laitniuiiy ana made another on his own
account
'Lily, darling, I promise you that I will
never be generous again as long as I live."

THAT ENGINE H006E.
Chief Brown to Ask Select Council! to Re
consider Ita Action.
The engine house site is the main topic of
conversation throughout the Thirty-first
ward. Every real estate agent is watching
a chance to get a dig at his rival, and be
tween them things are interesting. Coun
cilman Nisbet, who has fought for the
engine house from the first, says he does not
care where it is placed so that the people
are satisfied that it is the best location from
all standpoints.
He says that he has been grossly mis
represented in some of the papers. One said
that he would endeavor to have Councils ap
prove the $27,000 purchase, despite Chief
Brown's assertion that it is too nigh in
price; and that every citizen wants it near
his house. He said that he was interested
in having the best site for the purpose, and
that he knew nothing of the choice of Chief
Brown until the latter told him that he had
bought the Glass property. He still thinks
that it is a good location, and, though the
price may be a little high, as good a one
does not seem to be obtainable for the same
money or less. Mr. Nesbit said he had
nothing to do with the deal, and showed a
letter from Chief Brown stating as much.
On the other hand some of the citizens
claim that the $27,000 purchase is too high,
and that other sites could be bought for less.
All will be pleased when the matter is at
settled and the jangle over.
The following is a copy of the letter
Chief Brown will send to" Select Council
Monday on the subject:
On December SO, 18S9. 1 presented a petition
to your honorable body asking for the ap
proval of the purchase of a lot of ground
on Allen avenue. Thirty-first ward, for the
purpose of erecting an engine bonse there
on. At that time I took Into .con
sideration the ordinance, the streets that
were paved, the amount of money aporopriated
for the purchase of the lot, the density of the
population of the ward and the surrounding
neighborhood, the location and the price
thereof. I believe now as I did then that this
lot meets all these conditions, with the excep
tion of the price asked for said lot. And, in
reference to this, I am informed that the price
asked is too high and is more than what simi
lar lots in the neighborhood are selling for on
the market. I have learned that the depart
ment canjpnrchase a lot on the same street,
though not quite as well adapted for the pur
pose of the department, for 51,000 less money.
I wonld therefore ask your honorable body to
reconsider the former resolution, so that the
matter of the purchase of this lot can be open
for f nrther ana f nture negotiations, subject to
your approval as provided for in the ordinance.

IS THE TAI LEGAL?
Heavy Lawyers Battle For and
Against the Savings Banks.
THE DECISION WA'S EESEEVED.
'Judge White Wouldn't Allow a 'Squire to
Say He Blundered.
OTHER GENERAL NEWS OP THE COURT
The arguments in the case of the Dollar
Savings Bank, Germania Bank and Silas
2J". Benham against .the County Commis
sioners and the assessors of the ITirst and
Second wards took place before Judge
Stowe yesterday afternoon. These' suits in
equjty were brought for the .purpose of re
straining the defendants from levying and
collecting a 3-mill tax on the deposits of the
banks, under the act of June 1, 1889.
George W. Guthrie, Esq., argued for "the
plaintiffs, while Deputy Attorney General
Sanderson and County Solicitor Geyer
represented the defense.
The argument was opened. by Mr. Guthrie,
who, after reading the prayer and specifica
tions of the plaintiffs, stated that the Dollar
Savings Bank was incorporated under &
special act to receive deposits and invest'the
same. It is purely a beneficial institution,
having no capital stock, and is under the
guidance of a Board of Trustees. They have
about $13,OQO,000 in deposits.
xne uerman Dane was aiso incorporated
under a special act but has a capital slock
of $150,000 and deposits of $1,760,000. Among
its investments-are- many securities taxable,
under the act of 1889. Silas K. Benham, is
a depositor in one of the banks, and he re
sists the alleged law requiring him to return
the specific amount of his deposits.
Mr. Guthrie argued that in the case of the
Dollar Bank the return wonld be a double
taxation, first on their securities and real
estate, and again on their deposits; while in
the case of the Germania Bank it would be
A TEIPLE TAXATION,
First on their capital stock, then on their
securities and lastly on (heir money depos
its. Mr. Guthrie argued that the Legisla
ture did not intend in drafting snch a meas
ure that there should be an unequal taxa
tion. Such laws would be very burden
some legislation, and in opposition to a
class that has for many years been the care
of wise statesmanship, as they encourage
the. poor to save.
Thus it would he that the poor man, who
has a small amount- of money saved up,
would also be subjected to a double taxa
tion, and to carry out such a thing would.
be.au open violation of the tax law. In sec
tion 25 of the act of '89, it says that if a tax
of 6 mills is paid they shall be exempt from
all other local taxation.
Assistant Attorney General Sanderson
did not make a lengthy argument He read
the acts of 1844 and 1846, showingthat the
stock and security of banks were taxable,
and stated that the poor man in the country
who had his savings invested in his horses
and cows was taxed for them, then why not
the poor man in the city who has his savings
in the bank.
rr is LAWFUL.
Suppose there was a tax levied on depos
its, capital stock, etc., there was nothing in
the law to forbid that He argued that m
the first place it was not a double taxation,
and in the second place if it were it is per
mitted by the Constitution.
S. H. Geyer, Esq., followed Mr. Sander
son, and alter reading the act of 1889 said
that it was constitutional, and the Supreme
Court bad so decided. Therefore the tax on
the Dollar Bank was constitutional, and as
the bank had mortgages of over a
million dollars and should nay tax
on them, it remained with Mr.
Guthrie to show that the act was unconsti
tutional, and if the act were constitutional,
then Silas N. Benham and the Dollar and
Germania banks had no standing in .court
He did not see any use In going away back
into English law to argue' the case when
there was an act of the Legislature covering
the case in fall.
Mr. Guthrie stated that as to Mr. 'Ben
ham's standing in the caseTvhich had been
questioned, the gentleman had a good
standing. He does not refuse to make a
proper leturn for taxation,, but he does re
fuse to make a return of n specific deposit
Mr. Guthrie again reiterated that the banks
are not compelled to return their securities
for taxation" so long as they pay the 6 mill
tax provided for.
Judge Stowe took the papers in the case,
but gave no indication as to when he would
render a decision.
STOPPED BI TAB JUDGE.
'Sqntre Powers Not Allowed to Say an'Ac
knowledgment Was a Stlitoke.
The ejectment suit of John L. Moyer and
wife against the Pennsylvania Eailroad
Company is on trial before Judge White.
The suit is to recover possession of four
acres of land in North Versailles township,
taken by the railroad company. The com
pany claims the right to the land by virtne
of adeed.given to them by John M. Larimee
as attorney in fact for Mower and wife, the
owners of the land. The plaintiffs assert
that the deed is void from the fact that they
never gave Larimee the power ot attorney
'or them, and he bad no right to make the
deed. The power of attorney, however,
signed with the names of Moyer and bis
wife, was on record. Moyer and his wife
assert that the signatures to the document
were forgeries. The power of attorney had
been acknowledged before Squire J. S.
Powers, of Turtle Creek, and he was called
as a witness by the Movers to prove that
they had not signed it
Squire Powers testified that the acknowl
edgement ot the document was a mistake.
He was stopped by Judge White, who said
that it conld not have been a mistake. It
was either a palpable fraud or collusion. He
refused to allow the 'Squire to testify further
as to the invalidity of the power of attorney.
The plaintiffs could introduce other testi
mony as to fraud, but not that of 'Squire
Powers, before whom the acknowledgement
was made. To allow a 'Squire or other per
son neiore wnom a paper is acknowledged to
refute it by saving that such acknowledge
ment was a mistake, would be to destroy the
safety of every legal document
The case continued, Mr. and Mrs. Moyer
positively denying that they had signed-the
paper. They also said that they, bad been
followed persistently by the Pennsylvania
Railroad's agents for several months before
the date of the alleged .power of attorney,
who had tried to induce them to dd the
property to therailroad company. The case
is still on trial.

A View of Cairo The Old and New City
Pleasant Ismailia A Trip on the
Sncz Canal Description
or Port Said. ,
iconassroNPENCB or the pibpatcb.i
Jerusalem, December 6. I express the
sentiments of every member of the party in
saying that we left Cario with many-regrets.
That city has so many points of interest
and is altogether so fascinating a.place that
it seems to me, everybody must leave it af
ter but a short stay like ours, feeling that he
mnst return to it and feast his observation
anew.
Taking individual objects in Cairo, next
to the Boulak Museum, the citadel of the
Mosque of Mehemet All interested me the
most II is a fine structure built ot alabas
ter, and combining, so good judges think,
all the best features of Moorish architecture.
The, view from this wonderful building com
rnnnrla n. KMnn never to be forgotten. A few
miles off stands "'the obelisic of which a
mate is the most valued adornment of
Central Park, New York. The source of
the vast supply ot stones out of which the
Pyramids .were erected is seen in those dis
tant auarries. Beneath one's feet are the my
riad sights and sounds of the great city. Of
all the scene the placid Nile longest detains
the eye.
"VVHEBE.SHE FOUND MOSES.
Bhoda, the island said to have been the
place where Pharaoh's daughter .found
Moses, is viewed "with pleasure on
account of this tradition. Near the city the
country presents a verdant appearance. To
the north are'green fields and a flat expanse
of land. The distant south is desert, begin
ning seemingly where the giants Ghizeh
and Sakkarah raise their venerable heads.
Nearer Cairo .than those pyramids and th'eir
lesser companions are the ruins of Memphis.
Of the inhabitants of Cairo the Moham
medans ere, of course, the most numerous.
What everybody notices who sees Cairo is
the large number of mosques built for the.
faithful, and the earnest piety of follow
ers of the great Arab teacher, who are
always ready to respond when the call to
prayer is heard. The Coptio population is
Christian, and apparently well-to-do, as
they present a superior appearance. uairo
has an old town and a new town. With the
exception of the people one sees, which pre
sent the' same variety of appearance in both,
there is
A QBE AT DIFFERENCE
between the two. New Cairo looks French.
I think this word describes, it the best. It
has wide squares, fountains, gardens, well
watered roads, arcades and rows of neat and
pretty dwelling houses. Old Cairo has nar
row streets, in which one must look keenly
about him to insure his not being roughly
jostled by a sturdy porter, whose load may
be a heavy one of rugs or carpets, vessels
filled with water, or a variety of other
things.
We were hurried from the city some nine
hours before the time when we expected to
leave it, taking the cars at 9 in the morning
by the Egyptian Railroad, bound for Is
mailia. We found this a pleasant place.
Its streets are broad ,and well-paved and
lined with rows of trees' and gardens grate
ful to the sight and cooling and refresh
ing in an eminent degree. To
reach Ismailia we crossed the Land of,
Goshen, in which Dr. Talmage found refer
ences to his Bible in order. It was indeed
interesting to recall the residence of Jthe
Israelites as the honored guests of the Eg'yp
tian King in that fertile land, especially so
as we noticed the contrast it presents still in
its rich and productive soil to the great
str3tcb.es of desert country in close proxim
ity to it
THE TBEASljfcE CITY.
As we rattled along on our journey,
Pithon, the newly excavated treasure city,
was pointed out by one of the party. We
saw, too, the site of the battle of Tel el
Kebir, where is a tiny graveyard the long
home of heroic English officers and soldiers
who fell in that historic battle. Dr. Tal

At Ismailia our craft lay in waiting, an
in a few minutes after we had left the trai
ourselves and baggage were on ooaru. ive
minutes later and we .were off, cutting the
waters of the grand canal constructed iby
the genius of De Lesseps. We made about
15 miles an hour speed on our journey from
Ismailia to Port Said, which occupied four
hours in all. It was early in- the evening
when we reached our destination, disein
barking by torchlight.

Port Said may be described as having
been created by the Suez Canal, onthe west
side of which it lies. It is a city ftf consid
erable population, at least the halt of which
live in a wretched suburb to .the tvest of that
part of the town where the traveler lands.
The city is situated for the greater part on a
strip of low land, treeless andpossessing no
natural features of interest. Geographically
considered, it is interesting, because it
separates the Mediterranean Sea from Lake
Menzaleh.
While there we saw an Egyptian funeral
A procession, consisting of about 20 men. at
tne neaa oi Tvnom were xwo Moslem digni
taries, preceded the corpse, which was car

THE WBUTCHED FELLAH.
I cannot take leave ot Egypt without say
ing something off the wretched .fellah, who
for thousands off years has been the victim
of hard usage. Nothing could be more
pathetic than thro patience of this poor man.
Suffering and ciruelty he takes to be inevita
ble and al matter ot course in
his experience, and never loses
his temper because of such trifles as
those. He dees not like to pay taxes, and
will submit fcrithout grumbling when lamed
for weeks by the bastinado rather than pay
them. Poofr fellow, he never has much and
saves the little he can, excepting as he is
occasionally the victim of an unthrifty im
pulse, "vrynen the great man oi tbe district
approaches the fellahin salaam in mute
reverence before him, and touch their lips
with dusti from the street in token of the'
veneratioln in which they hold him.
The present inhabitant of the delta of the
Nile presents a striking contrast to the dig
nified AJrab, that free son of the desert He
does aiy the hard work of the country and
gets all the kicks.

PENNYSAVINGS BANK
Alfoyel Institution Soon to be Estab
lished in Knoxville,
ON JOHH WANAMAKER'S PET PLAN
An Application for a State Charter to he
Made in a Short Time.
TO HELP WOEKINGHEN TO SATE MONEY
Little Knoxville is daily hunting up some
new thing to play city' with, and a,t each
accession she swells around like a little girl
with her first long dress on. She has ac
quired paved streets, mail carrier services, a
library, etc., and no doubt before long will
deign to ask the city to change its name to
Knoxville instead of vice versa.
The latest new wrinkle is a penny savings
bank and from' present indications it will
not be long before stray pennies will have a
receiver in the borough. The company to se
cure the charter' have already been organ
ized and include some good' men. Their
names are withheld by request It can be
said, however, that the Xand Improvement
Company .have a, fanger in the -pie to a large
extent and are instrumental in its concep
tion and the advancement of the plans thus
far. Most of the stockholders who have al
ready subscribed are residents of the Hill dis
trict, thoagb seme of the down-town finan
ciers are said to be in the deal.
THE CAPITAL 18 8100,000
and as intimated above the bank will be1
run on an entirely new. plan. Sums of aqy
denomination will be received down U a
penny and every effort made to induce the
residents to thus learn to save themites
until they swell to become a snm of import
ance. The plan of the bank's management
and novel departure in taking spiail depos
its is copied from the penny sajings bank,
started by John Wanamaker in Philadel
phia while he was Sunday a
tendent and before he came ti
Bool supenn
be the head of
the Postoffice Department
It was rumored last sumnter that such an
institution was to be staried in Pittsburg
and at the time The Dispatch inter
viewed different bankersAnd financiers and
found a favorable sentijnent toward such an
enterprise. Some doubted that such a bank
could make money, ut none denied the
benefits that would accrue.
THE BENEFpS POINTED OUT.
The Hill district is deemed a good loca
tion for such a bank. The Hill is mainly
the home ofworkingmen at present
and the propaets say that it is des
tined to become wholly so in the
future, or, at least, to a great proportion.
With a bank if their midst there will be a
constant remijrder to.them that the pennies
must not be jfespised. . They will gradually
increase theJamount ot their deposits, and
before lonsf will have a snug sum in the
bank.
Outsidefof the philanthropic bearing the
enterprise has. ou the surface, it will be a
large factor in the convenience of doing busi
ness on the Hill, and will doubtless receive
the support of all tbe bnsiness.men. At the
preseny time a trip has to be made to the
Southside or the city every time any bank
ing isdone, which is a great waste ot time.
The: Dispatch man was informed that
applcation would be made in a very short
for a charter, and the bank: placed in
ation as soon as possible. The promoters.
however, wished to keep it qniet until their
plans were all formed,
LODGES MAI C0MBLNE.
'hreo Councils of tho American Lesion of
Honor Now Figurine.
Unity Council No. 69, American Legion
: Honor, are discussing the idea of consoli
dating with Iron City Council No. 1185, lo
cated in the city. It is thought that' per
haps Southside Council No 108 may also
conclude to consolidate at the same time. It
wonld be a large saving' in hall rent and offi
cers' pay and would make onelarge conncil.
The move has the approval of a good portion
of the membership.
Unity Council has a membership of 35,
and each of the other two have 25 on th'eir
rolls in good standing, Unity and the
Southside councils meet on-the Southside-;
It is probable that should the consolidation
be made the combined' lodge would meet in
tbe city. It is of conrse not yet known
which' lodge will throw np its charter in
favor of-the other, A committee from Unity
Council will confer with one from Iron City

ME. YOHE'S EYIDEICE.
Another 'Notable Test Case is Added
To-Day.
SURPRISED AT THE 'RESULT.
"I presume that my trouble dated back
over two years, but lately it has been more
severe than usual."
The speaker was "Mr. Clemens Yobe, who
resides at 319 Itiverton avenue, McKeesport,
Pa., one of the largest manufacturing towns
on the Baltimore and Ohio Eailroad.
"There was a long timejhat I did not
realize that my trouble was anything more
than a severe cold, or asuccession of colds in
my head principally. My nose would stop up
first on one side and then on the other. There
was a constant ringintr in my ears, and I had
a dull pain across my forehead. My eyes
were weak, and, at times, were very much
inflamed.
"I could feel the mucus dropping back
into my throat, and in the morning I would
have to cough and raise to clear my throat of
the phlegm1 that had accumulated there. I
would frequently have dizzy spells, especial
ly when I iVould stoop over or rise up sud
denly. "Gradnallymy trouble began to grow
worse. My throat became sore and in
flamed. 1 would have sharp pains over my
neart that extended around to the shqulder
blades. 3Iy rest did not refresh me. I would
get up in the morning more tired than when
I went to bed. My nights were the worst
I would lay awake coughing, and often
would have to sit up in bed. Finally my
throat got in such a condition that even
drinking water caused me to suffer pain.
"I began to lose mj appetite. Nothing
tasted good. What I did eat did not seem, to
agree with me. My hearing became affected.
I lost in flesh rapidly. The pain in my
head became severe, and I was never with
out a headache.
Mr. Clemens Yohe, McKeesport.
"At last I realized that I was in a very
serious condition. I was very weak, and
the least exertion seemed to tire me out I
was coughing worse than ever, and pains in
mv chest and side were almost unbearable.
Z r'It was while in this condition that I flrstwent
to see Drs. Copeland and Blair. They did not
promise anything, but I felt that they under
stood my case, so I placed myself under their
caie. The result was far better than I ex
pected. I feel as well as I ever did in my life.
My sleep refreshes me. I have a hearty appe
tite. Hare gained 21 pounds. I have no more
pains in my head and chest. My throat is no
loneer sore, and, as I said before, feel as well
as I ever did."
Mr. Yohe lives, as stated, 319 Blverton ave
nue, McKeesport, Pa. He is a ship caulker by
trade, is well known throngbont that section,
and this Interview can bo easily verified.
MR. BARNES' STORY.
Statement From a Weil-Known Gentleman of
Hickman, Pa.
The statement given below is from one of
the patients residing out of the city vrho
va.3 treated from the office of Drs; Copeland
& Blair. The gentleman in question is Mr.
William Barnes, of Hickman, Pa., a thriv
ing town on . the Pittsburg, Chartiers and
Yonghiogheny Eailroad, abont 15 miles out
from Pittsburg.
During a recent conversation with the
writer, he said: "JPive years ago my trouble
first made its appearance, and it continued to
grow steadily worse until I was at last in a
very serious condition. My head and nose
were first stopped up.and there was a dropping
from my head to my throat. I would get up in
the morning feeling more tired than when I
went to bed the night before. I conld eat but
little, and what I did eat laid like a heavy load
on my stomach.
"At lasc the trouble extended to my chest
There would be sharp pains stabbing like a
knife right over my heart. My lanes became
affected and I had a dry, backing cough. I
grew weaker and weaker and was unable to do
any work. Host all sense of taste and smell.
1 was advised to go to England. I went there,
and spent a great deal of money, but derived
no benefit. 1 became disheartened and hon
estly believed my trouble would soon cause my
death.
'I was advised while in this condition to try
Drs. Copeland & Blair. I had read of tbe
great good thev were doing, so determined to
Bee them.
"The result has been a great surprise to me.
I Improved rapidly from the very first. I soon
regained my sense of smell and taste. I hare
no more tronble with my heart or pains In my
chest. I can eat well and feel refreshed by my
sleep. I can wore all day and feel good at
night. In fact. I am perfectly well. I owe my
recovery, to Drs. Copeland & Blair, and shall be
giaa to speas wiin anyone aooui my case.
Resultof Home Treatment.
Some time ago Mr. Harry Phillips, of
Hulton, Allegheny county, Pa., com
menced a course of home treatment for his
catarrhal trouble, under the care of- Drs.
Copeland & Blair.
At that time- his trouble had assumed a
very aggravated form. He stated to the
writer as follows:
"My nostrils wonld clog up. My head ached
constantly. I had severe pains in my chest.
There was a dropping of mucus from my head
to my throat. I had night sweats. My heart',
would palpitate rapidly, and be followed by a
slow, irregular beating andteellngof faintness.
I was daily growing weaker. Tbe slightest ex
ertion tired me and I was unfit for work." .
"How do you feel now V
"Like anotber being. All tbe symptoms 1
have described to you have disappeared, and 1
feel as well as I ever was in my life."
Last May Miss Lottie J. Forker, ot 259 Arch
street. Meadvllle, Pa., placed herself nnder
treatment by mail with Drs. Copeland & Blair
for ber catarrhal trouble.
On Jnne 9 she wrote : "Tour medicine Is do
ing me good. I do not feel so tired, and my,
neaaacnes nave ceasea.--
August 20 her letter stated: "I feel quite
like a different woman from the one 1 was when
I commenced ynur treatment."
Mr. M. C. Wilson, who commenced using the
home treatment early in July, wrote on the
25th. ot the same month : "I am improving
steadily; feel much bett than I have for years
past."
Augnst IS he wrote ; "I am feeling tike a dif
ferent being from tbe one I was when 1 com
menced your treatment, and am glad to be able
to make this statement."

To tbo Select and Common Councils of the
