THURSDAY, MAHC1I 9. 1899
00R COUNTRY : First, Last and Forever.
Thk Hkiiald's three "K's" Head
able, Reliable and Respectable.
Popk Lko's poem ou how to be
healthy and live to be old increases in
practical value as the years run by.
TnBRK were 172 ocean disasters in
the year 1808, not counting those in
whloh Moutojo and Cervera took
part.
Schuylkill and Luzerne counties
are figuring quite prominently at
Harrisburg these days and not very
creditable, either.
TilKRK is ample assurances that
the Legislative investigating com
uiittee, unlike others that have pre
ceded it, will use no whitewash.
It looks like Tom Piatt sold Gov
ernor Roosevelt several gold bricks,
All the bills -which the latter favors
are tied up in the New York Legisla
ture, and everybody knows "Me Too"
Piatt controls that body.
The brief synopsis of the annual
report of Mine Inspector Stein, pub
lished in our edition of last evening,
was .read with a great deal of interest
by those employed in and about the
mines. It is certainly creditable both
to the Inspector and those in charge
of the operations that twenty-six per
cent, less fatal accidents occurred last
year than in 1807, and one less non
fatal accident.
The Pennsy's" Report.
The annual report of the Pennsyl
vania Railroad Company shows that
the affairs of this great corporation
are in a most prosperous condition.
The facts and figures of the report
are most interesting and instructive,
and show that the olllcinls of the
company have displayed business
ability of the highest order in the
management of the great interests
committed to their care.
Extensive improvements have been
made in straightening main lines, in
creasing the number of tracks in im
portant sections and improving
stations at terminal points in large
cities, among others the ferry stutlon
at Delaware river. Other large opera
tions of similar kind are planned at
terminal stations in Hew York, Pitts
burg and elsewhere.
Everything indicates not only a
conservative policy in many things,
but a wide-awake comprehension of
the business demands for essential
improvements in order to the greater
accommodation of the public and the
more rapid transaction of business.
Compulsory Voting.
Mr. Grady has introduced'a bill in
the Senate at Harrisburg providing
for compulsory voting, any citizen
neglecting to exercise his right of
franchise without good cause being
subject, under the terms of the meas
ure, to a fine of five dollars, which
shall go into the public school fund.
Perhaps the spirit which prompts
tlifs measure is wise, butitis not clear
that the proposed law would be of
any practical benefit. A good citizen
will never neglect to cast his vote,
while all the laws that the Legisla
ture might pass could not reform a j
bad citizen, 'who would contirfue to
be undesirable, even though he cast
Ilia vote td save the amount of the
fine.
Voting is a precious privilege,
valued by all lovers of free popular
government. The man who values
Ills citizenship will never forego this
privilege, and the man who does not
cannot by any law be made to dis
charge his duties as a citizen in the
comprehensive manner which is to be
desired. He may vote, but he will
vote without interest, mechanically,
listlessly, like a machine. Votes so
cast are more dangerous to the state
than votes withheld.
True, the man who enjoys all the
privileges of citizenship and refuses
to discharge the one supreme duty Is
rather a drag on the state, but that is
one of the things which a free gov
ernment must submit to.

It possible for the coal roads which own

fire was evidently applied to it and
slugs were fired into the more vital
parts. Finally his body was cut open

A Good Paymaster
Starts Not At
Assurances."
There is one good pay
master who is around on time,
gives full value, and never
fails in his duty. It is your
privilege to select him, and
his name is pure, wholesome
blood. This paymaster makes
the rounds of the body, visits
brain, stomach, kidneys, liver,
heart and head alike. Hood's
Sarsaparilla acts as a guaran
tor that this paymaster will
do his duty.
If the blood is impure, it cannot do its
duty, and you are the sufferer, but
you need not be. Hood's Sarsaparilla
purifies, vitalizes and enriches the blood.
It never disappoints.
Poor Health "I never saw anything
beat the way Hood's Sarsaparilla lifted me
up. It sharpened my appetite and gave ma

TAKE DR. GREENER NERVURA
Tiie Best Spring Heine in the World.
If time is one thing which the people have proved, It li the abtolute necessity
-f Inking n spring medicine during the trying changes of the spring months. Spring
nlwais finds the system debilitated and Impaired, the blood lmpoverlihcd and Impure,
UIU MCI ten tuctlh HUM ICmAlU, Mil' Ul.lll
clogged and Inactive, In fact the whole sys
tem run down and more or less out of order.
Everybody, therefore, need a spring
remedy, and what people should take Is the
best purifying nnd moRt strengthening med
icine possible, like Dr. Greene's Nervura
blood nnd nerve remedy. Ily this means
only can they Insure themselves poiltlvelv
against the weakening and debilitating ef
fects of spring. Dr. Greene's Nervura
blood and nerve remedy, because of Its great
purifying and blood enriching properties Is
the greatest of blood builders. It Is the
most strengthening and Invigorating restor
ative for blood, nerves and body, and by Its
gentle nnd healthful effects arouses the stom
ach, liver and kidneys from their sluggish
and inactive condition. It Is the one true,
Ideal sprint; medi

fectly harmless, and
nlwnys makes the
weak strong and

the best possible
spring remedy to
take.

Tho Gould mnnkniTitl Crto.
Albany, Mnrch 0. The taking of evi
dence was concluded yesterday lu the
trial of Mrs. Marguret Cody, charged
with attempting to blackmail the heirs
of Jny Gould. In the rebuttal the prose
cution called Mrs. Mary Angell, the al
leged wife of .Tny Gould. She testified
that she never saw Jay Gould! that she
never told Mrs. Cody that she was mar
ried to Jay Gould. Mrs. Cody had
promised her $5,000,000 It the suit
against the Goulds was successful, she
said. Mrs, Angell's husband testified In
much the same lino.
PARSNIP COMPLEXION.
It does not require an expert to detect the
sufferer from kidney trouble. The hollow
cheeks, the sunken eyes, the dark, puffy
circles under the eyes, the sallow parsnip
colored complexion indicates it.
A physician would ask if you had rheuma
tism, a dull pain or ache in the back or over
the hips, stomach trouble, desire to urinate
often, or a burning or scalding in passing it
if after passing there is an unsatisfied feeling
as if it must be at once repeated, or if the
urine' has a brick dust deposit or strong odor.
When these symptoms are present, no
time should be lost in removing tbe cause.
Delay may lead to gravel, catarrh of the
bladder, inflammation, causing stoppage, and
sometimes requiring the drawing of the
urine with instruments, or may run into
Bright's Disease, the most dangerous stage of
kidney trouble.
Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Koot,- the great dis
covery of the eminent kidney and bladdei
specialist, is a positive remedy for such dis
eases. Its reputation is world-wide and it is
so easy to get at any drug store that no one
need suffer any length of time for want of it.
However, if you prefer to first lest its
wonderful merits, mention Evening Herald
and write to Dr. Kilmer & Co.. Binghamton,

New York, March 9. Thomas Donald
son, of Bath Beach, U I., known the
world over ns a chninplon high diver,
dove from the roof of Mndlion Sipinre
Garden, a distance jf 8." feet, yesterday
afternoon, with probably fntnl results.
Dounldson traveled for some years
with Barnum & Bnllcy, nnd hns been
the stnr nttrnctlou nt the sportsmen's
show, now running In the Garden, He
has been making two dives dally. The
tnnk is less than right feet deep, and
on two or three foWier occasions Don
aldson did not bnve the success expected
and came out of the water with hemor
rhages from the nose nnd ears.
Ilnrry Cornish hns charge of the water
sports, and It was he who gave Don
aldson the Bignnl to dive. Three thou
sand persons were present nnd saw the
famous diver lean from the platform,
and, falling slowly forward, mnkp tho
plunge. Ho shot strnlght downward,
hut It was plain before he hnd got half
the distance that he had lost control of
his body. He struck the water head
first, mid fulled to come up. Small
circles of blood come bubbling up from
the bottom, nnd Harry Iteeder, the ama
teur champion swimmer and an attache
of the Garden, plunged Into the water.
The man dived several times, and finally
Iteeder brought Donaldson to the stir
face. He was apparently dead, with
blood flowing from tils mouth, nostrils
nnd ears, and from wounds on the head.
Donaldson was carried to one of the
dressing rooms and attended by several
physiclnns. He was then removed to tho
New York hospital. He has n fractured
skull, with compression of the brnln.
nnd tho left side of his face Is crushed in.
The surgeons at the hospital say that his
death is only a question of hours.
Donaldson was 45 years of age. Just
before making this dive he said he in
tended to challenge Kearney T. Speedy,
the champion high diver of the world.

of that name, and whose trial on tin;
charge of attempting to poison her hus
band began on Mondny Inst, was yester
day sentenced to live years' penal servi
tude. As she was leaving tho court
toom the prisoner made a futile attempt
to commit suicide by stabbing herself
with a bnt pin.
The convicted woman s demeanor was
smiling nud nonchalant, even while the
advocate general pressed home the proofs
of her guilt and of the sordid nnd shame
ful character of her married life, and
showed her motives to commit the 'crime
in her vanity aud love of pleasure and
society.
Her counsel made a powerful appeal
on her behalf, dwelling strongly upon the
conflicting medical testimony and upon
the lack of motive.
The public, having expected nn acquit
tal, was taken completely by surprise by
a verdict of "guilty, with extenuating
circumstances."
