MICHIGAN'S BENEFACTOR.
AN OPT REPEATED STORY OF TRUE
PHILANTHROPY.
Whnt Chna. 11. Ilarklor Una Done for
We.tern Michigan.
(From Grand Rapids, Mich., Evening Press.)
The raot beautiful spot In nil this city Is
inseparably associate! with tho name of
Hackloy. Chas. 11. Hackloy has been In tho
lumber business hero continuously slnoo
1R56. and iu that timo has amassed n fortune
which fflves him n rating among tho wealthy
mon of tho nation. But with wealth thero
did not come that tightening of tho purse
strings which Is generally n marked charac
teristic of wealthy men.
It Is no wondor then that tho namo of
Charles 11. Hackloy is known at homo and
abroad. His muniflcenco to Muskegon
nlono represents an outlay of noarly half a
■million. For tho past twenty years ho has
been a constant sufferer from neuralgia and
rheumatism, a'so numbness of tho lower
limbs, so much so that It has seriously Inter
fere I with his pleasure in life. For some
time past his friends hnvo noticed that ho
has Buomnd to grow young again and to
have recovered tho health which he had in
youth.
To a 'reporter for tho News Mr. Hackloy
explained the secret of this transformation.
"I have suffered for over 20 years,' 1 ho said,
"with pains In my lower limbs so severely
that the only relief I could get at night was
by putting cold water compresses on my
limbs. I was bothered more at night than
in the day timo. The neuralgio and rheu
matic pains in my limbs, which had been
growing iu intensity for years, finally be
came chronio. I made three trips to the
Hot Springs with only partial relief, and
then fell back to my original state. I
couldn't sit still, and my sufferings began to
make iny life look very blue. Two years ago
last Hoptember I noticed an account or Dr.
Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People and
what they had douo for others, and some
cases so nearly resembled mine that I was
interested, so I wrote to one who had given
u testimonial, an eminent professor ormusio
In Canada. The reply I received was even
stronger than the printed testimonial, and It
gave me faith in the medicine.
"I began taking tho pills and found them
lo be nil that tho professor hud told mo they
would bo. It was two or throo months be
fore I experienced any perceptible better
ment of my condition. Mv disease was of
such long standing that I did not expect
speedy recovery an t was thankful oven to
bo relieved. 1 progressed rapidly, however,
towards recovery and lor tho Inst six months
have felt myself a perfectly well man. I
have recommcnaed tno pills to many people
and nm only too glad to assist others to
health through tho medium of this wouder
ful medicine. I cannot say too much for
whnt it has done for me."
Dr. Williams' Pink Pills contnin all the
elements necessary to give new life and rich
ness to the blood an I restore shattered
nerves. They are for stile by all druggists,

A VOICE FROM THE NIGHT. |
O heron, from tho lonoly shoro
Unceasingly thy cry,
111-boding, dismal, harsh,
Arises through tho mist of night
That gathers deep and cold and whlto
Upon tho silent marsh,
Dim, drifting shrouds that foldod lio
Around mv door.
What shadow of tho future's noods
Dismays thy simple heart,
Poor dweller in tho fog?
What evil spirit of unrest
Disturbs the quiet of thy nest
Beyond tho tussocked bog?
Do demons even ply their art
Among tho roods?
Perhaps thy bright-oyod mate is led
Across tho winding creek,
Bolatod, tired of wing.
Then grieve not! Soon thy loving note
As beacon's blaze to storm-tossed boat
Tho wanderer will bring.
O heron, can the words I speak
Recall the dead?
O heron on the lonely shoro,
The east is grny above ;
Thy watch Is well nigh done,
And gentle dawn will bring thee sloop,
While I my ondloss vigil keep,
Unwelcoming the sun;
For she, my light, my life, my love,
Will come no more.

ON EVEN TERMS.
OU nppoar to forgot
that this fellow
jj j Vaughan has the
C O reputation of being
ono °* " le mos * d 0 8"
P era '° criminals that
evel s ' e PP e< t- 'King
tho Coiners' he is
rightly name.!; bnt
' '▼ it is chiefly because
he is at tho head of
a dangerous gang. And because, by
a lucky chance, you have found out
that ho is living in private lodgings
under an assumed name, makes it
none tho less risky for us two alono to
attempt his capture."
It was in a decidedly dissatisfied
touo that Mr. lloche, tho deteotive,
urged upon his superior officer the
hazardous nature of tho business they
were upon; but Arnold Bond merely
smiled good hamoredly as ho re
sponded :
"Whatever risk there may be,
Roche, I think I shall face. And as I
expect to tako our man entirely by
surprise, iu tho very bosom of his
family, I don't uuticipato muohrosist
anco. Still, lam prepared for it, and
don't think that ho will easily givo us
tho slip. For tho rest, you will simply
carry out my instructions."
Tho two detectives knooked at tho
door of an unpretentious looking
house in a quiet street of'the east end
of London.
Almost immediately, a respectablo
looking woman opened tho door, and,
stepping back, said, boforo Bond could
speak:
"Ah, sir. I don't believe they ex
pected you again to-night; but it's
well you've come, for tho poor mito is
very bad, they say."
With the ever ready wit of ashrowd
deteotive, qniok to tako advantage of
tho slightest error, Bond instantly
checked tho exclamation of surprise
which sprang instinctivoly to his lips,
and, stepping in, quietly observed:
"Indeed I I am sorry to hoar that.
Our usual friend could not oomo him
self, bnt, as his partner, 1 thought it
advisahlo to look in again. Let mo
see—Mrs. Sutton, second flloor, is it
not ?"
Neither of tho detectives scarco ven
turod to breathe as they anxiously
waited to see the result of this rather
haphazard remark.
"Oh, I took you for Dr. Dalton his
solf, sir! Yos, second floor. It's
rather dark, hut I darosay you can
find your way up. Lor' I I nover
knowod boforo as how tho doctor had
a partner."
"This gentleman is merely a friond
of mine. If you don't mind, ho will
wait for mo in tho passage. I don't
suppose I shall bo many minutes,"
Bond said, inwardly chuckling with
sntisfaotiou at tho lucky mistake which
had, undoubtedly, saved him and his
companion no little at tho outset.
Leaving his subordinate—who had
previously received careful instruc
tions—Arnold Bond, with heart beat
ing a little faster than usual, cautiously
mounted tho dark, narrow staircaso
and tapped at a closed door facing
him.
ThoD, without waiting for any
reply, ho instantly opened it, and as
quickly stepped into the room and
shut tho door after him again.
"Surrender yourself my prisoner.
Michael Vaughan, alias ltalph Sut
ton," he said, sternly, as a tall,
bearded man sprang hastily to his
feet with a startled exclamation, and
confronted him.
A momentary panze; then, with an
oath, tho coiner snutched up a chair,
and raising it above his head, was
about to hurl it at tho detective; but
as quickly dropped it, as his eye
rested ou tho revolver Bteadily levelled
at him.
"Trapped!" ho ejaculated, savagely,
glaring at the officer. "And in this
torn fool fashion, too. But thero's
treachery here," he added, fiercely,
"aud if I—"
"Michael, Michael," interposed a
woman's voice, in pleading tones,
"you're forgetting poor little Jess.
You know tho doctor said she must be
kept perfectly quiet."
"Ah, Jess, poor mite," said the
coiner. "No, wonder I forgot every
thing, when Bond himself jumped up
before mo like magio! Well, I'm
fairly nabbed; but if it wasn't for
her," he added, with a bitter empha
sis, pointing to a bed in a corner of
tho room, "you'd never tako ®io in
this squeamish fashion."
The bod was occupied by n little
girl of about six years of age, who, it
needed no second glance to perceive
was very near to death indeed. Sho
was wide awake, staring in mute ter
ror from the detective to her father
and back again. Nor did the white
face of the coiner's wife, who stood
trembling by the bedside, express
much less alarm than the child's.
"Let's clear out boforo you frighten
my voung 'un to death," said the
coiner, in a quieter voice. "Never
mind, Joss," he wont on, turning to
the child and speaking in such a ten
der and soothing tone that Bond
stared with astonishment, "Perhaps,
soon, I shall come back, and then
you'll bo better, and we will—"
Vaughn's voice faltered, and he
paused.
"Ah, take him away, sir, but don't
hurry him over what he very well
knows must be tho last goodby he'll
ever say to his child! What hope
there may have been you'll take with
you but to take it at this moment—"
The wretched mother, unable to ar
ticulate another word, sank into a
chair, hid her face in her hands, and
gave way to a sudden outburst of
grief.
"Is tho geutloman going to take
you away, then, daddy?" the child
said freely. "Oh, don't go ! Ido so
want you to-night." Then looking at
tho detective with great, earnest eyes,
little Jess continued, half indignant
ly, half pathetically: "How would
your little girl like you to bo taken
away if she was ill, and wanted you to
stop with her dreadfully bad?"
An involuntary smile gathered for
ono brief instant on the stern counte
nance of Bond.
"It's truo, worse luck," whispered
the coiner, stepping near his captor.
"Poor little beggar, she's mighty bad,
and the dootor says the next low hours
means lifo or death. More'n anything
she's got to be kept particular quiet,
so let's clear out and leave 'em; and,
please God, I'll see her again yet.
Yes, my prince of traps, you can see
what makes me such a misorablo cow
ard, eh?"
As if ashamed of the tremor in his
speech, the coiner turned, and, tak
ing down his hat, crushed it upon his
bead and approached tho door with a
rigid countenanco and twitching lips.
Apparently, ho dared not trust him
self to tnke even a farowoll look at his
child. But, as Arnold Bond moved
toward tho door also, his glance fell
for uu instant upon tho thin, white
face of little Jess, who had already
fallen back exhausted.
She was gazing steadily at her
father, who, however, kept his face
carefully averted. The pitiful, plead
ing expression in the sick child's eyes
struck tho detectives to tho heart, for
it was a look which expressed more
eloquently than any words the bitter
disappointment she felt at seeing one
Bho evidently denrly loved about to bo
takon from her this night of all
nights.
The detective paused abruptly, hes
itated a moment, and then the reso
lute expression on his features soft
ened suddonly, and ho said, in a half
jocular tone, to hide the emotion ho
could not entirely concoal:
"Stay, Vaughan; I can't do it after
all. I can't take such a cruel advan
tage of even you at a time like this!
That's all and good night."
"Bond, Bond," cried the king of
the coiners, springing forward as ho
recovered from his momontary stupe
faction, "Heaven prosper you for this!
Bad as I am, I hope I'll bo ablo to givo
you your reward for this, if it's years
to come."
A moment later the detective hud
gone. He had sacrificed an opportu
nity of adding enormously to his rep
utation.
It was a year later beforo the author
ities succeeded in discovering the "fac
tory" where Vuughun and his confed
erates turned out the cleverly made
counterfeit coins which had so long
been passed with impunity in most
quarters of the metropolis.
But after infinite trouble Bond
found out all ho wanted to know, and
ono night ho surrounded with his men
the counterfeiter's den.
Bond got within a few feet of tlio
door, and was already thinking how
neatly ho had managed everything,
when suddonly, and without the slight
est warning, tho whole floor seemed
to cavo in beneath his feet; and as he
threw out his arms with a startled
cry, tho trap ho had unoousciously
sprung turned completely over and
throw him into u largo well-lighted
cellar below. Before ho could rise
some seven or eight men had soazed
him, and amidst a storm of oaths and
threats, bound him hand and foot,
despite his strenuous struggles.
"You fools!" cried Bond, exasper
ated beyond measure. "Let mo tell
you tho game is up! My men sur
round the j)lace, and this little joke
will only mako matters a great deal
worse for you. You'd better—"
"Joke," repeated ono of the coin
ers, with a lierce laugh. "Well, wo'll
see. What say you, boys? What says
our oath?"
"Doath to tho trap who bowls us
out?" auawored a burly, villainous
looking follow. "Surrounded wo may
bo, but what of thnt? Haven't wo
moans for gottiug away through tho
burrow at tho llrst alarm?"
"Ayo, but not if wo stand chucking
precious minutes away in empty talk,"
interrupted another of tho gang.
"Quick, pals! Hero's an end to our
snug little business, and so lot's make
an end of this interfering sneak be
fore we cut. Tho traps outsido may
smell a rat if ho doesn't soon give 'em
the cue."
Without another word one of tho
coiners stepped up to tho prostrate
officer and, with a savage exelamma
tion slipped the nooso of a rope over
Bond's head and drew it uncomforta
bly tight round his nock. Another
of the desperate crew at once threw
the other end of the rope ovor one of
tho beams which supported tho Ador
ing above.
Tho detective now recognizod to tho
full extent the really serious nature
of his position; and, half dazed by
the terrible calamity which had so
suddenly befallen him, was giving up
all hopo of escape, when for tho first
time the leader of tho gang—Michael
Vaughan—himself spoke.
"Leave him to me, lads, and get
you along while you may. There's
not a jiffy to lose. Hark ! hear tho
traps! They'ro breaking in already."
"We don't go until we'vo choked
tho life out of tho rat. Who's put
'em on our trail? Run him up sharp
and have him a pleasant surprise to
his friends," replied one of tho ruf
fians. >
With these words tho unfortunate
officer was jorked off his feet, but at
the same moment Vaughau snatched
up a formidable knife and at a single
stroke severed the rope above liisihead.
"I'm with you, Mr. Bond," ejacu
lated Vaughan, with grim determina
tion stamped upon his white face.
' 'Aha! see how my mutinous ci ew
sink back from your bulldogj And
by all that's lucky for us both, here
come your men. Another minute's
delay and I reckon it would have gone
a bit hard for us both."
Almost before he had finished
speaking the long cellar-like room be
came for a short space a scene of des
perate struggling, tho walls echoing a
chorus of savage cries and shouts.
Of all tho members of the gang their
loader alone offerod no resistance, but
lapsed into moody silence.
Only when tho opportunity offered
did ho whisper in tho detective's ear—
"You see, I haven't forgotten what
I onoe promised, sir, although you
only had a smasher's word for it.
Perhaps you didn't know it, but I
reckon you had the life of my little
Jess in your hands that night a year
ago, and maybe you'll agree now that
I've paid a fair price for it. As for
me—but there, we're on even terms
onco more."—London Tit-Bits.
A Deiense of Dirt.
Every few years somebody raises
the question whether St. Paul's Cathe
dral in London ought not to be cleansed
from the soot with which it is en
crusted, and restored to something
like its primitive whiteness. Some
time ago an experiment of the sort
was made op one of tho porticos, which
forthwith assumed a mottled or pie
bald appearance. Now the matter has
come up for discussion again, and the
following interesting point is made in
a letter to the Times by a well known
architect: "I have had the opportu
nity, when examining some of our
Loudon stone-faced 'churches, of re
moving the coat of dirt with a view of
seeing the condition of the stone un
der it, and have found it to bo perfect.
Tho casing of dirt nppearcd to be made
chiolly of road dust which had adhered
to the stone (only tho outer coat of all
being gray black). All the deleterious
chomicals must have gone out of tho
lower layer, so that the dirt was a per
fect protection. If it woro all cleaned
off, the stono would bo subjected to
tho strong chemicals in our London
atmosphere. It must bo remembered
that this dirt only adheres to the parts
which are not completely washed by
tho rain, aud that it is just these parts,
therefore, which are in most need of
protection. If at some futuro timo
the atmosphere of London should be
as pure as tho atmosphere of tho coun
try is now, it might be wise to act on
the suggestion, but until that timo
comes I sincerely trust that no suoh
experiment will be made."—Washing

By Balloon.
Perhaps the North Polo may bo
reached in a balloon. The question
has Veen mooted and may be carried
out in tho near future. A balloon
with a cubic contents of 50,000 feet
aud capable of lifting twenty tons,
furnishod with a number of "smaller
balloons containing a roservo supply
of hydrogen, Wigdd certainly seem to
give every promise of success. The
balloon would carry five men, with
baggage, a number of Eskimo dogs,
several boats aud a large sledgo. It is
calculated that from Spitsbergen,
where the trip will bogin, tho air cur
rents which blow stoadily from tho
south, will carry them across the
Arctic circlo and directly over the
North Pole in a flight of about four
days' duration. Thus, instead of as
sisting to destroy human life, tho mil
itary balloon may be tho means of tho
discovery of a new continent, proviug
onco more that "tho glory of a scien
tific invention is its utility to man
kind."—Boston Herald.
The Sham l-'ight Was Getting Serious
A volunteer sham fight took place
recently in England. During the re
treat a Scotch volunteer, in scramb
ling through some bushes, stuck fast
in a hedge. One of the advancing foe,
seeing the situation, for n joke came
•toward tho unfortunate volunteer at
full charge with the bayonet fixed and
a ferocious look on his face. The poor
fellow in tho hedge, seeing tho threat
ening aspect of affairs, bawled out at
tho top of his voice.

Tho great continent of Asia," to
which so much attention is given just
now, is remarkable for many things,
but it is especially noteworthy in re
spect of its peoples. In the first
place, it was tho cradle of tho human
raco; secondly, it contains many moro
people—150,(1110,000 more, say some

Dr. PIERCE'S
Golden Medical
DISCOVERY
Cures Ninety-eight per cent, at all
cases of Consumption, in all Its
Earlier Stages.
Although by many believed to he incura
ble, there is the evidence of hundreds of
living witnesses to the fact that, in all its
earlier stages, consumption is a curable
disease. Not every case, but a large per
centage of eases, and we believe, fully 9S
per cent, are cured by Dr. Pierce's Golden
Medical Discovery, even after the disease
has progressed so far as to induce repeated
bleedings from the lungs, severe lingering
cough with copious expectoration (includ
ing tubercular matter), great loss of flesh
and extreme emaciation and weakness.
Do you doubt that hundreds of such cases
reported to us as cured by "Golden Med
ical Discovery " were genuine cases of that
dread and fatal disease ? You need not take
our word for it. They have, in nearly every
instance, been so pronounced by the best
and most experienced home physicians,
who have 110 interest whatever in mis
representing them, and who were often
strongly prejudiced and advised against
a trial of "Golden Medical Discovery,"
but who have been forced to confess that
it surpasses, in curative power over this
fatal malady, all other medicines with
which they are acquainted. Nasty cod
liver oil and its filthy "emulsions" and
mixtures, had been tried in nearly all these
cases and had either utterly failed to bene
fit, or had only seemed to benefit a little for
a short time. Extract of malt, whiskey,
and various preparations of the hypopho'a
phites had also been faithfully tried in vain.
The photographs of a large number of
those cured of consumption, bronchitis,
lingering coughs, asthma, chronic nasal
catarrh and kindred maladies, have been
skillfully reproduced in a book of 160
pages which will be mailed to you, on re
ceipt of address and six cents in stamps.

both fathor and mother are down you may
as well close tho shutters. Ordor is brought
out ot chaos often very easily, and Mrs.
John Mulin, of South Butte, Mont., Feb. 17,
1803, found an easy way out of her diffi

and I took very bad rheumatism from severe
colds, and my arms were so lame 1 could not
raise them to help myself. I sent at once
for a bottle of St. Jacobs Oil, and before tho
bottle was half empty I could go about my

George Pigg and tho Pig.
A few years ago a Kentucky grand
Jury brought In tho following indict
ment: Lawrence Criminal Court, Com
mon wealth of Kentucky against ,
defendant.. Indictment. The Grand
Jury of Lawrence Cou'nty, in the namo
and by the authority of tho Common
wealth of Kentucky, accuse of tho
offense of malicious mischief, commit
ted us follows: The said , on the
day of ,A. I). 18—, in tho county
and circuit aforesaid, did unlawfully,
willfully and maliciously kill and de
stroy one pig, the personal property of
George Pigg, the said pig being of
value to the aforesaid George lMgg.
The pig Just killed weighed about
twenty-five pounds, and was a mate to
some other pigs owned by said George
Pigg, which left George Plgg a pig less
than he (said George Plgg) had of pigs,
and thus ruthlessly tore said pig from
the society of George Pigg's other pigs
against the peace and dignity of the
Commonwealth of Kentucky.—Courier-
Journal.
In a recent nrt'olc on Coffee and Cocoa, the
eminent German Chemist, Professor Stutzer,
speaking of tho Dutch process of preparing
Cocoa by the addition of potash, and of tho
process common in Germany in which ammo
nia is added, says: "The only result of these
processes is to make the liquid appear turbid
to tho eye of the consumer, without effecting
a real solution of the Cocoa substances. This
artificial manipulation for the purpose of so
called solubility l, therefore, more or less in
spired by deception, and always takes place at
the cost of purity, pleasant taste,useful notion
and aromatic flavor. The treatment of < 'ocoa
by such chemical means is entirely objection
able. . . . Cocoa treated with potash or
ammonia would be entirely unsalable but for
the supplementary addition of artificial flavors
by which a poor substitute for the aroma
driven out into the air is offered to the con
sumer." The delicious Break.ast Cocoa niado
by Walter Baker & Co., of Dorchester, Mass.,
is absolutely pure and soluble. No chemicals,
or dyes, or artificial flavors are used in it.
The Size of Him.
Paddy lias been telling the story of a
big pike he caught—too big to get into
the boat, so that ho had to bo towed be
hind (with the gaff in it, it must be un
• derstood). Then followed this dia
i logue:
"What weight, Paddy?"
"Dlvil a know I know, but he was an
ojous baste."
"Was that the biggest you ever saw,
' Paddy?"
Then a description of the biggest.
"What weight, Paddy?"
■ "Sorra a bit I know—he was a terror."
"How big, Paddy?"
"Sure, I can't tell to a fut or two, but
a man could walk down his throat."
On this incredulity; but Paddy
i "clinched the matter and silenced all
controversy" by adding: "Wid his hat
j on."
