THE CUKE OF DIABETES.
A Caae Successfully Treated In Madison
County, N. Y.
Protn the Press, Utica, N. Y.
On the recommendation of Mr. William
Woodman, of South Hamilton, New York,
that Mr. Amos Jaquays, A resident of Colum
bus Centre, New* York, be Interviewed re
garding his extraordinary recovery from ad
vanced kidney trouble, embracing diabetes
in its worst form, Mr. Jaquays was visited
aud willingly made the accompanying state *
ment:
''l am fifty years of ago, and five years ago
began to suffer witli pulns iu the hack and
weakness Jn the region of the kidneys, aud I
had a tremendous flow of urine. Strange to
oay, my appetite increased to an extraordin
ary degree, but instead of giving me strength
my food seemed to make me weaker ana
thinner, and I was terribly constipated. My
mouth was pasty, I had continuous heart
burn and pain across the lower part of my
stomach and frequent vomiting. Indeed,
all, or nearly all, my functions became
impaired, my sight was dim, memory de
serted me, and life becutue irksome. 1 con
sulted the best medical taleut iu the county,
and they all diagnosed my cose as sugar dia
betes in its most aggravated form, but gave
me no relief whatever. At last 1 was in such
a desperate condition that a council of phy
sicians was called, hut their good offices did
me no good, and I looked forward to death
with satisfaction as the only relief 1 could
expect.
"My old friend, William Woodman, about
this tifne came to visit me. aud from him I
llr*t heard of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, which
he declared had cured him of rheumatism,
with which he had suffered all his life, and
he believed they would do me good, as he
had read of a case of diabetes being cured by
their use. I believe it was next day after
Mr. Woodman's visit that Mr. F. Hyde, of
South Hamilton. New York, called on me.
and I was told by him that Pink Pills had
saved his life aud he advised me by all means
to try them.
"This settled the quostion, and I at once
began a course of home treatment with Dr.
Williams' Pink Plils. Within a week the
meJieino began to do its work, the constipa
tion was relieved, my skin, which bad been
dry and hard, assumed its normal feel and
appearance, 1 no longer hail that insuffer
ably bad taste in my mouth, and though still
weak and almost helpless, the pain iu my
back and kidneys began to abate and the
flow of urine decreased. But I was far from
health, and built very few hopes on perman
ent cure, though I continued to take the
pills constantly for the next year and a half,
growing slowly but surely during that time
better and betler. Then I began to re luce
the daily dose, and kept mending until six
mouths ugo, when I discontinued them, and
I was entirely cured.
"I am still subject to cold, which Is apt to
settle in my kidneys, aud always keep Pink
Pills by ine, as they bring me round very
quickly. In all, I have, I believe, taken
ilfty boxes of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, and
sbalt never be without them as long us I have
half a dollar. I have recommended them to
all my suffering friends, aud they seem to be
good lor anv disorder of the system, as they
have never failed to do thfcir work in any
case that I know of, and some wore pretty
"I certify the above statement to be true
in every particular, and if I commanded
stronger language, I would use it in praising

THE HOLLY=SPRIG SPOON
tPiIM winter, when it
fell at Osceola, fell
with amplitude. If
you stood on the
upper bridge —a
high, open bridge—
you saw the canal
stretching far up
and down, a level
trench of snow, its whiteness em
phasized here and there by a
patch of brown earth showing
from some underwash in the
banks. In one corner of Pro
mill pond on the morrow, if the mor
row chanced to be a Sunday, in a pool
relieved of ice for the occasion and
hedged about by a throng of specta
tors, there would be a baptism of the
latest converts of the winter revivals.
In milder seasons the prevailing
form of social entertainment was even
ing teas, but now there was apt to be
a round of rather stately dinner
parties. The Indies oarae in carefully
treasured black silk gowns, of the
richest and stillest material, with wide
collars of white; lace, and lace-edged
white lawn underßleeves, The men
woro coats of biaok broadcloth, no less
oarefully kept and no less excellent in
quality, and high, stiff collars,swathed
in black silk or satin neckerchiefs.
The dinner, cookid mainly by the
hostess's own hands, was served in two
courses, but out of its abundance
might easily have furnished forth
twelve or fifteen of the daintiness
which courses acquire when they are
made a particular point of.
The company came to table for
these dinners with a certain hesitation
and awkwardness, and for a little
while after they were seated conver
sation lagged. First there fell a sharp,
expectant silence until the minister,
if present, as he usually was, had in
voked a blessing. Then, as the host
took carving knife and fork in hand
and rose from his chair with a certain
confidence, every eye and all attention
fixed intently on him, and remained
so fixed.
It was almost doing violence to cus
tom when, at a dinner by Mrs. Hamlin
Wampler, Mrs. Luther Gears began, in
the very height of the carving, to tell
a story of the loss of a spoon. She
told it in a plaintive tone; how, after
a dinner given by herself ten days
before, to substantially the present
company, when she came to collect
her silver, with a view to washing and
putting it away with her own hand (as
her careful oustom was), she found a
spoon missing—one of her holly-sprig
spoons.
Nobody attended much, for Wamp
ler was really doing a very neat job.
At the couolußion of Mrs. Gears's reci
tal two or three ladies murmured a
perfunctory "that was too bad," und
Dr. Dudley asked in his blunt way,
"What is a holly-sprig spoon?" But
be gave no outward sign of listening
to Mrs. Gears's explanation that hollv
sprig was the design, and that the loss
was especially grievous because it oc
casioned the first break in a set given
her at her marriage by her mother,
who had brought it at an early day
out from New Jersey, sewn up for
safety in her petticont, a gift to her
at her marriage from her own mother,
Mrs. Gears's grandmother, and to the
latter previously at her marriage from
her mother, Mrs. Gears's great-grand
mother, for whom it had been ex
pressly made by a London silversmith ;
the onlv set of its design ever seen or
heard of. At the words "grand
mother" and "great-grandmother" the
doctor's head nodded slightly, but his
eye, like all other eyes at the table,
even Mrs. Gears's, was on Wampler's
knife.
Wamplei/ shaved away the last bit
of breast and raised his instrument for
the master stroke through the flank.
The guests dipped forward a little
further. The knife descended, pierced
—then stopped abruptly. Wampler's
face grew red. Mrs. Wampler's grew
red, too, out of sympathy.
"You must have struck a tough tur
key, mother," said he.
"It's a young turkey," protested
Mrs. Wampler, "and it seemed very
tender when I was dressing it."
"Then you didn't cook it enough,"
urged Wnmpler.
"I had. it in the oven four hours,"
said Mia. Wampler.
The ether ladies averred that if your
oven was right lour houis was long
enough.
By pushing and sawing like an ama
teur with a dull blade, Wnmpler finally
cut through, and sought to retrieve
himself by a special dexterity on the
other side. But again the knife, after
entering keenly, came to a sudden halt,
and had to be driven on by main force.
Wampler finally wrenched off the
breast bone and resumed his chair.
In the course of this office Wnmpler
thrust a large spoon deep into the
mound of stuffing. There came a rue
| tallic click which everybody distinctly
heard aud againifixbd eyes-mi the host.
Then, on bridging up the spoon, he
-tilrued up with the handle of another,
a. smaller one, which everybody saw.
Since there'could be no concealment,
Wampler sought escape from the mis
adventure by jocularity, aud saying:
"Well, well, you must have ran snort
of bread crumbs for your stuffing,"
drew forth the spoon and held it up
in full view.
"It's my spoon," cried Mrs. Gears,
fairly shrieking, "the one 1 lost—my
holly-sprig;" and she stretched out
her hand as if to recover it, if need be,
by force.
"At any rate it's not mine," said
Mrs. Wampier.
"Oh, it's mine, it's mine ! I should
know it anywhere," persisted Mrs.
Gears excitedly, aud Wampier handed
the spoon over to her.
"It must be yours," said Mrs. Wam
pier. "I remember the design, and
it's not like any of mine. I never saw
it, unless at your house, until this
moment, and the turkey I dressed and
put into the oven with my own hands."
The other guests commented a little
on the singularity of the incident, and
ventured to make a joke or two upon
it, then dropped it from tho talk and
were studious not to recur to it. One
and all departed, however, with it
still sufficiently in mind, and more
than made themselves amends ulti
mately for any self-denial they may
have suffered regarding it in the pres
ence of their host and Hostess. Very
soon the whole town knew the story,
and Mrs. Gears's holly-sprig spoon be
came celebrated.
The next time Mrs. Gears and Mr.
and Mrs. Wampier met they barely
knew each other; and the next time
after that they knew each other not at
all. Then it became impossible to in
vite them into the same companies,
and through the circle of their com
mon acquaintance there begau to steal,
like a line of spilt oil across a floor, a
separation out of sympathy. By the
time tho separation became fully de
fined, Mrs. Gears's umbrage at the
Wamplers had come to positive
grounds. She did not scruple to
think and to freely say : "We have no
direct proof; but it's very singular
that the spoon should be found in
their possession, and they never of
fered any explanation."
The difference grew into an open
feud. Finally it *wae carried into the
church. A document was laid before
the session urging it to summon Mr.
and Mrs. Wampier to an explanation.
Their conduct, the document set forth,
in thus far refusing an explanation,
was neither brotherly nor Christian;
it savored, if not of guilt, at least of
self-righteousness and pride, and in
either caee they were amenable to the
session. There was prolonged argu
ment in the session, and some plain
speaking and strong feeling. At the
vote the lay members divided evenly,
and it devolved on tho pastor,the Rev.
Cornelius Holt, to decide. He was a
man of rare humility, but of a steady
sense of justice and an obscinaoy iu
following it that no amount of ag
gression could outwear. He decided
against the petition and in favor of
the Wamplers.
Thero was moisture in his eyes and
a half sob in his voice as he concluded
with "Let us pray,"and iu the prayer
he offered a brief, fervent prayer for
geutle counsels and confiding hearts.
He was ohecked several times by his
emotion. The other members of the
session were deeply touched, and re
paired to their homes with pure and
exalted feelings and with a mind re
solved, every man of them, to do his
utmost to keep the congregation in
harmony.
But, unfortunately, the congrega
tion had not come under the spell of
the pastor's moving judgment aud
prayer, aud divisions of such magni
tude eusued that the laymen of the
session forgot their good resolutions,
and the session itself became a seat of
war. Mr. Holt had served in his pres
ent pastorate ten years. Ten years'
service in no office lessens the number
of a man's critics, unless he bo a man
of supreme talent; and (that Mr. Holt
was not. From bis installation there
had been in the congregation a dissat
isfied minority, and it had grown,
with the passage of time, more num
erous and more outspoken. It now
found, in his vote against having tho
Wamplers before the session, what,
unconsciously, it had long been wait
ing for—a point of union and onset.
Tho pastor's friends, however, were in
main stanch, and open opposition only
intensified their ardor. The session
divided again about evenly; but the
oppononts of the pastor were the more
cunning faction, and finally persuaded
two of his supporters to disregard per
sonal preference and join them in vot
ing a request to Mr. Holt for his resig
nation.
With his session thus become prac
tically unanimous against him, and a
good third of the congregation fiercely
urging the session on, tho minister
would gladly have yielded up his
charge aud fled. But this, it seemed
to him, would be moral weakuoss, a
clear violation of his duty to the larger
fraction who devoutly besought him
(o stay- So he refused to comply with
the session's request. Appeals fol
lowed to higher bodies, and a tedious,
complex, exhausting contest, ending
in defeat lor the opposing minority,
which thereupon withdrew from the
church in a body and organized a new
society.
And this is the origin of what is
since known in Osceola as the New
church, the church which in recent
years has been so marvellously blessed.
But it hud a hard struggle in the be
ginning. It begau to prosper only
after the Rev. Mr. Holliwell took
charge. He is a natural pulpit orator,
a inau thoroughly abreast with the
times. He began by prefacing his ser
mons with a familiar talk on current
topics, and every three months he
preached a sermon exclusively for men,
and another exclusively for women,
and one for the young people, and by
these and other novelties he soon
awakened an interest which has con
tinued, until now the New church
congregation is much the largest aud
wealthiest in the town. Then Andrew
Jarboe, a rich old bachelor farmer,
died and left the church SIO,OOO, and
that was a great help to it. lu lifo
Andrew had not been a notable sup
porter of churches, but Mr. Holt had
once rebuked him sharply for failing
to supply a due weight of butter, and
it is supposed that this had somewhat
to do with determining his surprising
bequest to the New church.
Mr. Holt, after the New church be
gan to come up so conspicuously, suf
fered a certain decline in the regard
of his congregation. The members
were still free in expressions of devo
tion to him; but it became evident
that in their feelings they had a little
cooled, and Mr. Holt finally sought
another charge.
There was a woman known as Gypsy
Ann; keen-eyed, dishevelled, shrill
voiced, hall-mad creature, held, as
her name betokened, iu a certain sus
picion and fear, and often a word in
the mouths of inert mothers to intim
idate wilful children. She dwelt alone
in a remote, ramshackle cabiu, living
mainly on charity, but earning a little
money now and then by helping in the
rough work of the kitchens. She had
always some special patrons.
They changed, however, from time
to time, for in her moods she was apt
to quarrel with her benefactor. Among
the most devoted of them had once
been Mrs. Wampier and Mrs. Gears;
but on some fancied provocation both
were abruptly dismissed from her re
gard, as a number of others had been
dismissed and neither had had aught
to do with her for many years. Of all
her dislikes the bitterest hitherto had
been of the ohurches. At the name of
any particularly honored member, her
wont was to cry out, with a wild ges
ture: "My hand's a lily beside his
black heart." When, therefore, word
went abroad that Gypsy Ann had pre
sented herself at the "mourner's
bench," Osceola quivered with interest
through all its members. The high
and the low, the full-robed and the
ragged were alike excited; and at the
next meeting the swift runners after
sensations thronged the church.
The object and hope of these in
truders were of the vaguest, but the
entertainment they sought they found.
In the confidence that a new life had
begun for her, Ann seized the occa
sion to renounce her past, item by
item, in the presence of the congrega
tion. The renunciatiou laoked some
what of the humility that usually
characterizes such performances ; but
aside from this, it proceeded quite
prosaically, and would have yielded no
particular relish to the curious, but
that toward the end she disclosed—
altogether incidentally and as a mat
ter of no more importance than any
other she had touched upon—that she
was the demon behind the mystery of
the holly-sprig spoon. A distinct mur
mur passe.d through the house as Ann
related how, in revenge for an injury
which she thought had been done her
by Mrs. Gears, she stole the spoon,
aud then in revenge of another which
she thought had been done her by
Mrs. Wampier, "tucked it away," as
she said, iu Mrs. Wampler's turkey.
"Audi mind me to this day," said she,
"what a temper I had—the oven was
so hot, Mrs. Wampier gone from the
kitchen only for a minute, and the
spoon such an unhandy shape. But,
somehow, Satan let me succeed—as he
always lets us, if only we tried hard
enough—and little I thought of all the
trouble it would make I But, maybe
it's doue some good, too. Ou account
of it, ye might say, there's two
churches now where there was only
one before. So perhaps it'll bo some
wise forgiven me."
The ice in the millpond was thicker
last winter than it had been for years,
but it cracked again aud again under
the weight of the crowd that gathered
the next Sunday to see Gypsy Ann
baptized. —New York Sun.
Don't Contuse Terms,
Two very simple legal terms are
frequently confused by newspaper
writers. These are the words "be

gift by will. The former term prop

tho latter to real estate only. This
error is made boldly prominent in the
form of testamentary clause printed
on the last page of a prominent chari

a reminder to the generously disposed ;
