He Stopped Growing?Limbs Be came Useless and He Was Unable to Walk?His Cure Brought Abou.t in a Singular Manner. ' From the Observer. Char'otte, N. C. Hearing that a child Dear Iron StatioD, Lincoln county, had been greatly benefited by the use of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People, a representative of the Observer went thither to see and ascertain the extent of the benefit the child bad received. RidiDg out on December 5, 1895, to a little country cottage in the pine woods, a mile distant from Iron Station, the reporter saw a bright faced young woman, a pure anglo-saxon type with light hair and blue eyes, standing in the doorway with two plump, rosy-cheeked children half hiding behind her dress. Mention ing that he was looking for a family of Robinsons, the woman seemed at first a little suspicious. . "You're a stranger in my eye,'' she said. "I am tryiDg to find a child named Wilbur Robinson, who was greatly benefited by Dr. "Williams' J Pink Pills for Pale People.*' The youDg mother smiled and a pleased look came into her eyes as she said "come in,"' and added, "I guess that's the cn?," pointing to the younger of the two little boys. It was an humble home, the family being composed of that sturdy farming class that goes to makeup one of the strongest and truest types of North Carolina's good people. The husband, Robert X). Robinson, runs the farm of 200 acres, but was of! to the mill at the time. The mother, Carrie L. Robinson, told a remarkable story of the cure of her little bov from the effects cf la grippe. Her aged, white haired mother, Mrs. Sarah A. Bandy, sat near and emphasized every word of the daughter. The little boy, Wilbur, who owed his recovery to Dr. ^ Williams' effective remedy, played about the house and yard, and was into every conceivable kind of mischief. It really seemed that he must ' have taken too mauyof Dr. Williams' Pink Pills so great was the energy with which he prosecuted his pranks. Three times his mother had to stop her conversation and rush out to * rescue the reporter's bicycle, which : was leauing against the house outside, and with which Wilbur was be coming almost too familiar. This is the story the mother told: "Wilbur was born August 8, 1S93. He was a stout, heal!by boy till he was Dearly five months old. Between Christmas and New Y# ar's he took the grippe. A physician at Iron * Station attended bim, and he was supposed to have recovered. But j ; the after effects of the malady lingered with disastrous result-'. In ~ March, 1S84, his parents noticed that ?nA?\ o 1 | iie L'UUJLU ijuc amuu u|)yu ijj.-j iccij ai , though before his taking the grippe ; he could do so easily. He could not - j bear the weight of his body on his ? feet; his legs were not growing any ? ! nor the muscle in them developing, p j He was not treated, however, till in ? the fall, about the last of October. ? When Mr. Robinson took his cotton p j to Lincointon, the county seat, he I also carried his baby along, and a n Lincointon physician prescribed for I him, recommending a lotion for rub^ bing his iirnbs. This helped the p : child only temporarily. Twice after~ | ward this physician was consulted. . ! He told the parents that the child - ; might some day be able to walk and ? ; again he might not. They would ? : just have to let birn ' grow along, 'as - [ the mother expressed it, and see 1 ; what developed. At this period the ? child's legs appeared to be shrunken, a ! As his mother says they were "as ? ! soft as cotton." Here was a boy p fourteen months old, who not only p j could not walk, but could not bear p i bis weight on his feet. ? | In some way?they do not know p I how?a pamphlet found its way to p j the Robiuscn family. Old Mrs. . j Bandy fished it out of a bureau ; drawer. It had the picture of two I dogs peeping over a fence on one n i cover, and on the other a herd of 5 i cows drinking in a cool stream near is | a bridge. Both cn the fence and ou h | the bridge, on the respective covers, ^ I was this line: "Dr. tVilliams' Pink 'g j Pills for P.de People." ia J "When I read that those pills t ! would build up the bone, I felt that k i . iiT'n d itey were me tumgs lor wimur, % said his mother. ? ''Old Mrs. Bandy sat up nearly all 'a I of one night reading this pamphlet, ? ! with all the testimonials it contained. 6 j A few days after they sent to one cf ! the two village stores and got twe ( boxes of the pills. This was about a. i the last of November, 1891. Before | he had finished taking the first box. j the little fellow was able to bear his I weight 011 his feef, and before the 7 ; second box was all gone, he could ; hold a chair before him and pur-h it j across the floor. ''We began by giving him a third ? i of a pill at a time, afterward increas d ing the dose to a half, so they held cut a long time," said his mother 3, "We commenced the second box ii )r i January, this year. We had to send ! to LincolntoD. eight miles away, tc c, get the next boxes. After taking the ' third box, in March, the child began S to go a few steps at a time, but he : didn't walk by himself tid iu Septem | ber. The fouith box, or part of it, _ | was administered in August." [s | The testimony of the mother was | that the child's appetite and, indeed s' i his whole system was helped by tin 's ; use of the pills. d | Mrs. Baudy. who had been looking p ; over a soit of diary she keeps, atthif ' i point in the conversation, read thii I 1 ? * , entry: "/ept. the 25tb. Wilbur be gins to walk alone by himself." "After he once learned to walk, ) said his mother, "we could hardi; keep him in sight of the house, am he was cured by four boxes, lacking ten pills. Mother says, and alway has said, the Lord directed somebod; to send us that pamphlet of I)r i Williams." "You really believe the child's cun ' is due to Dr. Williams' Pills?" wai asked. "I am really convinced the pilli cured him," the mother answered "I haven't the slightest doubt abou it." 1 " ? *? * 3 i. 1 1 ; And tne ooy sgranamomer cuimci in: "I'm just as sure of it as I an of living. I'll take an oath on tb< ! Bible that that is what did it.'' The neighbors in all ihe sectioi around the little village of Iron Sta tiou know and talk about the remark able cure of this baby, who migh: have been a cripple for life, had he not, even at the age of two years, one month and seventeen days, been en abled to walk for the first time bj the use of Dr. Williams' Pink Pilh for Pale People. This story may seem to the reade] like a fabrication, but is told as the child's mother told it to the reporter la order to show their apprecia tiou, Mrs. Robinson furnished the following testimonial and signed it (She says she is willing at any time to make sworn affidavit to her state ments): Iron Station, Lincoln Co., N.

Their Conditions Chanced. When Charges Foster -was governor of Ohio, Brice owed him $2,000. Brice went to the governor and asked him for a place. Foster said he conid not appoint him because ho was a Democrat. Brice responded dryly that unless he got a place he could never pay that $2,000. Foster said that he would rather lose the money than appoint him. The result of the conference, however, was that Foster gave Brice $500 and told him to gc into Wall street, and gave him advice where to place the money. Brice took the money, disregarded all advice and rounded up $40,000 in the street. Foster was so pleased he gave Brice half the money. The latter returned to the street, and by shrewd speculation built up an immense fortune. He has since that time turned the market upside down several times. Today Charles Foster is practically a poor man. He met Brice in the lobby of the Fifth Avenue hotel within the last few days, and Brice said to him : "See here, you gave me a start. Let me help you now." Mr. Foster felt touched by the offer to repay, but declined. Mr. Foster said: "Nobody knows what Brice is doing. Be may be bankrupt today, but he will be a rich man again tomorrow. He leads an odd financial life. New York Tribune. A Chance For Zola. In spite of tho fact that M. Zola did net score one vote for the French Academy at the late election, his success, according to M. Claretie is not unlikely at the nest election to fill the fauteuil of Dumas. If Dumas had been alive, M. Zola would not have been without a vote on this occasion, for, as is known, the former took an active and friendly I interest in his candidature. Tho knowlj edge that such was the case will have j its influence when Dumas' own succosj sor is chosen. Moreover, says M. Claretie, old literary quarrels are being forgotten, and the opposition of certain oi the conservative 40 is waxing weaker. Ac Odd Lawsuit, The suit of Marqnis di Marescoiti ol Bologna, Italy, against the Princes* j Anna Maria Torlonia of Rome, which i has just come to an end in the formei j city, has excited widespread interest.

SILENCED BY A JOKE. t Why Congressman Craln Never Delivered Another Speech In the House. Prtnnroccman WiUioTYi M JLli'J Vicaiu KjX wxj V. CTkj JLA-4 UU ft M. Crain of Texas removed from political 7 life oho of tho brightest minds in tho ? south. Mr. Crain used to be one of the leadr ers of tho fcouso. He never spoke withi out the greatest attention, for he always 6poke well. For fivo years past, how. ever, Mr. Crain has practically taken ; no part in the proceedings of the house. His usefulness was destroyed by a joke " ?a joke from which henover recovered. Mr. Crain was first elected to the Forty-ninth congress. He was handsome in appearance, well posted on all subjects, an orator, and a man of great personal magnetism. These qualities - immediately brought him to the front. I His first speech in congress made him a ? name. The newspaper correspondents i took a great fancy to him, and often 3 wrote flattering articles abont him. It was daring the Fifty-first congress , that he was sitting in the Press club one afternoon discussing politics with I a party*of newspapermen. To one of them he remarked upon the fact that ; when some men spoke all the corrci spondents left the gallery and retired > to the lobby, while when others ad dressed the house they crowded into the house to hear. He added that he noted they always came in to hear him, and he expected all of them to be present on tho next, day, when ho expected to make the speech of his life on the Mc' Kinley tariff bill. 5 The next morning the press gallery was crowded to hear the debate. There were several speakers to precede Mr. i Crain. During their speeches the gal lery remained full, but the moment Mr. Grain took tho floor every correspondent ! in the gallery arose and filed out into I the lobby. It was arranged cn the part of the correspondents as a little joke on 1 the Texan. ; The concerted action of tho corre1 spond^its naturally had its effect npon 1 Mr. Crain. It annoyed him so that he cut bis speech short and quickly resumed ' his scat. Tho moment he did all the i correspondents filed back into the gallery and listened to the other speeches. Though given to joking himself, Mr. Crain could never realize the joke of it. From that day to the day of his death ie never delivered another set speech in 1 the house, and rarely ever said anything on the floor. It was a shock from which ; ho never recovered.?Altanla Coustitu1 tion. Tho Palaces of the Snltr.ii. ! The sultan has no confidence in any ; of his palaces except that of Yildiz, j which he thinks ha has so fortified that i revolution cannot endanger him. He i was frightened almost to death when the Czar Alexander II of Russia was [ assassinated some years ago, and his life has been one of continuous unrest, s H8 has, all told, from SO to 40 palaces, a number of which aro on the hanks of t the Bosporus. i Yildiz is situated on a hill, and it3 [ grounds contain acres of ravines, of forests and lakc-s, of parks and gardens, i Kot far from it is the great palace of i Belira Bagtche, where Abdul Aziz, the : brother of this sultan, committed suicide I in order that another brother named [ Murad might be raised to the throne. Murad was pulled down by other coni spirators, who declared that he was crazy, and it i3 said that he is pining in the dungeons of onoof the palaces along the Bosporus. Abdul Aziz furnished this Dulma Bagtche palace. He spent ?60,000 a year on his harem, and within 12 I months expended ?120,000 cn pictures alone. The rooms?and there aro scores of them?aro walled with satin, while the hall is ornar?ented with crystal i posts as large round as the body of a man and more than six feet tall. The > palaco has luxurious couches and magnificent furniture, but Abdul Hamid bas feared it because it was too near the water, and ho has only used it for pub) lie receptions.

The Austrian Premier. Casiruir Felix Badeni, the present > premier of Austria, is tho sen cf a cook, i . His father, -who was the chef of one of tho last kings of Poland, was created a > count. Then his aunt, the famous Geri man actress, Anna Wierer, left him the ' half cf her largo fortune. In 1871 he became district chief of Zolkiew, and ' two years later entered the ministry of L the interior. For a time he was attached to the administration of the Statthalter in Galicia, but he retired from his office to care for a large estate that had been intrusted to bis management upon tho death cf his father. In 18S8 he was mado governor of Galicia, an offico he 1 held until ho was recently appointed ! prime minister of Austria by the EmI pcror Franz Joseph. He is said to be e worth about ?500,000, but bis younger P brother, who has succeeded him as governor of Galicia, has been far mere conc servative in his expenditure and is s credited with being the possessor of a i- much larger fortune. g An Editor's View of an Owner's Rights. I supposo that The Pall Mali Gazette costs its owner, Mr. Astor, a good deal , I of money, and, if it pleases him to pay u t for an organ, it seems only reasonable 0 that he should insist upon its advocating his views rather than those of Mr. Cust, i or Mr. Any One Else. These views are, | in tho case of Mr. Astor, peculiar, if, as > j Mr. Cust says, he was ordered to insist il j that the Radicals lost the last general e ! election owing to Sir William HarJ court's budget. But what of that? I have do doubt that they are sincerely entertained by Mr. Astor, who is a very rich man, and who objects to taxation being thrown on rich men. If an eel had a newspaper, its columns would very probably be largely devoted to tho denunciation of tho habit of skinning eels.?London Truth. During the winter of 18d3, F. M.

Laws That Govern Construction of Those Dwellings In That City. Mr. Edward Marshall, secretary of : tho New York tenement house commisj sion, contributes an articlo on "Stamp! iug Out the London Slums" to The j Century. Concerning the laws governing the erection of tenements in Lon! don, Mr. Marshall says: { First of all should bo mentioned the provisions for the two great requisites ! of light and air. The buildings will be four and five stories high, and each ! building must bo separated in all dirccj tions from any opposing building by an open space at least equal to its own height. It was with the greatest difficulty that tho New York commission j secured the passage of an act limiting j the ground area to bo covered to 75 per I cent. These official London tenements ! will not cover more than 55 per cent of tho building lots, j Habitable rooms must not bo less than . 8 feet G inches in height. Rooms must have efficient ventilation, "the princi! pie on which 'back to back' houses are i built being carefully avoided." This nropindoo flic r>nnctrnr>Hrm of n bnildinff I JUA V,V?UUVtJ fcMV VWMUV* MW?. ? _ more than two rooms deep. If such a I rule were euforccd in New York, the city would be revolutionized. The aim of tenement house architecture in Amer, ica is to get at least two, and perhaps ; four, families cn each floor of 25 fect j width. The London houses, as a mat. ter cf fact, will bo only one room deep. Living rooms in them must be of not | less than 144 feet superficial floor area. Bedrooms must bo of not less than 96 i feet superficial floor area nor less than ! 7 feet 9 inches wide. Staircases must ! havo horizontal ventilation direct to the open air. Corridors must be ventij lated cn the open air. Staircases and halls must be lighted day and night. The last named regulation is with a view of pre; venting the immorality and frequent accidents which lack of light in such ! places is known to produce in tenement | houses. A proposed statute calling for light after 8 a. m. until 10 p. m. aroused much opposition in Albany. After light and air, safety from fire j may bo regarded as the next essential of j model tenement house construction. The ; Ioto that ill walls shall I ^? "... I be of "fire resisting" material, and that all staircases ruust be fireproof, and so separated from apartments that they will not afford a fine for the conduct of fire from one floor to another, as has so often occurred in the tenements of New York. But the county council has learn! ed that it will pay to go beyond the law, I and to make the buildings absolutely j fireproof. The first cost will bo very littlo greater, and will be far more than ! offset by the decreased cost of repairs and the greater permanence of the buildI ings. Without going into technical dej tails of construction, it may bo said that | stairways are of iron, stone and cement; that floors are built with iron girders and brick arches; that the wooden surI face is laid cnsolid cement; that as litj tie woodwork is nsed in the rooms as possible, and that the plaster, even of I the partitions between rooms of the same apartment, is laid on iron or wire instead of on wooden lathing. Of the | buildings completed it is no idle boast I for the architect to say that a fire might be started in any room without endangering any other room. The cost of repairs is thns reduced to a minimum, and i the life of the buildings is increased until it is estimated at 450 years simply because it seems absurd to name a longer j period. As a matter of fact, the buildings, if undisturbed, will practically last forever. Specimen Cases. I S.

H. King, Water Valley, Miss., cured hj Ayer's Sarsaparilia "For five years, I suffered untoM misery from muscular rheumatism. I tried every known remedy, consulted the host physicians, visited Hot Springs, Ark., three times, spending $1000 there, besides doctors' bills; but could obtain only temporary relief. My fic.;h was wasted away so that I weighed only ninety-three pounds; my left arm and leg were drawn out of shape, the muscles being twisted up in knots. I was unable to dress myself, except with assistance, and could only hobble about by using a cane. I had no appetite, and was assured, by the doctors, that I could not live. The pains, at timpq. were so awful, that I could procure relief only by means of hypodermic injections of morphine. I had my limbs bandaged in clay, in sulphur, in poultices; but these gave only temporary relief. After trying everything, and suffering the most awful tortures, I began to take Ayer's Sarsaparilla. Inside of two months, I was' able to walk without a cane. In three months, my limb3 began to strengthen, and in the course of a year, I was cured.

Before organizing each member will subscribe an oath, furnished by the Secretary of State, before the Clerk of the Court. The office of the board shall be at the county seat.

If a person has been convicted of any of the crimes above mentioned, a pardon of the Governor removes the disqualification. The boards of registration in judging of the qualifications cf applicants for registration are authorized to require of every such applicant satisfactory proof of his age, residence, etc. In determining the intelligence qualification of the applicant, the boards select the section of the constitution to be read or explain and understood by the applicant.

At the commencement of the ball a young gallant hastened to be the first to ask her to dance. "With pleasure, sir," replied she; "20 francs." "Madame!" exclaimed the puzzled cavalier. "I said 20 francs, monsieur." "I beg your pardon, madame," re1 plied he, sm.ling; "there is a misunder' standing. I had the honor to ask your hand for a waltz." "Ah ! you are right, "replied the lady quickly, "there is some misunderstanding. I thought you asked mo for a quadrille, but since it is a waltz it will be 40 francs.'' More puzzled than ever, the gentle; man waited an explanation, which she gave him with a gracious smile: "Do you understand, sir, that I am i dancing for the benefit of the poor? It is i louis for a quadrille, 2 for a waltz, and no reduction in price." At this rate Mme. T. had no lack of ; r.nvifprs'. "and bravely and charitably danced to the close of the ball.
