Words of Praise from a New York Lady for AYER'S_ PILLS ^ "I would like to add my testimony to that of others who have used Ayer's l'ills, and to say that I have taken them for many years, and alw ays derived the best results from their use. For stomach and liver troubles, and for the euro of headache caused bv these derangements, A\ers l'ills cannot be equaled. When my friends ask me what is the best remedy for disorders of the stomach, liver, or bowels, my invariable answer is, Ayer's Pills. Taken in season, they will break up a cold, prevent la grippe, check fever, and regulate the digestive organs. They are easy to take, and are, indeed, the best all-round family medicine I have ever known."?

He Opens the Free Silver Campaign in That City. The Senator Keceived an Ovation as He Walked Upon the Stage?Hot Shot Poured Into the Press and Goldbugs. New York, June 25.?The first organized movement in behalf of free silver in this city was inaugurated to night at Cooper Union and the hall held a vast assemblage. The meeting was under the auspices of the American silver organization which has for its sponsors the uYoung Democracy,'' better known as ex-Sheriff James O'Brien's followers. Senator Benjamin Tillman of South Carolina, the chief speaker, received an ovation as he walked upon the platform and took a seat under an ancient painting of Horace Greeley. The meeting was called to order by George P. Keeney, the official general organizer, who called attention to the presence of Senator Tillman. The mention of the Senator's name set the audience to applauding again and again and they cheered vigorously for several minutes. Senator Bixbit of the State Democracy and Alexander Delmar, made bzief speeches after which Senator Tillman was introduced. He was again loudly cheered and began his speech with a bitter attack on the press-of New York. Then, continuing, he said iu part: "Some of you perhaps have formed your opinions about me, I have aho formed mine about you. You are the most ignorant an 1 benighted community in the United States. Your newspapers, upon which you alone depend for your news and knowledge of public men and affairs, have studiously kept you hide bound and narrow by giving you only one side of this question. Right here let me say you are the biggest set of newspaper gluttons I ever saw in my life. "I have seen the time I would vote for any man at his bidding whether idiot or thief, but I have got above that. Though I appear here as a Democrat, I appear here also in the high role of an American." He sarcastically reviewed the political history and legislation since Mr. Cleveland was first elected Piesident, making bitter attacks on him. He then declared that the currency fight was a sectional one, adding that "Bimetallism is national while Goldbuggerv is sectional." "You are driving us to the alterna fcive of repudiation or confisction," be declared- "This is why I am glad to come hers and carry the war into Africa, for this u the head centre of jthe devilment. That is why I came to New York, within a nrle of Wall street, where you are surrounded by millionaires, where you belong to them as slaves, and ask you to rise in your majesty and throw off this yoke. But I tell you right now that we are calculating upon you doing it. But we do expect your help and our planning is to beat you at the polls in apite of your money." He compared the wealth of the la East with that of the West and South and added: ' The South and West cultivate corn and wheat. The Eastern man chiefly cultivates bonds. The East| ern wealth gatherers get on velvet J cushions waiting for dividends to rii pen which he gathers from trusts | and combines/' Some one in the audience said, "We hustled for it/' and Senator Tillman quickly replied: "I say that if i you claim that you are more economical, have any more sense, or are more industrious, that you are liars/' "How many of you here have got wealth? If any such has wandered in here he will go out and hang him self before morning for he kuows that he has stolen it. The millions in your coffers have been stolen from tie rank and file, from the toilers here as well as in South Carolina and Illinois/' A man demanded the right to ask the speaker if the goldbugs had gobbled up all the money and the people were paupers, if the silver1 bugs did not do the same thing'?'' "We have not," said Senator Tillman, "had a silverbug in the United States since 1873, but we are coming, father Abraham, three hundred million strong. We expect to elect a President, a House and a Senate without men like you." "The money of this country is congested in the coffers of "Wall street and that is why the men of the South and West complain." "Why do you hear talk now of a 50 cent dollai? Because the ratio has been destroyed by Congress and it is dow worth but 50 or 60 cents. Why is it today at a ration of 33 to 12? Because Congress in 1873, ! through the rascality of Sherman, made it so. They protected one metal and turned the o her out of doors. Why did Sherman do it? Because at the close of the war the United States owed some $27,000,000 I and the first thing the did was to j have Congress make a law that the | greenbacks should be paid for in i coin of 371 grains fine of silver or ! 223-10 fine of gold." i At the conclusion of the speech ! free silver resolutions were adopted | and Win. P. St. John was delegated j to go to the Democratic and Populist I conventions to press them upon the j delegates. A call for a silver convention in St. ! Louis, July 22, to nominate or en, dorse a Presidential candidate was i read, closing the meeting. Indigestive poisons are the bane j of the dyspeptic's life.

Suffered for Ten Years with a Complication of Diseases?Rest at Last. From Jackson Sentinel, Maxuoketa Iowa. Any one who has ever passed one sleepless night can appreciate in a slight degree at least, the sufferings of one who through weary nights and days vainly seeks to close his eyes in slumber, untl at last life itolmnof a irol'l'nrf TlifrVl f - OCli UCWLLiCO UlliiWOV H If mare. To toss upon one's couch night after night for weeks with tired brain and nerves, longing without avail for rest; to count the hours as they drag wearily by, the strained senses startled by every slight sound, is to experience one of the greatest afflictions that life can bring. Such was the experience of Mr. A. T. Wilcox, of Baldwin, Iowa, who makes the following statement: I, A. T. Wilcox of said county and State deposes and says, that on or about June 1st, 1894, I purchased Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People, and began taking them according to directions, and at once felt better and in ten days left a decided change for the better. I continued to take these pills uDtil about Nov. 1st, 1894, when I had to quit for want of money. I can say that this medicine gave me immediate relief. So much so I j could do my chores, which before was very difficult, with ease and felt better than I had for the last ten years past. My disease was sleeplessness, cold feet and coastipation of the bowels and liver troubles together with kidney troubles. I want to say that before I began to take the pills I had to sit up in my chair to sleep, but in a few days I began to feel better and my night3 were those of perfect rest. "*"* ' 1 P 1_ iV . i ivesi wdicd one ieeis mat comes from returning health. I rested well and my sleep was sound. I began at once to sleep well and slept well as long as I used the pills. I can say for all who are suffering from any of the above complaints that it gave me relief and I feel it a duty to recommend it to all, feeling sure that it does all that is claimed for it (Signed.) A. T. Wilcox. Subscribed in my presence and sworn to before me this, the 8th day of June, 1895. A. C. Blair, (seal.) Notary Public. Baldwin, Jackson county, Iowa. An analysis of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills shows that they contain, in a condensed form, all the elements necessary to give new life and richness to the blood and restore shattered nerves. They are an unfailing specific for such diseases as locomotor ataxia, partial paralysis, St.* Vitus' dance, sciatica, neuralgia, rheumatism, nervous headache, the after effects of la grippe, palpitation of the heart, pale and sallow complexions, all forms of weakness either in male or female, and all diseases resulting from vitiated humors in ihe blood.

Y. They Could't Understand Zt. Mayor Pallock, who was superintendent of free delivery in the postoffice department under the last administration, was for some time stationed on the frontier as an Idian agent, and was well and favorably known to many of the principal cheifs among the red men. Whenever they sent delegates to Washington to have a pow pow with the Great Father, the mayor's office was sure to be visited by them, and they came sometimes in crowds. On one occasion, while the Indians were making a call on the major, he | went to the telephone, in another I room, and called up the Indian office. I When his call was answered he said: "Tell Frank to come to the 'nhone/' Frank was a half-bred employed in the Indian office. "Hello Frank!" said the mayor. "Hold the 'phone a minute. Your uncle is here and wants to talk to | you." Then he went into his office and | led one of the chiefs to the telephone. "Want to talk to Frank?" said the I mayor, placing the transmitter in the chief's hand. After many grunts and suspicious glances at the mysterious contrivance, the little ear trumpet was finally held to the chief's ear, and the mayor said: Now go ahead, Frank." A grin spread over the Indian's face, and he dropped the transmitter. After trying in vain to look behind the instrument, he struck his head out of the window and looked around. Then with a bewildered look he ran to the door and looked up and down the corridor. The major explained to him that Frank was uptown in another buildiug, but the chief wasn't convinced, and called another Indian. While the second was listening the fiist chief watched the major's lips closely, evidently suspecting somj trick of ventriloquism. "Ugh!" grunted the second chief, as he dropped the transmitter and looked under a desk and out of a window. The major couldn't satisfactorily explain the matter to the chiefs, and finally was forced to put on his hat and take them over to the Indiau office, where they found Frank at the 'phone, waiting for more "talk."

"I was trout fishing early one sumi mer up in Somerset county, Me.," said i a New York sportsman. "My camp was I on the shore of one of the many small i lakes that abound in that part of the state. One evening just at sunset my guide came in all a-quiver with excitement. " 'If you want to see something that | neither you nor any other man will ever be likely to see again,' said he, 'just sneak down to the pond with me.' i "I crept stealthily in his wake down through the thick timber to the edge of ! the lake. It was still light enough at the upper end of the lake, where we | were camped, and which was not in the i shadow of the hills, for us to see plainly j a quarter of a mile along the margin of 1 the water. The guide cautiously parted j the dense growth of young birches that fringed the edge of the lake on that side, i " 'Look yonder!' he whispered. ! "I looked and my heart almost I jumped out of my mouth. The sight ? - - . i.i;?. 111 _i was almost past wjicvih^. ail iuou^ : the upper shore of the lake, standing belly deep among the lily pads, in varii ons attitudes of grace and stateliness, : the water was alive with caribcu. Magnificently antlered bulls stamped and snorted and tossed their kingly heads i among meek faced cows, while itl and ! out among them snorted a drove of velvet coated calves. We counted 57 bulls i and cows, and almost every cow had a j proprietary interest in at least one calf. , We watched this remarkable congregaj tion of caribou in silence?the sight be| ing too much for speech?until the ! shadows of evening began drawing : deeply about them, and we could have seen them only dimly a few minutes 1 later. Then my guide whispered: " 'We'll pull cn 'em just once any now ann. gee now inanv we can orup. "Selecting each of us a big bull, we ! fired. A terrified chorus of snorts fol| lowed the discharge of the guns. There I was a sound of water in great commoj tion for a moment, and the next instant | the woods were filled with the crashing i of the flying herd through the thick j brush. My guide and I sent the contents of our second barrels after the caribou as they rushed in a confused and thickly bunche/l mass from the water.

In the water, their huge hulks showing above the broad mat of lily pads, lay the dead bodies of the two old bulls wo had selected as our first I targets. On the edge of the lake, one with his head in the water and his flanks stretched on the shore, and the other with his antlers lifted high on land, his hind parts buried among the lilies, lay two other bulls, the victims of the two chance shots that followed the herd in its flight. " 'I've seen a go?l many caribou in my time,' said the guide?who was Nat Moore, at that time Maine's greatest caribou hunter?'but the natural his tory of Maine never calculated on me or any one else ever getting in among such a congregation of 'em as that was.' "Two or three seasons after that 80 caribou came into that same lake while Nat was there. He shot one and expected to see the rest of the herd dash instantly away into the woods. To the old guide's surprise, instead of the rest scampering away they seemed to be panic stricken, and huddled together in the pond, snorting and splashing the water about. It wasn't until Nat had shot and killed seven of the drove that the survivors recovered their wits and removed themselves without any more ado out of the reach of his deadly aim. This was 20 years ago.

The customs prevalent in Madagascar have not been changed since the final establishment of the French protectorate.

Slave, little girl, 175 francs; slave, little boy, 100 francs; slave, grown woman, 110 francs; slave, grown man, 75 francs." It is known that slavery, as practiced by the Hovas, was not exactly the same cruel institution it has been elsewhere. Still, it is slavery, and the liberal papers cf Paris are indignant at the fact that a slave market should bo tolerated by the French officials, who are the real masters of the African islau i.
