Barker in the combined army and navy ma neuvers, beginning Aug. 23, says the Washington correspondent of the New York Herald General Gillespie spent several days In Hu* vicinity of Portland and at head quarters, inspecting evei'y detail of the defense. “1 found the men working enthusias tically.” continued the general, “and everything in tine shape.

Miss May Goelet, the fiancee of the ' Duke of Uoxburghe, will be on historic ground when she places her dainty | foot upon the <>0.500 acres of the duke in the heart of Roxburghshire, in Kngr land, says the New York Press, l Though not his birthplace, this county is the land of Sir Walter Scott. Pos- | sibly her great love for the Wavcrley novels romantically inclined Miss Goe- j let toward the young man whose an- I cestors were friends of the famous nov elist. The original spelling was Uox- i burgh. The town which gave the ! county its name is still so spelled. Celebrated battles were fought near Floors castle, the peculiar name of the seat of the Dukes of Uoxburghe, and none was more bloody than that of An crum Moor. Here it was that Lilliard, a Scottish maiden, did prodigies of j i valor. Some of the Goelet millions will make Floors castle as fine as the Van derbilt millions have made Blenheim. 1 I The renowned old cockroach-cobweb : hall will readily absorb about $7.0<X),- 000 before it gets into condition for the heiress. Floors has long been cele brated for its gardens and conserva- : tories, the best kept up places of their kind in Scotland. The castle is very old. As far back as 1400, when it was held by the English. King James II. I of Scotland laid siege to it. and was j blown to pieces by the bursting of a cannon. The very spot on which the king died is pointed out to visitors. WANTS TO DIE POOR. PENNY BATHS FORTHE POOR A Plan From Donn on the Rhine to Benefit ChleiiRO.

I also wish to avoid all litigation when I am gone and to save the inheritance tax as well as administration fees.

Mr. Roath made his fortune in Chi cago. He was the first engine driver on the Norwich and Worcester rail road and went to Chicago in 1854, where ho has lived since. Every sum mer lie visited his Connecticut home, but his peculiar manner of living and ids reticence regarding his financial affairs gave no indication of the for tunc he had amassed. In fact, his persistency in living in cheap hotels, his quiet haste In dress and habits led his relatives to believe that he was comparatively poor. Mr. Itoath arrived in Norwich early in July. He confided Ins plans to Stephen B. Meaeh, president of the Thames National bank, who super vised the transfer and a’tended to all details. His fortune, which had boon accumulated by investments in Chica go, consists of securities worth much above par value.

Early in my professional career I realized that Chronic Diseases were not being given th® attention which their importance warranted. L saw that these diseases required a special fit ness which the busy practitioner could never acquire. For more than twenty years I have de voted myself exclusively to the study and treatment of these diseases, and the fact that physi cians recommend me to their patients is an evidence of my skill and ability in my special line. I give special counsel to physicians with obstinate and obscure cases. I have devoted particular attention to chronic diseases of men and women, and no otbCV’ class of disease requires more intelligent and expert treatment. It is a fact that a majority of men owe the seriousness of their condition to improper treatment, and a failure to realize th,. importance of placing their case in the hands of a skilled and expert specialist. Overindulgence, indiscretions and excesses are not the onli causes of an impairment of sexual strength. Such a derange ment frequently comes from worry, overwork, mental strain, etc., which gradually weakens and injures the system before the unfortunate victim realizes the true nature of his trouble. Nervousness, weak back, dizziness, loss of memory, spots befot* the eyes, despondency, etc., often.are the first symptoms of an impairmentof manly vigor, and if neglected serious results are sure to follow. 1 want to talk to every man who lias any of thty^A symptoms of weakening of his manly functions, lean promptly correct all irregularities, and tinder my skillful treatment you will have restored all of the strength anu glory of your man-, hood.

Chinese Coin* a* Trimming;*. Chinese and Japanese ideas are be ing incorporated in woman’s dress to a remarkable degree, says the New York Press. A girl recently wore a kimono shaped coat in Fifth avenue. The hat was of robin’s egg blue broad cloth. The collar and front of the coat were trimmed with Chinese embroid ery in peacock blue. It was a savage dragon design. But most remarkable of all were the Chinese coins that were sewed on the coat as an additional trimming at the neck. These coins also formed bangles. It was a striking ef fect, but not altogether in good taste. The New French Coin*. Samples of the new French nickel coins were stamped recently and look very neat, suyk a Paris cable dispatch to the New York Herald. They are of pure metal. The design consists of the head of a figure representing the re public. very graceful in outline, with out any ornamentation on the reverse. The new coins have a great advantage over the heavy copper coins. The met al, being more durable, will last longer than silver, and the figures are not easily effaced.
