TODD, Publishar. $150 WORSE THAN THROWN AWAY ON FIVE DOCTORS. MR. FREDERICK ZIEGLER, OF SEAFORTII, THF,. LOSER—FOURTEEN YEARS OF EXPENSIVE AND SUFFERING EXPER- • IMENTS—HOW OTHERS MAY AVOID IT. (From Huron Expositor.) Mr. Frederick Ziegler is well known in and around Seaforth, where he has lived for many years. His prolonged and terrible suffering from Rheuma- tism and la grippe is also well known to most of the physicians of that town, having been -treated by them for years without obtaning any relief. Mr. Ziegler writes for the benefit of the readers of the Heron Expositor: "Four- teen years ago i was seized with rheu- matism, I have suffered terribly with it, the pains at times being almost un- • bearable. I tried several of' the best doctors, but to no avail. About four years ago I was taken with la grippe. I then doctored with five of the best, doctors for five months will little or no relief. I paid over $150 in doctors bills and medicines of various kinds. I at last procured three bottles of Williams' Royal Crown Remedy and Pills, and by the time I had used one bottle I began to feel better, and when I had taken two and a -half bottles I was completely cured and have remained in perfect health ever since. I believe it to be the best medicine ever introduced in or about these parts, for there are a great enany others in this town who have been cured by the Royal Crown Remedy. There is no person who thinks more of this Remedy than Mrs. J. McMann, of this town, who so highly recommended it to me. My wife was also very badly troubled with salt rheum, so badly indeed, that her finger nails all fell off. She had used but a small quantity of the remedy when she was greatly benefitted, and, in fact, will soon be completely cured." Wil- liams' Royal (crown Remedy and Pills is a wonderful blood purifier and sys- tem huilder and should he continued until the cure is complete, and always kept in every house, as it is the most economical medicine manufactured. Only $1 for pint bottle and 25c, for Pills, (lasts a month,) or 5 bottles of Remedy and 5 boxes Pills, for $5. Sent by express by Isaac Williams Co., London, Out,, or by druggists. Take nothing else; beware of substitutes, Little Dick Vent, the 10 -year-old son of James Vant, colored, of Abbeville, Ala., asked a 12 -year-old brother for a piece of biscuit which he was eating, and on being refused drew n pistol and shot bim in the head, inflicting wounds from which he died last week. Two months ago Dick killed a 6 -year-old brother with a club because he would not give him some marbles, and one month ago he cut three fingers off the hand of his little sister withan axe.

BOODLE REIGNS SUPREME Extracts from a Hook That Has Created a Great Deal of Stir—Loafers Every_ • where—Tramps Sleep Iu the City Bull —Virtue is Its Own Reward In Chicago —Whlahy and 1'olitles—The Saloon and the Church. Editor Stead's book, "If Christ Caine to Chicago," is divided into five parts. The first deals with the impression made upon the author while in Chicago ; the second he calls "Christ's Mute Wand in Chicago"; the third, "Satan's Iuvesible World Displayed"; -the fourth, "Christ's Church in Chicago," and the fifth is the summing up of what Mr. Stead thinks Christ would do in Chicago. There is an appendix in which the author gives the number, location and owners of houses used for ill -fame, the assessment of Chicago property, particularly that of the "millionaires," and a map of a section of the city, marking the brothels, saloons and lodging houses in the dis- trict bounded by Dearborn and Clark, Harrison and Polk streets. In his preface Mr. Stead says : "If Christ came to C1:icago." It was under this title that, after a month's sojourn in the city, I summoned a con ference in the Central Music hall, which was held in November, 1893. Nothing was further from my thoughts at that ' time than publishing a book on Chi- cago. * * * 'Oh, Christ is all right I' said one poor girl on Fifth avenue. 'It is the other ones that are the devil,' and she spoke u bitter truth. Fur he dwells in us but partially, and that which is in us without Him is carnal, earthly and devilish in sad reality. But the thought of him recalls tike ideal, and by applying that ideal to the actual circumstances of the civic life of Chicago, mon realized More clearly how fur short they have come of carrying out His will. To very many the conception of the citizen Christ was so new as to be distasteful, * * * To reinforce this growing sentiment, to strengthen this dawning consciousness of the reality of the citizen Christ, this book is given to the world. "The original conception of Christ coming to Chicago reached me, like most of my relrgio-philosophical notions, through the poetry of James Russell Loweil. * * * "Tete tramp is Christ's brother; the harlot is Christ's sister. These are the images which we have made of Christ. As the strength of a chain is tested by its weakest link, so the extent of our failure to save the least of these. His brethren, may be illustrated by the actual condition of those who are loot." IN HARRISON STREET .POLICE STATION, In the filet chapter the author treats of the treatment of the tramp in Chicago last winter. He says: "Like the frogs in the Egyptian plague, you could not escape from the tramps, go where you would. * * * Some were kerneled in the empty trucks on the railway sidings, rejoicing even in fireless retreat ; others crept into the basements of saloons, or coiled them- selves up in outhouses, but the bulk of them were accommodated in the police stations, in the Pacific Garden Mission and in the City Hall. Such improvised shelters were all the appliances of civil- ization which Chicago, iu the year of the World's Fair, had to offer to the home- less out -of -works. "Harrison street police station stands in the midst of darkest Chicago. Behind the bars of its underground cages are penned up night after night scores and hundreds of the most dissolute ruffians of both sexes that can be raked up in the dives of the levee. * * * Some- times when the justice needs dollars, and eaids are ordered that the bail bonds may be paid, there are 200 women crowded into the cells. * * * Only once had I seen anything like it Outside the picture book. It was when I was in one of the worst prisons in St. Peters- burg. But in Russia they were more merciful than in Chicago. * • * So the work of criminalizing goes on apace," - As to tramps using the city hall as a lodging house : "I have never seen a city hall so thronged with loafers dur- ing the day time. * * * "In Chicago it is, let us hustle the tramp out of town and thank God we are rid of the nuisance of his pres- ence. • * *" MAGGIE DARLING. The second chapter is devoted to the fallen women of Cuicago. Speaking of the conventional sentiment against the intermingling of the Christian and the lost women, he relates a story told him by a zealous Chicago woman who is de- voting her life to raising the fallen. "She told me," said Mr. Stead, -with a heart sore with the anguish of thwarted sympathy, that, so far from her efforts being supported by tho church, they were regarded as a developinett not to be encouraged." And ducting the wo- man's exact words, which were, "The doors of Christ's church are closed on the penitent Magdalen," he says : "Such a church may be as respectable as Thur. dell, the murderer, was declared to be respectable, because he kept a gig ; but its respectability will not save it from going down, with all its conventional;. ties, into perdition, nor will it have to go far, for the abode of such is nigh unto the gates of hell." * * * Time Chi- cago policemen who are bought off for $2.50 worth of drinks each week by pro. prietressea are roundly condemned. Then follows the pitiable story of Mag- gie Darling, who was found in the re- sort of Mine. Hastings. It is the same old story. Her final downfall was ulti- mately followed by the turning over of a new leaf, when her former life follow- ed her. The woman for whom she was working at the trine not only refused to keep her, but denied her a recommenda- tion, so'the girl drifted back to her old haunts. The chapter ends with a bitter wail of the girl, charging this woman with not being willing to help her to a better life. WHISKY AND POLITICS. In another chapter Mr. Stead reveals what "Farmer Jones," a frequenter of the saloon of Brant Smith, "Democra- tic captain of the Ninety -First Precinct of the One Hundredths Ward," tells of the corrupt methods pursued by the Democrats in that ward previous to the recent election of mayor. He tells how much was paid a head for votes, flow Many wee, nntXglit n title ieny.and bow nn.,Italian girl was needns a te01 to wet over the non l lagl)611-epeaki te`Itallans, Coeithlues i11r, Steed; ^"'L'Q mostpeo• Pie, pt)selbly to eyely,one wile resitils thele chapter, stleh an incites s'orkeig 111' the Democratic nutohine it; cluoayo wolt,ld Jill them with 4 reeling of despair, This, they will say, is the oletooine of T?einoo. racy, the latest triumph which Repub. ban inetitutione have achieved in the now world, 'What a picture l Bribery. intimidation, bull -dozing of every kind knifing, shooting, and the whole swim- ming in whisky l;' THE CIHICAGO TRINITY. "The Chicago Tri .icy" is picture in another chapter, and Mr. Stead says : "It subscribes with both bands to any- thing that is undersigned by the three Dii elajores of Prairie avenue-Mershtall Field, Philip D. Armour and George M. Pullman. What Chicago is suffering Iron, as a city, is a want of probity, an alms t total lack of ordinary business hones ty in the transaction of the city's busi nese, * * * The spectacle is a sorry one." WHO ARE THE "DISREPUTABLES." "If Christ calve to Chicago He would find that many of the citizens have for- gotte n the existence of ally mural law apart,fronr that which is embodied in the state or municipal election. * * "In Chicago everything that is not illegal is assumed to be right, no matter how dishonorable it may be, no matter how infamous it may be, or cruel it may be. They believe in the state; they have ceased to believe in God." Mr. Stead then makes reference to the speech made before the Woman's Club of Chicago, which insulted some nhem- bers of Chicago's four hundred. He says his remarks were misreln•eseuted. "What I did say was ti is : Those wo- men who have great opportunities only to neglect them, and who have great means only to squander tient upon themselves, are more disreputable in the eyes of God and titan titan the worst harlot on Fourth avenue. FIRST WARD PRECINCT. "If Christ came to Chicago it is one of the last precincts into which we should care to take 'line" Here, it is claimed, there is absolutely no one who "has any moral, spiritual and educt'tioual over- sight of tile people." Chicago is renunded that this a good field where the idle rich might use their• spare time in .missionary work. This precinct is accredited with having 46 saloons, 87 houses of ill -fame, rand 11 pawnbrokers for its 2000 inhabitants. There are no bath -houses, no reading - rooms, the only attempt to "supply the intellectual needs of this district being photographs of sitters whose chief char- acteristic is their absence of clothes." There is a rebuke for Chicago churches in this: "Au agency which fed more hungry people this winter in Chicago than all other agencies, religi- ous, charitable and municipal, was the free lunch of the saloons." THE BOODLERS. "The sovereign people may govern Chicago in theory ; as a matter of fact, Ding Boodler is monarch of all. bs sur- veys. his domination is practically un- disputed and the recognition of its ex- istence is the basis of the limitations which are placed upon the taxing powers of the city council." Tie writer refers to the streets of Chi- cago, valued at $5,000,000 a year, being not ouly an inexhaustible field for reve- nue, but "available for boodle." Con- tinuing, lie says :Lj"It would have been cheaper for the city of Chicago to have paid every one of her aldermen $10,000 a year, if by such payment the city could have secured honest servants, than to have turned a pack of hungry aldermen loose on time city estate with a miserable allowance of $156 a year, but with practically unrestricted liberty to fill their pockets by bartering away the property of the city." A lawyer of a railway corporation, speaking on time subject the other day, said : "There are 68 aldermen in the City Council, and 66 of them can be bought. This 1 know, because I have bought them myself." He shows that Chicago had a greater valuation upon property, real and per- sonal, by $66,000,000 in 1873- than in 1893, and that 367,896 people iu Chicago in X878 returned more property in that' year than did the 1,438,000 people living in Chicago in 1893. Aud lie says : "At this rate in another 20. years Chicago would be stone broke, and couldn't be sold for a red Dent." GAMBLING AND PARTY FINANCE. The author takes up the gambling in Chicago and claims that Monte Casio is the only place in Europe that equals this city as a gambling center. "The gam- bling hell, open rind unashamed, is one of the indigenous institutions of Chi- cago," says he. "That which is peculiar about Chicago is the way iu which gene ing is utilized as au engine of party finance. Chicago taught the world how to make the dice box and the wheel of fortune and the pack of cards a resource of partizan finance. It is ingenious and immoral. It is simply the sidoptiou by the Mayor of the city of the methods and morals of the policeman who levies blackmail on the street walkers on his beat." "Bishop Brennan and His Secular Clergy" is the title Mr. Stead gives to his chapter on the police. In this lie shows the hollowness of Mayor Hopkins' pledges to divorce the police force from politics by dismissing some of the ablest men on the force simply because they were opposed to his election. "Over and over again I have had to ask myself whether I was really in an American city or whether I had been spirited away and dropped down in some Turkish pashalic, so entirely has the very conception of impartial justice died out in the Police Courts of Chicago. The mayor, the aldermen, the saloon- keeper, the heeler, everybody, in fact, who is anybody or anything in Chicago has got a 'pull' when justice is to be ad• ministrated excepting that abstract en- tity ljustice herself, Justice has no 'pull.'" A Warning to Gide. Three years ago the romantic mar- riage of Miss Cora Fellows to a Sioux Indian named Chaska was the news- paper sensation of the day. The bride reigned as a heroine in print, and her I act was regarded in some quarters as au instance of feminine devotion inspired by a noble zeal to lift her swarthy lover to the plane of civilization. A few short years have stripped the glamor from time romance, revealing the sad reality of a deserted wife and halfbreed children, while her worthless husband is living with a squaw with whom lie had eloped. Time fate of this unhappy woman should be a warning to sentimental maidens against romantic marriages iu ge neral, and especially against unnatural mixed marriages. -Philadelphia Record. whearee allnothersofaaill.

Both plans are productive, but there is a polish about the Ontario plan which deprives it of the grossness displayed in the New Brunswick method. The St. John Sun qualifies the first returns of the Nova Scotia plebiscite. The prohibitionists claimed a majority not far short of 50,000, but it is said that number will more nearly repre- sent the total -vote. The English dis- tricts appear to have cast an almost unanimous vote for prohibition, whilst Scotch and French districts were dis- posed to regard the matter as "sumptu- ary legislation." The news that Great Britain is about to persuade KineeKabara a of Unyoro out of some of Its little idiosyncracies, in a measure mitigates our great grief at the retirement of Mr. Gladstone. Under the regime of Lord Rosobery the little war will probably he conduct- ed in a business like manner. Under the grand old bungler another pile of British bones would probably be the only result of the expedition. The Hamilton Spectator appreciates Mr. Dryden's situation exactly. "The serious charge," it says, "against the. Minister of Agriculture and against the officials at the college is that they sold to the public calves which had been exposed to disease and which were diseased. Their defence is that they did not know any better. Of course they did not know any better. When by accident they get a man at the college who knows anything they drive him out and persecute him." Mr. Dryden and the Government must go together, for even if Sir Oliver were to make a Jonah of John it would not lighten the ship. Consumption Cured. An old physician, retired from practice, having had placed in his hands by an East India mission- ary the formula of a simple vegetable remedy fnr the speedy and permanent euro of Consumptr, Bronabitis, Catarrh, Asthma and all throat ate Lung Affections, also a positive and radical cure for Nervone Mobility and all Nervous Complalute, after having tested its wonderful curative powers In thousands of oases, has felt it his duty to make it known to his suffering fellows.
