Washi.voton, Miyr 11. Flvo Central
American republics will join In a com

cording to information received hero
through diplomatic channols. This is
one result of tho recent bulldozing of

Central American republics In this city,
while possessing no official Information
ns to tho proposed boycott, are, never
theless, of tho opinion that a commer

International complications. Tho ro
suit cannot fall to bu of great benefit to
citizens of the United Statos engaged in

American markets. Tho business

retirement next month. Adm. Meade's
retirement is, wholly voluntary nnd
comes to him under that clause of tho
naval law which permits retirement
after forty years of service. It is
true that his health has for sev
eral years been unsatisfactory, tho
wounds which ho received dur
ing tho civil war giving Itlm a
great deal of trouble, but his relations
to tho navy dopartment during his
command of tho squadron of less than
a year's duration, havo been very un
pleasant, and are no doubt tho pre
eminent causes pf his voluntary retire
ment. To these, wounds his friends
attributo his great excitability and
nervousness, which have kept him con
tinually in hot water with tho navy
department since he was placed In com
mand of the homo fleet last August, a
mouth beforo ha was promoted to tho
highest naval rink.

that such being tho case there was no

Older Inhabitants The experi
ence or Two "V.W."
(From tht World-IftraU, Omaha, A'6.)
K World- lit raid reporter was attracted by
the ovidence of renewed activity of some of
tho older Inhabitant of the village of Flor
ence, a suburb of Omaha, Neb., snd en
quired tho cauo. Mr. A nil row Flnkenkelcr,
who was a member of Company 11 of the
First Iowa Volunteers during tho war, made
tho following explanation so far m he him
self Is concerned I
"In July, IbflO, while my comrnny was on
tho march through to Austin, Toxns, I was
attacked with rheumatism of tho wont
kind lh ono leg at Alexander, La. Being
weak I was suaitruck and remained un
conscious for several hours. Kvory sum
mer slnco 1 have boon uuable to stand the
heat of the sun, nnd hnve been compelled'
to glvo up my work. Thoro was In my
heud a bearing down fooling which In
creased until it seemed mvliend would'
burst, and It caused a ringing In my ears.,
and palpitation of tho heart set In, so that
tho slightest nolso would set my heart'
thumptug. Several times It has rendered
me unconscious for from seven to ton hour
at a time, in addition to this tho rheuma
tism extended up my entire side until it
drew my head down on my shoulder. I lost
my strength and Hush and was totally unfit
for work.
"For twcnty-clght yonrs I havo consulted
physicians and taken their proscriptions
without deriving any material benefit. My,
ailments Increased in intensity until I waa
assured that there wns no hope form; Dur-'
lng last year I went into tho butcher busi
ness, but tho dampness from the ice used
increased my rheumatic pains to such an ex
tent that 1 wns not only compelled to qui!
the business, but was conllnea to my house
and bod for nearly six months.
"I hod given up all faith of being a well
man again, when in November last I read la
the World-Herald a caso of a man who bad
been entirely curort from tho ailmoats from
which 1 was sutTcrlnir. br tho uso of Dr.
Williams' Pick Pills for Palo People. On
November 28 1 purchased a box. In a week;
I was astonished to know that I felt hotter
thau I hul for six months past, aud before
I had used half a box I was suro that 1 had
found a euro for my ailments. Tho ringing
In my oars began to lessen lu volumo ana
finally left me. That was tho first effect I
experienced asldo from an Increased appo
tlta. Tho pain from tho rhoumallsm frrad
unlly loftmc, so that within ono woek from
tho tlmo I took my flrst pill I was ablo to
sit up In bod. On January 1st, I was ablo
to bo out and walk around a little. Tho
palpitations of my heart entirely ceased.
On February 9, 1 was so thoroughly cured
that 1 acceptMl n position oa night watchman
lu tho Forest Lawn Cemetery, rcmslulagout
of doors from 0 P. M. until it A. M. I nave
galnod In welcht from 144 pounds which I
weighed In Novotnber lost, to 173 pound
which I welch now.
Mr. It. XV. Cowan, keeper of a general
storo at Florence, was also seen by tho re
porter. Mr. Cowan Is also an old soldier,

try, Company U. nnd later of Company M

novcr until wituin tno post row monias, re-,
eelved any relict, llo stated that ho .pad
uixon mo wonaoriui nuK rius.aaa was
now almost thoroughly cured, so much sola
raci mat no nas uisuoniinuea mcir use.
llo was also paralyzed In tho loft sldo of
his face, tho mouth oelng drawn up at the
loft corner, nnd ho was entirely unable to
movo tho muscles of his forehead or to
closo hlsleft eye. Ho states that ho believe
It Is owing to tho uso of the Pink Pills that
ho has recovered tho uso of his loft eye-lid,
which, prior to his taking tho pills, had
been fastened down by a physician so that
tho sight would not bo destroyed from the
eyo filling with dust, and, ascribes tho re
covery to tho Pink Pills. Ho has gained
llftcou pounds In weight since last October,
and feels healthier and stronger than at
any tlmo slnco tho war,''' Ho Intends to
recommence using tho pills with tho expec
tation of a complete recovery from the
paralysis.
