IIEItBEllT SPEXCER ILL Health, of Great English Philosopher ia Very Poor. New York. March 28. A dispatch to the Tribune from London says: The health of Herbert Spencer remains very poor. He recently wrote a pathetic letter to a friend in which he says that he can not work, can write only a few lines, and reads little. His days are tpent on a lounge near a window looking rut on the st-a at Brighton. The phil osopher lives quietly and seldom leaves his room. His income is mainly drawn from the sale of his books in America, his copyrights there having yielded Mm J4.730 in the last six months. The works .f four leading scientific writers in Knr land in the last quarter of a century now have a steady sale in America, whereas the demand for them has fallen off here. The Apph'tons has paid in the last six months royalties amounting nearly to $10,000 to Herbert Spencer and the heirs or executors of Uarwin, .Huxley and Tyndall. AFFAIRS IN RUSSIA. Excitement Runs High, in Political Circles of St. Petersburg. St. Petersburg, March 2 It is con fidently expected that Lieut. General Kleigel, the prefect of police, will be given a Siberian governor generalship. A ministerial circular this morning con tained what is regarded as a severe criticism of Kleigei's policy of making arrests after the outbreaks of the t'.tti dnt troubles, instead of forestalling it. The wrangle with Lieut. General Via eemsky in the cathedral which caused the resignation of Viasemsky is also hurting Kleigel. It is reported that Grand Duke Vladimir is organizing a mediation committee for the purpose of Inquiring into the complaints of the students and endeavoring to persuade them to behave. A Ftory comes from the hospitals to the effect that nineteen students have already died from injuries received in the recent riots, presumably as a re sult of wounds inlHcted by the leaden bullets which the Cossacks are alleged to have put on their whips. The stu dents themselves report only two deaths while the mortality statistics d. not give a single death last week except from disease. The candidacy of M. Kowalebsky for minister of education is regarded as very serious. Senator Taeantsoff, cur ator of the Moscow district, and M. Knrep. curator of the Kharkoff district, are his principal opponents.

Dr. Parkhurst of New York spoke on "The Municipal Problem" at the board of trade banquet here last night. "The present conditions in New York," he said, "are a direct legacy from Piatt. Only the Lord and Our two bosses know what will be the outcome of the next municipal election, and only the Lord is sure. Piatt's conspiracy with Tracy to defeat Low shows that bossism is a can cer w hich Rnaws into the very vitals of the people." Parkhurst, referring to the Platt-Odell row. said: "New York ia now in a most interest ing position. It has a governor, Roose velt was not a governor. He did not dare to stand up against Piatt. He was pretty ambitious. He wanted to be a president. If he had stood up like a man he could have been governor the second term.and that would have constituted an immense recommendation for the presidency. As it is. he is laid upon the vice presidential shelf and is pretty dead, unless McKin ley should die before 1904, which God for bid. "B. B. Odell proposes to be governor. He has served his notice on Piatt to that effect. Now, that is the greatest thing that has happened in New York in a good while." ItEAL ESTATE TRANSFERS. Mary E.

Rice, the VV ell-Known Au thority, Sends a Trial of Mis Famous Method Free to All. (fTIi) V II , y f ll. it. T- 4. MR. CHAS. LANGE. Out of the chaos of old-time failu.e cornea a new and startling cure for rap ture. Dr. w. S. Rice, ik3 N. Main St., Adams, N. TT., has invented a method that cures without pain, danger, oppr- tion or an hour s loss of time from the day's work. To avoid all questions of doubt he sends free to every sufferer a free trial of his method and there can be no earthly reason why anyone, rich or poor, should not avail Ihemselves of this generous offer. As an instance of this remarkable method, the cure of Charles Lange, Morrison, 111., is a wel come piece of intelligence. Mr. Lange is a well preserved old gen tleman, 72 yeans of age and for eighteen years had a bad double rupture which no treatment could cope with. After a short use of the Rice method the left rupture healed entirely and the rifrht was almost closed in a few weeks. To day he is as sound as a dollar, wears no truss or other support, and his cure is only one of hundreds of similar cases reported by those who use the Rice method. Send for this free trial. Don't be backward. It will surprise you with its wonderful power to heal. And if you know of other ruptured people ask them to write or write for them. Do not fail to write at once; do so today. 1 11 ia ( Is in the nervous sysfem, the most delicate and important part of the whole body. When the nerves become weakened or diseased, the head aches, the circulation is retarded and the digestion is deranged.
