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.

PARKIIUIiST ROASTS PLATT
Roosevelt Alio Cornea in for the
Pastor's Condemnation,
Springfield, Mass., March 28. 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."

IS A CHINESE BEAUTY.

a new beauty, a veritable Cleo de Mer

annual dinner last night of the One
Leon Tong, given tn the rooms of the
Chinese Merchants' club, on the top floor
of 14 Mott street. About sixty Chinese
merchants were present, together with

them to keep on the best of terms with
the Mott street celestials".
Afer the rice wine and gin had been
circulating for some time and the feast
was in full progress the dainty little My
Qui Si was introduced, but not until the

bidden charms of the Chinese dancer. A
few of them, however, caught a glimpse
of the ycung woman, and they declare
that she is very beautiful.

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.

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. Little things irritate the temper and worry
the mind, which only aggravates the disease until the whole sys
tem breaks down, and nervous prostration is followed by insanity
or death. Strengthen and build up the nerves and stop thi3
downward course before it is too late.

troubled her for a Ions? time. Her arms and Ws would
