STATEMENT MADE
BY LOCAL MUSICIAN
Was Agreeably Surprised Over tHe
Results in His Case; is
Very Grateful
Mr. Richard Friclson, a well-known
musician, of East Broad Street, makes
the following statement in connection
with "Tona Vita," the new tonic now
being introduced in Richmond:
"hollowing a severe -irk spell I under?
went a serious surgical operation, from
which I nearly died. I never fully re?
cuperated, and was bothered with stom?
ach and intestinal trouble, with all their
disagreeable concomitant distresses. I
was nervous ami physically run down,
appetite was poor and 1 was always tired.
I was advisr?! by a friend to try 'Tona
Vita,' and did so without much faith in;
its curative properties. I am glad to say
thai 1 was agreeably disappointed, for it
certainly worked wonders in my case.
I am now a .well man, and cannot say
enough in praise of 'Tona Vita." "
The specialists who arc here introduc?
ing "Tona Vita" say that there is nothing
uncommon or remarkable about Mr.
Frielson's case. "Why, we arc receiving
hundreds of such testimonials from Rich?
mond people who have been benefited by
our preparation," said one of these spe?
cialists. "The chief value of 'Tona
Vita,' " continued he, "lies in the fact
that it is quick to respond to the needs of
a badly debilitated body. It acts like
a true' specific in a remarkably short
time.
"A tired, dragging feeling of the body,
a sluggish mind and dull memory, depres?
sion of spirits, intense nervousness, pal?
pitation of the heart, weak back, cold feet,
I bowel trouble, constipation and hcad
,i< lies arc- among the many symptoms of
a condition from which thousands here in
! Richmond suffer. This condition is more
j common in the big cities, where people
' arc apt to disregard the laws of nature.
"Most of the so-called kidney trouble,
nearly all indigestion and fully half of
the headaches in Richmond can be at?
tributed solely to a nervous, debilitated
condition of the body,
" 'Tona Vita' will positively remove this
condition?toning one's nerves, giving
? new blood and new life."
Enthusiasm continues to prevail gen?
erally where the new product called "Tona
Vita" has been used. The great amount j
! of good which seems to have been accottt- I
plished is the cause of considerable com- j
ment by those who have seen its wonder
ful work. Case after case of persons who !
! were comparatively nervous wrecks and
had been sufferers from stomach trouble
I lor year; has been reported, and the rc
. suits of "Tona Vita' arc said to have
' been astonishing in nearly every in
I stance.
The specialists introducing this rc
, markable new tonic will meet all callers
ifrom 9 A. M- to 8 P. M. at the Polk
; Miller Drug Company, Xo. S34 East
Main Street.

EMPEROR OPPOSES
"NAME" MARRIAGES
Endeavors to Secure Legislation
Similar to That Existing
in France.
BY LA MAIltiUISE DE FOMEXOY.
MPEROK WILLIAM Is endeavor?
ing to secure legislation similar
to that existing in France, by
which divorced women furfolt
the name, and abovo all tue titles,
of their former hlsbands.
Tho reason for this ib that his at?
tention has been called to the extra?
ordinary number of marriages which
have taken place of late, between pen?
niless and broken nobles und women
whoso wealth is derived from quee
ti.mahle sources. Such marriages,
popularly known as "Namenshejra
then" (name marriages), aro rarely of
long duration, the transaction being
a purely commercial one.
Some of tho most historic and Il?
lustrious names, obtained In tills fash?
ion, uro. bornu and pariided by women
of the most unfortunate character,
which certainly does not enhance tho
prestige of the. German aristocracy.
Tho murder not lone ago of Countess
Frieda von Strachwltz, who once be?
longed to the Berlin half-world, sorved
to recall that she. had procured tho
grand old name and title In very much
the same fashion. Tho Strncbwlts
family, of Stleslnn origin, dates from
the end of tho twelfth century, and de?
rives its tltlo from the Holy Roman
Empire, which may well explain tn,;ir
wrath when this extraordinarily hu
milatlng union took place.
According to French law, a divorced
'vornan, even when she Is the petitioner,
end the innocent party, loses the right
to use io.r former husband's name. In
the ? ase of an American girl, who
secured a divorce from her French
husband and the custody of the child
wn. >h. resumed her maiden name,
prefixed, however, with '.Ars," instead
of "Miss."
One of tho favorite toplc3 of con?
versation in this country of recent
years is th-- question of exchange of
\isi;s between the President and
foreign rulers. Visits su- h as these
nstltute a sort of obligation upon
i'"i.. 'i monarch, after his acces?
sion to the throne, and among his
. omplimentary visits of this kind, he
invariably includes ono to the Presi?
dent of the French republic, who ro
turns the courtesy lu due course.
Tho Cni.-f Magistrate of tho Argen
n- Hepub i . Saenz Pcna, determined
to follow European cxcmple, und In
i i. i recently his intention of mak
ing a friendly descent upon each of
his brother potentates of the Old
World, lie had. In fact, completed all
arrangements for the trans-Atlantic
trip aboard a man-of-war. escort'-.1
by a squa-iron of cruisers, when ho ro
celved official notice from the Kings
?: Spain Italy and Belgium that it
would be Impossible for them to re?
turn his Visit for six or seven years;
while the other sovereigns, including
Hie Kulser. King George and tho Czar,
offered no hopes of any return visit
at all. This seems to set a precedent
that should go far towards deciding
the question of any interchange of
visits between the President of the
ted State's and European rulers.
Every student of modern history is
aware that on the eve of the bombard?
ment of Alexandria, the English Gov?
ernment invited Franco to join in the
attack, and in the subsequent mllltary
occupatlon- of Egypt. Tliu French
fleet lay at anchor with that of Great
Britian off the port. M. Gambetta
was warmly in favor of accepting the.
invitation, foreseeing that otherwise
England would have sole control of
the country and of the Suez Canal.
Rut Premier de Frey cl net, afraid of
offending Germany, declined to do so,
I the French vessels retiring before tho
bombardment began.
I'ntll the appoarance, however, of
the last volume of ex-Premier Crispl's
Memoirs the other day, thu "public"
was completely Ignorant that Glad?
stone, the English Prime Minister, had
addresses a similar invitation to Italy.
Crlspi was not then in office, but visit?
ing London, and wrote and telegraphed
from there to Manclni, the Italian Min?
ister of Foreign Affairs, and to Pre?
mier Depretls, urging complianco with
Great Brtta'ns eequest.
In London, the Italian Ambassador,
Menabrea. In conversation with the late
Lord Granvllle, Secretary of Stale for
Foreign Affairs, had actually consented
and had received the congratulations
of the Prince of Wales for having dona
so. But Marcini ubsolutely refused;
chiefly. It is said, because the British
Government stipulated that the army
of occupation should be under the su?
preme command of an English general;
and when Crlspi not long afterwards
met the Prince of Wales at a garden
party at M&rlborough House, the Princa
'? expressed to him the opinion that
Italy, by refusing to Join In the oc?
cupation of Egypt, hart let slip a val?
uable opportunity. Both Franco and
Italy bitterly regretted the pusillani?
mity of their respective governments
in 1SS2; but for which they would
be sharing to-day in the possession
of the country bathed by the be-iutltul
Nile.
Queen Wllhc.lmlne, who last Week
paid her first state visit to Paris sine
her marriage, thus returning the call
made upon her by President Falllerea
at Amsterdam, showed that she was
proud Of her French ancestry. Among
the deputations which stie received dur?
ing her stay?the ono to which she
accorded most attention, was that
from the French town of Orange, In
the Department of the Valcluse, and
which consisted of Hhe Mayor, the
parliamentary representatives, and
some of th,.- leading .Ittzens.
The former principality of Orange
passed in 1530 to the House of Nas?
sau, through tho marriage of Count
Henry of that Ilk with Claude de
Chalons, sister and heiress of the last
French Prince of Orange. This Count
Henry Is the direct ancestor of Queen
Wllhclmine. The principality and
town of Orange were surrendered to
Franca in 1660; but by the treaty of
Utrecht, in 1713. the empty title was
conceded by Franco to the House of
Nassau, now reigning in the. Nether
lauds, and it Is the distinctive title
of the heir apparent.
Queen Wllhermlne, by the way, has
I the distinction of being the only
woman who has ever received the
Grand Cordon of the Legion of Honor,
which neither of the Emperors Na?
poleon, fortunately for them, ever ven?
tured to bestow upon their consorts.
Lord Kitchener, as I have before re?
marked In these letters, is the best
.choice that the British Government
could have mude to perform the task
of restoring British prestige In Egypt
to the high regard In which it was
held in the time of Lord Cromer's
sojourn there, and to obliterate all
recollection of tho dismal failure of
tho late Sir Eidon Gorst, as British
Diplomatic Agent.
As the most recently appointed mem?
ber of the Diplomatic Corps, Lodr
Kitchener would, under ordinary cir?
cumstances, enter tho audience cham?
ber of the Dplomatlc Corps, Lord
of the procession of tho diplomatic
agents, on the occasion of official cere?
monies. But Lord Kitchener, who un
dc-rr.tandr. Egypt and tho Egyptians
and the Importance attached to outward
signs, absolutely refuses to place him?
self In such a subordinate position,
hearing in mind the peculiarly power?
ful role that he plavs a? England's
