Aud what a terrible grip Rheumatism has,
when It takes hold of its victim ! It is not unusual
to meet, people who have been tormented by this ty
rant foe so many years that they thought their in.
heritanoe of pain could never be removed.
ItheumaUm cornea from poison In the blood.
The doctors have wrestled with it in vain. They bav ,
found tbri- priMcriptiou* powe.tee • to subdue it.
Am !X)phokos has won the victory.
Mr. D. G. Stratton, of New Loudon Conn., was
long a victim to Sciatic Rheumatism, so thst he ooold
not walk In twenty four hours Athlophonos set
turn on his feet, and took away his pain.
Mr. Godwin, of Crumpton, M(L,wus&sufferer
to a frightful extent with Rheumatism The change
wrought in him by Atblophoxo- * astonished
the community where be is so well k. wn.
The Rev. Mr. Beecher, of Chicago, brother of
Henry Ward beecher, has been afflicted with Chronic
Khsuiuatiaui He writes that Athlofioso* “has
removed all the sharp paius," and that he “ reoom
■nended his friend- to try it aud be convinced.”

If you cannot get Ath lophoros of your druggist,
we will send It ex press palJ. oti receipt of regular

It from your druggist, but if he hasn't it, do not be
persoaded to try is>mething else, but order at ones

THE COLORED NORMAL
A CORRESPONDENT’S VISIT TO THE
SCHOOL AT TUSKEGEE, ALA
How tbe Institution Began Work What

ment—t>a the ring of the Hosts
A Strange Scene.
[Tuskeeee i.Vla. > Cor. Inter Ocean.]
In the winter of 188.'* the legislature of
Alabama passed an act setting aside an
annual appropriation of s2,o'ri for the
establishment and maintenance of a col
ored normal school at Tuskegee. with the
condition that the money should be used
in paying teachers' salaries In order
that advantage might be taken of this
oiler, somebody had got to be found to
establish the school who had the pluck
to liestir himself and secure funds for
buildings and the necessary equipment
The state superintendent of instruction
wrote to Gen. Armstrong, of Hampton
fame, asking him to tind a principal.
Gen. Armstrong named Mr. Barker T.
Washington, one of his numerous pro
teges, who had come to Hampton with
only ."><> cents in his pocket
Mr. Washington o|*eiied his school in a
dilapidated country cliurdb on July 4. in
lbSl, after only one week s pre|»aralion,
with a membership of thirty students. In
less than four short years the school has
attained a membership of nearly ”00 stu
dents. each one of whom signs a contract
when he comes here that he will teach at
least two years in the public schools of
Alabama, aud has twelve teachers, for
whose service the state now pays $3,000 a
year; the institution owns SM) acres
of land, free of debt: a brickyard from
which 10.UUO bricks are daily turned out
by the students, and a windmill and
lank sixty-five feet in the air, with pi{>es
and attachments for carrying water to any
part of the premises; there is one
college budding which cast 4>6,000. and
another to cost over *IO,OOO in process of
erection —being built bv students —besides
a large number of cottages for boys,
poultry bouses, sheds, etc. there is a
printing otlice, a car) enter shop, a laun
dry, a sew ing school, forty acres of grow
ing croi»s, with live stock and tools;
and preparations are now being made
with the limited funds that are at the
command of this most deserving school to
add to the industrial depart nu-ut black
smilhiug. tinsmithing, shoemak.ng, fruit
canning, broom making and a saw mill!
There is also a night school for the very
poorest scholars (to whom the institute
furnishes employment by the day) and a
public colored school to give normal prac •
tice to these prospective teachers, after the
aualogy of the Butler school at Hampton.
1 went on a tour of inspection of the
premises in company with I rofessor
Washington, the state superintendent of
education, and some other prominent
white citizens The splendid work of
the young principal has won the sympa
thy and co 0,-eration of even the southern
white peo Ic. NN e saw mammoth pota
toes, turnips, cabbages, and various other
vegetables
“Mur land is poor.’' said Professor
Washington. “ but I wouldn't have .t
otherwise, i got it with that fact in
view l want the students to learn how
to make good laud out of poor land. It
is a small achievement to grow good crops
on rich land W e are trying to raise an
intelligent class of farmers. *
In the carpenter shops were exhibits of
furniture made '. y the students, beds,
wa>hstands. tables, etc. In the girls in
dustrial department were shawls, aprons,
shirts hats, tidies and other articles of ap
parel or household use.
In the meantime colored people had
been docking to the school from all the sur
rounding country Both sides
street were lined for nearly half a mile
with the wagons and buggies of jieopie
who hud come i.ve, ten. nfteeu. twenty,
and even twenty-five miles that morning.

THE SWELL AND THE WAITER.
Catting » Ridiculous Figure—Trying t«
Cat eh the Eye of the Waiter.
'Brooklyn Eagle.]
Of all the curious fashions, that which
encourages young men to wear high silk
hats and shooting blouses in the streets of
New York is the most absurd. The av
erage cigarette smoking and spindle
legged young clerk is apparently never so
happy as when he can get on a plaited
blouse and bind it by a belt around his
waist. The blouses are of dark blue, pep
per and salt, drab and sometimes almost
white in color, and are the most ridicu
lous garments for use imaginable
They are accepted as the proper jacket
for shooting and touring in England, but
the Anglomaniac dudes believe that they
are fit for anything here A high hat and
a short coat is bad enough in any instance,
but when a man wanders around in busi
ness hours in a beaver bat and blouse he
cuts about as ridiculous a figure as he well
can.
One hied who is particularly fond of
this style of attire is in the dry goods

his order. I!e waited a long while while
the guest scanned the prices marked op

This particular waiter had laid himself
out to annoy the fat man in the shooting
jacket, and he met with extreme success.
He excited the admiration of all the other
waiters by the deftness with which he
hung around the man's table and yet

solved to take as much as possible of tbe

INTEREST TAKEN IN THE MAN WHO
HAD AN APPOINTMENT.
The Hansom Driver’s Kind Invitation
Policemen on the Watch —An Eld

dent Young Folks—Too Mnek
York Sun.]
A few nights ago a well-known lawyer,
of distinguished appearance, who had an
appointment with another man. went to
the corner of Thirtv-ninth street and Fifth
avenue to wait for him. They had agreed
to meet <>n the southwest corner at 9
o’clock.
“The appointment," the lawyer said,
last night, “ was rather a stupid one. but I
made it to oblige my client We half in
tendet to go to the L nion League club af
terward, but we preferred to meet out
side aud talk of what was uppermost in
our minds before we went in. 1 waited
for that man on the corner for what
seemed to be an hour. What I wish to
speak of about particularly is the verv ex
traordinary feeling of uneasiness which
took possesion of me while waiting on this
corner. When I arrived the stages
were traveling up and down with
tolerable frequency, occasional cabs
passed and a number of pedestrians were
out on the avenue. No one was on any
of the four corners when I took my posi
tion against the railing. I stood there five
minutes, looking at my watch frequently,
and I noticed that every stage driver
who passed looked at me with a good
deal of interest Finally as a hansom
came along, the driver pulled up liis
horse, looked at me confidentially and
said in a low tone: Tap’in, you can sit
in my- v eb and wait for the lady, just as
well as .-landin' there. I'll do it for a half
a dollar an hour. " I shook my head and
turned on my- heel. He said something
about my putting on a good many airs
for mv age. and drove on. Then I ob
serve*! that there were four members
standing in the window of (be club aud
grinning at me in the glare of the elec
trie light I whirled around and started
up Filth avenue impatiently.
"As I passed the end of the long fence
on the northwest corner 1 observed that
the two policemen who were standing
carelessly there were watching me closely.
When I got to the corner of Fortieth
street I could not resist the inclination to
turn around and look back at them. They
were still staring at me, and, as I am
reasonably well known among the city
officials. 1 could not help lielieving that
they recognized me and that they would
tell giddy stories about me to tbeirfriends.
Still. I was afraid to leave the vicinity,
for I expected lo nw-et my client at any
moment! I walked down to Thirty niuth
street again on the op|<osite side of the
street, and. looking fiver to the corner
where I had just liegun to keep my vigil.
I saw a dreadfully dissipated specimen
of an elderly rounder twirling his cane
and standing in my place. He
had a waxed mustache. fashionable
clothes, bent knees, and a wicked eye. I
went over and stood defiantly I csidc him.
He stared at me and 1 glared at him,
while the policemen across the way moved
a little closer and kept their eyes on us
both with undiminished vigilance. I
heard some one raise the sash of a win
dow, and looking up saw lwo servant
girls staring down at us interestedly.
1 hen a district telegraph policeman came
whistling up the east side of the avenue,
leaned against the lamp post across »hc
street, and also fixed his eyes on the tld
erly masher aud.mvself.
"At this (soint I wa* positively afraid to
look over at the windows of the club. I
pulled out my watch, expecting to find
that it wa- a quarter to 10 o clock at least
and discovered that it was exactly four
minutes after As 1 held the watch in
my hand a small boy who was passing
yelled, ‘1 >nn t get fidgety.' ( larcnee: she U
be here afier a while ’ The girls tittered
overhead, the elderly masher grinned de
lightedly, and il»e hoarse rumble from
across the street convinced me that the
policeman laughed 1 could actually feel
the grinning beads bulging out of the
windows of the club across the street
Then a flashy young girl came skipping
along. Hie l.«ked up impudently at me
smiled on the elderly man, went across
the street and engaged in conversation
with the two policemen 1 knew j* rfectly
well that they were talking about the veti
erable chap with the white hair who was
waiting across the street At this point a
dapper young man with a mysterious air
and a < igarette got out of a couj»e over on
the only unoccupied corner, where she
club house is, lighted „ cigarette, stared
coolly at the elderly man and myself,
pulitd out his watch, and made it per
fectly apparent to everybody that he was
actually doing what 1 was suspected to l>e
at. and that he was not a bit ashamed
of it
“A tramp evidently supposed the
masher and I would be g»«od pay, for
whin he got to our corner he stopped
there, and stood about ten feet away gar.
leg at us appealingly with his bat in his
hand I pulled out my watch. It was
now Sent#, and there were ten or twelve
people waiting around this particular o»r
ner. 1 took a turn down the block again
and resumed my post Then I ventured
to Dok over to the club for the first time.
It was too niutli for me every man I
knew was shaking his bead and winking
significantly. 1 turned on my heel and
walked hurr.edly down to s 'ixth avenue
where I found the man waiting for me
and in a towering passion at what he
termed my delay. It was simply a mis
understanding as to the place of meeting.
I have come to the conclusion since that
experience lhat any man who ran wait on
a comer of a populous New York street
for an hour or two at night is gifted with
an amount of stoicism and repose which
is entirely foreign to my nature: "

During the present week there has been
a large bend of Indian* along Butte

The men and cbildreo have succeeded in
capturing large quantities of the pests,
and yesterday they brought to town twelve
large bags of them. They drove them
into pits with branches from trees, and
the catch was easily made The Indians
have a way of taking tbe legs and wings
from the hoppers by pressing upon lugs
containing them, leaving oi.ly the bodies.
The harvest is turned over to the squaws,
who convert it into t our and then into

fine powder in stone mortars, after the
fashtou of grinding their maize.
old timers who have eaten grasshop; er
bread say that it has n pleasant taste, not
unlike that made from wheat Hour, and
that it is just as nourishing. The In
dians prize it more highly than wheat
bread. The process of drying the hopper
ia an interesting sight. The insects are
spread upon canvas stretched upon the

looks like a cane with about a foot of the

use it when they go to ride. “What is it

your correspondent of one of the livery
men of the city who makes this sort of
thing a study.
“Oh ” he laughed, "it is limply an ab

is most ridiculous, but we 1 ave to cater to
it, of course. In England, you know,

whip in the hounds Well, those
whips are fasteued on to sticks with

Lc.’Pox, July SI. —The ‘sensational feat
urA of tbe Munster baifk collapse have
at last leaked out Robert Farquharson,
tbe recent junior t manager of the con
cern, has fled, and bis books as examined
far show an embezzlement ol
$850,000 through falsified accounts.
It is thought the total amount of bis defal
cation will reach $500,000. The sharehold
ers have offered a large reward for the ap
prehension of the fugitive. The reward
placards describe him as 40 years old, five
feet nine, average build, dark hair and
whiskers, mustache slightly tinged with
gray, fresh complexion, dark eyes, promi
nent white front teeth, walks with a stoop,
elegantly dressed, a native of Scotland.
For twelve years Farqubars n had beer
in the service of tbe com jinny. Suspicion
first attached to him last Tuesday, when the
official examiner discovered a half-erned
pencil entry in his book* The embezzler
promised to explain this, and left the room
on a plausible pretext That was tbe lari
seen of him. It is supposed he
immediately took an outgoing steamer.
Tbe absconder was director of
several companies, notably the
distillery company (limited). He was en
gaged to marry a wealthy Dublin lady
named Rogers, and had bought, paying
f'2o,l*oo for it a house in Leeson park; it*
furnishing was only completed Monday
night. Two years ago 4,000 pounds sterling
in gold were stolen from the bank, and a
clerk named Lodge was charged tried and
acquitted Farquharson was the only other
man who had the safe key. There is nc
doubt now that he was the culprit and
tried to convict the innocent man.
Farquharson did not live extravagantly,
but he speculated heavily, and is supposed
to have dissipated the greater part of hi*
stealing*.
