Albany, N. Y., March 17.—
Speaking at a banquet of the
Friendly Sons of St. Patrick here
to-night Former Seuptor David B,
Hill said :
"I have no patience with th(l
flunkies, the sycophants and thä
wonld-be courtiers who are con
stantly criticising the democratic;
methods of our people, but whe
have nothing but unstinted praise
for the customs and conventional^
ties of those who serve nnder royal
rule. The attitude of this conntry
towards other Governments, and
particularly toward monarchical
Governments, should be that laid
down by Thomas Jefferson in his
first inaugural address as Presided
namely, 'Peace, commerce and hoi»
est friends with all nations; et»
tangling alliances with none.' "

BEET SUGAR PRODUCTION.
Washington, March G.—C. F.
Taylor, the special agent in charge
of the beet sugar investigations of
the department of agriculture gave
to-day to the Associated Press fig
ures showing that the total prodnc
iton of beet sugar in the United
States in the season of 1901-02 has
aggregaied 185,000 tons, an increase
of 140 per cent, from the 77,000
tons produced during the season
1900-01. There were thirty-one fac
tories in operation in 1900, accord
ing to the censns figures, aud eleven
more were stArted in 1901. There
are nine factories in course of con
struction for operation in 1902.
Other companies have organized
with a total capitalization of $49,
000,000 and will require anuually
a working capital of $9,080,000.
According to Special Agent Say
lor they would purchase from the
farmer annually beets to the
amount of $14,700,000, besides
many other crude materials.
Having a Run on Chamberlain'*
Cough Remedy.
Between the hours of eleven o'clock a. m.
and closing time at night on Jan. 25th, 1901,
A. F. Clark, druggist, Glade Springs, Vs.,
sold twelve bottles of Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy. He says, "I never handled a
medicine that sold better or gave better sat
isfaction to my customers." This Bemedy
has been in general use in Virginia for
many years, and the people there are well
acquainted with its excellent qualities
Msny of them have testified to the remark
able cures which it has effected. When you
need a good, reliable medicine for a cough
or cold, or attack of the grip, use Chamber
Iain's Congh Bemedy and you are certain
to be more than pleased with the quick
cure which it affords. For sale by James
A. Leo, Druggist.
Seuator Hanna is reported as say
ing to all who urge him to be a
candidate for the Presidency that
he had"no thought on the subject."
But thoughts come in formidable
processions at unexpected moments.
Senator Hanna must not be too
sure of his innocence until after the
national convention.
Could Not Breathe.
Coughs, colds, croup, grip, bronchitis,
other throat and lung troubles are quickly
enrad by One Minute Congh Cure. One
Minute Cough Cure ia not a mere expeetor
ant, which gives only temporary relief. It
aoftena and liquifies the mucous, draws
oat th« inflamation and removes the cause
of the diaeaae. Absolutely safe. Acts at
at once. "On« Minute Cough Core will
do all that is elaimad for it," aays Justice
of the Peace, J. Q. Hood, Crosby, Miss,
lly wife could not g »t har breath and was
nlievad by the first dose. It has been a
benefit to all my family." John B. Taylor
TAFFY IN POLITICS.
There are two or three farmers
around Rochester. Hence a politi
cal speaker, in that town, in de
nouncing "cowitpt bargains be
tween government and capital and
unfair union of trade interests,"
declared that "almost the only un
adulterated honesty that remains is
represented by the farmer and the
products of his farm." When the
same, speaker talks to bankers he
can refer to the farmers' habits of
watering their milk, doctoring
their butter, putting the best ap
ples at the top of the barrel, and
other little tricks, and then he can
declare that "almost the only un
adulterated honesty that remains is
represented by the banker or the
capitalist,"—who "does" some
body else over his counter. An in
flexible ambition calls fora flexible
versatility.— Brooklyn Eagle.

A Printer Greatly Surprised.
"I never was so surprised in my life, as
1 was with the results of using Chamber
lain's Pain Balm," nays Henry T. Crook,
pressman of the Asbeville (N. C.) Osteite.
I contracted a severe case of vheumatism
early last winter by cetting my feet wet. I
tried several thing« for it without benefit.
One day while looking over the Omette, 1
noticed that Pain Balm was positively
guaranteed to cure fheumatism, so bought
a bottle of it and »before using two thirds
of it my rheumatism had taken its (light

since." Sold by^James A. Lee, Druggist.
The Boers bave proved to be

They must hkve buried a lot of

with more ii^ unexpected places.
It must have tkken these plain peo

Origin of the Word
Cuba
Cuba is the name by which the
island was originally known to the
Lncayan Indians, who were with
Columbus when he discovered it.
One of its villages or citjes was
called.by them Cubauacan, and it
is reported that from the similarity
of sounds Columbus, still supposing
himself to be on the coast of Asia,
imagined that this must be a city
of Kublai Khan, the Tartar sover
eign eelebrated by Marco Polo.
The survival of the origiual name
for Cqba is a remarkable instance
of persistence, as the island has
beer, baptized and rebaptized many
times ßince its European discovery.
Columbus first called it Juaua in
honor of Prince John, the son of
Ferdinand and Isabella. After
Ferdinand's death it was called in
his memory, Feruandina. Subse
quently this name was changed to
Santiago, after St. James, the pa
tron saint of Spain. Still later it
was named Ave Maria, in honor of
the Virgin Mary. But none of these
names held and the Indian name
is still preserved.—Literary Era.

may be. The company will set
aside a certain amount each year
pensions and will not call upon its

"After using a few bottles of Kodol
Dyspepsia Cure my wife received perfect
and permanent relief from a severe and
chronic case of stomach trouble," says J.
B. Holly, real estate, insurance and loan
agent, of Mocomb, 111. "Before using
Kodol Dyspepsia Cure she could not eat an
osdinary meal without intense suffering.
She is now entirely cured. Several physi
cians and many remedies bad failed to
give relief." You don't have to diet. Eat
any good food you want, but don't over
load the stomach. Kodol Dyspepsia Cure
will always digest it for you. John K.

winsville, New York, in 1819, and
when she was seventeen years old

under the care of Mrs. Allen, her
mother, who became known as the
mother of the town of Houston"
The young girl, rich beautiful and
accomplished, was feted like a
queen. Gen. Sam Houston, then
the president, presented to her a
horse which he rode at San Jacinto.

richest plantation owner in the re
public. He died a few months
later, and seven years after that
she became the bride of James A.
Deuison, afterward justice of the
Supreme Court of Texas, aud
moved to Sau Antonio with him.
There she gathered about her
brilliant coterie of men and women.
It was she who floated the first

HOW IT HAPPENED.
It was kinder funny—that is,
overlookin' the seriousness of it,"
said the landlord of the Pettyville
tavern. "You see, Miss Gabriella
Lanks, who has—not meanin' any
disrespect to her, you understand
been an old maid so long that it's
generally believed to be chronic,
approached the railroad crossin',
and a brakeman waved a red flag at
her to warn her of the danger. She
thought he was trying to flirt with
her, and advanced toward him
with a smile ; and a caboose that
was backin' up struck her good and
plenty. Luckily, no bones were
broken; and the first thing she
said when she recovered conscious
ness was.
"Oh, this is so sudden!"
