Senator Hearst, of California, spends 
$50,000 a year on his racing stable. 
Mr. J. H. W alsh, noted as an author of 
horse and sporting books under the name of 
“Stonehenge,” died a few days ago at his 
home in London, England, aged 78 years. 
The Eastern alumnae of Wells College, at 
their annual meeting this week at New York, 
about 40 women being present, elected Mrs. 
Frances Folsom Cleveland as President for the 
ensuing year—two Presidents in the White 
House now. 
Mrs. Hancock’s new home in Washington 
is said to be worth $35,000, but owing to the 
former owner’s generosity it cost but $16,000. 
It is a three story building, with a foundation 
story of brown stone and a brown stone tower 
on the corner. 
Knut Nelson, Minnesota’s Scandinavian 
Congressman, is spoken of as the successor of 
Senator Sabin a year hence. Sabin is 
charged with inactivity as regards Minnesota 
interests, and is rather unpopular with his 
party at home. 
Ex-United States Attorney-General 
Brewster died at his home in Philadelphia 
Tuesday morning. His death was caused by 
Bright’s disease. He was 71 years old. His 
demise was unexpected, the attending physi 
cian having expressed an opinion on Monday 
that the patient was improving. 
Meissonier, the famous French painter, is 
a very small man with a very large head, and 
a long white beard that sweeps over his chest 
He lives in a gorgeous house in Paris, but he 
is said to be discontented because, wealthy as 
he is, he is not wealthier. 
Chief Justice Waite only left property 
valued at $30,000 or less, all invested in his 
house at Washington. This, with an insur 
ance of $5,000, is all he left his family. The 
insurance won’t be due for 90 days and his 
family have really no support in the mean 
time except what friends may give them. 
Senator Stanford, the California mill¬ 
ionaire is having a tomb built at San Francisj 
co, which is to rival that of Jay Gould at 
Woodlavvn, or the Vanderbilts’ at Staten Is¬ 
land. It will be of granite lined with marble, 
and will be 25 feet square. The architect has 
a carte blanche as to cost, and it is anticipa¬ 
ted that $100,000 will not cover the expense. 
Henry Bergh Jr., who succeeds his 
uncle as President of the Society for the Pre¬ 
vention of Cruelty to Animals, is 38 years of 
age and a bachelor. He has been connected 
with the society ever since 1874, and was its 
Secretary at the time he was elected Presi¬ 
dent. Mr. Bergh is said to have a great many 
of his uncle’s qualities, a strong will being 
one of the most marked. 
The late William F. Lee, of New York, was 
devoted to good works from his early youth. 
For 35 years he was chairman of the employ¬ 
ment committee of the Y. M. C. A. When a 
young man he gave $250 a year to the associ- 
tion, but year by year his donation increased, 
until it amounted to $7,000. For 20 years he 
worked in Grace Mission, in East Fourteenth 
Street, which is devoted to the conversion of 
the erring girls who frequent that neighbor¬ 
hood. 
Monsieur Joseph, Mr. W. K. Vanderbilt’s 
$10,000 chef , or “Gastronomical Director, ’ as 
he prefers to be called, is an advocate of small 
dinners well cooked. He does not believe in 
a man gorging himself with a lot of made 
dishes, but thinks that he should satisfy him¬ 
self with the_good things the market affords, 
prepared by an intelligent cook. But the 
question arises, must one pay $10,000 a year, 
with a house to live in thrown in, for the ser¬ 
vices of an intelligent cook? 
Chief Greeley, of the Weather Bureau, 
having predicted that east of the Mississippi 
the hottest days of next summer will occur 
between July 12 and 17, the Detroit Journal 
offers to pay $500 to General Greely or any 
other person in the United States, who will 
send to the Detroit Journal, before June 1, a 
correct guess as to the three days of the com¬ 
ing summer on which the thermometer at 
the Detroit Signal Office shall register the 
highest temperature. The guesses must be 
written on postal cards, and must give the 
correct name and address of the sender. The 
award will be made October 1. Here’s a 
chance for weather prophets and good guess- 
ers.

What Your Friends and Neighbors Say on 
a Matter of Vital Importance. 
Below will be found a sample of the multi¬ 
tude of letters of encouragement Messrs. H. H. 
Warner & Co., of Rochester, N. Y., daily re¬ 
ceive. The subjoined unsolicited testimonials 
are from your friends and neighbors, ladies 
and gentlemen you know and esteem for their 
honor and straightforwardness, and whowould 
scorn to be a party to any deception. What 
has been done for others can be done for you, 
and it is folly, nay suicidal, to longer suffer 
when the means of recovery lie at your very 
door: 
New York City (253 Fifth Ave).—It gives 
me pleasure to express my faith in the virtue 
of “Warner’s Safe Cure,” which is the only 
medicine I ever take or reco mmend. Six years 
ago I received the most pronounced benefit 
from its use at a time when suffering from 
mental overwork, and I have subsequently in 
my travels as a public lecturer recommeuded 
it to many people, and personally know of 
several cases where “Warner’s Safe Cure” has 
succeeded when the doctors failed. Although 
a perfectly well woman I take several bottles 
every spring just as I take additional care in 
the selection of tonic-giving food in this sea¬ 
son, believing in the ounce of “prevention” 
rather than the necessity for the pound of cure, 
and in every instance “Warner’s Safe Cure” 
has the effect to give new energy and vitality 
to all my powers. 
Editor and Proprietor of “Dress” Magazine. 
Brooklyn, N. Y., (263 Sumner Ave.)—Dec. 
17, 1887.—I can truly say that your medicine 
has done our family a great deal of good. 
Brooklyn, N. Y., (30 Irving Place.) Dec. 2 
1887,—Our folks praise “Warner’s Safe Cure” 
very highly, in fact could not do without it. 
Brooklyn. (248 Raymond St.) May 5, 1885. 
About ten years since I was taken very sick, 
and the doctors said I had Bright’s Disease, 
and could not last long. I suffered severely 
and for quite a long time. I then appeared to 
improve some and got round, but soon relaps¬ 
ed into the same condition as before, and so it 
went on for a long time, always suffering, 
never well—miserable and despondent. At 
last a friend, member of the same lodge, F. & 
A. M., persuaded me to try “Warner’s Safe 
Cure,” which I did, and very soon experienced 
relief. I continued steadily with it for some 
months, much to the disgust of my physician, 
an old school allopath, and now having dis¬ 
continued the use for more than a year feel 
better than for years past. In fact, I have no 
symptoms of anything being wrong with my 
kidneys, no pain, the water flowing freely 
without paiu, of a good clear color, free from 
sediment and normal in quantity. Further¬ 
more, I am now free from those distressing 
pains in the loins, which at one time were ever 
present, no matter what position I might be 
in, sitting or standing, in bed or the easy 
chair. In fact I feel to-day that “Warner’s 
Safe Cure” has cured me of a very serious 
complaint, not only for the time being but per¬ 
manently. It is now more than a year since;i 
took the last bottle of “Warner’s Safe Cure ” 
and since that time I have not attempted any 
kind of diet, but have eaten and drank tea, 
coffee or anything else I might desire, and to¬ 
day am feeling better, weigh more, have a bet¬ 
ter appetite, am altogether a different man 
from what I was ten years ago.
