HON. DIVIO II. HILL
A Pen Picture of the flan Whom
the Democrats Tlay Nomi
nate for President.
The New York Sun is quoted
as follows on the lifo and charac
ter of David B. Hill :
David B. llill is 80 ; he never
smoked a cigar, never took a
drink, and if all reports he true,
never loved a woman. Ilis politi
cal ambition is wife and family
to him. He has had very little
home life. In his early days he
was a firslrate baseball player.
Then he became a studious young
lawyer in Elmira, and then a poli
tician in that city. That was in
1802. He was admitted to the bar
in 1884. lie was an assemblyman
in 1871, presided over the Demo
cratic state conventions of 1877,
1881 and 1894 ; was alderman in
Elmira in 1880 and 1881, and may
or of that city in 1882. He was
lieutenant governor from 1882 to
188b and governor until 1891, and
United States senator until he
was succeeded by Senator Platt
on March 4, 1897. In 18*92 he was
a prominent candidate- for the
Democratic nomination for Presi
dent, and in 1894 I e was defeated
as tin- Democratic, candidate for
gove i nor.
Shortly sifter lie was elected
United Stale* senator l.e left hi*
old homo in Klmira ami moved to
Alhanv. He bought Wolfert’s
Roost from the late Fritz Kinmet.
One of the greatest attractions of
tlie place i* the great bathing
plunge. ().i blight days in the
spring, Miinmer and fall Mr. Hill
can be found in the lawn or in the
field* of tVolfelt’s Roost d'Ossed
in hand-me downs anil an old
slouch hat and unshaven. Hi*
home is uni by a housekeeper and
half a dozen men servant'. 11 is
in'ome as a lawyer is about $100,
000. Mr. Hill Ins only one eon
ti lant on eartli, and that i* \\ 111
iSPm F. .Sheehan, who was I'eaten
ant governor under Gov. Roswell
t’. Flower.
Mr. Hill js hospitable at his
I• <mio and is fond of it. He lias
a great library, political and legal,
and be occasionally likes to read
ti■•lion. If you go theie to see
him and are thirsty, lie lias any
tiling that any other gentleman
has in his cellcr ami you are wel
come to it. lie will stand by and
lake either a glass of lemonade
or a glass of mill* and sometimes
he will mix the lemonade with the
milk, much to the concern of his
butler, especially on hot days.
Mr. Hill likes to go to the theu-^
ter, but wants to see something
funny. He is considered a won
derfully able lawyer, raid lie
adopts the old-fashioned rule ot
preparing his own cases. In
money matters he is considered
one of t ho most honest men in the
country, but lie does not look up
on this as a virtue, but as a duty,

Duties of Teachers.
Only the sincere and honest and
| generous-hearted should dure
teach anything. Tlu» moment a
m:.n announce.' hiiii'elf as a ‘eaeh
j cr in any department of life, he
dictates the idea r f a certain sup
eriority. It should be bis aim to
live up to that idea. It is said ol
a man physically, that his consti
tution is only as strong as the
weakest part of iii' body ; it is
said of a country that its civiliza
tion can only bo estimated by its
most uncivilized contingency. The
same estimate must be made of
j character.—Ella \\ heeler Wilcox,

Good Health
and pure blood are inseparable. If
your blood is bad, your health must suf
fer. Poor blood allows the body to lose
vitality just as a poor fire under the
boiler allows the steam to run down.
From po-to impure blood is but
a step, and impure blood is mother to a
large percentage of human ills. Dr.
Harter’s Iron Tonic is an antidote for
both poor and impure blood, for it is
both a builder and purifier — a food
and a medicine. It is the best combi
nation of the kind known to medical
science, and its success for nearly half
a century has led to its endorsement by
thousands of medical men who have
been unable to find a substitute.
Dr. Harter’s
|ron Tonic
will insure you against the many evils resulting
from impure blood. Scrofula, pimples, blotches,
kidney disorders, rheumatism. gout, dyspepsia,
female weakness, amrmia, chlorosis, etc., are a
few of them; but the greatest evil, the greatest
danger, is the general weakening of the wliolo
system, which affords au opening for every
passing disease.
The following is only one of the thousands of
testimonials we have received:
Detroit, Mich.. .Tan. 10, 1901.
"I commenced using Ur. Harter's Irun Tonlo
when prostrate from a severe attack of rheuma
tism. After using three bottles all traces of
this disease were completely eradicated from my
system, and my general health was restored.
As a blood purifier I)r. Harter's Iron Tonlo
has no equal, ami I most sincerely recommend
It to all persons suffering from Indigestion,
fatigue, rheumatism, and the many weakened
conditions of the system produced by impover
ished blood." MargartteF. Yeazell,
No. 610 Second Ave.

(MEAT COAL STRIKE
London Knight Tells About Con
ditions in the Pennsylva
nia Coal Fields.
London Knight, well known as
a magazine contributor, lias aa
illustrated article in donkey's
Home Journal for November on
“Wli.at the Coal Strike lias
Done,’’ that brings to light some
verv interesting details concern
ing the inner workings of both
the operators and the miners.
Mr. Knight spent* considerable
time in the anthracite coat regions
as special representative of Coil?
Home Journal and gives a fair
impartial report of his investiga
tions. lie says the condition of
the miners and their families has
been grossly misrepresented to
the public and that they are not
at all the down trodden, poveity
'tricken class they have been rop
r< scnted hy many writers. Ho
claims for them that they are
among the host paid workingmen
in i he world ; that they have good
homes and educated families. On
the other hand, Mr. Knight does
not spare the operator. I It* hi ends
as false t lie statement of Hie oper
atin' that be can not pay a higher
price for labor without working
his mine at loss. “Tile fact of
the matter is,” says Mr. Knight,
“that the combined profits of the
anthracite operator for the past
tear represented sixteen per cent,
on the stock ot the companies,
while private mine-owners, who
work itl greater disadvantage in
the matter of ft eight-rates, tn no
case that I have beeu able to dis
cover, made lc>s than fifteen per
cent, on the investment ”
"Hut/' continues Mr. Knight,
“from a sociological standpoint,
the worst feature of this colossal
conJl el has been the general dis
satisfaction and destruction of
confidence that it created. It is
perceptible in the miner’s home.
It is seen in the faces of himself
and his family. Thrift, economy,
the education of the children, the
payments on the homes, all seem
to be forgottou, swallowed up in
llie memory of his grievances. As
one walks the streets of .Shenan
doah, a general air ot sullen de
pression pervades the place
Neighbors of years refuse to speak
as they pass; unkempt children
loiter m the alleys, when they
should be in school, and even the
hottseof God is not free from the
curse that has fallen over the
laud,”
Jaws
| Tightly LecKed. From
Nervous Spasms.
Physicians Could
Not Prevent Fits.
Dr. Miles’Nervine Cured
My Wife.
Dr. Mile.-’ Nervine has been successful!)'
tried in thousands of cases of nervous disor
ders, but never,has it made a better record than
when used in the treatment of tits or spasms.
Thousands of testimonials prove this, and in
nearly every instance the writer has stated
that the fits ceased after the fir>t dose of Ner
vine was given. The statement is repeated
i in the following:
“Seven years ago my wife commenced
having spasms or fits and 1 called in my
home phvsician and he said she was para
lyzed. lie rubbed her with salt water aud
gave her calomel and she eventually got
some better, but in a short time she had
another attack. She was confined to her
| bed for three months and the doctor could
not help her. She had fits frequently, some
times very severe. Her hands would cramp
so we could not open them and she finally
got so her jaws would become locked,
l'inally 1 saw the doctor was doing her no
good and ordered a bottle of Dr. Miles’ Re
storative Nervine. She received so much
benefit from the first bottle that I got some
more. She has taken a number of bottles
but has never had a lit since taking the first
dose She also thinks very highly of Dr.
Miles’ Nerve and l iver Pills and is never
without them. If there is anv way of mak
ing this testimonial stronger do so because
of die good the Dr. Miles Restorative Nerv
ine did mv wife."—-Wm. Y. Allen, P. M.,
