Mrs. Y. T. Buck.of Delaney, Ark., had
Scrofula for twenty-five years and most
of the time was under the care of the
doctors who could not relieve her. A
specialist said he
could cure her, but
he filled her with
arsenic and potash
which almost ruined
her constitution. She
then took nearly

them by the wholesale,

<',er trouble. Some
^one advised her to try
S.S.S. and she very
soon fonnd that she had a real blood
remedy at last. She says: "After tak-
ing one dozen bottles of S.S.S. I am
perfectly well, my skin is clcar
and healthy and I would not be in
my former condition for two thousand
dollars. Instead of drying upthepoison
in my system, like the potash and
arsenic, S.S.S. drove the disease out
through the skin, and I was perma-
nently rid of it."

In NrtUtfatnok, Conn., Jan. 15. The an-
nouncement of the death of thin patriot
rarrifH sorrow and regret all over this
broad land, for he was honored and
loved wherever gratitude wanned the
heart of man.
Henry Chalmers Baldwin was bom in
1843. In his boyhood he attended school
in Naugatuek and New Britain. In Au-
gust, 1863, he enlisted in eompany H,
Fifteenth Connecticut volunteers, and
served until tho done of the war His
military record was a creditable one,
and from the first organization of the
Grand Army of the Republic to the
time of his death he was one of its hon-
ored and active member*. In 1809 he
entered Yale Law school, graduating
with the class of 18713. Ho opened an
office in Naugatuck, but his prjictieo ex-
tended until he was compelled to open
branches in New York city and in Wa-
terbury. lie was eminently successful
in tho practice of his chosen profession
and won tho respect of all classes of cit-
izens. Especially was lio hold in high
esteem by tho working people of his |
state, his readiness to always defend
and befriend the poor winning for him
the titlo of the People's Friend.
As an orator and writer Mr. Baldwin
was exceptionally able, his clear, con-
ciso and emphatic niuLncr often carry-
ing conviction where others would have
failed. His epigrams and pointed sim-
iles, of which ho seemed always to pos-
Notbingcould be fairer, more philan-
thropic, or carry more joy in its wake
than the offeror I. A. Slooum. M. C., of
i)8 Fine street. New York City.
Confident that ho lias discovered an
adsolute cure for consumption and all
pulmonary complaints, and to make its
great merits known, he will send, free,
three bottles (the Slocum new system
of medicine) to any reader who is suf-
fering from chest, throat and lung
troubles or consumption.
Ho invites those desirious of obtain-
ing the remedies to simply send him
their express and postoltice address,and
receive in return the three free bottles.
Already this "new scientific course of
medicine" has permanently cured tliou
sands of apparently hopeless cases.
He considers it iiis religiousdutv—a
duty which he owes to humnuit}— to
donate his infallible cure.
Offered freely,apart from its inherent
strength is enough to commend it, and
more so is the perfect confidence of the
great chemist making the offer.
He has proven consumption to be a
curable disease beyond any doubt.
There will be no mistake in sending—
the mistake will bo in overlooking the
Doctor's generous invitation. He h«s
on lile in hia American and European
Laboratories thousands of testimonials
of experience from those cured, in all
parts of the world.

doctrine on that head. He by no means
| fell short in discuasiiig the other propo-
I sitions of the party, and he was a pro-

an to tho ballot. Upon one occosiou he
appeared before a committee of the Con

It may not Is* amiss to call attention
( here to the difference in the environment
I which surrounds the reformers in the
east and those having similar aims in
i other sections of our country. Only
those who have been in the work here
for a dozen or more years know the dis-
couragements which constantly confront
such men a* Henry Baldwin. The influ-
ence exerci.A'd by the overpowering cen-
ters of wealth have so far been insur-
mountable, and it requires no small de-
gree of faith and courage to keep on
battling against what seems always to
bo certain defeat and discomfiture. A
people blinded by the glamour of riches,
besotted by the corrupting influences of
ill gotten power, terrorized by tho
threats of ever present masters and
prejudiced against the rest of the nation
by Mephistophelean flattery and lies fur-
nish poor material to work npon for the
regeneration of mankind. But this has
been what lleury Baldwin had to con-
tend against. Those of you who havo
had some sort of union as tho result of
a common grievance and who had not
to meet every day in the year the blan-
dishments and brutalities, the hypocrisy
and cruelties of a supposedly "superior
class" and its prostituted press; you
who havo had occasional successes to
give you courage—you know little of the
struggle that falls to the lot of the activc
Populist in "the enemy's country."
Some have not had the qualities neces-
sary to tho carrying on of such a fight
and have fallon by tho wayside. Not so
with Henry C. Baldwin, lie died as lit
lived—a pronounced and unflinching
champion of the rights of tho people, a
foe to every wrong built up under plu-
tocracy's reign.
Mr. Baldwin was a brother of Celia B.
Whitehead of Westfield, N. J., a Veil
known writer and speaker on social and
economic questions and a pronounced
advocate of woman's suffrage.

ROYAL HUNT TOMFOOLERY.
What It Costs to Maintain tho l amont
Sport.
A year or two ago, says tho editor of
London Truth, I touk up tho matter of
the royal buckhounrls, for I havo always
thought that anything with less of tin
redeeming feature of sport than to rare
a tame door to some spot, turn it out,
hunt it with dogs, and, having hunted
it down, put it hack in its cart for an-
other day's "sport" cannot well be con-
ceived. When I was engaged in this
crusade, I received many letters assur-
ing me tltfat the doer like being pursued
by dogs, although how the animals con-
voyed their singular idea of pleasure to
tho writers of the letters was uot ex-
plained to me. Now that the bishops
have joined the crusado, we may hope
that the cruel tomfoolery of this royal
hunt will soon oease.
The oountiy pays the costs. The sal-
ary of the master of the buck hounds
(£1,200 per annum) is always enjoyed
by a nobleman, tho occupant of the post
changing with a change of ministers.
Besides this there lire salaries to hunts-
men, whips and others, the pnrohaso
and keep of horses and hounds, etc. I
should supposo that the total outlay
must bo about £3,000 per annum. This
is defrayed, it is true, from the civil
list. But when the amount needed to

and hold his hearers until tho flight of
time was unnoticed. It has boon the
writer's privilege upon several occasions
to witness tho evidence of his wonderful
power in this direction. Mr. Baldwin's
first vote was east as a Democrat. Hi
supported Horace Greeley for president,
taking tho platform in that memorable
campaign. Later he became imbued
with the principles of the Greenback-
Labor party and in 1875 delivered the
first address ever made by one of its ad-
vocates in Hartford. Ho was a delegate(
to the convention which nominated j notes, with the same bonds

"Banking by the Government.**
There is nothing today more encour-
aging in connection with the reform
movement than tho popular interest
taken on the bank question and in favor
of a savings department in connection
with the postal service. This fact lias
been especially noticeable through the
Chicago Itecord, which has recently
presented editorial arguments on the
subject quite frequently. A correspond-
ent of that paper was given space for a
letter which evinces a thoughtful con-
sideration of the subject. It is under
the title, "The Government and Bank
ing," and will be read with interest:
"During the late campaign wo were
frequently informed that (lie govern
mont should keep out of the banking
business entirely; that it did not under
stand tho business and should leave it
to those who did—the national bankers.
Judging from what our government has
done in tho post, it most certainly does
not understand the banking business.
Otherwise it would never have paid tin
national banks interest on their bonds
and then allowed them to issue bank
s security,
if a bank
note has for its face value is his knowl-
edge that the government is behind the
bank as security for the note. It would

ticable and far more profitable had tin

had no interest to pay, but then the
banker would not have reaped the bene-

election, settled down once more to on-

courage. Without hope of reward oi
fear of personal consequences some of
these men havo boldly waged the battle
of the disinherited and oppressed, turn-
ing deaf ears to all allurements and
threats, counting sacrifices as pleasur-
able duties and tho sneers of foes as ap-
plause. Upon the roll of honor made
up of these patriots whish shall some
day be written, the name of Henry C.
Baldwin will have prominent place.
Who that has kept pace with tho reform
who will be the victor in this controver
sy remains to bo seen, but until the gov
eminent sees its way to start either a
postal savings bank or some other such
system prosperity never can return t<

Prince Christian of Denmark, had he
been only a king instead of a prince,
would certainly outrival the story of
Alfred of old and the cakes. Olio day
he had to review some troops at Bierre,
a country town of small dimensions.
Riding home, tired and thirsty, he stop-
ped at a farmhouse to beg a drink. The
old farmer's wife bade him welcome and
enter. As she was at the moment pan-
cake making, she asked him if be would
like some. "Very much, indeed,"re-
plied tho prince, and soon he was com-
fortably seated, enjoying his humble
fare at the kitchen table.
Having finished his meal, he asked
the old dame how much he owed her.
"Nothing at all," was the answer. On
his persisting that he would prefer pay-
ing, she patied his shoulder affection-
ately, saying: "You are a soldier, my
son, and soldiers are always 'herd up.'
I never take anything from them." He
suggested he was not quite so "hard
up" as the generality of them. "Oh, I
know better!" and with a knowing
wink and a nod she turned to her pan-
cake making. "It is quite true, good
mother," said the prince, laughing
heartily, "for, you see, my grandfather
happens to be the king. " "What?" cried
his astonished hostess, dropping her
whisk and nearly upsetting the frying
pan in her fright. A second or two she
gazed at him speechlessly, then remark-
ed naively, "I should iiave asked you
