A VERY SBRIOUS CHARGE. . — Kentucky Wan Accused of Defrauding the Government, Gwo Persons Have Been Drawing Wm, Holdsclaw’s Ponsion. : O. L, Sues, a United States Pension officer, arrived here a few days ago and left immediately afterwards for North Bloomfield, where he interviewed Wm. Holdsclaw, a Civil War veteran. The purpose of the officer’s visit was to find out whether or not Mr. Holdsclaw is entitled tothe pension he now draws from the government. It was without any difficulty that the officer was satisfled that the claim was just. The reason for doubt comes in the alleged fact that two persons are drawing money for the same pension, the other party living in the State of Kentucky. The officer returned here today on his way to Kentucky to arrest the accused swindler. To defraud the government is a very serious matter aud if the charge is proved it will probably go very hard with the guilty party. ——_—-+ +@e + A Chinese Cariosity. “A Chinaman in San Francisco,” says a -gossiper in the Philadelphia Record, “showed me once an ivory ball as big as your two fists, witl six smaller balls inside it. It was the most wonderful thing I ever saw. The Chinaman said that the balls had been begun by his grandfather and that he was the third generation to work on them. He told me how the work was done. “It begins with a solid block of ivory, which is turned Into a ball and then carved in a latticed pattern with tiny saw toothed knives, Through the lattice, with other-knivesthat are bent in various shapes, the second ball is caryed, but is kept fast to the first one-by a thin strip of ivory left at the top and by another left at the bottom. Then the third ball, with still finer knives, is tackled through the first and second ones, and so the work goes on till all the balls are finished, when the strips that hold them firm are cut away, and they all revolve freely,”one inside the other. : “This Chinaman said it was a com-. mon thing for families to have such balls for hundreds of years—-grandfather, father, son and grandson working on them when they had nothing else to do. They are priceless, of course. Some cheap balls are made of vegetable ivory, being carved while the material is soft, like a potato.

Great consternation was felt by the friends of M. A. Hogarty of Lexington, Ky., when they saw he was turning yellow. His skin slowly changed colbr, also his eyes, and he suffered terribly. Hie malady was Yellow Jaundice. He was treated by the best doctors, but without benefit. Then he was advised to try Electric Bitters, the wonderful Stomach and Liver remedy, and he writes: “After taking two bottles I was wholly cured.” A trial pak its matchless merit for all. tomach, Liver and Kidney troubles Only 50c.

A VERY SBRIOUS CHARGE. . — Kentucky Wan Accused of Defrauding the Government, Gwo Persons Have Been Drawing Wm, Holdsclaw’s Ponsion. : O. L, Sues, a United States Pension officer, arrived here a few days ago and left immediately afterwards for North Bloomfield, where he interviewed Wm. Holdsclaw, a Civil War veteran. The purpose of the officer’s visit was to find out whether or not Mr. Holdsclaw is entitled tothe pension he now draws from the government. It was without any difficulty that the officer was satisfled that the claim was just. The reason for doubt comes in the alleged fact that two persons are drawing money for the same pension, the other party living in the State of Kentucky. The officer returned here today on his way to Kentucky to arrest the accused swindler. To defraud the government is a very serious matter aud if the charge is proved it will probably go very hard with the guilty party. ——_—-+ +@e + A Chinese Cariosity. “A Chinaman in San Francisco,” says a -gossiper in the Philadelphia Record, “showed me once an ivory ball as big as your two fists, witl six smaller balls inside it. It was the most wonderful thing I ever saw. The Chinaman said that the balls had been begun by his grandfather and that he was the third generation to work on them. He told me how the work was done. “It begins with a solid block of ivory, which is turned Into a ball and then carved in a latticed pattern with tiny saw toothed knives, Through the lattice, with other-knivesthat are bent in various shapes, the second ball is caryed, but is kept fast to the first one-by a thin strip of ivory left at the top and by another left at the bottom. Then the third ball, with still finer knives, is tackled through the first and second ones, and so the work goes on till all the balls are finished, when the strips that hold them firm are cut away, and they all revolve freely,”one inside the other. : “This Chinaman said it was a com-. mon thing for families to have such balls for hundreds of years—-grandfather, father, son and grandson working on them when they had nothing else to do. They are priceless, of course. Some cheap balls are made of vegetable ivory, being carved while the material is soft, like a potato.
