xi Harrtibvrg, Sar-IiwIirpenrfeAf.) Mrs. Annie Goodling, of Oriental, Juniata county, is just now a noted woman. A representative of the Harrisburg Star-Independent visited Mrs. Goodling at her home recently, and she quickly told her story I am a native of Mifflintown, this county, where i have lived all my life. My maiden name was Elizabeth Cork ins, and 1 was married to Horace Good ling October 24, 18S4.

He is a son of George Goodling, a well-known and wealthy farmer living on an adjoining farm. I used to be real healthy and well, but for several years previous to and after our marriage my health was very poor. I used to do my work myself, but I finally became so weak and worn out that I was unable to continue to perform ordinary house duties. My husband is a farmer by occupation, and consequently my duties were quite arduous. He finally secured a girl who looked after and did the work, while I spent the time trying to get well.

Instead of growing stronger and heartier I got worse. My appetite left me, and I had a peculiar dragging feeling. My boues ached, and at night I was unable to sleep. I was continually annoyed with ft headache, and wjint made things still worse I was unable to retain what little food I did eat. I was In misery day and night.

There seemed nothing would help me, although I hud the best physicians in the vicinity to treat me. Dr. George Weiser, of Phoenix Grove, did all he could for me, but I got worse. Pr. M.

Itntbrock. of Fremont, then endeavored to bring back my appetite, but after trying hia services about a year I decided to make another change and called in Dr. H. Nipple, of Selins Grove. He said I was a very sick woman from head to foot, and expressed himself as being afraid nothing, at least not very much, could be done for me.

After taking ills medicine a year and spending a large sum of money I made up my mind that nothing would save me and I would have to die, although still a comparatively young woman. Sometimes all these palus would come together, and I felt as though I would go crazy. I became so emaciated that there was nothing ieft but skin and bones. A neighbor of ours named John Showers came to our place one Sunday, and. In om conversation, I described my condition.

He said be had rend in a paper of several ladles who complained about the same way and were cured by using a medicine known as Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. 1 thought as last resort I would give this remedy a trial. I sent for one dollar's worth, and after using I hem felt much better. My appetite came back to a great extent.

I then sent for more of the pills, and after I had taken the last lot I really felt like a different woman. The rheumatism was all gone and my liver, which had been sore for several years, was in good order. The catarrh, which I had in my head, disappeared in a very mysterious manner, and I tell you I felt happy. I just think these Pink Pills are the finest medicine any woman can take. Gradually I regained my flesh until I felt nud looked like my old self again.

My husband and our neighbors are sure Dr. Williams Pink Pills ore the best medicine a person can take." Mrs. Goodling is In every respect a truthful lady, as was afterwards learned upon inquiry among her neighbors. Her family is also of good standing fn Juniata county, where the name of Goodling is familiar to every one. These pills may be had of all druggists or by mail from Dr.

Williams' Medicine Company, Schenectady. who, if requested, will send further particulars. INTERESTING WILL CONTEST Charges Which Affect the Inheritance of Every One Named in the Testament. Argument was yesterday heard by the Judges of the Orphans' Court In the dispute over the proponed onler arranging for the trial In the Common Hoas Court of the validity of (he will of Margaret F. deceased.

The will disposed of over Miss Krwin riled at the age of 88 years in January, 1804, at her residence, 1K35 Arch street. The contestant of the will Is Mrs. Mary Erwln Agnew, a niece of the decedent. There ore accusations Involved of combination between Joseph 11. Tlndall.

Dr. Lewis H. Adler. the physician who attended Miss Krwiii. nix! Mary Frances Cole, Ellen C.

Moore and Augustn I.ee. three colored servants of Hnvin, with Mr. Tlndall as the principal. There are two wills In the case. The tirst, it Is claimed, was destroyed by Mary Frances Cole, under an agreement between her and the other parties mentioned, so that the probate of the second will could be obtained.

The Court some time ago decided that the matter should be passed upon by Jury iu the Common l'leas. The argument yesterday was upon the request of John G. Johnson, representing the parties benefited under the last will, to have the Court point out whrft questions should be put before the jury at the coining trial. M. Hampton Todd, appearing for Mrs.

Agnew. resisted this, upon the ground that the whole case should go before the jury, because under the charges made against Mr. Tlndall that he brought undue influence to bear on the testatrix everybody named in the will was affected as to their inheritance, and that it wulud not be proper to omit any portion of the case. Decision was reserved. COLLINS FOUND GUILTY The Defense Was Ingenious But It Did Wot Avail Him.

Daniel Collins was yesterday convicted of selling liquor without a license and on Sunday at 1000 Hamilton street. In January of last year Secretary Glbbony, of the Law and Order Society, swore out a warrant for the arrest of Collins and Lawrence Powers, but when the place was raided only the latter was arrested. He was afterward sentenced, but Collins evaded arrest until a little over a month ago, when he was caught in one of the corridors of the City Hall. He pleaded not guilty to the charge and yesterday was represented by Attorney Samuel E. Cavin, who declared that his client had nothing whatever to do with the sale of liquor at the place mentioned and contended that even If he had been Interested In It, the plnce was occupied by a regularly chartered club, the Central Repub-llian Club of the Fifteenth ward, which sold liquor only to its members.

He showed that Powers, who was secretary of the organization, had rented the premises and that Collins had nothing to do with the club except that of being a member. The Jury, however, brought In a verdict of guilty and Judge Heed deferred sentence. SENTENCED TO FIVE YEARS His Fate, However, Fails to Shake the Herves of George Williams. George Williams, who last Thursday pleaded guilty before Judge Reed in Quarter Sessions Court, No. 1, to attempting to feloniously assault 14-year-old Annie Lasson, of 925 Ogdcn street, was yesterday sentenced to five years in the Eastern Penitentlarv.

When Williams pleaded guilty to the charge the testimony heard showed that he had enticed the chili luto a vacant bouse at 870 North Mnth street, and his counsel, Zlba T. Moore, was given until yeBterdav to show his client previous good character He refrained from doing anything of the kind, however, upon learning that Assistant District Attorney Finletter had testimony of an opposite character to present should the doors for such evidence be opened to him. When Williams was sentenced he apparently paid no attention to what was going on about him, and walked back to the dock entirely unconcerned. His wife, however, had to be led from the court room by relatives. THE- WORK OF LEGISLATION AESUMED BY HOUSE AND SF iTE.

In 7, HERBERT TALKS ON PATRIOTISM Tit Annul Dinner of the Hibernian Society is a Pronounced Success and Bring, Together Famous Bcdy of Men Mayor Stuart Presides-, and Accept! on Behalf of the City an Oil Pivoting of Commodore Barry, Presented by General Mnlholland. Secretary Herbert Responds to the Toast of the "United States" Many Other Well-Known Speakers. SECRETARY HEREERT. The anniversary ce'ebratioa of St. Pat rick's birth by fue Hibernian Society of Philadelphia, which took place In the Con tineutal Hotel last evening, was one of the most notable events ever In the history of that famous and historic organization.

As is the custom with the society the birthday of Ireland's patron saint was patri otically observed by an elaborate dinner dur ing which men prominent in local, btate, national and even International circles gatu ered to pay homage to the memory of the venerated nnostle. Mayor Stuart, the president or the so oiety. occupied the head of the table as toast master. At his right Bat Secretary of the Xavy Herbert. On either side of the toastmaster at the speakers' table were: Duross O'llryan, James M.

Beck, Deputy Commissioner of Pensions D. J. Murphy, Charles H. Cramp, Congressman William McAleer, Itev. Henry C.

McCook. D. D. president of the Scotch-Irish Society; Di rector of the Mint U. E.

Preston, Ex-Judge Theodore K. Jenkins, General Louis Wag ner, David E. Davies, president of the "Welsh Society; John Ferguson, president of St. Andrews Society, and General St, Clair Mulholland. The banqueting hall was a perfect bower of flowers.

The alcoves and windows throughout the room were banked with stately palms, while In the centre of the north wall was arranged a handsome pyra mid of potted plants over which was hung the banner of the society. The banqueting tables were profusely strewn with exquisite roses, while beds of Easter lilies, carnations, golden rod and other beautiful cut flowers formed strik lugly attractive centre pieces. A PICTURE OF COMMODORE BARRY. When dinner had been served Mayor Stu art rapped for order, and In a brief speech presented General St. Clnlr Mulholland, In response General Mulholland arose and pointing to a handsome portrait In oils of Commodore John Harry, which, draped In the colors of America and Ireland, hung be hind the toast master, said: "The Hibernian Society wishes me to pre sent to the city the beautiful work of art you see herea portrait of one of our early members.

John Barry, of Wexford, was one of the most illustrious of Ireland's sons. He was the founder of the navy of the United States, which navy from the very beginning to the present hour has been the admiration and a model of all the nations of the earth. He was the organizer of that navy that has given to the world John Paul Jones, Charles Stewart, "Old Ironsides Preble, Decatur, Porter and Farragut, and made 'Columbia the gem of the ocean, We ask that this portrait be placed in Inde pendence Hall, the birthplace of liberty, and may I add, the cradle of the Hiterniau Society, for no one can read the history of the Continental Congress without feeling how closely connected this society was with that body, and hence with Independence Hall. "The secretary and many members of the Continental Congress were members of the Hibernian Society; the copy of the Declara tion of Independence, that was signed by the Congress, was drawn up by a member of this society. Colonel Nixon, another of our members, read the Declaration for the first time from the steps of the sacred edifice, while 'Saucy, Jack Barry's victorious guns peeled the glad tidings over the At lantic waves.

And when this portrait goes to the old hall, it will seem as though Commodore Barry was going home to his friends, for he will be surrounded by portraits of many of his -fellow-members of the Hiber nian Society George Washington, Robert Morris, John Dickenson, Thomas McKean, signers of the Declaration of Independence, and Anthony Wayne and eleven other gen erals of the Continental army. We ask that It be placed there as an evidence of our honor and homage offered to the memory of this great and noble character. In accepting the portrait, President Stuart said that as the chief officer of the Hiber nian Society it gave him untold pleasure to present the same to himself as Mayor for the citizens of Philadelphia. He would take additional pleasure, he said, tn transmit ting the same to the legislative branch of the government, to be hung in Independence Hall. OUR GREAT COUNTRY.

After the memories of St. Patrick and George Washington had been drunk in si leuce, Mayor Stuart, in a few eulogistic re marks, introduced Secretary of the Navy Herbert, who responded to the toast of "The United States." Iu the course of his remarks the Secretary said: "This government, as It is now, we cannot correctly value without glancing back for a moment at Its history. When one hundred years ago, Washington was in the midst of his second term as President, the new government, inaugurated six years before, was still regarded as an experiment. Many questions about it remained unsettled. The system was complex.

The States had expressly reserved to themselves all powers not granted. If there was a question as to whether the General Government transcended its powers, did that government or the States have the right to Judge of this question? "If it had been plainly written down In that instrument that a State by entering th gave to the General Government right to decide what were Its own powers, the Union never could have been formed. So these questions were left debatable and un settled necessorlly adjourned to be decided by the course of future events. The statesmen, who then believed that the States had each for itself this right of ultimate decision, were not. confined to any section of the Union.

"Looking backward over the period that has elapsed since the thirteen colonies won their independence and looking forward as far as we may Into the limitless future, tho great civil war, bloody and prolonged though It was, was nevertheless but a single incident In the final make-up of our government, one -of the steps necessary to be taken before this country could be fairly put upon the mighty career for which it is destined among the nations of the earth. "That war is a final, accepted ond concln-sive decision that the union of these States Is forever Indissoluble, and yet for us and our posterity It stands for more than this. It Is the loftleat monument In the world of history to the heroism, the devotion, the ling Inconsistencies of fate that a land so blessed with so many natural advantages as Ireland should be the constant prey of every misfortune that can befall ft people. He briefly referred to the early history of the country and said, he honored the reverence which Irishmen always display toward their native land. The audience greeted this remark with cheers and applause and somebody waved a green flag at the speaker's table.

If the Irish have been a success in America the speaker said, they deserved It be cause they won their success by sheer force of character and strength of muscle. James M. Beck answered to the toast of "Pennsylvania." and during his speech he said that the State was the parent of the Republic. The Commonwealth had grown in majesty and bad contributed as none other to the liberties and happiness of mankind. It was in Pennsylvania, he said, that the people first protested against African slavery, and the first opposition against unjust taxation was manifested by her merchants.

The speaker referred at length to the historic associations of the State and dwelt on the fact that ft was on Pennsylvania sol that the decisive battle was fought which gave to the country its new birth of freedom. In the absence of Mayor-elect Charles F. Warwick, to whom was assigned the toast of "Philadelphia," Lawyer Henry J. McCarthy responded very ably and eloquently, and he did not hesitate to say that this city owed a great deal of Its present prosperity to the hard work and enterprise of the Irishmen. This sentiment his hearers liberally applauded and they cheered the many names of well-known Irishmen who had Identified themselves with the progress of Philadelphia as he named them.

James W. King answered to the toast of "The Press," and he paid a warm tribute to the Irishman In journalism. He said the profession represented the achievements of the enlightened mind, and in the great battles for human progress which will be fought during the coming century the press would do Its full share. He rehearsed with an eloquence that was appreciated the names of Irishmen who had won prominence In newspaper work. General Louis Wagner responded to the toast of "Our Sister Societies," and made a bright little speech.

At its conclusion many of the guests of the society were called upon for informal remarks, and many clever responses were made. Some songs were sung and some stories were told, and the evening1 was spent about as pleasantly as St. Patrick himself could have wished.
