A fire, which was thought to have been ex tinguished in the afternoon, broke on Satur day at midnight in Janies Logan's house on the South side of the river. Logan and his wife, in attempting to rescue a son aged nine years from the upper story in which he was sleeping, were overcome by the heat and smoke and with the son perished. Mrs. Lo gan's body was found burned to a crisp and Logan was found upon his back with his child clasped in his arms, both dead. Another child, Lottie, aged fourteen years, was res cued, but was so severely burned that she cannot recover. Two other children were rescued uninjured. The house was not wholly destroyed. Logan was 40 years of age and prominent in business and politics, being at the time of his death chairman of the demo cratic county committee. The Pennsylvania Scourge. Wilkesbarre, Pa., May 4. The death roll at Plymouth today is the highest since the outbreak of the epedemic. Eleven deaths were reported up ta 5 o’clock this afternoon. The funerals of five victims of the scourge took place today.

The Militia Called on to Disperse the Rioters Who Had Col lected in the Streets. An Engagement Between the Two Ensned In Which Two Men Were Killed and Several Wounded Chicago, May 4. Sheriff llausbet of this city, has just re ceived word from Lemont that a collision oc curred between the troops and striking quarry men at that town this morning and that two of the strikers were killed. Two companies of State troops went to Lemont this morning to guard the quarries there and to enable the non-striking men to resume work. No de tails have yet been received. I'he action of the sheriff of Wills county in releasing seventy strikers captured by the troops near Joliet, la-t Saturday, and who came from Lemont, is Assigned as one of the causes of the present outbreak. 12.15 P. M.—Three companies of the State troops from Joliet left for Lemont and dis embarked at the the Excelsior stone quarry, two miles south of Lemont. They were then advised that the strikers in large numbers had made an assault upon men loading a canal boat with stone, one mile north of Le mont. Proceeding to that point a collision between the troops anti strikers occurred there a little before noon. Lemont, 111 May 4. About 1000 strikers assembled at the depot here this morning, with the intention uj cap turing the militia, if any came. Afterwards they went to Walker Singer’s quarries and routed them. At 0 30, four companies ol militia and a detachment of battery was carried from Jo liet, with Gen. Vance and Col Bennett in in command. They stopped at Excelsion quarry and one company was deployed as skirmishers, the other three inarching to the quarries, where a mob was congregated, to disperse them. The troops were met on the edge of the town by a mob of 300 or 400. Two compa nies, under command of Col. Bennet, formed the front and charged up Main street, with fixed bayonets. The other companies with the detachment ot battery, formed the right and left on the side of the streets, and the command “forward, charge bayonets,” was given. The mob, with wild hooting and cheering, met the main front with clubs and rocks. As the troops advanced steadily, the mob gave way to the side of the street and hurled a shower of rocks at them, and one fired a shot. Col. Bennett ordered them to be dispersed and the number that refused to leave were bradded with bayonets. One man was seri ously stabbed. Further up the street the mob reformed and commenced hurling stones. A detachment was sent to disperse them and fired a volley, after which the rioters scattered. Two men were killed. The troops are now clearing the streets of howling women and children. More trouble is apprehended. The troops will encamp at the Singer quarries. The militia displayed the coolest bravery. It is reported that a woman and child was killed. A number of soldiers were badly hurt bv the flying missiles. The following official report from Adjutant General Vance, has been sent to Gov. Ogles by Col. Bennett removed his command,except one company, from Joliet to Lemont, arriv ing about 9 A. M., and formed a line south of Lemont. Deputy Sheriff Potter conducted the troops into Lemont, near the Alton depot, where from 500 to 1500 strikers were congregated. They were commanded to disperse and go to their houses, by Deputy Sheriff Potter, but they would not. The strikers rushed toward the troops, throwing stones. Maj. Heffernan and one or two others were struck and elight lv wounded. The air was full of stones. In salf defence the troops fired. Two strikers were killed and several wounded. Before the troops fired, a pistol was fired from a house into the troops. The troops have passed on to their original destination, the Singer quarry. A great many people are on the streets now, but all is quiet." When the mob were charged at the point of bayonet, Company A suffered severely, sixteen men being hit by stones, and one of them, private, George Baggs, was badly hurt. The rear dank of the company faced about and opened fire. Company B was attacked on the right flank further north. As the mob persisted in an attack, about ten shots were fired and Com pany A charged the mob which retired. It was hire where the casualties occurred. The troops have gone into camp, and though there are large crowds lingering about,everv thing at present is quiet, but there are grave fears of disturbance at any moment. It is claimed that the woman who was wounded accidentally, advanced toward a soldier with a stone in her hand and seized his musket. He tripped her up, and in fall ing she fell against his bayonet. THE CHICAGO FRAUD. The Case of Markin to Come Before the U. s. Circuit Court. New York, May 4. A Washington special says: The noted case of Joseph C. Mackin of Chicago, con victed of illegal acts in connection with the ballot, comes up for re-hearing this week be fore the U. S. Circuit Court, sitting in Chi cago. It is claimed that Mackin'a trial was unconstitutional because he was convicted on the information process instead of indictment as provided for in the fifth amendment to the constitution. The Supreme Judicial Court has just rendered a decision declaring it un constitutional to make a sentence for an in famous crime on any other process than in dictment. A crime punishable by imprison ment by a term of years at hard labor is an infamous crime, and the Supreme Court de clares any one so sentenced on Information is entitled to be released oil habeas corpus. Gen. (.rant’s Condition. New York. May 4. Gen. Grant worked on his book today, dic tating for nearly two hours, and briuging the events up to the return of the array of the Potomac to Washington. “He is not quite as well as yesterday,” said Col. Fred Grant, “though of course that does not mean that he is bad. He simply does not feel as well. The swelling is still in his throat, but the pain has not increased. The weather being so cold has prevented him from going out, and that may have an effect on him. His appetite is good though he can yet only use liquid nourishment.” FOREIGN NEWS ENGLAND AND RUSSIA. Gladstone Says That England and Russia are Now Ready to Refer to a Sovereign ol Some Friendly state Any Eii-ting Difficulties, With a View to a Satisfac tory Settlement. Varna, M*v 4. The Porte hears that Russia is massing troops at Odessa and Sebastopol, and holding them in readiness to embark for a place near the Bosphorus if England attempts to force the Dardanelles. Copenhagen, May 4. An English man-of-war passed Skaw for the Cattegat today. Eleven ironclads of unknown nationalities passed through the great belt on Friday for the Baltic. The governments of Denmark, Sweeden ana I Norway agree to maintain an attttudeof strict neutrality in event of war between England and Russia. St. Petersburg. May 4. Col. Aminoff. commander of the Finish rifle guards, has been ordered here. The j commander at Vladwoster has been ordered to send all the women away from that post. This is probably with a view of increasing defences there. London, May 4. It is reported that the Russians are blow-" ing up rocks in Cronstadt harbor with dyna mite so that the Russian fleet will not be able to move. St, Petersburg, May 4. The Russian minister of war has ordered that the mountain artillery corps of the Tur i kestan army be mobilized immediately. A i number Of Cossack regiments have been ordered to reinforce the tf.ops in Central Asia. It is reported that the squardron has been ordered to the -Mediterranean. The Finland railway has been commanded to pre pare for the transportation of 10,000 gun I charges and 30 mitrailleuses. A German firm has been given an order to make 130,000 pairs of boots for the Russian infantry. London, May 4. The admiralty has issued an order stopping the further charter of ships of small capacity that were intended to be u«ed for the trans portation of troops This order is regarded as a foreshadowing of the stoppage of all war preparations. Bombay. May 4. The five Russian men-of-war which were recently reported as passing Aden, have heen seen off this harbor. It is beiieved they are going to Batavia for coal. London, May 4. The Times urges that the advance upon Herat by the Russians should constitute a distinct casus belli without further delicate discussion. Pesther Lloyd says that a trifling mishap on the Afghan frontier may annihilate all hopes of peace. The Deutiche Zeitung says that Russian diplomacy is not as yet any where near the end of its artifices and tricks. Russia may again and again put a difficulty in the way of settlement, and perhaps at last openly declare that she will make no conces sion in the boundary question. The Standard, in referring to the Queen's return. 6ays everything has been done to drag the nation into slumber, philters am) rhetoric and adulteration having been copi ously applied to etupify its conscience. Par liament participates in the sleep as it has participated also in the draught, but the Crown does not share in the general abase ment and is perhaps watching for the re stored sobriety and returning manliness of the nation. M. De Staal was present at the royal acad emy banquet. Earl Granville in his speech expressed a somewhat confident hope “that both Eng land and other friendly nations represented here tonight, may find for years to come, by honorable and good relations, means of con tinuing their course along the happy paths and fertilizing channels of continual peace." Lord Granville said that both governments would facilitate enquiry as much as possible. The l’etijdeh district will remain a neutral territory during the progress of negotiations. “The Russian government,” continued Granville, “have shown their readiness to consider the question of withdrawing their troops, should the decision of the Afghan boundary commission prove to be against them. Any differences that may arise re garding the interpretation of the passages in the despatches of the two governments would he dealt with in a manner consistent with the honor of both countries.” To other interrogotories, Lord Granville said the British government had sanctioned the seizure of the Bosphore-Egyption with out giving any opinion as to the loyalty of the action, France having demanded the re opening of the office of the paper and the punishment of the persons concerned in the seizure and suppression. England, without disclaiming any of her share of the respon sibility for the act of the seizure, advised Egypt to apologize to France and allow the Bosphore-Egyptian to re-appear. London, May 4. In the House of Commons today,"in re sponse to a question by Sir Stafford North cote, Gladstone sail) all the impediments in the way of a friendly prosecution of the cor respondence on the Afghan question between England ami Russia, appeared to be removed. The two governments, he said, were now ready to refer to a sovereign of some friendly State any difficulties which may be found to exist in regard to the agreement of the ltlth of March, with a view to the settlement of the matter in a mode consistent with the honor of both States. Continuing. Gladstone said that both Russia and England were prepared to resume forth with in London the communications on the main points of the line, deliminating the Afghan frontier, hut the details of the line would have to be examined and traced on the spot, in conformity with the conditions for merly agreed on. “Russia,” said the Pre mier, “has expressed herself willing to agree to the removal of the Russian outposts.” Sir Chas. Dilke announced for the govern ment that it was imperative in the interest of the country that the House proceed at once with the vote of credit. A number of members at once put inter rogatories to the government concerning the trustworthiness of both Sir Peter Lumsden and Gen. Komaroff. Gladstone answered in detail, stating in substance that the dispute of the Penjdeh in cident had not been a question of the trial of any officer, but one which concerned the honor of the governments involved in the I March agreement. It was not in the power of either party to this agreement to claim the exclusive right of interpretation. The speaker believed the agreement would be found suffi ciently clear. Lord Randolph Churchill made a savage attack on the government. He argued that the advancement just made was a terrible piece of news to those anxious for the secur ity of the Indian Empire. “The govern ment,” cried his lordship, “have made a base, cowardly surrender of every point at issue to Russia I greatly fear as' the result that we have lost India!” He protested against the conduct of the government in submitting the vote of credit last Monday without giving the slightest indi cation of their policy, and of the exact point at issue with Russia. The latter, he con tended, had been lor a long time breaking the agreement of 18*8, with respect to Central Asia. In regard to the Afghan*. Lord Churchill insisted that the Russians had long ago passed the boundary, which they had promised to respect as the rightful frontier line of the Ameer's dominions. Gladstone said there had been no change J in the government's policy since last Mon day, when the House unanimously voted in favor of credit. The government were trying to obtain a definite Kusso-Afghan frontier, and he trusted they would succeed. At pres ent there was no frontier in existence enabling one power to call another to account for passing the forbidden line He continued that if the papers when published showed that the Ameer did not desire an advanced frontier, England had no right to force it on him. Sir William Harcourl, home secretary, said that the arbitrator would state whether either party to the convention should make amend ments tor what had been done, and if so how the amendments should be made. Any delay in passing the vote of credit might make all the difference between peace and war. The credit was agreed to 130 to 30. CHINA’S GRIEVANCE. Russia Trying to Play the Same Game on Her as on England. London, May -f. Despatches from Tientsin state that a dis pute between China and Russia regarding the frontier of Manchooria, has become acute owing to tlie non-arrival of Russian members of the delimitation commission and the con stant postponement of the date of their arrival at the place of meeting to settle the bound- j ary. The Chinese commissioners have been ready for several months past to begin the j work of delimitation and the failure of the 1 Russian commissioner^ to meet them, has caused the Chinese government to fear the same course pursued by the Russians respect ing the Afghan frontier, will be followed in this case. Now that the difficulty with France in rela- j tion to Tonquin has been settled, Chinn has become more courageous and has demanded tfiat Russia fulfil her part of the agreement which led to the appointment of the commis sion. It is said that China has also intimated that she is quite prepared to enforce her claims in regard to the frontier of Manchoo- ria The Chinese allege that the Russians have been constantly encroaching upon Chinese territory ever since the Ignatief agreement of 1KG0. GETTYSBURG. Historical Visit of the Veterans of the Army of the Potomac to the Hattlc field—President Cleveland and Vice President Hendricks Present. Gkttkmbi'kis, Pa., May 4. The historical visit of the veterans of the army of the Potomac to the battlefield of Gettysburg took place today. The number of visitors was much smaller than had been expected. The President arrived at 11.30. In the special train with him came the Vice President. Secretary and Mrs. Endicott and daughter. Secretary Whitney and Postmaster General Vilas, Commissioner Black and wife. General Frye, Swiss minister, and General and Miss Kosecrans. The party was in rharge of ex Gov. Curtin. Gov. Pattison and Congressman Swope met the President and party at the train and es corted them to carriages. The President’s carriage led the way through the village to the cemetery, three-quarters of a mile away, where the ceremonies of the day took place. The distinguished guests were formally wel comed by Gov. Pattison. Ex-Delegate Ma guinniss of Montana replied to the address of welcome and was followed by Commissioner of Pensions Black and Gen. Kosecrans. Among the letters of regret received was one from Comte de Paris. The President and Vice President were escorted to points of interest in the neigh borhood. This consumed the remainder of the I ay and was made interesting by the vivid description of the stirring events of the battle given by Gen. Hunt, who pointed out the positions occupied bv the various com mands of both armies and the locallies where the dead lies and of the enconnters which took place. When the round had been made the Presidential party returned to the train and at ti o'clock lefcfor Washington. THE KIEL REBELLION. Indians leaving Reserves While Well Supplied With Provisions—Troops De layed by a Washout. Wibbipeo, Mav 4. The telegraph line is still down west of Humbolt and nothing comes through. The Indians agent has gone to Touchwood where the Indians have left their reserves. They have plenty provisions, and McDonald does not see why thev have left the reserves. He will try to get them back. There is a report that they have gone north, but it is not con firmed. The officers of the Canadian Pacific road say that navigation will be opened between Port Arthur and the eastern provinces in ten days. They have three iron-clad ocean steamers said to be the finest on the conti nent. that make close connection with their trains. Moktrkal, May 4. Owing to a had washout on the Canadian Pacific railway, the Montreal garrison artil lery will be unable to leave for the north west, today. strike Collapsed. Mohtbbal. May 4. The Grand Trunk Railway workmen met today, nearly 1000 being 'present. They were addressed by their leaders and after wards voted for a strike. The vote had no sooner been taken, however, then the men commenced to stream into the open gates of the works and the leaders called for another vote. This was shown to be very unanimous tor a strike, but nevertheless the crowd mov ing towards the works grew larger and the chairman and leaders seeing no hope ad vised all to go in and not sacrifice themselves for the men who had weakened. The strike therefore collapsed. A German Commits Rape on a Girl Heven Years Old. Maldeh, Mass., May. 4. A terrible case of brutality was reported to the police tonight. Chief of Police Comings has been diligently working on the case. The perpetrator has escaped A German named Wm. Leitos have been boarding with Mrs. Paris, who has two child ren, at Lindon, and today he committed rape on her daughter, who i» only 7 years old bruising her badly. He has also criminally assaulted a boy who is 6 years old.

FOR WHAT PI'RPOSKI Three Shot-, in Rapid Succession, Were Heard on the Return Homeward ot the Presidential Party from Gettysburg— Rumors Coueeruiug the Same. Washikotoh, M»v 4. The President and party arrived from Get tysburg at 0.15 this evening. When returning to the train near Mount Hope Station, Maryland,about 8 this evening, three pistol shots were heard in rapid suc I cession and the flash of the weapon was seen j within two or three feet of the moving train. It is probable that some enthusiast had de vised this method of celebrating the passage j of the President, and that the demonstration was only intended as a salute. It created some ammusement and gave rise to some j jocular comment among the passengers hut j since the return of the train a] rumor has spread through the city that the President was shot at.

The statement of Congressman Collins that the President is responsible for Pillshury's appointment is not well received here. A gentleman who is in the closest official rela tions with a Cabinet officer says that if the President had known what Mr. Collins and all who indorsed Pillsburv must have known, the latter would have never been appointed, ami tiu* President thanks no one tor withhold ing information. In future appointments in New England the gentlemen who so per ist ently urged the nomination of Pillsburv may find that they have exhausted their influence. Pillsburv lias not vet been commissioned. There is an impression among some Treasury officials that he has been permitted to make some explanation before his commission ia issued. At the Internal Revenue Bureau this statement is not confirmed. The seting Commissioner savs that Pillsburv lias not yet filed his bond, but that no instructions have been given to withhold the commission if the necessary lormalities are complied with.— [Special to Boston Journal. The Maine men who are here pushing for the removal of the collector and surveyor of the Portland Custom House, on the ground that they are “offensive partisans,” believe that Secretary Manning is in favor of re moving Collector Dow and Survevor Pul len, but the President will not give his con sent. The latter is inclined to go very slowly in Maine matters since lie was so imposed upon in the Chase allair, a fact to which District Attorney Lunt and Marshal llishee owe their continuance in office, as several weeks ago their deposition was practieally determined upon —[Special to the Hostou Advertiser.

faihj %tnutbtt fmtrnxl AtuttuU. Tuesday Honing, Hay 5. The Illinois legislature has gone to the New Orleans Fair. The recent rough weather sent a chill all over New England. The course of Governor Hill oi New York, in vetoing the census bill is strong ly condemned by all the mugwump papers and by many influential democratic organs also. The terrible epidemic at Plymouth, near Wilkesbarre, Penn., continues almost un abated. Fifteen per cent, of the popula tion are now prostrated with the disease. This is an object lesson on the evils of accumulated filth that should be a warn ing to every town in the United States. Mr. Edward Atkinson’s estimate that the cost of food and drink for the 55,000, 000 inhabitants of the United States aver ages $1.67 per week each, does not in clude any beverage except tea and coffee. The nation's “drlrik” bill is about $900, 000, extended business. Few medicines have stood the test of time, and have become standard specifies for certain ailments. None have stood the test better than ADAMSON’S BOTANIC BALSAM. For mo>e than twenty years it has been gaining the confidence of the public, and today it is welcomed as one of the most efficient specifics for alleviating the troubles aris!:.g from colds, coughs, sore throat ami kindred troubles. We bear this willing testimony to the merits of a medi cine which has been successfully tested in so many families, and to the high standing of the firm who own it. —From the N. Y. Morning Journal. Feb. 10 1885._ From H. B. Huntington, New York City: ‘I am familiar with the wotklngs of ADAMSON’S COUGH BALSAM, ami cheerfully recommend I*, as a supe rior medicine.” KINSMANS ELIXIR For All Pains and Aches--25c Depot—F. W.

M Herrin of Medina says West Ten nessee ships annualy 200 car-loads of straw berries, or from 90.000 to 100,000 crates. The timber work of the domes of the Church of St. Mark at Venice, is more than 840 years old. and is still in a good condition.

It is said to be an act of evil omen to move s cat, but an old gentleman who recently moved front Togus to Hallowell, walked the entire distance between the two places and carried the household tabby to his new home securely confined in a bag.

The body was taken to Sidney on the 4 o'clock train, where the funeral will occur this afternoon. Augusta bull eaters are notoriously fastid ious as to the ateak they devour. A dealer infirmi us that his customers nearly all want sirloin, ami gaze with disdain on rump stake, lie is obliged to make two qualities of the rump, the top and bottom. The former re tails for twenty cents and the latter is hard to dispose of at any paying price. In Hallo wed the marketman makes one cut of the rump, which he retails at eighteen cents per pound. Deputy Sheriff Cobh of Togus, whose raids on the runt sellers of the Hallowell road, have nearly driven them from their business, met with a mishap on Sunday afternoon. While driving near the Soldiers' Home, one of the thills of his wagon gave wav and his horse becoming frightened, he w as thrown to the ground and against a tree. On being taken to the hospital Mr Cobb was attended by a surgeon. One side of his body was found ts be badly scarred and bruised, but he was able to come out to the city yesterday. One of the characters of Kennebec county is a smart lady peddler, who does a thriving business driving about the county and dick ering with the farmers' wives along the higli *»ys. Her stock in trade is a trunk filled *itli knicknaeks and Yankee notions of va rious descriptions, which she barters for pa |*r-rags.»« a rule, although other articles are received when a favorable trade can be made. Recently she drove home with a hen among tbe proceeds of her day’s work. She almost invariably secures a good aized load of paper r*g«. which are disposed of at a paying ad vinee on the purchasing price. An order from the headquarters, Grand Atmr of the Republic has been received, in *“>ch ii the following: “In accordance with bile* tnd regulation, May 30th will be ob served as Memorial Dav.

Another striking instance of the Spoils system has occurred in the removal of special agent Col. S. E. Chamberlin, station ed at Baltimore. The reason assigned for his removal is -that he was born in Vermont, was appointed from Virginia and voted in Mary.and Col. Chamberlin is a native of Vermont, and was an officer during the war He married in London countv, Va., and was connected with the special treasury service in that State, and was a member of the Vir ginia republican state central committee and took an active part in politics. When Mr. Sherman was secretary of the treasury in the Hayes administration, Col. Chamberlain was *cnt to Baltimore as a special agent. In tbe I famous sugar investigations, set on foot by I Secretary Sherman at Baltimore, Col. Cham i berlain had a prominent part. In the De j marara sugar suit in the United States Court in which Mr. William H. Perot, a leading I sugar importer, was the defendent, special agent Chamberlain was the principal prosecu ting witness for the Government. He has been one of the most efficient ottcers in the service. Alexander J. Cameron of Maine has been appointed to the special agents’ corps, possible to succeed Chamberlin, but he will be assigned to duty at Aspinwall. Obituary, Died, In Stapleton, S.

TEX txxrors BTOST. If *11 the strange tele* that sextons can tell were pat together in one volume, the book would be more fascinating than Arab ian Nights or Pilgrim’s Progress. Sextons see many aides of life, and of death too, which other folks know very little about. From the orange blossoms of the wedding procession to the black robes of tbefunerai cortege is but a step in the every day life of the sexton. He knows all the gossip among the church people, and keeps in his head, more or less, the accurate account of those who come regularly, and of those who stay away. Nobody except the doctor and the minister know as much as the sex Ion knows of what is going on in the community. Hexton Judd, of the North Church in New Haven, Oinn., is as well known as the church itself; the church being one of the most famous ecclesiastical landmarks of orthodoxy. His genial face and pleasant smite are part of the recognized religious features of the city. He has a cheery word for everybody, and so has everybody for him. Home time ago Hexton J udd had a severe tussle, not with ghosts, nor with the jiowers of darkness, but with an enemy of the human race, winch singled him out for its victim and laid him on his back ir. grievous torture. As that same enemy had knocked down so many good jieojde who have not yet obtained the victory in which Hexton Judd rejoices, Mr. Judd’s story is of personal interest to thousands. A\ e will let him tell it as he recently told it to a friend who called on him in New Haven For a good many years i had been troubled with the pains of neuralgia, jiar ticuiarly those which attack the hiji and thigh, m the way of sciatica. At times they were severe, and then for gome time 1 would have almost none. Hut about two years ago I felt the sciatic attack comimr on me stronger than it had ever come be fore. For four or five days the jiains would strike me at intervals, just as if to let me know that a big attack was coniine. Well, it came, in full force, and all of a sudden. I was at the store,—for during the week I am busy with curtain-fixtures, and ail that sort of upholstery work,—ami I was seized with a sciatic attack which knocked me entirely helpless. For two hours I was in such agony as I had never antlered before, and never want to sutler again. After a while Mr.Searles came in. lie had lieen out of town that day and had just returned. I knew about bis Atlilu jihoros, anil what it bad done for himself and others, ltut 1 had never, uji to this time, taken any. Now 1 was ready to see what it could do for me. 1 asked Mr. Hearies if there was any use of trying u for a man who was guttering as 1 was. He laughed cheerfully and said, “we ll break this in short order.” I was taken home in a carriage and helped up stairs, for I could not walk by myself. I took a dose of Athlophoros. Three hours alter that 1 took another dose. Oh I what a change there was! 1 hail no idea that any medicine could act so quickly and do yi much good. By the time I had taken bat ■econtf dose most of the pain was g1.K E* UNBROKEN. Our trademark am,« derrn/ bottle.

(Continued Irom yesterday.) “I don't believe they’ll come to-nighf.” said Joe, when it began to grow dark. “Won’t they. Charly “Oh, Charly, won’t’em?” “I)o von s’pose a wolf chased father and mother ?”asked Joe.with a dismal quaver, breaking in upon the narrative of "The Tiny Pig.” “A wolf couldn’t catch our Dolly,” said Dean, very quickly; "she’s too smart— and big.” Charly laughed. For all the world she would not have acknowledged that such a possibility had ever occurred to her own mind. “It’s the storm that keeps them,” she said, cheerily. “It’s a dreadful storm, you know. But they’ll be here to-morrow —I know they will.” But to-morrow came and went—a long, dreary, freezing dav, and the fifth morn ing dawned. IIow' bitterly cold it was, ami how the wind whistled through and ttrongh the house! The storm had ceased tut ot this the children could not be sure since the windows were banked high with snow, and when Joe tried to open the out er door a white wall repelled him. Their store of provisions, too. were nearly exhausted, and that seemed worse than all, until Joe earne in from the entry with his arms full of wood, and his eyes full of tears. “That's every bit there is.” he quaver ed “Oh.Charly.whv don’t father come?” “He will,” said Charly, with a brave, bright smile, though her heart was like lead. “Now we ll be real saving of this wood, and only put one stick at a time.” j Oh, how cold the room grew'! Colder I and colder, while time dragged on. and those last sticks were burning slowly I away. They ate their last bits of bread then', and because Charly said she could not eat, there was very little more for Joe, Dean and Emmy. But Joe, though he looked wistfully at the frozen morsels, was struck with a sudden reeolleciion. “You didn’t eat any breakfast, Charly,; nor anything Iasi night because your head ached, oin’t you hungry?” “Never mind,” said Charly, cheerily, “I’ll eat enough when they get home.” The bread disappeared then to the last crumb “I'm awful hungry, now,” said Joe. “So’m I,” echoed Dean, with a pitiful pucker: “and I’m awful cold.” (Tally hugged Emmy tighter and look ed around. There were the kitchen chairs—stout oaken ones. “Can’t you break up a chair, Joey,” she asked. “But he couldn’t, though he tried, man manfully—poor little Joe—with tears standing on his cheeks. "Never mind,” said Charly again. And then the forlorn little group huddled to gether over the dying tire How cold it was! Anil how the wind rocked the old house, and blew its freezing breath in through every chink! “I’m sleepy,” murmured Emmy, very drowsily. “Charly looked at her in sudden terror. She hail been sobbing with cold and hun ger, and now her baby face looked pinch ed anil her hands blue with cold. But the golden head drooped heavily against Charlv’s arm—and Emmy never went to sleep at this time of the day. A dull, red coal winked among the ashes. Charly saw it and straightened Emmy up with a little shake. “We’ll have a funny fire.” said she, with a catch in her voice. Bring the—the box, Joey. “Oh. Charlv, no.” “Yes," said Charly, I can make plenty more. Wake up, Emmy.” And in a minute Emmy was wide awake enough to see a tiny, bright blaze upon the hearth They' burned the box first, and then the pretty carvings one by one. All too soon they were gone, and there only remained a few ashes. “I’m just as cold,” whimpered Dean. “I’m sleepy, too, Charly.” “Well, you shall go to sleep,” said Charly, “and when you wake up I know they’ll be here. But we’ll have some nice fun. first. “Who wants a doughnut “Oh. Charly Grace, “but you haven’t got one!” “Yes. I have." returned Charlv, with a triumphant little laugh. “1 saved these out of mine.” She stood Emmy on the hearth, and hobbled as briskly as she could across the floor, placing two chairs one at each end of the room. “Now vou run a race around those till I say" its enough, and I'll give you one apiece. Hun just as fast as you can.” At first the children demurred, they were so cramped, and tired, and drowsy; but the sight of three, brown, delicious looking cakes which Charly produced from her pocket, nerved them to action. Around and around the chairs they ran, Joe ahead, Emmy in the rear, breathing out little clouds of steam And Charly laughed, and clapped her hands, and cheered them on,until at last they stopped from sheer latigue, puffing like three small locomotives, and with theil- pulses beating in a lively way. Charly hobbled over to the bed, and said to them: “Get in, all of you, then I'll give you your cakes. I know they’ll be here when you wake up.” Mie tucked them in warmly and then she went back to her chair. She put the ends of her crutches upon two or three live coals and blew them into a tiny blaze. Pretty soon, when she had warmed herself a little, she would creep in beside Emmy. She listened to the deep, regular breath ing from the bed. ••They are going to sleep," she mur mured. "I have done the best I could— the best I could.” The words echoed from the walls of the cold little room, and rang themselves over and over in her brain. How warm the place was growing, and how dark She would crawl over to the lied and get in with Emmy and Dean and Joe. But she did not stir. She sat there still, a white little figure, with a pair of half-burned crutches at her feet, when less than an hour later, a man. with frosty beard and hair, forced himself through the snow bank at the door. It was Mr. Grace, alone, tor the storm had rendered the roads impassable, and he had tramped the whole distance from Dunbar Corner upon snow shoes. It was a long, wearying walk, no doubt, and he had been it two days; but when he opened the door of his home he forgot it all. In less than a minute he had made kindling wood of one or two of the chairs, and in another one or two a brisk fire was roaring on the hearth, and Mr. Grace, in terrible fear, was rubbing Charly's hands and forcing some brandy, from the little flask he carried, down her j throat. She opened her eyes presently, j OLD AGB How Mao’s Lease of Life may bo Lengthened. The possibility of prolonging life has commanded the serious attention of emi nent scientists, and the discovery of some compound or elixir capable of pre venting or suspending physical decay, has been, more than once, confidently pre dicted. The practical thing to consider is, however, the prolongation of life by proper oare of the health, one of the best means of maintaining which is the occasions, use of Ayer’s Pills. S. C. Pradburn. Worthington, Mass., says: ‘•Ayer’s Pills aye THE BEST remedy for sick headache, arising from an impure state of the stomach, and are the mildest and best purgative in the world. They were first recommended to me, by my mother, thirty years ago.” Mrs. J. G. Smith, Campbelltown, Ga., says: I have been cured of Rheumatism, and am now enjoying good health, through the use of Ayer’s Tills. I am nearly seventy years of age.” Mark Johnson, Monterey, Mexico says: “I have used Ayer’s Tills for the past thirty years, and am satisfied that 1 should not now be alive had it not been for these Pills. By using them I have been enabled to avoid the bilious diseases peculiar to this climate.” j J. V. Thompson, Mount Cross. Va., says: j “Ayer's Tills gave me quick and HAPPY RELIEF from bilious and sick headaches. I have j now used them f ir two years, with in creasing satisfaction.” M. Y. Watson, 152 State s:., Chicago, 111., says: “One year ago I was induced to try Ayer’s! Tills as a r mrdy for Indigestion, Con stipatioii, and Headache, from which I had been a great sufferer. I found the i action of these Tills easy, and obtained j prompt relief. In continuing their use, a single Pill, taken' after dinner, has been till the medicine I have required. Ayer's 1 Tills have benefited me more than all the medicines ever before tried.” I). T. Sum* tilers, T. M„ Wayside, Kans., says: My wife suffered, for several years, with Cos tivenesq and Sick Headache. She was completely cured by using Ayer’s Tills.” I THE COMING MAN. Among the many attainments which we may reasonably expect the coming man to possess, will be a perfect know ledge of the human system. He will also have a thorough appreciation of the importance of Ayer’s Pills, as a means of keeping the system in a healthy condition, and of their power to cure Dyspepsia, Liver Com plaint, and Sick Headache. Wm. Tar rant, Alexandria, Va., writes: “Being a victim of that horrible disease, Dyspepsia, I decided to try Ayer’s Pills. In a few days my appetite returned, and, by exercising a little care in the selection of my food, I could eat a hearty meal and not feel DISTRESSED. I now rejoice in a renovated system, and my health is restored.” John Slaubaugb, Eglon, W. Va., writes: “I think very highly of Ayer’s Pills, and use no others. They cured me of Dyspepsia.” W. E. Quivev, Jackson, Mich., writes: “Ayer’s Pills are the best thing I ever found for Sick Headache.” M. J. Mead, Sr., Can ton, Ind., writes: “Ayer’s Pills have afforded me great relief from Liver Com plaint, of fifteen years’ standing, and from Constipation. I was TROUBLED. with Dizziness, Indigestion, oppression after eating, and general Xervous Prostra tion. I now feel like a new man, all owing to a few boxes of Ayer’s Pill-.’’ John C. Bobenreith, Elgin, 111., writes: I was troubled, for some months, with a disordered liver, and began to fear an enlargement. After using only one box of Ayer's Pills I am entirely cured.” J. Tabor. M. D.. Jefferson, Penn., writes: I have prescribed Ayer’s Pills in cases of Dropsy, as well as for many abdominal disorders, and their use has been attended with excellent results.” For sale by all Druggists.

"Emmy—Dean—Joe—are—” “All right—all right!” yelled Mr. Grace, nearly beside himself with delight; and then he went down upon his knees before Charly and cried: "We’re all right, my deaf.” And so, indeed, they were. I haven’t space to tell you all that happened—what Mrs. Graee said and did whpn she came, a few day later, with the welcome news that grandmother was better, and heard what Mr. Grace had already heard from John and Emmy and Dean how the story was told throughout the settlement over and over, and how Charly was praised on all sides; nor of how the people of Grand Fork, the little village, five miles below,: srot up a tair for Charlv’s benefit, which gave her enough to take her to Dr. Lester that very next spring. And though Dr. Lester could not entirely cure her, the weak little limbs grew so much stronger and better that she was able to go without crutches, by limping a very little. When Dr. Lester too, came to know who Charly was—for the story of that winter’s day had already reached his ears—he refused to take his fee. but, instead, added to the little roll of bills, and put the whole in a bank—for Charly. “She will want to go to school in a little while,” said he: “I think she must study art.” “Why. what makes everyone so good to me?” asked Charly, with happy tears; “I didn't do anything.” “Didn’t you?” asked Mrs. Grace, in re turn, kissing the glad little face—didn’t you?”—[AT.
