White Flour Starvation $20,000.00 Expert merit Post says that one pound of Grape-Nuts furnishes more nourishment that the system will absorb than ten pounds of meat. wheat. oais or nreaci. lie nos a reason for the statement. The white flour makers issued millions of circulars de nouncing him tor the statement. Post further says the excessive use of white bread causes disease of the bowels frequently ending in peritonitis and appendicitis. Close under the shell of the wheat lie the phosphates, potash and other ele ments absolutely demanded by the body for its proper feeding, particular ly for the nerve centers and the brain. Also close under the shell lie the elements of the diastase required by the body to change the starchy part of the wheat into Grape Sugar during the proeesc of digestion. But the white rlour miller throws out these important elements because they darken the Hour. The white flour of the present Any is ■■tlmost entirely composed of starch, and the elements that will ll**l iimi muiui oic i» therefore when much '■•taroh, even in the shape of white bread, is put into the stomach it passes into the in testinal trar-t where instead of being digested it ferments and causes trouble. It was to remedy this trouble that Grape-Nuts was Invented, for practically the same methods that Nature uses tn disrest the starch are used in the manufacture of Grape-Nuts, so that the famous food goes into the body in the form of Grape SuKar—that is. the starch has been changed and the first act of dices tion has taken place. The result Is that the human body is furnished with valuable food elements in the most perfect form. Now comes along the Maine Ex periment Station to question Post's claim regarding the value of one pound of Grape Nuts. They learn edly dtscuss tne buojwi ana pruuuix a statement showing more calories of food value in ten pounds of bread than In one pound of Grape-Nuts. That is not the question at Issue. Uke many other pseudo-scientific dabsters they befuddle themselves and become lost In the maze of scientific effort. How much food value will the system absorb, take up. make uw of, that's the ques tion. Suppose you feed a man 10 pounds of sugar, (which is nearly all pure nourishment). Would his system absorb l(i pounds? He would proba bly be made sick and really lose weight and strength. But suppose you pre pared the sugar so he could quick'y digest and assimilate it and absorb into his system the nourishing proper ties of it. is it not clear that Vt pound of such food would furnish him more nourishment that his system would absorb than the ID pounds, or even f.ft i pounds of raw sugar? That is exactly ihe case with Grape Nuts. The elements of wheat and I barley are scientifically treated in ex actly the way the human body treats them to accomplish the first act of di gestion. that is the change of starch into Grape Sugar. The Makera of white flour sacri fice the most valuable part of j the wheat ill order to keep the flour white. A man fed on white bread alone will gradually become h shattered nerv ous wreck and die. He can’t i pomiuiy live uniPKH iip is iiirmsnni j with the food element* required by na ttu-e to sustain life, and some of the l most powerful are entirely absent In I white bread. Every element in the wheat and barley Is kept in Grape I Nuts, and man or animal can live In definitely on that perfect food. We have records of several thousand case* where people have been unable to maintain health, weight and strength on meat, v heat, oats or bread and have been able to increase weight. vitality and strength on the little por tions of Grape-Nuts taken as a |>or tion ol each meal. We will place S10,000.00 in any designated bank against IIO.MO.O# to be deposited by the Maine Ex periment Ftrient. 1st* and the total S20.000.tKW less cost or experiment, to be paid to them for their trouble and work If they prove our claim un true. If they fail, the amount to be paid us for our time and labor of demonstration. I'omnion earth and air contain the raw elements necessary for man’s food but even if a scientific state official should tell you that, would you there fore eat 10 pounds of earth and expect to extract Its nourishment? It re quires the curious and wonderful manipulation of the laws of the I vegetable kingdom to select and com- j bine ;ind prepare these food rlrniiHiti of the soil In such a way that men and animals can absorb und make use of them. Hem e we have vegetables and Krniqs. So it still further mpiiros the intelligence and skill of man to cook nml prepare the vegetables and relents make them digestible and lit. The greater the intelligence and ■kill displayed in preparation and the more nearly the Intva of diges tion of food are followed the more perrect the result. We have the true scientific facte for the basis and the practical every day results with feed itut millions of people for our proof and the statement stands on the solid rock of fact one pound of Grape-Nut* wi.i •upply more nourishment that the sys tem will absorb than 10 pounds ot meat, wheat, oal" o- breed.

BUSINESS NOTES. (Continued from page 1.) deliver on orders booked sometime ago. Bank clearings, though reduced by the holidays, are of full volume for this season of the year, and from Jan. 1 to date are very close to last year s record breaking figures. Some improve ment is noted in the traaspor .atlon congestion, but the car shortage is still a matter of worrlment to the rail road men and to dealers whose goods are delayed thereby. There is a rather more cheerful tone in the iron trade, partly the result of improvement in fuel supplies at the West and partly the result of larger buying at the Kast. Cotton goods feel the stimulating effects of higher prices for the raw ma terial. Print cloths remain firm at 3 cents and the volume of spring busi ness continues large for the season. Specialties in imported cottons are ac tive with Jobbers, mercerized products especially so. The woolen mills are kept actively employed, those engaged on men’s wear being particularly so. The strength of raw wool is unabated, the latest London sale showing a high er range. What foreign words are sold here now are at lower prices than new wordens can possibly be exported for. The wool clip for 1902 shows a slight Rain, the fifth annual increase from the depression of 1897, and the production Is not now far from the record figures of 1893. Wheat, Including flour exports for the week ending Nov. 27, aggregates 4.179,685 bushels, against 5,277,672, Inst week, and 5,117,478 in this week, Inst year. Corn exports aggregate 255,174 bushels, against 243.381, last week, and 630,968, last year. Buslnes failures for the week num ber 180, as against 201, last week, and 189 in this week, last year. In Canada, mild weather has been a drawback In Canadian trade. Orders of seasonable goods in Montreal are of good volume. The demand for supplies from lumber camps is especially good and a large output is looked for. Farm ers were never so prosperous. Failures number 19 as against 19 last week and 26 In this week a year ago. FOOTBALL GAMES. V •Kent’s Hill, 12; Biddeford. High, 6. Biddeford, Me., Nov. 28.—(Special),— A)„,ot firti people braved tin- cold mist of yesterday afternoon to witness the foot ball game between Biddeford High anl Kent's Hill, and they were well repaid for their courage. The game was hotly contested from start to finish. The game began hv Kent's llill kicking off to Bid deford. bat the latter soon se cured the ball on downs. Then Manter went through Biddeford and down the field for the first tonchdown. It was here that the Bidde ford bovs got In their work. After the kickoff they soon secured the hall and by steady work got the ball to Kent's Hill's 1-yard line. Here the seminary boys held them for downs, but the referee saiil Biddeford's vaulter, Johnson, shouted down when lie was about five feet in the air and before he was thrown back for a loss of two yards and called it a touch down. This ended the first half. In the second half honors ware about even, until Manter got through for an other run and touchdown.

Berlin, Nov. 28.—The Socialist Vor waerts. today, commenting on Emperor YY'illlam s speech at Essen. Wednesday, the day of the funeral of Herr Krupp, savs: "YY'hlle prosecution is still pending against us and the truth is not yet judi cially ascertained, the Emperor antici pates the court's findings by pronounc ing our guilt out of hand. Is it allowed that lie crows at tile initiatory stage of a pending case utter a verdict and there by place the judges in the painful dilem ma of either contradicting His Majesty or subjecting themselves to the suspicio.i that their judgment was Influenced by him? Justice stands above everybody, even above the Emperor, and the free dom of the courts is the life and nerve of every state.” The paper adds: "The monarc hy is con stitutionally irresponsible, if adequate answer to the Emperor's speech is pre vented through the I.ese Majeste para graphs.” The Vorwaerts. in two columns, affirms in moderate language the truth of its original charges against the late Herr Krue” and alleges that the evidence rests on tne testimony of persons quite above party passion, personal interest or po litical hate. The late Herr Krupp's will leaves tlie factory to his eldest daughter, Berlha. to lie administered by his widow until the daughter attains her majority. Besides the $750.(00 given for the benefit of the employes, Frau Krupp in behalf of Frau h ill Bertha has given $250,000 to lie de voted to the improvement of Essen. THE NEW SHAMROCK Expected to Present Several Novelties in Way of Yacht Designing. London, Nov. 28.—Excellent progress is being made in setting tile Shamrock III and everything is now ready for running the lead keel. It is learned that the same plan of bringing the midship frames right down outside the lead of tin keep as adopted in the case of the Shamrock II will be followed in the new challenger. Wm. Fife considers stringing lead ballast inside the frames in this fashion per mits the use of lighter frames than whin the lead is belted outside in the usual manner. In order to avoid the possibility of warping the steel frames by the heat of a large amount of molten lead, tnc ballast will be run in quantities of about a ton daily. The quantity of lead to be used is larger than that on any previous challenger, giving further proof that the m w lent will have an exceptionally large displacement. From the setting of the frame the Sham rock III it is apparent that another nov elty is to be introduced. Instead of a level draught the whole length of the keel the challenger will have a very de ckled drawing, considerably more' aft than at the forward end of the lead. FIRE AT RAT PORTAGE. Shipyards, Steamers, Houses and Lum ber in Mass of Flames. Rat Portage. Ont., Nov. 28.—A spark blown into a pile of cedar started a dis astrous eonflagration, today, in the Rat Portage Lumber Co.'s yards at Norman. Ont. Twenty-five million feet of lumber have been burned an-J Lemay's shipyards, six steamboats, two barges and 11 houses have so far been destroyed. Desperate attempts are be ing made to prevent the flames reach ing the residence portion of the town. Several wooden structures in the path of the fire were destroyed and the pro gress of the (lames were checked. The lumber yards are great mass of glow ing embers, but there appears to be no fear of a further spread of the fire. No accurate estimate of the loss can be secured, tonight.

Croker Naturally Not Pleased and Will Appeal Case.

New York. Nov. 28.—Chief Edward F. Croker of the fire department, who was recently tried on a series of charges, was, today, declared guilty by Fire Commissioner Sturgis and was dismissed from the service, the dis missal to take effect, Dec. 1. Chief Croker was found guilty on the charges of "failure to enforce the re quirements of law for properly safe guarding the Park Avenue Hotel:” of "the perversion of public property to his private use;” of "conduct pre judicial to good order and discipline in persecuting and unjustly discrim inating against certain members of the uniformed force,” and of "condui t un becoming an officer and a gentleman and prejudicial to good order and dis cipline.” On the charges of “incompetency as thief of the department in the manage ment of great fires" and of "sending false reports.” he was acquitted.

Wise, on behalf of certain colored complainants to re strain the state board of canvassers from issuing certificates of election to the members of Congress elected in the last congressional election and invali date the new Virginia constitution, was called in the United States court, this afternoon. Chief Justice Fuller presid ing and Judge Waddell sitting with him. Attorney General nderson and Mr. Frank Christian represent the com monwealth. Mr. Wise opened for the complainants and was still speaking when the court adjourned for supper. When Mr. Wise contended that the state constitution was vitiated by the refusal of the members of the conven tion to take the oath the chief justice asked if the convention was not a con vention de facto. To an argument that complainant were without remedy as to certain matters, the chief justice asked if Virginia did not have a su preme court. One of Mr. Wise's main contentions was that the convention had no power to proclaim the constitution. At the conclusion of his argument, Mr. Christian began his reply for the commonwealth. Mr. Christian devoted himself largely to the question of right of proclamation and cited numerous authorities, combatting Mr. Wise's con tention. At the conclusion of Mr. Christian’s argument, court adjourned until 10 o'clock tomorrow morning. NAVY LEAGUE BRANCH Organized at St. John—Canada’s Part in Naval Defence. St. John. N. B..

Steps Taken to Discharge Vene zuela’s Financial Burdens In Manner Which Will Be Satisfactory to All Creditors. Important Action in the Matter Begun in London. London. Nov. 28.—The Associated Press learns that important steps were taken in London, today, with the view of satisfying all the financial and diplo matic claims of foreign powers and bondholders against Venezuela. It is maintained that if the contemplated action meets with approval, Germany and Great Britain will have no cause to take the vigorous steps now con templated. The details of the suggest ed settlement have not yet been com municated to the European govern ments. Their gist will first be made known to the United States govern ment. probably, tomorrow. The med ium of such communication is one of the most important Anglo-American bank ers. Venezuela's propositions were mentioned to Ambasador Choate, to day, but pending the result of the di rect representations at Washington, no action will be taken by the embassy towards suggesting that Venezuela be given time to submit her proposals. The new development in the crisis, which is regarded as hourly growing more serious, is due to the arrival in Europe of a secret delegation* from the Venezuelan government empower ed to deal with the outstanding liabil-, ities of that republic. Until a suitable plan was arranged it was considered inadvisable to communicate with the foreign ministers at Caiacas, with whom relations have become so strained. Such a plan has now, in the belief of the delegation, been arrived at and unolhcially. through the Anglo-Ameri can banker, the attitude of the United States will be ascertained. Besides the state department will be put in a posi tion to be able to judge of the value of Venezuela's offer and her good faith in the matter. It is explained that Presi dent Castro has hitherto had no op portunity of taking un th» question of national finances, but while he was himself engaged in suppressing the revolution he sent to Europe the secret delegation referred to with the view of accomplishing what was regarded as impossible of executioni at Caracas. Secrecy was also regarded to be im perative in view of President Castro's belief that if it had been known that Venezuela contemplated a new finan cial settlement he would have been in undated with claims of every descrip tion and the dealings with the bond holders would have become twice as difficult. The details of the plan which will be communicated to the state department are carefully guarded, but The Associa ted Press is in a position to announce that the main feature is a unification of all the outstanding government .and government guaranteed loans upon a basis of security greater than has been hitherto offered. It is strenuously denied that the present movement is due to any desire on the part of Ven ezuela "to spar for time" with Great Britain or Germany, and in proof of this it is pointed out that the secret mission left Venezuela before her rela tions with Great Britain and Germany had assumed the present acute aspect. Should tne United States government gives its moral support, the plan will lie submitted to American bankers. The Venezuelan delegation believes that it is not too late to secure the neces sary facilities from Europe to bring aluiut a settlement satisfactory to all parties concerned. COMPELLED TO RETREAT.

SPAULDING, HALLOWELL STORMY SCENES. German Reichstag in Midst of the Wildest Uproar. Socialists so Unruly That Half-Hour Suspension Is Ordered. Crisis Such 23 the House Never Be fore Saw. Berlin. Nov. 2S.—The stormy scenes which were enacted, yesterday, were renewed in the Reichstag, today, and at on r.oint in th proceedings the up roar reached such a pitch that Vice j President Basing, who was in the chair, had to resort to a suspension of 1 the sitting, a measure without prece- 1 dent in the Reichstag. The House was discussing the mo tion of Baron Von Kardortf, represent ing the majority parties, to vote the i second reading of the tariff bill as a whole without a paragraph discussion as contemplated by the rules. The minority would thus be unable to long j delay the final vote and were furiously indignant at what they called a “par liamentary coup d'etat" and the com plete suppression of the rights of the minority. After a quiet afternoon. Dr. Baehem. Centre party, too the tribune and de scribing the dilatory tactics of the op position. said that the Freisionige Ver-. einigung and the moderate radicals were doing hod carrier's service for the Socialists, adding, "If you only new what has recently been said about this alliance—" Herr Baehem left the sentence un finished and the Socialists shouted. “Out with it. name the man.” The Socialists. Stadthagen. Ulrich, Baudert. and other members of the party rushed up the steps of the Spteaer's tribune, tried to keep the Socialists hack. He was hurled down the stairs and his voice and the vigor ous ringing of the President's bell were drowned in the tumult. The Socialist Memyer Relsshaps re new* d the demand that Herr Baehem should complete his sentence. The speaker was twice called to order, but after some minutes of disorder, Vice President Busing succeeded in quieting the uproar sulllcientiy to say: "No member can he compelled to say what he dees not want to say." Whereupon the tumult was renewed and the mem bers of the Socialist party again stormed the President's tribune, wildly shouting Some among them address ing Herr Baehem cried: "You rascal, you dog." Vice President Busing, finding him self powerh ss in the face of the tu mult. suspended the session for half an hour. Upon the resumption of the sitting, at 7 o’clock. Vice President Busing ex pressed his profound regret at the “outrageous scenes of disorder which had occurred in the Reichstag for the flr3t time in its history." He admon ished the members to exercise a con trol over themselves and asked them to vacate the space in front of the President's (hair, including the tribune steps, which were thickly crowded. Hc-rr Rnchtrn then attempted to re sume his speech, but the Socialists raised such an uproar that he had to discontinue. Herr Singer then took the floor and said that Herr Bachem had insulted most deeply the Socialist party. He had struck, continued the speaker, from an ambush, and he should name the man to whom he had alluded. Herr liacliem replied that after such treatment he would decline to do so. The House then adjourned on motion of the conservatives. FOR RECIPROCITY. Banquet. Tonight, at Chicago, by Non Partisan Reciprocity League. Chicago, Nov. 28.—Recipocity, pri marily with Cuba and Canada, and eventually with the whole civilized world, is the result aimed at by the national Non-Partisan Reciprocity League, which, tomorrow, will send out more than 1000 invitations to its first annual convention to be held in Detroit. Dec. 10 and 11. Governors of all the north and middle western states are to be asked to take part in the convention as arc also the mem bers of the Canadian cabinet and many members f the Canadian Parliament. Boards of trade and similar organi zations all over the middle West are «x pec ted to be represented and the plans for the league which at lirst con templated a small gathering, have grown greatly. Chicago is the head quarters oi the league and will send an exceptionally strong delegation to Detroit. Among the speakers who already have promised to address the conven tion is Gov. Cummings of Iowa, who will advocate the Iowa Reciprocity scheme. Gen. Lew Wallace Is III. Chicago, Nov. 28.—A dispatch from Crawfordsville, Ind.. says: “The fam ily of Gen. Lew Wallace is quite alarme i over an illness from which he has been suffering. At present he is confined to his bed.

Miss Elizabeth Shippen Green, the I voting artist who made the iliustra tiors for Richard Le Gailienne's “An Old Country Home,'* has lately been recuperating in the Pennsylvania mountains, from overworked eyes. Miss lictory Bateman, the co-author of “By the Stage Door,” is a niece and protege of Edwin Booth. One of the treasures with which she never parts in any of the exigencies of her exigent profession is a handsome elwiny rosary, which was a gift from the great trage dian. When Frank Norris, author of “The Pit," left New York several months a go, he was bound for San Francisco, win*re he intended to take passage to the Mediterranean on a wheat ship, but be instead bought a mountain ranch on the Pacific slope, lived and worked there until his death. It will probably surprise Mrs. George Madden Martin, author of "Emmy Lou." to know that the little public school girl of her book has become a propagandist. Such is the fact, how- I veer and Baltimore is the place. A certain small school girl there came home recently with an air of great im portance and announced to her mother: "I'm Miss President." "What of?” asked her mother. "Of our new Emmy Leu Club,” was the reply. “What on earth is an Einmy Lou Club?” de manded the mother. "I don’t remem ber that Emmy l.ou ever organized any clubs. What’s your club for?” “To make our teachers behave nicer to us." replied Miss President proudly. Some of the Lulu s Library tales, written by Louise M■ Alcott, are to ap pear in the December St. Nicholas. There is a pretty story, interwoven with the writing of these. Together with many others, they wtre written orisinully for Lulu, the beloved niece and adopted daughter of tlie popular author. When May. commonly said to be Miss Alcott's favorite sister, and often identified with the Reth of 'Tat tle Women.” died abroad in 1879. she |..ft a baby girl to her sister’s car.-. For Lulu, to whom Miss Alcott gave the 1 tenderest devotion till deatli a second time orphaned the young girl, the I clever v riter aunt told and v. rote I stories by the dozen, and these were i ailed "Lulu's Library." Follow ing Miss Alcott s death in 1888. Lulu went to her father’s home in Switzerland, j where she is still living. That well known American illustra tor Howard Pyle, was lorn in Wil mington. Pel., in 1855. and that city is still his home and working place. His house and studios-there are several, his own 'large, light, severely plain workshop and smaller ones for favorite pupils—are as charming as one would expect to find the suroundings of the author and artist of “The Rose of Paradise" and "The Garden Behind the Moon." Mr. Pyle has taught a large number of illustrators and has always a helping hand and word for the younger artists. His Industry may be Judged from a list of his books, which includes, besides the works above mentioned: ‘’The Merry Adventures of Robin Hood," "Pepper and Salt,” "Within the Capes,” “The Wonder Clock,” “Otto of the Silver Hand.” “A Modern Aladdin,” "Men of Iron,” "Jack Blllister's Fortunes,” “Twilight Land,” to say nothing of a large amount of magazine sketches and mis cellaneous Illustrations. "The Right Princess,” the first novel founded on Christian Science, is now in its fifteenth thousand. It is con sidered to be Clara Louise Burnham's best story. J. N. learned, who is the author of a school ‘History of England” and editor of "A Multitude of Counsellors,” has just published through Houghton, Mifflin Co. “A Primer of Right and Wrong” for the use of young people. Mr. Lamed has applied his wide knowledge of literature and life in set ting forth the sound principles of right conduct. Ho avoids, on the one hand, ail preaching, and on the other, all profundities of moral philosophy. His book is, therefore, a plain, common sense presentment of the basic and permanent elements of good morals. Its plan is simple; there are several chapters of statement and definition followed by others containing examples and opinions. Some of thi titles of chapters are, Right and Wrong; Self Control and the Formation of Habit; Integrity—Honor—Honesty, and typi cal among the examples cited is that of Scott's life labors in the interest of his creditors. The book is written in so clear and attractive a manner that it may well come into popular and gener al demand. Hamlin Garland’s novel. “The Captain of the Gray-Horse Troop,” since its pub lication in London, has struck the fancy of the English critics. They seem to be more alive to the significance of the In dian portion of the story than the Amer ican Reviewers, and they refer especially to the book's correct moral attitude to wards “the little peoples of the earth.” One of them went so far as to say, in the Birmingham Gazette: "We read of the annexation of fresh territories to the British Crown, and congratulate our selves upon our power to civilize the world. Such stories as Mr. Garland's suggest another view of civilization's march.” This is surely significant as a British view of so thoroughly American a novel as this one. Among the popular six novels of 190 selected by the London Academy and published in its annual Fiction Supple ment, are two which have been big suc cesses in America—Anthony Hope's "The Intrusions of Peggy” and Gilbert Park ers "The Right of Way.” After this se lected half-dozen follow eight "popular and praiseworthy novels.” of which one. "The Vultures,’' by H. S. Mcrriman, has been very successful in this countrj and another. “The Adventures of M. d’llari cot,” has every promise of being. Richard Le Gallienne. poet, novelist, journalist, wiiose new romance, “An Old Country House,” the Harpers publish, started life- in thP prosaic office of a iirm of chartered accountants in Liverpool.

Any one who may be passing along the main road between Tarrytown and Ossining in the northern part of Tarry town sees the oM Sleepy Hollow Ceme tery extending forty or fifty rods along the east side of the thoroughfare, with the quaint little church at the south end of it. The cemetery may be enter ed at the church gate or anywhere along the low stone wall that separates the graveyard from the road. The long narrow cemetery, climbing the steep hill from the church, is beau tiful in situation, but unkempt. A workman has a contract to cut the grass twice in the season; and except for a short time after he has plied his scythe among the crumbling grave stones, the thick and matted grass lies in tangles that completely hide from view the broken stones which once marked the last resting places of farm ers and their families who died two centuries and more ago, representatives of the first generations of Dutch set tlers who lived in the valley of the Hudson. The Church society has little money with which to keep this ancient ceme tery in repair; and so, as the bones of the burghers buried here have crum bled into dust, the little brownstone monuments that marked their graves as long as any lived who remembered them have fallen into ruins; or if any stili stand, the effacing storms and de cay of many years have left in most i cas-s only a trace of the lettering, some fragments of which may still be read. A little way insane me wan is a nar row path steeply climbing the hill, pas sing straight over scores of graves that are n-.arkod by no unheaval of the soil but only by fragments of gravestones whose bases, still rooted in the earth, are likely to trip the unwary pedes trian. There could be no more forcible reminder of the futility of trying to perpetuate at least a name and the re cord of the beginning and the end of an earthly pilgrimage. Climbing north along this path through the grass that overhangs and. over the tombstones that encumber It. the visitor reaches at last a broader walk running east and west. Turning to the right on this path he soon ob serves a little cemetery within a ceme tery—a square enclosure made by a Headquarters for Ladies’ and Missei WE MENTION A FEW AND WOULD BE PLEASED TO SHOW YOU THAT OUR ASSORTMENT QUALITY CONSIDERED. 27-INCH C0AT8 In Kerseys and rough Oxford Grays.

The entrance is through a gate locked against intruders but this gateway is perhaps the only point where the visit or may 'have a view of the tiers of graves'within rising above one another on the hillside. A little notheast of the centre of this enclosure is the grave of Washington Irving. It is distinguished from the others only by the fact that the white marble tombstone is a little broader and higher and has a rounded and slightly ornate top. It bears simply the name, the age and the dates of the birth and death of the distinguished author. Around his grave are fifty or sixty other tomb stones each bearing the name of Irving or showing by its inserpition that the person commemorated was a member of the family. There was no trace here of the ruin and neglect that mark all the older parts of the cemetery. In another part of the churchyard are the graves of the Badeau family; Its most conspicuous member was Gen. Adam Badeau whose record in the Civil War and connection with Gen. Grant made him well known. Ills tombstone is rather more conspicuous than the others but none of the thirty or forty graves of his relatives shows that it has any attention save from the scythe of the solitary grass cutter. Curiously enough one of the older tombstones of this interesting spot is still erect and its inscription may be read, though with difficulty. It records the fact that th? man buried there out lived a century and left behind him 240 direct descendants. Time has dealt kindly with this notable record graven in brownstone; and sureiy the memory of a man who had so conspicuous a part in populating the country deserves perpetuation. UTILIZING WATERMEL0N8. How to Convert Five Cents Into a Dollar—A Yankee Device. Nearly every year thousands of watermelons are allowed to rot on the ground for lack of a market, while upon still larger numbers the profit is so small as to scarcely pay the farmer. Some ingenious and thrifty New Englander has started a movement in Georgia to put an end to the waste and to utilize the melons upon a large scale. He has given his system an ex perimental trial, and finds that it works well upon a small scale. The fruit is washed, cut open and the rind separated from the flesh with in. The rind is broken into small pieces, and is either pickled, sweet pickled, preserved or crystalized. It may also be dried or evaporated, when it produces a substance quite similar to pumpkin. The flesh is run through a separator, and the seeds taken out and put to one side. These are dried, and may be used to plant the next crop or to be shipped to Chinese communities, where they are a very popular deli cacy. It is also possible to remove the hull of the seed and convert the kernel into a preparation similar to grape nuts or almond paste. It has a pleas ant flavor, is rich in albuminoid ele ments. and contains a mucilage which Is of great advantage to a cook. The flesh or pulp proper may be treated in different ways. If taken from the machine without any fur ther preparation, it may be used as food for pigs, cattle, horses and poul try, which seem to enjoy it greatly, or it may be drained from Its water, when it becomes a thick paste, like boiled squash. The water itself may be evaporated, and the resulting liquor, which is sweet, may be con verted into a fine fruit vinegar, or may be boiled further down and made into sirup or sugar. According to those who have given the matter thought, the watermelon, which can be pur chased for a few cents down In Georgia, may be converted into a series of useful products worth at least $1.—New York Commercial-Ad. vertiser.

It is said that (Time is rapidly increas ing among our juvenile population. Those wlm have studied the causes are agreed that it is. in a large measure, due to the reading of bad books and papers by the young. The other day I war rending an account in one of our city papers of a IS-vcar-old murderer, not of great malice, perhaps, but ready 1o use his pistol, with little provoca tion. like his heroes used theirs. TV paj**r declared mat the city is flooded with bad books. It declared that the news company that furnishes books and magazines to the retail trade es timates that fi.Toift copies of blood-and tliuruler fiction arrive weekly in that city. This amounts to 5r*.W« cot ires a year. It might roughly be estimated 1I1HI '"I'.'W'v 1 r v mnru books. Thetkliture of $7. a year would al low a hoy to procure 250 hooks.

So All Medical Authorities Agree. Judge Durham, a 'well-known local Judge of Greensboro, Ga., Lad an expe rience with Peruna well worth reciting. A report had become current among the Judge’s friends that he was threatened with consumption. It was feared for a time that Georgia was to lose one of Its most prominent and influential citizens. It was also reported that the Judge had failed to get any relief from any of the medical aid at his command, that he had made use of the now world famous remedy, Peruna, and made a prompt re fo very. The affair created quite a sensa tion In medical circles especially, and the many friends of Judge Durham were uot only exceedingly gratified at his re covery, but were enthusiastic in their praises of the remedy that had brought him relief. The following written statement from the judge himself set forth the facts: Oreensboro, On., March 3,1900. Some time ago I contracted a severe cold which settled on my lungs and In my head, t tried many remedies, all ot which gave me no relief. I con eluded that my case wan catarrh ot the head and lungs, and seeing Peruna so highly recommended began using It, experiencing the very bent results from the first bottle. mmtml m I i i fc .i. .1 ■I continued using Perune Hr a short while, ami have never tell the leant eymptema of catarrh elate, he* runa la certainly a goo* medicine, anm deaervea the highest praise which la given It by the general public.

SERIOUS CONDITION. I Foot and Mouth Contagion in Massachusetts Is Alarming. United States Authorities Active and Take Decided Stand. Quarantine Established and Disease Will Be Stamped Out. Bouton. Nov. 28.—The cattle bureau ot the Bthtw Board of Agriculture up to today had received about 100 ir>dl-* vidual report* of the presence of the foot and mouth contagion, which has caused the secretary of agriculture to prohibit the exportation of cattle from Boston and to establish a quarantine of cattle, sheep and swine in New Eng land. The bureau could not quote figures, today, to show to what extent the dis ease prevailed in this section, but it was stated that all reports received had come from localities within "5 miles of Boston situated mainly to the west and southwest of the city. It is admitted that the action of Secretary Wilson in closing the port of Boston to cattle shipments is a matter of great importance to transportation companies, but in view of the serio“, nature of the Infection and the dim cully in exterminating It, the step is considered the only safe one to be taken. Concerning the highly contag ious character of the disease. Dr. Aus tin Peters, chairman of the state cat tle bureau, says: "‘Cattle passing over the same road traversed by infected animals will con tract the disease. Only the most strin gent quarantine will prevent a scourge hitherto unknown in this country." The closing of Brighton stock yards, the principal ones In New England, by the state board of agriculture, will cause an interruption to traffic which under ordinary circumstances aggre gate SOU to 700 head of cattle a day. The cattle bureau have strong hopes that the halt in business at this point will enable them to trace out the dis ease and reduce the prevalence of It. It is figured that a loss of some $50,000 to steamship companies will result if cat- tie traffic is held up for even two or three weeks. The present freight rates on cat tle are about $7.all a head and one sheep *7% cents apiece. Between 2000 anil 3000 head of cattle and from 4UU0 to .VS*) sheep are booked to leave here, tomorrow and Sunday, on the stAamers Svlvanla and Sagamore for lAverpool and the Columbian for Lori ^Ptie Cunarder Svlvanla, which sails, to morrow. for Liverpool, was booked to take .fil'd cattle and 700 sheep; Sagamore, wiling Sunday for Liverpool, Will cattL and 1(174 sheep; Columbian, sailing Sun day for Isindon. SOU cattle and 1300 sheep. Other hookings of live stock lor steam era leaving here within the next 10 days are ns follows: Englishman. Liverpool, 2*1 cattle. Merlon, Liverpool, soo cattle; ITItonln. Liverpool, .7411 cattle; Armenian. Liverpool, 650 cattle and lnOO sheep; KlUKHtonian. London. 381) cattle and li®0 sheep; Columbian. London, 500 cattle, 12H) sheep; Virginian, London, 425 cattle. The shipments figure up more than $45, 100 In freight charges. Shipments of live slock from Boston fab the week ending last Saturday were 2107 heeds of cattle. 3915 sheep. There were also exported 5422 quarters of dress ed l>oef. These were taken In the Sa chem and Wlnlfredlan from Liverpool, the Cambrian from London and the Li vonian for (llasgow. Exports from New York were 1151 heads Of cuttle, 1204 sheep, 13,720 quarters of beef. J. A. Hathaway, one of the largest ex porters of cattle In the country, who con trols several stock yards, among them those at Watertown and Brighton, con siders the order of the secretary of agri culture forbidding the exportation of cat tle from New England a very serious blow to ilealers in live stock. Tonight, he said that he had communicated with the Washington officials during the day to find out what could bo done about mov ing cattle and sheep at Watertown, and, tonight, received notice that a portion of the slock on hand could be moved imme diately. They will be shipped to Boston and placed on stcumers which will sail, tomorrow. Cattle are being loaded on the two ocean liners at docks on the water front, tonight. The British government has asked by cable whether these cattle will be allowed lo land at British ports at the same time informing that government of the conditions under which they are be ing loaded, the cattle being either western or Canadian. The message furthir states that the Canadian cattle have come here in bond, none from the district Were the disease is supposed to exist, and the cattle have all passed govern ment inspection and are declared to be in good condition. The steamers will not sgll In the morning until an answer lo the cablegram Is received. rteorge Bruy, agent of the Ia>yland lane, received a private disiuilch from Wash ington. tonight, saying that after tomor row cattle from Ihe West might he ship ped through Portland if they could be got there without tuissing through th“ prohibited states. Connecticut. Massachu setts, Vermont and New Hampshire. This can be done by using the Canadian l’a ctfic Railroad. Mr. Eray and the agents of the other steamship lines which have been carrying cattle from Boston and Portland, say that If they cannot do this at Portland they will have to seek outlets for the western live stock at New York. Baltimore, Phil adelphia and other ports outside the for bidden states, and some of the shipment have have to be made from St. John and Halifax. The disease having been dec la red c demic among the cattle of Massac! setts, both the United States governin' and the state authorities have tak drastic measures to stamp it out. t former by prohibiting the shipment cattle from the port of Boston and qtu antinlng the states of Vermont. Mas> chusetts, Rhode Island and Cotfhecth against the receipt of cattle and swii und the hitter by closing the cattle iral at the Brighton stack yards, the clear! house for cows in New England. It is hoped by the strictest kind quarantine and by the frequent and rii Inspection of alt the herds in the st; to eradicate the disease. Although the cattle commissioners both Vermont and Connecticut reisiri today that there was no sign of the d ease in those states, several addilior cases were discovered In Massachuset One of these was at the Brighton sto yards and several In Littleton. It is known that there are several cat a .nviston. but it is thought he hailed from Port land. He was about 30 years old. A deer head with antlers, together with the hoots and hide, all neatly done up in a wooden box and addressed to Fred Santa, No. 3, North William street. New York City, was seized at the Maine Central station at Bangor, Friday noon, on he arrival of the Washington County train, by Game Warden Neal. The box was shipped by Henry A. Plummer at Columbia. Plummer is a licensed dealer in deer skins but this shipment is a violation of the law in that the head and hoofs were included. The box was coniis eated. On Thursday noon Warden Neal found a grip containing 15 pounds of moose steak which he also seized. On the arrival of the Washington County train. Wednesday night, three large deer skins were seized, together with the trunk containing them. The wardens were unable to find the ownet of the trunk on the train.

Free Medical Advice to Women. /FreJ'trictij Confident* Every sick and ailing woman, Every young girl who suffers monthly, Every woman who is approaching maternity. Every woman who feels that life is a burden, Every woman who has tried all other means to regain health without success. Every woman who is going through that critical time the change of life is invited to write to Mrs. Pinkham, Lynn, Mass., in regard to her trouble, and the most expert advice telling exactly how to obtain a CURE will be sent abso lutely free of cost. The one thing that qualifies a person to give advice on any subject is experience —experience creates knowledge. No other person has so w ide an experience with female ills nor such a record of success as Mrs. Pinkham has had. Over a hundred thousand cases come before her each year. Some personally, others by mail. And this has been going on for tw enty years, day after day, and day after day. Twenty years of constant success think of the knowledge thus gained! Surely women are wise in seeking advice from a woman with such an experience, especially when it is free. Mrs. Hayes, of Boston, wrote to Mrs. Pinkham when she wai in great trouble. Her letter shows the result. There are actually thousands of such letters in Mrs. Pinkliain’s possession. Dear Mrs. Pinkham I have been under doctors’ treatment for female troubles for some time, but without any relief. They now tell me 1 have a fibroid tumor. I cannot sit down without great pain, and the soreness extends up my spine. I have bearing down pains both back and front. My abdomen is swollen, I cannot wear my clothes with any comfort. Womb is dreadfully swollen, and I have had flowing spells for three years. My appetite is not good. I cannot walk or be on my feet for any length of time. “The symptoms of Fibroid Tumor, given in your little book, accurately describe my case, so I write to you for advice.” Mrs. k. 1. Haves, 232 Dudley St. (Boston), Roxbury, Mass. “Dear Mrs. Pinkham:—I wrote to you describing my symptoms, and asked your advice. You replied, and I followed all your directions carefully for several months, and to-day I am a well woman. The use of Lydia E. Pink ham’s Vegetable Compound, together with your advice, carefully followed, entirely expelled the tumor, and strength ened the whole system. I can walk miles now. Your Vegetable Compound is worth five dollars a drop. I advise all women who are afflicted with tumors, or any female trouble, to write you for advice, and give it a faithful trial.” Mrs. E. F. Haves, 252 Dudley St. (Boston), Roxbury, Mass. Mrs. Hayes will gladly answer any and all letters that may he addressed to her asking about her illness, and how Mrs. Pinkham helped her. 9 FORFEIT if we cannot forthwith produce the original letter and signature ef above testimonial, which will prove its absolute genuineness.

"If some one would organize a club for the promotion of etiquette in streetcars. 1 wouM join it.” said the woman with the reil cheeks. "Do you mean the question of men getting up and offering their seats to women?" asked the woman in the low rocker. “Well, the men can keep their seats for all of me," said the strenuous wo man. "I'm as well and strong as they are. Let them sit!" “But there is a principle involved,” retorted the woman with red cheeks. "It all rests with the mothers—the fault does, I mean,” said the woman with the gray hair. "Until mothers learn the wisdom of bringing up their sons to have respect for women, men will continue to retain their seats. I, too. think there is a principle involved." "It always provokes me to see a wo man argue with a man when he offers her a seat," said the business woman. “When a man offers me a seat I thank him and accept it with as great a show of courtesy us he manifests in besto.v Ing it." "I'm glad you thank htm for it," said the woman who was making the Renaissance lace collar. “Thank him!" said the woman with the red cheeks; "I shriek 'Thank you' so that it can be heard from the engine to the rear platform. The men have a chronic grievance about that point” "I have repeatedly seen women give the only vacant seat to their children and then stand themselves,” said the woman with the gray hair. “I shall always maintain that the whole situa tion is the fault of the mothers, and of no one else.” "It's the most amusing thing to study the men going home at night in the elevated." said the business woman. "They all look so mad because the wo men are all standing up around them." “The men are tired, and often that is liie reason wliy they do not give up their seats." said the woman who was always on the contrary side. "I presume likely they are,” said the business woman, "and it is a remark able coincidence that they are just as tired when they go downtown in the morning as they are when they go home at night. So far as I'm con cerned. I am willing to stand. I like to study the men. anyway.” "What do you discover that's new in your study'.” asked the woman who had not spoken before. "Well," said the business woman, “I detect an absence of enthusiasm, for one tiling, and I notice that most of the men are very grouty. Many of them feel so uncomfortable when a woman stands in front of them that they can not read, but only pretend to do so. As a mind reader I peruse the usual masculine mental organism and find something like this: “First man glances up at the woman who is standing and thinks, 'Well, stand, then, if you insist upon going home from your shopping when the tired men go home front their day’s work.' "Second man shifts his paper, looks up and says to himself. ‘Oh, you're young and strong—guess it won’t hurt you to stand.' "Third man buries his head behind his diaper—'I got up this morning and gave my seat to a woman who didn't thank me; guess I'll keep my seat.' “Fourth man glances up sidewise, and reflects: 'She's homely enough. Let her stand! Any woman who looks like that deserves to stand!' "Fifth man, with a scornful counte nance; ‘You're so anxious to have equal rights; now you've got them ail light!'"—New York Tribune. French Houses. There are many curious features in French tenement houses. The renters put In their own gas fixtures, and the landlords insist that the pipes lx* put outside the walls, saying that if thay are inside they may leak. At the close of his lease the tenant takes the fixtures away with him or sells them to the incoming tenant. The heating arrangements are very bad. As a rule every man heats his and iron own apartment, and stoves are used Steam-heating plants are not known by the majority of French householders, and only the fewest of the apartments have electric lights. It is wonderful how th»* people crowd themselves into small flats. To save room, cupboards are often built in the walls of the larger apartments. Rach cupboard when closed looks as though it might be a door leading into another room, but when opened you can sec it has a bed inside it und you learn that it Is there the children sleep. The rooms of such apartments are all con n* cted. The floors are very good they are kept shiny by means of shavings which look much like excel slor. These are sold at so much a pound, and they scour tfie floor until it shines. One of the queer features of every front door is what people here call a Judas.” This is a little piece of brass about as big as a visiting card with slits a sixteenth of an inch wide cut Into it. This card is lacked over a little hole in the door and so arranged that the person within can peep through and without being seen tell w'ho Is knocking bcfoic deciding whether she is at homo or not. If she does not want to receive' her caller the servant gives word tiufct she Is not in, and therefore the n£jti*b Judas. I don’t know hut that this ml quite as honest as the Judas kisses whl* our ladies often give thoir callers When tney wish that they were elsewhere. I have gone through Ft veral flats here in i.yons. The best of them have no comforts for the servants. The usual place ior the hired girl Is a little loft, made by catting off half the height of the kitchen, just wide enough to hold a bed. where tiie girl crawls off to sleep. 1 has 'III the mi !i^ cutjlut In li.nt frinn ifin is poor.. the kitchen Great llrltnln buys over 11,000 tons of German toys annually. while the United States ranks next, with an im portation of about 6000 tons.

Insurance Companies refused to insure the Rev. J. W. Yeisley because he had kidney trouble. 1 i ms case is but one of thousands here the head of the house was re- j fused insurance, because he had kid-! ney trouble. Mr. Yeisley had given up, in despair when some friend recom-! mended Dr. David Kennedy’s Favorite' Remedy and it cured him. Mr. Yeisley writes: “My kidneys and liver were in bad condition and I was anxious for relief.! I had tried many remedies without! success and when I bought a bottle of •Favorite Remedy,’ it was with but lit tle faith in its ever helping me, but in a short time it effectively proved its merit. Perhaps the best proof I can give that it has completely cured me is to state that I have since been ac cepted by four different life insurance companies.” The Rev. Mr. Yeisley is the pastor of the First Reformed church of St. Paris, Ohio, and is as well the editor of the St. I’aris Dispatch. There is no question that Dr. David Kennedy’s Favorite Remedy is the best and surest medicine in the world for diseases of the kidneys, liver, bladder and blood, rheumatism, dyspepsia and chronic constipation, as well as th» weaknesses peculiar to women. It quickly relieves and cures inability to hold urine and the necessity of getting up a number of times during the night. I it puts an end to that scalding pain when passing urine and corrects the bad effects of whiskey and beer.

Their Growth as Shewn by the Naval Annuals—Warships and Auxiliaries. The great naval annuals for 1902, such as tile Itritish Brtissey's ‘‘Naval Annual,” the German “Nauticus, J.ihrbuoli fur Deutsrhlunds Seeinteres sen,” the French "Aide-Memoire de Marine" and the Austrian "Marine Al nianak," have made their appearance anil there are some interesting points brought out in them. The development and growth of the world’s navies is of the most general interest, and the comparison of the world’s sea Powers as they will be in 1906 affords some valuable data for thought and consideration. The year 1906 is selected because in that year the- French naval law, the Russian programme for ship construc tion and building ptogrammes for most of the other great nations will have been practically completed. To com pare the fleets of the nations only bat tleships and large misers of over 5,000 tons displacement, which were launched not earlier than 1SR2 in case of battleships or in case of cruisers 1SR7, are considered.' An estimate made on this basis gives the following picture of the future: Total Battleships. Tonnage. Great Britain.57 (52 over lfl.OOO tons) 763.05. France.. .52(2! over lO.OOrt tons) 249..2. Russia.25(19 over KUiOO tons) 247,24! I nited States.2 France.2S (23 armored) 243.1.1 Russia. .13 5 armored) l'JO.6 Fnlted States... and the ri serves (6nne), we have a grand total available of 105,000. approximately. But of these the Coast Artillery (which is under the na«y in France) is to re ceive 7000. leaving 9S.000 for the ships. The fleet of 1907 will require but 80.000 men. conseqilfntly there is still an ex cess of IS.000 available for shore duty. The Italian Navy (less than three-fifths .he size of ours in ships) had 23,028 men in active service at the end of the year, ^r about the same as ours BesK s tm.a. iow*‘ver, there were available o\er •nrolled f;»r service anil under >cars of a"- so that 56.H7 were available for ser vice on board warships. Moreover, al.dM idditional men belonging to older classes. n,, longer in for sea service were urned over to the land army. Evident!.'. therefore, Italy has plenty of personnel LV iilable to man her war fleet, as well as for the defence of her coast, with a sur .lus of over 50.000 men .who can be uti her land army. The (lorrnan Navy has been trebled in strength (personnel) in the past twenty wars or doubled in the past ten. and wil "soon have her present force doubled again in 19ol she had 31.171 men in active service and according to the law of 19 the tlert will have a personnel of to. ini men The German fleet is still somewhat weaker in ships than our own. and will be veil in 19"«. and yet her personnel is far water now and will he nearly double our mu after the increase now asked for is made. Still another matter of interest con nected with the world's navies is the drength of the crews required for vari ous warships. It will he surprising to many to learn that there are quite a umoer of warships requiring crews of S# men or over. The British protected cruisers Powerful and Terrible have ear n S81 men. and the four armored cruisers ot the Duncan type, now building are to have the same. The Russian armored ■raisers Ftosija and Gromobol and the tnree Japanese battleships Assahi. lotsuse and Miteasa have each See men aboard. There are a considerable lumber of warships with crews number mr 700 men or over. Gnat Britain has IS France Russia 10. Italy s, and Ger many 1. the crews varying from 700 to 793 mon. Cause of Headaches. Many and many a person a martyr for years to periodical sick headaches, consulting physician after physician in vain, dieting, taking "headache euros." J and doing everything but the right thing, has finally had his eyes tested and fitted with proper glasses and thc-n found the headaches disappear as bv a miracle. The eye-strain headache ‘is of special type, and perhaps this is why it is so often unrecognized. It may he only an occasional dull pain in the J forehead or temples, it may he a gen- era] soreness, or it may bo a throbbing, racking headache which the slightest nc.ise or a bright light makes unbear- able. It may tie constant it may be ir- j regular or it may recur with the regu larity of a malarial attai k. Some times the pain is worse at nljfht, some times the patient wakes with a head ache which disappears after a cup of j coffee. The only characteristic of eye- strain headache is that it is persistent, and does not yield, at least permanent ly, to any course of dieting, medication or hygienic living. The .only effective treatment is removal of the strain by correction of any imperfection in the WHITMAN ADAMS QO. 1 J£~*zz sgis^ rr- ^sS2S^S==^“ pw vow ,vV_-_— ——1—* 1 «ILLP^__-- M I* U R ^L——J M —1 _——"^^viSZSE-»-~H w*f Si mv.

Natur ally nervous, it made me as the years went on, a most miserable wretch, al ways in an unnatural state of excite ment. 1 found, as I grew older, that I would at limes stagger as a drunken person. It was coffee for I had no de sire in drink anything in liquors. "My health was very bad and my brother and I were talking of quitting coffee, when I was stricken with ty phoid fever. I'pon my recovery, my brother wisely allowed me no coffee mid said if 1 wished in he well again. 1 must stop its use. ••For a number nf years, cold water was ni> only drink, hill I It is was poor comfort until about three years ago a package of l'ostuin food Coffee was li lt at our house.

I ivconuni nil l'ostuin io all my friends and in my varied experience, I tlud it a safe drink without effect on Ihe nerves and the only one which with me has filled a long felt want."

The Great Liver and Kidney Remedy, Blood Purifier and Dyspepsia Cure Good Blood. Hczema, Salt Rheum, Pimples, Blotches and almost every form of cutaneous or skin eruption are due directly to the fact that the blood is in a poor and impover ished condition. Morse’s Yellow Dock absolutely cures all trouble of that nature. It is as certain and sure to reach the seat of the disorder as can be. It makes nrignt, ricn, pure blood that carries away all tne impurities of the system and results in a clean, healthy, wholesome condition of the skin. It acts directly on the vital and digestive functions, helps assimulate and distribute the food into its proper channels and restores a body to its normal state. With absolutely pure blood, skin or other humors are impossible, they cannot exist. Morse’s Yellow Dock is an herb preparation carefully compounded,. and may be taken safelv, without the advice of a physician, according to directions accompanying each bottle. Testimonials like this are being received daily: !'or forty the years I have had the worse form of what the doctors pronounced hereditary Salt Rheum. There has hardly been a day during the above time that 1 have not had more or less running sores on iny person, and for the Iasi two years my legs, arms and body have been covered with these soies, so much so that I could not endure to wear my clothing. Muring my long term of affliction from this worse of diseases I have tried all styles of doctoring patent medicines, min eral waters, etc. Sometimes 1 would get temporary relief, but nothing permanent until now. Ten bottles of Morse's Vellow Dock havecured me, and there is not a sore spot on mv body. People who knew of my condition eight months ago, and now, pronounce the cure almost a mir acle, and I can only sav that I surprise all who knew me bv being alive today. SAMVEL IS.

Meaanre Sj* of he stretch of the plate were made by two young men, one measuring from below, anil the other measuring from above and for conven ience resting his elbows on the taut drawn steel. it was 'found that the readings taken by means of a very sen sitive micrometer varied slightly and It was suggested that the variation, might be due to the weight of the as sistant's elbows. It seemed impossible that a heavy steel plate under such a heavy strain could be made to sag ap preciably by so slight a weight, and yet the demonstration of this fact was even more remarkable. Adjusting the micrometer to register an upward bending of the plate the instructor put his hand beueath it and pressed upr ward with one finger. The bell con nected with the mierdmeter immedi ately stopped ringing, which showed that although the plate had been raised ever so slightly, the deflection had been sufficient to make the electric circuit and the sensitive apparatus had re cord -d the fact. The micrometer with electric contact will indeed detect a variation of one hundred thousandth part of an inch and respond to the additional weight of a man's hand upon a wooden beam t> by 8 inches in size already loaded with 63«H> pounds. By means of such appliances, in tests made upon full sized material, the constructing engi neer has during the past few years been supplied with exact data for his calculations, whether he is building a mill or a ship, an engine or an eleva tor. In studying the use of cement for building purposes, the Kuropean, es pecially the German laboratories, are, so far, w ell ahead of similar American institution. This is known to be large ly due to the fact that American build ers have hitherto found close at hand an abundant supply of wood, stone and brick, while in France and Germany these materials are not so available and the use of cement construction is almost universal; not only for walls and doors of buildings, but for monu ments and many sorts of permanent structures. Every technical school In Germany is studying and testing ce meat construction. The United State government has already begun investi gations to ascertain the effect of heat and cold ui>on this material, and it is probable that the important technical schools on this side of the water wil soon turn their attention also to the research work necessary to place it in tile hands of American builders. PROVERBS OF ALL LANDS. Quaint Parallels to Trite Sayings Ex isting Everywhere. Not the least interesting section of the proverbial philosophy of many peo ples is that which we And (plaint paral lels to common sayings existing in dome form or other nearly everywhere. These, no uoubt, have an independent rtrigin. and their interest lies in the ract that, while the same thoughts jmong widely different peoples are nec fssarily expressed in very similar terms, so that the parallel can be seen at a glance, they frequently involve the peculiarities of their environment. Titus, where we should say that a man is "hoist with his own petard." the Af ricans say. "With the ho's long tail the iio (a long-tailed monkey) is bound,” And the Haitians have it. "The yam vines bind the yams." Again, the pro verb. originally from the Greek, in common use in Europe: “The mas ter's eye makes the horse fat," has the peculiar West Indian rendering: "The garden far (from the master’s house) the gumbo spoils.” "You can't get blood from a stone, or from a beet, noi breeks from a Highlander,” finds ex pression in the tropical Indies as "The pumpkin vine does not yield the cala bash.'’ Even in regard to the matter r»f "going l>efore the beak" the East Ender and the West Indian have sim ilar terms, for where the former says pf a friend that he was "pinched.” oi 'polled." the latter observes that "they pressed his tail.” To cull a few paral lels at random it is only necessary to look at some touches of nature which make the whole world kin. and regard them front various national stand points. For instance, the idea that "He needs must go when the devil drives" is universally recognized. Says Quashee when lie would plead an ex cuse for being devil-driven Into petty larceny. "The stomach has no ears." and "The empty bag cannot stand up right." The classical and homely truth, “Drive out nature with a pitchfork and she will return." is recognized among many a negro tribe in thi Delicious DrinK.s and Dainty Dishes MADE FROM BAKER’S BREAKFAST COCOA ABSOLUTELY PURE Unequaltd for Smootd*a»».l>®licacjr ,ud FUtoi K la mine Ilia package yoa f«ei»e aad make aura that it bears our trade-mark* Under the decisions of the U.

Established 1780 DORCHESTER* MASS* : are made of.” sums up the situation in a way that prruaps is ruiim an n in &»crpui$. "If you want a thing done,” he says, “go yourself: if not, send.” “Still wa ters run deep,” if not one pf the best hundred proverbs, is certainly better than the Turkish saying: “Mistrust the water that does not warble, and the bird that does not chirp.” It lacks, nevertheless, a certain element of par adox which would have made it as near perfection as a proverb might be. It is merely because the follownig par allels possess this element that we pre sume to mention them in the same breath with our own proverb. Says the African: “Beware of a silent man: he has a brass band in his mouth.” The Arabian* with his meditative and introspective habit renders this as: “Defend us from the wrath of the mild in spirit,” and various savage tribes of South and Central Africa have the somewhat remarkable parallel: “Si lence hath a mighty noise.” It goes without saying that all the nations of the world formed the same opinion about woman long, long ago. and up to the present none of them have seen any reason to aiter it. But. whether this opinion in which they all concur is con cealed or revealed in proverbs, it would be’an insult to the reader's reason and common sense to state. As for the proverbs themselves, which can readily be distinguished as true or false at sight by the clever student of human nature, they yield a good harvest of parallels. "A woman, a dog. and a walnut tree. The more you beat them the better they be.” is a remark upon the wisdom or fool ishness of which no two sane persons •an hold two opinions, and the same nay be claimed for the Swahtit saying: •A man is not obeyed by his wife in his >wn house, nor does she oonsider him her husband, unless he thrash her— thwack!”; or for the Corsica's asser tion that “Just as a good horse and a bad horse both need the spur, so a good woman and a. bad woman both need the stick." When the Spaniard says, “Were a woman as little as she is good it pease •od would make her a gown and riood:" when the Frenchman pauses be tween ids absinthes to remark: "A man of straw is worth a woman of fold:" when the Italian leaves off kill ing his Kings to whisper. "If a man uses a woman and a farthing, he will be sorry he tuts lost the farthing; when the negro medicine man swears to his tribe that "words are women, leeds are men:" when they say in Fife that "the next best thing to nae wife is a gold wife:" when the Scotch in general admit that "honest men marry toon, hut wIse^nten never;" when the Persian asserts that "women and dra gons are best out of the world;" when the German swears that 'wherever there is mischief brewing there are a woman and a priest at the bottom of it." that there are only two good wo men in the world: one is dead and the >ther cannot be found;" and that every daughter of Kve would rather >e beautiful than good:" when the ;h*l "a woman's wisdom is under her heel;-' when, to make a long story ihort. all these people and more are that among those who recover from smallpox ther are those who are the lielter physieally for having hail tile disease, says .1.

You may be a bore and I may be a bore, aaya Turveydrop in the Sun, and we may not be aware of it until a thor ough introspection reveals it. The person who talks too much is a bore and the person who measures his words and guards his erpresslons is also a bore. There are persons who allow small habits to grow upon them until finally they make their society Irritating. I have in mind a young wo man of an ertremeiy sympathetic na ture which undoubtedly causes her bad conversational manner. In.her eager ness to appear thoroughly in touch with the person with whom she is talk ing She literally takes the words out of their mouths and repeats the conclud ing words of their sentences In unison with them. Some there are who inter rupt flagrantly in the middle of a speech. Others wander in their man ner and their replies. Everyone knows the person whose gaze travels around the room and everywhere but to the face of the one who is talking. Some times the gaze is followed by a remark or a question that is miles away from the subject under discussion. Over-sympathy Is sometimes as em barrassing as over-hospitality. In con versation some folks take you into their confidence too much. You are overwhelmed with their trust in you. This sort of thing needs careful prun ing. Repose in conversatios is one of its charms. Frankness and natural ness are always commendable traits, but there is no necessity of recounting your symptoms when you are asked bow you are. Talking about illness, disease, and death Is always one of the worst lapses. Yet It is persisted in. in spite of all that is said and written against it. And the imaginary in valids arc always the worst. The horror hunter is one of the most tedious of bores. He sees nothing but disaster, and adds to all real sorrow by looking forward to others. We should cultivate a healthy optimism in our talk at least. Above all. utter no evil prophecies: don’t go about reading awful happenings in dreams and omens. Croakers are always bores. So are faultfinders. D'scontent, they say. is divine, and all great things spring from it; but keep it hidden in your soul if you must cherish it, and don't bleat it at the cook. Above all. do not try to reform the faults of others while conversing with them, by covert remarks. If you do this you will become a worse bore than all the others put together. Don't try to give sly digs in conversation. Don't over-apologize for things that you have made an error in. Remember it and avoid the fault in the future. Don't bemoan anything. Don't talk about yourself at all. Don't talk shop of any sort. Don't talk about your hills. Don't talk too much about clothes. Avoid personalities and criti cisms of your acquaintances. Don't over-manicure your hands and let your manners get ragged at the edges. LINCOLN’S LAST STORY, Pardons and the Patagonian Style of Eating Oysters. The last story ever told by President Lincoln just before he left the White House to go to the theater on the night h- tea. swThtai Is .usfc'-iV— by Thomas F. Pendal. who is the oldest em plove. of the White House, and who went with Mr Lincoln to his carriage on the fatal night. "I have every reason." said Mr. Pendel. •‘for saying that the last pleasant little story Mr. Lincoln ever told was right here in this house. As is generally known. Sia-aker Colfax and Mr. Ashmutr. of Massachusetts were the last men to call on the FTesident prior to his de parture for the theatre. When these men called I carried their cards to Mr. Lin coln. and I know that they were the last to see him. However, not very long be tore they came. Mr. Lincoln had received a visit from Marshal 1-a.mon. who was from the President's home district, and ;l was Mr. Lamon who had introduced me to the President when 1 received my ap pointment, in November, 1**4. Mr. Lamon wanted to talk to Mr. Lineoln about a pardon for an old friend guilty of some slight violation of army regulations. The case was thoroughly gone over by the two. and with pen in hand. Mr. Lin coln was i ii.c act of signing the paper which Would 11. ike the soldier a free man when he turned to Mr. lamon and said: 'Lamon. do you know how the Pat agonians eat oysters?’ ‘No. I do not. Mr. Lincoln.’ was the reply. 'Well, lamon. it Is their habit to open them as last as they can throw the shells out of the window, and when the idle of shells grows to higher than the hous. why they pick up stakes and move. Now. Lamon. I feel like beginning a new pile of pardons, and I guess this is a good one to begin on.' "It wasn't long after this before the other gentlemen rame. and after they had finished their call Mr. and Mrs. Lincoln came down and I went with,them to the rarriage. That was the lost time 1 saw the good man alive." Mr. Pendel says that he had every op portunity to study the President, for ne was In the room with him nearlv all the time—a bodyguard. Mr. Lincoln did not like the idea of being guarded, and made frequent objections to having some one constantly near him. On one occasion he said to Mr. Pendel: "Pendel. 1 do not like to be guarded, but I have received a number of threatening letters lately. 1 have no fears, however.

A Rhode Island Girl, Who Suffered Agonies From This Terrible Dis ease, is Permanently Cured. 1 Rheumatism is a disease of the blood and must be treated through the blood. External applications can give no benefit that will last. The truth of the above is well shown by the experi ence of Miss J. B. Jameson, of No. 24 George street, Providence, R. L She says: "I had rheumatism in the knee and it pained me dreadfully. Those who have had this terrible affliction know what agonies I suffered. Liniments gave me no lasting relief and I kept getting worse. I became nervous and all worn out, and also began to suffer with a severe pain in my side. ‘•My mother had taken Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills and obtained the very best results from them and had given them to me several years ago when I was ill. They cured me then so I determined to try them this time for my rheumatism and nervousness. I had not been using them a week before the pain began to disappear, the nervousness to grow less and in a short time I was entirely my self again. I have recommended Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills to my friends and usually keep some On hand.” The real cause of rheumatism is the presence of acid in the blood, which irritates the sensitive tissues that unite the joints and cover the muscles, thus causing those indescribable tortures which rheumatic sufferers endure. Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills for Pale People go directly to the seat of the trouble, ex erting a powerful influence in purify ing and enriching the blood by elimi nating poisonous elements and renew ing health-giving force, thus making a potent remedy for curing this dis ease. Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills for Pale People are an unfailing specific for all diseases arising from impoverished blood or shattered nerves.

The last run of the season of the Ken nebec steam carpet cleaner will be made next Tuesday. The slight snow storm has given the shoe stores a litle start on the sale of rubbers, so the local dealers say. The Augusta, Win'throp Gardiner Railway has been very busy during the last few days hauling lumber for the ice house at Cobbosseecontee. Delmore Jackson, formerly of the Journal job department, lost two fin fters, a few days ago, while working with a wood-sawing machine in China. Today the ladies will have another chance to get a pair of crocheted slip pers for 50c. at Stevens Ballard's. These are bargains, as everybody will allow. H. G. Barker Co. claim to have one of the most extensive lines of gloves on the river and the window display justifies the claim. Here also can be seen the new fad in neckties, the "Ascotias.” The steamer Kennebec left Bath at 3 o’clock, yesterday morning, for Bos ton, and a return trip is expected, Saturday. This is the last trip of the season, there being no more outgoing boats. There is practically no hard coal for sale in the city now, since that nearly all that has come in recently had been spoken for in advance. What there is leit. however, is being sold in lots of from 500 to 2000 pounds at $0 per ton. In the municipal court, yesterday morning. Charles Bushey appeared be fore Judge Andrews to answer the charge of assault upon Belle Gordon. He was found guilty and lined $5, from which he appealed. Business was very quiet on the streets, yesterday, after the celebraties of Thanksgiving, about everybody out side, no doubt, feeling it their duty to attend strictly to business at home and make up for the expense of satis fying the greedy appetites. The hotel registers in the city show that a large number figured it much cheaper and easier to take their Thanksgiving dinner at the hotel rather than go to the trouble of get ting up an elaborate bill of fare at home. The schooner Bygonia, which brought a cargo of hard coal to Purinton Brothers was discharged Thursday noon and the tugboat Adelia towed it down the river. It is not expected that any more vessels will come here with coal this fall. Augusta's hard coal supply will have to come by rail for the remainder of the year. A certain farm was advertised in the Journals "For Sale” column for weeks and after it was sold a man who had not been in the habit of read ing the "For Sale” and "Want” col umns was berating himself for not having known before it was too late, that the farm was for sale at so low a price. Moral: Make it a habit to read these columns daily. Bunt and Brann carry the materials for making a good many presents suitable for Christmas, weddings, birthdays, etc. They carry stamped linens for doilies, centrepieces, tray cloths, bureau and commode covers, to gether with the silk, linen and cotton threads for working the same; Batten berg patterns. braids, rings and threads; in fact everything for fancy work. Sunday morning at the State Street Free Baptist church the pastor. Rev. G. Mosher, will give the second sermon in the series on "Scripture Metaphors.” The Sunday evening services at this church are proving of unusual interest; these services during the winter will be conducted alpng evangelistic lines, and already the wis dom of this course has commended it self to all interested. After the Thanksgiving feast of rich pies and puddings, nothing is more delicate or digestible than the prepara tions of gelatine. Besides the old "standbys” Geo. IX Haskell has many new varieties. Swampscott's sparkling eelatine is a great favorite. Ra t on stanta, a preparation from the real guavas. makes a delicious dessert in stantly. that meet with such favor at the recent Food fair, is very popular. They are all good. It rests with you to decide which is best. The Stale registrar of vital statis tics recently had an inquiry from a couple intending marriage, which is of considerable interest. One of the parties was an adopted child ana the query was: Under what name the party should be published? The answer given was: In case of a legal adoption through the probate court the court, under our laws, changes the name of the child to that of the adopted pa rents. which thereupon becomes the child’s sole legal name for all pur poses. In case of the adoption being illegal, of course, the original name remain the legal one. Thanksgiving day was observed In \ugusta in the usual manner. There j vere religious services at nearly all the ity churches and appropriate sermons .vere preached by the pastors. Then here were the customary family re* mions in countless homes, where lav ish feasts were spread and joj and gladness reigned supreme. It ,l lull and cheerless day out of doors but in the houses there was comfort and pleasure and happiness in intimte measure. There were several f001® entertainments throughout the city in the evening and the day was passed in generous thanksgiving, as the procla mations of President Roosevelt and Governor Hill advised. Many went to Gardiner in the afternoon and etenbig to attend the K. of P. fair and a few ent to Winthrop to the firemen s ball n the evening. ung Kura quickest relief for consumption. Pillsbury’s Best Flour is sold by grocers every where in sacks and barrels. While it is sold everywhere, it is not sold by every grocer. Hence, agrocerwhodoesnot keep Pillsbury’s Best Flour, naturally will try to sell the flour he has in stock, de claring, either through ig norance or from a desire to dispose of what he has on hand, that his flour is as good as any other. Care should be taken to buy Pillsbury’s Best Flour in original packages, so as to get the genuine article. PERSONAL MENTION. Thos. II Cuddy is spending a few days in Boston. John M.

Thanksgiving at the Methodist Church. The Thanksgiving reunion at the Meth odist church was a happy thought. A general Invitation was extended to all who wished to attend. A large number accepted, so that tho vestry was tilled with happy and thankful people. The object was to give all who were away from home a church home welcome, and the church people an opportunity to meet and welcome new comers and strangers. From fi to 7.30 supper was served. Over laa gathered about the tables. The La dle*' Aid Society served the supper while members of the young ladies’ society, the Susannah Wesley Club, acted as waiters.

Gardiner, is well worth one's time. He has on exposition specimens from all parts of the world, including many beautiful birds from India and Japan, aligators and turtles from the South, mule, deer. Jack rabbits and goats heads from the west; and large owis from the Bortal regions. Resides these foreign 'Specimens he has hundreds of Maine birds, animals and game heads, among which are many moose, deer, etc. Some of th most interesting specimens are two Albino deer, a buck and a doe, a four-footed chicken, a golden eagle, a number of very tine foxes, coons, bears, mounted fish and in fact about every thing that ever flew, walked or swam. The great secret of Mr. Dill’s success is his fine, artistic, durable work, which has won for him a world wide reputa tion. His work is all done by methods of his own which are the result of years of careful experiments and study. At the present time he is taxidermist for the State Museum at Augusta; he also does the work for a Biddeford museum, and for hundreds of sportsmen from all parts of the country. As his methods are secret we are not at liberty to publish them only in a gen eral way. The first room is where the specimens are skinned and the flesh re moved; front here the skins are taken to another room where they are put in a large vat. The bones are cleaned and hung up to dry. After a time the skins are taken from the vat and put through a process which removes the animal oil and renders them moth proof and odor less. I.ater they are taken back to the work room and shaved by a patent ar rangement to the thinness of paper. Now they arc ready to be put on the forms which arc made up like a piece of statuary. The skill required in making a form for 'an animal or head is the same as re quired by a sculptor, only the taxidci mist has one more thing to take into consideration. He must make a form not only life-like but he must make it so that the skin will just tit. After the skin is put on the form the specimen is put in the dry room where it remains un til it is thoroughly dry, then it is touched up and put on a nice mount. The birds and fish are mounted by the same process only the bird skins are not put in the vat. Besides the work on birds, animals and fish, is the rug work which is the very best. The skins are tanned end made soft and pliable, being absolutely moth proof. After seeing the new methods of Mr. Dill's we no longer have any use for the old fashioned stuffed specimens of a few years ago. AUGUSTA CHURCHES.

Thanksgiving was a quiet day in the city, more like Sunday than anything else. The weather was very unfavor able for any outdoor pastimes as there was a drizzling rain much of the time with mud and slush under foot. There was just snow enough to make every thing cold and nasty so the majority of the people gathered around the fire 1i les for their amusements. The grocery stores were open during the forenoon and did a rushing busi ness delivering belated dinners. At noon there was a general shutting down of all business. Most of the drug stores remained open for the day, the tobacco stores and news stores hut most of the others were closed and by I o’clock a Sunday nuiet had settled down on the street. There was a sunlight hop at the Ar mory during the afternoon which was largely attended, though the sunshine was lacking. In the evening the young people who cared for dancing scat tered to out of town dances, the largest number going to Clinton on the special train which left here at 7 o'clock In the evening. Other dances in other places drew a few from the city, there being no special attraction in the city in the evening. The usual union service was held at the Haptist church, a line sermon being preached by Kev. A. A. Lewis of the Pleasant street Methodist church. A service was held at the Universaiist church on Silver street in the morn ing and at St. Mark's on 'Center street. They Presented a Play. One of the pleasing events ol' Thanks giving in the city, this year, was the presentation of a play by the young .peo ple of the Second Baptist church in Pel letier hall on Water street, Thursday evening. The following is the cast of the play which was entitled "The Fruits of the Wine Cup:" i vfr. Hamilton, Cecil Pierce 'harles Bailey, Eddie C. Lushas ''harles Bailey, Jr.. llarry Simpson ark Andrews.

It may not he in my day or yours Inn tin time's a dug in n it will li. on ol' tin. iarg -i itics in Hie State. It can’t be helped. With her school system, water I'Ow'er atul railroad facilities she's got '>ig odds over the others. We thought e had pretty good train service with iu.-t tlit? Maine Central but when the little narrow gauge gets across the river and the Augusta Waterville ind the Waterville Oakland electric roads get into action it’s going to tie improved a. great deal. A man can then get in or out the city almost any hour of file day or night and in almost any direction. “As it is now a man can got out in any direction in the morning and get hack the same day. The city has stores now that are rather better than those of any place of Hie same size and they are improving all the time. Any one can see a big change for Hie better in the last 10 years and there is every reason for thinking there'll he even a greater change in the coming 10 years. The little narrow gauge and the Wa terville Fairfield electric roads are bringing a pile of business to the city every- day and the two new roads are bound to do the same. ’’The goods and the prices will draw ’em in here every time and as soon as the cars are running they are coming in docks and droves. You can see how it is with the narrow- gauge and it will be the same only belter with the elec tric roads. The old industries are be ing enlarged and new ones built every day and all this means more business. While other places are scratching for business and offering inducements the business is coming to Waterville of its own accord. The facilities and the op portunities are here and these with a warm welcome and a little encourage ment are enough. “But the city has got its share to do all the time. The citizens want to get together and work like one man and a good worker at that. It already has the reputation of being a wide awake hustler and this wants to be backed up and increased. Family brawls won't go for a minute but every one’s got to help some or.c else and all work to gether. The only question to ask is a scheme good and all O. K. If it is every one wants to get behind it and push. “There's no use in letting a few go ahead while the others follow along behind with a big load of criticism and a long hot air speel about how they could do it so much better. If they really think so it's time to close their trap and have a try at It. The pros perity band wagon has got steam enough and Is moving along all right. All there Is to do is to steer it and it takes about every man, woman and child at the pole to do this successfully. One man nor two men can't do it but if every one's got a hand on the pote the old wagon's going pretty straight and over the best road. "I've got a lot of faith in Waterville and I know she’s a comer if the people only do what’s right and I'm glad to see they’re working around to it all right." ST. FRANCIS DE SALES Had a Meat Pleasant Observance qf Thanksgiving Day. There was a special observance of Thanksgiving by the St. Francis de Sales church, this year, that will doubtless long be remembered by the pnrtshoners. Massi was celebrated In tile morning at which Ilev. Fr. Har rington of Orono, preached the ser mon. in the afternoon the school buildings were thrown open for public inspection and a baked bean supper served there at the proper time to which the public was invited. The rooms of the school building were thronged all the time during the hours they were open, there being genrous sprinkling of Protestants to j whom the building was especially in teresting. What they saw are models in the school line. The school rooms themselves are large, light, airy and extremely neat. A pleasing feature is the large music loom with its two pi anos and other musical instruments for the use of the scholars. Both day and boarding scholars at tend, the latter being housed and fed in the building. There are some 30 beds in lhe domitory with a dining room and kitchen large enough to match. The quarters of the sisters, who are the teachers in the school, were very interesting in their rigid simplicity and great neatness. In addition to the school building an addition has been built of brick for die chuich. This is large enough to enclose the altar and chancel and adds much to the seating capacity. Large numbers partook of the sup per which was provided by Rev. Fr. Charland, the proceeds going into the improvements that have been made. There was a short musical program that was very much enjoyed, the French band having a. generous share in this and one that was appreciated. Altogether it was a delightful time, one of the best that has been held by the church for some time and one that will make the past Thanksgiving a memorable ore. STRUCK BY ELECTRIC. Serious Accident to Ralph Partridge, Friday Evening. Ralph Partridge was struck by an electric car in charge of Conductor Will Ireland and Motorman Theodore Stevens, at the upper Maine Central crossing, at 7.45, Friday evening. From what can he learned of the circum stances, the accident happened in this way: Mr. Partridge is employed in the Maine Central shops and was on his way home from work, going down through the yard. The shifter was moving up the yard a short distance •away and the ear was going up the line toward Fairfield. The combination of switch lights and electric lights is such at that point that it is difficult for anyone to see clearly when walking on the tracks in the night. Mr. Partridge's attention was evi dently attacled by the shifter or some thing in the yard so that he stepped on the track directly in front of the moving electric. The motorman did all that was pos sible, but could not prevent the car from striking the man. He was Miuciitni uuwn unu went uput1! int first sec of the trucks. He was taker out as quickly as possible and sent t«i Stevens' hospital and Drs. Boyer and Abbott were called to attend him. Motormnn Stevens, the oldest man on the road in point of service, having been at work on the cars 15 years, and is considered an unusually quick man with the handles of a car. Those who saw the accident say that his prompt action evidently prevented Mr. Part ridge from being kiled outright. It was learned later from the doc tors that Mr. Partridge had suffered a compound fracture of the left leg just above the ankle, injuries to the right arm and painful scalp wounds.
