He graduated at Amherst in '87, was Morgan Fellow at Harvard, where he took the degree of Dr. of Philosophy in ism). He afterward studied in Leipsio and Berlin, taught Latin at Harvard, and was for a time in the Harvard Library. He w,as a remarkable scholar, and author of several learned books.. He had beeu mentally estranged previously. While devoted to his books he was also fond of nut-door sports, and in his student days was one of the strongest men in college. He will be remembered by Andover people as the son of Rev. Dr. John W. 11avlev, a graduate of our Seminary and afterwards a resident for several years on Salem street, at which time young Hayley WAS a pupil in our public schools. This calamity belongs to the elass of cases where the deranged mental «ooiidi- tiou and irresponsibility for death are very clear.

H mry W. Barnard's Residence Bntsred.

Burglars, who were evidently bunglers as well, broke Into Henry W. Barnaid's residence on Thursday morning about i o'clock. Mr. Barnard was away at I lie time on one of his business trips.

At the hour mentioned Mrs. Barnard awoke to find a man standing by her bed. She asked him what he wanted whereupon the man bolted from the room. After lighting a lamp, as she found the electricity was not on, Mrs. Barnard took a revolver and went down stairs. She hail called several times to know who it was, and had reeeived the answer, "Oh, its all right. Its John." she found the front door open and the back door unlocked, .but could not discover that anything had been taken, although several bureau drawers had beeu opened, and the floors upstairs and down were strewn with matches.

Km ranee was effected by way of the kitchen window. The burglar or burglars, for it Is thought that there were two of them, got a barrel from the cellar and by placing it on the piazza, were able to reach the window, from which they removed a light of glass, to unfasten the catch. A gas bicycle lantern was found near the house Thursday morning which th» burglars evidently left la their hurry to decamp. 'Jjy

THE ANDOVER TOWNSMAN, ANDOVER, MASS., OCTOBER 6, 1899.

Pantoskey'n Great Gun.

Patriotism hai received a. check In Oakland, Alameda County, Cal. The city auditor has declared that, while the law allows the city council to pas* a resolution to pay Jake Pantoskey $425 for one great gun, It 'forbids the passage of another resolution to pay Jak* Pantoskey $425 for another great gain of the pair that should adorn the "base of the new flag-pole. There is some patriotism In all this disturbance, there is more politics, there la local color In great dabs. It all began with the flag-pole. Oak-

land is an ambitious community. It does not pretend to be the largest city In the state, for Ban Francisco has outstripped It In the race for mere population. But It comes out strong In Its position as the banner republican city of California, and that assertion la beyond any dispute from Ban Francisco across the bay, for Ban Francisco is a very wicked place and always goes sol- idly democratic. Since mere numbers are out of question for Oakland, It comes out strong on quality. It is the city of homes and schools and churches, the Boston of Alameda county, the Athens of the Pacific. The leading club Is the Athenian, and the most con- conspicuous jeweler sells safety pins hidden under the disa*ulse of golden grasshoppers, and, according to the enterprising jeweler, "you can read all about them bugs In the Greek book of Thoosy-dldes."

Brave professions these, but underneath Is a gnawing anxiety. In reality Oakland Is Oakland because San Fran- cisco is San Francisco; and, as everybody knows San Francisco was not In- tended for human habitation in the summer afternoons and evening*. It Is impossible to describe the climate of the southern gate post of the Golden Oats during these hours, except by ar- bltary signs, and it does not look nice to litter up a narrative with undesirable dashes and astonlshers. To avoid such things in conversation as many as can do o move over to the Contra Costa. Theoretically, the climate of California, technically known as glorious, does not begin short of Mllpltaa and the Mission San Jose. Practically, there is enough of It over at Oakland to constitute that place one of the cities of refuge. So a great many men who do business in San Francisco live In Oakland on account of the climate. Other men live there because it Is the only place In the world where you can get a drink on the ferry-boat, thus economising; time. It Is necessary to explain these potnti In order to make clear the present dead-

lock as to Jake Pantoskey's guns. Enough has been presented to show that Oakland has the same sort of mu- nicipal pride as Brooklyn bad before the Greater New York swallowed it up. That brings its htstorp up to the celebration of the last Fourth of July, when legendary patrltotlsm was mixed np with enthusiasm, only a single year old. Oakland agreed that the Fourth should

be celebrated In such a way to settle once and for all the supremacy of the Athenian town. The celebration was to proceed along conventional lines but It was also to leave a lasting memorial In the shape of a flag-pole which should surpass all other flag-poles as the oak overtops the huckleberry tree, which should be the tallest In the state, which was to be higher than anything else In California, save the Sierra Nevada.

The flag-pole was duly erected and Oakland's pride was duly satisfied. Tet upon contemplation of it later, something seemed lacking. The defect was discovered to be the lack of martial trimmings. Here Is where Jake Panto- skey came in. Hs had a navy, and he was willing to sett It in lots to suit. For a price he would part with two smooth-bore, mussle-loaders, Rodmans or Columbians, the armanent of offence of the monitor Comanche. P. N., which means Pantoskey Navy. The council passed one resolution to pay 9425 for one gun, and another resolution to pay $425 for the other. The plan was to station these great guns at the foot of the flag-pole. Trophy guns of the Spanish war would have been more inspiring; but a town which has only a congressman-elect, and a first term man at that, would have to be content with what It could get, and the chances are that It would get nothing bigger than an au- tomatic. Just think how it would look to have the tallest flag-pole In the state of California supported by nothing more dignified than a one-pounder; you might as well nail up a revolver on the pole; a pearl handled silver plated .22 and let It go at that. So the Pantoskey guns were ordered. Then the auditor re fused to audit the bills, and Oakland Is stirred from the Creek to Hays' Canyon

The peddling of the Pantoskey navy may need some explanation for the benefit of those who are not familiar with the circumstances; In fact, the very existence of the Pantoskey navy of Ala- meda county may not be altogether understood. There Is a strip of Oakland locally known under the designation of "below Seventh street." From the railway tracks down to the creek It Is quite given over to those things which do not seem well to comport with the Athenian aspect of Oakland. Above the tracks are the homes, the schools, the churches, the banner republicanism, and all that sort of thing; below Seventh street are factories and gross commerce and the democratic vote. Above alt else there Is Jake Pantoskey. Jake Pantoskey does not belong to the Board of Trade or the Merchants' Association. He He seems to have made his beginning in Oakland by selling eggs. Then he went into egg culture. His was the gifted brain that Invented the combination of food for hens which enabled them to lay eggs only two-thirds full; a clear profit of thirty-three and a third per cent, on the capital Invested. There was nothing that Jake would not buy, there was nothing1 that he would not sell. By strict attention to business and by paying no attention to Athens and dead issues, Jake Pantoskey became known as a man of substance willing to place chattel mortgages on business enterprises on the other side of Seventh street. The only luxury which Pantoskey has allowed himself In years of successful finance Is to engage In mutual assaults and reciproca- ted batteries with the red-headed Har- rlssaefl, who are his rivals In the Junk business, and whose warehouse Is just across the street.

In a generation of unbroken peace the navy of the United States has become

possessed of a choice collection of bric- a-brac. After the war, there was a gen eral house cleaning of the naval docks and yards. Boards of survey went everywhere condemning everything which was condemnable, and ordering sales at public auction for what the goods would bring. That was just the thing for Pantoskey. Nothing was ever sold to him unless It was useless; noth- was ever bought from him that was not as good a new; the intervening stages were his business. So In the sale of the condemned goods of the United States at the Mare Island yard there was no wiser purchaser than Jake Pant oskey. To be sure his purchases, thoueh heavy In weight, did not greatly enrich the treasury at Washington; but that on the whole Is not expected of Junk sales In the navy yards. On the last day of the sale one of the Items put up was the monitor Comanche hull and en- gines, apparel, tackle, and apparatus, all as she lay In Rotten Row. 8he and her slater ship, the Monadnock had been the naval defence of the Pacific coast in the trouble of a generation ago, but she was a maiden ship, for never had a hostile shot been hurled. against her Iron armor. Once she had sunk be- neath the waters of Mlsison bay and had been pumped out.

Pantoskey would not have bid on the Comanche If be had seen no prospect of profit. But there was another reason why It was a good purchase. The terms of the sale were that all goods were to be removed from the yard Im- mediately. Pantoskey's purchases were many and bulky, and their removal would add greatly to their cost. This expense he could save by buying a ship. In JValleJo he found an engineer who undertook to run the Comanche out of the yard with all the other purchases on deck or tumbled below as might be more convenient. This set Pantoskey to bidding. He started the ball rollng by making the first bid $100. But his rival, the red-headed Harris, also wanted the Comanche and the price went up. Harris bid $125, Pantoskey $200, Harris $225. Pantoskey made even hundreds Harris raised always $26. Pantoskey got the ship finally at $1200. With the de- risive assistance of the yard tug*, the Comanche was shoved out of Mare Is- land waters, and slowly made her way to Oakland Creek, where she tied up, and there remains until she Is converted Into other shapes to bring wealth to Pantoskey and corresponding chagrin to red-headed Harris across the street.

It began to look very likely that the sale of the two guns was to return to Pantoskey a considerable slice of the purchase money. But a snag was struck and a serious one. The charter of the city provides that no sums of money of $600 or over shall be appro- priated except by an ordinance taking the usual course of publication, and the quickest time In which such an ordinance could be Jammed through the council Is six weeks. This law has been evaded from time to time by means of a series of resolutions appropriating $499. Since $499 Is less than $500 It may be spent by resolution and a resolution can go through In five minutes If all the councllmen stand In on the deal. The sucess on of much evasion depends altogether on the city auditor. If he Is a watchful officer he refuses to audit accounts under such resolutions.

The Pantoskey gun accounts were held up by the auditor. He holds that a resolution appropriating $425 to pay for one run and a resolution appropriating $425 to pay for another gun are equivalent to an attempt to evade the law, which forbids the appropriation of $850 except by resolution. Oakland. Athenian Oakland, has been rent by dissension since the decision was rendered. It Is the one topic of conversation on the cars and on the ferry. All sorts of Influence has been brought to bear on the Auditor, but he refuses to audit the bills. Not a member of the Council dares Introduce an ordinance appropriating $850 for the guns, for the

opposition cry aloud, "Why buy guns? Why not give us decent streets?" The last meeting of the Ebell Society broke up In disorder;, the Berkeley Associa- tion can hardly find the Judicial mind with which to approach Its next topic, "How great is the debt of the Man with the Hoe to Oakland?" The pole stands slim, erect, unprotected. It Is the tallest pole In California, It is on bowing terms with the high Sierras, but It haa no guns. The 15*-Inch smooth- bores that were to be its decoration and defence have, fallen Into the meshes of the law, and no one can foresee what the outcome will be.—N. Y. Sun.

Shooting oat Mffhts.

From the New Orleans TlmesDemocrat "According to western stories," said

a former ranchman, "one of the favorite amusements of frontier desperadoes is 'shooting out the llghfts.' I never saw It done but once but the Incident made sufficient impression on my mind to last me for life. It was ait Benton, a small camp on the ojd 'State Plain' trail, In northeastern New Mexico. I was staying there ovenlght with a couple of cattlemen and we naturally gravitated to the only resort In town, a sort of combination of bar and gambling house In a rough one story building containing a good sized single room. The bar was on one side and on the other were two or three Mexican monte tables over each of which were several large coal- oil lamps In wall brackets. In the centre of the place was a chandelier containing three more altogether giving a good deal of light. We were sitting at one side smoking and talking when In rushed half a dosen drunken cowboys headed by a well known ranchman Bill Wells. The crowd were out for excitement and didn't care how they got It They took several drinks and then clus- tered around one of the monte tables. In a few minutes Wells Insisted upon making a bet over the limit to which the dealer objected. 'If you don't turn for that bet, I'll shoot out your blank- ety-blanked lights!' bawled the ranchman. "The limit Is feefty dollar,' said the Mexican dealer and the words were no sooner out of his mouth than Wells and his gang pulled their six shooters and began biasing away at the lamps. About 25 or 30 shots were fired and almost at the outset the place was In complete darkness. Of course there was a stampede, but I remember being surprised that I had heard no crash of glass. Half an hour later I went back and found the place IK up as-brightly as ever. Wells and his cowboys having been taken away by friends. The roof was full of holes but not a single lamp had been hit. What had put them out was the concussion of the shafts In a confined space."

When this is accomplished, Biddy in the morning will start a fire, the heat of which will fill a series of storage bat terles that will do most of the work of the household during the day, illumi- nating the dwelling, propelling- the machine fans, running the sewing machine, operating the dumb-waiter, and so forth. This, however, is only a faint suggestion of the advantages to be gained by the discovery I speak of. Electricity will then become an exceedingly cheap source of energy, and the sun's rays may be even employed to manufacture the fluid. If, as does not seem unlikely, a twentieth century In- ventor finds a practical way of harness ing the tides, the latter will produce at a very light expense all the electricity required to run all the machinery and to heat and Illuminate all the houses In the United States.

The bouses of many rich men today are run to a great extent by electricity, which lights them, ventilates them and even operates the family elevator. This kind of elevator is Itself a very new In- vention; . It has no attendant, but Is so controlled by the Invisible force stored in great Jars of lead and acidulated water In the battery room that is as safe and docile as any well trained ser- vant. Anybody who wants to make use of it presses a button and the car comes responslvely to the floor desired. Stepping aboard, the passenger touches one of a series of buttons Inside and the car transports him to the floor, he wishes to go to. If the promises of electrical experts are to be accepted, our dwellings before long will be lighted by electricity without wires.

An extremely valuable product of the electric furnace, by the way, Is carbor- undum—now being made In a large way at Niagara—which is the hardest of all substances save the diamond, and therefore serves extremely well as an abrasive. By electrolysis aluminum is separated from Its ore, and thus has been brought to a point of exceeding cheapness, while by the same means ordinary brine Is separated into two valuable products—chlorine for bleach- Ins:, and sodium for soap manufacture.

Electricity Is now recognised as a most useful agent In. medicine, being employed In a great variety of ways. In some complaints it has a remarkable power of stimulating function, and It has been found that certain drugs put on a moistened electrode can be carried Into the body with the current, so as to benefit directly a diseased part. Va- rious* kinds of morbid growth are removed instantaneously and painlessly by electro-cautery, and the only successful method for getting rid of superfluous hair Is that of the electric needle, which Is gently Introduced Into the hatr-folllcile and kills the root. Now- adays operative Instruments for the nose, mouth and throat, whether drills, saws or what not, are controlled by electricity, while tiny Incandescent lamps, swallowed by the patient or otherwise manipulated, are utilised to Illuminate the cavities of bo*y and head so as to reveal conditions to the physician.

Street cars are not only run by electricity, but are Illuminated and heated by the same agency. The heaters used for this purpose require no attention, regulate the temperaturee exactly as It may be wanted, and, when used on railway trains, does not endanger the safety of passengers. One of the latest Im- provements Is to provide each berth In a sleeplnr car with an Incandescent light, so that one. may read. If slumber comes not. Similarly, incandescent lights are now provided for rarriasre* and they B*-e now even cnmlne* In use for cabs. The emperor nf Germany has his closed carrins-es lighted in this way. and. In addition, the harnesses of his horses are covered with small glow-

lights, of different colors, so as to produce a very beautiful effect.

The twentieth century will see electricity Introduced. In the kitchen in place of coal and wood. In order that this may be accomplished it is only necessary that the fluid should be made a little cheaper, Inasmuch as it serves much better for all culinary purposes. The electric oven bakes Ideally, and meats prepared In It do not require hasting or watching, while broiling and frying may be done in a superior style on the electric range. The electric chafing dish Is attachable at a moment's notice to an ordinary light wire; the current is turned on and Immediately the oysters begin to stew or the eggs to frlssle. In the electric kitchen of the near future there will be no coal, no ashes and no smoke; there will be no fuel and not even a battery, inasmuch as the requisite current will be furnished from outside as gas Is now. The sad-irons used on Tuesdays for the family linen will be heated by electricity, and will be kept thus at a constant temperature, so that they will never scorch things and will not require re- heating or changing. Already we have electric curling tongs, which, being hitched to a wire are warranted not to llnge a hair.—N. T. Sun.

In Bath, Me., early the other morning a vendor of tinware pounded on the door of a house where a night officer had Just retired for his day's sleep. The officer didn't like being aroused in that manner, and finding that the pedler had no license, he promptly arrested him. His fine was $10 and costs, and the officer received half. It was a case where the pedler parted with more tin than he intended to.

RECIPE FOR PUFF PASTE.-Half a pound or one cupful of butter, half a pound or two cupfuta of flour, half a tcaiipoonful of salt, quarter to half cupful of ice water. Put the butter In a bowl of ice water and work It with the handa until it becomce flexible, then place It In a clean napkin and knead It a little to free It from moisture. Pat it Into a flat, square cake and place on the ice until ready to use. Sift the flour and suit together on a board or marble slab, mske'a well in the center and pour In a part of the ice water. Work the Sour and use enough water to make a smooth paste. The ex- act amount of water cannot be given, since at times flour absorbs more than at others. Gather In all the crumbs and work the paste as you would bread dough, until It becomes .smooth. Roll In a napkin and place It on the Ice for 15 minutes, that It may become thoroughly cold. Sprinkle the Blab lightly with flour, roll the cold paste Into a square piers, place the cold butter In the center and fold the paste over it, first from the side* and then the ends, keeping the shape square and folding so the butter la completely Incased and cannot escape through the folds when rolled. This must be guarded against at all time*. Turn folded side down and, with rolling pin, roll it away from you into a long, narrow strip, keeping It as even aa possible. Fold it over, making three even layers of paste— this Is called "giving It a turn"—then roll the folded strip again and turn as before. This must be repeated until It has had six turns, which li as much aa It needs to give It its greatest lightness. After each turn, If it shows sign* of softening, otherwise after each two turns, wrap tlif paste in a napkin and place in s pan, which ihould be between two other pans containing cracked Ice, and let remain there 20 or 80 minutes. The rolling Is made easier by lightly pounding n well aa rolling the paste. After each folding press the edges gently together to shut In the sir and turn the paste so as to roll In different directions. The paste should slip on the •lab. If It seems to stick to the slab, it must be placed on the ice again for 20 or 30 minutes. When it has had alx turn*, cut it into desired form* snd again place It on the ice for 30 minute* before putting into the oven. Thf baking of the paste is as Important "u the rolling. The oven must be very hot, with greatest heat at bottom so the paste may rise before it begin* to brown. Therefore put It on the bottom of oven and lay a paper on the shelf for a few moments.

- <Soo6 Cookery • §

FIG OR DATE FROSTING. These frosting* are excellent to use

upon any kind of cake, but as they are rather rich in themselves, they seem better suited for light, white cake. If figs are preferred, they should te chopped fine; If dates, the stones and as much aa possible of the white lining* should be removed, and then they should be chopped line. For a gocd-slxed loaf of cake, baked In two layers, use a scant quarter of a pound of either thechopped dates or flgs, put into a double boiler or saucepan with a very little boiling water—Just enough to make the mass pliable. Let them stand and heat while the syrup is boiling. For this two cups of fine granulated sugar an-d half a cup of boiling water Is required. Boll without stirring till the syrup taken upon the spoon or skewer will "thread." Do not allow it to boll too hard at first. When the sugar is thoroughly melted, move the saucepan to a hotter part of the stove so that it may boll more vigorous- ly. Have ready the whites of two eggs beaten dry; now, to them add the flg or date paste and pour the bolting syrup In a fine stream over the two, beating all the time. Beat occasionally while cooking, and when thoroughly cold add one teaspoonful of lemon extract, and It Is ready for ure. These frostingsmay be a trifle sticky the day they are made, especially if the syrup is not boiled very long, but the stickiness disappears by the second day, even if kept In a stone iar.

PRUNE JELL. Stew slowly two pour.<ds of prunes 1c

sufficient water to well cover them till soft and well done, then pour into a colander to cool, returning the liquid to -the kettle, into the liquid put one and one-half coffee cups of Bugar, and one package of gelatine soaked for half an hour in a little cold water. While this Is simmering, stone the prunes, return them to the kettle, simmer ten minutes longer, and then pour Into wet moulds. Serve with cream whipped or plain; keep the prunes as nearly whole as possible. If whipped cream Is used sweeten, and flavor with vanilla.

VIRGINIA FRIKD CHICKEN. Dloe and fry one-half pound of salt

pork until it In well rendered. Cut up a young chicken, soak for half an hour In salt and waler, wipe dry, season with pepper, roll in four, and fry in the hot fat until each piece is of a rich brown color. Take up and set aside In a warm- ing closet. Pour into the gravy one cup of milk—half cream Is better; thicken with a spoonful of flour, and add a spoonful of butter, and chopped parsley; boll up and pour over the hot chicken, or, if preferred, serve without the cream gravy, with hunches of fried parsley. Plain boiled rice should accompany this.

CREAM OF CARROT SOUP. Make two quarts of white broth, using

an old fowl. Pare twelve carrots and slice fine the outer red parts, rejecting the hard Inner portions; put Into a sauce pan with two large tablespoonfuli of butter, a pint of water, salt, pepper anfr a pinch of sugar; cover and simmer for an hour, add a pound of white bread crumbs which have been soaked in cold water and been squeezed dry, then the broth, and Blmmer slowly another hour, rub through a sieve, heat without boiling, add a pint of hot cream and a tablespoonful of butter* Serve with fried bread, diced.

FRIED OYSTERS. Use for frying the largest and best

oystera. Take them from the liquor, lay them In rows upon a clean cloth and press another lightly upon them to ab- sorb the moisture; have ready some beaten egg and some cracker dust. Heat enough butter in the pan to cover the* oystera; dip each one in the egg first then Into the cracker dust, rolling it over that It may be completely covered. Drop them Into the frying pan, and fry quickly to a light brown. Do not let them remain In the pan an Instant after they are done. Serve dry, on a hot dish.

BAKED BEETS. One of the most satisfactory ways to

cook beets la to bake them; when boiled even If their thin jackets are left on, a great deal of the best part of the beet is lost. It will, of course, take a little longer to bake than to boll them, but this Is no objection: allow from fifteen to twenty minutes more for baking; slice them, and serve same as though boiled. One nice way to serve them is to chop them fine. After they are cooked season with pepper, salt and butter.

HINTS FOR CARVING. A thing that strikes a visitor In many

A household unfavorably Is the fact that the roast, be It Joint or bird, comes on to the table carved (cut up would be a better term) instead of being carved by the head of the house when all are seated at the table.

"Carving li an art!" you exclaim. Very well, then.practice the art till you have mastered It. It will not take a life time to learn the anatomy of a turkey or the general formation of a roast of beef. Practice and a few hints ought to make you a reasonable carver In a few weeks and enable you to'serve your Christmas dinner aa It should be done, In this respect.

First and an essential thing to carving Is a good knife, fork and steel. No blade of an inferior quality should be accepted even as a gift. Qet the best and keep it sharp. The steel will aid you In this and Its use should be studied to get the best results. Now there are many different ways of cutting up a roast but In fact but a few correct ways, generally speaking but one. This correct method Is the one you should aim to master and I will try and point out In general terms what I consider It to be.

As a first lesBon we choose turkey as a subject and assume that It is before you on the dining; table. Your seat to be best adapted to the work before you should be a little higher than the ordinary chair as it Is not good form to stand when carving and in a low seat you are at a disadvantage. Carving depends upon skill and not upon strength So the conditions should be of the best.

Place the dish so the head of the turkey is fartherest from you and begin the attack by sticking your fork Into the wing and drawing it back toward the leg, pass your knife underneath and you will easily remove It at the Joint. Next slip your knife between the leg and the body, to cut through the joint and with the fork turn the leg back and the Joint will give way. Separate the drumstick from the second Joint as it is often dried In cooking and not desirable while the second Joint is esteemed by many as the choice cut of the turkey.

The wing and leg from one side being removed you cut slices from the breast securing the white meat BO much •■■ \ teemed by many. Turn the turkey over and repeat the operation on the other side and then enter your knife into the breast over the lucky bone and loosen It lifting it with your fork, cut off the neck and side strips of meat and youhaveleft before you the skeleton of a bird which of course you will put aside to serve later as an aid in the preparation of soup stock for a later meal. These rules In general apply to the carving of all fowl and if followed will enable you In a short time to carve with neatness and dls-* patch.

In carylng a leg of pork, mutton or ham begin across the middle cutting the slices qt|ite down to the bone. The ham especially should be cut thin as Its flavor is not so marked when cut thick.

Rib or sirloin beef should also be cut thin. It la a rule never to serve the first or outside slice unless your guest request a cut of that kind. In fact tins applies to all kinds of roasts. All mea's should be carved across the grain Is the general rule for carving.

Game birds like woodcock, quail and small grouse arc simply split down the back giving each person one-half a bird with a-falr proportion of the stuf- fing.

In carving steaks of all kinds be careful and never serve any bone to your guests. This It Is your duty as carver to remove, leaving It on the platter.

Practice Is what will be needed to make you proficient In all the essentials of carving. The head of a family should not neglect this part of his duty and he will not if he regards the favor of those who share his hospitality.

FRIDAY, OCTOBER 6, 1899.

The Punehard Case.

Not even the excitement of the wannest political content tlmt the town lias ever known lias been enough to overshadow the deep interest that the conniiunity has hail for the pitst week in tlie Punehard hazing affair, and the manner in which the' authorities there have handled it.

In another column we present a correspondent's views n|xm the ease; a communication that seems to be a, most excellent and most temperate summing up of it. It deals with known facts, and presents the story of die affair im- partially and clearly. The conclusion that is reached in the communication seems to be the almost miiverei.Tconclu- sion of the citizens of the town, that the " punishment does not in the least fit the crime."

Vie commented upon the affair in this column last week, dealing liartieu- larly with the bearing that the case has ui>on the whole question of Punehard management. Vital as this question is to every citisen, it is probably unwise to push consideration of it'at this tin'ie when there is a particular case to be disposed of.

There seems to be no question but that there was a good deal of undue haste shown in the consideration of this matter. In a measure this haste was excusable, for the whole town was very much exercised, and from all sides there were calls for investigation and punishment. But there was something due to the boys who were to be punished,'in making the investigation. The authorities were judges, not prosecutors. Their duty was not al«jie to the one injured youth, but it was'to the entire school, and when it U made clear that the teachers have long known of such doings in the school, that flvo boys were manly enough to do everything in their power to aid the injured bay. that no effort to find, out a half dozen other equally guilty boys was made,? when these and other factsare known, it is no wonder that there should at once arise an indignant protest from all over towu.

We believe that a very sejripus. niit* take has been made in.dealing with the case, but not a mistake that is incapable of correction. The trustees of Pun- ehard as a body, are men of honor and integrity ; if they have'acted upon in- sufficient information, and hasty impulse induced by the clamor of the public " to do something," they are meu enough to say so.

We are confident that they may be safely trusted to reopen the ease and give the boys who have already beeri severely punished, an opportunity to prove that there were many mitigating circumstances which led up-to the unfortunate affair, and that there" are many reasons why a deprivation of their schooling is not a proper punishment for trfetr misdemeanor.

The Caucus.

A POLITICAL UPRISING Nearly 300 Votere Take JPart

Adjourned Caucus.

Andover's voting population turned out In force last Wednesday evening to attend the adjourned Kepifblican caucus and the Town hall was crowded with fit i/.fiis who desired to register their opinions as to the right^r wrongs of the question involved, or drawn thither by personal friendship for either candidate.

The business of the caucus was to choose delegates to attend the representative district convention but the direct issue in question was whether the voters should this year wrest the representation away from North Ando- ver where it should go by a precedent of over twenty-five years standing, or vote for an Andover man.

Chairman George H. Poor called the caucus to order at s o'clock, with George A. Higgins, as secretary. Abraham Mar- land, Arthur Bliss and Charles Greene acted as checkers. The polls were opened at 8.05 o'clock after Judge Poor cautioned any but Republicans of the danger they ran in voting In the cau- cuses.

The polls were kept open an hour and ten minutes, closing at 9.16 o'clock. During the voting the Republican town committee challenged Michael Sullivan, John Collins, Jas. W. Clinton and Frank Williamson, to whom was administered the caucus oath.

Messrs. Peter I). Smith, John K. Smith and Barnett Rogers were appointed M counters. The result of the vote as announced at 11.40 o'clock, showed the election of delegates favorable to a North Andover man over* delegates favorable to William Odlin by 54 votes.

Following is the ballot in detail: Total number of votes cast 4tH) Necessary for a choice 24«( relegates favorable to a No. An-

dover man 212 Delegates favorable to Win. Odlin 218

The delegates pledged to nominate a citizen of North Andover elected are as follows: Peter I). Smith, J. W. Berry, "W. IS. .It'iikius, (>. P. Chase, Barnett Rog- ers, John L. Smith, George H. Poor, E. J. Rowe, Alexander Lamont, John N. Cole, William Shaw, C. II. Shattuck, F. S. Boutwell, Joseph A. Smart.

Mr. and Mrs. Joseph F. Cole Surprised on their 33th

Anniversary.

The residence of Mr. and Mrs. Joseph F. Cole on Elm Street, was the scene of a very pleasant ami well-timed surprise party last Saturday evening, when about seventy-five of their relatives and most intimate friends united to pay them au unexpected call. Saturday evening was the time chosen for the affair as It was the 20th anniversary of Mr. and Mrs. Cole's marriage which was thus to be delightfully celebrated.

Many and beautiful were the gifts of silver, china and glass ware received by the surprised parties from their numerous friends, making a handsome display as they were opened and placed for inspection in the dining-room. \

The evening hours slipped quickly away in the enjoyment of cards, social Intercourse and dther forms of merry waking, so that it was not until a late hour that the last guests took their de- parture. During the evening light refreshments were served after wjiich the host brought out cigars, and the men folk who cared to, indulged in the luxury of a smoke."

Guests were present from Worcester, Bradford, Haverhill, Lawrence, Salem, North Andover, Orono, Me. and Salem, N. II. Altogether it was an occasion that will be long remembered by those who participated in it.

Suspended Till April.

The political light is over, and' hot. partiutns may now very properly cool off.

The caucus on Wednesday night w.w the largest and most exciting ever held in town. 'It brought out many men who had piMliably never before attended a cnucus, and *l.ook up the latent love of fair play a,s it has not been shaken before for many a day. If the caucus hud been about seventy-five voters smaller, it would have been a splendid tribute to the republican party in Ami- over, but those seventy-five voters, uem- oerats, made just .so much of a blot.

Tin* result was a defeat ol personal ambition by a love of fair play; it was nothing else. There may have been some personal feeling in the voting and preferences shown, hut with most of the voters the Issue was that of honorable den ling.

While it set-ins almost unjust to the good name ami fair record of- Andover to Muggeri the pMhility of any result, where such an issue was to !»»' decided other than on the side of right and justice, that another result was possible is shown by the closeness of the vote.

There are many tiling^ in connection with last Wednesday's caucus over which the citizens'of Andover may con- gratulate themselves, and not the least Is the personnel of the gathering. It was not a machine caucus, it was not the plaything of n IWHS, it was the quiet, earnest, positive expression of a gathering of Intelligent men bound to have the right thing, the fair thing done.

Good for Andover. Bitter as the disappointment may l>e to the defeated candidate, he will live to see the .day when he will see his mistake in putting a selfish end above a principle. The town certainly spoke rightly, and there will IK- few republicans who will .not think so when their sober second thought is given a fair» hance to assert itself.

The culmination of the hazing affair at .Punehard as far as the achool is con- cerned, came Monday morning when five young men, from among those who participated and who had confessed ty*b*inx implicated, were suspended from the school until next April. Kev. Frederic Palmer, as chairman of the board of trustees, severely lectured the young men publicly at the opening of the rooming session and then seut them home until the opening of the spring term.

There is no necessity for reviewing the circumstances of the affair which almost everybody in Audover is indignant) over, but it will be remembered that the victim was Frank Halstead, of Ballardvale, a first year's man at P. F. S. He has not yet been pronounced out of danger by his physician who has regarded the case as very seriou%

As yet nothing has been done to investigate the caseH of six or eight others who were assisting in the scrape but wlm have denied any participation therein.

Dewey Day at Montpelier.

The great Admiral has sanctioned Oct- ober 12th for the big celebration in his honor at Montpelier, and it goes without saying that every road leads to the Ver- mont Capitol City on that day.

The Boston <S Maine Railroad ami its connecting lines is equal to the demands of time and has arranged for a popular price do Montpelier and return from stations north of Springfield, Mass., and Concord, X. II., also from Boston, Lowell Lawrence, Nashua and Manchester, N, II., the White Mountain Division, the Claremonl Branch, ami in find from nearly every station in New Hampshire and Vermont.

Everyone knows that Vermont and Montpelier are to make ihe, reception to the "Hero of Manila Bay"* a rouser, and all who can will no doubt take in the big time.

School Notes.

\ change was made In the grading of flie Indian Ridge school this week. For- merly pupils in the seventh and eighth grades from Abbot Village were obliged to go to the Stowe school, necessitating a rather long walk. 'Now a seventh and eighth grade have been started at Indian Ridge school so that the Abbott Village pupils can be accommodated.

Superintendent Johnson and the grade teachers of the John Dove school visited schools in Nomerville last Monday.

IS THE PUNISHMENT WISE? A Correspondent Believes Punehard Cat e

•Should te Re-opened by Trust*ea.

To th* Editor: Will you permit me to bring before

-the public a few facts in the Punehard case, that have not been made clear heretofore t

I deeply regret the unfortunate affair of September 2tt, and believe that all such occurrences should be made impossible In the future, and to this end the boys should receive some suitable punishment;

I realize that the indignation at first was very great and that this was founded in many cases upon rumors that have since proved to be untrue.

The freshman class outnumbered the upper classmen. They had made themselves obnoxious by the use of sling shots, by pushing and by the many ways in which boys meet and test each other's endurance and pluck. The upper classmen decided to take one as an example and to put his head under the faucet. In this they had no idea that they were doing anything serious. Many of them had been through it themselves and had seen it done to others so often that anything criminal or dangerous in its performance seemed incredible. For this they selected one of the largest in his class and taller than most of them. He had also taken his part in the previous rivalry of the classes. Unfortunately his physical condition made any great exertion or nervous strain dangerous. But boys of sixteen do not recognize that a fellow is pale or that he has trouble with his heart. They were as much shocked as the community and as deeply regretted their action.

The suspension until Easter will make a serious break in their education, and in many cases in the moral character of the boys. '' There are certain studies that can not be carried on without a labora- tory, or without the guidance of a teacher. The average boy of the age of these boys is wholly incapable of studying by himself, for the reason that he does not know how to study. Far more important than the facts to he learned, is the met hod of how* to use the mind. To withdraw them from, the influence of the teacher for so long a time Is sure to be detrimental to their mental training and to their standard of good citizenship.

In some cases the benefit to the boy is offset by his bad influence on the rest of the school. I understand •however that the five who confessed thai they were implicated, have no such bad record.

While realising the difficulty of the trustees' position, it is limped that they will allow the boys to return to their studies. . ■ 1 n

As Sir exaftiple'To""fl.e"ofhe? "sclioIaVs "QQ" \fat and as a punishment that they will remember, it is suggested that they-be made to.pay fha doctor'* bill and other expenses, to apologize In a suitable manner and to undergo other punishments, familiar to teachers.

I feel that In some such way, the object that we all have in view,1 namely to make the boys realize more keenly the difference between good and bad conduct, would be more nearly attained.

liistrict offlcer Hainnicnl of Haverhill, arrested A. H. Gardner of this place, on a caiiias Wednesday afternoon and took him to Lawrence.

Andover in Literature.

Messrs. Houghton, Miillin & Company have issued, a very handsome Author's catalogue of their publications, with brief biographical notes and much biblio- graphical information. There is also a historical preface giving some account uf the firm and explaining the purpose of the Catalogue.

It is interesting to observe how many of their authors were once students at Andover, or have been residents here. The number seems even larger when one reflects that these are only those And- over authors whose works are published by a single house, one which maintains the highest ideals and whose specialty is standard literature rather than ephe- meral publications. A complete And- over list, including Warren F. Draper and all the other publisher^ of the country who could furnish a similar list of Andover authors, wquld be a very long and very illustrious one, and the col- lected works might form an -appropriate alcove in the Cornell historical department of the Memorial Hail Library.

Some of the authors in the Hougbton & Mifllin list are represented by only a single b<mk, while others have published many volumes. , ~ Some of the, names are of the highest rank, 'Mrs. Stowe being acknowledged the foremost woman in American literature, and Mrs. Elizabeth Stuart Fhelps Ward is also of very great fame.

I. Of the Houghton and Mlfflin authors Rev. Dr. K. Winchester Donald was born here and received his preparatory education In the Punchard School, and Mrs. Harriet Beecher Stowe resided here for twelve years.

II. The following graduated at Phil- lips Academy, Andover:—John Albee, William Barrows, Samuel Arthur Bent, George Rice Carpenter, Franklin Carter, Joseph Cook, John Henry Denlson, Samuel Richard Fuller, Arthur Sber- burne Hardy, William T. Harris, Oliver Wendell Holmes, Francis Howe John- son, Alexander McKenzle, George H. Palmer, Lewis French Stearns, Frederic J. Stimson, Herbert, D, .Ward.,.

III. The following studied in Phillips Academy: — Edward' Payson Jackson, Klisha Mulford,

IV. The following studied in Abbot Academy: — Octave Thanet, Kate Douglas Wiggin, Lily Douga), Eli.za.beth Stuart Phelps.

i V. The following graduated at the Theological Seminary:— A. V. G. Allen, M. L, Gordon, George Harris, James M. Hoppin, W. DeWltt Hyde, George A. Jackson, William De Loss Love, Jr., James O. Murray, Joseph Henry Thayer, William Jewett Tucker, William Burnet Wright, J. Lewis piman.

VI. The following studied in the Theological Seminary: William Law- rence, Moses Colt Tyler, Leverett W. Spring.

Seven in the : second group belong in the fourth or lift h, and Dr. M n I ford belongs in the fifth as well as in the third;

A more careful reading of the CAta- logue would doubtless add other names. A complete bibliography of Andover authors is a work greatly to be desired. It should include also the names of authors whose works have been printed and published here,' though they were not Andover residents'Or students.

:. CRICKET SEASON ENDED. ; Work of tbe Local Team In Batting

Bowling and Fielding.

The cricketing season of 1NU9 came to an end last Saturday, in a game with Lynn, and to da.v we give our readers a sketch of the season's work. The record of the club 'is hardly as brilliant as a year ago, when only one defeat was sustained/ yet everything considered, the results are fairly satisfactory. Andover has rarely put in the field her strongest eleven, Bruce, Haddon, Saunders and Angus leaving beeu absent on several occasions.1

A. B. Saunders has played in far fewer games this season than for some years and his absence has been felt in Import- ant games. H. G. Saunders who did good work with the bat and ball, left i he club in the middle of the season, and cast In his lot with the Merrimacks, and h is service* have also been missed. How- ever, in spite, of fewer games won, the club lias been strengthened by the addition of several young players who promise well for next season. This Is an encouraging sign and with proper coaching they will become valuable to the club.

During the season 17 games have been played, of which 0 have been won and tt lost. Two were not played to a finish on account of umpires' decision. Of the victories two each have been gained from Everetts, .Methuens, Arllngtons and /ions, and one from Lynn. The defeats have been by Lawrence twice, Buntings, Mohairs, Lynns and Merrimacs one each. Of the wins, the most creditable have been from Lynns, Kveretts and Methuens (the Merrimack Valley Champion aspirants) and Aldingtons. In the second inning of the first Everett game, Andover retired them for II funs, a very creditable performance, due to the fine bowling of A. B. Saunders and Angus. Methuens again failed to win from the local team, while Lawrence as usual took both games.

*' BATTING. There ha* been quite a falling off in

batting in nearly every member of the team this f<6kf. A,' B. Saunders and Haddon 'have* dropped nearly half as compared with 18D8. Only two have materially < increased their averages, these being AV. S., Rhodes and H. G. Saunders. The former has played steadily all through the season and Is fourth In the list. There has been a decided "tali" to the'team this year which perhaps is accounted for by the number of young players being tried out. There have been several fine innings played by many of the batsmen and nearly all have on some occasion got into double figures.

FIELDING,

In the field Andover has not been as good as last season and more than one game has been lost through poor fielding. Not only have catches been missed, but many runs have been allowed through carelessness. MacDermitt has done well in the field and has twice taken three catches In a game. At point Mat- thew, a young player, has also fielded well. Haddon heads the list with 11 catches, Matthew, Khodes and Mac- Dermitt have taken 8 each, Hobb, Coutts, McCarthy and II. G. Saunders 5 each, Sullivan, 1'oland, and A. B. Saunders, 2 each, rtitchie, J. Kydd and O'Connell 1 each. Haddon has stumped one and HitChie one, the latter keeping wickets in the last Lynn game and surprising evrrvoue by his good work.

Andover at the "Council.1

Apdover has reason to be proud of the notable and heuosable part performed by her representatives in the great In- ternational Congregational Council, whose meetings have just cjosed at Tre- mohit Temple] rVof / HVrhVs paper on "Fundamental PrfheJphis in Theology." read on Thursday, Sept. 21st, was received with great favor, being warmly applauded throughout. His first, sentence was; "I ayi very glad that my last act as a teacher of theology Is to represent Andover Theological Seminary in this International Council." Soon after closing his address he left to begin his duties as president of Amherst College, which opened that day. The Amherst Ileconl describes the ovation given him on his arrival in town, the whole college, faculty and students, headed by the venerable Dr. Hitchcock, meeting him at the station and escorting him to his residence, on the steps of which he made an informal but effective address.

Oii Wednesday of last week, Professor Moore replied to severe strictures made on the theological seminaries by President Hyde of Bowdoin, In a speech of remarkable power and brilliancy. It was referred to by all—of every shade of theological belief—as complete and ad- mirable defence of the Seminaries. He suggested that it was a very singular fact, that, if the seminaries were, as claimed, so far behind the colleges, that Andover Seminary, for instance, should have been such a favorite hunting ground for college presidents, three of the present family having declined invitations to college presidencies, |n addition to the election of Professors Tucker and Harris to the same office !

P, A. received a defeat the first ».f the season, at the hands of Williams College last Friday afternoon after a plucky content lasting twenty-five minutes. The heavier collegiates outclassed Andover in team play and had little difficulty tn pushing Phillips down the field In the first half. In the second half, however. Williams made some changes in the line- men and Andover was able to hold her opponents fairly well.

Simmons, an old Andover man, with the assistance of < had well, also a graduate of the Academy, played around Bloomef at will, putting him out of nearly every play. Simmons made long gains from his position at left tackle, and was credited with both of Williams' touchdowns.

Chad well failed on both goals. In the trtst half, a touchback follow ing a high pass from Howe to Stoddard, put And-. over's goal out of danger for the time' being, but short repeated gains through both of P. As*, tackles, soon gave Wil- liams their first touchdown and soon after, the second by similar tactics. In the second half neither side scored and the game ended with the ball in Wil- liams' possession near the centre of the field. Captain Davis injured his shoulder just before the close of the half, and Weekes was substituted. For Williams, Draper and Chadwell played best football, and Brown, Reinhardt and Davis did well for Andover.

P. A. 22; Somervllle High 6.

A dull, slow and one-sided game of foot-ball was played by Andover against the High School team Of Somervllle last Wednesday afternoon, In which the home team had no difficulty in making gains at will through their opponent's line, which was much lighter.

Lavlne of Andover distinguished himself by hi* fierce line plunges and runs' after catching punts. He made all four of Andoverfs touchdowns from two of which Bloomer kicked goals.

Noinerville'.s score was made an fc fluke. Reinhardt attempted to pnnt but the kick was blocked by Klmball. The latter fell on tbe ball but fumbled when tackled by Collins. Harts of Somervllle secured the pigskin and made the, touchdown, while all i thin time Reinhardt made no attempt either to gat IhsTiall or tackle the runner.

Captain, Ball of Somervllle went into the game near the end of the second half but was Injured in the first play so. that he'had to be carried from the field.

RESULT OF INQUESTS.

Judge Stone has reported his finding In the Inquests held upon the death of Owen Flynn In North Andover and Benjamin T. LeFabour in South Law- rence. They are as follows:

"Mr. Flynn was a very old man and very infirm, walking with great difficulty. On the 13th day of July, 1899, his body was found floating In a small itream a few hundred yards east of the Davis' & Furber machine works. The body was badly decomposed but showed signs of injuries upon the face and head He was laat seen on the evening of the 10th day or July, walking beside the the track uf the Boston & Malpe railroad. He was seen at this point after the last train had passed over said railroad upon said day. Hehhad saj I to an officer in North Andover about ten days prior to that time that he was discouraged and intended to, commiL suicide. He also had a talk "with another officer of that town upon the afternoon of the 10th,of July, in which he said that he intendei to commit suicide He was nut seen by any person after he was seen walking as above Be- scrihel until his body was found three days afterwards In the water of this stream. I am unable to state with accuracy what was the cause of his death He might have fallen from a culvert whlih crossed the stream above where his body was found, or he might Inten- tionally have thrown himself into this stream. I am inclined to believe that ire committed suicide. There Is absolutely no evidence of any foul play connected with his death. His injuries as i.bnve described might easily have been inflicted If he had thrown himself or scclaentally fallen Into the stream."

"Benjamin T. LeFabour was a fire- man employed by the Boston & Maine railroad upon one Of the shifting en- gines at Lawrence, (in the evening of August 7th about 7 o'clock he completed his duties for the day and went with his engine to the round house, where It was put up; he then started to walk between the tracks toward the passenger station at .North Lawrence, As he was pasting along a shifting engine with five cars attached passed mm; as the second car from the rear of said train came up to him he caught hold of the handle un the side of the ear and swung himself up upon the *tep of the car, holding on to the handle and standing upon the step , with his body out at arm's length. He was looking down and not aheai; while riding in this position he was knocked off from his hold upon the ear and Instantly kill*- i. It seems from the testimony taken at the inquest that it is necessary for the convenience of the Boston & Maine railroad to maintain this switch at this point. LeFabour had no right to Jump upon the car In the manner In which he did, and I find that his death was the result of his own careless act. I find that the Boston A Maine railroad is in no wise to blame for his death."

CECIL RHODES' IDEA.

I In connection with the foundation of Cecil Rhodes' colossal wealth there is a story 'told by an old fellow miner, himself lately a colonial Minister of Finance, which illustrates at least one trait In the character of 'the great South African financier and politician. " During the early days of the Kim- berley diggings It was the custom when a miner found a particularly fine gem to Invite those about him to the ceremony of "wetting the stone," 1. e.— drinking champagne at the finder's expense, with the Idea that It would bring good luck In, the discovery of another treasure. In the adjoining claim to that first taken up by Mr. Rhodes, in the very centre of the crater holding the precious blue dirt, this In- vitation had upon a certain occasion gone forth, and the men were going' their way up to the hotel when it was noticed that Rhodes stood aloof.

"Hullo! Come on Rhodes!" shouted the lucky finder of the gem. "Aren't you coming up to 'wet the stone' for good luck?" To which, however, Cecil Rhodes only shook his head.

"I say, come on, there's a good fellow," persisted his neighbor.

"What are you going to do?" aEked Rhodes, looking up.

"Wet the stone with champagne, of course." V

"Well," said the future magnate, de- cisively, "I did not come out here to drink champagne, but to make money,'*, and then went on with his work. t

That Mr. Rhodes has succeeded in that purpose, probably beyond all flights of his Imagination, is now a matter of history.

HIS TESTIMONY.

PERSONALITY.

I do. What is your opinion of his veracity? I do not like to answer thnt question. But you must. Well, then he has he^n an auctioneer

He—Yes. She—And you told him that little fib

about the large salary? He—Yes. She—I'm so glad. He—Well. I'm not. He borrowed $u

During the winter of 1S97, Mr. James Heed, one of the leading citizens and merchants of (lay, (lay Co., \V. Va., ■truck bis leg against a cake of ice in s tch a manner as to bruise it severely. It became very much swollen and pained him so badly that he could not walk without the aid of crutches. He was treated by physicians, also used several kinds of liniment and two and a half gallons of whisky in bathing if, but nothing gave any relief nnlil he began using Chamberlain's Pain Halm. This brought almost a complete mire in a weeks time and he believes that had he not used this remedy ltis leg would have had (o be amputated. Pain Halm is un- equaled for sprains, bruises and rheumatism. For sale by Arthur Bliss, An- dover, C. 11. Shut tuck, Ballardvale.

MILLIONS GIVEN AWAY.

S. S. S. is a Great Blessing to Jf Old People. It Gives Them

At the special meeting of the school committee held in the high school building last evening, all the members, with exception of Committeeman John P. Kane, were present. The meeting was called to settle upon a teacher of music In the lower grades of the.public schools but. at the close of the session the committee had made practically no head- way, merely becoming slightly familiar wtth the dissentlous condition existing among Messrs. Barker, Mahoney and H>ndry who comprised the sub-committee on music.

On the lOfh of December, lsnT, Rev. S. \. Donahoe, pastor M. K. Church, South,

I Pt. Pleasant, W. Va., contracted a severe cold which was attended from the beginning by violent coughing. He says: "After resorting to a number of so-called 'specifics' usually kept in the house, lo no purpose. 1 purchased a bottle of Chamerlain's Cough Remedy, which acted like a ehann. 1 nios.1 cheerfully recommend H to the public."

rieness and ill health, and nearly all of the sickness among

older people can he avoided. Most elderly people are very susceptible to illness, but it is wholly unnecessary. By keep-

Votlf Dlnnri onH I Ifo ing their blood pure they can fortify themselves ndW DIUUU dllll LIIDI so as to escape three fourths of the ailments

from which they suffer so generally. 8. 8. S. is the remedy which will keep their systems young, by purifying the blood,

thoroughly removing all waste accumulations, and impart- ing new strength and life to the whole body. It increases the appetite, builds up the energies, and scuds new life- giving blood throughout the entire system

Mrs. Sarah Pike. 477 Broadway, South Boston, writes: "I am seventy years old, and had not enjoyed good health for twenty years. I was sick in different ways, and in addition, had Eczema terribly on one of my legs. The doctor said that on account of my age, I would never be well again. 1 took a dozen bottles of S. S. S. and it cured me completely, and I am happy to say that I feel as well as I ever did in my life."

J W. Loving, of Colquitt, Ga., says: "For eighteen years I suffered tortures from a fiery eruption on my Bkin. I tried almost every known remedy, but they failed one by one, and I was told that my age, which is sixty six, was against me, and that I could neêc hope to bo well again. I finally took S. 9. S., and it cleansed my blood thoroughly, and now I am in perfect health.''

S. S. 8. FOR THE BLOOD is the only remedy which can build up and strengthen old people, because it is the only one which is guaranteed free from potash, mercury, arsenio and other damaging minerals. It is made from root* and herbs, and has no chemicnls whatever in it. S S 8. cures the worst cases of Scrofula, Cancer. Eczema. Kheumatism, Tetter, Open Sores.

SNOW AT GLOUCESTER.

GLOUCESTER, Oct. 2—Slight snow flurries commencing: shortly before noon.and continuing at'intervals until nightfall were observed here today. Thlfe Is something out of the ordinary in *ftu> locality for this time of year.

GLOUCESTER, Oct. 8—The leading event in Masonic clrcleB here this year took place this evening, when Right Worshipful Frederick A. KImball, district deputy grand master, and suite, of the ninth Masonic district of Ipswich, made his annual vicltation to Tyrian lodge. There was a large number of craftsmen present to meet the distinguished visitors. The visitors from out of town were from Salem, Ipswich, Newburyport, Amesbury, Manchester, Rockport and othax places.

MORNING HEADACIIK.

A general feeling of malaise in the morning, accompanied by more or lew* headache, is well known to most of us. The expression "I've .got a head on me this morning," well defines the symptoms which are almost invariably due to retention in the system of a small amount of the uric acid and allied pnxlucts formed during the hours of sleep and not properly excreted. It is the fore- runner of a gouty or rheumatic attack. Tartarlithine is just the remedy f'>r this condition. Two tablets in a goblat of water, not iced will clear the head, sttwrt up the action of the kidneys, and freshen one up wonderfully. The dose should be lnken before breakfast.

Th^t George O.Wickers has ceased serving JheJntereH^s of. the Davis and Furber JHachtne Cp\, is a matter of Bur- prtaVVafeneralnr, yet',1a. step which that gentleman has contemplated for some nine. tNot Only Is Ehr fact of his re- tirement a surprise,but ajso a cause of regrttfM those with whom dally duty has Drought him ln_contact for the past 38 years.

Mr. Wickers is a maa of wide experience In things mechanteal, and his skill In the line of woolen machinery construction has contributed much to the convenience and utility of manufacturing. His connection with Vie firm referred to, dates from the fall of '61. at which time the "brick gnop" so caleld, was nearlng completion, and when the late Geo. L. Davis was In quest of a pattern maker. He sought, advice of the late J. M. Rtone of Manchester, N. H„ who advised him tosecu,re the services of Mr. Wickers then of Boston. Mr. Davis sought Mr. Wiefcers, then employed by Blake of the latter olty, but the offeY was. declined. Later however, on learning thatMr.Stone had In the meantime become a partner In the firm, he accepted a subsequent offer and has remained in the continuous employ of the concern until the. time of his recent abdication. In pursuance of his work, Mr. Wickers was one of the first to become established li the 'new th p" Mr.Stone was recognlzedly by the me- chanical genius of the firm, and median ically speaking, the two were kindred spirits in all that pertainei to recon- struction, improvements and the application of advanced ideas to machinery manufactured by the concern, and in ■consequence Mr. Wickers has become well known among the manufacturers «f woolen goods throughout the country.

Soon after Mr. Wickers aflumed his position a new foundry suplanted the old one and the run of metal has In- creased from a single ton, so, that It was nothing unusual Jn the prosperous times, toma ke use of 13 Or 14 tons at n melting. Not long after the increase i f foundry facilities rameMess rs. Ken- nedy an 1 James Haynes of the Alger foundry In South Boston, n- enncern of w'de repute then encaged in the man- ffacture of war suplles and ordnance. The leading proprietors and the latter formen are now Mer-eosed. Mr. Wickers end Mr. Stone became acquainted In the Lawrence Machine shop, where the latter was a draughtsman and the former a pattern maker. For the past

| r.f) years,.Mr. Wickers has been a well known resldenf of Lawrence and with bis amiable wife dwells hnnnlly In the

i nulet and well ordered nelghbotho'-d o' { Bradford street.

I.ate last night came the regretful summons which separated Joseph H Lamere from his life companion. Mrs! Johanna (Flavin) Lamere, who for more than thirty-live years h.,s presided over the family affairs with motherly care and ins performed acts of neighborly kindness freely during her term of residence In the community.

Mrs Lamere, the second daughter of John and Katherlne Flavin, was born in Oranby, Canada. 63 years ag*> last April. She spent her early childhood In her native place and young woman- hood in St. Johnsbury., Vt. In the latter place, 40 years ago, she was married and after a residence of about four years she came to this town and occupied the William Chase place on Clar- endon and Water streets, which has been their continuous abode. Mrs. La- mire's last Illness continued about three weeks, during which time she has been confined to the bed. Death was probably due to the after effects of the grip, a severe attack of which she experi- enced at Christmas time. She bore her illness with remarkable patience an1 the en 1 came peacefully at 11.3a last.evening. In the immmellate family other than the husband there remain four children ail of whom are mar ricil and none of whom have drifted far f«im the roof tree. William of town.

THOUGH A FOHMKItU'Q ICT.

Major It. W. McClauglrfyJ wlio tently resigned the waxdenihip of the Jollet penitentiary to accept? a like position at Leaven worth, Kan., had one one champion on the Chicago police force who, up to his death, a few years ago, would light for him at any time. This police officer vu an ex-convict and Berved his sentence of one year for lrfr- ceny at Jollet during McClaughry's flrat administration as warden. Upon his release from prison the young man returned to Chicago, where he had many friend who were willing to give htm a helping hand. The offence for which he was sent to prison was done more in the spirit of a boyish prank than with any criminal.Intent, but he was in the company of" an ex-convict at the time, and but for that fact he might have escaped with a short Jail sentence.

Soon after his i# urn to Chicago he got a position in a wholesale house, and applied himself to the work with more than ordinary energy. He attended church regularly, something he did not do before going to prison, and his every act proveM him worthy of the confl- dehce placed In him by his friends.

Time went on and he made application for a position on the police force. According to the rules of the department no man who has ever been convicted of a felony can become a policeman, and In order to properly fill out the application he had to perjutfe himself. The signers of his application were men of prominence In ward politics, and he had no difficulty In securing his appointment. He was stationed at a down town crossing when Major McClaughry was appointed Chief of Police under Mayor Washburne in

One day the policeman was recognised by an ex-convlct. They had worked together In the same shop In prison, and the policeman had once whipped the other fellow for abusing a crippled convict. , The opportunity to get even with the blue coat for the chastisement given years before presented Itself and In les than an hour's a commanding officer was told of the policeman's imprisonment at Jollet.

Major McClaughry sent for the officer, and when the latter entered the chlers office, Ignorant of why he was called there, Major McClaughry Instant ly recognised him. The officer did not deny his Identity. He looked hlB chief squarely In the face and said:

"Chief. It Is true; I have been a convict in the Jollet penitentiary. I was sent there some years ago f.-ifc a crime for which the severest punishment ought not to have been more than 30 day in *&l\. I was a victim of circumstances, still I have never complained. I served eleven long months for my youthful folly, and It -is unnecessary for me to tell you my prison behavior. Friends induced me to go on the police force, and I have performed my duties faithfully as an officer of the law. I am married and the father of three children. It Is for my wife and little ones that I plead. Tou have the power to discharge me from the police force and perhaps send me back to Jollet for

committing perjury. I am an ex-convict; treat me as you think you should be treated yourself if our positions were reversed."

Tears were in the Major's eyes. He rose from his chair, and, grasping the policeman by the hand, said:

"Go back to your crossing, officer, and so long as you behave yourself you will need have no fear of losing your position while I am chief."

FOOTBALL Andover 10, Tufts o.

Contrary to general expectation, P. A. defeated the supposedly strong Tufts aggregation in a football game of 15 minute halves, by a score of 10 to 0, on the home campus last Saturday afternoon. This also while playingapartially substitute eleven against the visitors, as Captain Oavis, Hloomer, Matthews and Collins, members of last year's team, did j»pt play. When the Tufts team came on th* field they looked heavier and more powerful individually than the An- dover eleven and their chances for victory seemed correspondingly good.

Andover outplayed her opponents from the start, however, both offensively and defensively, and the final score of 10 to 0 was well earned. After Brown's remarkable run of So yards from the first kick off through a ploughed field of Tufts men, Stevens continued the good work of ground gaining by some fast end circling of the old time style, such as it did one's heart good to soe.

Levlne bucket) the line fiercely and it was not until Tuft's 2 1-2 yard line was

-reached that P. A's. progress could be stopped. The visitors got the ball on downs and commenced to smash through Andover's line for short but repeated gains until a fumble gave the hoftie eleven the ball. The ball then see-sawed back and forth, neither side scoring in the first half. .,.

In the second half. Tufts could not stop ftie around the end and tackle plays of Stevens and Cross, nor the plunges of Levine who ftuvle both touchdowns, the latter from the 10 yard line. Fliun played well at centre while Kafferty, acting captain, and Botchford were up to the mark on the end. Brown at quarter, is a hard consistent player and sure tackier. Stevens punted well and got down the field very fast after a kick as did also the centre, Minn for so large a man.

Tufts tried hard to score toward the end of the second half with the aid of an inconsistent official, but time was called with the ball on Andover's 25 yard line,

New Hampshire College 6, P. A. o.

Andover suffered her second defeat of the season on the grUliron in the hands of the beefy boys from New Hampshire State College, last Wednesday afternoon, in a contest abounding in fumbles ami poor judgment of punts. Andover played practically a secoud eleven as Captain Davis and Bloomer, tackles, Matthews end, Collins, Brown, Levine, backs, were on the sick list. With such fast men and sure tacklers as either Brown or Stevens playing back, Kun- lett of N\ H. State College, would not have made his long run which produced a touchdown on the next play.

Stevens was the only man back of the line who could gain for Andover, but there was hardly a time when he had the ball that he did not make his distance and many times he made two, three or five yards through the line with no assistance. He also punted extremely well and seems to be Andover's principal find for the back of the line positions this year.

New Hampshire College played a good game but should not have defeated An- dover.

Choir Boys 5; Merriwell Juniors 5

A close game of football was played by the Choir Boys of Christ Church and the Merriwell Juniors of Abbott Village Saturday, Oct. 7, resulting in a score of "> to 5. The latter team claims to have won the game by two touchdowns to one, since the game was stopped five minutes before time was up, with the ball on their opponents five yard line. The line-up:

Choir Boys: Jewelt ami Ix>ng, ends: Collins and" Sellars, tackles: Thomson and Dixon, guards: Lyle, centre; Wrij»- ley, quarter-back; Abbott and Moyni- han. half-backs; Seacole. (Captain.) full- back. Merriwell Juniors: Dick ami Dudley, ends; McMuHeii and HsddOB, tackles; Anderson and Poland, guards: Connors, centre; liitchie, quarter-back, Connelly andSoutar, half-backs: Mickey, (captain) full-back.

The Choir Boys of Christ Church would like to arrange football games with out of town teams composed of boys from ten to thirteen years of age. Address Mr. Batchelder, Christ church.

N'o. 876, Post-office Clerk and Carrier, Andover, Mass., Nov. 1. 18W.

The United States Civil Service Com- mission announces that a special exatni* nation will be held by its post-office board of examiners in this town and on the date named above, commencing at p a. in., for the positions of clerk and carrier in the post-office of this town.

Only citizens of the United States may be examined.

The examination will consist of spell- ing, arithmetic, letter-writing, penman- ship, copying from plain copy, geography of the United States, and reading addresses. The arithmetic will consist of tests in the fundamental principles, extending as far as common and decimal fractions and embracing problems.

The age limitations'for this-examination are as follows: Clerk, not less than 18 years; carrier, between 21 and 40 years. Applicants for carrier must weigh at least 125 pounds, must not be less than 5 feet 4 inches in height, and must file with their application a medical certi- ficate, on Form 119, showing them to be not under the required weight and height, and to possess the required physical qualifications

No application will be accepted for this examination unless tiled in complete form with the board at the post-office in the town name-1 above, before the hour of closing business on Oct. 2ti, 1890.

Applications should be filed promptly, in order that time may remain for correction if necessary.

This examination is open to all citizens of the United States who may <lesire to enter the service, and who comply with the requirements; all such persons are invited to apply, but attention is invited to the fact that it is the practice of the Post-Office Department in making appointments to the grades of clerk and carrier to give preference to those eligi- bles who are legal residents of the town and vicinity where the examination is held. Subject to this preference applicants will he examined, graded and cer- tified, with entire impartiality, and wholly without regard to any consideration save their ability as shown by the grade they attain in the examination.

For application blanks (Forms 101 and lilt), full instructions, specimen examination questions, and information relative to the duties and salaries of the different postttdns, apply to the secretary of the board of examiners at the postoffice in the town named above. Oct. 7; 18W>. n .

The largest issue of II AKPER'S WEEKLY ever published is the Dewey Memorial Number, ready Sept. 28th. Between its ornamental covers, printed iu colors, are tifty-six pages, devoted almost entirely to Admiral George Dewey anil the eventful incidents in Ids career. For interesting and authorative articles and tine drawings this Dewey number is perhaps unprecedented in the annals of illustrated periodicals. Rud- yard Kipling contributes a poem, his most striking work since his illness, ap- propriately entitled "Let Us Now Praise Famous Men." A history of the Dewey family and a sketch of the Admiral's life is contributed by the Hon. John Barrett, late United States Minister to Slam, an intimate friend of the Admiral, and closely associated with him for ten montlw at Manilla. Throughout this periooMr. "Barrett kept careful notes of everything of material interest, and con- sequently this article contains a mass of entirely new information upon these all- engrossing subjects. The number contains also an important article on tbe United States Navy, by Henry Loomis Nelson, and special articles on Dewey and the Manilla campaign, illustrated with many hitherto unpublished portraits and with superb drawings of naval scenes. It is a number that is not only worth reading but worth preserving. The issue of Oct. 7th will describe Admiral Dewey a reception in New York, and the succeeding number will be given over to the story of the contest for the America's cup.

.DISCOVERED BY A WOMAN.

Another great discovery has been made, and that too, by a woman-in this country. "Disease fastened its clutches upon her and for seven years she withstood its severest tests, but her vital organs were utiderminded anil death seemed imminent. >'or three months she con-lied Incessantly, and could not sleep. She finally discovered a way to recovery, by purchasing of us a bottle of Dr. King's New Discover}* for Consump- tion, and, was so much relieved on taking the tirst dose, that she slept all night; and with two bottles, has been absolutely cured. Her name is Mrs. Lather Lots." Thus writes W. C. Hamnick & Co., of Shelby, N. O. Trial bottles free at Arthur Bliss' Drug Store.

Regular size 50c. and $1.00. Every bottle guaranteed.

UNCOMMUNICATIVE HEROES.

The really brave man's story about his own deeds Is always modest. Not Infrequently he Is unable to give any account of them which is satisfactory to his hearers. The reporters who "In- terviewed" soldiers wounded on San Juan Hill had a hard time in getting "stories" from them. One soldier said:

"There Isn't a thing to tell. I only went up there, with a lot of other chumps, and got shot. I didn't even have sense enough to know It when I was shot."

Not long ago a French chroniqueur— Montmirail. of the Paris Gaulols—en- countered in a little village of the south of France a gardener who wore pinned on his clean Sunday blouse tbe ribbon of the Legion of Honor. Naturally, the newspaper man desired to know- how he got It. The gardener who, like many of his trade, seemed to T>e a silent man, was averse to meeting an old and wearisome demand, but Anally he began:

"Oh. I don't know how I did get it. I was at Bazeilles with the rest of the battery. All the officers were kilted: then down went all the non-commis- sioned officers. Bang! bang! bang! By and by all the solders were down but me. I had fired the last shot, and uiatu rally was doing what I could to stand off the Bavarians.

"Well, a general came, and says he: "Where's your officers?*

" 'AH down,' says L " 'Where's your gunners?* says he. " 'All down bnt me,' says I. * " 'And you've been fighting here all

alone?' says he. " 'I couldn't let *em come and get the

guns, could I?' I says. And then he up and put this ribbon on me. probably because there was nobody else there to put it oh."

The new method of producing reliefs by' &*> aid of photography has been explained by M. Lemae before the Soclete Francaise de Photographle. The model, he says, which It Is not necessary to powder or treat specially. Is placed In front of a black background, presenting the profile to the camera. Two plates are successively taken, avoiding all displacement of the model between the two exposures; for these the source of light having as small dimen- sions as possible, a cartridge of powdered magnesium being preferable— this to be maintained in a plane per- pendicular to the axis of the objective and slightly nearer the latter than ft Is to the model. During one of the poses, the model Is lighted about three-quarters In front and, for the second, three- quarters to the side. Negatives are obtained on films, which are then placed exactly over one another: In this vay the most salient points of the face ar» represented by an Intense black, these having received the maxir. urn of light In one or the other exposure—the ,ess lighted portions are gray, and the tal- lows, having been each time more or less In shadow, anoear as transpavnt nlacfs in the negative.

VEGETABLE SALADS.

The very name of salad seems to convey to some people the Idea of a diah difficult to prepare. With this, there tomes to them, also, a suggestion of expense.

These opinions concerning; salads may doubtless be traced back to the days when chicken, lobster or salmon salad were considered the only dishes worthy of the serious attention of the housekeeper who wished to set before her family or friends a salad course. Thoee compounds were both troublesome and costly to make, and the only other salad with which the majority of persona were familiar was one of lettuce, that had not only been bruised, in the first place, by being: shredded with a knife. Instead of broken with the fingers, but had also been drenched with an unwholesome And Indescribable dressing. '

Nowadays, all that is changed. During the past ten or fifteen years, Americans bave learned more about salads than they ever knew before. New varieties of green salads have been put on the market, and nearly every on knows, by sight, at least. Chicory. Escarole, Ro- maine and Endive, as well as the ordinary lettuce. But in addition to these, the vegetable salad baa come into popularity. Housekeepers have learned that there is a better use to be mad* ♦of left-over vegetables than to turn them into the stock-pot, or, worse still. Into the swlll-pall. They have even found that It Is often well worth while to cook

•sssrtaln vegetables for the special purpose of converting them Into salads.

With all vegetable salads, a French dressing is probably the best. About the only exception to this rule Is found In the case of a salad of raw tomatoes. With this some people prefer a mayonnaise, but there can be no doubt ae to which Is the most wholesome. The emulsion of egg and oil makes far more of a demand upon the digestive powers than the simple mixture of oil and vinegar, salt and pepper. Since "the secret of the salad lies in the dressing," It may not be amiss to repeat here the proportions of a French dressing, that Is so simple to mix, and like many other simple things, is go rarely well done.

FRENCH DRESSING. Put Into a small bowl a saltspoonful

of salt, half as much white pepper, three tablespoonfuls of oil and one of elder vinegar. The oil must be of the best. Nothing less can be trusted to produce a satisfactory result. Stir all thoroughly until they are perfectly blended. To many people the flavor of the dressing la Improved If the bowl In which It Is mixed is first rubbed with an onion or a clove of garlic. When ready. It can either be poured over the salad In the dish, or passed to the guests. The former is the better plan with most cooked salads.

Foremost among vegetable salads, both for simplicity and for taste, comes perhaps asparagus. In Its season it Is a delight, and yet it is of less value than other salads because of the brevity of Its stay. Not far behind It In merit Is the cauliflower. Both are prepared in the same fashion,—boiled, drained, chilled and served with a French dressing.

POTATO SALAD. Boll and peel potatoes, and slice thin.

Put Into a bowl with a small onion, which has been chopped fine. If the taste of raw onion is not relished, this may have boiling water poured over it and be left standing for five minutes before mixing with the potato. You may also add a couple of cold beets, sliced thin. Over all, pour the Frsnch dressing, taking care that this Is well blended with the salad.

Potato salad lends Itself to many va- riations. It is good when celery Is mixed with it in equal parts with the potato, and small anchovies, shredded fine, are a valuable addition. Tomatoes, carrots, radishes and even cucumbers may be combined with it.

STRING BEAN SALAD. Cut boiled string beans Into inch

lengths, arrange on lettuce leaves in a salad bowl, and pour over them a French dressing. An added z<*st will be given to the dish by mixing a teaspoonful of minced parsley and one of olives, stoned and cut in small pieces, with the dressing before it Is poured on the beans. With the beans, may also be mingled green peas, In equal proportions.

STUFFED BEET SALAD. Boil good-sized red beets, and scrape

off the skins while they are still warm. Cut a cap off the top and hollow out the inside. When they are perfectly cold, fllll them with minced celery, mixing a French dressing with It first. Place the beets on lettuce leaves in a salad bowl, and pour more dressing over them before sending them to table.

Chopped cucumber, and the beet that aahs Wen taken from the inalde, may be

used In equal parts for fining In place of the celeiy.

MACEDOINE SALAD. Arrange lettuce leaves In a salad

bowl, and upon them heap cold boiled potatoes, onions, carrots, beets, peas and beans, the larger vegetables cut In- to neat dtce, and all welt mixed. Over them turn a generousmSupply of French dressing and blend,—or use the tech- nical phrase, "fatigue** "well, before serving. Even cold baked beans may be added to this dish. It la a great stand-by for the housekeeper for a cold Sunday luncheon or supper.

CABBAGE SALAD. This Is one of the few salads that la

better made with a sauce peculiarly its own than with either French or mayonnaise dressing.

The cabbage,—a firm while head,— must first be cut fine with a sharp knife that will shred without bruising It. Put a cupful of sweet milk In a double-boiler to get hot while you heat a half-cupful of vinegar In another vessel. As soon as the latter Is scalding, add to It a tablespoonful each of butter and white sugar, a scant teaapoonful of celery salt, and a pinch of pepper. Bring to a boll, turn In the cabbage and move to the side of the fire where It will not boil. By this time the milk should be hot. Pour it upon two eggs, well-beaten, return to the fire, and as soon as the mixture thlckena, put It with the cabbage Into a bowl and stir thoroughly. Bet at once In a very cold place and serve when completely chilled.

Recipes From Many Sources and of Acknowledged Worth.

OMELET. Comparatively few of our housekeep-

ers dare attempt an omelet, but there Is nothing difficult about It. The chief cause of failure lies in not having the spider hot enough, or In making an omelet too large for the pan. For a spider eight inches In diameter not more than four eggs should be used. For an omelet of this size use four eggs, one teaspoonful of salt and two tableapoonfulg of cream, or In place of that use milk. Beat the yolks alone to a smooth batter, add the milk, salt and pepper, and lastly, the well-beaten whites. Have the frying pan v«ry hot. Put In a tablespoonful of butter, which should Instantly hies. Follow It quickly with the well- beaten mixture, and do i.ot st T this after it goes in. Cook over a hot fire, and as the egg sets loosen it from the pan without breaking, to prevent burning. It should cook In about ten. minutes. When the middle Is set It is a good plan to place the pan on the high grate In the oven to brown the top. This la not needed if you turn half of the omelet over upen Itself before turning the whole from the pan upon a hot dish. Serve hot.

ROAST PARTRIDGE. Lard th*tn well with fat pork; tie the

legs down to the rump, leaving the feet on while cooking: baste them well and often with melted butter. They require twenty-five or thirty minutes to cook. To make a gravy put the drippings Into a saucepan with a piece of butter about the size of an egg and a little flour and hot water. Stir the flour into the hot butter until smooth, turn in hot water enough to make it the right consirtency. Just let It boll up once. Or make a Urea 1 sauce for partridge. Cut up an onion and boll It in milk until It is quite soft; then strain the milk Into a cup of stale bread crumbs, and let it stand one hour. Then put It into a sauce pan, with about two ounces of butter, a little pepper, salt, mace and the boiled onion. Boll It all up together and serve It in a sauce tureen.

The. Punchard Hazing.


Win. Poor and Joseph W. Poor. Andover, Mast

Editor Antlocti- T»trn*nt<in, Dear Sir:---

Much has been written about the unfortunate Pttrrehard hazing affair, but a** yet no word ha-s come to the public from those most interested; namely the boy himself and his Uncle and Aunt who have the care of him. I beg the favor of a little space for them and for myself that some wrong Impressions may be cor- rected, and that their attitude may be made clear. They have carefully re- frained from making any statement in regard to the case, acting on the advice of friends who felt that nothing definite could be done, until the extent of the in juries was ascertained and their probable effect on the boy's future life decided by his physician.

In last week's Townsman, a correspondent reviewing the case stated that there bad been conflicts between the freshmen and the upper classmen, in which the freshmen made themselves obnoxious by the use of sling shots and In many other ways, and also stating positively that Jlalstead was one of the number.

Your correspondent has been misin- formed. Jlalstead has never engaged in any conflict with any of his classmates.

Furthermore I want to correct the impression that he is a weakling. I'hysi* cally he was stronger than the average boy of his age, his only weakness being inclined to rapid growth. Mentally he is exceptionally bright and ambitious, and has looked forward for years to the time when he could enter Punchard.

During vacation lie worked incessantly to earn money to fit himself out in clothing, etc. The* first act of the upper classmen was to fill his hat with water and so ruin it. Then they notified him that the next rainy day they would fix him. One boy, no matter how strong, is no match for ten or twelve. During the struggle he told them he was faint and one of them replied with a sneer, and another struck him in the breast and face, and they stopped only when the blood burst from his mouth and nose.

After all due allowance has been made, it was a shameful affair that cannot be excused by saying the boys were "thoughtless." Neither should the injury done to one be allowed to drop out of sight because the action of the Trus- tees in suspending five of the boys seems too severe.

In regard to the action of the Trustees, I am authorized to say by Jlalstead and his Uncle and Aunt that they have no desire to have the boys suspended, and most earnestly hope that the Trustees will reconsider their action. Nothing has distressed Halstead more than to think that the boys should lose their school privileges. His first remark was: "It's bad enough for me to have to stay at home, without making them do so also." Jf the Principal had known what others knew, namely, that- boys were hazed by being held under the fauoet, Btood on their heads in a corner, and pulled around by the ears, and had forbidden it under penalty of suspension, the action of the Trustees could not be ({uestloned. But under the circumstances it is to be hoped that they will rein- state the buys, but provide against a repetition of the offence.

I personally regret that having, even though without malicious intent, seriously injured one of their schoolmate's, that only one of the boys personally or by letter expressed his regret to the injured one or his people, and that only one of the parents, Mrs. Heed, expressed any sympathy with them or sorrow that their boy was in part responsible for the trouble, until after the action of the Trustees. I do not Say that they did not feel both sympathy and regret, but it would have been tetter if it had been earlier expressed to the ones most deeply interested.

I feel that the boys have been sufficiently punished by the thought that they might have destroyed the bright prospects of a young life, but I just as strongly feel that they should be held responsible, as the law holds them, for all expenses and damages resulting from their action. That certainly is the very least they can do to right the wrong they have committed.

Frank Halstead has been a member of my Sunday School class for years, and I know something of his hopes and ambi- tions. It is for that reason that I take a personal interest in him, and shall gladly do anything in my power to see that justice is done to him.

In view of the fact that there is now strong hope of his complete recovery, the parems of the boys implicated ought to get together and provide for the settlement of all expenses connected with the affair.

Thanking you for the position the Townsman has taken editorially, I am,

Yours truly, William Shaw.

COUNTY CONVENTION. B. C. Sawyer of Beverly Nominated on

Eighth Ballot Yesttrday at Salem.

An exciting county convention was held at Salem in the Cadet ArmoryTTaTT, yesterday, when K. C. Sawyer of Bev- erly, was nominated for county com- missioner on the eighth ballot. The tight for nomination was three cornered, between the present encumbent, Samuel II. Smith, E. C. Sawyer of Beverly, and Gilbert II. Kittredge. The Lawrence delegation, numbering thirty-two, held the balance of power and for seven ballots'stood by their candidate. After much iliscussion it was then decided that the delegation should break when it was understood that there was no chance for either the Smith or Sawyer forces joinihg with them. The majority of the Kittredge men threw their votes to Sawyer, which gave him the nomination. ,

The convention was organized with a membership of 876 delegates, representing seven cities ami twenty-seven towns. The committee stated that the following were without full delegations: Salem, two: Xahant, Manchester, Haverhill, Grovelaud and lAwreuce, one each.

A. B. Breed, of Lynn was chosen for peiniiinent chairman and William A. Whit ney\iof Lawrence as permanent secretary.

For seven ballots there was no choice and then Ex-Mayor K, II. Tewksbury, of Lawrence withdrew' Mr. Kittredge's name from the convention. At four o'clock the last ballot was announced and the convention adjourned. The eighth ballot gave Sawyer 154, Smith 127 and Kittredge 1.

ANDOVER CONFERENCE. Semi-Annual Meetine Held at Pawtucket

Church, Lowell, Tuesday afternoon and Even ins;.

The semi-annual session of the An- dover conference was tieid at-the Paw- tucket church, Lowell, Tuesday afternoon and evening the attendance being- about 300. The session was uevoted chiefly to the discussion of missionary topics.

Kev. Willis D. Leland called the conference to order and upon motion of Rev. C. W. Huntingdon the secretary was Instructed to cast one ballot for Deacon O. E. Hood of Lawrence as muderator. Prayer was offered by Rev. C, H. Oliphant Ollphant of Methuen, after which A. W. Burnham reported for the program committee, the report being adopted. Rev. C. L. Merriam, Rev. John P. Richardson of Draciit and Deacon Jacob Emerson of Methuen werec hnsen as a business committee.

Upon motion of Rev. Mr. Leland It was voted to refer the appointment of a committee for the American board to the business committee. -

Secretary A. W. Burnham read the minutes of the last session which was accepted without change.

Rev. John P. Richardson of Dracut then conducted brief devotional exercises,

"Congregationalism In 'other English speaking countries than the United States," was discussed by Rev. F* H. Page of Lawrence. In Great Britain, he satd. there are several Congrega- tional churches, a few in Ireland, 200 In Scotland, and about 3000 In England. There are also Congregational bodies In Australia and Canada. In Englnd they have no conferences, no regard for vicinage and have little control over the purity of the pulpits. They are Inclined more to Independence. England looks to us for ecclesiastical soundness and what the Congrega- tional churches do here has a great In- fluence In other English-speaking countries. What we do and what wc are In the future will be formative of Congregationalism In other countries.

Rev. William E. Wolcott of ' Law- rence followed, his subject being "An efficient church." He said in part: The religious life of a church consists of the two elements of faith 'and works; It has relations with Qod- and man. While both are indispensable faith has a superior dignity, outrank- ing the workn which are its effect. While faith is the impelling cause of the works, the works react upon the faith and Is made perfect by works. They must be blended together; neither is to be considered apart from the other. The church has no right to conduct Us services for its own benefit or enjoyment; It must have heneflcenc out-reaching influences. The church Is not a club. Nothing should be done for the social life of the church In which the spiritual life Is not con- spicuously set forth. For music the answer Is the same. Anything that the originality of composers or the In- genuity of choir-masters may suggest we can have so long as ^he spiritual life Is till made conspicuous. Faith and works should go together and it is because of the failure to blend these elements that many churches go down. It Is ,to be feared that In the prayer meeting, many of our churches are ln- .efljeiept because of the ignoring of one or the other of these elements. The Christian sometimes thinks the Jprayer meeting Is an end In Itself, and when Jhe leaves the church the effect of the meeting has been lost. We need to re- vive some of the Puritanical concep- tions of our needs. We look upon the prayer meeting as a piece of bric-a- brac to be retained on account of Its antiquity. If this spirit continues the prayer meeting is doomed. Soon it will devolve entirely upon the women. then unnn the deacons and Anally th* whole burden will be thro'Wn uponVhe minister with the janitor and a cor- porals guard of the faithful. The church that lick* In missionary spirit fails In the Christian work. The church Is £o proclaim abroad the truths from a Jiove.

THE ORIGIN OF DIAMONDS.

The origin of diamonds, wnleh for so long a time has been a debated question, appearB to be explained by a recent discovery near Klmberley.

In both the Indian and the Brazilian diamond fields the gem occurs like £ pebble In certain gravelly strata, but has not been traced back to any rock that gives any Indication of its genesis. After the discovery of diamonds In the river sand In some South African rivers, a peculiar material of a brownish- buff color, which turned to a dark bluish tint, was found. It became darker as the miners dug down. The diamonds lay in this material, together with several other materials, such as garnets, Iron ores, augite, ollvlne, etc. Excavations, begun systematically, were eventually carried on on such a scale that near Klmberley they reached a, depth of more than 1,400 feet. Here the rock is -about as hard as ordinary limestone. •'The blue ground la found only In limited areas. The rocks around are of dark shales, banded with hard sandstone, in which Bheeta or dykes or basalt or some material which was once In a molten condition are occasionally found. The blue ground Alls a sort of shaft of colossal slxe In these other rocks and Is Itself cut up by *lm!lar dykes. The opinion of geologists differs as to whether the gems are produced where they now lie or have been formed of some volcanic explosions. It Is thought that the mlstery has been at last cleared up.

About two years ago the manager of a diamond mine owned near Klmfcer- ly picked up a specimen In which smaller diamonds wer apparently Im- bedded In the garnet. This led to an Investigation of various bowlders one of which was broken open and was found to contain diamonds. The rock is of the description known to mineralo- gists as "eclogue." It is apparently composed almost exclusively of red garnet rock and a peculiar light green augite The rock is coarsely crystalline and in all probability was once like garnet in a molten condition, the diamond being one of Its original constit- uents. Experts now tend to the belief that the "blue ground" tn which diamonds wer found Is not their true birth place The bowlders are often water- marked and may have rested for ages In an ancient gravel at the very bottom of sedimentary rocks of the district. In course of time volcanic explosions shattered the rocky floor in which the diamonds were Imbedded of which the bowlders were only samples and dispersed it. together with the overlying materials. It is believed that this Is the true explanation of the formation of the diamond bearing 'blue ground."

ANNUAL MEETING.

The annual meeting: of the Ladles' Union Charitable society took place at Russell hall Tuesday afternoon. Re- ports were accepted and officers electei for the ensuing year. President A. F. Carter presided, and presented her annual report which was in part, as follows:

"Bequests have been made In our favor, but time Is needed for those In care of the several properties to so arrange the business as to pass over Into our hands what has been left us.

"From the will of the late W!.lar4 Perkins we have received a small part of what will be ours when the business Is all settled. From Miss Lucy Barbour the sum of $200 has been received for the Children's Home. Mrs. Mary -G. Marble has also remembered us In her will and in due time we shall have the amount she designed for us.

"We hope before many years to be able to realize the benefits of these bequests. Then, Instead of each report calling for more money to A able to do more and better work as we must now, we shall only need the regular gifts of those Interested. A self-sustaining hospital Is exceptional.

"The stars denoting those deceased are rapidly Increasing In our lists of life members, donors, patrons and ben- efactors. There will be added thft year one at the name of William A. Russell, who was a life member, also a patron. Since his decease his heirs have kindly tendered .to the Ladies* Union Charitable society for hospital purposes his estate on Prospect Btreet, which offer the society unanimously accepted with heartfelt thanks both for his kind wishes and for the generosity of those surviving him who propose to pass the property to the society.

"Another star will be placed after the name of Dr. C. N. Chamberlain, who was a life member, also president of the medical staff. While for several years he has not been in active service at the hospital, yet his Interest never failed and he always rendered what assistance he could In our hospital work.

"Mr. Morris Knowles' name we find among the donors In the first printed annual report of 1885, to which this year we must add a star as he too. has passed away. In 1887 (the first year of the sustaining members list) his name appears and in each succeeding report s'nee. Thus he has shown his interest year by year in a very substantial manner.

"Our next May Breakfast wl'l be the twenty-fifth and we hope to have a rousfng rally and make It the very be-t we have ever held. We may call it our 'sliver wedding.*

"We take this ooportunlty to express our thanks to all those who have In any wnv as«i(>t*»d us. Sometimes people Im- agine if they only do a little It Is not worth being grateful for. Such Is not the rose with us. W*» are grateful for everything, any one does for us.'*

Mrs. George H. Woodman, secretary, reported in part, as follows: "The society numbers; 1W active members, representing twelve different churches: tn the collector of the Lawrence street Congregational church. Miss Rhoda Beecher, belongs the honor of obtainln* the largest number of members to the society, and we extnd to hr our appre- ciation of the untiring seat and energy manifested in her work. The other church collectors h«ve d«">ne we'll anJ we thank them for their kind efforts In our behalf.

"This year our list of honorary members has fallen below that of last year, for v*» •**•** «»ble to record only 24 names. Next year may the collectors endeavor to Increase this number twice over. The list of sustaining members, we are pleased to report, has gained well ovor last year and numbers $1.

"The donations and discounts for the year have been fully as numerous and valuable as tn past years, and to those remembering us In these ways we desire to express our gratitude.

"The work of the secretaries has increased most perceptibly, year by year, since the organization of the society twenty-four years ago. Our first record book contains the minutes of eight years' meetings, dating from 1875 to 1883—while today the space in one record book Is hardly sufficient for two years' records, thus showing in a practical way the steady Increase tn the work accomplished by this noble society.

The report of the treasurer. Miss Clara F. Prescott, showed receipts amounting to $19,470.12, and expend! tures of $10,798.03. The sum of $6610 was carried to the permanent fund, $204.04 to the permanent fund of the Children's Home, leaving a balance of cash on hand, Oct. 1, 6T $1858.06.

WAS ACCIDENT.

John Qulgley of Lynn who was In- dicted for manslaughter In killing Sam- uel E. Flamer last July and found guilty when tried in the superior criminal court here was sentenced Tuesday night to six mnnths In the house of correction by Judge Sherman.

Qulgley is a young sturdy looking fellow, 24 years of age and as Judge Sherman said, he has a good looking face. According to the evidence he was quietly sitting on a platform about a mill when Flamer came along drunk The two had some words and then Qulgley struck Flamer with his fist, knocking him down. Flamer, It hap- pened, had a thin skull and the blow cause a clot of blood to form on his brain resulting in death.

Lawyer McCarthy of Lynn appeared for Qulgley and asked that his case be placed on file, or that a fine be Im- posed, as It was evident that the killing was purely accidental. Judge Sher- man said he regarded it as an unfortunate affair, and he did not consider that Qulgley meant to hurt Flamer. Nevertheless he must be punished in some way. The Judge said a short sentence in the house of correction seemed to be the best disposition of the case he could make and Qulgley was conse- quently ordered to serve six months.

The Blake case occupied the entire morning session of the superior court.

The thirtieth anniversary convention of the New England branch of the Wo- man's Foreign Missionary society began its session at the Garden street Methodist Episcopal church Tuesday evening under most favorable conditions. The attendance was unusually large, the Interest* great, and conse- quently the prospects of a fruitful convention are most excellent.

The convention Is attended by delegates from all over the world, many of the missionaries present having seen considerable .service \tv Andla, China, and other foreign lands.

I Rev. G. M. Curl, pastor of the church presided at the meeting and in appropriate words extended a hearty welcome to all. A brief missionary cove- nant meeting was conducted by Rev. Mr. Allen of Methuen, Rev. G. W. Nor- rls being too 111 to be present. The missionary service, though short was Im- pressive, because of the many testimo- nies offered by those who have gone forth to preach 'the gospel, regarding the success of (lie missionary Jjj work during the past year.

The address of the evening was delivered by Rev. Dillon Bronson of Salem who pointed out in eloquent words the power which woman has acquired in all branches of missionary work. He cited many instances of what woman has done for 'the church declaring that woman has been God's greatest helper in reclaiming the world. The speaker referred to the many women missionaries who have won fame in their chosen work, anJ accomplished Incalcula- ble good.

Rev. Mr. Bronson closed by congrat- ulating the society upon Its excellent work and expressing confidence in the future career of 'the organization.

A meeting of the executive committee was held Tuesday afternoon at which It was voted to accept several recom- mendations made by "the conference and the district secretaries. Among them were the following: That

the expenses of the superintendent of the children's work (the assistant to the district secretary) be sent to the branch treasurer through the district secretary.

During the winter of It*!)", Mr. .lanies Reed, one of the leading citizens and merchants of Clay, Clay Co., W. Va., struck his leg against a cake of i«-*■ in such a manner as to bruise it severely. It became ver>,much swollen and pained him so badly that he could not walk without the aid of crutches. He was treated by physicians, also used several kinds of liniment and two and a half gallons of whisky in bathing it, but nothing gave any relief nntil lie began using Chamberlain's Pain Balm. This brought almost a complete cure in a week's time and he believes that had he not used this remedy his leg would have had to be amputated. Pain Balm is un- equaled for sprains, bruises and rheumatism. For sale by Arthur Bliss, An- dover, C. H. Shattuck, Ballardvale.

Mr. Wm. Walpole. of Walshtown, 8. D, says: "A little blotch about the size of a pea came under my left eye. gradually growing larger, from which shooting pains at intervals ran in all directions. I became greatly alarmed and consulted a good doctor, who pronounced it Cancer, and advised that it be cut out, but this I could not consent to. I read in my local paper of a cure effected by 8 8.

COUNTY NOTES. At a meeting of the Lynn school

board Tuesday night. Superintendent Bruce reported five cases of scarlet fever and two deaths from the same cause In the Eastern avenue school, ari the board of health was requested to fumlngate the building.

The stench arising from the decaying herring at Manchester having become almost unbearable, the board of health took the matter in hand and have put a gang of men at work picking them up and burying them, some 200 barrels being disposed of In this way last week.

Messrs. Croweil and Frank Dow recently found 80 dead lobsters in their traps, all that they contained. It is presumed that" the waters of the harbor had become so contaminated by the great number of dead herring as to kill them. All other kinds of fish have disappeared.

The schooner Prlscllla of Gloucester arrived from the Ashing grounds Tues- day evening with John Gregor one of her crew suffering severely from scalds about 'the arms and face. A boiler of hot water which was in the forecastle etove, fell on him when the vessel was on the banks, inflicting the injury.

At the meeting at Conomo Hall In Essex recently there was a great deal of enthusiasm in regard to the matter of the Burke-Bamford Shoe company of Ipswich removing to that town. Essex men say there will not be the slightest difficulty in raising a sum of money sufficient to induce Mr. Burke to go there and take the vacant factory in South Essex. Mr. Burke's reasons for going away from Ipswich is that he cannot And workmen and that there are plenty of them in Essex. The matter has not been fully decided but the indications are thut the business will leave.

A DEVIL INFESTED EDEN.

The most expensive book ever published is the official history of the war of the Rebellion, which is now being s- sued by the United Staes government, at a cost up to date of $2,800,000. Of this amount nearly one-half has been paid for printing and binding, the remainder to be accounted for in salaries rent, stationery and miscellaneous expense?, including the purchase of records from private Individuals. It has taken ten years to complete this work which consists of 112 volumes.

The largest book in tHe world Is In the Chinese department of the British Mu- seum, and consists of 6,020 volumes. This wonderful production of the Chi- nese press was purchased a few years ago for $6,000 and la one of only three copies In existence. ' It Is an encyclo- paedia of the literature of China, cov- erng a period of twenty-eight centuries from 1000 B. C. to 1700 A. D.

It owes Its origin to the literary pro- clivltleB of the Emperor Kang-he, who reigned from 1662 to 1722. In the course of his studies of the ancient literature of his country, Kang-he discovered that extensive corruption had been allowed to creep into modern editions, and he conceived the idea of having the text HH fhe *oHglha-rfl* reproducer!- and" preserve! in an authoritative form.

This was a mighty conception, and In its execution it remains unique down to! the present day. For the purpose of carryng out the work, Kang-he ap- | pointed a commission of learned men . to select the writing to be reproduced, and employed the Jesuit missionaries to cast copper types with which to exe- cute the printing.

The commission was occupied for forty years in its great task. Before the work was completed Kang-he died, but he had provided that'Tils successor should see the book completed. The book Is arranged In six divisions, each dealing with a particular branch of knowledge. The divlbions are thus des- ignated: First, writings relating to the heavens; second, writings relating to i the earth; third, writings relating to mankind; fourth writing relating ti in- animate nature; fifth, writings relating to philosophy; sixth, writings relating to political economy.

(From the London Times) Capt. Welby, who has recently re-

cently returned from an expedition Abyssinia, tells the following extraordinary story of the haunted land of Walamo:

"One of the most weird and remarkable scenes I ever witnesses was In Wal amo, some fortnight's Journey south of AdiB Abeba. The place had an evil reputation, and I had frequently heard that anv person venturing to enter the country became the special prey of de- mons—in fact became possessed by de- mons. Of course, I poo-poohed the Idea but nevertheless it made me more determined than ever to go there. My Abysslanlans did not even demur when I told them of my resolve, but the fact really was that they did not think I should be permitted to enter the devil- Infested S3ne. On reaching the mysterious place I found It to be one of great beauty. It was a fertile country with luxuriant vegetable growth, inter- sected wlth_streams. It was, moreover very hilly and well timbered. The In- habitants I found to be most friendly although they told me they had never seen a white man before. So far all had gone well, and I was more certain than ever that the evil reputation of the place was orrty based en supersti- tious nonsense. I do not say that subsequent experience has left any very clear Idea In mv mind, and I can in no way explain the marvellous phenomena which I witnesses. I only state the facts.

"The first sign of anything wrrrg was when one of my Somali escort rushed into camp shouting "Walamo.* 'Walamo.' He was frightfully excited he shook violently and kicked like a madman, and in the interval between his shrieks he told me that he was possessed by a devil. The whole of that night he was neither more nor less than a maniac, but the next day he was perfectly well. I had been previously told that once a man had become 'Walamo' or devil-possessed he was always liable to a second attack, and as a simple measure of precaution the man's rifle was taken from him. While on the, march he had another access of this curious madness, in the course of which he drew a knife and rushing about threatened to kill everybody. It took several men to hold him down. It Is supposed to be especially dangerous to eat focd in the presence of the 'Walamo* people, and on one occasion ojie of my Sudaneses saw a Walamo gaslng In- tently upon him while he was having his meal. Nothing untoward occurred at the time, but two days later this man became a raving maniac.

"The latest victim, who was my head- man, had always been a peacable order- ly fellow, but he professed to know before the outbreak that he had become possessed. Certain it is that he, like the Somali, kicked and yelled and ex- hibited similar symptoms to the other unfortunate. Without Intermission he shouted "Walamo' at the top of his voice, and in his madness Injured three men. Eventually he had to be tied up, but the next day he was perfectly well.

"Thinking I could perhaps do something to explain these extraordinary occurrences I resolved to eat solemnly a meal in the presence" of the Walamo myself. When all was prepared I had something like a hundred of these people watching me. In due time the meal was over, and I thought no more about it. Here I should state that I had not had a day's illness during the journey and was In the best of health at the time. The next day, however, I felt thoroughly ill. Needless to say I did not let any of my people know that anything was wrong nor can I attempt to explain the cause. I was quite unable to find a cause for this mysterious business. I merely confine myself to a bare statement of the facts. It was an anxious time for me, as I did not know whether at any moment the whole camp might not become *Walamo."

MORNING HEADACHE.

A general feeling of malaise in the morning, accompanied by more or less headache, is well known to most of us. The expression "I've got a head on me this morning," well defines the symptoms which are almost invariably due to retention in the system of a small amount of the uric acid and allied products formed during the hours of sleep and not properly excreted. It is the fore- runner of a gouty or rheuntatic attack. Tartarlithine Is just the remedy for this condition. Two tablets in a goblet of water, not iced will clear the head, start up the action of the kidneys, and freshen one up wonderfully. The dose should be taken before breakfast.

A capital tea is the only kind that is suitable for the Capitol, and a capital tea is Chase & Sanborn's package tea, fit for the most fastidious.

These package teas of Chase & Sanborn's come in pound and half- pound air-tight leaded forms.

By this method the excellent flavor of the teas is nc'. lost by contact with the air.

Another advantage of packing them in this way is that it makes it impossible for their teas to be adulterated. "

Among the most popular kinds of their famous package teas are th*

following:-the Kohinoor, an English Breakfas^Tea^the Orloff a Formosa Oolong, and the Orange Pekoe, an India and Ceylon tea

The local lodge of the Degree of Honor had a largely attended meeting last Fri- day night at which refreshments of Ice cream, cake and coffee were served. In each dish of ice cream was concealed a tiny doll and much fun was occasioned on its disclosure. To the one taking the longest time to eat the cream was awarded a prize which fell to Mrs. E. E.

The most unique industry in the world is that carried on at Kimberley, where the diamonds are obtained.

In Dr. Bowker's travel .talk on the Transvaal he takes his audience, inci- dentally to Cape Colony and introduces them to the wonders of Kimberley and actually traverses acres of diamonds. When the discovery of the precious stones was made, the gems were found in the mud walls of the homes of. the Boers who were totally ignorant of the immense wealth that lay within their grasp. This lecture is said to be a fine exposition of South Africa and is pro- fusely illustrated with a rich and unique selection of views. It carries one not only through the Transvaal, but to Durban, .Natal. Johannesburg and the far famed Cape Town.

At the present time when Briton and Boer are struggling for mastery, this is an especially appropriate subject.

Andovcr o, Harvard Freshmen o.

Tin- tfiinu' between IV A. ami tUuJijir- vrtiil hrtKliiiit'ii was n hotly auatsstffl one, hiMt Wadnasday afternoon, and after 3ft minutes of MBiawtflg up ami down tin- field, the coutentant* left the Held, neither side bating ioorvd. Blaoa Easter and Harvard Freshmen played eaeh other to a standstill hist Saturday nt Cambridge, the result here Is alftnlA- eant.

Again Andover entered the game with a practical); substitute eleven, as Cap- tain Davis, Bloomer, Collins and Brown did not play. With the two former in their placet, at tackle*, and with Collins at half haek. the result would doubtles* have been materially changed.

Ili.th teams played a kicking game with the advantage slightly in Andovei's favor. .Stevens punted well, netting good distance Into hU kicks. Several of stilluiau's punts were blocked but the ball was regained by man in every Instance. The chief fault of the Freshmen was fumbling, which lost them the ball on several occasions.

Andover was unable to make many gains through Harvard's centre and although they had the hall inside of the Freshmen's ten yard line, they were unable to score. Andovei's goat was not once in danger, although Hersey, formerly of Kxeter, gave the V. A. men a scare by his :'."i yard run around Haf- ferty's end. Stevens made some substantial gains for Andover in the first half and Kciuhardt bucked the line for several yards at a time in the second half. Lev hie was not up to his usual standard of work and could seldom make a gain.

Andover's line belt! well considering that they played the game through with only one change, Hutkiewics supplanting Flinii at centre in the second half, while Harvard presented a fresh eleven.

Storey, left end, and the centre men. Sugden, Higgs ami Cudahy played well for Harvard. Stltlman and Horsey did most of the ground gaining. The line-up was as follows:

Andover: Hafferty, I.e.;Kothschild, l.t,; Weekes, l.g.; Vliiin and Hutkiewies, e ; Kinney, r.g.; Coonley, r.t.; Matthew*, r. t\; Winslow, q. b.; Ueinhardt, 1. h. b.; Stevens, r. h. b.; I-evine, f. b.

Harvard Freshmen: Story and Per* cival, 1. e.; Mckerson and ritkin, l.t.; Cudahy and Ayer, l.g.; Sugilen and Wat- erbury, c; Kiggs anil Jones, r. g.; Mo tirew and Fox. r. t.; Clark and lie Donald, r. e.; Baldwin, q.b,; Derby, l.b.b; Herscv and tCnovlea, r. h, b.; Stillman. f.b.

Oom Paul's Diamonds.

If Ooin Paul decides to take the inl- thrtH'fr4n the approaching conflict it is not Improbable that he may cross the border into Kimberley and seise the enormous stock of gems kept there by the British company which owns the diamond mines. The latter being de- fended only by a single regiment of tuiliiia. this movement will be attended by no difficulty, and the government of the Transvaal will find itself provided with a commodity readily exchangeable for a vast rum of money to serve as j-lnews of war.

Nobody knows Just how much value In the shape of diamonds is kept In t-tore at Kimberley, but it Is certainly giguntk. Quit* possibly it Is $100,000.- 000 worth. The company has offices In London, but Its headquarters are in the South African city, and there, in a building resembling a bank, the bulk of the gems is kept, stored away In vaults. If only a fraction of them were offered for pale aE once the price

Harvard-' ,lf diamonds would promptly , tumble, but the great corporation, owning as It does deposits which produce ninety- eight per cent of the world's entire yield of these precious stones, is able to control the market absolutely, and holds back a large part of Its output, disposing of only a limited number of carats each year.

The yield of the mines is ahout 5,500 carats every twenty-four hours and the diamonds obtained from the diggings are sent daily, under armed escort, to the company's headquarters, and there delivered to the appraisers in charge. First they are cleaned by boiling them in a mixture of nitric and sulphuric acids, and then they are care fully sorted In respect to slse, color and purity.

In one room are kept on exhibition stones aggregating 60,000 carats, and the spect-aele they afford is most striking.

Only a doien years the Kimberley mines were worked as more than 3000 separate claims, each SI feet square and separated from one another by narrow roads for hauling the gem bearing earth In ISM, however. Cecil Rhodes brought ■ bout a consolidation of all these properties into a single corporation, which now practically monopolises the diamond production of the world, with a capital of $19,500,000.

As Is usual In such cases the discovery of diamonds In South Africa was purely accidental. A stranger "trekk- ing" through the country stopped over night at the house of a Dutch farmer who showed him as curiosities some bright pebbles found by his children, whueh the latter used as playthings. The visltir suspected that they were diamonds and being an honest man sug gested the idea to his host taking them to the nearest city, soli then for a sum sufficient to hake him rich for life.

The Tailor's Cross.

There i« a story of «n envious tailor curtem with the French peasantry. He fancied that Ins neighbor, who received a pension for ;he loss of an arm in- curred while fighting for his country, \\as better off than himself. Both men went lo pay their rent on the same day.

That's a lucky man." said the tailor to the landlord. "He gets well paid for his arm."

"Hut who would be willing to part with an arm even if he were paid for it." said the landlord.

"I would," declared the tailor. You'" cried the landlord. Why

man. yoU wouldn't be willing lo bear anything of the sort no matter how much you were pail for it."

who had studied human nature. "Ill tell you what, if you'll wear even so much as a chalk mark on your back. I'll remit your rent as long as you wear it on your coat so it can be seen, the

n being that you tell no one why it is there."

"Agtve*!," *aid the tailor eagerly. ' That's an easy way.to pay rent."

?0 the .-halk mark in the form of a cross WAS made on the back of his cost and the delighted tailor sallied forth upon the street.

I by the streams. Even then only the I yellowish surface earth was worked. j and when the miners got down to the 'blue clay which later proved to be the | true matter of the stones, they imag- i ined that the deposits were exhausted. j Ihe Kimberley mines now yield 2.500.000 Karats annually representing a value of I E.VOOO.OOO of which two fifths is clear I profit.

The Company owns over twelve thousand acres of rich copper land in Texas, opened, tested, developed and NOW BEING OPERATED. Millions of tons of copper bearing clay and marl running from five to ten per cent., and large quantities of ore carrying from fifty to seventy per cent, copper in sight. Cheaply mined and treated, favorable climate, cheap fuel, and ample water. Stated by geologists, chemists, experts and engineers to be one of the greatest and best in the world. Amount of land, quantity and quality of ore, cheapness of mining and treatment, the increasing demand and profit in producing copper "considered, the Boston and Texas Copper Company possesses unequalled advantages and affords the best kind of an investment.

This Company can produce copper as cheaply as any in the world. COPPER MINING IS THE SAFEST AND MOST PROFITABLE

OF ALL INDUSTRIES. Calumet and Hecla ore averages 4 1-2 per cent, copper. It has paid $62,850,000 dividends

Tamarack ore averages 3 per cent. It has paid $5,910,000 in dividends. Atlantic ore averages 85-100 of 1 per cent. It has paid $780,000 in dividends. Boston and Montana ore runs 7 per cent. It has paid $10,775,000 in dividends. Franklin ore averages 1 37'oo per cent. It has paid $1,290,000 in dividends. The Quincy ore averages 1 S-io per cent. It haspaid$l!,070,000.

THE AVERAGE OFBOSTON & TEXAS ORE IS OVER 50 PER CENT., and of copper marls and clays from 5 to 10 per cent. Both the ore, marl and clay are within a few feet of the surface of the ground, so that the expense of mining and hoisting is minimized. A party of New England capitalists who have just returned from an examination of the mines in conjunction with one of the ablest mining engineers in the country, report the property to be one of the largest and best in America, and to contain inexhaustible quantities of rich copper deposits.

It is estimated that the plant now being arranged for will produce $3,000 to $5,000 per day, INET.

An Evening Call.

He who bes; knows how to propitiate the mother of his best girl has the battle more than half won. This has to do with a bungler in the line referred to. He called at the preuy hduse on National avenue and made the mistake of trying to entertain the mother instead of allowing the mother to entertain him while waiting for the girl, who had not completed her toilet.

"What are the three latest me:ho.is of rapid communication*" he asked very early in their conversation. She gave it up and he glibly said: "Te'e- graph. telephone aad tellawoman." That she was indignant appeared in the fact that she did not laugh and went on to tell what a revival of old jokes there had been of late. But he never twigged and continued to be "smart" The mother determined to be watchful.

The daughter came and the mother excused herself, only to find a seat :n ;he back parlor. She had taken a dis- like to the youth and was on duty. The baby of the household came in. and. as a matter of course, toddled right to the corner occupied by sister and her

steaiy." Full five minutes mamma sat in alert alienee, and then bahy chLrped. "Tiss me. too. sia'er."

Sister always has her head, and at once said in a raised tone of rot**

• MONOCACY*. Pa.—Up in the ravine a j half a mile, from here is where they use a half of ton of dynamite every week in an armor plate graveyard. Steel ar-

, mor plate that fails to pass the government inspection is sent here to be

! broken into frogments to be returned to thes melters at the mills. The noise of

; the process may be heard fifteen miles I away. Operations are directed by Ca-

leb Bland. He has forty men at work. i twenty who drill holes in the armor

plate by night, and twenty who do | nothing but explode dynamite by electricity during the day.

As man}- as forty holes are drilled li ; a single plate. These holes are filled I with dynamite which is fired by wire,

one shot after another, reminding one of the roar of artillery or the thunder of battleships in action. This is kept up all day. The sides of the surroun'- ing hills break, in a measure, the tarn* fie sound, yet the roar is deafening and the earth shakes. They use the finest diamond drills, and the men engaged in the business have beeen doing little else for a long time. It is remarkable that not more people are hurt. The workmen use four tons of dynamite every month and yet accidents are rare. They are now blowing- to pieces armor plate from the Midvale Sted Works under contract. The plates are shiped by rail to the Slooocacy ravine over the Reading railroad and when they are

I broken into bits are sent back again. They also blast into fragments large condemned cannons from various gun- work*, forts and ships.

They are busy every day. The ter- rific firing begins about * o'clock every morning and continues until well on in

, the 'afternoon. Frequently gunners or nut hunters are alarmed by the fearful noise, not knowing what is the cause. They break up thousands of pounds of chilled steel every day. The drills are run by steam. The drilling is done by night, so that they can fire during the day and not keep any one from sleep. The only complaints they now have are from some new men on the night shift who cannot sleep in the day. Said one of the bosses:

*Ovr old men who work at night ca*i s2eep in the day quite »-e:: no matter how much noise we make.They are use' to it. Those men can sleep during the most ten-no explosions- It is wonderful yet they do it. The women folks for miles around attend : > the:r household work, not at all minding the roar of the exploding dynamite. They are accv*-

. tomed to it. The children go to school and study their lessons, but are not dis- turbed. It Is Just as If they were study-

necessary- Tou can Imagine It requires a good many shots to use up a ton of dynamite in six working days. We are earful in handling the dynamite, and that's why we have so few casualties. We have the best of appliances for pre- venting the scattering of fine iron or steel in the air and to avoid damages resulting from flying fragments. We had a man in our employ who waa blown up. losing his feet, hands and both eyes. He still lives and la doing the work of an evangelist.—N. T. Sun.

A startling incident, of which Mr. John Oliver of Philadelphia, was the subject. is narrated by him as follows. 1 was in a most dreadful condition. My skin was almost yellow, eyes sunken, tongue coated, pain continually in back and sides, no appetite—gradually growing weaker day by day. Three physicians had £iven me up. Fortunately, a friend advised trying 'Electric Bitters:'and to my great joy and surprise, the first bottle made a decided improvement. I con- tinned their use for three weeks, and am now a well man. I know they saved my lite, and robbed the grave of another victim." No one should fail to try them. Only .V» ct*^ guaranteed, at 'Arthur Bliss' Drug Store.

Open-Mouthed Astonishment.

Hiram M. Stanley advances a new explanation of the tendency to open the mouth in surprise and astonishment Darwin ascribed this tendency to the intuitive desire for quietness and inef- fectiveness of breathing, and to mere relaxation of the muscles. Mr. Stanley finds a deeper organic reason, viz.: that the open mouth is the attention sign, and is a primitive and constant reac- tion with the young of many animals for the reception of food—for example, with birds. Any sound or other «::x- ulus immediately causes the young bird to extend its mouth. With young infants the same influence has often the same effect. The mouth of the infant under such stimulation usually assumes the sucking form, and its smile when the finger is pointed at it may be either nascent or degraded sucking.

Mr. Stanley maintains that the common and highly useful tendency of the very young to open the mouth to all stimuli, visual, aural, etc., continues as a survival in after life, being especially brought out with stimuli of high intensity and unusual quality, and thus becomes a mark of surprise and astonishment It. is a habit very common among boys and girls jw open the mouth under any attention. The rise of smiling and laughter as connected with wK and humor—at the basis c' which lies surprise—thus declare itself as a kind of attention expression. As- suming that the primary expression of the mouth is a feeding expression, and that this probably has been modified and evolved in connection with a variety of attention phenomena. Mr. Stan- ley suggests that it would be wortli while to make a detailed study of expression In infants and young ar.i-r.il* with this point in xiew—St. Louis CloT* Democrat.

.candy pounded fine; when dissolved, pour the brandy back u ain on the elif-rrlea. Thia (s a method for private use. One for purpose! of aale highly recommended is; Take any quantity of black cherried, stiff them and crual) them with a mallet, put in u cask and cover with strong spirit, stirring; occasion* ly for seven days. The cask should he tapped and stood on the head before the cherries are put in; add to every four pint! four imits of water snd one pound of sugar; pour backward and forward for another week, then bottle. Another method la to use half elderber- rlea with the cherries and eider instead of water with the spirit. A Sew England method la four quarts of brandy, four pounda of red cherries, two pounda of black cherriea, one quart of raspberries, a dozen cloves, one stick of cinnamon, half an orange peel. Let this stand a month closely flopped, then bottle It. putting a lump of augar in each bottle. The liquor in all caaea la alrained away from the cherries and aplee. Cherry bounce in France is called ratifla de cerises and ia made of Horello cherries stoned, the kernels crusficd with a mallet, eight pounda of cherries to eight pints of brandy; soak for a month. Strain, press the Juice forcibly out of the cherriea and then add to the quantity 1H pounda of augar. Let It stand to mix, strain and bottle. Another English method: Five gallons of cherries and two gallona of white sugar sirup. Let It stand a month, with three quarts of pure spirit. Dissolve In a quart of pure spirit half ounce of oil of hitter almonds, quarter ounce oil of cloves, quarter ounce oil of cinnamon. Mix with the strained Juice from the cherries and bottle. Cherry cordial: One quart of the Juice of cherries, two pounds of best white sugar. Stir the sugar into the'Juice until thoroughly dissolved, then add the brandy and filter through blotting paper.

CAKES FOR WINTER SOCIALS.

An earthen or wooden dish nnd wooden spoon are best for stirring oake.

Before you begin to mix the cake, grease the tins with butter or lard as preferred—butter gives the cruet a sweeter taste—but the cake is less l.kely to stick to the pans if lard is used, but if the tins are lined with paper, it will not matter which Is used—parafflne paper may be used for lining the tins without greasing at all. Several thicknesses of paper should be laid in the bottom of pans for fruit cake, as this Is more liable to burn than Other kinds.

Have all the necessary ingredients at hand and see that the fire is good as cake should not be allowed to stand during the process of mixing, or when ready for the oven.

The butter and sugar should be stirred to a cream. This process is facilitated by having the mixing bowl slightly warm but on no account melt the butter. Upon this faithful '"creaming" of the butter and sugar, depends chiefly the success of the cake.

To the butter and sugar add the eggs beaten thoroughly. In most cakes a better result is obtained by .oeatlng yolks and whites separately, and adding the beaten whites last.

Next add the milk and flavoring. Sift the baking powder or cream of tartar and soda thoroughly through the flour Fruit and ipicet should always be added the last thing.

But much of the success ei cake making depends upon the oven. Most cake requires a moderately hot oven to make It rise up well. Fruit cake should be put Into a slow oven, as It needs longer baking and Is apt to burn. For all cake the heat should be well kept up. Sponge

I cake In particular needs a steady heat. I Jelly cake and all layer cakes need a | hot oven, and are easier to bake than

loaf cake. They bake quickly and require clo^e watching to prevent burning around the edges. When loaf cake is placed In the oven do not open the door or the oven till the end of ten minutes or more as the chill of the outer air might cause the cake to fall. Do not remove the cake until It is thoroughly baked or It will fall.

Good cooks vary as to the use of pastry flour or bread flour In cake making. Pas- try flour being generally advised by the best writers on cookery, but from actual results bi-th are considered good.

A very good plate of assorted cake may be made up from the following re- celpes.

ANGLE CAKE. One scont cup of flour measured after

sifting f3ur times; one teaspoonful cream of tartar sifted Into the flour, eleven eggs (whites only), one and one- half cup finest granulated sugar, vanilla for flavoring. Use pastry flour. Beat the whites of the eggs till »tlff, then beat in lightly the sifted flour, sugar and vanilla, pour Into an ungreased pan without paper. Bake in aqulck oven. When the cake is done, turn the pan upside down and rest It on something so the air can pass under the cake until It partly cools. Turn It out and frost the bottom with confectioners' sugar, wet up to the right consistency with cold water and flavored with vanilla and spread o» the cake while warm.

DEVIL'S FOOD. One-half cup grated chocolate, one-

half cup milk, one egg (yolk only), cook all together in stew-pan till thick, then add this custard to one cup sugar and one-third cup butter, one-half cup milk, one and one-half cups flour Into which is ■Ifted one-haaf teaspoonful soda. Bake In square tin and frost with boiled frosting

BOILED FROSTING. One cup granulated sugar, one-ha'f

cup water boiled together till a little hair forms from the spoon. Then cool and pour on to the stiffly beaten white of en egg. stir till it granulates and spread on cake quickly while both the frosting and cake are warnr.

DATE POUND CAKE. One-half pound sugar, one-half cup

butter, one-half pound flour, five eggs, one-half pound dates cut up fine, mix and bake (n usual way. Very nice.

PURL CAKE. One cup sugar, one-half cup butter,

whites three eggs, one-half cup com starch, one-half cup sweet milk, one-half teaspoon cream tartar, one-quarter teaspoon soda, vanilla. Frost with chocolate frosting. .—.«-«1P

Nothing couM'more forcibly empha- sise I>r. Bowker's enormous range of travel than the three lectures he is soon to give in the Town Hall.

The Portland Argus said that " he has a newspaper fatuity for presenting timely topics," a statement borne out by the titles of his talks here, "The Transvaal," "Spain," ami "Hawaii, the Paradise of the Pacific." It is safe to say that no other lecturer of the present time can treat so diverse subjects so intelligently and with so firm a grasp as does he. His power to live, for the tune being, in the lands which lie speaks of, and to share that existence with his auditors and the force and vigor which he infuses into his talks are topics of much compliment to him.

The Transvaal is an entirely new and fresh theme and given by Dr. Bowker alone in America. Spain receive-, at his hands, treatment of which she could not complain, while the romance of her life is moat vividly portrayed. His last lecture on Hawaii is. of course, highly appropriate just now and one tTf widespread interest and is

illustrated with fresh views while the side issue he makes to lovely Samoa, with data of the Stevenson fan>

gives an addetl interest.

Tuesday evening was the opening evening of St. Augustine's parish fair, being held at the Town Hall this week, and the hall was taxed to accommodate all who were present on that evening. Congressman John Fitzgerald of Boston was in attendance and opened the fair with a speech,

t'ongessnian Fitzgerald was introduced by Rev. Fr. O'Mahoney, who in a nnet address told of the former's career in congress. In his speech, Congressman Fitzgerald braised the Catholics of An- dover for their endeavor to build a larger and better place of worship, expressing the hope that their labors should receive a due reward. He commented on the work that Fr. O'Mahoney is doing here and complimented him on the success of his efforts.

Changing his subject, he reviewed the history of America from the landing of Columbus to the present time, showing the prominent part that the Catholic word had played in the life of the new world. He said the first prayer offered on this continent was by Catholics and the first religious service was the consecration of the holy sacrifice of the mass. Going on to the Revolution, the war of 1812, 1862, he* told of the part taken by the Catholics in each, then later, the last war took his attention and he said wherever there was a Sampson, a Shafter or a Dewey, Catholics were also there. The address was very interesting and the shaker's -words were applauded warmly.

Divisions 7 and 8 of the I<awrence A. O. H, also came over from the city in special electrics, accompanied by the I^awrence Brass Band, to attend the fair, and previous to entering the hall, paraded up Main street.

Peter Graham was in charge of the Ancient Order of Hibernians and the Hibernian Ritles which were also present were led bv Timothy Fitzgerald. They made a good showing and numbered about 150 men.

The program for the evening consisted of selections by the band, and a laughable season with Miles Jordan, a comedian, from Lawrence.

Strenuous efforts have been made by the parish people to achieve success in

The law is ].roKil.lv designed for the good of that clam in even' cominunity

i who persistently endeavor to keep their | children from the public schools, but it

is very easy to see how a bumptious school official might do some very dis- agreeable things to people whose judgment as to their children's schooling was very worthy to be trusted.

■«••« Patrons of the stivet rars have been

very much interested in the sujierior management which has taken such excellent tare of the track on the And- over line for the |«st few years. Just at present they are watching to see how many times the experience of running off the track must lie repeated before the low and uneven stretch of rail in Marlancl village will be repaired.

A rain, nearly a month ago. cau-*-d such disturbance at this point that cars were derailed and jtas^ngers delayed very much. I.ater another storm came \ and a similar cxiH-rience was eiu-oun- j tered. and now on Wednesday of this] week occurred the third break in the

i traffic at this same place. And all ' j because of very lax oversight on the | iiart of some one in authority.

It wi mid seem as if the comfort and I convenience of the lanje street ear I travelling public in Andover ought to I lie worth more than is represented by a day's work of a half dozen diggers and a boss.

• •••• The republican representative con-

vention at North Andover last Saturday evening was a notaMe one in tereral respect*.' Even- delegate was present and every act of the convention was the unanimous expression of the entire membership nf the convention. Mr. Poor, the nominee, is wither an orator nor a politician, but he is vwy evidently a clear beaded, keen sighted, and intelligent business man. whose ju<lenient the difftrki may very -safely trust during the coming legislative sesnon.

their fair and the prospect* seem good for the fulfilment of these intentions. Beautiful hangings of nile green, pink and white bunting, looped with rosettes, draped around the -watts and rays of the same colored bunting, extending from the chandelier in the centre of the ceil- iug to the sides of the hall, make a handsome combination of hues in the decorations of the room. Around the sides of the hall are the tables in charge of various societies and organizations of the church, arranged in various odd and striking forms, trimmed prettily. Each table is in charge of a lady or gentleman with a corps of assistants, and each was trimmed by those in charge. Upstairs a shooting gallery is a drawing card with the men and boys. This is in charge of several young men of the parish., The cloak room in one corner is also looked after by the young men.

On Wednesday evening, the program consisted of dialect readings and comi- cal songs by William McPade. of Law- rence, and vocal selections by members of the choir from St. Marys church, Lawrence.

Thursday evening. Moran and Derine, Indian clubjugglers. and the 1'arthenian orchestra furnished the entertainment. Tonight, the choir of St. Augustine's church will have the program iu charge. They will be assisted by William Mc Connor, of ..awrence. violin soloist. On tomorrow night, the last evening of the fair, prizes will be awarded to "holders of the lucky numbers.

Following is a list of those in charge at the various tables :

The eighth Republican representative district convention was held at the Se- lectmen's rooms. North Andover, last Saturday evening. Chairman John N. Cole, of the district committee, called the meeting to order shortly after 8 o'clock and by motion of George H. Poor, Mr. Cole was chosen as temporary chairman. Joseph A. Smart, of And- over, was made temporary secretary.

The chair appointed E. W. Greene, of North Andover, George YY. Foster and John S. Dearborn of Andover, as a committee on credentials. The committee reported twenty-two delegates present, 14 from Andover and eight from North Andover. North Andover was entitled to nine delegates, one being present without a credential.

Upon a motion by Barnett Rogers, the temporary organization was made permanent.

John L. Smith of Andover, hoped that in the future, delegates would not be chosen pledged to any man but favorable to him, so that they might be allowed to use their judgement. He moved that James C. Poor, of North Andover, be nominated by acclamation as the Re- publican candidate for representative from the 8th district. A. W. Badger of North Andover, seconded the nomination and it was unanimously carried.

It was voted that the chairmen of the Republican Town committees, from the three towns, should constitute the district committee.

It was voted that the district Com- mittee be empowered to till any vacancy that might occur through the death of the nominee.

A supplementary report by the committee on credentials showed that twenty-four delegates were present, two having arrived from Middleton.

A committee of three consisting of Barnett Rogers, of Andover, Albert A. Wilkins of Middleton, and A. W. Bad- ger of North Andover, was appointed by the Chair to escort the nominee before the convention.

Mr. Poor when brought before the convention, made a brief speech in which he thanked the convention for the honor which the party through its delegates did him. He said that there hail been no question in his mind as to what action the town of Andover would take ill the matter of choosing between right and wrong; it would not be found wanting in a question of fair play.

After cigars had been circulated, the convention adjourned, having been in session about twenty minutes.

Noted Speakers to Address Massachu- setts Republicans, Oct. 31.

The Annual Dinner of the Republican Club of Massachusetts will be held in Music Hall, Boston, on Tuesday evening, Oct. 31, 1899.

The speakers will be Gov. Theodore Roosevelt of New York, Senator Henry Cabot Lodge, Gov. Wolcott, Hon. W. Murray Crane and Hon. John L. Bates.

The great popularity of Gov. Roose- velt and the fact that this will probably be the first speech which Senator Lodge will deliver after his return from abroad, are enough to ensure a crowded hall, while every member of the Club will be glad to bear His Excellency the Govern- or and the candidates for Governor and Lieut enant-<Jovernor.

Members of the Club are urged to make applications for tickets for themselves and their friends at once, as there is no doubt that the demand will largely exceed the capacity of the hall. Mem- bers will have the exclusive right to purchase tickets until Tuesday, Oct. 24, after which day the sale will be open to the public.

The arrangements will be similar to those of former years. The price of Dinner Tickets will be two dollars. The exchange of dinner tickets for reserved seats at the tables will take place in Horticultural Hall at 5 o'clock, and at Music Hall after 5.45 o'clock. The dinner will be served at tt o'clock, and the speaking will begin promptly at 7. There will be good music, patriotic decorations and a satisfactory dinner. With each dinner ticket sold are given two tickets for the balconies, for friends o those participating in the dinner.

For that portion of our community which, like Johnson, prefers to take its travel at its own fireside, the announcement of the travel talks by Dr. John C* Bowker will be hailed with delight. It is four years since lie appeared in An- dover, during which time lie lias again wandered in search of new material and made his second complete circuit of the globe, enjoying the distinction of being the most broadly traveled lecturer on ttie platform. His last season was the most successful in his career and drew large and cultivated audiences in New York, Brooklyn, Philadelphia, Boston and Pittsburg, winning fgr him most Mattering encomiums, the New York Herald pronouncing him "better than Stoddard."

His programme here includes for topics the Transvaal, Spain and Hawaii. These are subjects of special interest at the present time and the first one is a clear exposition of the case of Boer and Briton in South Africa, derived from Dr. Bowker's personal experiences on the spot and told in his vigorous fashion. Of the Spanish lecture the Boston Herald said: "The lecturer's broad culture, his wide sympathies, his noticeable impartiality in dealing with foreign people, together with his excellent lit- eracy style made the occasion one long to be remembered. It was a lecture of absorbing interest. The last talk on Hawaii bubbles with wit and is bright- ened with joyful little gusts of humor."

The series given at the Town Hall will be identical, in every respect, with that given in Steiuert Hall, under the patronage of Bishop I.awn-nee, Robert Treat Paine, Admiral Belknap, J, Mal-

j col in Forbes and other prominent citi- j zens.

The Senatorial Campaign.

The attention of the citizens is hereby called to the records of two candidates for Senator, between whom the voters of the 5th Senatorial District must make a choice on election day; there was a bill which came before the Legislature this year in which the residents of the Towns within the District were especially interested. Namely: An Act to make the Lord's day close season for birds and game. This Bill reads as follows:—

Be it enacted, etc., as follows: Kvery Lord's day shall be close season.

Whoever hunts or destroys birds or game of any kind on the Lord's day shall be liable to the penalties imposed for violation during other close seasons, and such penalties shall be in addition to those already imposed for violation of the laws relating to shooting upon the Lord's day. (Approved March 1, 181*9.)

This bill is greatly needed to protect our farming districts from the ravages of an irresponsible class of persons who go about on Sunday annoying the people and shooting every living thing.

It is as onishing that any Representa- tive should vote against this Bill, but Rep. <»uy \V. Carrier, the Democratic nominee for Senator,isrecoided as voting against this Bill, while Senator Chas. F Sargent who is a candidate for re-election on the Republican Ticket favored the bill and did all he could to secure its passage. The bill is now a law and our People have the much needed protection.

THE FLETCHER MUSIC METHOD ▲ Pew Words of Interest to Parents and

Pupils.

On account of the widespread interest in the Fletcher Music Method, a few words of explanation may not be amiss.

It was originated by a young English girl Living in Toronto, who saw the diffi- culties of trying to teach the abstract subject of music to children in.the same way as to older people. She has patented a number of materials such as musical blocks, a keyboard, time division blocks and a scale ladder, by means of which and innumerable stories, games and songs, music is so taught that the lesson becomes a delight, eagerly antici- pated, and, as Fletcher music teachers well know, hard to leave. Mothers can testify that children love to tear apart and put together again, and because of this natural desire they are given a keyboard from which every key may be removed, and then it may be replaced.

The time-di vision blocks and the seulr- ladder are so admirably suited to their purpose, that often and often when these materials are shown to older people, they wish that they might be children again to study time and to learn to build scales in this delightfully clear way.

The eye, the ear, the fingers, the sense of rythm are trained; the child is ap- pealed to on every side through what he loves; there is provision made for his restless hours, and the times when he is willing to sit and play more quietly. What child can resist a "Once upon a time" story, or a lively game with the other children, the teacher a child with them also? And yet everything is a means to the end of learning music, and the results accomplised by the children are astonishing to older musicians.

The method prepares children for Other instruments as well as the piano, ami on account of the especial attention given to that most important subject, ear-training, parents of children backward about singing have often hail them take the method for this one thing.

The child Kings songs, he gains a knowledge of composers, past ami present, he learns something of Har- mony (chords and intervals) he is taught to give expression to the music within him, and through it all. the teacher cherishes in him most carefully his love of music.

Miss Clara lionise Carleton of Brad- ford, assistant in music at Abbot Acad- emy expects to give a Demonstration of this method in Andover, about the first of November, in order that the mothers may judge for themselves of the value of the system.

CLERGYMEN MEET Gathering of the Andover Association.

Held at Riverside Church, Law- rence, Tuesday.

An all day meeting of the Andover Association of Congregational Clerygmen was held Tuesday in the Riverside church, Water street, Lawrence, of which Kev. Henry E. Oxnard is pastor. The latter welcomed the members as they arrived, and the exercises opened at 9 o'clock with about 25 members present. From W to 0.15 o'clock the time was spent in renewing acquaintances. Hev. William E. Wolcott acted as moderator.

The first business in order was the action on reports of committees. Rev. F. A. Warfield, of Lowell, spoke on ♦'Rest Methods of Pastoral Visitatioa". Then followed an interesting discussion of "Function and .Scope of Ecclesiastical Councils," by the members.

From 12.30 to 1 o'clock, a devotional service was held in which all participated. This was followed by dinner served by a ladies' committee, consisting of Mrs. Edward Padgett, Chairman, Mrs. Susan Mitchell, Mrs. George Watts, Mrs. Fred Rriggs, Miss Mary Gidley. The tables were prettily decorated with ferns and flowers.

The afternoon session began at two o'clock and routine business was transacted, after which came the examination for licensure of Albert Henry Stoneman of Ann Arbor, Mich., who it a student at the Andover Theological Seminary.

Following this was a review of Illing- worth's Divine Immanence, by Rev. R. W. Dun bar, of North Chelmsford, and a paper on the "Life of Drummond," by Rev. F. A. Wilson, of this place.

The meeting was a very helpful and successful one, tending to promote interest along certain lines of work. The session closed about 4 o'clock.

Alr.rm of Fire.

About 1 o'clock, Thursday morning. Box 52, at the engine house was rung in for a slight blaze in the basement of (laniard's block, Main street. The fire was located in a pile of waste paper and oily rags at the foot of the cellar stairs lead'ng from the entry. Nearby was a tank of kerosene oil and in the next basement, under Henry Mc Law lin's •tore, was stored considerable gun powder. Fortunately the fire was easily and quickly extinguished and did little damage.

The colored inmates of the block received a bad fright from the smoke which i Hid their rooms and many hurried out Into the street in their night clothes.

What caused the fire is not known but it may have been spontaneous combus- tion. . . .

KIND WORD3.

Ktnd wt»rds are far too scarce, In thii weary world of ouf*tw^

They're like oil on troubled watefe, Like the sunshine to the Sowers.

They're like drink unto the thirsty, They're like food unto the weak.

Give to those who need your comfort Kind words from your heart oft speak

Help alone each fallen brother, If you cannot give him gold

Give him cheer and treat him kindly, 'Tho the black sheep of the fold.

What right have we to judge each other?

Can we read the Inmost heart? Would we do Just one bit better,

If we had to act his part?

Do not help to drag him lower, Give not scorn nor laugh nor sneer.

But give kind words; lead him onward Perhaps for him salvation's near.

For Qod sees with eyes of mercy— , As we're tempted when we fall,

He considers our weak nature. And with justice Judgeth all.

L. A. Q.

-

During the winter of 1897, Mr. James Reed, one of the leading citizens and merchants of Clay, Clay Co., W. Va., struck his leg against a cako of ice in such a manner as to bruise it severely. It became very much swollen and pained him so badly that he could not walk without the aid of crutches, lie was treated by physicians, also used several kinds of liniment and two and a half gallons of whisky in bathing it, but notliing gave any relief until he began using Chamberlain's I'ain Halm. This brought almost a complete cure in a week's time and he believes that had he not used this remedy his leg would have hail to be amputated. Pain Halm is uu- equaled for sprains, bruises ami rheumatism. For sale by Arthur Hliss, An- dover, C. II. Shattuck, Hallardvale.

Educators Meet.

"I notice, my dear, that our standing army on the Island of Luzon has been largely reduced."

"Eh! I didn't see that. What's the reason?"

"So many of the regulars are sitting down waiting for the rain to stop."— Cleveland Plain Dealer.

There were fourteen present at the regular monthly meeting of the Masters club Tuesday night in the parlors of the Brunswick hotel on Essex street.

Wendell P. Brown of 51 Smith street opened the session with a talk on educational review. The different studies of today as compared with those of years back showed great advancement in the line of educational work and Mr. Brown was praised by his fellow associates for his able speecr.

New education was spoken of by A. L. Pulkerson. Superintendent J. E. Burke spoke well on co-operation between principals, teachers and pupils. For years the various phases of school life has been constantly before the public and there is not much to say that has not been Bald. Mr. Burke however brought out several points that are well to remember.^ He gave no regular address the assembly being simply an un- conventional gathering but spoke from notes.

The main thing, he said. In order to get best results from school work Is to have the principals, teachers and pupils work together in harmony. Too often it Is the case that good work is destroyed by an over-bearing teacher or a pes- simistic principal. The pupil is but youth. He Is alive to all the qualities good or bad he sees in his Instructors and what he learns from them is what Is going to shape his character. Many say that the parents are guardians these days of a pupil's welfare, but I think It is the 'teacher of the public schools who have more to do with It than anyone else. They are with them the largest percent of the time and their thought, character and actions go a good way. A pupils always remembers what he sees In school, and he, nine out of ten, follows up the same line of education when he goes out into the world to do life's battle. The teacher, I say has the shaping of our future citizens, and 'to them belongs the credit for what the smallest juvenile In the schools makes of himself. Mr. Burke spoke clearly and concisely for over an hour. Refreshments were served. Among those present were James D. Home, Edward S. Rlley, A. L. Fulker- son. Hector L, Belisle, Ernest C. Jewell Bernard 1VT. Sheridan, Wendell P Brown Charles M. Lamprey, David W. Holt, Adelbert H. Morrison, Michael G. O'Brien, Frank V. Thompson, A. W. Scrfbner and William W. Keayes. Par- ty broke up about 11 o'clock.

A COUNTERFEIT IN CIRCULATION.

A new counterfeit 910 silver certifi- cate has been discovered by the secret service division of the treasury department. It Is of series 1891, check letter M. plate number Indistinct, probably 74, J. Fount Tillman, register; D. N. Morgan, treasurer; portrait of Hen- drlcks. It Is a dangerous photomechani- cal production, printed on soft paper, probably made up from two sheets of Japanse tissue. Green and red Ink lines are used to Imita'te the silk fibre of the genuine.

The face of the note has a grayish tinge, owing no doubt, to the use of poor quality of black Ink". The color of the seal Is a trifle too dark. The treasury number Is good, both as 10 color and formation. The lathe work, with ♦.he exception of that In the counter lpper right corner face of note. Is well executed. The back of the note Is more leceptlve than the face. The Imprint

«>f the bureau of engraving and printing left end, back. Is illegible.

Sad Fatality.

Peter Welsh, a braTceman on the Bos- ton & Maine railroad, was caught between two freight cars and killed shortly before 8 o'clock Tuesday night about 100 yards north of the Salem . street bridge. This Is the, third fatal accident which has. occurred in that vicinity within a comparatively short time.

He was preparing to make a coupling between two boX-cars and unexpectedly a train of three or four cars was backed down against one of'fchem. 'Welsh was doubtless unprepared and he was crushed between the cars.

Conductor Abbott of the cre\v of the Phtfter, it is reported, snouted to the brakeman, but the warning came too late. Death was probably instantan- eous.

HOT STUFF.

A well-known Mississippi farmer will have cause to remember his recent visit to Memphis, says the Scimitar. He stopped in a well-known cafe, and, among other things, ordered ar sirloin steak. A bottle of tobasco sauce was on the table, and. mistaking It for cat- sup, he spread it quite lavishly on the steak and settled down to enjoy the meal. He cut off a big piece, but no sooner had It struck his mouth than he began to feel like his tongue was on Are. He twisted and turned, and soon had the eyes of every one In the dining hall fastened on him. The more he twisted and screwed his face, the hotter the steak in his mouth got. He didn't know what was the matter. He could stand It no longer, and reaching up his hand he Jerked out the burning bite, threw It on the floor, and In a very dra- matic way. exclaimed: "Now, d—n you, blaze!"

The Company's properties consist of several thousand acres of TESTED OIL PROPERTY in Ohio and West Virginia, having: a monthly production of over 15,000 barrels.

The policy of the Company from the start has been to purchase nothing- but producing oil lands; and with their present output of oil will be able to pay not less than 8 per Cent per annum from the start.

The Company are now negotiating for a number of oil wrMs, which when secured will give them a monthly yield of over 30,000 barrels'; this will more than double the net profits of the Company applicable for dividends.

All other remedies and doctors could give her no help, but she says of this Royal Cure—"It soon removed the pain in ray chest and I can now sleep soundly, something I can scarcely remember doing before. I feel like sound- ing its pi aises throughout the Universe." So will every one who tries Dr. King's New Discovery for any trouble of the Throat, Chest or Lungs. Price fiOc/and *1.I)0.

Everything poin'tB to the election of Joseph E. Buswell as one of the representatives for the Sixth Essex district and there seems to be no reason why It should not be srf The district has a Republican majority of about 400 and beBldes this Mr. Buswell has many friends in the opposite party who will mark a cross against his name on election day. He is gaining votes every day.

Joseph E. Buswell, the Republican nominee for representative to the general court from thlB town Is a native of Methuen where he has always resided, as did his parents before him. Earnest, honest and aggressive with a good education, the attributes of a public speaker and the ability to present his arguments in the best possible way, he Is peculiarly fitted for the position to which he aspires. That he will be elected there Is no reason to doubt.

MORNING HEADACHE. A general feeling of malaiae in the

morning, accompanied by more or less headache, is well known to most of us. The expression "I've got a head on me this morning," well defines the symptoms which are almost invariably due to retention in the system of a small amount of the uric acid and allied products formed during the hours of sleep and not properly excreted. It is the fore- runner of a gouty or rheumatic attack. Tartarlithine is just the remedy for this condition. Two tablets in a goblet of water, not iced will clear the head, start up the action of the kidneys, and freshen one up wonderfully. The done Bhould be *aken before breakfast.

CREAMER GETS 30 DAYS.

In the United States circuit court at Boston Monday afternoon Ernest S. Creamer of this town who was Indicted for violating the postal laws came up for sentence, having pleaded guilty. Creamer was charged with using the mall in pursuance of a scheme to de- fraud. He was sentenced to 30 days. At the same session of court William E. Mahoney a Lowell letter carrier was sentenced to one year at Concord for stealing a letter containing $3. He also pleaded guilty. Creamer's sentence is a great surprise to people in this town where he Is linown. It was generally believed that he would get at least one year.

FOWLEH--SMITH. Descendants of two prominent New

England families were united In marriage Saturuay and the scene of the rite tanan church. William Plummer Fowl- er, Esq., of Boston formerly of Concord Sf H„ was the groom and Mlsa Susan Farnham Smith eldest daughter of Mr. and Mrs. J. H. D. Smith of Cost on and this town was the bride.

At 2.30 o'clock, the appointed time, the groom attended by Mr. William Athenon of Boston, as groomsman, awaited at the altar the coming of the bride. Just a Little later to the music of Wagner, the wedding party preceded by the ushers, approached those m waiting, the bride accompanied by her father by whom she was presented. Rev. Edward Everett Hale, D. D.. of the South Congregational church, Bos- ton, performed the ceremony, and lh*i local pastor Rev. Charles Noyes, assisted.

Dr. Hale, a warm personal friend of the family, found especial pleasure In officiating, as both bride ana groom are prominent members of his home church Mr. Fowler being a chairman of the standing commit tve. The second daughter Miss Harriet Stevens Smith was the maid of honor. The gown of the bride was of white satin trimmed with Duchesse lace of rare pattern. She wore a veil of white tulle, gracefully draped and caught with orange blossoms. A beautiful jewel, a crescent of diamonds, the gift of Miss Fowler, the groom's sister, was the only ornament worn. Bride roses were the chosen tlowers. The maid of honor wore a becoming gown of white muslin and carried "ink blossoms.

The ushers were Messrs. "Courtenay Guild, Eoward Hale Smith, brother of the bride. Josiah Minot Fowler, Ed- ward Eaton Williams. Francis Lowell Cooledge. William E. Merrill. Atherton Sewall of Boston, and Moses Tyler Stevens, Jr., of town. The pulpit front was richly set with an arch of palms, ferns, rubber plants and decked with chrysanthemums and roses. The balcony front and entrance were fes- tooned with twined evergreen. Prof. Hamer of Lawrence presided at the organ. Immediately following the nuptial ceremony a reception was held In the family summer residence just north of the church, on Prospect street.

Mr. and Mrs. Fowler Interchanged greetings and received the well wishes and congratulatory messages of their guests in the central parlor, standing between two pyramids of palms whose bases were of smaller tropical plants. Between the palm trees, extending from ceiling to floor, were strands of twined evergreen, while around the upper ceil- ings and upon the- centre chaiuiflier were vines of asparagus fern. Beautiful asters and other blossoms en masse among the greenery, completed the artistic effect. The north and south parlors were also prettily adorned. The marble mantles were banked with na l- den hair ferns, the mirrors above were bordered with twined evergreen and wood ferns filled the fireplace. Groups of potted ferns and other plants were placed elsewhere. Twined evergreen was woven In pretty festoons above the doors and strands of the same bordered the spacious halls. The banister rail was wound with greenery and terminated in a graceful spray upon the pedes- tal.

The mantle of the dining room was also prettily, adorned with flowers. Fold ing doors enabled the three parlors to become one spacious room which addei much to the convenience of the guests. The decorative features were designed by friends and the effects attained were decidedly pleasing. The reception was held between the hours of 3 and 4.30 o'clock, ddrlng which time the Co- lumbian orchestra discoursed music. Caterer Page of Lowell served the wedding feast. A special train of five cars from Boston at I o'clock brought th-» Boston guests to the North Andover depot, and from there the guests were conveyed by private carriages an! spec ial electric cars to the residential site. The guests returned by special train at 5 o'clock. Of the large number of distinguished guests invited about 500 responded and this number represented besides Boston and vicinity. Concord. Exeter. Portsmouth. Manchester N. H.. Salem. Lowell. Lawrence. Haverhi'.l and the Andovers.

The ushers were met at the South de- rvM in the morning* and entertained at dinner at the Country club house. The bridal gif*s were many and included almost everything that art could suggest or genius devise. Some dosen or more tables attractively arranged in the south chamber set forth a marvel of value and elegance. The day also com- memorated the second anniversary Of the weddinc of Mr. and Mrs. Leland. the latter being the youngest daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Smitfc.

Thursday. Mr. and Mrs. Fowler sailed on the steamship Frederick Greets* from New York for a trip abroad. Returning; tbey^JwiU. be at home Thurs- day* in February 15-— at J73 New bury street. Boston. The fairest of fall days. * s:n*i*shed and congenial guests, the taste and refinement of the proceedin* all contributed to make the wedding a very notable event to the whole coun- tryside.

An Illustrated Lecture.

So universal is the*interest .in at- tempts to beautify homes, streets and parks, by window boxes, and the plant- ing of trees, flowering plants, vines and shrubs, that we are sure many of our readers remember an illustrated article in the April Review of Reviews, written by \V. H. Tolman, and setting forth in the most graphic and entertaining man- nier, the marvellous change that has taken place in Dayton, Ohio, by syste- matic, persistent work in this direction.

Mr. Tojman who " is the Secretary of the League for Social Service. New York City, describes in this article how null yards, storage buildings, tenement houses, and stretches of bare, ugly walls, became dreams of beauty, under the direction of F. L. Ormstead; with comparatively little expense of money, owing to the widespread enthusiasm of owners, laborers, members of the city government and even little children.

So fascinating was this article, so much seemed to have been accomplished, that the Secretary of the And-

I over Village Improvement Society wrote, Mr. Tolman. and found that he was continually giving an illustrated lecture, which in greater detail told the' same story, and by the aid of lantern'and

, slides, made the improvement still more - evident. Besides, the secretary learned ' that Mr. Tolman could adapt himself to

local conditions and could show as how to make our beautiful Andover still more beautiful.

Mr. Tolman has this last summer given this lecture in Liverpool and Edin- burgh most successfully ; and lately at a Federation of Women's Clubs in Boston,

. held the attention of a weary audience ' for more than an hour with its substance matter.

He is said to be, a delightful speaker, and his lantern illustrations to be uo- surpassed in number and beauty by those of any lecturer at present in the Held.

The secretary of the A. V. I, S. w« able to engage Mr. Tolman for early in November, when it is hoped the Town Hall will be crowded with eager listen- ers. The admission fee will be small probably only fifteen cents, as the object is to give every person a chance to hear, and the local expenses will not be large. Mr. Tolman being employed by the League for Social Service, receives no pay, his traveling fees alone having to be met.

Particulars will be given later in ample time for people to make arrange* menu to attend themselves and take their children. It would indeed be a great pity, if, through press of business, lack of memory, or interest, this leMttn* 1 should fail of an audience. It looks at this writing, as if it was to be one of the most helpful as well as delightful things the season will offer.

Bicknellmade Trousers are (he Best. Ask for them.

Early latt spring, before the woolen mills all combined in a gigantic trust and advanced prices all aJeag the line, we made several large purcha«esof Fine Worsted Trousering, all at old prices.

Two lines of fine fancy worsted stripe, beautiful styles and shades, are selling at $■">, that are actually worth $7 today.

$5.00 Is a very popular price for Fine Worsted Trousers, and we are determined this season to open the eyes of the young men with $5 Trousers that are actually worth $7. We have a fine line of them now ; such styles at this price will not last long, and the value cannot be duplicated. Moral—Don't delay.

$6-$7 The trousers we are selling at $6 and $7 are every bit as good as ordered. Trousers you will pay $9 and- $10 for. You cannot buy better styles at any price. Nearly all of them are our own make, which is in itself a guarantee for honest trimmings, fit, sty^e and workmanship.

* ..nrtover Trees.

From no(e« kindly loaned l>y Mr. Al- fred 1NM.IV of Salt'in and from Rome information from the few neighbor* in tin- suburbs 1 could reach, quite a JJIMHI

deal ha- been drawn to place the ago of some old trees. 1 shduld be sjlad to hear of other veterans with a history of the planter or the site marked. Our ancient forest growth converted into woodlot*. and mimed Scotland lots, Cuba, Pine Swamp lots and Falls Woods in the early deeds have been handed down and about\ and cut, till hardly a venerable tree can lie found. We had a large pine growth on the Preston Plain section, of pitch pine, I should judge. The oak groves rtf West Parish probably supplied the ship timber anil frames for garrison houses latest, after the North Parish planta- tions were well cleared, but I have noticed no tine oak growth that equals the lot back of Prof. Phelps mansion. A spring of water is said to rise near the root* of one tree and make its way across lots to the Shawshin.

The History of Andover tells of the white oak dug up by ('apt. Amos Holt from the Hidden place, for the old ship Independence furnishes 8 l-"2 tons of ship timber and five cords of wood, and the tree measured 21 feet around the base.

What has been taken from Falls Wood* in the way of large timber, I do not know. The name by the way seems to have been spelled Fales ami Fawls early, and ciunniemorutes some Middlesex County family very likely. The Gray estate now holds the oldest wood in that section and it is a pail of the original legacy from Robert the mariner. a

Holt's Woods, so called, included the Indian Kidge Reservation, which has the oldest growth of White Pine in tliis section and there we must listen for tin; music of the pines for a generation, before we get it anywiieie else. A group of pines in Frye Village, and just one over the Lawrence Ime, not long to lie respected, are all we have left of-the oldest Merrimac Woods between the Shawshin at Stiiui>sou's Bridge and BodwelTs Ferry of the valuable Poof and Barnard Woodlots.

"Plum Gordons'' and Huckleberry- Hills" were early-included in the-an- cieut deeds, and disapjiear with the pines, their old neighbors. Carniel Hill is well shorn since my childhood, and only the modern grove on the Johnson estate with its Labrador Mora and wealth of Mitchella, jMilypods and baneberry, hints of what we used to get in the old days, Blanchard's Pond Groves lack the atmosphere of the old growth around Pomp's Pond that brought 01H the novel called "Chestnut Wood" in 1S3I). by a "Miss Fvans of Andover" who evidently enjoyed the social functions of the date held there and at lied Spring and on the old Kidge, now gone away forever behind the town horses, to make roads. A group of pines near the Brownell es-

tate shelters a lew Solomon's Seal and fringed ]H>lygala tInif irhgcTsrirrohl AU Isit's meadow. In Frye Milage, a wood lot owned by the heirs of Stephen Abbott, h» ..beea cut, that has preserved till today, the rare creeping yew and the Alpine bearberry. The Smith (irove, west of Abbott Village, where so many Sabbath sclusil pfenks have gathered, has outlived the Temperance Woods la-hind the Fein S-m, that has la'en cleared up in a most lonesome fashion. On the Baker farnoby the roadside is a tine growth of old Norway line.

Some one, ]N-IIIU]» Jonas Holt, Isini 1*011. signs J. II. to a description in 1H53 "Advertiser" of the Parish woisl lot, that extended in his boyhood, from the Stone Academy site on Clmjiel street to Cniversalist Court, now Dr. Richard's estate, and from Bartlet street across lots to School street, the only road on the Hill that was built up.

After the Turnpike was made in 1K(M">, the trees were removed for the modern buildings and two old oaks north east «f the Edwards place, and the big maple lately removed in the yard cf Miss Emily Carter, were all that remained in 1863. Two well grown oaks are on the Seminary grounds and a fine tree on the roadside behind the old gymnasium, that were probably acorns when the old oak tree wits cut down, more than so years ago to make way for Phillips Academy. Here tmditiion gives the place where our tirst soldier killed on Andover soil, fell in 1676, while clearing the Abbott meadow bonier for settlement, and the section was settled later by his brothers, which seems to confirm the taht. On the corner lot owned by the descendants of the captive Tiimrfhy Abbot, is a line growth of oak, supplied with the over- How from the perennial spring that sur- vives on Sunset Rock and dries up only a short time in June under the oaks.

Aline oak stands back of John Love- joy Ablsit's on Lupin Hill near the old tan pit. Perhaps the old oak west of Blanchard's Pond on llucklelierry Hill is still standing, where the veteran Prince Antes had a home and blacksmith simp after the Revolution.

A famous crooked oak on the Baker Place, w'ell known, got its name of Samj»sou's Hockey from Samuel John- son, wdio, skating with George Baker and the lads and needing a hockey, was advisedj.*rr try the old oak stem. He thought ;i S;IIII[ISOII would Is' required to wield it, and the tree"won its name.

Bed, white and black oaks appear to have been spired for laud marks in the old deeds, iK>rh:qw because they were long lived. Sometimes you find a maple, but the tenacious oak that holds its leaf well, the brown sprays making tine decorations, was the favorite. In the Punchard school grounds stands a maple that was a veteran when Still- man Harnden and lus mates were young, and the famous rattle show was held on the waste land and the fortune teller was sheltered under the maple. A line sugar maple on the Sylvester Abbott farm was raised from seed brought from Maine by young -Asa years ago.

telling how old these old veterans are. There is one in the yard of the drillin place built Jsl-'. on site now is-- j cupied by Mr. Croplcy, and the tree ; was well grown at that date. There are two very uncanny specimens in the yard of T. Osgissl Wardwell lu North Varish. Another was brought by Mar- tha Frye, wife of "Moses Abljott, from West Parish in her handkerchief, and planted on the site of a Chandler barn burned by a mischievous lad. She married Moses in L71H) and died 1804. Butternut trees are probably all on the lists of the small boys of the town. The only one of historical interest was that at the corner of the Byers estate near the South church at the rock in the wall and the one that used to stand in the Poor house yard on the old Osgood estate before the present* brick building was raised.

The birch has not had its dues in history and Oliver Wendell Holmes in 1806, helped place a halo about the twisted old veteran north of Babbits Uock.

The hickory of our woods would re- call to many wanderers tales of adven- ture and mishap. One stands on the Hidden farm that marks the site of the oldest Chandler bouse built on the land in the 4th generation. A line row on the Locke estate does not need advertising.

Our fathers appear to have saved for us two varieties of elms, one a long legged slim drooping variation of the feather duster of Western forests, and the other a line old sprangly bouquet of Umber with feet, well planted forward as old age sets in and like ripen- ing corn and brains, a l>etter base is required. I always supisised in my ig- norance that these bunching elms with rough hides and stiff branches were a variety of the English elm naturalized, but have been told that I was wrong. Anyway they make our best specimens. The veteran that lies buried in the Common or Elm square under the car track, in 180(1, when the Turnpike went through, was directly in its jiath and the workmen who boarded in the Ames tavern near decided to cut it down. I leu Ames the landlord, stole out in the night and tilled the old trunk with spikes as far up as he could reach from the base, ami tin- COIU|HUI>* derided to go around it, i»erha|>s with a view to avoid the ledge that lay on the Barn- ard estate border. Across the street from Sullivan's in West Parish where a bright boy lives who is (joint to make a historian, stands an elm that was planted about 130 years ago by Widow Ballard, mother of Tim of the Vale, assisted by her negro boy, and as she boughi the house, built 1710, of the Blanchard heirs in 1772, very likely she celebrated the Independence oi the colonies. This tree has seen a' cyclone and two ice storms, and has nearly done with us. The elm 011 the Berry estate was planted by Isaac Blunt in 1790; he brought it across his saddle from some journey.

Two very aged trees dating back to about ITfiii. when the Joseph Abbott Unit owned the Cobuni place on Cen- tral street, was drowned, are standing but very weak. Cousin Samuel Abbott who bought or built about 17M1, may have set them out, but I think they are older,

On July 4th, 1833, the neighbors held a picnic under a Jine old elm on the Henry Gray place. On the estate of Joseph .Lovejoy, is a tree planted by his great grandfather Jeremiah, who married a Mallard in 1760, and died in 1800. Mr. Feeney, who occupies the Xoah Abbott place, lias a tine tree injured by lightning, that dates back to near the same ilate. The old elm near the Peters place in North Parish, planted by Chaplin Frye, liefore the Pig Wacket Fight in 172.), was down long ago, and all things tend to show tliat 150 years is about the span for the American elm, and another score tun be added in favorable conditions The elm opi>osite the Manning place was set out by Joseph Ballard, a bachelor at 21, in 1707, and the one on Hidden place may be older. The tree on West side the Syt Abbot farm was set out in 1820.

We miss the old pollards of Joseph Pierson's estate, and those near Poor's shop in Frye Village. On the F. Homer Foster farm are several tine old gnarly fellows. The ash seems to lie coming on well. On this farm are live in a row planted by Master Billy, alsiut 1833 to 8, assisted by his young son, born when he was 72'" and who fell for diversion into one of the holes. David Baker planted the line ash on his farm about the same date or earlier.

I Inrse chestnuts are in from 1810 to 1848. Moses Stewart brought plants from Connecticut, and one on the Pherps place was given to Miss Jane Phelp's father, by Mr. Stewart and planted out by Moses Abbott, when she was a girl, over 00 years ago. A line specimen is 011 the John F'lint estate with twin trunks that bloom alter- nately.

Of old apple trees we have the remains all through our woods, sometimes on the Middleton line with soli-

tary grave- marking the old forgotten ! house. "The sweet brier and the '. wild 1

apple were the predecessors of the ; I gaunt tree so hard to handle in harvest,

but line in May. One nl the oldest I orchards in order is that of the Phillips ! Manse in North Parish. Dr. Pierson's. I orchard extended from the Daley i Block to Roger's Brook and two,

vengeful lsiys girdled the trees one | -night. A survivor still stands at the j rear of the Baptist Church, and its mate is in the yard of the Printing office. Old liear trees with fruit as hard as wood that cooking will not subdue, are found 011 the sites of very old homes, with the mulberry, one of which stood near the fcaley block and iwssibly another is still on t'annel slope. We used to cultivate silk worms in Andover. The most interesting old garden was that of Andrew Allen's on Sunset Hock annexed to the Abbot estate with an ancient Bell pear tree and a little north west the mounds of an Indian Chief and his squaw. Near the tree, the former resident on Sunset Rock Kail tragedy in the family that produced "haunts" that followed the old house even when it was cut up for Scotland School House. I'p at Laurel drove old Joseph Bailey was struck down by the sun in his field and after he had been carried away to rest, the loving grandson William planted an apple tree where they found the old man. I must make room for the red hawthorn of Dr. Sanborn's old garden, parent stock of others like it, and the old Abbott rose tree on the Withain farm that lives in its offshoots from the time of the 2nd. generation.

MORXIN'G HEADACHE.

A general feeling of malaise in the morning, accompanied by more or less headache, is well known to most of us. The expression "I've got a head on me this morning," well defines the symptoms which are almost invariably due to retention in the system of asmall amount of the uric acid and allied products formed during the hours of sleep and not properly excreted. It is the fore- runner of a gouty or rheumatic attack. Tartarlithine is just the remedy for this condition. Two tablets in a goblet of water, not iced will clear the head, start up the action of the kidneys, and freshen one up wonderfully. The dose should be taken before breakfast.

t.u.i was very good to us. He scat- tered his gifts here with a wonderfully prudigal hand. Ten thousand miles of »tacuaet_ equipped wipi spacious har- bors; 23,000 miles of navigable rivers* great lakes planted right here where comerce seemed to require them; mountains of Iron; coal enough to supply the world; gold, silver, copper—indeed every metal and mineral which man needs. Boundless forests. A climate so friendly, BO varied, that we can produce every manner of fruit and grain a man requires. We made fairly good use of them all. Since the close of the Civil War ttfe progress of this republic has been the marvel of the whole world. We have gone forward with leaps and bounds. We have outstripped every natipn on earth In manufactures, mining and agriculture. Why? Gladstone not a great many years ago in a leaflet published by him, said: "Our daughter over the sea may sometime overtake her mother." Suppose the blessed old man were alive today and should write the fact, what would he say? 'Our daughter beyond the seas has over- taken the mother, has distanced her in the race and can only see her now looking backward through the dust raised by the wheels of her own magnificent progress." And more than that. We had the best market that was known on earth; a market which consumed nearly our entire product. Now It is rather refreshlng^for us Republican*- here tonight to remember that while this magnificent progres of our prosper- ity, while this splendid home market may not be traceable to Republican legislation, it has all been secured under Republican legislation alone. The home market worked badly In one respect.

It led our manufacturers, our business on to a contentment which was liable to be disastrous; a contentment with Its own to the neglect of forlegn markets, their necessities and their conditions. But we had a bitter experience—a terrible teacher, but a faithful one—and from 1893 forward for the next five or six years we learned that we must have a foreign market; we learned that our product was one- quarter greater than we could consume. We knew that the product must be sold abroad, or crab-like this republic molt progress backward. Its decadence hid started without a foreign market How could it be found? It was not an easy problem. Our competitors the world over were strongly entrenched in every commercial port. They Bad subsidiied steamship lines reaching everywhere; they had long established busineu agencies; they had banking facilities; they had a familiar knowledge and ac- qulntance with all the conditions of foreign trade, and yet we started Into the solution of the problem with courage and hope.

If you remember, the manufacturer! of the United States, formed an association embracing In its membership every state in the Union. That association; was formed for one purpose and that was to solve this problem of how to obtain foreign markets for our manufactured goods. They sent agents Into every nation of the world. Then, shortly after that the Philadelphia Museum was formed, whose only purpose was to give Information to manufacturers and business men of this country as to how and where exports can be sent and In what manner. That Is holding now In Philadelphia. It has done splendid work. Then an American-Asiatic association was formed to investigate trade In the Orient. Then an American-Chi- nese association was formed to investigate our trans-continental Chlnfeft trade. They sent their agents abroad The result was that last year we Im- ported In round numbers $767,000,00* I worth of goods. We exported in round numbers $1,340,000 worth. The balance j of trade In our favor was over $506,- 000, payable In gold.

FOOT BALL Boston College 6; P. A. o.

Ilrawn and good team play, aided by the partiality of a poor referee defeated Andover in the Boston College contest here Wednesday afternoon, by a score of o to 0. In the centre of the line Boston College had a formidable trio whose combined weight was 7BO pounds, and it was through this spot in the line that the visitors made most of their gains, aside from a long run by Hart in the first half between Andover's right tackle and end, from which a touchdown was soon obtained, and two runs by Mcl.'er- mott in the second half around Kafferty's end, both of them.

Thrice when Boston College had the pigskin within striking distance of P. A's uoal, the academy boys held their heavy opponents; twice Murphy tried for a goal by a place kick from the field and missed and Andover promptly punted or rushed the ball out of danger.

'In the first -half Andover.-defei.ded the west «oal. Boston College, kicked off to M even* on Andover's ten yard line, he made 5 yards. Stevens kicked to the centre of the field. After making a few short gains through tackles and guards and trying a trick play which Bloomer took care of with a loss to the runner, Boston College punted to Mackay win. fumbled, but Bloomer fell on the ball. Stevens panted 30 yards and the collegian was downed in his tracks. Then came Hart's run of 35 yards and in a few more plays directed at centre and guards. Me- Cusker went over for a touchdown and Kichards kicked the goal. Score, Boston College b"; Andover 0.

After the kickoff, Boston College was soon forced to punt and Andover worked the ball to B. C.'s 35-yard line but was forced to kick. Murphy returned the ball to Stevens in the next play, and the latter made 10 yards. A steady hammer- ing at the tackles by Collins and Stevens took the ball to Boston College's 12-yard line when Bloomer was given the ball for a try through the other tackle. He fumbled but Brown rescued the ball and was downed on the 2-yard line. Keferee White said the ball was dead and called it back giving it to Boston College on downs. The decision was greeted by general dissatisfaction and was not correct in the opinion of Umpire steams. Boston College soon took the ball out of danger and the half ended with it in her possession.

In the second half the ball changed hands frequently and was fumbled by Stevens at a critical moment which placed the ball within striking distance of Andover's goal and Murphy soon tried for a goal from the field. Andover punted out from the 15-yard line and McCarrou made 5 yards. McDermott got in one of his long runs but was nailed by Collins on the 10-yard line. Andover took a brace and held for downs and Stevens kicked to the 35-yard line. Mc- Dermott, aided by excellent interference immediately made his second 25 yard run and was tackled by Stevens on the 10-yard line. Andover held again and Murphy tried once more for a goal from the field but failed. Stevens fell on the ball on the 2-yard line and Collins began to make 5-yard gains through right tackle, and with the assistance of Mackay the ball was brought back to the centre ofthe field where Andover* lost it on a fumble. The half ended with the ball in Boston College's possession on Andover's 25-yard line.

All of the Andover team played well and showed the effects of their recent hard coaching. Boston College had good team work, two speedy dodging half- backs in McDermott and Hart ami a g.MHl ground gainer in Murphy.

Mrs. Stanford, of Califor- nia, and the university—built by the Stanford* in memory of their son—is another contribution of remarkable value, Illustrated with some rare family portraits. Ainstee's Magazine, In "Corn Is King," by John Gilmer Speed, offers another example of the policy of presenting the right kind of an article at the right moment. John Gilmer Speed not only shows Just why Corn Is King, but also supplies some very interesting bits of Information on the particular uses of corn In the various parts of our country.

Here's The

Range for your new home or (or any

housekeeper who takes pride

in her kitchen and wants to Make Housekeeping Easy.

IGLENWOOD! ,-- George Saunders, Andover, Mass.

♦ * <3oo6 Cooker? « *

SAVORY CHEESE DISHEa

With the arrival of cool weather, the housekeeper may plan for many dishes that were unsuitable for the summer nests. More need Is felt of warmth and force producers and It must be the effort of the house mother to supply these in due quantities. The task is comparatively easy for those who are able to spend money freely In the purchase Of meat», but where a certain measure of economy is necessary, the family caterer must make brains take the place of means in choosing appetizing and r.ourishlhg foods.

The majority of housewives fail to ap- preciate the valuable properties of cheese fn the dietary. The general Idea is that cooked cheese is unwholesome, and about the very name of a Welsh rarebit gathers an association of mtd- nlght suppers and consequent Indiges- tion that tabooes it as an article for family consumption. The trouble lies, however, not so much with the Welsh rarebit as with the time and circumstances In which it is eaten. Cheese Is a highly concentrated form of nourishment,—one pound of it being equal to three of meat. The result to the digestion may be im- agined when a generous portion of it is put into a stomach already weary with the labors of the day, at an hour when the owner of that unhappy organ is unable to take the exercise which would assist the gastric powers In the work of assimilation.

Cheese, properly cooked, and eaten by well persons, who are leading .physically active lives, need not prove unwholesome. It is always mortseaslty dg^stei if mingled with starches In which It Is itself lacking, and which the palate craves. This is the philosophy of serving Welsh rarebit on toast. When the rarebit is well made it may be eaten at luncheon or even at a Sunday night supper without fear of direful consequences. More wholesome, however, is a cheese fondu or a cheese pudding in which the starchy crumbs are mingled and blended with the cheese.

CHEESE FONDU. Melt a tablespoonful of butter in a

double boiler, add to it a cupful of milk, a scant cupful of fresh white hread-crumbs and two cupfuls of grated cheese. Use the ordinary soft full cream cheese. Cover and let all cook together until the cheese is thoroughly melted. Stir In then two well-beaten eggs, cook until the mixture Is creamy In color and begins to thicken, add salt to taste and a dash of cayenne pepper, and serve on crackers or toast.

This la excellent made in a chafing dish.

CHEESE PUDDING. Heat a pint of milk In a double boil-

er with a tiny pinch of baking soda. As soon as it is warm put In one cupful of bread crumbs and let them soak for ten or fifteen minutes. Beat two eggs light, add these and a tablespoonful of butter to the bread and milk, and then stir in a cupful of grated cheese. Season to taste with salt and red pepper, and turn into a pudding dish. Bake in a quick oven, covered, for fifteen minutes uncover and brown. It must be eaten as soon as It Is done, as it falls very quickly.

WELSH RAREBIT. (Irate or shave a half-pound of soft

cheese. Melt a tablespoonful of butter In a double boiler or In a chafing dish ever boiling water, and put with It a gill of hot water and the cheese. Cover, and while they are melting,, mix in a saucer or cup a teaspoonful of celery salt, a saltsnoonful of dry mustard and a pinch of cayenne pepper. In another cup have ready a teaspoonful each of lemon-Juice and Worcestershire sauce. As foon as the cheese has melted to smoothness put In the dry seasoning. and then beat in two eggs, whipped very light. When these are well blended with the cheese,—in about three minutes, and you must stir all the time after they go in,—add the Worcestershire and lemon-Juice, and serve the rarebit at once, upon toast.

The directions for this may sound a little elaborate, but the rarebit will be found delicious, and possesses the great merit of never becoming stringy.

CHEESE SCRAMBLED EGGS. Grate two tablespoonfuls of rather

dry* ( heese. Melt a tablespoonful of butter In a frying-pan, beat six eggs light, add the cheese to them, and turn Into the frying-pan, beat six eggs light, add the cheese to them, and turn into the frying-pan. Stir until the mixture Is thick and smooth, season to taste with salt and red pepper, and serve at once upon toast or hot crackers.

BAKED CHEESE OMELETS. Beat six eggs light, the whites and

the yolks together. Stir Into them a half cupful of milk, two tablespoonfuls of grated cheese, a half-teaspoonful of salt and a pinch of pepper. Grease well patty-pans or custard cups, half fill them with the mixture, set fn a pan of hot water and bake covered until firm. Turn

them out on a hot platter. They are very good with a white sauce or a good gravy poured over them, but they may be eaten without this.

GOLDEN BUCK. Melt a tablespoonful of butter In a fry-

ing-pan, and stir Into it three cupfulg of grated or shaved cheese. As soon as It begins to become thoroughly melted, put In hot water. Stir until,the mixture Is thick and smooth, add a saltspoonful each of salt and dry mustard, and serve on rounds of hot buttered toast At the moment the cheese Is done, there should be ready a poached egg for each person who Is to partake of the dish and every round of toast with Its proportion of the cheese should have, one of the eggs served upon it. This dish will be In- jured by standing for even a few moments. It Is therefore a good plan to make the cheese part Of It in a chafing- dish, and have the eggs prepared In the kitchen and brought In Just at the In- stant Svhen they are required. * CHRISTINE TERHUNE HERRICK.



ASPARAGUS TIMBALES. Cut Into one-half Inch pieces the ten-

Stir carefully; add two tablespoonfuls of cream, and let cook a little. Then add the beaten yolk of r egg. 'Keniove from the fire, add a little salt and pepper.

Grease a two- quart baking dish with butter, put In A quart of cherries, stoned and sweetened to taste, cover with the mixture and bake In a moderate oven -15 minutes.

The lecture l»y Mr. Tolnian under the awtpioes of the A, V. I. H., sliould interest every home lover in Andover, and are there any citizens who are not home lovers? "How to U-autitv Andover yards" is a theme that cannot fail in providing very profitable discussion, and we are |mrticularly fortunate that Rich a master as Mr. Tolman i«. to discuss it.

Tha great roitflirt in South Africa niak«*s JJr. Howker's illustrated story on the T'nuiHvaal of very deep Interest at just thi- time, and Andover people an; very fortunate in the opportunity tilforded to hear it. There should lie a large audience to greet this great traveller ami brilliant lecturer in his coming course.

If something cannot Is* done to im prove the efficiency and" accuracy <»f (he Andover lire alarm, it will soon become a public nuisance instead of a public convenience.

FIGHT FOR SENATORIAL HONORS A Stirring Contest in the Local District between

Currier and Sargent.

Not for many years have the two |>arties seen such a stirring contest for Senatorial honors in the Sixth Essex District as that which is waging now. On

the Republican side is the successful candidate of last year, the Hon. C. F. Sar gent, while the Democratic nominee is one of the brightest ami cleverest young

men of the District, Guy W. Currier of Methuen. Party lines are bound to be thrown aside by sup;>arteta of both candidates

and the contest promises not to be settled until the last vote is counted. Brief

sketches of the two candidates are sure to be of interest, and they are presented herewith.^

Dow. Last year he was nominated and elected over C. F. Sullivan by a large majority.

Mr. Sargent has been a very active legislator, introducing many bills on many subjects, and while few of them became laws, he has always been anxious to do everything jMissibie to strengthen himself with his constitu- ents. Unlike his present opponent, he is a great talker. He has always been identified with the Sons of Veterans,

i and state military affairs, l>eing now I the senior first-lieutenant of Battery C [ in Lawrence.

Mr. Sargent does but little law [practice, devoting his entire time to I lus work as a legislator. He is popular [with ii)any classes, and is prominent in f many of the secret and beneficiary societies, the members of which have

' often aided in advancing his political fortunes.

While his opponent, will probably draw some republican votes from him, he will in turn be sure to attract some democratic support.

He id a member of the Essex bar, but gives but little time to the law, his large, real estate holdings occupying him very fully.

Mr. Currier is now a resident <if Me- thuen, but is oneoi the largest real estate own -is i.i Lawrence, his work the pant few yt ars Iteing devoted to the development of the suburbs of Lawrence, the Berkeley street extension in that city being a notable illustration of his business enterprise and taste as a builder.

| Mr. Currier is a director in the Bay State bank, Lawrence, and is one of the

Real Daughter of Revolutionary Soldier.

Mrs. I.o/.iua Goldsmith Waldo, born In Andover, Jan. 21, 1818, whose father was a Revolutionary soldier, has just joined the John Adams chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution, Boston. Every new member who is a real daughter of a Revolutionary soldier is presented with a beautiful souvenir snpon when she joins .the society. Mrs. Waldo is the only real member of the John Adams chapter and the society presented her with one of these spoons last Tuesday, through her niece, Miss M. Elizabeth (jiddinga of this place.

This souvenir spoon, adopted by the society of the Daughters of the American Revolution, has a heart shaped bowl, while the handle la modelled to represent the distaff and flax of a spinning- wheel. The obverse side shows the flax secured at the head of the distaff by a ribbon, which falls gently down each side, and upon which appears the motto of the Society, "Home and Country." Almost midway down the staff the flax is gradually parted, revealing a woman of Revolutionary times seated at a spinning-wheel, just above her head is a shower of thirteen Btars, (one for each of the original States in the I'nlon.) The flax, uniting at the base of the vignette, ailhears to the distaff until it reaches the lips of the heart, where the threads very naturally divide and gracefully curl off into the bowl, forming the initial letters of the Society,—D. A. R. The reverse, in addition to modelled suggestions of heart, distaff and flag, represents an artistic shield supporting an eagle, in whose beak is carried the olive branch of peace. The design is eminently perti- nent, as well as effective, while the workmanshiu is of the highest order.

Mrs. Waldo is also a real daughter of the Pheobe Foxcroft Phillips chapter of the Daughters of the Revolution of An- dover. Her father was Jeremiah Waldo, husband of Sarah. Fired with the valor of youth and stimulated by paternal example, he showed his devotion to the cause of American Independence by en- listing, as a drummer boy in Captain Abbott's company of the army in Cam- bridge, December ft, 1115. He remained in service throughout the war, and at the surrender of Burgoyne stood within a few yards of Gen'l Gates. His graphic description of this historical event is remembered to this day by many who listened to- it from his lips. He was a government pensioner from 1H31 until his death in 1842. Mrs. Waldo also had two grandfathers who served in the American army during the Revolutionary war, William Goldsmith of Andover. and Joseph Converse of Bedford.

The house which was burned last August, situated on the Boston turnpike "over the hill," was built by Jeremiah Waldo in 1X07 or thereabouts and was used for some time as an inn. l.o/.ina »iis born in this house and lived here for liiany years. The house was later sold to a family by the name of Skinner and alter having been occupied by others, was repurchased by the Waldos and lias since been in their isissessiou. Mrs. Waldo is now living with her daughters, Miss Mary 1'. Waldo and Mrs. Abbie Russell. .Now in her TSth year, the subject of this article has been confined to the house for some time and is not aide to ai tend any of the meetings of thesoci- e;ies to which she belongs, therefore the presentation of the SISHMI was made to hef at her home in the Scotland district.

Selectman William G. Goldsmith is in- limatch' related to Mrs. Waldo.

Hear Dr. Bowker on the Transvaal.

The great prominence of South Africa just now, on the political horizon of European nations and the one sided conflict between the British and Boer gives a special timeliness to the opening lecture in Dr. Bowker's lecture series, which is assigned to the Transvaal, of which and the other South African states he made a careful study.

He does not confine himself to that republic only, but gives a broad description of Natal and Cape Colony and the gold lands of Witwaters rand.

This lecture also includes a description of the far-famed diamond mines of Klmberley and the method of obtaining the precious stones is fully illustrated by new and rare views; a character'sketch of Cecil Rhodes, Barnato and Mr. Kruger who dares to defy England.

The second lecture on Spain is a care- • ful estimate of the people and conditions I of that land and the subject taken from i a different point of view than I hat. held , by most lecturers on this exceptionally j interesting theme. Dr. Bowker not only knows Spanish well, but he knows Spanish people thoroughly both in Spain, the Canaries, Mexico and the Spanish si>eaking countries of South America. It is in this lecture that he pays a short visit to the Great fortress reck of Gib- raltar which is amply illustrated with pictures no longer obtainable as England allows no more photographs taken of these defences that have cost so many millions of pounds. The conclusion of this talk is devoted to the AJhambra which is hliowii by more thus thirty superb views.

Hawaii, the Paradise of the Pacific, concludes the course and is said to be the wittiest of them all.

This lecture Is brilliantly illustrated and includes Dr. Bowker's personal rec- ollections of the Robert Ixmis Stevenson family. The sale of seats opens Satur- day at the Andover Bookstore.

and if so, WhyP Among those who spoke on this topic were Henry Flint, Charles L. Bailey, Joshua H. Chandler, Samuel Henry Bailey, Edward Bout- well, James M. Putman, E. W. Burtt, George L. Burnbam and Frank H. Hardy.

The home of Mr. and Mrs. Edward W. Burtt was the scene ot a pleasant anniversary gathering last evening, the 26th return of their marriage day. Nearly 73 of their relatives and friends from Andover, Lawrence and Lowell gathered to extend their congratulations to the host and hostess, who received In the parlor. Beautiful decorations of evergreen, smilax and chrysanthemums lent a festive touch to the house and refreshment tables. Ice cream and chocolate were served to the guests during the reception hour from 8 o'clock until 10. The many lovely presents of silver ware and china received by Mr. and Mrs. i,urtt occupied a prominent place where tbev could be seen and ad- mired.

We hope that every one read last week's " Townsman" through to the last column, and saw Mrs. Downs' interesting account of the lecture to be given by Mr. Win. H. Tolnian, secretary of the Social Service league of New York, who will by beautiful pictures and clear explan- ations show how Dayton, Ohio, was transformed, and how Andover door- yards can be made more attractive with comparatively small cost.

The-di rectors of the Andover Village Improvement Society take pleasure in announcing that Mr. Tolmau will give this illustrated lecture at the Town Mall, On Tuesday evening, November 14, at 8 o'clock. Doors to be open at 7.30. Tickets 16 cts. They hope that Mr. Tol- mau may have a large audience and equally appreciative with those In Edin- burgh, Liverpool, and Bryn Mawr. ami that everybody will come to hear his good suggest imis.

Much interest wu taken In the annual fall handicap track meet and claw relay races held on the upper campus at Phil- lips Academy last Monday afternoon c# nhown by the large list of entries and Kood attendance. No remarkably fast time was made owing to a heavy track but many of the men gave promise of being very speedy. The daxhes, especially the middle distance-*, brought out a large field and some good sprinting.

The class relay race was very interesting, the work of Botch ford and fates of 'OS in cioMing up the distance lost by Well*, was especially noticeable. Had

ONLY ONE GORE FOR SCROFULA.

S. S. S. is the Only Remedy Equal to this Obstinate Disease.

There are dozens of remedies recommended for Scrofula, some of them no doubt being able to afford temporary relief, but S. 8. S. is absolutely the onlj remedy which completely cures it. Scrofula isone of the most obstinate, deep-seated blood diseases, and is beyond the reach of the many so-called purifiers and tonics because something more than a mere tonic Is required. 8.8. H.

is equal to any blood trouble, and never fails to cure Scrofula, because it goes down to the seat of the disease, thus permanently eliminating every trace of theUint. r^ '

The serious consequences to which Scrofula surely leads should impress upon those afflicted with it the vital importance of wasting no time upon treatment which can not possibly effect a cure. In many cases where the wrong treatment has been relied upon, complicated glandular swellings hare resulted, for which the doctors insist that a dangerous surgical operation is necessary.

Mr. H. E. Thompson, of Mi I leJge ville, Ga., writes: "A bad case of Scrofula broke out on the glands of my neck, which had to be lanced and caused me much suffering. I was treated for a long while, bat the physicians »«re unable to core me, ana my condition was as bad as when I began their treatment Many blood remedies were used, but without effect. Someone recommended S. 8. 8., and I began to improve as soon as I had taken a few bottles. Continuing the remedy, I waa soon cured permanently, and have never had a Bign of the disease to return." Swift's Specific—

S. S. S. FOR THE BLOOD —Is tire only remedy which can promptly reach and cure obstinate, deep-seated blood diseases. By relying upon it, and not experimenting with the various so-called tonics, etc., all sufferers from blood troubles can Ira promptly cured, instead of enduring years of Buffering which gradually but surely undermines the constitution. S. 8. 8. is guaranteed purely vegetable, and never fails to cure Scrofula, Eczema, Cancer, Bheamatism, Contagious Blood Poison, Boils, Tetter, Pimples, Sores, Ulcers, e(c. Insist upon S S S.; nothing can take its place.

MR. THOMAS AT LYNN.

LYNN, Oct. 23—Postmaster Henry A. Thomas of Boston, accompanied by Dr. Harris of Brookllne, arrived in this city this afternoon. They were driven to a private residence, where Col. Thomas will remain fpr some time.

This evening. Col. Thomas and the physician took a long walk, and to The Globe reporter the postmaster said that he never felt better in his life and for some time past had been enjoying good health.

Dr. Harris says that Col. Thomas Is Improving constantly. It Is the Inten- tion of Col Thomas and the physician to remain In this city for some time, as they are pleasantly located, and the postmaster may enjoy the seashore or woods, as a great deal of their time here will be spent In the open air.

During the winter of 1807 Mr. James Reed, one of tbe leading citizens and merchants of Clay, Clay Co., W. Va., struck his leg against a cake of Ice in such a manner aa to bruise it severely. It became very much swollen and pained him so badly that he could not walk without the aid of crutches. He was treated by physicians, also used several kinds of liniment and two and a half gallona of whisky in bathing it, but nothing gave any relief until he began using Chamberlain's Pain Balm. This brought almost a complete cure in a week's time and he believes that had he not used this remedy his leg would have had to be amputated. Pain Balm is un- equaled for sprains, bruise* and rheumatism. For sale by Arthur Bias, An- dover, and C. H. Shattuck, HallaTilvale

C U. KSITZ. till ■#*«■*■ St. Sfous City, Is

Sir Henry Irving laid the memorial stone of a new theatre In Lower Brough ton, a populous suburb of Manchester. Sir Henry said:

"I have come here today with the keenest pleasure to take part In this ceremony, for wherever I hear of a foundation stone of a new theatre I always want to lay It, and rejolca over It as a hen does over an egg. You will gather from this that 1 am a bit of an enthusiast on this subject. For many years now I have been preaching the theatre, not only from the standpoint of art, but also on sound social policy. I have always contended that a well- conducted playhouse Is a centre af rational recreation, and without rational recreation no community can pretend to have Its faculties In proper order. I know that when we talk about the theatre In relation to general education some wise person is sure to start up* and ask whether a particular piece of stage-work—always chosen in this connection for certain defects of matter or tasle—is the kind of thing on which we base the educational pretensions of ths drama. The answer Is very simple. We take the drama broadly—Just a* wa take the literature of Action—and maintain that it's Influence tends to provide a fund of rational amusement which, making due allowance for the Imper- fections of human nature. Is productive of social benefit.

There Is a class of people who tell you this Is all very well, but there Is too much human nature In tbe drama. If so, then there Is too much of It In tbe novel, and a great deal too much of It in the newspaper. If you. are going In for the suppression of all public mani- festations of human nature you hal better shut up the circulating library, and make the publication of newspa- pers a penal offence. But really this branch of controvery Is rather barren, and I am half ashamed to mention It here. I don't apologize for this foundation atone. I believe It is a real contribution to the spread of tbe humanities, of those artistic amnetles of life which lighten the burden of daily toll with the play of sympathy and Imagination. In a country like Germany this is taken for granted. Nobody there Is caleld upon to Justify the theatre, for It Is In- timately associated with the life and traditions of tbe people. In Englsnd we are not quite so rations!, for 1 continue to receive letters from young men men who tell me they sre about to take part In a debate on tbe question "Is play-going conslsten with Christian morals?"—and ask m* to supply them with arguments In the af- firmative, gome day I hope play going will, ceake to be a bone of contention In mutual Improvement societies, or become a purely historical and academic topic of discussion, like the execution of Charles I. I look to this foundation

I stone as a means to that desirable end. The multiplication of theatres, I am glad to say, goes on space: snd that you should desire a theatre here In

I Broughton, in spite of the counter attractions of Manchester. Is a worthy tribute to your public spirit."
