This proves their popularity. It also shows that customers who delay leaving their order until the last moment most meet disappointment.

Notice.

The half term of the Abbott Village Coal society will commence Friday evening, April 1st.

Be sure and hear Arts aud Crafts, at house, April 5, 11*04, at 7.4S. The lecture is free to alt and is an unusual opportunity to hear a very interesting speaker upon a topic which is becoming a vital one.

i "Russia" is the subject for Dr. Bowker's lecture in the Town hall on next Friday evening. April 8. Dr. Bowker is a well known lecturer and he needs no words of commendation. Dancing will follow the lecture. Tickets may be secured at the Andover Bookstore, O. P. Chase's, Allen's Phar- macy or from members of the committee and may be exchanged for reserved seats on or after today.

The out'ook for the horse business this spring in New England is exceedingly bright aud prosperous. The dealers look forward to a very brisk trade and intend doing a large amount of advertising. The Boston Horse Market Association has adopted the Boston Herald as their official advertising medium, and all horse sales will appear exclusively in The Herald.

It is seldom an opportunity is given to hear such an able speaker as Dr. Bowker on a subject of such universal interest, as presents itself on April Hth, at the Town ball. The Committee are snaring no expense to make this occasion a fitting ending of a successful season. The exchange of tickets for reserved seat checks commenced this morning at the Bookstore, and it is hoped that all will avail themselves of this privilege before the 8th and avoid the difficulties of doing so at the box office on the night of the lecture.

They returned to the engine house but were recalled about 4 o'clock by the occupants as a safe guard. The loss will be slight.

There is more Catarrh in this section of the country than all other diseases put together, and until the last few years it was supposed to be incurable. For a great many years doctors pronounced it a local disease aud prescribed local remedies, and by constantly failing to cure with local treatment, prouounced it incurable. Science has proven catarrh to be a constitutional disease and therefore requires constitutional treatment. Hall's Catarrh Cure, manufac- tured by F. J. Cheney A Co., Toledo, Ohio, is the only constitutional cure on the market. It is taken internally in dofes from 10 drops to a teaspoouful. It acts directly on the blood and mucous surfaces of the system. They offer one hundred dollars for any case it fails to cure. Send for circulars and testimonials. Address,

The deceased brothers were wood choppers and lived in a hut near Lowell junction and came to their untimely end by drinking wood alcohol. Three other near relatives have also died recently through intemperance. Such sad facts should serve as warnings and danger signals to all.

BEST COUGH MEDICINE CHILDREN.

When you buy a cough medicine for small children you want one in which

I you can place implicit confidence. You I want one that not only relieves but I cares. You want one that is unques- | tionably harmless. You want one that

is pleasant to take. Chamberlain's Cough Remedy meets all of these conditions. There is nothing so good for the I coughs aad colds incident to childhood. It is also a certain preventive and cure for croup, and there is no danger whatever from whooping cough when it is given. It has been used in many epi- demics of that disease with perfect success.

Take a Rexall Dyspepsia Tablet each evening and you'll do three times as nuch work the next day. It will put jour stomach right, fret your bow*els into condition and fill your arteries with food blood.

Dear Sir: The way to reckon the cost I of paint is to put both costs together: ; the cost of the paint and the cost of put- | ting it on.

It would save this country hundreds of millions of dollars a year; it would

; save you alone (if you happen to he a : victim) several dollars a year. | See hpw it works. It costs as much to ' put on one paint as another, don't it? j Yes, if you use the same number of I gallons.

Well, don't I? a * No, youjl use twice as many gallons of

adulterated paint as of Devoe; and you've got to pay twice as milch for putting it on.

Mr.- N. Avery, Delhi, N. Y., has two bouses alike and in same condition. Painted one house with Devoe: 0 gallons. Painted the other house-with a paint f:h»* T";*"'**.*^t**M**^'***2v'»12gallons. >Same painter, Geo. Gilbert, did both jobs. One cost $27; the other $54. Hettei go by the name.

Yours truly, ) \t

New England's Depression.

President Charles S. Mellcn of the New York. New Haven and Hartford

Charles S. Mellen. no prejudice

against organized labor and that he has always found Its leaders reasonable and fair. He predicts a rapid change from steam to electricity as a means of railroad locomotion.

Bully's Bankruptcy Forced. On application of creditors the court

at New York appointed receivers for the tirm of the ex-cotton king, Daniel J. Sully, March 22, while he was still negotiating for a settlement. He charged treachery and owned up to being beaten; said he didn't own the clothes he had on. It was thought that the total liabilities of the fallen cotton king would be slightly under $3,000,- 000 and that the assets would come to about $1,800,000.

The Railroad Trust Quits. The plan for dissolving the Northern

Securities company was made public by President Hill on .March 2.', the very day that the decree of the supreme court Invalidating the big merger was delivered to hint at New York. It was in the form of a circular letter to stockholders, reciting the court's aetion and insisting that the trust was formed In the belief that it was not obnoxious to any law.an opinion shared by four of the justices.

The company's existence is continued until the distribution of stock is completed and bills are paid by retaining 1 per cent in the treasury. The other 99 per cent of the capital stock comprising the stocks of the constit- uent railroads is returned to,its former holders. Each share of Northern Securities gets $45.16 in Northern Pa- cific and $54.27 In Great Northern During the we?k the trading in the trust's stocks was active and the price upward.

World's Fair Labor Problem.

Eastern agents of the St. Louis fair manager* a^e actively seeking nonunion laborers in order to meet wkat are said to be the extortionate Je- mamls of the union in St. Louis. The central union there has made a special scale of wages during the period of the exposition. Kor Instance, waiters are to have nn advance of from $0 to $10 and musicians are to get $45 a week for four hours a day with $1.50 for extra time.

Tin and Steel Wage Cut.

A cut of 18 per cent In last year's wage scale, was submitted to the tin anil steel lodges of the Amalgamated association. President Shaffer of the tssoclation is said to be In favor of ac- eptlng the reduction, which Is caused

by commercial stringency and competition in the trade. It is expected that this will enable some of the Idle mills to start up. This proposition was substituted for a 20 per cent cut to avoid a conflict.

SATURDAY CANDY POUND BOX

29c.

A few weeks ago we published a communication upon the athletic In- terest! of the town. The very excellent suggestion wan made that it was time to gather up all the different and contrary interests into one well directed athletic association. We are glad U> announce that step-* will be taken within the next fortnight to bring about 'such a tiling, and it is hoped, to interest

[ very many Andover people in the I movement. We look upon the step to I consolidate the different clubs, and to give to tin* sports of the !>oys a more

j intelligent direction, a* something that I should interest a much wider circle ! than the boy* themselves. This is the [ baseball season. In the town are a ■ half dozen clubs or so, all with their ! friends, and all containing some excel- ; lent players.

The available grounds can accomnic- ; date only one game at a time for the I first part of the season, and there must ] be harmony among all the clubs if | each is to get his proper share of attention.

Many older « boya" are interested in the sports of the juniors, and would like to see good teams developed for their own pride and pleasure. To do this the "old boys" who are out of the games must come in with the young ones who are desirous of getting in.

Talk it up the next few days, and then let us all get together and work out of our new athletic field and our healthy s|n-rt loving boys, an intelligent, hearty, and worth while season of athletics for 1904.

We tell you this In remarkable candy at the price—That the name grade will cunt you a great deal more elsewhere—That Saturday Candy, for quality ami price, Is in a class by itself.

We know you will believe this, because yuu know we do not make nitfl-statements.

We guarantee that when ytui buy Saturday Candy you will not only he satisfied, but surprised.

Saturday Candy Is made fresh every week to our order. We make our own selection, and know thai every piece In the box Is fresh mid wholesome.

Never before have we been able to offer soclthlgh grade candy, put up so attractively at such, a moderate price.

There 1A no profit for us in this candy . there can be but little profit for the manufacturer.

The Easter Gift Season.

The growth of the gift, idea at Easter has almost brought about a second Christmas season among oertnin,classes of our iieopli-. The giving of Mowers lias long been a delightful custom, but tlie wealth; have become dissatisfied with that form of giving alone, and so we find the richer class of shops displaying almost as many kinds of Easter gifts as they are wont to do for the Christinas trade.

We cannot help feeling some regret that the gift making for this season should spread out to include anything except the beautiful flowers which hale so long been the fitting emblem of tie Easter time. Silver buckles ami cit glass pieces may be very beautiful, bjt they can never "carry such sweet sav.r of an Easter greeting 119 is breafhed forth fronr the bunch of violets or tlie fragrant carnations.

The ninth annual .ioldaraitb prize speaking waa held in Punchard hall laat Friday evening. The hall waa completely filled and the interest which waa shown proves that the annual prize speaking ia a prominent part of the school life.

The principal, Alton W. Peirce, presided and the Punchard Glee club assitited in the exercises by singing a number of pieces in a very creditable manner. The latter were under the leadership of' Miss Hoar, instructor in music.

All the speakers were heartily received by the audience and were applauded for their efforts. The subjects were well chosen and the deliverance was up to the standard of excellence of high school oratory and the decision ot the judges, although difficult, was generally conceded to be correct.

Two speakers from each class, previously selected, composed the aspirants and it was evident that considerable preparation had been made for the occasion.

The committee of award comprised William a. Goldsmith, Judge George H. Poor and Mrs. Howell F. Wilson. While the 'udges were out a quartet consisting of liases Alice Cox,-Charlotte Cox, Helen Eaton and Grace I., limit rendered a number of selections. Mias Jeannie Donovan also gave a violin solo in a pleasing manner.

Judge Poor as chairman for the committee of award presented the prizes to Miss Alice Wintiiefred Symonds and Walter Herbert Thompson.

Obituary

PATRICK HODNETT.

The sudden death of Patrick Hodnett, which occurred at his home on North Main street last Sunday morning at 8 o'clock, was a severe blow to the family as it was so entirely unexpected. His health had been perfect up to Saturday night when he was taken suddenly ill and passed away in the presence of his family on Sunday.

Mr. Ilodnet t was born in Ireland about 58 years ago and lived there for many years. In 1H84 he came to this country and immediately settled in Andover. His first home was on Cuba street but later be built a house on North Main street where he has since resided.

About two years ago he was seriously injured while in the employ of the town but he entirely recovered and had since resumed his former occupation. It is thought, however, that this accident might have let! up to his death, which is the opinion of the attending physician.

The deceased is survived by a wife, six daughters, Mrs. Patrick Daly, Mrs. Daniel Haley and Misses Nellie, Mary, Lizzie and Nora, and one son, Kichard Hodnett.

Funeral services were held at St. Aug- ustine's church, Tuesday morning at 0 o'clock. A solemn high mass of requiem was celebrated, with Kev. Kr. Locke as celebrant. Rev. ,Fr. Fields of Lawrence, deacon, and Rev. Fr. McGowan, sub- deacon. At the offertory William J. Mahoney sang "Pie Jesu," and at the close of the mass M. .1. Mahoney rendered "I love to Hear My Saviour's Voice." Burial was in St. Augustine's cemetery.

The pall bearers were: James Hag- gerty, James Eldred, John Schofield, Daniel Moynahan of Haverhill, Timothy Sullivan and Cornelius Sweeney. The tloral tributes were numerous and beautiful.

BEACH SOAP COMPANY LAWRENCE, MASS.

Although grateful for the selection by my fellow townsmen, of the very ancient and honorable name I bear, in the list of candidates for election honors, my con- victions in regard to the efficacy of female suffrage as a relief to the present state of affairs political, and my inability to work in a "gang," compel me to refuse this honor forced upon me without my knowledge or consent.

In considering the matter of a substitute, I wish to recommend some man, who will bring order and harmony into anv council where the well known Abbott individuality is in the majority. My first choice was one of three bachelors (made a shining mark under the im- pending revision of the tax lists) who might hope for a rebate In view of service on said committee, and who had won my regard in my lusiness career, as giving the longest credit in emer- gencies—Mr. T. A. H-t, Mr. O. P. <j e( Mr. G. D. M 1, (the last having a perennial interest in convert- ing ash heaps into flower beds.)

Finally, fearing that the licme and business training of these worthy single men. had not been such as to fit them to cope with the Abbott obstinacy and pluck In carrying a point, I recalled a friend whose diplomacy and reticence I have greatly respected, as in our many discussions" on town matter*, he had seemed to possess the wit te conceal his real opinions, while Ulowisg me to air my own in full. Feeing fiat he would best fill the place I am not by nature fitted for, and with hie courteous consent, I present the mine of Mr. Barnett Rogers, Justice of the Peace.

Golfer for Andover.

j The Dundee (Scotland) Evening Pont ; of March 12 contains the following, I which will interest many local golfers:

A prominent Mont rose golfer in , the person of Norman Clark is to de-

part next Friday for Andover, a town about twenty-live miles from Boston, V. S. A., where he has secured an appointment as professional to tie local club. Clark's coming departure will be learned of in Mont- roee golfing circles with regret, but It will be, at the same time, received wits a mingling of some satisfaction in that it shows that the merits of Mout rose golfers are recognized across the Atlantic.

A club maker by trade, Clark's loss .to Montroee golf will be great.' He k a first-class player, with an attractive style, and for the past five yeaaj has been a leading member of the Mercantile club, taking a very protiinent part in every important competition. In the local champion- shit shield tournament he has been a very dangerous opponent, and it onlj remains to be said that the best

i wishes of Norman's numerous acquaintances will go with him across "The Herring pond.'' Clark's duties wits his Andover employers will include the teaching of golf and the malting of clubs. In an interview with a prominent golf

player it was learned that Mr. Clark was ctxning here to he caretaker of the links, club maker and instructor. His coinint to this country was on an invitation from one of the members, who met Mr. < lark in Scotland.

MAKING THE APPOINTMENT

It is well to visit a studio in advance of sittings to see thestyles, learn prices, make appointment aid get acquainted.

If possible see th* operator who is to pose you and conveae with him; it will make you feel moe at home when you afterward meet bio under the skylight and if he is an oberver, he will notice characteristics ran which may not be- t ray under the ex Itement of the pict ure taking process, n many studios the operator cannot beseen in advance of sitting and you arecompelled to talk only to the reception clerk—a very poor arrangement for tfe patron.

Before the drf for your appointment, because you mae it an important event, doVI worry as > what you shall wear. or fear the potraits will not be good, etc., else by thitime of your sitting you will be in no condition for an easy, natural pose an* expression. While it is not absolutely lecessary to make an appointment, it i desirable, and one made should be prorptly kept.

A NEW PAPER FROM BOSTON.

Boston has another newspaper. It appeared on the streets last week with circulation figures boldly quoted at

j it.iMMt.Hc_'. itH adveitiHinK rates are not mentioned, although it announces that

| "vegetables will be taken in return for i subscriptions." The newsboys at the j street corner will not be found hawking this eight page periodical which bears the inviting title of tne ('nbhaye Leaf, but the box office at the Park theatre of that city—which is iis seat of publication—will probably be over-run with applications. The Vttbhage Leaf, which seems to have been issued for the benefit of a hungry public, claims to have been "grown on the Cabbage Patch" and, according to the date line, it "sprouts" every Leap Year. II contains all the gossip of the Patch, with editorials, lo- cals, fashion notes, society notes, advertisements, miscellany and just such reading matter as betits this novel conception of a Cabbage Patch publication. Two leading articles which relate respectively how it happened that Mana- ger George Tyler abducted Mrs. Wiggs from the Cabbage Patch and put her in the "theayter" and how the Hazy- Stubbins wedding was celebrated around the hymeneal "halter" in Mrs. Wigga's cottage are written as though they were actual newspaper reports of events, and are full of the color and humor of Alice Began Rice's otiinnal story..,

, Miss Gannon, Sec'y Detroit Amateur Art Association, tells young women what to do to avoid pain and suffering caused by female troubles.

"DEAR MRS. PINK-HAM:—I caacwnscientioiislyreoommendLydlaE, Plnkham's Vegetable Compound to those of my sisters suffering with female weakness and the troubles which so often befall women. I sui- fered for months with general weakness, and felt so weary that I had hard work to keep up. I had shooting pains, and was utterly miserabla In my distress I was advised to use Lydia E. Plnkham's Vegetable Compound, and it was a red letter day to me when I took the first doss, for at that time my restoration began. In six weeks I was a changed woman, perfectly well in every respect. I felt so elated and happy that I want all women who suffer to get well as I did."—Miss GUILA GANJ.-OK, 869 Jones St., Detroit, Mich, Secretary Amateur Art Association.

It Is clearly shown in this young lady's letter that Lydia E. Plnkham's Vegetable Compound will certainly cure the sufferings of women; and when one considers that Miss Gannon's letter Is only one of the countless hundreds which we are continually publishing in the newspapera of this country, the great virtue of Mrs. Pink- ham'a medicine must be admitted by all; <Cnd tor the absolute cure of all kindi of female ills no substitute can poaaibly take its place. Women should bar this important fact in mind when they g-o into a drug store, and be sure not to accept anything that ia claimed to be " just as good'' as Lydia E. Pink- ham's Vegetable Compound, for no other medicine for female Ilia hu

| made ao many actual cures.

How Another Sufferer Was Cured. "DEAR MRS. PTKKHAM: — I cannot praise your wonderful remedial

enough, for they have done me more good than all the doctors I h»T9 had. For the last eight years and more I suffered with female trouhtoi, was- very, weak, could not do my housework, also had nervous prostration. Some days I would remain unconscious for a .whole day and" night. My neighbors thought I could never recover, but, thanks to your medicine, I now feel like a different woman.

"I feel very*frateful to you and will recommend Lydia E/Piak- ham's Vegetable Compound to all. It has now been four years sines

'I had the last spell of nervous prostration. I only weighed ninety- eight pounds at that time ; now I weigh one hundred and twenty-thru.

" I consider your Vegetable Compound the finest remedy made. Thanking you many times for the benefit I received from your medicine, I remain,Yours truly, MRS. J. ft FARMER, 2808 Elliott Are., St. Louis, Ma"

Remember Mrs. Plnkham's advice Is free and all sick women are foolish If they do not ask for It. She speaks from the widen experience, and has helped multitudes of women.

EMINENT DOCTORS PRAISE MUCU-TONE

OW can we measure the importance to mankind of the discovery of an absolute cure for catarrh, that dreaded malady which attacks the mucous membrane or delicate underlining of the skin of the body.

The disease which for years has discouraged scientists — the disease

which numbers 12,000,000 men and women sufferers in the United States alone.

The heads of great hospitals, where scores of catarrhal patients are treated each year, are perhaps in the best position to appreciate the value of a remedy, which working along scientific, intelligent fines, brings permanent cure to even the chronic sufferer.

The staff of physicians of the Suffolk Hospital and Dispensary in Boston, where in less than two years 83,271 patients have registered, do not hesitate to pro- nounce Rexall Mucu-Tone the best cure for catarrh they have ever used.

Albert C Smith is the president and treasurer and the Hon. Chas. J. Noyes and the Hon. James Stevens are- vice-presidents. The secretary is P. H. Wallace, M. D., and the superintendent is W. C. Clarke, M. D.

President Smith's letter should be read by every catarrh sufferer. We print it in full:

" It givei me great satisfaction to report to you that after a most careful trial of Rexall Mucu-Tone, the corps of physicians of our institution agree that this compound is the best curs for catarrh which wo have ever used.

" In all catarrhal diseases of the bronchial 'and nasal passages ; catarrh of the stomach, intestine,, kidneys and bladder ; catarrhal troubles of the gener- ative organs of women, etc.. Mucu-Tone has effected remarkable permanent

" Mucu-Tone seems to act immediately upon the blood and mucous membranes, strengthens their cells and healing the inflammation.

" We shall continue to use this valuable preparation, for nothing cam compare with it in the treatment of catarrh and ita kindred troubles. '

•• Yours very truly, A. C. SMITH, President."

Certainly such testimony as this must convince even the most skeptical—certainly it will justify us in request- ing catarrh sufferers to give Rexall Mucu-Tone a trial; to give it a chance to speak for itself. If you will do this we know you will coi.tinue taking it until cured.

Rexall Mucu-Tone is unlike all other catarrh remedies. It works through the bloodvessels, going direct to the affected part whether in head, throat, stomach, kidneys or bladder; driving out the poisons and healing all inflammations of the mucous membranes. From the very first dose its strengthening influence will be felt and from four to six bottles will effect a complete cure of the worst cases. Your money back if not more that* satisfied.

MRS. VriGG8»8 CHILDREN.

Seldom, indeed does any dramatic production carry with it so many experienced juvenile perfortneis M does "Mrs. Wiggs of the cabbage Patch," the dram- atization of Alice Hegan Rice's delightful stories which lias now entered upon the fifth week of continuous popularity at the Park Theatre, lloston. Children constitute a conspicuous element in a number of the scenes of this diverting character comedy, for it would have been a sad injustice to motherly Mrs. Wlggs and her loving knowledge of childhood to have overlooked the juvenile element -that Is so happy a charm in the original story.

The baby of the company is a little blonde-curled picturesque youngster named William Iturtou .lanes, who can pose in a photograph like a cherub of Raphael's and who is truly an ideal Little Tommy. The role is not that of a Little lx>rd Kauntleroy, for Tommy is the unhappy child whom the runaway waif, Lovey Mary, carries with her to the Cabbage Patch. Nevertheless Tommy in his tags endears himself to all the spectators. It is said that these four children together receive an aggre- gate of salary tar surpassing that paid any other four juvenile performers before the footlights. Tbatr expert char- acterizations have won unanimous praise from alt the Boston critics and they are in every way worthy of the ad- mirably selected Liebler A Co. cast of twenty-six which is giving at t he Park Theatre in that city such an ideal foot- light presentation of the quaint and odd figures of Mrs. Rice's t'abbage Patch.

BOSTON'S MIGHTY BEAUTIFUL SPECTACLE "MOTHER GOOSE.'

The golden eggs of "Mother Goose" at the Colonial theatre, Boston, have anticipated the EaMer display and represent a wealth of bright, rattling

I fun, charming, catchy music, legion.- i of feminine beauty and such a lavish I display of indescribably gorgeous seen ery and costumes as have never heretofore been seen in one stage production. The result has been a series of

ited by the absolute capacity of the

house, and their enthusiasm has been

expressed at every performance bjc-

salvos of applause that re-echo from

the audience to the stage and back.

becomes almost bewildered. The east

Is an enormous one, the scenes are ever varying and changing, and there is a plethora of exquisite scenic tnves> titure that is annihilating in Its burois of splendor. scenes. That is "Mother noose."

j The caat is one of the best ever presented by Ktaw and Rrlanger in any of their musical attractions, the main factorn being Joe i "aw t home, who plays the title character with so much unction that the mont blase theatre- goer Is compelled to laugh at every line and every antic of this genuinely rroteaque. "humorous comedian; Marry Bulger and W. H.

The ballets, processions and marches go with a precision which can only be compared to the co-ordhiale works of a perfect watch. The famou* aerlalists, [he Origolatis. are seen In their beautiful and graceful poslngx and when their premiere, without warnlnr, rom** to the footlights ar.d makes her remarkable flight over the heads of the audience clear to the gallery rail and return, all the while scat- tering beautiful carnations over tho?e below. It is a fitting climax to the moM brilliant spectacle ever shown to local theatregoers.

During the "Mother Oooee"* engag*- ment there will be matlness on Wed- nesday and Haturday, and a specla i matinee will be given April 19 (Patri- ots' Day). Mail orders for seats addressed to the

There is more Catarrh in this section of the country than all other diseases put together, and until the last few years it was supposed to be incurable. For a great many years doctors pronounced it a local disease and prescribed local remedies, and by constantly failing to cure with local treatment, pronounced it incurable. Science has proven catarrh to be a constitutional disease and therefore requires constitutional treatment. Hall's Catarrh Cure, manufac- tured by F. J. Cheney & Co., Toledo. Ohio, is the only constitutional cure on the market. It is taken internally in doses from 10 drops to a teaspoonful. It acts directly on the blood and mucous surfaces of the system. They offer one hundred dollars for any case it fails to cure. Send for circulars and testimonials. Address,

A trust fund of 15,000 Is to be held by a Boston trust company, the Income to be used in making repairs to the First Congregational Church of Methuen. The following from this morning's

"In her will filed today in the surrogate's court, Mrs. Julie F. H.

LAWRENCE TO GET THE NEW COMPANY.

Fall dreBS-goods, remnants, 8 to 10 yds in length at mill prices. Karris Remnant Store, Lawrytce.

BOSTON, April 5— Orders issued from the adjutant-generals office today by direction of the cum Trim idei* I n-eWef, accepted a company of limn try from Lawrence to take the place of Company L. 8th infantry, of the same city, recently disbanded. This acceptance of the Lawrence company shuts out. for the present, the new company recently Inspected at Cambridge. It appears to be generally understood, however that. company E, 8th infantry, of Beverly, has got to walk the plank shortly, and then the Cambridge men will have a chance to come into the militia fold-

The petition was delivered to the udjutant-general'B office after Inspec- tion at the state armory a few weeks ago when about lir. turned out for the preliminary personal inspection, conducted by Inspector General Brigham and Brigadier General Carpenter.

These officers delivered the petition with a favorable report.

It has been rumored during the last week that the local petitioners would not receive the commission desired and this rumor was founded on the reported fine showing made by the Cambridge petitioners last week.

Edgar G. Holt, the promoter of the new company here, is justifiably pleased with the result of his efforts, and now feels assured that the new company Will make a fine showing after a season of persistent practice under able military men.

It is expected that the company will be mustered into the militia within a couple of weeks at the most. Probably the first public appearance of the company will be on May HO. Memorial day.

A meeting of the petitioners will be held tomorrow night in the rooms In the third story of the armory. Busl ness of importance is to come up for consideration and every signer of the petition should be in attendance, for It is of utmost importance that every one should take hold and work hard from now on for much is to be done before muster and a great deal more before the company goeB to camp duty.

Mr. Holt received the official communication this morning from the state house and it read as follows;

Commonwealth of Massachusetts. Adjutant General's Office-

April 5th, 1904. Mr. Edgar G. Holt:

Methuen, Mass. Sir:

I am directed by His Excellency, the Governor, to Inform you that your petition reported favorably upon by the Inspector General has been accepted by the Governor and your company will be mustered Into the militia.

Col. Pew has been instructed by letter to make arrangements for the muster-in of your company and you will confer with him relative to it. He will set the date on which you are to be mustered. Your petitioners should all appear; If a small number only appear, he will be instructed not to muster.

Very respectfully, (Signed) SAMUEL DALTON,

A rapid review of the descendants of 'Samuel Stevens Val|>ey can only be given, introducing the lines buck of

! his wife, Elizabeth Alibott^daughter of ! the 'Revolutionary veteran, *('uleb I Aobolt, who was a great grandson of | rrinioihy( the boy captive 4n Canada

in 1670. Husse, Davis, and Pevey in j the Lovejoy and WardweU lines of our I resident family have contributed the

heavy dark brow and hair of other earlier French hues, but the Huguenot origin is not so well established yet, as that nl the later and better known Valpeya. 'Samuel lieorge Valpey, bom 1819, died lKtill at 44, during the excitement of the Civil War, and his wife followed him in 1XB4. She was Sarah Elizabeth Holt) daughter of Kzra. Holt ami Elizabeth Gage WardweU, two lines well known in our pioneer building in Andover. Samuel Cieorge won in his short service, a name for probity and a generous spirit in business. As a father and neighUir and comrade, his rank was high. He was too busy to be a politician, and did not live long enough for civil honors, that came late to those who lived through the strenuous years of our Civil War. Many a poor customer who was pinched by the absence of father or brother m the service, enter the private account uf Mr. Valpey, after he became a partner of Mr. Flint, showing the quiet methods of thii lug hearted man, m helping others. I learned to reverence his character while a school- mate of his children, and he won, as have all the Valiwys, a large place in the hearts of the kindred. His sons who survive him, "George and «Kzra Hull Valpey, present members from the older linn of Valpey brothers, have inherited Ins singular gift and knack of service, that makes an- apprenticeship in this firm a paaaport anywhere to a good job. The part of the business at Faueuil Hull Market I do not know- about, and while the family life of "George was mainly outside of Anil- over, the marriage of 'Ezra Holt Val- pey with Mary Adelaide, daughter of Thomas Edes Mayberry and Mary Jane Hilton, of Otistield, Me., in 1H70, secured us a resident line and the home is near the site of the Mayberry estate. •Frederick Samuel and 'Edith Hilton represent also the ninth of the elder lines. I doubt if one can find a busier more contented or alert young gentleman than our cjtizen Frederick, although the wall of infirmity shuts out the world of sweet sounds, but he has no difficulty in comprehending the annual balance sheet of the firm (a feat that muddles some of my gay young millionaire friends with a college training.)

&KHzabeth Maria born 1893 married JoaephvKoper Millett, son of Jonathan of Salem, and a brother of the late William Millett of Andover, in lH4.». The surviving child is Harry IAW-

mnce, who took the name of his step- father Plato Kames, lately deceased in Andover. I am sorry I did not in all my notes get the name of wife of Mr. Kames, who presides over his delightful old home so ftdl of historic memories, in which now resides with him the surviving member of the Valpey e of her generation, Madam Etizalteth Eames, near 80. Here is a Vali>ey scion who knows how to take care of his own estate, and will lie a handy man for honors when our reigning dynasty retires and the town needs services. 5Abrahatn Martin, born 1827, died in California 1883. His wife was Maria Smith of St. Johnsbury, Yt., uf a "rail road family also resident in Lawrence." Only one child *George Valpey sur- vives in Oakland, California with a family, in good standing. 5Mary Jane born 1830, married Edwin Ayer of the Boston & Maine car shops. She is dead but he still lives in Lawrence, a retired veteran of service, with a family by a second wife I l>elieve, surviving. *Thos. Gilbert, born 1832, died in Lawrence (090. He inherited from Valpey and Abbottiin the Phillips Unej the desire to study for the ministry, and never married, but gave bla life to teaching mainly. He was a graduate of Yale, and a theological school in New York. Was at St. Paul's school, Concord, finally for good, and donated tv chapel for public worship at K'linaeook, a null village in 1861, when 1 taught a school on the Concord line and I used often to see Rev. Thomas Valpey in his gown leading in the boys. For we all attended chapel at the school hall from the surrounding country in that day. He was professor of (ireek and Latin, also a preacher. In war time he could not serve on account of physical disability, but sent a* substitute*. He was also a Knight Templar ami most of the Salem Valpeys were Masons from the start. Mr. Valpey left a prize fund for Phillips Academy and Lawrence High school for Knglish Composition among Other bequests. Recently, for some very odd and discreditable reasons, the school authorities of Lawrence have- discontinued the contest. It will lapse probably to Lawrence General Hospital by the terms of „ bequest, and I feel that Mr. Valpey would agree to it if he

The Alchemist.

The Harvard chapter of the Delta L'psilon fraternity will produce its annual play this week in Cambridge and BostOH. For the past six years this organization has revived Elizabethan com- edies and this year "The Alchemist" o( Ben Johnson is to be acted. The play is remarkable for its wit, construction of interesting plot, the depiction of a number of caricatured personages. As such it is attractive to the spectator of today, jiiBt as much so as the usual modern farce. Much care has been taken iu this production and it bids fair to out- rival any of the chapter's previous successes.

Breathing. E. M. & W. A. Allen Re- fund Money If It Falls to Cure-

Run later is Pure stagnant nature of any sort is dan-

gerous. An active liver creates bile to aid di-

gestion ; an active stomach digests properly ; active bowels and kidneys carry off waste and poisonous matter, which would pollute the whole system if It remained stagnant.

Active organs make pure blood and pure blood makes a healthy body.

Keep your stomach, liver, bowels and kidneys active with Dr. Parker'sTouetic Tablets and you will escape disease.

These 1 ablets make the organs act as Nature intended and thus make good, pure blood, tone up the stomach, cure rheumatism, neuralgia, anemia, pale and sallow skin, blotches, pimples and all humors, indigestion, loss of appetite, sick headache, biliousness, constipation, foul breath, sleeplessness and all troubles arisingfro.ua weakened aud run down condition.

A long stride toward solving the myi tery of curing catarrh was taken with the dis overy of llyomei. In fact the percentage of cures by this treatment proves it ei|ual to the final tests.

The folly of taking medicine into the stomach to cure catarrh of the nose, throat aud lungs, lias been realized by physicians, but not until llyomei was known, had they a practical method that would obviate stomach drugging.

A complete llyomei outfit costs but * I, and consists of a neat liocket in-

! haler that can be used anywhere wlth- ' out attracting attention, a inediciue 1 dropper and a bottle of llyomei.

Breathing tlvomei through the inhaler, every particle of air that enters the nose, throat and lungs, is charged with a healing balsam that soothes and

! allays all irritations, kills the catarrhal ' germs and enriches the blood with additional ozone.

E. M. A W. A. Allen have so much faith in the power of Hyoroei to cure catarrh, that they are selling it under their personal guarantee to refund the money if it does not give positive ' relief.

A Setting Right.

A Lot of Good Carriage Horses and Several Fine Caniages For Sale In the Townsman of March 25, there was published a local news story touching upon the street talk regarding the appointment of chief of police. Our attention has been called to it as doing an injustice to Mr. Donald, in making it appear that had he been elected a change would have been made in the ottiee. .Mr. Donald himself is authority for the statement, that thflre is not a particle of truth in such a suggestion, as he had never in any way committed himself to any appointments that he should favor if elected selectman.

We are very glad to correct any possible erroneous impression that our news story may have made, and to place Mr. Donald in his proper position toward this question. The question was, by the way, given much more prominence than any of the real facts justified, and seems in show that the usual conservation of the Townsman was overstepped in this case.

Private Club —Public Good.

The public at large may not at first thought seem to be very much interested in the subject of golf, or the location of the local course. Comparatively few are members of the local club, and fewer take active interest in the game. Nevertheless, in a way tfie public is very-much interested.

The game is one of the attractions of .almost every well regulated community, and the organization looking, after it thus becomes one of the town's institutions. Thus, when the proposition comes to change the grounds, teat- down and build bigger as it were, it is not alone the members of the organization, with their very proper larger interest, to be considered, but it is to a degree the entire public convenience. Next Monday night the Andover (-olf club takes up the question of new and larger grounds. We certainly have no thought of suggesting what is wise for them to do, but we do feel it is not improper for us to call attention to this public side of the question. With a full attendance of members, and a consideration of all sides of the question, we have no fear of any decision that will not l>e for the fullest pleasure of the club, ;IIII[ the promotion of the best public good so far as the (.olf club can secure that end.

Editorial Cinders.

We are sure that there will be a very general satisfaction that Rev. Mr. Bel knap of the Baptist church is to continue his slay in Andover, having declined his call to Reading. He has not only secured a strong hold upon his own church people, but he has carried his influence into the town at large so as to make him a most valued citizen. Reading's loss is Andover's continued ami continuing gain.

If the writer's own backyard were* |n order, he would suggest the great need of giving that important i«irt of every home a "very prompt and thorough cleaning. However, as he hopes to get from under the aforesaid "glass house " very soon, perhajw the readers will allow the suggestion that now is the time to kill backyard microbes for the health of the family, and the adorn- ment of the village.

It isalwaysa pleasant task to chronicle the good deeds of the boys bfTrn and reared in Andover. So the announce- meat that James Russell Chandler is the new Boston manager of the Aetna Indemnity Company is given to his many old, Andover friends with satisfaction ami pleasure over his successful training which brings him to such a responsible bjositioh; ,.

Speaking of Main street repair-. j,er- haps we may be allowed to repeat; if the B. A N. Street Hail way Company wants a double track, let them build clear through or not at all. and let them improve the street and bear the expense therefor to the complete satisfaction of every abuttor.

The Conference of Massachusetts Home Missionary pastors opened auspiciously on Monday evening at the Sem- inary. All who were expected were

, present except two or three who- were detained by sickness or other engage- ments. A bountiful meal was served by Steward White at the dining ball, alter

i which the visitors were comfortably accommodated in the several rooms in Hartlet hall.

The first regular exercise of .the conference came on Tuesday morning when Dr. Arnold led the chapel prayers.8 At nine o'clock the first lecture was given by Prof. Smyth upon the "Ideal ot History. Prof. Hincks opened his brief course on Systematic Theology with a lecture at 11 on "Revelation and the Uible." The third and final lecture of the day was given by Prof. Day on "The * 'dering of Worship."

On that evening a reception was given for the Missionary pastors, at Prof. Day's house which resulted in their getting acquainted with the faculty and students of the Seminary and with each oilier.

These ministers are from all over our state, most of the counties being represented. They are from parishes of mountain, city and seashore. Four of the most interesting among the number are colored men. Nearly a dozen are from parishes beyond the Connecticut river. It is therefore a representative gathering of some of the most faithful and vigorous workers in the most difficult places in our state.

One gentleman, the pastor at Hanson is the founder and organizer of the anti- profanity league which has an extensive membership throughout this country.

On Wednesday the lectures were continued. Prof. Ryder speaking upon "Gospel Tradition before the GospelB", Prof. Hincks upon "God, the Infinite Spirit and the Holy Father," and Prof. Arnold upon "The Collection of the Old Testament Scriptures." On Wednesday evening Prof. Kyder Jed an interesting and largely attended prayer and conference meeting which considered "The Spiritual Awakening of the Ministry."

The lectures on Thursday morning were by Prof. Platner, upon "Primitive Christianity"; by Prof. Hincks upon "Man, the sinful child of the Holy God," and Dr. Gates upon "The History of Israel before the lime of David."

In the afternoon, by invitation of liev. Mark Carter, the whole body of ministers proceeded to Lawrence where they were guided by Mr. Carter and one of the officers through the famous Pacific cotton mills in which they saw the whole process from the scouring of the raw material to the shipping of the finished goods for market. This visit excited very Kreat interest as the investigation was entirely new to almost all.

At 7.30 p.m. a general meeting was held in Bartlet chapel at which Rev. Charles W. Huntington of Lowell presided. The Speakers were Rev. William E. Wolcott who gave a suggestive address Upon "Conversation" with a most helpful adaptation of his subject. Rev. Charles A. pinsmor* made an interesting disi inct ion of books of knowledge and books of power, and showed how spiritual force may be deepened and increased by absorbing the influence of great personalities; and by Rev. Charles H. Olipbant of Methuen, who a scholarly and stimulating address by which his hearers were carried out of the beaten walks of study into the opening fields of modern thought and literature.

Today the lectures are continued ami a general meeting will be held at 7.HO p. m., of which the subject will be, "Sun- day schools, public schools, colleges, and their Christian Opportunity.-' The presiding officer will be Rev. Calvin M. Clark and the speakers will be E. S. Tead, Principal A. K. Stearns of Phillips Academy and Rev. W. T. McElveen, I'll. D., of Boston.

The conference will continue for another week and a further report will appear in next week's issue of the Townsman.

Wedding.

BURBINE—SWEENEY.

The marriage of Miss Nellie Sweeney and Angus Burbine occurred at St. Augustine's church on Tuesday afternoon at 4 o'clock, the ceremony being performed by Rev. Fr. McGowan. Both of the young people are well known in Andover. A number of relatives and friends of the contracting parties witnessed the ceremony. A reception was held at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Per- kins on Lewis street in the evening when many people called to extend congratulations and well wishes to the newly married couple.

More Appointments.

The regular meeting of the Board of Selectmen was held in the Town house on Monday afternoon. The board re- appointed Lewis T. Hardy, George D.

BYRON TRUELL COMPANY Toadies Entertain at Andover Club. Easter Sale at Christ Church

On Monday evening the rooms of the Andover (dub were the scene of an extremely happy gathering, when the wives of the members of that organization entertained the club.

The entertainment consisted of whist, in which all joined. Neat and appropriate prizes were awarded to the winners.

An exquisite lunch was served partly by the ladies and partly by Rhodes. The lailies served from chafing dishes winch were set in various parts of the room on tables prettily decorated with bunting, the colors being blue, pink, lavender and yellow. The ladies who bad charge of these tables were Mrs. Charles L. White, Miss Mary Poor, Miss Alice Jenkins, Mrs. David Shaw, Mrs. A. E. Hulme, Mrs. C. E. Abbott, Mrs. E. W. Pitman, and Mrs. Howell F. Wilson.

The rooms were handsomely decorated with evergreen, and to add to the effect beautiful colored butterflies were inter- woven in it.

As the guests came into the room they were ushered to the reception committee, consisting of Mrs. (ieorge H. Poor, Mrs. John N. Cole, Mrs. Andrew McTernen, and Mrs. Frank E. Gleason. The ushers were Mrs. Frank H. Messer, Mrs. David Shaw, Mrs. A. E. Hulme, Mrs. Charles L. White, and Miss Alice Jenkins.

When this ceremony was over they were taken to the mantel where more butterflies had been placed. These were here for the purpose of choosing a partner, the lady finding the gentleman who held one of the same color as hers. The young ladies who had charge of these butterflies were Misses Sarali White, Dorothy Wakefield, Margaret Cole, and Marion Colt.

This was one of the most enjoyable affairs ever held in the club rooms and the gentlemen were very much pleased with the entertainment.

On Wednesday evening the annual Easter sale under the auspices of the Girls' Friendly society was held in Christ church vestry and the affair as usual was a great success. The attendance was good and the sales were likewise large, a good sum of monev beine realized during the evening. The tables candy, cake and fanay, were well laden and each was arranged in an attractive manner. On the candy table many can- dles added to the appearance of this particular department.

A very Interesting concert was given in the evening, consisting of music and shadow pantomimes, the young ladies of the society and a few young men par- ticipating. The program was as follows: Piano solo Miss Helen Eat«n Shadow pantomime, Lord rjiltn'i Daughter \ oeal solo, BceriM that are Brightest Balfr-

Easter Day Observed in All the Local Churches With Elaborate Services

Easter was observed in the churches of Andover this year in the usual fitting ami appropriate nianner.

The day wan clear and bright although there was a chill north wind blowing most of the time, which made it uecessarv for many who had planned to appear in a new suit or hat to change their mind and put on overcoats and furs.

**The Kaster spirit, however, was everywhere evident, the sinking of birds, the went of Mowers, and even the grass made an effort to appear greener than on preceding days. The day, too, was an ideal one for the church services, there being an unusually large congregation in each of them. Presumably this KM due to the fact that the services were to be of a more elaborate character, but whatever the cause it seemed that

everybody made a special endeavor to be at divine worship sometime during the day.

In four of the churches special music was rendered which added much to the attractiveness of the service, and in all some signs were visible to show that the anniversary of Christ's resurrection was uppermost in the thoughts and words of the pastors and people.

It was truly a joyous Easter. Christ Church

At 7.;il- a.fm. at Christ church, Holy Communion was celebrated by the rector andatlO.HO there was morning prayer with an appropriate sermon by the rector. Hev. F. Palmer. The channel of the church was beautifully decorated with potted plants and cut flowers which har- monized with the beauty of the service. In the afternoon at 4.30 o'clock, the children's service was held which was also largely attended. Evening prayer was held and one baptism was administered. Addresses were made by 1'rof. E. II. Williams, jr.,and the rector, which were much appreciated by the grown-ups as well as the children. An offering was taken for the benefit of missionary scholarships. During the service hymns and carols were sung with the assistance■ of the choir under the leadership of Adelbert H. Morse. At the close of the service plants were distributed to the children and the cut Mowers were sent tothe siclt of the parish. The musical program which -was finely rendered at the morning service was as follows: Organ Prelude Bach Procewlonal TiH'stritV ImiVr I'iiltrstriria (hriHtmirPas»over B- Tuur* TiDeum ,1 v. Stanford

Free Church

The services at the Free church were ■J usual in keeping with the day, and :i,e spirit of Easter was market! in the "•rvicei both morning and evening. The Pulpit was handsomely decorated with powers and plants, the work having w*en done by Misses Annabel Ricbard- *on. Cecelia Kydd and Mary Gorrie, and 'harles Myers, and they deserve much "edit for the manner in which the work

was done. Kaster lilies, ferns, palms and cut flowers were used for these decorations.

The pastor preached an appropriate sermon, taking for his text Rev. 1: 17-18, "The Living King." The attendance was good and much interest was taken in the observance of the day.

At ('» o'clock the children's concert was held which was under the supervision of J. Newton Cole, superintendent of the Sunday school.

The primary department, under Miss J. Gertrude Jackson, assisted by Miss Ethel Clark, aided much in making ttie concert a success.

At the close of the concert seeds were distributed to the children.

At the morning service the choir rendered in a most creditable manner, Sehnecker's cantata, "The Risen King," aiid at the evening service the chorus, "The Heavens are Telling," was sung with great vigor. . Musical Director Edwin Rooth deserves much praise for the work which he has done. The programs were as follows: ■

Tht forenoon was taken up with the regular business of the order, and the discussion of the topic, "How to make faun life a success."

A turkey dinner such as the Andover Udies know so well how to serve, was partaken of by all with evident appreciation. The program for the afternoon was: hong by the grange; reading, Frank Hardy; song, R. A. Watson; paper, Mrs. a. H. Bailey; singing, Ando- ver tirange quartet consisting of E. F. Abbott, .). F.

Following is the paper read by Mrs. Frank Foster:

Worthy Lecturer, Manter ami Patron*: And it came to pass in the days of

Theodore the Wise, that (• rangers waxed great in the Land. And the wise men and all those having authority, said, we will hold a Pomona Grange in Andover, eveu as it has been held in West Box- ford, West New bury and Amesbury. And when the Andover (irangers heard that the vast assembly was coming into their country they rejoiced thereat, being much given to hospitality.

And word was sent throughout all the town, eveu to the uttermost parts, for the women to bake meats, and prepare all manner of food, and in yreat abun- dance, so that alt who came should be satisfied. And even so they did, so that the odors thereof were heavy over all the place.

And the neighbors would say—not being grangers, but curious, as neighbors sometimes are—"What mean thesesweet and enticing odors, so pleasing to the nostrils'.'" And the (irangers replied. "Know ye not that the Grangers are coming, from the East and from the West, from the North and, from the South, even fiont Rockingham county, N. H., to make merry with us in our Gfange dwelling?" *

And they held their peace, but were sorrowful, wishing that they too were (•rangers.

St- Auguat.ne'a Church

At St. Augustine's church there were two services,one at 10.30 when mass was celebrated, and vespers at 7.30. Here also the spirit of Easter was evident, there being a profusion of plants and cut flowers around and above the altar, and everything was made to look bright and cheerful as the recognition of Christ** being raised from the dead.

The sermon preached by the pastor,

some distance from the cars that are supposed to run, bui do not always do so,

i many said, "How shall we reach that : joyful place?'' And George, even he | who sits in the master's chair this day, i said, "1, even 1, will furnish horses to i carry our friends to the hall, lo even as I many as care to come."

Whereat many were glad, and came with great rejoicings, even Matilda, the .Scribe.

And it came to pass ;w they met in the hall, all were dumb with admiration at its attractive appearance. And some were tilled with envy, and they said, "How comes it that ye who are so small in numbers, and young in years also, have caused to be builded such a noble and stately dwelling'.'" Ami with one accord the chief elders ami the men replied, "It was the women, even the women of the Wouiaus club who have brought such great things to pass."

Whereat they all marvelled, and many there were who were envious, but the women said. "Envy us not, for if ye will but work harmoniously together, and go

| without ear jewels, and new head gear, I even as we have done, even so shall it be ' with yon also, go thou and do likewise."

Rut some went away sorrowing, being much given to pomps and vanities.

And w hen the noon hour came, being wearied, and hungry from long fasting, they all repaired to the lower room, where the chief cooks and butlers had prepared the feast for them, so that the tables groaned with the weight thereof.

And they ate, drank and were meny, as (irangers are given to doing.

And after the feast was ended they alt returned to the upper chamber, to listen with one accord to the words of wisdom and counsel that fell from the speaker's lips, and greatly they marvelled at the wisdom displayed.

And Knight was there, but Klizabeth of the tribe of Abbott was there also, to give us light. And sweet singers to the sound of the stringed instrument, made pleasant the hours, and those that read and in other ways did entertain the ompanv were great in number, and all the people praised them.

And the hours sped by as if on wings but many there were who bethought themselves of the long journey before them, yet they tarried, being loth to depart, but as they thought of their much cattle, and the many chores awaiting them, they were constrained to go, knowing full well that the man servants and the maid servants were eating the bread of idleness while the master was away, and so they departed each to his own dwelling, and quietness and peace reigned in Andover. *'

AN EVENING OF PLAY

The entertainment of a "Town Meet- ing," to be given next Tuesday evening in the South Church vestry, is untried ground in Andover, but has been given in many other places with pronounced success, always drawing full houses. Andover has an exceptional number of bright women who can entertain botbj wittily and en joy ably, and it is some of these women who have kindly consented to assist in producing this entertainment, therefore its success is assured in And- over also. The discussions, "pro and eon," will be short but bright, and a new method of voting will be introduced. A grain of sense, now and then will be thrown in with a preponderance of non- sense. An evening of simple hearty laughter is a good remedy for the "blues" as well as dyspepsia. Have you either.' Then be sure and come. If you havii't you will teant to com*.

Some of the ladies who will participate are: Miss Erring, Mrs. ooldsmilh, Miss Putnam, Mrs. (iardiner, Mrs. Homer Foster, Miss Ella Holt, Miss Mary Alice Abbott, Mrs. Stephen I). Abbott, Miss Mabel Jones, Miss II ewes, Mrs. HI neks, Mrs. Whittemore, Miss Lucia Merrill

and others. The names of the gentlemen privileged to vote only for school committee will be found on the black board at' the entrance to the vestry. No reserved seats, or standing room in the gallery. All are welcome on the floor. For the-accommodation of the committee in arranging the chairs in the vestry, will those who are to attend purchase their tickets on Saturday, as far as may be, and greatly oblige.

The bright communication from C. H. A. in last week's Townsman, with regard to the use of her name on the school board requires a little explana- tion. The use of the names of the policemen and the other members of the school board had been asked and laugh- ingly granted, but ihe one who was to interview C. II. A., although she had several interesting talks with her on the "Town meeting," forgot to ask this permission, and behold! as a result, this good natured sally. And now, having made bur peace with C. H. A. "just for fun," we would like to ask if h*r candidates for school committee were as much surprised as she to see their names in print?

WIDENING OF MAIN STREET

Hearing Before County Commissioners Develops: Some Opposition. Decision Withheld

tin Wednesday morning the bearing which was postponed from January 28 in regard to viewing North Main street Irons the shawsheen river to Elm square and, if deemed adviaable, to straighten, widen and re-locate the bounds, was held before the full board of Comity Commissioners. There were about thirty citizens present and the matter was thoroughly discussed. No action was taken by the board at; the time.Jiowever, as they wbth to consider the'matter further.

John E. Smith was the tits' speaker and lie said that the question came before the commissioners for the purpose wholly of re-locating the slreet bounds and to get the highway in a more suitable condition for travel. The street should be on feet wide and to accomplish this probably three houses would have to be moved back and grades cut down a distance of :I5SM feet.

John I.. Smith said that in his opinion there should he 110 kicks from the abutlors as it is a right and proper thing for the town to see where the proper street bounds are and have them approved by the Selectmen. In future when buildings are erected on this particular street, it should be understood where Uie bound is.

Selectman B. f. Smith said that there had been some talk that these changes were asaed for as the Boston & Northern street railway company wanted to locate double tracks. He saiil that the II. A S. had not asked for double tracks to the square but only to Harding street.

Selectman Samuel II. Boutwell thought that it would be a wise thing to do the work now as it will cost much more to do it a few \ears troni now.

Henry YV. Barnard saiil that if the project was carried out the owners of houses affected could claim land

damages as it would greatly decrease the value of the land. .Mr. Barnard said, that in his opinion the houses would. have to be moved back.

John E. Smith said that the house* would be nearer the street but bethought that no damage would accrwe, John I;. Smith thought that H a mam built his house on the town's laud as could not claim land damages if the fault was remedied at the town's expense.

Timothy Howard strongly protested against the proposed changes ss he- would be one of the losers, three feet being taken from his front yard. A, letter was reail from Mis. Margaret llannon, also protesting against the widening of the street.

Mr. Barnard saiil that he believed the petition was signed by men who were not property owners ae he was sure that none of the abutlors desired it.

William J. (row ley wanted to know why the properly owners yvere not stopped from building when the-street bounds were first made. It was stated that tin- people wbo owned the old railroad were anxious to sell the land' and they were not particular about the building. Mr. 1'rowley said that be believed the plan was gotten up to make the street as pretty as possible regardless of the wishes of the abiitttns.

John K. Smith said that the plan was to make the street as near the original width as possible with little expense.

Mr. Barnard said that if the work was satisfactorily done he woo],, not' object to ihe changes. Daniel Collins and Wil- liam Crow/ley were also of the same mind.

The commissioners were then requested to view the street in question which was done when the meeting adjourned. They said that they would, make then- decision later.

Obituary

MBS. .1(111 ANNA SI HuFIKU).

Mrs. Johanna (I*he>) Schotield, a j resident of this town for over 30 years, passed away after a short illness at her home on Cuba street last Saturday afternoon at 1.80 o'clock, at the age of 4» years. The suddenness of her death, caused by peretonitie, was quite a shock to her family as she had been in good health up to a week before her death. She had had a severe illness some time ago but had entirely recovered from it and was about again.

Mrs. Schotield was born in Ireland in 1ST>6 and came to this country when quite young. She resided in Salem for a few years and later came to this town. In I87H she married John Schotield anil they have resided on Cuba street ever since. She has always lived a quiet life and was respected by all who knew her.

Besides her husband she is survived by three daughters. Annie, Julia ami Bridget, and three sons, Thomas of | Hartford, Conn., John and Harry.

The funeral was held from St. Augustine's church on Tuesday morning when solemn high mass was celebrated by Bev. Fr. McGowan, assisted by Fr. Lynch as deacon and Fr. I.ocke as sub- deacon. Interment was in St. Augus- tine's cemetery. The pall bearers were: James Daley, Timothy Sullivan, Augus- tus Bemmes, Henry Sweeney, John Hickey and Cornelius Sweeney. The Moral tributes were very beautiful, among them being a pillow inscribed "Mother" from members of the family; basket, Mr. and Mrs. John Anderson; spray, frjends; spray, Mr. and Mrs. Jsmes Soutar; spray, Miss Mary Mul- downv and others.

Mrs. Mary Curtin of Salem, and Daniel I.ahey of Chelsea are sister and brother respectively of the deceased.

WHAT To WEAR.

An Artiat photographer can so light a gown of any color as to make il beautifully attractive In the photograph, therefore you should usually select what is becoming, and pleases you most to wear

However it is well to know that most shades of red result in black or are very dark, also certain shades of yellow and green.

Blue and pink photograph light, light 1 ints of these colors being white in the finished photograph.

A black gown although always stately and in excellent taste, usually ages the appearance, while light shades, particu. larly if of summery fabrics make one look more youthful. Most ladies know that if the lines of figured designs of a gown run Horizontally or around the figure it will give breadth ; perpendicu- lar lines increasing the apparent height A gown with train or semi-train care also be arranged lo give an increase of. Basest.

A draped bust portrait is very accept- able at times. A stranger in a- town might not have with her a suitable waist; the purchase of a yard er two of light blue or pink chiffon, the placing it about the shoulders allowing but a fold or two of it to show in the photograph, makes a pleasing effect and can never go out of style.—Shrrmnn .Ituilio

CHANGE of LIFE Owing t" modern methods <»i Uviug, not one woman in a thousand approaches this perfectly natural change without experi-

encing a train of very annoying and sometimes painful symptoms. ..,,.. Those dreadful hot Hashes, sending the blood surging to the heart until it seems rra<ly to burst, and the faint feeling that follows,

sometimes with chills, as if the heart were going to stop forever, are only a few of the symptoms of dangerous nervous trouble. The nerves are crying out for assistance. The cry should be heeded in time.

was prepared to meet the needs of woman's system at this trying period of her life, and all women who use it pass through this trying period with comfort and safety. READ THESE CONVINCING LETTERS:

DKAK MB*. PINKHAM : — My trouble was change of life and cramp- " DKAR MRS. PINKHAM: — I feel it my duty to write you about the wonderful cure your medicine has brought about.

"I suffered for years with change of life. 1 would have fainting spell's, either before or after my monthly periods. They would come on me suddenly. Sometimes 1 would be on the street.

" I had pains all over me. My head ached all the time, could take no walks or go up stairs without becoming completely exhausted. I suffered untold misery.' I tried doctor's medicines for a long time, but derived no beneilt.

" I cannot say too much in praise of I,yd i:t E. PinkhamN Vege- table Compound, and would advise all sufferers of female trouble to use it, for it will certainly cure them."—MB*. LIZZIE C. IIKYNOLDS, Uuchauan, Va.

When one stops to think about the good these women derived from this great medicine, it seems almost beyond belief; yet it is all true as stated in their letters published above at their own request.

ing. No human tongue can describe what I suffered with the cramp. I dreaded from one time to another so much that I almost wanted to die.

** Our family physician did everything he could for me, but I got no relief. He said if I lived to get fchrough with the other trouble, it would wear awaj after a time,, but I had it six years and could not walk orexerciBe in any way without bringing on an attack of tbe cramp, and I would suffer untold misery until I would be perfectly exhausted and helpless.

" 1 read in one of your little books about your medicine being good for female trouble and change of life, and thought there was DO harm in trying it, so I did, and it helped me and 1 w;is able to take walks and work some.

" I am very thankful for tlfe relief your'medicine has been to me."— MRS. V. M. Bl.AKB, Deep Water, W. Va.

For these ills no other medicine in the world has received such widespread and unqualified endorsement. Refuse all suhstitutes.

As a positive fact the private files at Lydia E. Pinkham's laboratory contain thousands of letters from women who have been safely carried through that danger period " Change of Life." The eures of Mrs. Reynolds and Mrs. Blake are not unusual ones for this medicine to accomplish.

■BS^SJ

No such helpful advice to women who are sick can be bad elsewhere as will be received tree by addressing Mrs. Pinkham at Lynn, Mass.— if you are sick write her — you arc foolish It you don't.

lecture on Arts and Crafts.

In the November (iub house on Tues- day evening, Mrs. Mary Ware Dennett, a member of the Boston Society of Arts and Crafts, gave a lecture before an audience of about 100 people upon the topic of "Arts and Craft*."

Mrs. Dennett is a most entertaining lecturer and the audience was very at- tentive listening eagerly to the experiences of the speaker in her Investiga- tions. She was introduced by (ieorge T. Eaton of the Phillips Academy faculty. y Mrs. Dennett said that she thought before many years machinery would do all work which was considered a drudgery besides farming work, kitchen work and even all work which is now done by hand.

Speaking of hours ofjabor in factories she saU that shjB Aid not expect to live

"to the time when hours of labor were reduced but hoped the time would come -when Bnly three hours would constitute aria-y'swiHrk instead of eight and ten as at present.

Mrs. Dennett said that usually man's pleasure comes outside of his work, that is at hitch t when the hard day's work is ,riotte, when his thoughts were outside the mill and he was free to think as he chose, she hoped to see the clay when a man could be so situated as to take pleasure in his work, when conditions were such as to make him love his work, and put all his mind into what he is making.

The speaker said that a man might work hard and save a great deal of money and after he had become unable to work could retire on it, but he would not enjoy the ease which it would bring at this tiiue of life as he would when young and vigorous.

Mrs. Dennett then told of the manufacture of Oriental rugs, comparing them with the goods that are made today. She said that the old rugs were so constructed in both color and texture that they were beautiful as long as they lasted, while the rugs of today are woven so poorly and the dyes are so much inferior that they are beautiful and datable but a short time.

Slie then explained the life of a brass worker, starting at his home in Europe. He in generally descended from a family of the same occupation and when he is of age to learn the trade, he starts from the very foundation of the business and taking the crude metal, he moulds it himself into any shape that may be his fancy and puts it through all the other processes, finishing it with beautiful figures engraved upon it. He hears al- luring stories of the wealth of this country and decides to come here with the hope of getting a good position and a large salary. When he arrives here and looks for a position, he is invariably refused as employer^ are looking for men who know but one department of the manufacture. He is cast aside and ail his knowledge is lost.

Mrs. Dennett compared the manufacture of wall papers in America with that of England and was much in favor of the latter in both coloring, design and material. She said that she hoped that the manufacturers in this country instead of being so eager to make money would educate the people up to purchasing ruore suitable ana prettier papers. She exhibited many samples of papers, some made in this country and some across the water and she said in every instance our goods were inferior

In cloth site said that the material which the public demanded was far

j below what she wished it was but manu- i faqturers were compelled^ to cater to | their wants and therefore the goods 1 must be made.

At the close of the lecture the public i were invited to inspect the exhibit of : specimens from the Deertield Society of I Arts and Crafts and also specimens of | Ahnakee rugs, from I'eiiuaket. X. II.

The Deertield exhibit was also open for inspection on Wednesday afternoon from o to ") o'ch»ek, when many people visited the club house to see the work.

BOSTON THEATRES ! Honor List of Phillips Academy.

PARK THEATRE. So pronounced has been the popular

success of that laughing play-novelty, ''Mrs. Wiggs of the Cabbage Patch" at the I'ark Theatre, Boston, that, although it has already enjoyed an engagement of four weeks at that house, its run has been specially extended for three more weeks. New England play-goers will therefore have the better part of this month of April, in which to avail themselves of this delightful treat. Its twenty-fifth local performance was celebrated awhile ago by the timely and picturesque novelty of a Japanese Souvenir Night. The fiftieth performance which will fall upon the evening of Monday,, April 18th, will be celebrated as a Russian Souvenir Night. On the following Tuesday a special matinee will be given in honor of Patriot's Day, and twogala performances will be held. It may also be noted that Monday evening of next week (April 111 will be observed as World's Fair night, when everyone who attends the... play will receive a beautifully colored! and thoroughly complete map of the World's r\tir Grounds.

SCIATIC RHEUMATISM CURED.

"I have been subject to sciatic rheumatism for years," says E. H. Waldron, of Wilton Junction, Iowa. "My joints were stiff and gave me much pain and discomfort. My joints would crack when I straightened up. I used Cham- berlain's I'ain Balm and have been thoroughly cured. Have not had a pain or ache from the old trouble for many months. It is certainly a most wonderful liniment." For sale by all druggists, Lawrence; E. M. & XV. A. Allen,'Ando- ver; C. II. Shattuck, Hallardvale.

Consumption The only kind of consump-

tion to fear is " neglected consumption."

People are learning that consumption is a curable disease. It is neglected consumption that is so often incurable.

At the faintest suspicion of consumption get a bottle of Scott's Emulsion and begin regular doses.

The use of Scott's Emulsion at once, has, in thousands of cases, turned the balance in favor of health. •»

Neglected consumption does not exist where Scott's Emul- sion is.

Prompt use of Scott's Emul- sion checks the disease while it can be checked.

GOOD ADVICE TO NERVOUS WOMEN

"Just let me tell you what Rexall Hucu-Tone did for me," says Mrs. Hess, of Jersey City, N. J.

"For five years I had been growing more and more feeble. I was weak, run down and nervous. Suffered with pain in my back and side constantly and waft unable to obtain any relief whatever. It seemed as if my cup of trouble was already full when I was overtaken by catarrhal bronchitis and for five weeks was confined to my bed.

"Nothing seemed to help me and I was in deepest despair when a neighbor advised me to try M ucu- Tone. From the first dose 1 experienced relief, I succeeded in breaking up the attack completely within twenty-four hours, and at the end of a week I felt like a new woman. Today I am in perfect health; something I have not known for yean. 1 therefore feel safe in advising all women who are nervoul and broken down to buy a bottle of Rexall Mucu-Tone and to take it as directed."

DO YOU KNOW WHAT YOUR. CON- DITION HEAN8T

Hal anyone ever told you what it means to feel restless?—flighty? —unsettled?—unable to concentrate yourself on your work?—unable to find pleasure or satisfaction In anything?

Or have you ever given careful thought to it yourself ?

Well, sooner or later you will be broken down, weak, dizzy— thoroughly tired of living.

The meaning is that some part of your system has been attacked by catarrh.

One alter another the organs become deranged; the liver and kidneys are no longer able to purify the blood and the heart becomes affected. Then the stomach loses its power to properly digest food. Sleeplessness, nervousness, melancholy and despair follow. You grow weak, emaciated, haggard. You have pains in the back, under the shoulder-blades and bearing down pains in the lower abdomen. *

And probably through it all you have been told that you are merely run down and need a tonic.

MRS. GEO. A. HISS, •tt Brown Phaee, Jersey City, N. «T.

Yes, you are run down; you do- need a tonic. But you need mora than a tonic. You need a remedy that will clean the mucous membranes,—just such a remedy as many women have needed through years of suffering and which they have finally found in Rexall Mucu- Tone. WS OUARANTKB THAT MIXII-TONI

WII.I, CUBIC YOU.

Rexall Mucu-Tone works through the bloodvessels, acting directly upon the congested cells, driving out the poisons and healing the raw surfaces. It fills the arteries with rich, red, life-giving blood, builds up the body, stops all vital drains, soothes the fagged nerves and brings sound, restful sleep.

No matter how slight your weakness or depression, you need Mucu- Tone. No matter how bad your catarrh, Mucu-Tone will quickly cure it. The very first dose of Mucu-Tone will make you feel better and within three or four weeks you will have a new leasa on life.

Our confidence in Itexnll Mucu- Tone is based on our knowledge of what this remedy has done ia thousands of cases. We know that Mucu-Tone is, meritorious, scientific, reliable, apd we earn- estly say to you that if you are not more than satisfied with a trial of this remedy we will promptly and cheerfully refund your money.

Mucu-Tone is one of the famous Rexall remedies and is sold only st our store. Large bottles, 89 cents. Mail orders filled.

E. M. & W. A. ALLEN, DRUGGISTS MY ANGORA CAT.

From flood Housekeeping. I find thM cooked meat la, on the

whole, beat for my cats, which are Angoras. Raw ftah causes fits. I have heard thut a nursing cat. will die if f**J

with It Aak your fishman Tor home fish heads, and boil them, Dut give the cat only the meat, no bonea. Cut all food fine, and never give gristle or fat.

Never give a cat any food which ip tainted. Really sour milk Is relished by many cats and is wholesome.

Cereals In milk are good for cats, and produce a good coat of fur. Warm the milk f«r ,nissy. Keep fresh water always at hand.

Keep all th*- dishes perfectly clean. Do not bathe your cat, especially if

it ia an Angora. Give It a good wiping with a moist cloth. See that your cat has a clean, warm place in which to sleep. Let it have access In cold weather, when there la no grass, to clean hay.

Many people find it difficult to brin* up Angora kittens, but I find no difficulty, and I ha|e raised twelve. Keep them always wa\m. away from drafts. Be sure their bedmng is changed often. Keep them In a dark place for the first two or three weeks. Feed the mother well with good, nutritious food. With- hold meat or any solid food for two days after the klttena arrive Let the mother cat go out as often aa possible for rest and fresh air. When the kittens are three or four weeks old let them have a room to themselves. If you can, with various things to climb over, and a good warm bed In a corner When they are about three weeks n>'< teach them to lap milk. Give them warmed milk, one-third water, and a little sugar. Cut their first meat line Have the males gelded when thf-y arr five months old.

Never destroy all the kittens In a litter. Keep one. or the poor mother will have the dreaded mtlk fever.

Don't let thoughless children hand!' klttena.

COUbH MEDICINE FOR CHILDREN.

When you buy a cough medicine for small -children you want one in which you carr place implicit confidence. You, ' want one that not only relieves bat cures. You want one that is unquestionably harmless. You want one that La pleasant to take. Chamberlain's

Tough Remedy meets all of ttwaae conditions. There is nothing so good for tl.e coughs sad colds incident to childhood. It is also a certain preventive and cure, for croup, and there ia no danger what- | ever from whooping cough when it is given.. It has been used in many epi- demics of that disease with perfect success. For sale by all druggists. Law- ; rence; E. M. 4 W. A. Allen, Andover: C. H Shattuck, Ballardvale.

ALL GOOD THINGS must win upon their merits. The International Dictionary has won a greater distinction upon its merits and is in more general use than any other work of its kind in the English language.

A. H. Mayre, Uajk.. I).I>„ of Oxford 1'nlveralty, Fug-land, has recently Said of ft: It Is indeed a marvelous work; It Is difficult to conceive of a dictionary more exhaustive and complete. Everything is In It — not only what we might expect to And In such a work, but alao what few of us would ever have thought of looking for.

A supplement to the new edition has brought It fully up to date. I have been looking- through the latter with a feeling of astonishment at Its completeness, arid the amount of labor that has been put into It. *

Every mother In Andover is asked to try Vinol on our guarantee to make children robust, strong and healthy or return money if it fails. Vinol is a pure cod liver Oil preparation, but without a drop of oil to upset the stomach ami retard its work. Ir is delicious to the taste and children love it. It does not taste, nor look, nor smell like a cod liver preparation—yet it is.

We have never sold anything in our store equal to Vinol to create strength for old people, weak, sickly women and children; E M. A \V. A. Allen.

peerless spectacular production of the century, has proven a powerful magnate at the Colonial theatre, and last week played to the largest receipts ever taken in a, Boston theatre during the final week of Lent. Monday evening witnessed the beginning of the third week of this dazzling entertainment, and as it is impossible to conceive a performance more fitted to the Eastertide festivity, the remarkable prosperity that has attained to this production from the night of its opening performance will be maintained. A special holiday matinee will be given ou^Patriots' Day, April lit.

There was a good attendance at both services and Christ's resurrection was uppermost in the thoughts of all.

ASSOCIATION FOOTBALL Andover 8; US. Bunting o.

The Andover Association football team a<lmini*ttered a stinging defeat to the U, 8, Bunting aggreication last Saturday afternoon on the home grounds, the score being A to 0. Andover played all around her opponents at all stages of the game and at no time during the contest was her goal in danger. In the first half good football was exhibited but in the second it was uninteresting and one- sided.

For Andover, Richardson played a star game, making four of the goals. Fal- coner, Cairnie ami W. Rennie also-played well. Matthew's passing and kicking was very good.

Summary—Goals made by Richardson 4, Falconer '2, Cairnie 1, W. Rennie 1. Time, 45 minute halves.

The canoes which were used for racing and many pleasure canoes were destroyed. Some of the best paddlers in the club live in this I town and as there.is to he a regatta on M.iv no, at Manchester, N. II.. the loss of I training will seriously handicap the chances of success, although the men will endeavor to give a good account of : themselves. It is 'expected that the i house will be rebuilt right away and j will be more attractive than the destroyed structure.

Rev. R. H. Keller, general soliciting agent and corresponding secretary of I rhe Alabama Colored Orphan's and Old i Folk's Home, has been In -town this week, soliciting aid from prominent citizens for the erection of a reformatory i for the reclamation-of the wayward boys ' and girls of Alabama. Mr. Keller is the [minder of the home and he had letters ■ it indorsement from Governor Jelks of Alabama, Mayor Drennen of Birming- ham, Ala., Booker T. Washington, John P. Morgan, John D. bong end Rev. Frank R. Shipman. pastor of the South church. The cause appears to be a worthy one and it is hoped that Mr. Keller will receive much •aid in the town. Hon. John D. Long is a trustee of the institution.

The death of Rev. A. H. Amory, Sat- urday night ait Lynn brought grief not alone to the Episcopalians of this city, to whom he ministered for 18 years, but to all classes of people here, who early realized that Mr. Amory was not a partisan in the exercise of his creed, but comprehended the broadest views of Catholic Christianity. Mi. Amory embraced the ministry, not as

. profession, but us a duty he owed to hi? Creator. In all the years that he was In orders Mr. Amory was ever the minister of God. He was always the priest of his people, the master of his flock. His life preached the lesson of seif-sacriflce, of unselfishness, cf earnest devotion to religious ideals. He taught the beautiful truths of Christ crucified, for those who truly believe, through his own example of living ab an humble servant OT God and as an upright-minded Christian gentleman. The ministry did not attract Mi. Amory because of its rewards and emoluments. He became a clergyman because by so doing he would be able to do good in a wide field and to accomplish more for the cause of hu- manity than is possible to the epherr to which a layman is restricted.

Mr. Armory received his death blow while performing one of those deeds of self-sacrifice which do not show o;i the role or ordinary heroism but which are recorded high among those which are pleasing in the sight of Heaven. He was making pastoral calls on on^ occasion at Lynn and In making a short cut endeavored to cross Flax pond on the ice. The latter, however, was treacherous, and Mr. Amory was precipitated into the water. The expc rience and the exposure to one of his I physical build produced complications j which compelled him to take to his | bed. Death resulted early Saturday evening at St. Stephen's rectory in Lynn.

Augustine Head Amory was a native of Boston, born there in 1849. He was graduated from the public schools of that city and from Harvard college and also the Divinity school at Cam- bridge. His first ministry* was as assistant to Rev. William Lawrence as reotor of Grace church in this city. They were cousins, and their careers remarkably alike—each coming of a wealthy family, graduating from Har- vard and the Divinity school and each

■scorning direct from there to begin his ministrations in Lawrence. After the succession of the Rev. William Law- i rence to' head *of the Massachusetts] diocese Mr. Amory became rector of Grace church. L'nder Its first rector, i Dr. Packard, "Grace parish was classed '■ among the Low churches; under Bish- , op Lawrence It became broad in KB***

Lynn, was elevated to the position of Bishop of Porto Rico, Rev. Mr. Amory was chosen to succeed him In the important work at St. Stephen's. He as- sumed this charge because it gave him greater opportunity to do good, and not because the appointment contributed In any way honor or distinction to himself.

In 1SKH) Mr. Amory was made arch- deacon of the Lowell district or arch- deaconry, succeeding in that position the Rev. J. H. Van Buren of Lynn. whom he later succeeded as rector of St. Stephen's.

Mr. Amory's success as a minister was largely because of his earnestness. Grace church, strong as it was before, became stronger and a better agency for Christian work under Mr. Amory's teaching.

The immediate surviving family com- prises Mrs. Amory and two sons. He leaves also two sisters.

Scrawny Girls With Hollole Cheeks and Salloto

Complexions May Again "Be

Plump and Rosy

Many girls have grown old and homely with the bert part of life still Ixt'.ire them.

Something has gone wrong with the seat of life the stomach.

Foods do not digest-and consequently there is no new blood. The body becomes a furnace without fuel. It begins to cat itself. The tissues, the muscles, the strength built up in the past, now goto support life. The once beautiful and healthy girl becomes emaciated, angu- lar, hollow cheeked and stoop shouldered. Her complexion is yellow and wrinkled. She is a soured old woman.

Dyspepsia does all this.

This terrible disease was always difficult to overcome, out we have at last found a positive anil permanent cure—'- Rexall Dyspepsia Tablets.

Our new remedy supplies the one element/the lack of which in the gastric juices is the sole cause of dvspepsia. It stimulates the digestive organs to perfect action and enables them to extract the last particle of blood and health and strength from the food eaten. ■

Rexall Dysfyepsia Tablets will tone up vour system, quiet your nerves, make you sleep Bqund, show you the bright side of life, clear your complexion and give you the firm, plump flesh nature intended you to have.

We give you back your money if they fail to cure you.

All Salt Out of Same Kettle. Some interesting light ia thrown on

the tricks of the salt trust by the testimony of Nathan 8. Bcardslee, one of the receivers of the National Salt company. In a case before the supreme court at New York. The case grew out of the auction sale of the salt plant at Ithaca, N. Y., as decreed by the directors July 2S. 1003. The receiver said that the property sold Included valuable brands and trademarks, such as "The Purity Salt." 'When asked If this brand of salt was different from the other cheaper brands Mr. Beards- lee said, "They all come out of the same kettle." The high price, he said, was justified by the extensive advertising the brand got.

Universal Religion. "Religion and Religions" ia the BUg-

gestive title of an article by the Rev. Dr. R. llebcr Newton In the April North American Review which is likely to create discussion. Dr. New- ton nssumes that while the religions of

man are many the religion of man is one. In other words, all are "but variations of the one true religion, the life of God In the soul of mac." He con- tends that the church was an Institution of Chaldea, India and Egypt mil- lenniums ' ago, as It ia of Italy* England and

Dr. Newton. , America of today, and he finds prototypes of the Christian communion In the sacred meals of the secret societies of pagan- Ism, collegia of Hdinun"n<I the labor unions of Greece. lie finds that, though outer forms of human prayer may differ, their inner substance Is one—"the desire for the knowledge of God, the longing for the forgiveness of sins and pence with God. the realization of the oneness of man with his source and spring." Dr. Newton reaches the con elusion that foreign missionary work is folly and crime, proceeding on the theory that Christianity holds a mo nopoly of all religion and that there are "no plants of the Heavenly Fa- ther's planting in the soil of India."

Mormons Against Polygamy. At the final session of the semian-

The Democracy's Candidate Chase The silent sago of Esopus appears to be making headway along

the smooth highway of least resistance. In other words, the boom for Chief Judge Alton B. Parker of New York has served as a convenient nucleus for, the conservative Kcmocrats, east, west and south. Those Democrats opposed to bis nomination are making the most of his alienee on politlcnl Issues, claiming that on this account he could not be eipected to arouse much enthusiasm. The statement has been made by Mr. Parker's friends, however, that he will consistently decline to express any views unless he Is nominated. They say that lie has no desire to make a platform for the Democratic party, but Is willing to have the party make a platform for him. They think that his principal strength lies in hla having been out of active politics for eighteen years, while serving in his Judicial capacity

Former President Cleveland Is out for Par- Judge Alton B. Parker; Star, arM) Gorman la aald to be friendly, but Bry- an continues to fight sbj of any "Hill man."

IS WARRANTED

Tli** death of Prof. Smyth bus come as ;\ distinct shock to the conmiunity. For forty years he had been "a resident of Andover, and for the greater pert of that time he had been a leading coun- sellor in many of the town's best activities. As a scholar and theologian, his place was made secure long before the great test came when the nobility of his < 'hristian character was so clearly shown through the famous "Andover case" in which he was the central figure. Few men have ever been brought to a more severe trial than was Prof. Smyth a} that time, and certainly the records of American theological history contain few examples of inoie noble Itearing under severe stress than he showed.

Theologians might differ as to the technical truth of the heresy charges, but no one in Andover would ever allow the name of " heretic " to attach itself to the peaceful, white haired gentleman, whose beautiful character in public and private, had endeared him to every one in the town.

His interest in the town and all its institutions was very strong, and he had taken particular interest in the street railway questions constantly arising. To him more than to any other Andover citizen probably, the street railway was a nuisance, on account of the end of the line being at his residence, but he had never complained. Instead, he was always courteous, and always helpful to every kind of a way- farer, and always patient with every form of discomfort that came.

The life of Prof. Smyth was one of the sweet benedictions that such communities as Andover occasionally get from the men whose daily interests are ajwirt from the real town activity, yet whose deep love for fellow men is ever showing in public life.

Churchill, Bancroft, Smyth; a trio such as few communities and few institutions are ever blessed with at one time. AVe no longer say of such lives that their places cannot lie filled, because the swiftly changing conditions always provide the new individuals to carry on a given work. Hut such lives as these cannot lie lost to a town or an institution without leaving a rich heri- tage to inspire those who follow. From Prof. Smyth's life there is left to Ando- ver a memory of sweet character, Christian courtesy, patience, and broth- erly love, that cannot fail to be a constant inspiration to all who have felt its influence. . . > *

MAIN STREET


The street railway problem is one of those troubles that is ever with us. No sooner is.one phase cleared up. than another breaks forth ; atuj sometimes there are several eruptions at once. .lust at present there1 are two such, one indirectly connected with the double tracking to Iîwrence, the other a direct request for a very handsome start of a 1000 feet on a double track to Heading. And it is very clear in the minds of about every one that the whole idea is a double track line from Lawrence to Boston.

The question of double tracks to Lawrence seems to hinge upon the widening of Main street from the Square to Harding street. That i- the indirect issue arising from the petition of the H. .fc N. Company to lay their second track as far as Harding street, a point which they evidently selected as a terminus because of the condition of things above Harding street. Our attention has been called to a point brought out by Engineer J. E. Smith at the recent hearing which seems to have Iteeii omitted from the report. and which appears to be most excellent common sense. Mr. Smith urged the very great importance of immediate action on the part of the County commissioners in placing the bounds of the street and fixing the land damages. With that much done, Mr. Smith believes it will be an easy matter to arrange the terms under which a location for another track might lie granted. There would l>e no necessity of rebuilding the street, or for assessing the damages, until such time as the road was widened.

The llMMl feet of "turnout" on the bill brought forth considerable opposition. It looks, however, as if "the horse had already been stolen", for there seemed to be very clear evidence that the company already has a )>er- mit to do the work more formally petitioned not been should be extension LJIU rence. the select.

The Rev. Egbert Coffin Smyth, I). D., professor of ecclesiastical history at the Andover Theological seminary and one of the most noted Congregational theologians in the country, died 'suddenly Tuesday night at his home on Main street, Andover, aged 74 years.

He went to New Haven several days ago and contracted a severe cold. He improved, however, and returned to his home in Andover, Saturday, bronchial pneumonia developed, but the attack did not appear to be severe and after a day or two he began to improve. At 5 o'clock Tuesday night his physicians, considered his condition satisfactory. About V o'clock, however, the action of the heart suddenly became weak, and despite all efforts to stimulate the organ, he passed away.

Dr. Smyth had nearly completed 40 years of service at the theological seminary in Andover. For -JO years lie was president of the faculty of the institution. '■

About PJ years ago he and tive other professors were tried for heresy, and after a famous trial he was acquitted.

He was born in Brunswick, Me., his father being Prof. William Smyth of Bowdoin college. He himself was graduated lit.m Bowdoiu and from Andover theological seminary.

In his long career at Andover be had come in close contact with hundreds of young men from all over the country, who had come to Andover to stuiy for the ministry, and he endeared himself to all by his earnest, kindly ways and inspired all by his sincerity and breadth of character. He was an interesting preacher and a pleasing conversationalist. Though an extremely busy man, lie always found time to devote to the students of the seminary. They were always welcome at Ids home. He frequently gave them counsel and his advice was much sought.

Dr. Smyth took great interest in town affairs and was a familiar figure at all town meetings.

His kindly nature and his thoughtful- ness for the welfare and comfort of others is well attested by the hospitality he extended to street railway passengers who, before the cars of the Law rence and Heading line rau to Lawrence, were frequently obliged to wait on Andover hill. The old terminus was opposite Prof. Smyth's house, and frequently in stormy weather he invited the waiting passengers, who would otherwise be obliged to stand without shelter, to his broad covered piazza. Though frequent; ly annoyed by the thoughtless ones, who abused the privilege extended, he continued the practice until a waiting room was established.

At the time of his death, Prof. Smyth was much interested in a book on Jona- than Edwards, the noted theologian, whose anniversary was observed in An- dover last year. It was for the purpose of securing material for this book that he went to New Haven recently. The publication was to contain the addresses delivered at the auuiversary and also a biography of President Edwards from the pen of Prof. Smyth, besides other matter of interest to the followers of Ed- wards, which he was compiling,

His wife was a direct descendent of Edwards and she possessed the manu- scripts of many of his unpublished sermons and essays. The book was nearly completeo and is to be published this year by the Andover Press. Prof. Smyth had spent a great deal of time „in securing mat (er for the book and he left his material in such shaVe that it will be possible to complete the work.

Dr. Smyth's wife, who was Elizabeth Dwight, died February 8, this year, of pneumonia, and her death was a great shock to him.

They had no children. Dr. Smyth is survived by three brothers. Dr. Newman Smyth of New Haven, Conn., Ceorge A. Smyth of Oak Park, 111., and Frederick Smyth, who is now in California.

Funeral services are being held this afternoon. .

Democratic Caucus.

The Democratic caucus was held in the lower Town hall on Tuesday evening at 8 o'clock, when one delegate was elected to the State and one to the Con- gressional convention.

The meeting opened with William C. Crow ley, chairman of the Democratic Town committee, in the chair and the caucus call was read by him. Mr. Crow- ley was elected permanent chairman and Dr. .1. J. Daley permanent secretary. It was voted to ballot for delegates with the following result: Whole number of votes cast, 17; William C. Crowley 17, Daniel A. Collins 17. and they were declared elected. The former will go to the State and the latter to the Congres- sional convention. Both men are favorable to olney.

WK.s. KLIZA GOILD.

The death of Mrs. Eliza Gould, widow of the late Albert Gould, occurred at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Ira Randall on Friday, April 1st, after a lingering illness. Mrs. Gould was born in North Bridgdon, Me., and was 74 years of age at the time of death. The body was taken to her former home in Maine, where it was interred. Death was due to a cerebral hemorrhage.

MRS. HELEN (CLARK) LEAVITT.

An extremely sad death occurred last Sunday morning, when Mis. Helen Clark Leavitt passed away at the sana- torium of Dr. J, A. Leitch. The deceased had been a patient sufferer for many long weeks and the end came peacefully after a stubborn but unsuccessful fight. She was but twenty-three years of age.

Mrs. Leavitt was born in Milton, Vt., and was the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Joel J*. Clark. She had lived in that town all her life, but was well known here, where she occasionally visited her sister, Mrs. William Odlin, and brother, William Clark. She was married a few months ago to Mr. Leavitt, and this fact makes the blow a most severe one.

The funeral was held at Milton on Tuesday, and interment was in that town.

MARTIN LUNDGREN. On Monday occurred the death of

Martin Lundgren, a well known citizen of this town, at his home on Essex street after an illness of only nine days, death being caused by pneumonia.

FOR ATHLETIC UNION

Meeting of Athletic Interest Held Saturday Evening and Organization Perfected.

i in last Saturday evening a meeting of youDg men interested In the formation of an Andover Athletic Association, was ;.eld in t he lower Town hall, at which there wax an attendance of about 50. Il was explained to tin- gathering that the purpose was for the formation of such an organization. He tilted tbat the idea waa to have the ath- letii) interests of the town in a more concentrated form, or in other words to have the best men represent the town in any game in which they partake, all )<la>ers working to uphold the reputation of the town-.

Organization was the first thing to be accomplished and .f. X. Cole was eleeted temporary chairman, with David L. ' mitts, temporary secretary.

A discussion followed in whieh many opinions were given and questions were asked to net more light on tlie topic.

Philip Heed said that lie was heartily >a :;»»<)■ of the project and hoped tltat it "mild be successful. He thought that a manager should be chosen who was not J-player and that possibly a vomnmW luould be chosen to aid him.

On the quest iotjfcof dues John Sweeney thought that it would be a good scheme. to have the dues divided into grades. This particular subject was thoroughly discussed and It was later voted to fix ■lie fees, as follows: honorary member-

>ip>.">, senior membership ,*3; junior Membership *1.

Mr. Cole said that it was the hope of

the Park commissioners to have the new field in good condition for playing in a short time and that two diamonds, with possibly a third would be laid out there. He hoped that in a comparatively short time an outdoor gymnasium would be arranged and that later a building would toe found where an indoor gymnasium could be fitted up.

The opinions of members of various independent teams was called for by the chairman in regard to their teams joining the association and nearly all seemed heartily in favor of it.

Committees were then chosen, the chairman appointing three men to serve as a nominating committee to bring in a list of permanent officers to be ballotted

.for at the next meeting. These were Frederick S. Bout well.

Andrew McTemen and John Sweeney! The other committees were as follows: Membership, Neablt G. Uleason, John Sweeney, John Law son, Howard Bell, Michael Maloney, Walter Thompson] Cutter Foster. Philip Reed and Stewart Clement; By-Laws, William C. Crowley, Myron E. Guttersdn, Mahsolm McTernen, Frederick S. Bout well and David L Courts; arrangements, Edward Nolan. John Lynch, Joseph Maroney. The duties of tlie latter committee are to look after the playing material and other necessaries.

It was voted to hold the next meeting on Saturday evening. April 28. At the close of the meeting ;;* fellows signed the application for membership.

IN BRIGHTER RUSSIA

Dr. Bowker Lectures on the Slav as he Found Him in His

^Travels Through Russia.

'»n last Friday evening occurred the ilostrated lecture by Dr. J. C. Bowker ''Lawrence on "Russia." The lecture *M exceedingly interesting and the ■odisnee of about 800 thoroughly en- "\M every word that the brilliant •leaker uttered. The pictures were tautifiil, the colored ones being an ex- nisite piece of workmanship. Hie lecture was given under the aus-

Mcttof Anduver lodge. No. '2W I. i). O. F„ 'I was held in the town hall. The 'lience was not as large as «vas wished

,|r. as owing to the uncertain weather âny were kept away.

■Jr. Bowker was introduced bv Kepre- *"tative John N. Cole who said that ll"la*t time he had the pleasure of in-

:r*«iiciii(j him was about ten years ago •ben the "People's course" of lectures **> Popular and was conducted with """tli success. He said that at that time

^ was rather nervous about what im- /ffssion the then comparatively young '■eturer would make. He was, however, "si than gratified on hearing Dr. Bow- "; "peak, the lecture being a great eno

"t. Bowker then told of the beauties 1'Hiwia and the life of the various

'ênof people from the Czar down to ^Poorest peasant. He said that the

l!,sian people are misrepresented, p being called un-Christian and sel-

"' This is entirely unjust, as to his "1^1 the people are Christian and gen-

""'*• They are generous in their ■ lr''li work, giving amounts for the °r*rauch larger than they-can afford,

\ ' lt is looked upon as a dutv and ■'before they must abide bv It. The

relies are all built very lavishly, the u/lsf °' eacl1 being beautifully carved

11 P»mted, and on all, domes are place*! lll'h are covered with pure gold. The i*n»e of these structures 7s enormous. 'e services, too, are elaborate, in keep-

's *uh the beauty of the edifice. The Wo* is considered by some to be the

finest in the world. There is no instrumental music and all the vocalists are males.

Dr. Bowker said that he was sure that if the peasants had a chance to be educated they would be an exceedingly smart ami clever people. At present they are poor and more or less ignorant and do not have a chance to better their condition.

He said that he was sorry that so many people were down on Russia in the tight between that" country and Japan. Many people sided with the smaller nation without knowing the correct situation. He thought that the only outcome would be a complete victory for the "bear.'"

On his visit to that country his reception by all tlie nobility with whom he came in contact was very cordial and he was very much pleased with the hospitality of the people all over the empire. The use of a passport he thought very inconvenient although very desirable as it keeps a great many undesirable people out of the country, as by its use their identity would he known.

He said that a great many men visit Russia and return to write on the poor or low side of the country and forget to mention the beauties and the ele- vating condition of the place. For this reason the Century M<iynziu< is boy- cotted as it contained a number of articles some lime ago severely condemning the Russian government and people.

He told of the gjiertV amount of police protection in rfie large cities and also the large number of soldiers which are constantly on the stijeefs guarding the interests of the inhabitants.

The lecture came to/a close all too soon as all were deeply interested and would gladly have listened inrch longer.

The floor was then cleared and the grand march, led by Mr. ami Mrs. E. It. Barton, was taken up in which about :!0 couples participated. Dancing followed and was enjoyed until about one o'clock.

OPPOSED REQUEST FOR TURNOUT

Hearing Held Before the Selectmen Monday, on Petition of Boston & Northern.

A public hearing was held at 4 o'clock on Monday' afternoon before the full board of Selectmen, on a petition of the Boston & Northern Street Railway company, to grant them a location for a turnout on Main street, commencing at, or near the Hidden road and extending northerly for a distance of one thousand feet, together with the right to erect necessary poles and overhead wires, aitd the right to electrically operate said tracks and the overhead work as a part of its electric system.

Chairman H. Frank Smith called the meeting to order and read the call for the hearing. He then opened the subject for discussion among the ten citizens who were present. Col. C. F. Woodward, representing the petitioners, was present and he opened the argu- ment in favor of granting the location. He said that tlie petition was granted last year when a hearing WM held but nothing was done on it. Since that time the road has made a rule that all work proposed by them must first come before tlie citizens of a town at a hearing and therefore it was necessary for this to again come before tlie citizens of the town. The reason for the proposed turnout, he said, was to make running time on the road much evener and get rid of delays on the hill. It is the in. teution to change cars somewhere on this turnout instead of at the end of the double tracks on Main street. He said that it was an annoyance to wait for a car but tlie greater annoyance came to tlie occupants of residences at this point when passengers had to wait for a car.

Michael F. D'Arcy was the next speaker and he was very indignant at what he called bare faced audacity on the part of the street railway company in asking favors from the town and never giving anything in return. He was opposed to giving them one foot more to lay tracks upon until conditions were made better with what they already own. He claimed tbat the stock of the road is owned by a number of Jews in Philadelphia and that it was a mismanaged affair in consequence as the stock holders were after the money, regardless of public convenience. He said that the conditions during the winter mouths were disgraceful to a town. muiiy times passengers being put .out of the car on tlie hill w hen there was not another one to get into.

I'rof. Charles H. Forbes of Phillips academy wanted to know if the road would charge another five cents for the ride between the top of the hill and the end of the proposed turnout. Col. Woodward said that he did not know what the plans were in regard to this particular place but there was a law regulating the fares and he supposed that the company would live up to the law Prof. Forbes thought that the company was asking a big favor but he saw that no benefit would eome to the public of Andover if an extra five centa was to be charged on this piece of road.

He said that in granting a location to the railroad company the Selectmen should see that the town in general was getting something in return and not give, give, give all the time when no benefit was accruing from the grants. He cited incidents that occurred during the winter when the conditions were deplorable for such a concern as the Bos- ton A Northern. He corroborated Mr. D'Arcy* statement, that people were obliged to leave the cars on the lull and stand in all kinds of weather, whereas this might have been remedied by placing an unused car there to afford shelter at least, to the travelers. '

Col. Woodward agreed that the road was run poorly during the past winter but said that it was impossible to keep the road in condition for travel as the weather was unusually severe for roads all over the country. He discredited the statement made by Mr. D'Arcy that tlie road was owned in Philadelphia, but said that the largest part of tlie stock was owned by men in Massachusetts, some of it being in Andover. He said that the c impany would put the road in as good condition as the Massachusetts Board bf Itailioad commissioners demand. He thought that Mr. D'Arcy's story was exaggerated and hoped that no one would credit it.

Mr. ll'Arry replied that his story was not exaggerated but was not pictured bad enough. He thought that the selectmen should be sure and get something in return for favors granted. He thought that some way could be found to better the system but he did not want tlie town to give away all the land which the road wanted.

Selectman Boutwell asked Mr. D'Arcy if he would be willing to grant the location if it would benefit the public. He said that he would.

Prof. Forbes thought that if the five cent ride limit went to the extreme southerly end of the turnout it would be an advantage, otherwise it would not. Col. Woodward said that the only thing to be done in that case would be to go to the Railroad commissioners when a hearing would be granted.

William C. Crowley asked the Board of Selectmen why the railroad did not ask for double tracks all the way to the square instead of stopping at Harding street as in the last petition. He asked if it was not for the reason that the town was considering tlie advisability of straightening North Main street, and if this request had been made by the road previous to the hearing before the County Commissioners they would have to stand part of the expense. Thla question could not be answered officially but each had an opinion.

In closing Mr. D'Arcy said that tl e selectmen were guardians of the interests of the citizens of Andover and as such he hoped that they would exercise their authority and refuse tlie petition.

The meeting adjourned at !i o'cutck without a decision being rendered.

TOWN MEETING IN PANTOMIME •

Articles of Immense Importance Discussed in South Church

Vestry Tuesday Evening.

, Mrs. .Julia Ward Howe has recently given in a neighboring town a " Plea for Humour". If she had been in our town last Tuesday night, she would not have thought Andover needed such a plea, for no place appreciates more fully than she, the need and the value, " now and then", of good side-shaking laughter. ' Andover the town of culture and refinement. Andover the place of education and educators *•. was fully represented in the large audience in the South church vestry at the presentation of a " Tow n Meeting ". The meeting was called to order by the clerk, Lady Black- smith, in cap and gown, who used for the first time a little instrument called "The Woman's (gramophone", which, by delicately adjusted machinery, could read the minds of women, but has not yet been perfected to read the minus of men. On being questioned, the Grama- phone declared that "poor 'Jeorgiana" was, for the fiftieth time, the unanimous choice of the meeting for Moderator. Miss (ieorgiana, with appropriate words, accepted the honor, and promised to "serve her fellow citizenesses to the best of her limited ability and extended experience". The business of the evening was then taken up. Miss Progress Day opening the first article, by arguing for a change in the Interior of Memorial Hall Library, so that access could be had to the books. A motion was made that Andrew Carnegie be petitioned for a new library, " so arranged that whoever wished to ruam around the books, taking a peep here and a look there, might do so. and that tlie cat tax, a probable £•'.,700 be appropriated for its support."

Article ft.—Miss Mary Jane and others argued that bachelors should m>t be taxed, but were voted down by the "sense of the meeting ".

Article 5.—By consulting with '* Pa and the boys", Mrs. E. Flora Essence had learned her arguments, and it was therefore voted to elect a man on the school board. Decided to begin cautiously, and elect a man "one at a time that they might be leavjng ".

Article 0 was eloquently presented by Mr. and Mrs. Needham and the baby, and unanimously voted.

Article 7 wan rich in good advice ami bright allusion. A committee ot fifteen women was appointed. . -

opportunity was now given for the gentlemen to vote for School committee. Several who had boldly registered their names, quailed before the ordeal and did not'avail themselves of their privilege, but (as was afterwards discovered) forty votes were cast by the seven who came to the ballot box. The result, as announced, was Miss Charlotte Helen Abbot, assisted by Harriett Rogers, Keeper of the Peace. The discussion was then continued on Article 8.

Samanthy AIIAfl who had created no end of merriment by her running fire of remarks on everybody and everything, now took the Iloor, blue cotton umbrella in hand, and convulsed the audieuce by her droll appearance and talk. She was followed by Tryphenia Doolittle, the nurse, who defended the use of electricity on street cars. Carrie Nation, hatchet in hand, then rose to her feet, and explained her interest in the article because of having walked from Frye Village to Andover Square after dark "because the power gave out," besides having retrograded from the hill to the Square four times. Several other good reasons, characteristically treated, were given for going back to horses, and then a plea for one fare from all parts of Andover to Lawrence and North Ando- ver was made.

Article (t.—Voted to "lay on the table." Article 10.—Voted to impose a fine on

any chimney that smokes more than ten minutes a day, Mrs. Anon, the Poetess and Prose Essayist, citing facts learned in a recent visit to Chicago, aa to their efforts to abolish the smoke nuisance.

Article 12.—Mrs. Osi Witty showed that the town horses are used to run to tires, build the roads, sprinkle the streets, scrape the snow, sand the side- walks, at the behest of ,„nn. Voted that they be let to women whenever they have no other means of conveyance.

Article I.J.—Miss Jollie by prose and poetry convinced the meeting that they *hovld provide a room to teach wood sawing.

At this point the hour set for adjourn- ment, 9.80b arrived and the rest of the articles were postponed to the next Town meeting.

The costumes were interesting and unique, from Samanthy Allen in gorgeous garnet satin with ruffled and lace

| trimmed shirt, and Joalafa in stock and ! dickey, bandanna haudkerchief and tail I coat of uncertain age, to the maiden in ! her bonnet of the Ittth century whoar- j gued -li;/ly that bachelors should not be ! taxed. Some wore the old fashioned i black silk bonnets that "looked so na- | tural" and some wore the gown of today. I Miss Doolittle ran away from a "case"

in her nurse's costume, spoon in hand, in order lo take part in the discussion. ' arrie Nation wore a black skirt Trimmed with yellow hatchets, and a plume or rooster's feathers in her bonnet and carried a glass hatchet, she did not prove so incomprehensible or irrepres- sible as the moderator anticipated no doubt from the impossibility of yetting a "word in edgewise." The most complete costumes from the "crown of their heads 'o the sole of their feet," aside from Samanthy and .J osi ah, were worn by the moderator and Hepzibah High- strung* Rich indeed the trunks that hold such heir-looms.

Card of Thanks.

We wish to thank our neighbors and friends for their many kindnesses during our recent bereavement.

CONFERENCE ENDED Public M-etltiKB Held Thin Week at the

Seminary of Great Interest and Well Attended.

The Conference of Massachusetts Home Missionary pastors continued its session at the Theological Seminary last Saturday morning. But two lectures wete given, one by Prof. Ryder on the "Gospel of Mark" and one by Prof. Day, on "Comprehensiveness In Preaching." Almost the entire company proceeded to Salem in the afternoon, where leader the direction »f Dr. DeVVitt S. Clark and Rev. Mr. Brodle and under the competent guidance of C. H. Hay ward, whom all visitors to Salem should secure as a guide, visited the historic paces of that, most Interesting New Kngland memorial city.

On Sunday the majority of the conference attended a service at the Sem- inary church and heard a suggestive sermon by Prof. Ryder upon "The Things which cannot be Shaken."

The lectures were resumed on Mon- day when Prof. Ilincks lectured upon "Christ, the Divine Son," and Prof. Ryder on ••The Kirst Uospel." On that sain.' evening Rev, Frederick H. Page of Lawrence conducted a general meeting on the subject, "Our Wider Home Missionary Interests." Eloquent addresses were given by Rev. R. A. Heard Rev. Byron For bush; Ph. D., and secretary Q, IL (iutterson. The latin's splendid plea for a just outcome of the negro problem elicited much applause and called around him at its close the several colored ministers present.

Lecture* followed on Tuesday when Prof. Hinck* spoke on "The Atonement and Redemption through Christ," and Prof. Day upon the "Questions of Fi- nances." Another vigorous general meeting was held in the evening over which Rev. Arthur Little D. D., of Boston presided. Able addresses were mule by Secretary .L L. Barton, I). D., Rev. W. H. Davis, D. D., and Asst. Secretary Harry Wade Hicks, the latter outlining with great clearness and vigor the best methods in instructing young people in foreign missions.

On Wednesday morning chapel prayers were' conducted by Prof. Ryder, who spoke briefly of the death of Pro- fessor Egbert €. Smyth on the previous evening; and led in lender and impres- sive services to which the conference re- sponded deeply.

The lectures of the day were given by Prof. Ryder on "The Gospel ot Luke", by Prof. Day on "Spiritual Effective- ness" and by Prof. Arnold on "The Character of the Old Testament Scrip- tures."

The evening meetins was a prayer and experience meeting led by Prof, llineks which called out. interesting testimonials and expressions from the visiting pastors.

The final lectures of the conference came on Thursday morning, when Dr. Gates lectured on "The History of Israel after the Exile", and Prof, Platner gave a lecture upon "Martin Luther." prefacing his remarks by appreciatrve words regarding Dr. Smyth..

Perhaps the most significant of all the * gatherings came on Thursday afternoon at which the speaker* were tlie Mission* ary secretaries of the various New Kngland states, and their subjects ware the most pressing problems of this part of the United States. *

The Sacrament of the Lord'* Supper was obseived at ■> o'clock and- at 7.XO another general meeting WM held which called out a large attendance, and over which Rev William K. WmYott of iJaw- rence presided. The subject was, 'Some broader aspects of our Congre- gational life and ialtnencs," and those who discussed this important toni. ■ were Rev. Frederick A. Neble, 1> D , ex-moderator of the Nat ion*. Ciiiincil. the lie v. A. E. Dunning, D. ))., editox of the ('iinyrryntionittiMt, and Kev. O. S. Davis, Ph. D., of Newtonvtlle, one of' tlie prominent workers for Congregationalism in the neighborhood of Boston.

The conference, wkieh lias- been unquestionably successful; came to a close after Chapel prayers this morning and with kind hearts and refreshed minds and bodies the several pastors departed to their homes.

! treated the slaughter of -WM) Tibetans ! at tiuru last week as one of the worst ! blots ou the history of England. Some i papers call it another Jameson raid, al-

though Foreign Secretary Lansdowne has hastened to assure Hussia that there Is no intention of an- nex! ng Tibet, hut only a desire to secure a new treaty. The Balfour ministry has been weakened b y the event. Oth- ers say t h u t the Younghus- band mission is virtually making war on Chi-

Colonel Young husband

Later dispatches say that many of the Tibetan soldiers were killed by their own comrades in the excitement and repulse. Russian papers say that this expedition places England in the same position as to western China that Rn»la holds In Manchuria. Colonel Yonngbusband has gone right ahead to meet the grand lama.

day April o in honor of the launching of the great lo.OOO ton battleship named for the state, which occurred at Newport News, Vn., In the presence of 50.000 spectators. The thirteen-year old daughter of Governor Montague christened the Virginia, which is the largest warship In the American navy. The Virginia is 435 feet long and will have four twelve-inch guns in two tur- rets, eight eight inch and twelve six- Inch rapid fire guns, besides an effective secondary battery.

The Alabama's Thirteen-inch Record. Unofficial advices were received from

the naval squadron at Pensacola, Da., to the effect that the battleship Ala- bama had already beaten the new record wou by the Kearsarge gunners. The crew of Lieutenant Wilson were able to load and tire one of the big thirteen-inch guns In thirty-eight seconds.

Our Population Last Year. Now that we have a permanent cen-

sus bureau we are luxuriating in the more frequent count of American noses, A bulletin issued April 7 estimates the population of. the United States, exclusive of Alaska and the col- onies, at 79,900,389, or an increase of nearly 4,000,000 since 1900. The pro- cession of cities is headed by New York with 3,710,000; Chicago. 1374,000; Philadelphia. 1,308.000; St. Louis and Boston, about 000,000; Baltimore, 531,* 000; Cleveland, 415,000; Cincinnati, 383.000; Buffalo, 381,000; San Francis- co, 300,000; I'ittsburg, 345,000; Detroit, Milwaukee, New Orleans and Washing- ton about 3UO.00O.

the permanent chairman to keep the .on vent ion In order. Governor Mur- phy of New Jersey Is now talked of as ehairman of the national committee.

Chicago Favors Ownership. The only" point of general Interest

about the municipal election at Chi- i ago, Wednesday, was the overwhelm- ing majority in favor of municipal ownership of the street railways. The vote was taken on the Mueller law, passed by the last legislature, author- izing the cities to construct, own, operate and lease street railways if they so elect. The Immediate proposition was to license the existing street railway companies until municipal ownership could be secured. On this question the vote stood 125,744 to 00,893.

New York's Gambler Act. Three Important laws have been en-

acted by the legislature of New York in the past week, all of which create precedents. One was the antigambllug bill advocated by District Attorney Jerome, the avowed object of which was to compel the testimony of Reginald Vanderbllt In order to convict Rich- ard Canfield, the millionaire proprietor of gambling houses. This hill passed the assembly by a vote of 93 to 47 and went to the governor for his signature.

A bill was passed providing pensions for judges of the court of appeals and justices of the supreme court. The opponents openly charged that the judges had used their influence to secure this legislation.

Both houses favored the abolition of the office of coroner in New York city.

Iowa Woman Suffrage Vote. By a vote of 40 to 30 the lower house

of the Iowa legislature went ou record April 4 in favor of woman suffrage. It was predicted by some that the bill would be killed in the senate.

Kansas Democrats Divided. Avoiding the horn of either dilemma

as to presidential preferences the Kan- sas state convention, April 7, followed its usual custom of sending an uninstructed delegation to the national convention. Reports differ as to the per- sonnel of the delegation, Hearst claiming a majority and the conservative faction denying it. Nevertheless the platform contained a warm indorsement of Mr. Hearst's efforts in behalf of the common people and to down the coal trust. The platforms of 1900 and 1S90 were indorsed and confidence was expressed In Mr. Bryan. Evidently, the radical wing was In virtual control.

Coal Trust Must Tell All. That a corporation, no matter how

big, must reveal its secret contracts on demand of the Interstate commerce commission is the opinion of the Unit- ed States supreme court. Such Is in effect the broad significance of the decision handed down in regard to the coal roads, the counsel of which had refused to answer when asked about its secret contract with the Temple Iron company. The question arose in connection with the hearing begun at the instance of W. ft. Hearst. The decision reverses that of the New York circuit court, and a new trial of the case against the coal trust must now follow. The importance of the decision Is felt because of Its probable effect upon all other trusts or corporations suspected of restraining Inter- state commerce.

Harriman Suea Merger, Has the big fight for Northern Pa-

cific been resumed? Either to protect themselves or to determine the legality of the proposes 1 plan of the pro rata distribution of Northern Securities stock the Union Pacific interests, headed by K. II. Harriman and W.S. Pierre. have brought action in the- United States circuit court at St. Paul for an order directing the trust to return to the original shareholders the Northern Pacific stock exchanged for Northern Securities. Ex-Secretary Root has been engaged to defend the merger.

Senator Burton Sentenced. Judge Elmer B. Adams in the United

States court at St. Louis, April 6, sentenced Senator Burton of Kansas to serve six months in jail and pay a fine of $2,500 for having used his official position for private gain. Tbe motion for a new trhil w-as denied. In passing sentence .I.udge Adams said that the humiliation of conviction and the dis qualification from ever holding office under the government again were In themselves heavy punishment, hence the short time of Imprisonment and light fine imposed. Burton was releas ed on a $10,000 bond pending an appeal of his case to a higher court.

Notes. The reading public, especially In the

east, has followed with unusual inter-

Swayne Case Postponed. The Republican leaders in congress

who are in favor of an early adjourn* incut bare avoided the delay attending tin1 impeachment of Judge Swayne by fixing Dec. 13 next as the day when the house will consider the impeachment charges. This postponement was opposed by the Democrats.

Pay of Rural Mail Carriers. The senate agreed to the amendment

fixing the salary of rural mail carriers at $720 a year. A proviso was added permitting the carriers to handle merchandise, take subscriptions for aud deliver newspapers and periodicals.

Eight Hour Bill Referred. The house committee on labor has

decided that the eight hour bill should bo referred to Secretary of Commerce and Labor Cortelyou, with a request to furnish answers to a variety of questions, such as the additional cost to government contracts Involved in the shorter day. the damage to manufacturing Interests, to export trade and whether the labor people are willing to. give up the right to work more than eight hours.

General.

To Set the Republican Pace. The latest responsible report of tbe

administration's plans has it that former Secretary of War Root is to be temporary chairman of the Republican nntlonal convention at Chicago, July 21, making the keynote speech, ami that Speaker Cannon shall be made

EDUCATIONAL

Educational Play Acting. Mrs. Enimons Blaine, Chicago's edu-

cational philanthropist, who has given $1,0110.000 to the school of education in Chi- cago university, advocates in the April Eleuien- tary School Teacher tbe use of dramatic acting as an every- d a y school means in tbe teaching of history, literature, ethics, etc. The plan is already being tried In the experimen- tal classes. Mrs,

Mrs. Emmons Elaine, p l n i n e says

that the dramatic instinct is strong In children, and with training it may help powerfully to construct stronger and better grown-ups, with clearer and finer minds. She says there are few things on the stage ttfat children should see or hear and suggests that the theaters set aside Saturday afternoon for plays to be given for school children.

Geography and News. No matter what the regular graded

course calls for, says the Journal of Education, this Is tbe one time in your life and In the life of the children in which to teach the geography of Rus- sia, Korea, Manchuria and Japan. The pupils will take more interest In the subject because of the news dealing with the Russo-Japanese war. , . *^_

Many women are denied the happiness of children through derangement of the genera- tive organs. Mrs. Beyer advises women to use Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound.

" DEAR MRS. PINKHAM : — I suffered with dtomach complaint for years. I got so bad that I could not carry ray children but five months, then would have a miscarriage. The last time I became pregnant, my husband got me to take Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound. After taking the first bottle I was relieved of the sickness of stomach, and began to feel better in every way. I continued its use and was enabled to carry my baby to maturity. I now have a nice baby girl, and can work better than I ever could before. I am like a new woman." — MRS. FRANK BEYER, 22 S. Second St., Meriden, Conn.

Another case which proves that no other medicine in the world accomplishes the same results &s Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound.

" DEAR MRS. PINKHAM :— I was married for five years and gave birth to two premature children. After that I took Lydia I-:. Pinkham's Vegetable Com- pound, and it changed me from a weak, nervous.woman to a strong, happy and healthy wife within seven months. *Vith- in two years a lovely little girl was born, who is the pride and joy of my household. If every woman who is cured feels as grateful and happy as I do, you must have a hosca^f^riands, for every day I bless you foj the Tight, health and happiness Lydia K. Pinkham's Vegetable

Compound has brought to my home. Sincerely yours, MRS. MAI P. WHARRT, Flat 31, The Norman, Milwaukee, Wis."

Russia Invites the Japanese Advance "Walk Into my fManchmian) parlor," said the (Russian) spider to

the (Japanese) fly. And the fly appears to be going In helter skelter as the spider withdraws into its inland strongholds. But possibly the fly In this story will turn out to be a wasp with a terrible sting.

This Is about the status of tbe great conflict in eastern Asia after two months of sparring? When the advance guard of the Japanese army In northwestern Korea reached WIJu, the principal city on the Korean side of the lalll estuary. April 4, they found, to their surprise, that the Itusslan forces had vanished, presumably having related across the river to Intrench themselves In stronger force. The appearance of numerous transports in and near the mouth of the Yalu Indl cated that large re-enforcements of men and additional supplies were being landed on the south bank of the river for the establishment of a permanent Japanese base. Later advices were that the Japs had taken positions on the Manchurian side, the Jtussians avoiding a decisive battle.

Admiral Togo's fleet again concentrated at Fort Arthur April 9, and. some decisive wortc was looked for. The Russian ships during the week were seen by press boats on tbe high seas, thus proving «rhat Port Ar- thur was still uncorked. *

The attitude of the Chinese continues to cause alarm, as their hos- tility to Russia Is Intensified by the reported excesses of the Russian soldiery.

Mr. John Newscheler one of the executors of the estate of the late Mrs* Henry C. Nevins was in town Satur- day and in behalf of the executors signed an agreement for the purchase of the Ir.galls' estate on Broadway. On this lot will be erected the "Henry C. Xevins Home" for • the aged and incurable, provided for in the will of inf- late Mrs. Nevins. No more desirable location CQttid have been selected. With Its broad frontage, great depth and beautiful trees the spot Is ideal in every particular. It is understood that a landscape gardener will at once be employed to lay out and beautil> the grounds and by the end of June the hfiuse which is now used for school purposes will be moved to another location, this writ being reserved by lht present,-owners of whom Wm. D. Hiirtahorne of the Methuen School board is one.

The purchase price is not given oul but is not, as stated In a morning paper, the same as was offered to the town for its sale for school purposes.

The deeds will probably be executed at a'n early date.

NO CONTEST.

There will be no contest at the election of successor to Selectman G. O. Marsh next Monday, as but one nomination paper has been filed, and the time has now expired for filing them. Kirk F. Brown Is the candlate, and of course will fill the vacancy, after the formality of an election n*xt Monday. Mr. Brown has been selectman previously and will doubtless prove a valuable man on the board.

There is more Catarrh in this section of the country than all other diseases put together, and until the last few years it was supposed to be incurable. For a great many years doctors pronounced it a local disease and prescribed local remedies, and by constantly failing to cure with local treatment, pronounced it incurable. Science has proven catarrh to be a constitutional disease and therefore requires constitutional treatment. Hall's Catarrh Cure, manufac- tured by F. J. Cheney & Co., Toledo, Ohio, is the only constitutional cure on the market. It is taken internally in doses from 10 drops to a teaspoonful. It acts directly on the blood and mucous surfaces of the system. They otter one hundred dollars for any case it fails to cure. Send for circulars and testimonials. Address,

SOFTCORE Like the running brook, the

red blood that flows through I the veins has to come from somewhere.

The springs of red blood are found in the soft core of the bones called the marrow and some say red blood also comes from the spleen. Healthy bone marrow and healthy spleen are full of fat.

Scott's Emulsion makes new blood by feeding the bone marrow and the spleen with the richest of all fats, the pure cod liver oil.

For pale school girls and invalids and for all whose blood is thin a.id pale, Scott's. Emulsion-is a pleasant and rich blood food. It not only feeds the blood-making organs but gives them strength to do their proper work.

YOUR PROTECTION r

IS OUR GAIN O you believe that we can afford to sell you something you don't want or that will not give you satisfaction?

Our business depends on pleased customers. In fact any business does.

Therefore we would take an enormous risk did we not fulfill every promise made in the columns of this newspaper.

With this point in mind—let us ask what risk you take in buying Rexall Mucu-Tone when we say we will give back your money if the remedy doesn't give satisfaction.

If we didn't believe that 98 per cent, of all who have taken Mucu-Tone have been benefited, we would not publish this advertisement.

There are any number of people right here at home who will gladly testify to Mucu-Tone's wonderful virtues, and if you call we'll gladly refer you to them. Read what Mr. Matt. Dillon writes:

11 My little girl had catarrh so badly that the disease had begun to eat into the cartilage of the nose. Snuffs and instruments failed to do more than give temporary relief. I saw the advertisements of Mucu-Tone, but 1 could not believe that anything taken in the stomach could cure the sore membranes of the nose. However, 1 took advantage of your free trial offer and my gut began taking your remedy according to directions. I want to say right here that Mucu-Tone ia certainly the greatest medical discovery of the times, and to thank you for the liberal offer that first induced me to give it a trial. Mucu-Tone has cured my daughter's catarrh completely.' The discharge has stopped altogether and her breath is as sweet as can be. Again thanking you,

MATT. DILLON, 14 N. Swans St., Albany, N. Y."'

If you suffer from any of the following symptoms, we know that Mucu-Tone will immediately cure you. If it doesn't it's our loss, not yours.

Run down—can't work—feel constantly tired- have no appetite—or if you suffer from sore lungs, weakness, nervousness, pains in the stomach or back, then it is that you need Rexall Mucu-Tone.

Catarrh is not confined to the nose and throat. It may start there, but it leads to more serious trouble, particularly to the wasting away of tissues, which means a loss in weight. One bottle of Mucu-Tone will start you on the right road. It will put flesh on your bones and bring new vitality to your system.

Sold only at our store. Large bottle, 89 cents.

E. M. & W. A. ALLEN, DRUGGISTS CANOE CLUB BURNED OUT.

The Are department had one of the fiercest and most difficult fires to flght Monday noon that has occurred In this vicinity for months when an alarm from box 113, situated at the Tiger J, engine house un Mouth Broadway, jum- moned the apparatus to battle with the element at the big and spacious club- house at the Lawrence Canoe club, on the south buntfeof the Merrlmack river, just above the falls.

The apparatus i-ejipondlng to th' alarm included hone '.-ompuntes 3, 4, 5, steamer 4. engine a hook and ladder, i:nd engine 3'a chemical.

At 11.10 William J. Ward, Janitor at the Canoe dub, rushed into the Tiger ?,, and announcetL-that the house was afire. Plremanrhersj recognized that a fire at the club house was not a trivial task and ordered a box alarm. James OIneen ran out and pulled the lever it the fire box. The department respond- ed In short order and within thre^ mlnuteH from ih^ time Janitor Ward entered thr- engine house the company had three hydrant streams and tw> chemical streams piaylng Into the heart of th*- fire, the workshop at the easterly iide of the structure.

The caust* of the fire was the over- turning of ;t kettle cf tar which w is being melted by Mr. Ward over ihe •love in the workshop. This tar W;*B

being melted for service upon the fluat* which Ward was fixing up for club purposeH. Mr. Ward had temporarily left the shop and upon his return ne found that portion of the house a roar- ing mass of names. The bar had over- turned Willie his assistant, Harry De- Lot tlnville. who was helping him In (he repairing, was there alone and although h*- tried to .h*-ck the fire at the outset he was unsuccessful and was »bout to abandon the task and spread the alarm when Ward returned. WarT] Immediately saw that It was useless to try to stop the tit" unaided, as It had already snot up through the partitions and was enveloping the upper floors, and he rnn out to the engine house.

DeLottinviNe set about carrying out ihe movable property and succeeded in getting out sumt* of the building's contents. Including a few small canoes, one Of them belonging to Principal Charles M. Lamprey- A number of other small articles were removed.

Mesaages were sent right off t<> the- officers of the club who soon appeared to give assistance if possible.

Only hydrant streams were used as a sufficient pressure of 7". pounds Is af- forded there- Several lines were directed Into the building, with no apparent effect for some minutes, it looked as though the building would be levelled to the ground but the fire laddies went at It with a will and in the course of half an hour It was under control and pbout 12.IS the all-out was sounded-

At the arrival of the first pieces of apparatus the flames wre Issuing from all the windows of the house and from the tower. The building is a thr--e- story one with an L in which ate the o!ub members' lockers. In the front of the lower story of the building all thf boats of the organization we're stored^ Over M valuable canoes were kept there. The Hub*owned in the vicinity of 30 of them'while if', canoes were ke.pt there by individuals. There wer» three war canoes, two canvas covered canoessn one cedar racer, one cedar club four, and one single cedar racer.. Twen- ty-two of the canoes were canvas covered, and there were three row-boats. There were a number of shells. All these eraff were very valuable and the:r loss cannot be repaired-

The middle story was used as dub room and dance hall, and It in this apartment that the many phies and prized won by the club Mtttdra and several individuals hung upon the walls.

Probably the most serious loss of trophies are those of poljceman Wil- liam ""affrey, who had several prizes for his winnings In the single scull, b°- ing widely Known as. the world champion single scull oarsman. These tro- phles'canriot be replacôf and their loss will be keenly felt.

Practically all the canoea were* destroyed, some by the names, and some by the heat. Hardly one oX lb* canoes will be fit for use without much repairing and iiot many will be any good after treatment. The canvas Is blis- tered on every one, except the very few* that were gotten out. Mr. Ward will suffer a swvere lows as he has spent nearly all the winter building caqocir there, and all are burnt.

The pool table and fixtures in the inp story were, consumed. The Individ-' ualK of tlav club, except those who lost canoes, were very fortunate In the ffaec that the fiery elements did not reach the lockers In which many had valu1*- able outfits for paddling and tennis.

The estimated damage to the cluo* property, boaits, canoeas, shells, racers, etc.. Is from $250* to $5000, us given out by the club officials and to the building estimated by Chief Engineer Chas. O. Rutter. about $1500. Tne structure was substantially constructed aud was valued at ubout $7000, ivith lusurance of j.loOO. The insurance on the contents and building is In the vicinity of $2500: The building and rontents insurance is through the agencies of John K. Nor- wood and Bevlngton and Tongue.-

Many people gathi red to see the fire, and from the Falls bridge a magnificent spectacle was to be seen. (Srfia* volumes of smoke Milled out across llw river and into the air. at! titnr-s completely hiding the hout-e from view.

The c)tib members feel the loss severely, but doubtless the club affairs Will be running smoothly a couple of months from now, as Ihe members will work together to that end.

The stone masons of Haverhill have demanded a 4.1 per cent rate for an eight hour day. 1' is eacpeoted that they will get it

Whether real consumption can be cured, or not, is an opeu question, or to guarantee that any one medicine will pos- ! itively cure consumption would be absurd, but we know there is something about ' the etled of Vinol when taken by per- j sous who either have, or think they have ; consumption, or serious lung troubles, | that is decidedly beneficial-

Wliile we do not guarantee that Vinol I will always cure consumption, we publish herewith extracts from some of the letters received on this subject, which i prove that while we may be conserva- live in our claims, Vinol lias certainly cured these people, and as the letters are guaranteed to be genuine and from reliable persons we must accept the statements as absolutely true:

Mrs. .1. Ii. Brows of Anderson, Ind., writes: "Our daughter Mary was in con- . sumption, and given up to die by our family physician. She « as very weak and emaciated, but Vinol restored her to health in a marvellous manner, and she is as well as ever she was- Words cannot express our gratitude for this valuable cod liver oil preparation."

Mrs. V B. Jenner of Lake wood, X. Y , writes: "1 was in consumption, and no one thought 1 could live. I weighed less than 100 pounds, and my normal weight is 175 pounds. Vinol cured roe, and it seems almost a miracle."

The Rev. Mr. (jHMM of St. Paul's Church, St. Joseph, Mo., writes: "A young man in my congregation hadnhem- orrhages of the lungs which weakened him so that he could not walk a block. 1 recommended Vinol; he has taken four bottles, and feels like a new man ; he eats well, sleeps well, and is getting strong."

Joseph Denis of Winslow. Me, writes: "My son was given up by two doctors to die with consumption, lie was a human skeleton, and could not raise himself in bed. Vinol has cured him so that he is healthy, fat, and as well as any of his playfellows."

We have lots of such letters, and they all contain just such strong, authentic statements, and why should they not be true'.' If old-fashioned CVMI liver oil had any virtue—and we know it had in the treatment of throat and lung troubles— Vinol, of course, is of far greater value: for it not only contains all the medicinal curative elements of cod liver oil, but it is entirely free from the oil or grease which invariably disagrees with the digestive organs and prevents the good that might come from the C<H1 liver oil medicine.

We can only say that any one who is desirous of giving Vinol a trial for any kind of lung troubles may do so at our risk; we will pay for all the Vinol they take which does them no good. This shows that we have great faith in what Vinol can accomplish. E. M. ,v W. A. Allen, Druggists.

GRAND PRESENTATION OF # "MOTHER GOOSE.

The season of the Association football league is fast drawing to a close and the results of tomorrow's games will have an important bearing on the champion- shin. Andover has a good chance of finishing at the top, Lynn and Huston Hovers being the only clubs left to dispute the place with her. Methuen has finished the full number of games and has been defeated only once, the other game lost being the result of a forfeiture to Hunting. Ward 5 and Lawrence have forfeited games to Lynn, thereby materially increasing that club's position, although one of the games would have been a sure victory. Should A ndover win tomorrow and Boston Rovers lose. Andover's title to the championship will be clear; as Ward >S is the only club Andover will have left to play.

1 The Greatest of all Spectacles Now Running at tie Colonial Theatre,

Boston. "Mother Goose," indisputably the

peerless spectacular production of the century, has proven a powerrul mag- net at the Colonial Theatre, for it

I played to the largest receipts ever taken in a Boston theatre during the final week of Lent. Monday evening witnessed the beginning of , the fourth week of this dazzling entertainment, and as it is impossible to conceive a performance more fitted to the Eastertide festivity, the remarkable prosperity that has attained to this production from the night of its open- r os fi'"'inr-'p will be maintained. Never hns so much (In the way of

quantity) been offered for the monev. The impression produced by "Mother Goose" is that of a beautiful dream that never stops for a moment. Mov- ing pictures are as nothing to this delightful phantasmagoria. It is a sui- cesslon of startling changes, each one being more beautiful than that proceeding it.

A special holiday matinee will be Riven on Patriots" day (April 19>.

What do you think of a short-measure paint? Don't you think if half whitewash.' Half the paints are part whitewash.

Go by the name: Devoe lead and-zinc. No whiting or clay in that: full-measure besides. A gallon Devoe is worth two of whitewash paint.

Yours truly, 14 F. W. DKY'OE* CO-

HYOMEI A RECORD BREAKER Novel Method of Curing: Catarrh. Sold

on Approval by E. M. & W- A Allen.

The popularity and remarkable sales of Hyomei have broken all records. In nearly every city and town in the country, tbis guaranteed cure for catarrh has given most astonishing results.

The leading druggists are so entbufti- astir over the remarkable percentage of j cures following the u*e of Hyomei. that | with hardly an exception, they advertise to their customers that Hyomei will be sold with the understanding that it

' costs nothing unless it cures. In Andover, K. M. A W. A. Allen are

I endorsing it and guaranteeing to refund | thfr money unless Hyomei cures catarrh. | They have sold a great many Hyomei j outfits, and today, no other treatment I for the cure of catarrh lias as many I friends in Andover and vicinity an i Hyomei.

It is a scientific, yet common sense method of treating and curing this too common disease. It sends by direct in- halation to every cell of the air passages in the head, throat and lungs, a bal- samic air that destroys all catarrhal germs, purifies the blood with additional ozone, and makes a complete and lasting cure of any catarrhal trouble.

The complete outfit costs but $1, and includes an inhaler, medicine dropper and sufficient Hyomei for several weeks' treatment.

You take no risk in buying Hyomei. E. M. 4 W. A. Allen, positively guarantee to refund your money unless It cures.

II anyone who had heard of the Guild ami wondered what it stood Tor in the lite "f Andover, could have been present at the regnlar meeting of the boanl of directors Tuesday, April ft, he would have listened to a record of service during the past season which would have convinced him that here was an agency which was doing much and wisely for the town. Most of the department* of the Guild nave closed their work for the autumn and winter, and reports of these were presented to the directors.

The kitchen garden aims to teach housework — making beds and tires, sweeping, dusting, and all that care of a house which the untnstructed person supposes comes by nature, but which does not. .Miss Blood has been teaching this, with toy beds and brooms and household articlea. to 2ft girls, while 20 more had to be turned away from the class for lack of accommodation*; though some of then) came to the lessons and stood and enviously looked on. Mothers have pointed out to one another their surprise that their daughters were becoming deft at home through the In- structions received at the kitchen garden. The term's work here closed with a linle exhibition, at which 30 mothers and ice cream and cake were present.

The sewing school closed its session for the season on April 2. System in- vades everything in these days, and sewing is now taught systematically in a three years' course. The simpler stitches prepaie for the more complex; and a hook of clotU leaves, containing the pupil's work for the year and finally for the whole course, is sent to be judged by an expert. The results of this examination brought prizes to three pupils—a work-basket, a silver thimble, and a silver pin. But what seemed to be more prized was the diploma given to every pupil who completed satisfactorily the course. A fourth year, of what might be called post-graduate study in sewing, has been added to the course; and a connection has been established with Sim- mons college in Boston. The head of the sewing department of the college is now giving lessons here in drafting and cutting for dress-making, and the class she teaches is full, and full of enthusiasm. Two other classes for the making of articles of various kinds are going on under the general direction of the sewing school

The Girls' club hat been very unfor- tunate this year in losing several of its leaders, and the result has appeared in diminished attendance in those depart- ments. Two sections, which in former years have cared for nothing but amusement, have this year been asking for books and lectures, and have taken to writing compositions for prises. The Guild greatly needs assistants—men and women—who will become leaders of groups of boys and girls. Several times during the year groups of boys have come asking to be taken in charge, and girls have been dropping away from the club to the streets, and the Guild could do nothing about the matter in either case, because there were no leaders to take up the work. Are there not young men and women in our community who are willing to give something of themselves to this much needed, largely re* inuneratiw missionary work1.' The Gills' club this year will remain open till June. and will enjoy the use of the new sewing machine just bought for the club and "the sewing school. Volunteers who are willing to work in the Guild next year are asked to communicate with Miss Mary II. -Mi I Is-or Corwin F. Palmer, superintendent of schools.

The Boys' club has had an average attendance of VI, 'which is about its usual membership. Two classes each evening alternate between sloyd-work and gymnastics; Mr. Eastwood of Hox- bury taking charge of the fotmer, and Mr. Thompson of 1'hillip.s Academy of the latter. A class of 26, both boys and girls, from nine to twelve years old, was instructed by Miss Clara Putnam in natural history ami the observation of domestic animals, and then after much enthusiasm, passed a competitive examination for prizes offered by Prof. I.. II. Williams, jr. These consisted of a mi- croscope and a Thompson-Seton book lor the first prize, and a couple of Dr. Long's books for the second and third prizes.

The directors instructed their Boys' committee to begin planning for next year's work ; and also heard their report that it was doubtful whether the School committee would allow the use of any of the school buildings for a vacation school this summer, on account of the changes to be made in the buildings. The president was authorized to join in a petition for a concrete walk on Brook street, from < eutral to Essex street; and a committee was appointed to confer with the Village Improvement Society to consider the expediency of applying to the railroad commissioners to forbid whistling bv locomotives within the limits of And- over. All persons interested in this application are asked to communicate with the chairman of the committee, Kev. Frederic Palmer.

ALL GOOD THINGS must win upon their merits. The International Dictionary has won a greater distinction upon its merits and is in more general use than any other work of its kind in the English language.

A. H. Sayce, I.I. IK. I».l>., of Oxford I nlvaralt) . England, has recently said of it: It is indeed a marvelous work; it is difficult to conceive of a dictionary more exhaustive and complete. Everything is in it —not only what we might expect to find in such a work, but also what few of us would ever have thought of looking for.

A supplement to the new edition has brought It fully up to date. I have been looking through the latter with a feeling of astonishment at Its completeness, and the amount of labor that has been pur into It.

Industry and art, modern and an- ' cient, of every conceivable form will he presented. And the glorious "Old Pike." why the midway at Chicago's World's Fair was but a sidft-show in comparison. The St. Louis Exposition may be termed a marvel, for its exhibits are scarcely a imagined. -A very accurate Idea of the exposition, however, can be gleaned from the beautiful booklet of 40 paces which contain* Illustrations and an elegant map of the grounds, and which will he mailed free by the General Passenger Depart- ment.'Boston and Maine Railroad, Bos- ton, to any person upon receipt of address.

Alumni 7; Punchanl a

The I'uncbard High School baseball team played its first home game on Tues- day morning when they had for their opponents the alumni of the school. This was the annual contest and there was much interest in the game, both teams having supporters to back up their work.

The game was much evener and harder fought than the score would indicate as the game at the end of the ninth inning was 2 to, 2. The next, however, decided the contest for the alumni, as with a series of hits they were able to bring the runs up to 7.

Moynihan pitched a strong game up to this inning, only two hits having been made from bis delivery and he was tup- ported in faultless style.

Stewart's home run in the first inning was the only feature of importance in the game, Mahoney pitched well and was finely supported by Abbott for the alumni.

ONE MILLION DOLLARS FOR A GOOD STOMACH

Mr. Rockefeller'. Offer Should Be .

WarnuMj To Every Man and Woeuui.

The newspapers and medical journals recenUy hare had much to say relative to John D. Rockefeller's offer of a million dollars for a new stomach.

This great multi-millionaire was too busy to worry abont the condition of his stomach He allowed his dyspepsia to run from bad to worse until in the end it became incurable.

His misfortune serves as a warninir to others.

Everyone who suffers with dyspepsia for a few years will give everything he owns for a new stomach.

There are twenty million men and women suffering with dyspepsia—twenty million men and women whose stomachs are wearing out.

There are no new stomachs for sale at any price.

We offer these sufferers the neit best thing. We guarantee to make their old stomachs almost as good as new.

Dyspepsia is caused by an abnormal state of the gastric juices. There is one element missing. The absence of this destroys the function of the gastric fluids. They lose their power to digest food.

We are now able to supply the missing element—to restore to the gastric juices their digestive power, and to make the stomach strong and well.

We know that Rexall Dyspepsia Tablet, will positively and permanently cure We want you to try them and will return your money if you are not more than satisfied with the result.

be declares he can and will win. He says be begged that promises to the public who subscribed for Amalgamated copper should b e kept, but In vain. He demands that they receive $100 per share on their investment. In ex- plaining to a report

Mr. Clark's secretary explains that this move is in line with the senator's policy of incor- porating all real estate interests as a matter of convenience in their handling.

Are Prices Declining? In view of the widespread clamor

Negro Assails Negro Race. It Is certainly an unusual thing for a

negro preacher to tell a congregation of negroes at the capital of this nation that the negro race deserves the scourging it is now getting in this country. But precisely this happened In tbe Second Baptist church of Washington last week. The Rev. W. Bishop Johnson drove home his thesis by pointing out "a notable loss of manhood" among those of bis race, by charging that many were not chlvalric toward women and by saying that there was a disposition to scorn manual labor. "The dlsfranchisement of the negro," he concluded, "by which he Is reduced to a political nonentity. Is one scourge with which God Is whipping the negro Into acquiring property and education."

The Lost Russian Battleship Petropavlovsk

A long stride toward solving the mystery of curing catarrh was taken with tbe discovery of Hyomei. In fact the percentage of cures by this treatment proves it equal to the final teats. £The folly of taking medicine into tbe stomach to cure catarrh of the nose, throat and lungs, has been realized by physicians, but not unttl Hyomei was known, had they s practical method that would obviate stomach drugging.

A complete Hyomei outfit coats but $1, and consists of a neat pocket inhaler that can be used anywhere without attracting attention, a medicine dropper aifd a bottle of IlyoiueU-,

Breathing Hyomei through the inhaler, every particle of air that enters the nose, thsoat and lungs, is charged < with a healing balsam that soothes and allays ainrritations, kills .the catarrhal germs and enriches' the blood with additional ozone. -

K.. M. A. W. A. Allen have so much faith in the power of Hyomei to cure catarrh, that they are selling it under their personal guarantee to refund the monev if it doea not give positive relief.

number of typhoid cases In Philadel- phia last week, nearly 400 new cases being reported and thirty resulting In death. All past records have now been broken, and the health authorities are taking radical steps to prevent a gen- j era I epidemic. t

Accidents. Thirty-two men and officers of the

battleship Missouri were killed and I five injured by the explosion of five charge*, of smokeless powder In her after twelve inch gun during target practice off Pensacola, Fla., April 13. Only by prompt flooding of tbe maga- i sines by order of Captain Cowles and ' by the bravery of Gunner's Mate Mon- son, who jumped Into the magazine and closed tbe door after blm at risk of bis life, was tbe ship saved from total destruction. Officers aald tbe explosion was caused by a "blow back." This means that the wind from offshore blew a portion of the flame from the morale back into the breech, where j a new charge was lieing Inserted. Tbe force and heat of tbe explosion rendered the bodies of the victims entire- ! ly nude. The officers killed were Lieu tenant W. C. DavMson. Lieutenant B. A. Weichert, Lieutenant J. V. F. Grid ley.

That was n very live subject willed was under discussion at the r tee church last Monday evening, and one which has been commented UIKIII in this column many times. Hut we are far from an agreement with those speakers who attempted to maintain the ground that the churches: can learn nothing from the lodges. The great institutional churches which are making the thief successes in church work today have learned a great deal from tile socittl organizations, and their successes are largely due to the application of many of the lodge activities and lodg* methods to their church work. The small church can take oil only a part of the features that the church with large resources sustains, hut that it must do that part becomes clearer every day. While thirty-five earnest men were dis- cussing this important question last Monday night at a church function, we venture to say that five times that number, in Andover -alone, were gathered in lodge rooms enjoying the attractions, and in some cases the uplifting influences of lodge membership. There is foot] for thought in this condition of things.

The taking on of the complete con. trol of tiie three large stores, winch-have been so successfully conducted by the Currier - Campion Company, by the junior member of that company is a marked compliment to the business ability and genius of that gentleman. Coming to Andover as the manager of what was twenty years ago the •■little corner grocery", Mr. Campion lias made his place secure as not only a respected and successful business man of Andover. but through his other con- nections in Lawrence, as one of the leading business men of this section. He certainly has the generous go<Ki wishes of many friends for continued success.

The long account in another column of doings at tiie <;. A. K. hall includes an interesting statement of what the Woman's Kelief C'orfw is doing in auxiliary work for this organization. To know a little more, and think a little more, about the old veterans and their associates and assistants at this time of year is most appropriate. Their great day in meuioriain is near at hand, and tiie memories revived by that day cannot lie too clearly impressed uism the easy-forgetting busy citizen of the present day.

The adjourned Athletic Association meeting will be held in the lower town hall tomorrow, Saturday, night. The tiegiiming of this organization is most auspicious, but its largest possible success can be secured only through hearty cooperation and cordial confidence lietween all the interested isirties.

Maple syrup, fresh from the Vermont hills, brings to the Townsman office tbe friendly greetings of our esteemed ' ami long înie Andover resident. Mr. ' Fred M. Hill. We cannot share the luscious syrup with all of the sender's ' old friends, but we can gladly rass along his greetings, assuring them that they bear the genuine Vermont flavor.

meei giegalioual Club was held in the Free church vestry Monday evening, at which about 86 members and friends were present. From half past six till seven was spent in sociability, after which the company sal down to an excellent supper furnished by Caterer Rhodes. Kev. A. 11. Fuller asked the blessing and after supper prayer was offered by Dr. s. F. lluestis of Halifax, N. s.

The business of the meeting followed and President William Shaw of Ballard- va!e announced the following nominating committee for officers; K II. Tewks- bury, Rev. Herbert U. Malik, Lawrence Kev. F. K. shipman and John W. Bell, A ndover.

The president announced that the next meeting would be held in Trinity church, Lawrence, the first Monday evening iu June, the date being chauged in order that it might not conflict with commencements. He aaid that it was intended to make this a rally meeting and hoped that every member would he present and would at least bring one new member with him.

In honor of Patriots'Day, '•America'' naa sung, which was followed by the discussion of the topic of the evening, •The Modern Church and the Modern World." The first query, "Are changed methods desirable" was discussed by Kev. F. A.-Wilson and Dea. ti. W. Dins- moor of Lawrence. Mr. Wilson spoke of the great changes which had come over the world in the past few years and while he believed that there might be changed methods in some ways, he impressed on his hearers that however much the world may have changed the aim of the church was unchangeable. Changes might be made but they must not be too radical.

Facility of travel, lodges, clubs, newspapers, magazines, had seemed to draw away from the church and have helped lo make the modern world different. It was a busy, practical, social and intelligent world—intelligent in that the average man does more reading than formerly and whereas he formerly looked to the minister lor enlightenment on many subjects, he is now better informed than many pastors on a variety of'subjects. Vet with all this it ia a world of weakened conscience and one has only to read in the newspapers of the disclosures of iniquity to realize that the sense of right and wrong is less keen than formerly in political and business affairs.

There is a need of more reverence in worship. The children should be trained in Christian doctrine ami the Christian church. Education rather than exhortation should be the aim of the pulpit. There should be a personal responsibility for every member to do something and an increased fellowship would result. Mr. Wilson strongly urged an attention to the business side of the church as careful and as thoughtful as that given by the directors of a bank or a large corporation. When that was done there would be little fear of. the church finances,

Dea. (ieorge W. Diusmpor followed and he severely censured the modern church for the manner In which it dese- crated the house of (1<M1 with fairs, turkey suppers, plays, • sociables and the like. He believed that the end did not justify the means. He strongly condemned the lack of reverence for the church.

The second query, "What features of the Lodge and Fraternal Benefit orders may be adopted." The speakers were Kev. F. II. Page of Trinity church and \ Ilaa. 11. W. Carney of North Andover. Mr. Page was the first speaker. He believed that just such gatherings as the one to-night, were good for men. What was needed in our churches was an effort to preserve the spirit and power of men. Women's clubs had to a certain extent influenced woman and drawn her away from church to a certain extent but there was no fear for them, li was the men he thought who needed the most attention. In his church they had a modified fraternal organization, the members of which met once a week for eight months. They were bound by friendly benefit. There was no medical examination and no age limit. There was a death benefit of $50 and a sick beuetit of *5 per week for four weeks. There is a membership of do and men who formerly came to church perhaps once a year meet at this lodge- and enjoy the friendship of one another. It is this feature of fellowship and friendship so conspicuous in fraternal organizations which should be in, for and under the church. It is worth while to borrow tiiis.spn-it from these organizations.

Deacon Carney did not think it was necessary to go to lodges for features since the whole of their ritual was founded on the Bible. He believed in teaching Christ. The spirit of fellowship was perhaps the only thing to copy.

In the general discussion that followed. Rev. Ueo. E. I«vejoy, Rev. 11. <;. Mank and Dr. Mueslis of Halifax spoke. The latter said that the same question was vexing them in Canada. They endeavored to make the Sunday evening service the most attractive of the day. I-odge* and clubs were good enough in their way but they never could be substituted for the gospel of Jesus Christ, than which there was nothing more attractive.

The meeting adjourned at 9.30.

Boy.

Many ><>ung sons of Andover have in j the past been successful in securing | positions in the army and navy. All the residents of the town will share in the ' pride and pleasure that the Townsman j teels in announcing that J. Lyraan ! Belknap, M. I)., sun of Lyman A. | Belknap, has, after an examination last- i log eight days, before tiie V. S. Naval Examining Board, at Washington, I). C, ' been found qualified to perform the I duties of a surgeon in the Xavy of the ! United States.

This examination is undoubtedly the ! most severe and exhaustive of all govern- men! examinations. Most commissions are issued, backed by political influence. This branch of the service is absolutely j free from all politics, the government in the selection of its medical officers recog- j nizing no other standard, except tiie j highest professional ability.

Dr. Belknap's honorable record is not , only most creditable to himself, bat | complimentary to the schools in which he has been educated. He was graduated from Phillips Academy, Andover, !

in 1S.I4, and Dartmouth College in IS.IS. I He served as hospital steward of t he 1st New Hampshire regiment and 3rd gov- I ernment hospital. Spanish war, aud was graduated from Harvard Medical College with M. D., >■„„, taude, in 1902, He was | examined by State Board of Medical Examiners of the State of Masaachu- !

MARY ELLEN ANDKR40N.

After the colors had been placed in position, Mrs. Moore sang "Our Flag is There," with much enthusiasm and feeling.

Another surprise was experienced when Miss Sadie M. Hobbs was presented with a beautiful past president's gold badge by sisters of the corps.

The remainder of the evening was spent In a social way and7a)I declared that it was the best observance that had ever been held.

The following extract! will explain to many the work and object of the Woman's Belief Corps.

"The Woman's Belief Auxiliary to the Grand Army of the Republic, is the largest beneticient and patriotic organization of women in the world, number- ing now almost one hundred and fifty thousand members, Organized in lB«a, following a call by Conimauder-in-Cl.ief I'aul Vau Dei Voort, with a small band of charter members, it has grown to magnificent proportions, in numbers and influence, and in the streams of bounty which have been poured out through the treasury in many deserving channels. The strongest and best women of the nation have been proud to have their names upon its rolls. All loyal women are eligible to membership in the Women's Belief Corps. Its aims and objects as found in Kules. and Regula- tions are as follows:

"To specially aid and assist the Grand Army Of the Republic, and to perpetuate the memory of their heroic dead.

"To cherish and emulate the deeds of our Army Ni-rses, and of ail loyal women who rendered loving service to our country in her hour of peril.

"To maintain true allegiance to the United Slates of America; to inculcate lessons of patriotism and love of country among our children and in the com muniiiesin which we live; and encourage the spread of universal liberty and equal rights to all.

"This organization was the first to introduce the salute to tne flag in the public schools and to make the observance of Flag Day general, by preparing ana carrying out suitable programs.

"The Woman's Relief Corps is a national incorporation and owns and op- erates the National Relief Corps Home, Madison, O. It is in posseseion of the Anderaouville prison grounds, which It has converted into a National Park. Through its influence several states have placed monuments there and every year, especially upon Memorial Day, it is visited by many.

"In the organization there are *i,90«

Corp*. "The total expenditure last year in the

order amounted to f-30.687.3R and there are no liabilities.

"Since the organization of the W. R. C. there has been expended fz\.r>04,3o5.23.

"To every loyai woman there is a hearty invitation given to join this band of earnest workers."

public services In the Seminary chapel there was a large gathering including many prominent clergymen rrom all over New England. Services were conducted by Professor E. Y. Hlnks of the Seminary. He was assisted by President Charles O. Day of the Sem- inary and Professor Platner. Profes- sor Hlnks offered prayer and Presi- dent Day read passages of Scrip- ture.

A feature of the service was th? reading by Professor Platner of a testimonial which it had been planned to present at the coming anniversary. June 9. to Professor Smyth.

The Testimonial.

Following Is a copy of the testimonial which was read by Prof. Platner at the Smyth obsequies, it being planned to surprise him next June with the presentation of a loving cup and the testimonial of former students upon the completion of 40 years at the seminary-

"We. who have been your pupils and whose names nn avail ourselves of this opportunity and greet you from our hearts.

"The completion of forty years- tt* continuous service In useful work »* a matter of much significance for.any man; and when that work "Weans the handltng of great truths for the instruction and inspiration of those whose hope it is to minister to other lives in an ever widening circle of helpfulness and Influence, the service so long continued confers a distinction which fulls to the. lot of few,. Today that distinction is yours; we offer you our congratulations; we wish to express our appreciation both of what you have done and of what you are.

"In these four decades, since ytfu entered upon your office as professor in Andover seminary, theological thought and church methods have' undergone important changes; this renowned school Itself, of sound learning, lofty ideals, and splendid traditions, has passed through ,a period of storm and stress. In the midst of which you stood. forth "as a commanding figure; but at no time has your faith waxed feeble or your fervor grown cold; you have held with a Arm grasp to the great historic truths of Christianity and been ready to welcome any further liirht that might break from the Word of God. you have .always found strength and comfort In the trutn, though it were old, and you have found the same in the new if only you believed It true, thus in your own thought uniting, wltn a gracious hospitality, modern scholarship and the old faiths: in this mind you have been at* able and distinguished leader In the battle of freedom and progress and truth, which Is forever going on; through all changes and under trying circumstances you have maintained your sweetness of spirit and serenity of faith, knowing that nothing is An- ally victorious but truth, and that the victory of truth Is love. I

"Truth, therefore, in your hands has

pression that is born of humility; Jus- tice and kindliness; In nil things sincerity; these are the elements of power discernible through your work. The high spiritual plane on which your thought and feeling move Is seen and recognized of all men; your life has stood for simplicity, sincerity and love; we only give utterance to a thought which arises in many minds when we say that there are those who And 111 you their best living representative of an Apostolic man. And so you have exemplified the true teacher of mer. In that you have taught and helped them not only by the written nnd spoken word, but by your character and the example of your life; you have exalted the teacher's chair Into a throne of power.

"We who have sat at your feet and know you in a more Intimate way than is possible for the world at large, feel a sense of personnl gratitude for the influence you have had upon our own lives. That Influence has been In ttfce direction, especially, of strengthening our hold on the things that abide— faith, hope and love. Your kindly interest In the welfare ana success of younger men has been conspicuous and constant; they have learned to regard you. not only as a teacher, but as a counselor and friend. ,

"At this time when the memories of the past return, we cannot be oblivious of the sore bereavement which you have sustained in the loss of her who stood so close beside you, sharing your work and life during all these happy years. She was a gracious presence in this community and a light in your home. We grieve with your sorrow as we rejoice with your Joy.

"And now it is our prayer that the strength may be given you to go on with your work for truth and human- ity, conscious still of the life that is hid with Christ in Ood, and caring still, more than for the applause of men. for the approval of the one Mas- ter In heaven.

"We beg you tc receive these greetings as a true though inadequate expression of what we think and feel."

A full I orchestra with rather out-of-date in- ! striitnenls, executed a difficult piece of | music under the leadership of Mr. , Wilson who made a most satisfactory I leader. His knack of helping the mu- l eicians over difficult passages was to be \ admired as very few lirat class leaders ; prove satisfactory in tight places.

ARRANGEMENT OF HAIR.

A likeness in a photograph is in many j impaired by the hair cresser. Any

unusual effect In coiffure makes an un- natural photograph, so it is beat to arrange the general effect of the hair as J your friends most often see it. Never wet the hair or sllow it to be pressed smooth in a plastered effect.

Damp hair presents a shiny surface. , which reflects the light and photographs white.

THE ISE OF "MAKE UP."

Never powder the (see. neck or arms unless at the photographer's request.

The powdering results in false lights and is a great detriment to artistic results. If it is necessary to use powder on the hair or face it should be done by the operator, who understands the effect produced.—Shernum Studio.

Merger Distribution Contest.

The ftbsorpuon of tbe Northern Pa- cific in a railroad system more vast than the Northern Securities company itself was involved In the petition of E. H. Harriman and W. 8. Tierce against tbe pro rata plan of distribut- ing the stocks of the merger announced by President Hill after tbe supreme court decided against Its legal existence. This was brought out by ex-Sec-

retary Root, as counsel for Hill, when the Harri- man petition came before the I'ntted States circuit court at St. Paul last week. If Harrl- riino's original holdings were to be returned he would control Union Pa- cific—that is, if you add the

Kllhu Root. Northern Pacif- ic to the Union and Southern Pacific systems, controlled by Harrinian, the total territory and mileage would be greater than that now hold by the merger. The counsel for tbe petitioners were able to show by the actual testimony of Mr. Hill and Mr. Morgan In the former suit that the Northern Securities company had no legal title to the stock of the component companies, but was merely a trustee; hence it seemed to follow that those who formed tbe merger would on Its dissolution be entitled to the actual shares which they had put in trust.

The sensation of the hearing, however, was tbe appearance of Attorney General Knox's hand in a formal ob- jection to tbe Intervening petition. He maintained that the court of appeals was only concerned to see that the decree of the supreme court was faithfully observed.

Another Blow at Merger.

The United* States supreme court rendered Its decision April 11 in the case of Minnesota against the North- ern Securities company involving the validity of the latter. Tbe decision was unanimous in reversing the circuit court and thus sending the case back to the state supreme courts. Practical-" ly tbe mime points were involved as In the federal suit against the merger. The effect of this might l>e said to be favorable to the merger, as It cannot he compelled"to appear In the Minnesota court, being a New Jersey corporation.

object of the Republicans is said to lie to show the country that they are not afraid to expose the workings of the department and to escape the charge of running away from the Dem- ocratic challenge.

Philippines Bill Forced.

The house committee on rules brought In a resolution April 13 for the immediate consideration- of tbe Philip- pines bond bill enabling tbe Insular government to Issue bonds for borne Improvements and railroad building. The rule prevented tbe consideration of amendments and compelled tbe limi- tation of debate so that the vote could be taken on Thursday. Then by a party vote it was passed.

That British public opinion still up holds tbe Youughusband mission Into Tibet was shown In the house of commons when War Secretary Brodrick moved that the employment of Indian troops be aanctloned to protect the mis sion. This was passed by 270 to 01 votes. Mr. Brodrick announced that Colonel Younghusband bad reached GyanftM April 11 without the loss of a man. This is only about 140 miles from Lasaa.

Tbe terms of this instrument have already been recorded in these columns, the main points being in relation to Egypt and Morocco, which get the open door to foreign trade; in relation to New- foundland, and West Africa and in relation to Slam, Hebrides and Madagas- car.

Tbe state Democratic convention at Trenton, N.

Sir Oliver Lodge.

Would Revise Christianity.

Sir Oliver Lodge, the famous scien- tist, in the current number of the Hlb- bert Journal declares it to be general-

ly recognized among intelligent Christians of today that "the sufferings and violent death of Christ were the natural consequences of his blrth^ so far in advance of his age," and although tbe pity and , horror of the event have a "purifying, sacramental influ-

ence** yet there Is nothing of 4Re nature of punishment to be detected in It ■ No ode believes that It appeased an angry God who, on that account, would more likely treat the sins of men other than they always bad been treated by ^'a constant and steadfast persevering universe." In fact. Sir Oliver regards the doctrine of the atonement In its concrete form as a survival of barbarous times, but believes that we are nraring a higher stage wherein man realizes that he is a part of nature and so a part of God, and that all men are moving toward some great end. He insists that we are no aliens in a strange universe governed by an outside God, and that science will some day tell us how this sense of union with divinity is "the Inner meaning of tbe redemption of man."

London press dispatches tell of a ter- rific storm aroused among churchmen by tbe recent words of Canon Henson of Westminster about the future of the Bible. He did not hesitate to char- acterize the Indiscriminate reading of the Bible In public as "an extremely perilous proceeding." He explained that while educated men had some means of escape from the perplexities created by "the incredible, the puerile or demoralizing narratives'* of the Old Testament tbe untutored minds read- ily recoiled from the idea of a sacred volume until ft became a "pack of lies too gross for toleration."

Another Staggering Blow For Russia Tears and mourning at 3t. Petersburg! Shouts of Joy at Tokyo!

Hundreds of Russian sailors and officers with the brave fleet commander. Admiral Makaroff, at tbe bottom of the Yellow sea in the costly armor clad coffins of their own great ships of war! Such Is the moving spectacle now presented In the terribly real war drama being enacted In tbe orient.

The 13th of April was the fatal day when Makaroff ventured boldly from Port Arthur to offer battle to a portion of the Japanese fleet in

the offlng. But suddenly his opponent, Togo, was mightily re-enforced with many ships. On bis flagship, the Petropavlovsk, Makaroff was re- treatlug cautiously toward his base when suddenly some explosion of mine or torpedo caused his ship to turn turtle and sink, only four of the crew of 7i)0 being saved with Captain Yakrovleo and Prince Cyril, the latter wounded. Almost at the same time the battleship Pobieda was seriously damaged by a blow from a torpedo amidships, but was able to reach port. Later came word that the destroyer Bezstrasbnl had been surrounded by the Japanese and sunk with all except five of her defenders saved.

Admiral Bkrydloff. 0v>?r flnd flbove tne actual loss of ships and men in this action Russia suffers still more from lowered prestige. This must Increase the danger of a popular Chinese outbreak in aid of Japan. It will dishearten the defenders of Port Arthur, which now awaits the final onslHUght of the Japs by sea and land.

The main Japanese army on the Yalu has strengthened its position and had several brushes with Russian outposts. One report was to tbe effect thst the Russians repulsed 12,000 Japs after they had landed west of tbe Ysln.

Vice Admiral Skrydloff, in command of the Black sea fleet, and + known as tbe "Bulldog of the Navy," has been chosen to succeed Maka- X roff In charge of the naval remnants In tbe far east

YOUR HUSBAND WORKS TOO

Nearly every wife feels that her husband works too hard, and worries because he will not take the rest she knows he needs. She seel how tired and exhausted he is at night and how his sleep fails to rest him. She knows that his business is killing him—but she also knows that he will stick to his work just as long as he is able to stand.

If he could only Uke a vacation, if she could only get him away from business for a few weeks—but that is out of the question.

It is in cases of this kind that Rexall Mucu-Tone proves its rare value.

We could do a great work if we could only convince every woman who reads this newspaper that Rexall Mucu-Tone will do her tired-out husband <u much goad at a vacation — that it will brace him up physically and mentally, replenish his waning vitality and make him strong and well. WHAT CATARRH REALLY MEANS.

Mucu-Tone is primarily a ealmrrh curt, but the term catarrh is vary broad. It signifies a congestion of the mucous membranes due to the inability of the body, through close confinement and lack of outdoor exercise, to throw off the poisons that gather in the system, a condition that affects the entire organism of the sufferer, causing him to feel run down, worn out, weak, nervous and despondent.

Mucu-Tone not only corrrcfi tkae conditions, driving out the poisons and restoring health, but it is a powerAil ionic and syitem- bnUder as well. It brings new

energy, cheerfulness, hopefulness,, after the first few doses, and its continued use for a few weeks works permanent benefits in the nerves,, muscles and sinews of the entire body. s .

Just persuade your husband to try Mucu-Tone, and note the wonderful change within a few days. It is your duty, and when he experiences the new life and strength it brings him, he will thank you from the bottom of his heart.

Fishing diAvn in Maine means much more than a Journey to u lake or river and tasting a tine. It means a trip through a section of wild fores! lands, where the pines and heml< cks send forth a fresh aroma which Invigorates und rejuvenates; the solitude which settles all about, broken only by the music of the birds and the sighing of the pine boughs will banish far the bustling memory of the tumultuous city. And sport! well, it doesn't tak» ling to learn how to catch 'em, and whipping a trout stream or paddling a canoe, you'll -.xperience the true Joys of the angler'i paradise. To tell all about Maine's lakes and rivers anil ;rMr varieties of Ash w^ uld require a deal of time and space, but such popular resorts as Moosehe id, Itangeley 1-iikew.

On last Kriday evening '"The Alche- mist," a comedy by Hen Jouaon was given in the Town hall by .members of I ■hr Harvard Chapter of the lirother- liood of Delia I'peiion. A play is giveu annually by this society, but they have never appeared on the staê in Andover before.

The show was well attended, there ! being about 4UO present and it was enjoy ed apparently by all present from the hearty applause which each participant received.

The scene of the play was in Iôndon in and about one l^>vewit's house which is 4>ccupied by an alchemist. This

: alchemist is renowned the country [ over as one who can transform poorer

metals into silver or noM. With an assistant. Dapper, a lawyer's clerk, lie tinds many people who are anxious to enlarge

: their fortunes And so bring various articles to be turned into the precious

j metals. Sir Kpicure Mammon is very | loud in his praise for the alchemist and I brings all of his household articles for

his work- Ananias, a servant of the i exiled brethren is very doubtful of the I transformer's occupation but is willing to : have him make coin which is to be used

by the brethren. Aj»el Drugger, a dealer in tobacco who

| Is building a new uhop, wishes to kuow by art which way Lo make his doom and shelves, lie is a very funny character

j and greatly amused the audience with his witty sayings and actions. Dol, the alchemist's wife assists in the work and on the appearance of Sir Kpicure Mam

I moil he immediately falls in love with | her. The love is not resented bnt

Mammon is cautioned against talking to her in Hebrew. They retire to another part of the house but soon return Dol having gone into a tit because Mammon

I bad forgotten his instructions and spoken in the forbidden tongue. Kastril an angry boy with his sister visits the

| InuiM- and are soon followed by a Spanish knight whose friendship kindles into love and a match is made.

This Don, however, turns out to be a spy and in consequence the alchemist and his assistants are compelled to tiee, but not until the articles which were of any value were placed in chests and the remainder destroyed.

The play was very well enacted each participant taking his part with the skill of a professional.

HYOMEI A RECORD BREAKER Novel Method of Curing Catarrh. Sold

on Approval by E. M & W. A Allen.

The popularity and remarkable sales of Hyoniei have broken all records. In nearly every city and town in the country, this guaranteed cure for catarrh hat given most astonishing results.

The leading druggists are so enthusiastic over the remarkable percentage of cures following the use of llyomei, that with hardly an exception, they advertise to their customers that llyomei will

' be sold with the understanding that it costs nothing unless it cures.

In Andover, E. M. A- »V. A. Allen are endorsing it and guaranteeing to refund the money unless llyomei cures catarrh. They have sold a great many llyomei outfits, and today,> no other treatment for the cure »d catarrh ban as many friends in Andover and vicinity as Hyomei.

It is a scientitic, yet common sense method of treating and curing this too common disease. It sends by direct in- halation to every cell of the air passages in the head, throat and lungs, a bal- samic air that destroys all catarrhal germs, purities the blood with additional ozone, and makes a complete and lasting cure of any catarrhal trouble.

The complete outfit costs but *l,and includes an inhaler, medicine dropper and sufficient Hyomei for several weeks' treatment.

Yon take no risk in buying Hyomei. K. M A W. A. Allen, positively guarantee to refund your money unless it cures.

Rev. T. S. Robjent spoke on the sul»- >.:. "Why Do Christiana Differ?" at the Unitarian church Sunday.

Mr. Robjent -said: 'The fierce religious conflict that

has marred the centuries is fortunai?ly at an end. By common consent a widespread, truce seems to have been df- 11.iied. The early believers in the sln-

II i c.-iity of their faith could not per- p| sue.de thentselves that those who dif- I j fered from them in opinion could be 1 j sincere. Those who taught other doc-

trines were i. their eyes irrjposlors. The disciples of Jesus wanted to call down fire from heaven on the Samar- itans who rejected the Master. They did not belong to their party and therefore must be of the devil. This Is indi- cative of the general tempers of the early believers. The first Christians regarded all faiths save their own as inspiration of the evil one and therefore to be resisted to the death.

'Even as late as the middle of Hit last century, we find one of the foremost champions of Orthodoxy, declar- ing that heresy Is worse than murder, theft or adultery. Hence the ugiy words that have been- applied to so- called heretics. All this is past; we have entered upon a new era of Cath- olkity. and charity has taken the pla.ee of anathema and persecution. And vet we are not entirely free from a certain critical attitude, that sometimes takes the form of private criticism and sometimes open attacks, such as wa* inaugurated a week ago by a well known Boston minister who has entered upon a crusade against modern unbelief and especialy the unbelief, as he calls it, of I'nitnrlanfsm.

"The reasons for this critical spirit are many. One reason, clearly, Is an undue emphasis upon doctrine. We are accused as liberal thinkers, of laying stress upon conduct rather than dos- rna. We do not deny it, for we remember how Matthew Arnold says: "That conduct Is three-fourths of life.' Some years ago when in Brooklyn, Dr. Dixon started a similar agitation against our liberal faith, and in the* course of the crusade a statement was made by a foremose Orthodox minister, that all Unitarians were sinners and all sinners \vereBUnitarlans. I ventured then to remind the minister In question that In a sermon of his found in a volume. I have in my own library, there is an eloquent passage on good- ness and as the highest types of that rirtue he gives* their names, two of which were "Unitarians, and on the brow of these, he decjares, God will place bye and bye, his richest crown Strange admission from the lips of one who professes to regard heresy

as sin, "Another reason for criticism is

clearly iRnorance, or at best misun- derstanding, concerning the thing criticised. Such criticism is generally shallow anyway. It is so easy to speak sarcastically of that, the power of

1 which we have never felt, for a man is very apt to think lightly of a thing that he merely picks up.

"Dr. Dixon's faith is probably ! something that has never coat htm a

moment's struggle of mind. He was born Into it and hns never dreamt of doubting it. He is a 'simple believ- er* by his very makeup and is therefore illfltted to criticise those who have won their faith through deep und earnest struggle of soul.

"It is very easy but strangely su- perficial. We are reminded again that 1 "nitarinnism is one of the smallest denominations in the land and that liberal religion does not attract the masses. The criticism comes with ill grace from the representative of a body that by no mean? heads the list of Christian churches numerically and from one whose chief claim to noto- riety seems to be his^power to sensa- tionalism. If the criticism be well made, that numbers are the infallible proof of truth, then Christianity must soon go the way that Dr. Dixon proph- esied, liberal religion is going—extinc- tion, for it is still one of the smallest of the world's religions. But when we remembtr that truth, more than once In history has meant the one

] against the many, and that one not merely criticized but crucified. We deny that liberal religion Is not cal-

j rotated to reach the hearts of men. It ! has done In the past and is doing it I today.

"The foremost leaders of the so- I «alled Orthodox religion owe their in- ! fWnce to the proclamation of the "new | theology,' as th-y call it. but which I* I nothing more nor less than the reflec-

tion of that faith which we. as Unita- | r4ar»a are proud to proclaim. We are [ not ashamed to acknowledge that we

ore numerically one of the weaker de- | nominations for we lay f;.r more stress I upon the truths that we proclaim than [.numbers we attract.

"We cannot forget however, that we | are heirs of men who, while calling i themselves Unitarians, helped to es- . tahlish our nation, to build our litera-

ture, and to adorn our life.-*

BEST COUGH MEDICINE FOR CHILDREN.

When you buy a coiigh medicine for small children you want one in which you can place implicit confidence. You want one that not only relieves but cures. You want one that is uninies- tionably harmless. You want one that is pleasant to take. Chamberlain's Cough Remedy meets all of these conditions. There is nothing so good for the coughs aad colds incident to childhood. It is also a certain preventive and cure for croup, and there is no danger whatever from whooping cough when it i« given. It has been used in many epi- demics, of that disease with perfect success. For sale by all druggists. Law- rence; E. M. At W. A. Allen, Andover C. II Shattuck, Ballardvale.

Our Education Feminized. The report of the Alfred Mosely

commission, composed of British educators who inspected American schools

last year, has just been made public. Its gen- e r a 1 tone is commendatory, | Surprise Is ex-1 pressed In the' Interest taken by men in edu- J cntional matters nnd in the desire for knowledge1

shown by' American children. Mr. Mose-!

declares^ that the British' system Is obso-

lete, because It does not give practical and scientific training. One of the. most striking comments is what the j commission calls the "feminizatlon" of' our system, due to coeducation and the i employment of women teachers. Pro- | fessor Armstrong says that "the Amer- ican boy Is not being brought up to, punch another boy's head or to stand after his own Is punched," and that a "strange Indefinable feminine air" is coming over the men and a tendency toward "a sexless tone of thought." Notes.

The report Is current that the Uni- versity of Chicago in a short time will adopt the Oxford system of lustruc- ■ tion so as to have a complete system of colleges for men and for women.

SCIENTIFIC

Reasdt of Dietary Testa. In a paper read before the National

Academy of Sciences at Washington, April 20, Professor R. H. Chlttenden of the scientific school at Yale gave the principal conclusions arrived at by his recent dietary experiments in which a number of soldiers, students and pro fessors were engaged. His main con- clusion is that the average healthy man eats from two to three times as much as he needs to keep him In perfect physical and mental health and vigor. He said that all of the subjects remained In the best of health daring the test and only a few lost in weight, while their bodily vigor and strength were much greater. The plan had been to greatly reduce the amount of meat and other foods.

The Street Railway and Town Rights:

The .Selectmen have granted the j right to the street railway company, to I build their long turnout un the Hill, j We ran easily believe that it has not lieen easy for the Selectmen tu settle \ tlii? question to the satisfaction of tlie company and the citizens interested, and it i- not likely that they have entirely succeeded in doing so.

liut the critic who criticises without any consideration of the real facts hearing upon the case, should give s e heed to the present conditions I governing the street railway situation. ! We urged recently the necessity of ex-1 tending the live-cent limit to the end of this new turnout if the right .to ljuiM should lie granted, a manifestly fair alid reasonable reiiuest, and one thai -hould he grunted aside from anv additional cone—ion by the town to otlset it.

We did this without any reference to the supreme court decision, in which the towns are denied the right to li\ fares or to place any new restrictions upon ^i company already having a franchise. The railway company takes every advantage of these provisions, And the result is that no extension of the live-cent limit call he secured through this new grant.

It is certainly coining to be very clear that the question of control of streets, so far as they relate to public service utilities having the use of them, is getting to be a sharply defined issue between town and state. The town no longer controls either the use or abuse of its highways as it once did. The state has by legislation taken to itself the regulation and control which econ- omists have always contended it had a right to do. which new conditions and new demands have seemed to make it necessary lor her to do.

With the operation of this new mode of state control, as town after town finds itself unable to ilo anything not approved by the state through one or another of its commissions, there is bound to arise a sharp and vigorous protest, which will ojien up in Massa- chusetts one of the most interesting problems to be imagined. If state control and regulation, lrased UIKUI the theory which is well grounded, that the highways belong to the public, and that their use must be broadly considered allowing for the wide demands or the entire people "f the state, and not restricted to the narrow control of any city or town, .if state control under biicii a theory shall serve wisely the interests of idl without abusing the interests of any, then if will justify its existence. II. on the other hand, it shall ride rough-shod over the wishes of the com. ■ nullity which has year after year taxed itself to improve its local thorough- fares, which feels it lias the larger right to those highways, which can get in return no satisfactory recompense to pay for its inconvenience from the public-service companies who are pro tecled in them, then the towns and cities will combine to secure the return

ot local control, whether control is based upon g 1 theory or not.

This seems to us very clear carries any b-sson to the commissions who coi|trol, and to the companies who enjoy, the privileges, It carries the lesson of t|1(. great danger in to,, arbi- trary use of the power they now have, and of tli,. necessity that local rights shall not In- ruthlessly set aside. And in this particular case, it carries the importance of the Railroad Commission giving the fullest and fairest consideration to the demand of the Andover authorities, for a readjustment of street railway fares.

The second meeting of young men interested in the newly formed Athletic Association was held in tne lower Town liaM on Saturday evening, when about "»u i tuned out to hear the reports of the various committees and to get more information-ia regard to the project.

The meeting was called to order by temporary presideut .John N. Cole, who explained to many of the young men who had not been present at the £rnt meeting, the aim and prospects of «nch an organization. He called for the report of the membership committee, and t hairman Nesbit (.. GleatOO said that in all there were about 70 junior and senior names enrolled and 10 honorary members with the promise of many more.

Principal Alfred K. stearin? of Phillips Academy was then called upon by the chairman for a few words. Mr. Stearns said that he thought it was a very good thing and lioped that the association would be successful. All must pull together in it and work for the interest of the town, He thought that the friendship would be stronger between the members and that many new friends would he made. He concluded by say- rug that he would be very gUd to assist in any way he could and hoped to be able to get some pleasure from it while in Amlover.

In the absence of the chairman of the committee on by-laws, Mr. Cole read the report, and discussions on the various articles was niade. Philip Reed thought that having the name Andover Athletic Association it would conflict with Hie teams at Phillips Academy. The sentiment of the meeting, however, was to call it such and it was thought that if monograms were used, one could be de- signed to serve without conflicting. It wits voted to retain the name.

The article relating to officers created a good tleal of discussion and it was tinally voted to have three vice presidents instead of one, as in the article, and to have an advisory board elected by the executive committee, which is to consist of the officers of the club. The hoard is to be elected annually.

The report of the nominating committee was then read by Chairman Frederic S. Boutwell which was as follows: President, Myron E. Cuttersou; vice-presidents, Alfred E. Stearns, Pat- rick .1. Ilamioii and Henry A. Bod well; secretary, David L. Coutts; treasurer, Nesbit <;. Cleason.

It was then voted to adjourn and the next meeting will be held subject to the call of the executive committee.

After the meeting many more names were added to the list and up to date there is a very large membership.

MRS. ISABELLA McCROSSAN.

Another of Andover's old residents has passed away, tliis time the summons coming to Mrs. Isabella (McCourt) Mc- Crossan who for the past 21 years has made Andover her home. She was born in Ornagh, County Tyrone, Ireland, In 1842, where she was married and where her husband died 2H years ago. Soon after she came to this country with her family and took up her residence in Lawrence. Two years later they moved to this town where they have since resided. •

Mrs. McCrossan was taken sick about one week ago with pneumonia and although she made a strong fight for life, the odds weie against her and she passed peacefully away late Wednesday night. Four daughters, Mrs. McKeon and Mrs. Foster of Lowell, and Misses Annie and Ilelia McCrossan of this town, survive her, besides eight grandchildren.

The funeral will be htld tomorrow morning at !t o'clock in St. Augustine's church when solemn high mass will be celebrated by Rev. Fr. 1-ocke, with Fr. Driacoll as deacon and Fr. McCowan sub- deacon. Interment will be in St. Aug. tine's cemetery.

WILLIAM IIARNADY.

William Harnady passed away at his home on North Main street, Monday, at the age of 38 years. The deceased was born in Ireland and came to this country is years ago, locating in Andover. For some time lie was a trusted employee of lieorge Chandler, who was then iu the coal business, and later worked in the same capacity for Frank E. Cleason. A few years ago he entered the employ of the Public Works department of the town, and up to the time of his late illness lie was driver for that department. He had been sick for some time and death was not wholly unexpected.

He leaves to mourn his demise a wife and four small children, the oldest being nine ami the youngest one year and nine months.

The funeral was held Wednesday from St. Augustine's church at !» o'clock. Rev. Fr. Field being celebrant, assisted by Frs. Locke ami Mctiowan. The hearers were rive cousins and an uncle of the deceased. Michael and James Meniban, Patrick, .lames, Cornelius and I>aniel Moynihan.

Studio Talks.

The Board of Health publishes their, rules and regulations in this week's issue. We doubt if all of them are I

■strictly complied with in Andover : we ! have the impression that some of them are very sully abused, l>ut the obliga- tion for their enforcement is not entirely upon the Board of Health. Each citizen- is to a greater or less degree a maintain,'r of law arid order, and this applies to health rules as well as anything else.

The religious duty of every citizen and his children to go to the May breakfast, comes a little earlier this year than usual, but it is none the less imperative. I^t none of us forget that the breakfast comes tomorrow morning, in tlit; Town ball, from 5.30 to S.'i".

Let him do all the worryiny. You are paying him to do it. Act as though you thought that these would be^he best photographs you ever had made, and no doubt they will be—continued next week. — Sherman Studio.

BYRON TRUELL COMPANY Patriots' Night at Grange.

The (• range held a very unique and pleasant meeting Tuesday evening, the occasion being patriots' night. The pro- gramme consisted of instrumental music by Mr. Newton and Miss Hardy, vocal music by Robert Watson, assisted by a chorus, leading by Frank Hardy, and a veiy appropriate and stirring address by John N. Cole on patriotism. Mr. Cole hypnotized his audience as it were, as he presented to them what true patriotism is, and what it means to be truly patriotic, not only iu public life but also iu private life. „

These exercises were followed by a "pig killing." Some four or five weeks ago the Ladles'club of the (.range gave out to its members about ninety pigs, in the form of banks. Fifty or more were brought in Tuesday night and slaughtered, and a handsome sum was realized. Mrs. George Hurnham of the North Andover (.range, but who attends the Andover Grange, secured the prize for having collected the largest amount. The Grange after killing her pig, realized $20.00. Mrs. S. H. Bailey's- pig came next in size.

Following the "pig killing" there was a good old fashioned supper. Mr. and Mrs. George Carter were in charge of the supper committee.

The ladies of the Grange sincerely hope that all members who did not return the pigs Tuesday night, will send or bring them in by the next meeting, and that the sum total may be sufficient to paint the hall without any further delay.

Competition in Music.

The first annual Andover Competition in Music will take place at the Novem- ber club house on Saturday, April SO, at two o'clock. There will be thirty con- testants in piano and violin play frig and one prize will be awarded in each grade. The judges are to be Mrs. Ralph L. Flanders, Mrs. Owen Gates, Miss (.race Norton, C. W. Oliphant, Edgar B. Samp- son and Rossiter Howard.

There is great interest felt in this first annual music contest, not only by the competitors and their friends, but by all Andover people who iove music and realize that no surer method of interesting people in music and providing for its growth could be taken than this one of offering an opportunity for an annual competition. The object of establishing a music contest is to encourage, to keep alive, and to improve, the general condition of music in our town; to offer in- ducements for study; to interest the public in good music and local resources; and to bind together all who love music, whether as teachers or players, for the common purpose of advancing musical art.

COMMUNICATION To the Editor:

Roger came in greatly distressed over the leader in hist week's Tnwoman "Does it pay.'" I told him perliiM spring malaria was at the bottom ol this melancholy howl. He said the editor was ill a while, and maybe,Brownie wrote it to make trouble for him. V7e agreed that all work worth doing at all paid for itself in accomplishment of schemes, and that cheerful wa.itii.gfor blind eyes to see, and careless hearts to express appreciation of service, as well as to appropriate the comfort of results, was not common in family, town or even national environment, and that the greatest Servant of all had provided lire joy of achieving for those who lill llie ranks of the working half of the present generation. Go on iu good work; keep cool (if you can with physical disability to tight), but be sure to keep voureye on'the goal, and not on the cheering spectators of the race, and above all things be a '•.Sunny Jim." Tiiat-is what we all need in Andover every Friday night, under wind and weather to date.'

Tl:e Board of Selectmen met in regular session on Monday afternoon in the Townhouse. The first business of importance which was transacted was the granting of licenses for the ensuing year. These were as follows: t.eorge S. Cole, auctioneer; David Cuthbert, junk dealer; Oliver W. Vennard. junk dealer; John J. Cronin, junk dealer: Samuel S. Keezer, second band clothing: Harriett Rogers, auctioneer; Barnett Rogers, in- telligence office; Henry \V. Cunningham. junk dealer; Mrs. Abbie Cunningham, second hand clothing; Klla I.. Holt, in- telligence office. . The Selectmen also voted to grant the franchise to the Boston A Northern Street Hallway company to lay tracks, erect poles and wires, and-electrically urn cars over the turnout from the Hidden road, l'OOO feet northerly, in accordance with the hearing which was given to the citizens of the town on April 11. The franchise is.granted subject to any and all rights of the Massa-

chusetts Highway Commission. As a condition of the grant the railway company shall, at its own expense to be conveyed to the town, a strip of land about six feet wide on the west side of Main street opposite said location, as shown in the plan approved by the Selectmen.

It is the Hoard's belief that with this new turnout the travelling public will be better accommodated than at present. At.present the cars from Lawrence run only to the top of the MIL but it is the intention of the railway company to rqn the cars down on this turnout and meet the Heading car and thus save considerable time in changing.

At the time of the hearing considerable discussion arose over charging an extra fare*for the jide on this turnout, but as the Massachusetts Kailroad Com- missioners arrange the payment of fares the question will necessarily be left in

their hands. "*

TWENTY-FIVE YEARS A PRIEST

Rev. Fr. Lynch, Formerly of St. Augustine's Silver Jubilee.

Parish, Observes

at St. Laurence's church Monday morning the silver jubilee of Rev. Fr. P. J. Lynch's ordination to the priesthood was celebrated.

Included among the large number of people who attended the services were iMe-'Hturns or former parishioners ut Fr. Lynch in Andover. Ballardvale, Wilmington, and Ameshury. his .nom*.

Before mass was celebrated a committee of his local parishioners ga%e him a generous check and the altar U-ys of the church presented him with a silver token.

Mass was celebrated at 10 .^o'clock. Ft. Lynch was celebrant, the Rev, Fr. F. A. McCranor, <•• S. A- or Hooaic Falls N Y deacon; the Kev. r r. M. J. Locke, O. S. A., of Andover, sub- deacon; and th,- Rev* Fr. M. Milanese, 0. s. A., or this city, master of cere- monies.

The following priests attended: The Rev. Fr. Thomas Field, O S. A., the Rev. Fr. John B. Leonard. O. ». A., the Rev. Fr. Maurice Murphy, O. 5. A., the Rev. Fr. Henry S. Adam, O. S. A., the Rev. Fr. Charles G. Mc- Kenna O S A., the Rev. Frederick Medina. O. S. A., the Rev. Fr. Joseph Shetokas of Lawrence, the Rev. Fr. T. P. Callahman of Lowell, the Rev. Fr. Thomas Moylan of Boston, the Rev. Fr. John Keleher of Allston, the Rev., Fr. J. H- Gallagher of Roxbury, the Rev. Fr. C. M. DrJscoll. O. S. A., T<astor of St Laurence's and the Rev. Fr. J. J. Gllday of St. Patrick's i hurch. South -Lawrence.

The'Jubilee sermon was preached by the Rev. Fr. James T. O'Reilly, O. S. A. of St. Mary's church. Miss Kathe- riae,.Q. Scannell was organist.

Fr. O'Reilly took for-his text. 'Thou art a priest forever, according to the order of Melcblesedech." PH. 109, and spoke as follows:

The occasion that brings as together today is not one of rare occurrence, neither is It one of frequent happening. '-at it is one of full meaning for one around whom we gather today with our congratulations on the completion of his quarter of a century in the priesthood. It- Is replete with significance for us all as we may discover on a short reflection.

"A priest forever, an eternal priest, who shall say that he comprehends, what is meant by an eternal priesthood. The priesthood is the greatest dignity on earth". Its duties and re- sponsibilities are more weighty than of any other office in fche keeping of men. It Is well that this is in a measure concealed from the young aspirants for sacred orders. The call to the priesthood comes from God. "You have chosen me, but I have chosen you.'

"The priest with his face.to the altar is the man, communing to him the sacrifice of calvary on behalf of hit people, with his back to the altar he

is the minister of God. c:o:hed with divine authority, speaking peace be to you, not the peace of the world, but the. peace of God.

"His duty is to bring to your souls the consolation of heaven. This he does as he bears to your home the treasure of grace that the Almighty God has committed to his keeping. But it is In the eternity of this priesthood that its greatest and most sub- lime nature Is manifested. All worldly offices, all worldly honors and dig- nities, are limited to time, the priesthood alone rolls on f^r centuries and centuries. ,

■•The twenty-five years Father Lynch has so far given to the service of the altar are Insignificant in comparison with-the eternity before him. except in this that they work a long period In the temporal story, with us but a preparation for the eternal.

"About -I!! years this summer. I saw the young man walking from the rail- lortd station to Lhe college at Vllla- niifa. I said here comes a priest. He looked like one before h- put his foot on the college grounds. During his tim* nt college he was the trusted confidant of the students and the faithful friend nf the faculty. --During all the years since in which I have -known hirn. in- timately his life has been that of a humble, sincere mar:, faithful to all charges and of d*"T< <<--\:>\ loyalty. A man not given to any .blustering in public life, but indifferent as te where ilo- call of duty placed'him. As cheerfully laying down !he duties nf oflVe as others took them up.

The Rev. Fr. Lynch was born in Ire- land "."• year* ago. He came (to this country at the age of 15. ayid settled in Amesburv. and from there, in 167.! u»-nt to ViHn Nova nnHege to prepare for the priesthood. He was ordained a priest In the cathedral nf Philadel- phia. April 25. 1ST" by Archbishop Wood.

In May of that year he came to Lawrence as assistant pastor at, St. Mary's but two months later WMS transferred to Mechanicsville, X. Y. He was later recalled tn Lawrence but was again transferred, this time to An- dover. where he served as -assistant pastor for \2 years, having charge of the missions at Wilmington and Bal- lardvale. For a Time he was pastor at Mechnnlcsvllle and Carthage. X. Y. Then bp was again transferred to Law- rence. This is the fourth,time he has been recalled to this city.

In view of the fact that is 40 years since Fr. Lynch l**ft Ireland, the one desire of his heart is again to set fool on Us soil. His superiors have granted him a leave of absence of three month? and as the parishioners and a few; of Fr. Lynch's out of town friends have prepared a purse for him he will sail for Ireland about the 10th nf May. where he will enjoy a much needed rest after 25. years of unceasing toll.

The semi-animal convention of the Lawrence district of the Massachusetts Sunday school Association was held in the South church yesterday afternoon and evening. The heavy downpour which prevailed during all the afternoon and evening kept many from the meetings who otherwise might have attended, but despite ihu fact there was a fairly good attendance at both meetings. The gatherings were enthusiastic ones as. seen by the various discussions in which many took part ami different views and ideas were given on the questions.

The afternoon session opened at !i.80 y£ \ with a short praise service after which

I Kev. K. H. Shipman of the home church spoke a tew words of welcome. In the absence of Kev. Mr. Fuller of Ballard- vale who was to have conducted the devotional service, Kev. H. G. Mank of Lawrence took his place.

Hamilton S. Couant, State secretary of the association gave a very interesting address on "How can we gather and hold young people for our Sjitiday schools'."1 lie made many valuable sug- gestions and gave instances where methods were in vogue to draw ami hold the young people in the work. A discussion of this topic followed when others told of their experiences ami the results of their work all of which showed the great amount of interest taken in Sunday school work.

The children's hour and home department work were taken up together by Mrs. Stebbins, State secretary of the home department and she defined very clearly the work and accomplishments of these branches of work.

An open t onference of all depart- ments was then held in which all took part with Mr. * onant, Mrs. Stebbins and Miss Atla Kinsman as leaders of tlie dif- feient depart men ts, the latter taking the place of Miss Stock who was unable to be present.

The reports of the various officers were then read and this closed the exercises for the afternoon.

At 6.15 all adjourned to the vestry where the tables were spread for supper. This was arranged and served by the Sunday school teachers of the south church and they deserve much credit for the very excellent repast which was spread.

In the evening at 7.15 a praise service was held with T. Frank Pratt as leader, and this was followed by a devotional service in which Kev. K. K. Shipman substituted for Kev. F. A. Wilson.

The Imperial Male Quartette of North Andover rendered several selections which were well received by the gathering.

At this point a graduation exercise was held when the Misses Florence E, Walnut. Mabel Truell, Clarabel Watson and Carrie Hutchins received diplomas, they having successfully passed the examination tittiug them for teachers in the Sabbath school as prescribed by their own school. The presentation was made by Mrs.. II. «». Mank. all being members of the Second Baptist Sunday school of Lawrence.

'Hie moat Important address of the convention was made by Kev. K. V. Bigelow of LoweiLwho hail for his topic, "The Bible, God's Word." Mr. Bigelow, who is a most eloquent speaker, dealt with his subject in a masterful manner and held the attention of the congregation all through his discourse.

He took for his points the great facul- ties, hearing and seeing. He pointed out that no two men hear or see alike and that all have a different conception of the same Ihing. He said that a boy may hear music every day but he would not know what music really was until he heard some great master. So it was with religion, any one might know in a way what the word of God was but a fuller knowledge could only be gained through studying His word.

The usual collection was then taken and the convention closed about nine

Americans Drinking More. The total retail cost of stimulating

beverages consumed in this country In one year, according to the latest estimates made by the American Grocer, is $1,451,633,370, or about $18 for each inhabitant.

New York Democrats Set the Pace Democratic conservatism has challenged Democratic radicalism.

From the convention at Albany last week the document was Issued along with the formal Instructions to name Alton It. Parker for president. Already the declaration of principles and policies thus favored by the party In the pivotal Empire state has called the fire of Bryan and his radical followers, while most of the old line party leaders in congress, from east, south and west, have hastened to accept this platform at least aa a step In the right direction. But whichever element may control nt St. Louis. New York's stand foreshadows a new party of radicalism whicli may or limy not supersede the old Democracy.

The cliiei points of the New York platform are opposition to a foreign policy of adventure nnd the spirit of military domination. Just refla- tion of state corporations and no partnership with protected monopolies, n check upon public expenditures, reasonable revision of the tariff, the maintenance of state riehts nnd home rale and no centr4llzatlon, honesty in the public service and impartial maintenance of the rights of labor and of capital.

The declaration is notable for making no reference to tb,e last two Democratic platforms or of the radical policies therein advocated.

PETITION WAS PRE-

SENTED.

ThT long awaited petition for a writ j Of mandamus tu compel Mayor Lynch to re-Instate the sixteen police officera who twere dropped at the end of their | probationary term of six months, was ■ lilrd in the supreme court at Boston.J Tuesday noon by Assistant District At- ' torney Roland H. Sherman, who is as- ! suciated with'Col. John P. Sweeney and. Donovan & Arundel as counsel I for th* deposed officers. j

The writ will be served on Mayor j Lynch tonight bv Deputy Sheriff Ab- | bott, and a hearing on the matter will ] probably be he'.d in a few days.

Sixteen officers were appointed by ' Mayor Giant last year and confirmed j by the board of aldermen of 1903 and | in an effort to reduce the expense of | the police department Mayor Lynch refused to appoint them after theii probationary term had expired as was necessary if they were to retain the'r positions.

. Sines early in March the officers i have been off duty. Efforts have been j made to induce Mayor Lynch to re- consider the matter and appoint the | officers. The mayor remained firm. | claiming that there was no need of 1 the sixteen officers, and they have therefore taken the case to the courts | In an attempt to compel the mayor to | re-Instate them.

The case will serve as a teat of the t Civil service law and the various steps I in the matter have been watched with (

interest in many cities where officers have been removed In a similar manner or attempts have been made to reduce t". ■ force.

Th mayor did not prefer charts against the officers and admitted that their probationary term had been spt- tsfactory, but that their services were not required.

The claim of counsel for the police men is that the mayor Is violating the clvi] service regulations in failing to permanently appoint the officers after an admittedly satisfactory probationary term.

Following is the petition for for the writ of mandamus.:

mua in favor of your petitioners, to be dire-ted against the said respondent, as mayor as aforesaid commanding :he said -respondent to nominate your petitioners to said Hoard of Aldermen u pd to appoint or employ your petitioners as members o. the regular police force of said city.

STORY OF A TIRED-OUT MINISTER

,OWE YOU my heartfelt gratitude," said a minister to one of our repre- sentatives recently, "for insisting on my trying a bottle of Rexall Mucu-Tone. You know I am not at all addicted to the medicine habit, and I was rather skeptical of the merits of Mucu-Tone. Ms, you urged me, and I could see no harm

in trying it Since then I have used three bottles, and have recommended it to I don't know how many people.

" I am convinced that you were right when you told me that I had some kind of catarrh—of the kidneys, I judge, from the terrible backache I experienced, yet I had supposed that catarrh was a disease of the nose and head only. I have read the Mucu-Tone booklet, however, and I can now understand how catarrh attacks any part of the mucous membrane.

"Rexall Mucu-Tone is wonderful. I am using it three times a day, and have not felt so well in years. It is giving me strength, and I believe I am adding some flesh."

How many churchgoers reaLze the strain under which their pastor labors ? , \

How many appreciate the fatigue that follows his Sunday work? The nerve-recking, brain-wearing duties that endure from week's end to week's end, from the beginning of the year to the close, and from one year to another ?

But this cannot go on forever. Sooner or later a minister so pressed feels his energies waning. After a while there is a break-down—a physical and mental collapse. If he could only get out into the country for a month or two of absolute rest, but—why suggest such an impossible thing! We know that no minister can spare the time for this. Neither can any other business or professional man. The next best thing is to replenish the wanirg vitality by artificial means—to help Nature in her efforts to supply energy and nerve power.

Our new remedy, Rexall Mucu-Tone, does this.

Physical and mental exhaustion is due to a catarrhal congestion of the mucous membranes. Rexall Mucu-Tone cures it by cleansing these membranes, driving out the poisons and allaying the inflammation. It also revitalizes the blood, steadies the ragged nerves and builds up the body.

Hundreds of old people right here in Andover need just such a strength maker and body builder as my delicious cod liver oil preparation. Vlool; ami 1 simply cannot understand why they will continue to drag out a half-dead ami half-alive existence, when I guarantee Vinol will infuse new iife, invigorate every organ in the body, stop the natural decline and make titem well, vigorous ami stroiig.

If you want to know how an aged. feeble, discouraged man or woman may be made active, cheerful and vigorous, read this letter:

Mis. < atherlne Therer of Albany. N. V.. writes: "Six months ago I fell that 1 was broken down by age, and 1 was doomed to the weak and feeble condition of old people. The slightest exer- tion tiied me, and I had 00 Strength. My daughter brought me a bottle ul Vinol. I soon felt an improvement, I continued its use. and am now well, cheerful and stronger than I have been for years; in tact. 1 feel 10 years younger."'

Vinol is not a strong stimulant which reacts on the system, but it is a genuine tonic ami bod\ builder which creates strength by "Building up every organ in tlie body to do its work as nature intended, and makes rich, red blood. In this way it stops the natural decline ami replaces weakness with vigor. I wish every old person in Andover would try Vinol on my guaiautee to return money if it fails. 'Take a dose of Vinol after each meal and every night before retiring ami note its beneficial .effect. W. A. Allen, Ph.D., Druggist.

Her own work in the Door of Hope in New York and the sixt\ blanches which have been established in other cities, is sufficiently well known to be a guarantee for the hincerity of her purpose-and wisdom of her plans. in a circular which she has sent oet she slates that the sum of * 125,000 has been raised by a syndicate of procurers, saloon ami dive keepers, to be used with most infamous methods to decoy young girls from their homes to lives of degra- dation and shame,

LASH—QUIOLEY.

The following, taken from a Dover, N. II., paper of Monday, will be of interest to many local people:

"One of the prettiest weddings to take place in this city for some time at least, was solemnized at St. Mary's church this moruiug by Uev. Father Keddeu. The contracting parties were Thomas I'. < ash and Miss Annie M. IJuigley, two of Dover's most popular young people. Ihe best man was .John K. Davy and the bridesmaid was Miss Mary McDonald of Andowr. The . ushers were John (irimes and I'. McCarthy. The ceremony was witnessed by a large number of friends of the contracting parlies. The bride was beautifully gowned in Hena cloth over blue silk, while the maid of honor wore a gown of steel nun's veiling. After the ceremony at the church, the bridal party repaired to the home of the groom's parents; Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Cash, No. 47 Court street, where a reception and wedding breakfast was served to a merry party. A most pleasant time was enjoyed until time to leave for the 2.03 train for Boston, on which the happy pair Left for a short wedding tour amid the best wishes and congratulations of their many friends. On their return the couple will take up their residence at No. 0, Union street.

"A very pretty feature of the wedding and one not often witnessed on such occasions in this city, was the line turnout which conveyed the bridal party to and from the church. The contracting parties and the best man and bridesmaid were conveyed in John A. Lliddeu's landeau, drawn by four beautiful black horses, richly caparisoned and bedecked with white ribbons, attracting much attention ami eliciting exclamations of admiration as they passed through the street. This elaborate turnout was followed by a hack with other members of the party."

The bride resided for many years in Mai land Village in tins' town.

Herrmann the Great.

A very large audience greeted Herr- mann the Great when the curtain was raised for his entertainment of magic and legerdemain, which was given in the Town hall last Friday evening. From beginning to end they were kept in a constant laughter ami wonderment at his clever tricks and sleight-of-hand performances.

The' entertainment was given under the supervision of a number of I*. A. students with <i. VV. llallowell as manager, and they should be congratulated on getting such an artist as Herrmann to come here.

The audience was a very select one, most of its rrpresentatives being from the hill and the best parts of the town, the price of tickets of course keeping away many who would otherwise have liked to attend.

Assisting Herrmann were the Laskeys, cornet experts, who rendered several solos and duets in a manner that capti- vated the audience. Their rendition of the several I'uited States -bugle calls was especially pleasing, being charming- ly executed. They were attired in cadet uniform and their appearance added greatly to their musical Selections.

All of Herrmann's work was executed with great cleverness, and as he said in beginning his entertainment, " The more you looked .the less you aiiw,"
