IMPROVED
Lock-Shtch Sewing Machines

Are wnrld-renowned for durability and SIM
plicity of machinery, the perfection ofthe ten
sons, and the unparalleled wide range of work
they are capable of perfhrming without change
or read justnlent q. -.:'
At the great "Expusition Universelle' in Pa
ris, in 1867, they were awarded the highest prize
a massive Gold Medalover 90 competitors,
and the Grand Gross of the Legion Of Honor was
conferred on Elias Howe as the original inventor
of the Sewing Machine
The growing appreciation Of their character
istic excellence by the intelligent people Of this
country was clearly shown By the unprecedent-
ed sales Of the Howe Sewing Machine during the
past year, being far in excess Of those OF any
other one patent.
More than 1909 Of these excellent machines
are in daily use in the cities Of Washington and
Georgetown, and Of this very large number
single case of dissatisfaction cannot be found
They make the "Howe" or "Lock-Stitch,"
which has the same beautiful appearance on
either side Of the fabric scwed, and they are the
only machines that make this beautiful stitch to
perfection.
A branch office has heen recently established
at No. lo5, King street. Ifyou ara prejudicedin
favor of any particular machine, at least exam
inc the Howe before you purchase. Remember
that Mr.. Howe was the original inventor Of the
Sewing Machine, and gave twenty years of his
life to perfecting this machine.
Every Howe Machine is warranted for ten
years constant use by the company, and Is kept
always in perfect order by the local agency.
Purchasers are thoroughly instructed at their
residences, by competent instructre;ses in every
variety Of plain and ornamental sewing.
An efficient lady operator will be in constant
attendance at the Office, and machine stitching of
every description will be neatly and promptly
executed ]. KARR, General Agent,

Now as the fact becomes moro patent overy
day that the various dirty and filthy preparations
advertised rs Reviewers, RestorativeS, &C., are
but compounds Of Sugar of Lead and Sulphur
and therefore should be Stunned by all who
value their health, it is scarcely matter of sur
prise that the demand for NATTANS' CR1s
tai DISCOVERY, admitted to be perfectly
harmless, and yet accomplish ALL and more, than
the poisonous articles claim to do, should have
increased so rapidly. 1t restores the color and
growth of the hair positively in few days;
strengthens the roots, makes an excellent dress
ing, soling neither clothes nor scalp; but on the
contrary it gives the scalp a pure and cleanly

most economical preparation in use. Put up in

Christian Courtesy.

Every man has faults, his fail
ings, and his peculiarities. Every
one of us finds himself crossed by
such failings from others from
hour to hour and if we we're to
resent them all, life would be in
tolerable. If for every outburst
of the hasty temper, and for every
rudeness that wounds lis in our
daily path, were we to demand
an apology, require an explana-
ton, or resent it by retaliation,
daily intercourse would be impos-
sible. The very science Of social
life consists in that gliding tact
which avoids contact with the
sharp angularities of character
which does not seek. to adjust or
cure them all. So a christian spir-
it throws a cloak over these
things. 1t knows when it is wise
not to see them. That micro
scopic distinctness in which all
faults appear to captious men,
who are forever blaming, dissen-
ting, OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES in
the large, calm gaze of love- And
oh it is this spirit which oul
christian society lacks, and which
we shall never get till each one
begins with his one heart. "

The Mormon Troubles.

SALT LAKE, Oct. 3O.-The pris-
oners are quartered comfortably.
Elder Geo. o. Cannon arrived
this morning from San Francisco,
and preached this p. M, in the
large Tabernacle, to an audience
numbering at least ten thousand.
He counselled his hearers to all
stain from any act of violence
and submit to the law. God
would protect them and deliver
them from their Prosecutors.
The crusade against them, he
said, would only strengthen and
glorify them in the end. Their
church could not be overturned.
Their faith was the Inspiration
of the Divine Spirit, and would
endure forever.
Elder Pratt was not SO con-
servative. He did not want any
whining Judge to say to him, as
he did to Hawkins "I am sorry
for you." He wanted no sympa-
thy from any Federal official. He
was ready to go to Jail for twen-
ty years, but did not want any
sympathy from such q source.
He predicted that God would
totally overthrow and annihilate
the present prosecutors of the
Mormon people.
Nothing further has been heard
from Orson Hyde, the apostle.

Alice Cary's Love.

1t has been repeatedly pub
lished that Alice Gary never
loved but once, and that the OBJ
ject of this deep affection wa
DIR. r. w, Griswold, the compiler
of two poetical works, who hat
befriended her in her adversity
and was a man of poetic talent
himself, but vain, wayward and
thriftless.
An intimate lady friend of the
deceased poetess denies this sto-
ry, so far as it makes DIR. Girls
void the object of Miss Cary's
love. This lady gives the fol-
lowing sad and romantic facts
from her own knowledge:
In the profoundest sense Alice
Gary never loved hut once. The
man whom she loved is still alive !;
yet gossip, with its keenest scent,
has never found or named him.
With all her fullness of affection,
hers was an eclectic and solitary
soul. He who, by the very pa
tent of his being, was more to
her than any other mortal could
be, might pass from her life, but
no other could ever take his
place. A proud and prosperous
family brought all their pride
and power to bear ON son to
prevent his marrying a girl un-
educated, rustic, and poor. "I
waited for one who never came
back" she said, 'yet I believed
he would come until 1 read in q
paper his marriage to another.
Can you think what life would be
lowing one, waiting for one
who would never come - He
did come at last. I saw him.
His wife had died, Alice was
dying. The gray-haired man sat
down beside tho gray-haired wo-
man. Life had dealt prosperous
ly with him, rs is it's won't with
men. Suffering and death had
taken all from her save the luster
of her wondrous eyes. From her
wan and wasted face they shone
upon him full of tenderness and
youth. Thus they met, with life
behind them-they who parted
plighted lovers when life was
young. He was the man whom
she forgave for her blighted and
weary life, with n smile of part
ing as divine as ever lit the face
of woman.
