A Manual of Health.

An edition Of between nine and ten millions OF
copies of very useful work is now ready for gratu-
itous distribution, and can be mad for the asking
at any drug store in the United States, the British
Colonies, Spanish America or Brazil. The work re
ferred to Hostetters Almanac for 1913 The medical
portion Of 1t treats Of the various ailments TO which
the human system is subject and sets forth the Pc
culiar properties Of Hostetter's Stomach Bitters-
the purest and best tonic at present known-as a
preservative Of health and strength, and as RENE
dy for debility and disease. The Almanac is printed
in all the principal languages Of the civilized world
and reaches larger number OF families and lndi-
viduals than any ether medical treaties that ever
Issued from the press. No man or woman who has
a due regard fer that choicest Of heavens blessings
bodily vigor, should fail to read the plain simple
and convincing articles which this truly practical
publication contains. The miscellaneous matter is
varied instructive and amusing, and the calendar

an article OF prime necessity. The medical technt-
eaties which render so many medical treAtises in.

TUESDAY Afternoon, DEC. "a.
THE NEW YORK TRIBUNE.

And now, after all, the Tribune remains in the
control of Mr.. Reid and his friends. This must
be welcome news to the Times, which is thus
made sure of retaining its position as the lead
ing Republican newspaper in New York. Had
the Tribune gone into Mr.. Colfax's charge there
would have been sharp contest for supremacy
In that field. Mr.. Reid is a good editor and
makes good pAper-at times. His worst fault
in his apparent lack Of earnest convictions ana
his readiness, demonstrated during the recent
campaign, to permit even the news departments
of the paper to be manipulated and crammed
with falsifcations, in order to aid the political
efforts Of the editorial department. As vehi-
Gle Of information, the Tribune became, at one
time totally unreliable, an error which Mr.. Reid
must not repeat, if he hopes to preserve the
strength Of his great journal.

The New Ynr. rrIhnnn.

The Tribune, this morning, in long editorial,
announces that all the orton purchase and other
schemes have fallen through, members OF the
old staff have bought back the 0rton stock, and
it is to be run on the present programme. The
heading Of the editorial page now is 1.-The New
York Tribune, Founded by Horace Greeley"
The article says
at il now properto state, however that as
the result of fcertanintrigues and outside efforts
to gain control Of the paper aud wrest it from
the purpose to which our late chief devoted
it, some changes have taken place in
the propnetorship, and large majority of
the stock is to-day permanently concen-
trated in the hands of Mr.. Greeiey's chosen
editorial associates, men whom he trained for
this particular duty to whom he intrusted the
management of his journal in the gravest
emergencies, whom he honored with the con-
hdence of his thoughts and wishes, and whose
purpose it now is TO continue the work from
which he was 80 suddenly called away.

EDITORIAL TOPICS.

John Forster's second volume OF his biogra-
phy of Dickens is published, bringing the work
down to 1852, and quitting while the Great no
mancer was at work on Dduid CoPpTfIeId Inc
volume is Of course highly entertaining, but yet
blemished by scores Of paragraphs which annoy
offend. and disgust American readers. FORSTER
has already proved himself sad failure as a
biographer, however close he stood as inend'
and il he keeps on in the two other volumes
which are to complete the work, as he has
begun he will concusiyely demonstrate Dick
ems as man, to have been an intolerable British
prig.
Whatever question may arise In this State,
II West should be hung for murder over his
lifs-insurance money, the New York Bulletin
saws there is no danger Of such controversies in
that city, :'where murderers go unpublished,
"and where poor woman who steals the price
OF a loaf Of bread suffers heavier penalty
Ethan the wealthy wretch that shoots and toma-
"hawka his victim in the most public haunts."
And now new class of explosions! The
range boilers are at it. We have always been
suspicious that they might prove dangerous, for
all their harmless looks. In Cincinnati, ou Sun
day as the servant girl in the residence OF Col.
Moulton fired up the kitchen range, the hot
water pipe burst, tearing the range to atone
wrecking the furniture, and hurting Kate Con-
nor, one Of the servants, violently against the
wall, under heap OF embers. Her injuries
from burns were fearful and her clothing was
set on fire. The flames were extinguished but
the injuries, it is feared, are fatal. About the
same time a similar explosion happened at the
Henrie House, in the same city, but no one was
hurt.
-Impecunious members Of the New Jersey
Legislature look forward to the session with
feelings Of great satisfaction, and have fixed
most Of their notes TO fall due about February.
The Pennsylvania Railroad succeeding to all the
franchises and all the quarrels of the Camden Il
Amboy, is assailed on all sides by swarm OF
rival enterprises, and the prospect of fierce, bit

1t appears to be beyond doubt that Secretary
Boutwell, is a candidate for the United State'
Senate, from Massachusetts,, to succeed Mr.
Wilson, and that his only formidable competition
is Mr. Dawes. The Boston Journal is quite con
vinced moreover, that whether he shall be elect
ed Senator, or not, Mr. Boutwell, will not remain
in the Cabinet, after the 4th Of March. II de
precatea the idea OF a contest between him ant
Mr.. Dawes, saying that both are sure Of beint

now offered at the old store Of Messrs. Thomas

The whole Of their splendid stock is to be sold be-

our readers are aware theirs is THE house In lne

than those charged by other millinery firms for the
same qualities OF goods. Every day confirms this
in the experience Of their customers. Their most

Can $1,000 be Raised to Pay the Teachers.
A movement was inaugutated in the Board of
Public Education at it's meeting, last evening,
towards reconsideration OF the resolution by
which the salaries of the primary school teach
ers were recently increased. 1t seems that the
Board is pretty evenly divided upon the ques-
tonof increase, of salaries and there is likely to
be lively contest over the matter at its next
meeting. Those opposing the increase main
tain that provision is not, and cannot be, made
for funds to pay the additional sum required
thereby, while those who wish the teachers bet
ter paid hold that the $1,000. necessary, to meet
the extra outlay can be obtained by asking the
City Council for an additional appropriation.
There can be no doubt that our teachers are
poorly paid, and it is to be hoped, that no ques-
tion Of finance will stand in the way OF the Board
in maintaining the slight increase Of wages de-
cided upon at recent meeting. To have sue
cessful schools we must have capable teachers,
aud to maintain supply of these, they must be
adequately paid. At present, they are not.
