raj gentlemen who were IN the vicinity sue
ceeded in separating the combatants. Mr..

Among the latest improvements in
railway rolling stock may be mentioned
the iron freight cars, turned out by the
National Tube Works Company Of Nc
Kccsport, Pa, two specimens Of which,
a fiat and box car, are now on the Bos-
ton and Albany Railroad tracks, corner
Of Harvard and Utica Streets. The
framework Of the freight ear Is made Of
wrought iron pipes and steel rods and
covered with shcet-iron, no rivets being
used. Il is put together without nuts,
bolts, mortises or tendons, and il is
claimed that every part contains the
whole strength Of the material used
part being cut or weakened. The claim
Il made BY the builders that not only il
there saving by their wrought-iron
cars Of at least rs per cent. in dead
weight over ordinary wooden freight
cars, but the capacity for carrying
hcagv freight Is increased al least 80
per cent. In the matter Of repairs, II Il
also claimed that the cost will not be
one-fourth Of that Of wooden cars. An
other obvious advantage Is that these
iron cars are practically fire-proof, and
will last very much longer than wooden
cars. II Is evident they will never tel
escope like ordinary freight cars. The
cars on exhibition are worth visit by
all interested in the subject Of trans
p0rtation.

The death Of the distinguished Cath
ollie Archbishop oi Baltimore, saws the
New York Graphic, recalls 10 the mem.
DRY Of some 81 those who remember him
In his youth the romance Of his early
life. When he decided 10 leave the
Episcopal ministry, for which he had
been trained, and study for the priest
hood, he made sacrifices that few men
are called upon 10 endure. He gave up
al once not only his social position, but
the great fortune which his uncle, Mr..
James Roosevelt, after whom he was
named, intended 70 bequcath him, and,
worst of all to some hearts, he renounc-
cd the woman whom he loved.
One Of the most famous bellies that
New England ever produced was Miss
Julia Beers, a daughter Of Judge Beers,
Of Litchiicld, Conn. During the first 30
years Of this century the law-school Of
Litchfeld was considered the most dis
tinguished institution Of the kind in the
country. II drew 10 this bleak New
England village the young men Of the
best families throughout the country,
and one Of its most honored teachers
was Judge Beers. His daughter was
beautiful blonde Of the rarest type, with
waving hair Of pale gold, large blue eyes,
and figure remarkable for its tall and
slender grace Added 10 these natural
gifts, she possessed also fine voice u
remarkable power and compass. which
she constantly improved by training,
while her fine natural powers Of
mind were cultivated by every adj
vantage Of education. 80 that at
20 she was woman of rare and re-
markable fascination. Az this time,
during summer pleasure trip, she met
the young Episcopal clergyman, and the
two became engaged. The Rev. Mr.
Bayley was, ut this period, a strikingIy
handsome man, possessing qualities Of
heart and mimi sure to endear him 10
those with whom he was brought in
contact. They were, indeed, a remarkable
man and woman who met in that long
past summer, and she, who had been in

facture Of a speciality appropriately called

chairs. Having been engaged In the business
for so a long period, il is not perhaps to b.
wondered at that be has succeeded in produc-
ing a chair Of unusual excellence. In the
chairs made by him hard wood is used-prin-
cipally maple and white elm-wnieh is care

thoroughly seasoned. In fact everything
about the chair is made Of the best material
by experienced workmen, and under Mr. sin

obtained that Mr.. Sinclair is compelled 10 eau
ton buyers TO see that his name is stamped
upon the chair before buying, in order to avoid
purchasing a counterfeited and inferior article
Yet, with creditable frankness, he does moi
claim that his chairs are the cheapest in thu
market, but claims, with emphasis, that they
are the best made.

EnIninry Stimulation.

When vital action is sluggish, stimulant,
provided it be pure and properly medicated,
is the most reliable agent for imparting the
necessary impetus to the semi-dormant Or
gans, acceerating the languid circulation and
averting the maladies to which functional
inactivity gives rise. Physicians who have
employed Hostetter's Stomach itters in their
practice pronounce it the most salutary tonic
stimulant they have ever used, and especially
commend it rs a remedy for torpidity of the
bowels, liver, stomach and kidneys, and as
resuscitant of vital energy. The medicinal
value of the Bitters is due to the fact that
with their basis of pure old rye are combined,
in perfect chemical harmony, the best restora-
tive and life sustaining elements known to
medical botany. The Bitters never deteriorate
| in the most unfavorable climates.
