After Rainy Ride a Country Physician Tells
What He Thinks of Some People

Il wish TO gracious some people would learn
when they need a doctor and when they don't"
exclaimed Doctor E., as he entered his house
i'll cosy little village in the interior OF the State
Of New York, after tedious night ride of many
miles. Il have been down among the mountains to
see 4 man. who the messenger said, was very sick
and not likely to live till morning unless he had
immediate help; and found him suffering from a
rather sharp attack of collie, which his family
might have relieved in ten minutes, if they had
a grain of sense and two or three simple remedies
in the house But no; they must remain ignor-
ant as pigs aud when the least ache or pain takes
them, send for doctor, whether they ever pay
him or not"
Why, Doctor, what kind OF simple remedies
as you call them, do you expect people to keep in
the house. asked his wife, AS she poured him
cup of hot tea.
in this case" answered the Doctor, III they
had only put a BENSON'S CAPCINE POROUS
PLASTER on the mans stomach, he would have
been all right in an hour, and saved me a dreary
ride"
In all ordinary complaints it cures at once
All diseases are eliminated from the system by
what may be roughly called expulsion or extrac-
ton, or by union of the two processes. Bensons
Plaster promotes both. 1t incites the torpid
organs to act, and sends its hcaliug, soothing in
lnrncc through the myriad pores of the skin.
All other plasters obi .e- the palien, to wait They
give him hope for tomorrow. Benson's plaster
gives him help to-day. Which is better do you
think Buy the CAPCINE and keep it i'm the

LONDON, Oct. 15.-Thc recorder OF the
central criminal court to-day, charging the
grand jury In regard to the case of ODonnell,
said that the prosecution claimed that the
prisoner committed deliberate murder Of
the worst kind because the victim was man
who aided the law, who was under the pro-
lection of the crown and who was killed out
of revenge. lie pointed out the conflict in
the evidence regarding O'Donnell's exclama-
ton TO Mis-. Carey after he had shot her hus-
band. The recorder said 1t would be the
sworn duty of the jury to return a true bill
for murder against ODonnell. The wit
nesses for O'Donnell at Cape Town leave inn
medatcly for England. The trial will open
Thursday. 1t is thought the government
will not seriously oppose postponement.

THE VERMONT AND CANADA.
The Directors Reasons for Advising
the stockholders not y Exchange
for Consolidated BOndo

BosToN, Oct. 13.-The annual report of
the directors of the Vermont and Canada
railroad to be submitted to the stockholders
at the annual meeting next Thursday, gives
IN detail the reasons why it was deemed nee
essary to advise the roads stockholders not
to surrender their shares to the American
Loan and Trust company in exchange for
the bonds of the Consolidated railroads of
Vermont without obtaining security of I'M
questionable priority. The directors cannot
understand why the Langdon suit is not dis
continued as the directors of the Consolidated
railroad company and those of the Central
Vermont are identical. 1t would seem that
there must be some reason apparent to them
or some interest of theirs not common to
other expectaut holders of the new bonds
why such discontinuancc has not already
taken place. The report goes on to say
'1our directors see some cause for
alarm 10 the delay in disseminating
this suit aud in the call of the trust company
upon You to take new bonds forthwith or
hazard your right TO them forever. 1t seems
to us that until this suit is discontinued and
the receivership is ended mortgage to &C.
cure bonds imports nothing more than sec
ond mortgage, whereas the settlement re-
quires it to be first" The report refers to
the proposed sale of the Consolidated COM
pany and of the Central Vermont to the
Grand Trunk and asks if the Langdon suit is
is to be discontinued before such purchase
effected or il the Consolidated road is 10 be
turned over to the Grand Trunk before even
gaining possession of the property it has un-
dertaken to mortgage. The only mtans in
the opinion of the directors of enforcing
the fulfilment of the terms for settlement is
for the stockholders to retain their shares and
control their organization until the obstacles
to valid mortgage are removed.
