in my practice with remarkable success
and found them peculiarly efficacious, when
applied to the back, for Weak Spine and

instant relief in Coughs, Colds and Liver

as the best and safest Plaster ever made,
and would caution the public against the
numerous other so-called Porous Plasters
that are sought to be palmed on on credu-

the moral power of the vote of women, and
the added strength numerically which that
vote would bring, is needed. Mrs. Ellis, of
Hartford, spoke upon the general subject of
woman suffrage, endorsing it heartily.

A Confidence Man Tries General Pratt
About ten weeks ago man called on Cen
eral Pratt, in Wethersfi cid, representing him
self to be a son of the late Hon. James L.
Orr, of South Carolina. After an hours
social chat he said he had been to Boston and
Maine on business, which detained him much
longer than be anticipated, and finding him
self short of fundS would be very much
obliged for loan sufficient to enable him to
reach home. This surprised the general
somewhat, who told him he never carried
| much money about his person, but he hand
ed him small sum which he said would en-
| able him to reach New York, where he could
| get all he might need. On taking it he said
l it would be returned as soon as he
reached home Two or three weeks
having passed and nothing heard of
| the man or the money, the general
| wrote to the postmaster at Anderson, South
Carolina, enquiring whether or not Governor
Orr left any sons. In reply, he said he left
four, giving the names and residence of each
The general Immediately wrote the one at
Greenville, stating the circumstances of the
call, etc in response to which he received
the not unexpected intelligence that the
fellow was an impostor, and probably the
same person who had been to Hartford to
secure the agency of sewing machine COM
pany;that he was not a lawyer by profession,
but gambler by practice. It was gratifying
to the general to learn that the sons of his
old friend, Governor Orr, were among the
most respected citizens of South Carolina.
