Mr.. DOUGLAS G. PERCY, Frostburg Md,
Dear Sir:
THIS Is TO CERTIFY, That have been
i afflicted with Hay Fever in its worst form
for about eight years, during which time l
have tried different remedies without any re-
lief, and had almost given up all hope of find
ing relief until last summer, ] was persuaded
to try your Hay Fever Remedy, and found
almost instant relief from the use of it. Up
to that time suffered periods of fever five
weeks each year, and portion Of the time
was confined to my bed. Last year by using
your Remedy was able to attend to my bust
ness during the time of the attack, which had
not done before. l can heartily recommend

A SCIENTIST says it takes pro-
digious'amount of vegetable matter
to form layer of coal that it is es-
timatel that the present growth of
the world would makea layer only
one-elghth of an inch thick, and that
it would take million years to form
a coal bed 100 feet thick. The
United States have an area of
100000 square miles of coal fields;
100,0OO,0O0 tons of coal were mined
in this country last year, enough to
run ring around the earth at the
equator ST feet wide and54 feet thick,
and there is enough coal in the United
States to supply the whole world for
a period Of 1900 to 1900 years. The
question of the exhaustion of the coal
supply is not Immediately important.
The anthracite coal in Pennsylvania
would last $50 years. while the BIZ
luminous coal IN the same district
would supply the world fifty-seven
years, and the United States $50.

the rush Of orders reported by the
Pittsburg Dispatch as pouring in on
the steel-rail manufacturers of that
section. The Dispatch says steel rails
have advanced to $50 and $1,000 at
the mills, the market is decidedly
firmer, the mills have all they can do,
and "enough orders to keep them in
operation the remainder of the year."
The orlers are particularly heavy

The Price.

Our friend Of the Columbus Dis
patch IS growing warm in his defense
Of the liquor traffic, and his chief
ldea seems to be that whisky brings
wlthit trade, and puts money into the
treasury.
And js the Queen City Of Missis-
slppi 50 poor that she must have the
little trade that whisky can draw,
at the price Of peace and morality
at the price Of the murder and
crimes which follow the liquor traf-
tlc- At the price Of many ruined
homes and wasted lives.
For every dollar Of trade that
whisky brings to your town, more
than 4 hundred are worse than vast
ed, more than hundred 90 into
the hands Of that pitiless tax-gath-
erer who wings the last cent from
the man whose wife and children are
starving at home.
And you say it has brought mon,
ey into the treasury. Yes, and it
has made maniacs and murderers-
1t has dug many graves and tolled
many funeral bells 1T has left many
orphans and paupers there, and it
Las filed many home with mourn
ing.
We're the price thousand times
greater than it is, it could never pay

Yes, it brings money into the

Gen. Swain Susnended.

The President has finally approved
the verdict of the Court Martial which
tried Gen. Swain. He is to be sus-
pended from rank and duty for twelve
years, and toforfeit one-half his month
ly pay during this period. This is the
third sentence tfIas has been proposed.
The first was that he be suspended
from rank, duty and pay for three
years, and the second was that he be
suspended with above conditions for
one year, and at the end of that time
that he be reduced to the grade of
Judge Advocate with the rank of
Major in the Judge Advocate Generals
department. The first and second
findings were returned, disapproved by
the President on the grounds that they
were not commensurate with the
offenses as found by the Court, and that
the second-the placing of accused in a
tower rank in the department in which
the office now held by him is part, is
impossible of enforcement by the execu-
tive alone. Why General Swain should
be retained as a pensioner upon the
army register after he has been found
unworthy to be trusted to perform the
duties of his important office is hard tc
understand.

The Square in Battle.

From the Scientific American we take
the following: -Lieut. Gen. Sir Edward
Hamley, Of the British Army, is strong
ly opposed to the tactics adopted by the
troops of forming squares in battle. He
argues that unless the front rank is
lying down, a position it could not
maintain when the enemy comes close
to the sides attacked, it delivers a fire
small in proportion to the number of
rifles, while the sides not attacked de-
liver none. Should the square be pene-
trated, then it becomes mob, because
the recoiling troops are pressed back on
the other forces. The troops forming
three sides OF the square have their
backs to the enemy who have succeeded
in getting inside, and such of the men
as face inward to meet the attack can
not fire on the enemy without also firing
into the opposite side of the square. He
thinks ii desirable to ascertain how far
the losses in the late action were caused
by the English fire during the melee.
When the whole brigade is placed in a
square, the chances Of disaster are I'M
mensely increased, as the sides of the
square are under different reoimental

such close association, while the extent
Of the space occupied rendersit difficult
for the brigade commander to convey
with sufficient promptitude the orders
necessary TO insure an ensemble, even
in movements of asimple kind, and inn
possible to effect a good formation when
engaged with an enemy in u much bet
ter formation such as echelons, or half
battalions or even double companies.

streets are thronged with people from
all parts of this broad land, who from
mingled motives of curiosity and patriot
ism have assemblies there to witness

President Of these United States.
With the inauguration of Cleveland
our county enters upon its twenty-fifth
Presidential term, though but twenty
men have before him, been elected to

people. Twenty-Five times the cere-
monies have taken place in the city of

Among the Law Makers, in the
March St. Nicholas most interesting
account is given of the Inauguration of
Presidents Washington, Grant and Gar
field, in which connection he writes:
The installation of President in our
day does not, after all, differ much
from those OF former times OF course
we must make allowance for the adj
! vanced condition of the present era.
/ The eighteenth century was that of

Law and Order.

Lancaster should have an organized
society interested in seeing that the
laws are enforced, and in influencing
furth er legislation for the suppression
of intemperance and kindred vices in
our midst. Chicago has an organiza-
ton called the Citizens Law and Order
League. Since its organization there
has been very great change for the
better. The society has been indefatig-
able in its warfare upon those who sold
liquor to minors and catered to that
kind of trade. In 1877 there were no
less than 5000 boys and girls arrested
in Chicago for drunkenness, and the
next year, the league having got to
work, the number was reduced to
l,400. The National league fifty re-
cognzed the excellent work wrought by
the league in electing the Hon. G. G.
Bonney President. He is temperance
man and reformer of the practical sort.
whose zeal is guided by discretion.
