ON man.

How beautiful are the above lines
uttered by the worlds creates mind!
How infinite the scope of mans
power if his faculties are we'll pre-
served. Nothing, short of creation
is to him impossible. Our soul is
lost in admiration when we contemp-
late the possibilities of this greatest
exhibition Of Infinite Power. Yet
what is this "quintessence of DUST
when blasted by disease-his noble
functions perverted or distroyedf
AS call men are born free and e.
quail" as far as moral rights are
concerned, SO likewise we hold they
should be born physically, but as
long as children must suffer for the
sins of their parents this cannot be.
That the human race has deteriola-
ted physically is a conceded ques-
ton. TO restore it is an impossible.
i'y, as long as people persist in i'm
morality and indulgences which are
in disregard Of natures laws. The
most we can do is to ameliorate this
condition, and cure disease in indi-
viduals.
To this end we offer to the public,
remedies which have done more
good-accomplished better results
in oyerthrowing disease than any
others which have been discovered
up to the present time, viz:
DIR. FLOWERS LIVER AND
STOMACH SENTATIVE, AND
NERVE PILLS.
The former is an infallible remedy
for all affections of the Liver and
Stomach, and is besides an invalu.
able general tonic. The latter is a
reliable cure for all nervous diseases
and conditions, snch as Hystcria,
Sleeplessness, Nervous Prostitution,
Depression caused by overwork,
etc.
These medicines are extensively
prescribed by physicians, "a recon-
mendation which does not obtain
with any other proprietary article
and command at the hands of the
druggists in New England a larger
sale than any other medicine.
IN HUNDREDS OF THOUS-
ANDS or BOTTLES SOLD,
THERE HAS NOT BEEN A
SINGLE COMPLAINT THAT
THEY FAILED TO DO WHAT
is CLAIMED FOR THEM. This
we hold is an unparalleled record
of success, and the strongest proof
of their excellence. AS positive ev.
idence we have thousands of testi-
monials which we will be pleased
to show, but which space prevents
publishing. The trial of one bottle
will be sufficient to satisfy you that
we make no false claims. A valu-
able pamphlet will be mailed free

Diaries are often very convenient docu-
ments to refer to but sometimes they
make trouble. | heard Of one of the lat
ter kind the other day. A woman brought
suit for divorce and alleged all sorts Of
improprieties against her husband. Shs
of course claimed to be pure and innocent
but she kept diary. A diary is of no
earthly use unless 1t is acurate and goes
into the details of life. Hers was acurate
and gave details. In an unfortunate hour
for the wife, the husband got possession
of the diary and it got into court After
she had told her story of spotless inno-
cence this little diary was trotted out and
suffice 1t to say it made sensation. The
suit for divorce was dropped so quick
that the court hardly knew where 1t went
to.

Two Ffends BrutalIy Outrage Young
Ladies I'm Rhode Island.
PROVIDENCE, R. l., April PA special to
the Star from Taunton, Mass, says: Word
was received at the central police station last
evening to look out for one Arturo Dubuque,
alias Archie Depray, wanted in Lonsdale, r.
l., for brutal rape. Captain Cash at once
started out and arrested his man in liquor
saloon and brought Dubuque to the station
house. Detective H. G. Pollard of Lonsdale,
who was sent after the man. was
informed of the capture and came
here on Friday morning, taking Dubuque
back with him. The detectives story
. of the affair for which Dubuque was arrest
ed as participant is substa atially as fol-
lows
On the night of April 10 Clara Curtis,
aged "a, and Elizabeth Martin, aged four
teen, attended gathering at Lincoln, r. l.,
and after the affair was over were
persuaded by Henry Fournier and
Dubuque, acquaintance, to allow them
to accompany them home in wagon
The party returned by circuitous route and
when they arrived at piece of woods the
young men made insulting proposals, which,
however, the girls repealed, and the men be-
came very much provoked. In the struggle
between the parties Dubuque is alleged
to have pulled the Martin girl out
of the carriage and dragged her
into the woods where after a
long struggle he succeeded in accomplishing
his ends, but not, it is said, before he had
used knife and cut the poor girl severely
He then conducted the girl back to the wagon
where almost death struggle was going on
between the Curtis girl and Fourier, which
was partially ended by her being also dragged
from the carriage to the ground, where the
outrage was committed only after she was
nearly dead from exhaustion. All night long
these wretches are said to have kept the
poor girls in the wagon with them
repeating the outrage and at g. o'clock in the
morning turned them adrift utterly worn ont
and ready to die from shame and pain. They
were under the care of a physician until a
few days ago, when they made a complaint
against the parties who had so brutally as
saulted them. Fourier is still at large but
no efforts will be spared to place him behind
the bars.

Conflicting Stories Told to Commits
sioner Shields.
New YORK, April 24.-The case of Captain
O'Brien of the steamer City of Mexico,
charged with carrying ammunition to the
Panama rebels, was before Commissioner
Shields to-day. O'Brien's story is that he
did not know the arms were for the rebels
He took two hundred passengers from Saw
milo to Rio Hachia who turned out to be
rebels and they seized some customs officers
who came aboard. Being unable to control
his unruly passengers he put back to Savini1-
II. His chief Officer Mccarthy told
different story and said O'Brien
aided the rebels in capturing the customs
officers by Turing them aboard by the use of
the American flag and that the officers were
given up at Savinillo to the rebels and prob
ably murdered. The owners of the vessel
testified that O'Brien was a reliable officer
and the whole thing comes out of McCarthy's
having spite against him. The case will
be resumed tomorrow. O'Brien was re-
leased on bail.
