Too much effort cannot be made to bring
to the attention of suffering womanhood the
great value of Lydia E. Pinkhams vegeta-
Bile Compound as remedy for the diseases
of women and perhaps nothing is more effec-
tual than the testimony of those who have
been cured by it. Such an one is the wife of
General Barringer of Winston, N e.. and
we quote from the Generals letter as follows !:
"Dear Mrs Pinkham: Please allow me to
add nv testimony to the most excellent medl-
cinal qualities of your Vegetable Compound.
Mrs. Barringer was treated for several years
for what the physicians called Leucorrhea and
Prolapsus Uter combined. l sent her to
Richmond, Va, where she remained for six
months under the treatment of an eminent
Physician without any permanent benefit.
She was induced to try your medicine and
after q reasonable time commenced to i'm
prove and is now able to attend to her BUSH
ness and considers herself fully relieved"
General Barringer is the proprietor of the
American Hotel, Winston,N. c.. and is wide
" known. marl7d&wlw

BARNuM's Success Due TO ADVERTISING IN
THE NEwsPAPERs-A Curious OLp CLOCK
LILLIAN RUssELL.-NEw Use FOR ELEc-
TRIO LIGHrs.

One of the causes of Bsrnum's success lies
in the fact that he understood and still un-
derstands the value of newspaper advertising
His expenses for show bills must be small,
compared to what he pays out for advertise
ments. Herein he shows his business shrewd-
ness; for venture to say that for every
patron attracted to his show by posters, sew
ersl thousand are attracted by his newspaper
advertisements. mention this feature of
the great showmsn's business methods be-
cause there seems to be at present a foolish
disposition on the part of people who have
something to bring before the public. be it q
new article of commerce, lecture or a con-
cert, to send around circulars. | often find
NV letter box full of such circulars, which I
promptly tear up without reading: and all
with whom have spoken on the subject tell
me they do the same. What a waste of money
that would have brought in substantial re-
turns, if spent in newspaper advertising
One OF the morals to be drawn from Bar
nuns extraordinary success is: If YOU
want to reach the public, advertise in the
newspapers.
In an old curiosity shop stumbled the
other day upon clock of considerable his
torical interest The case was made about
the last decade of the 18th century, by a
Swede named Moll, of timber cut from
tract of woodland which he afterwards con-
veyed to William Penn Moli sent the case
to some relatives in Holland, who had the
clock work put in and showed their apprecia-
ton of the gift by decorating it with the arms
and names of the six Indian chiefs from
whom Moll had acquired the woodland The
man who keeps the curiosity shop found the
clock in second hand store in Amsterdam
during one of the annual tonrs which he
makes 10 Holland and Germany, And so the
old clock. after ticking in Holland for about
two centuries. is ticking perhaps barely a
hundred miles from the spot where was cut
the timber of which its case was made some
time between 1890 and 100. If Moll has
any descendants in this country. here is a
chance tor them to acquire an article fash
Toned with his own hands Aside from the
value IT has as a curiosity, it is a handsome
clock and good time-keeper.

Nobody in Maine has yet received an
appointment from the President but many
are working and hoping to receive them.
Bion Bradbury has the editor of the Argus
and other gentlemen hard at work in
favor of his appointment as collector Of
Portland, and MIR Cleavcs is pulling the
wires for himself. assisted BY influential
friends for the same position, Mr.. Cush-
ing of Camden and Mr.. Rust of Che Belfast

that port, with the former ahead in the
race, it is thought. The effort of Charles

not mentioned in very encouraging terms
by Washington reporters. and the name OF
Bion Wilson appears rs n candidate In
this city, among our people, the man most
favorably mentioned tor the position is
j. Frank Pierce. the popular book seller
on Water street, who has every qualifca-
ton for a first class postmaster. His APP
pointment would be the strongest the
President could make Senator FRYE. it

that If he is nominated tor collector of
internal revenue at Boston he will not op-
pose his confirmation. II Higgins got a

The Philadelphians are iubilant over
the victory of Randall in regard to the
appointment of commissioner of internal
revenue. The Press SAYS: Mr.. Randall
single.handed has beaten Carlisle. Beck
Blackburn and the whole Kentucky crowd
with their allies. He has defeated Phil.
Thompson tor commissioner of internal
revenue, and secured the appointment of
Joseph $. Miller OF West Virginia. 1t is
the first blood under the new admnistra-
tion--in fact, il is n square knock-down-
and Mr.. Randall comes up smiling and
victorious, The result is all the more
signal because prodiguous effort was
made on behalf of Thompson. 1t is rare
that any candidate commands such pow
eriul array of influence, Thompson him
self had been one of the most active forces
in defeating Mr.. Randall for Speaker, and
in accomplishing the success of Mr..
Carlisle. and Mr.. Carlisle repaid the favor
by exerting all his power for his Kentucky
friend. Ii was a square issue. and Mr..
Randall now enjoys the sweet satisfaction
ofhaving practically evened the account
of two years ago. He ruled the House
with a rod Of iron at the last session. and
on this point, At least. he rules the admin
istration."

THE TELEPHONE QUESTION REVIVED
Possibility that the Exchange in this city
may be discontinued.


1t has been known by some few in this
city for some time that the New England
Telephone and Telegraph company was in
Il uuandary whether, in view of the many
obstacles which are encountered here, it
would not be better to discontinue the eX-
change in Burlington, and w. j. Denver,
assistant general manager, and General
Superintendent Hunt Of the northern di-
vision. of that corporation visited this
city yesterday to obtain data which would
enable the directors TO make Il final decis-
ion in the matter. Each of these gentle
men was interviewed by II represen
tative of the FREE PRESS and
both expressed great uncertainty in
relation to the continuance of the
exchange here. Superintcn. lent Hunt in
reply to II question said Eyes, we have
come up here to investigate the question
whether to pull out of tins place or not.
Several men ON Church street have fought
us continually, not only during the past
season, but also ever since we came here :;
and they still continue To place every pos
Sible obstacle in our way. There Is very
Httle money III the business here 1T best,
and with these difficulties in relation to
damages continually arising 1t must he Il
losing business. There is certainly no
money in the lines running out from this
city, and 1t is 50 far from any other eN-
change of amy size that it makes the
matter still worse. Rutland is the near

there are Il number OF business men here
who want the telephone line Kept mp, but
