Father, Mother, and Three Sisters Dead.

Mr. David Claypool, formerly Sergeant
at-Arms ofthe New Jersey Senate, and now
Notary Public at Cedarville, Cumberland
Co., N. j., makes the following startling
statement: "My father, mother, and three
sisters all died with consumption, and my
lungs were so weak | raised blood. Nobody
thought l could live. My work ship
smithing)was very straining on me with my
weak constitution, and was rapidly going
to the grave. While in this condition l
commenced using Mishler's Herb Ritters,
and it saved my life. Because it was so
difficult to get it in this little place, and ]
had improved so much, ! stopped taking it
for time, and the result is that l have
commenced going rapidly down hill again.
Somehow, Mishlers Herb Bitters gives
appetite and strengthens and builds me up
as nothing else does, and l must have
dozen bottles at once. Use this commu-
nication as you please, and if any one wants
to be convinced of its truth, let them write
me and / will make affidavit to it, for i
owe my life to Mshlers Herb Bitters."
The secret of the almost invariablc relief
and cure of consumption, dyscntery, diar-
rhpa, dyspepsia, indigestion, kidney and
liver complaints, when Mishler's Herb
Bitters is used, is that it contains simple,
harmless, ana yet powerful ingredients,
that act on the blood, kidneys, and liver,
and through them strengthens and inyigor-
ates the whole system. Purely vegetable
in its composition; prepared by regular
physician; standard medicinal prepare
ton; endorsed by physicians and drug
gists. These are four strong points in favor
Of Misher's Herb Bitters. Mishler's Herb
Bitters is sold by all druggists. Price 800
per large bottle. 6 bottles for $500.
Ask your druggist for MIsHLFR's HFRB BITTFRs
II he does not keep it, DO not take anything else but

woman, yet Thomas Carol, living on Sweet
street. in the Highland district, WINS shown

He was arrested last Sunday

testified that Saturday night about II 80.
while DOING on a lounge in Carols rooms,
she felt pressure upon her body and ascer-
tanned that Mrs Carol had laid down, her
body partly resting upon her. Everything at
tho time was very quiet. She was doing for
some time after discovering this presence OF
Mrs. Carol, when she was awaked by a
blow upon one of her eyes She got up and
told Carol, who was standing near by,
that he had made q mistake; that she wa
not his wife. Carol then called to
his wife to get up and get his sup
per. Receiving no answer, he placed his
hand around his wife's throat and raised
her up a !! ainst the wall at the back Of the
lounge. at the same time shaking her and
insisting that she get his supper. An autopsy
revealed the fact that Carols wife was
dead from heart disease when he assaulted

THE sale of an open faced gold watch
once belonging to Major Andre and
marked John Andre, 1774." "tor the
sum of $500, shows with what interest
that romantic British spy is still regard
ed. Certain events in Andres life keep
alive this interest He was atlianced 10
Miss Honora Sneyd when he left Eng
Ian in 171l to serve as an officer in a
regiment in America. He was then TWEEN
ty years of age. His conduct as sol~
der gained him rapid promotion on the
staff of Sir Henry Clinton, who in 1880,
raised him to the rank of Major and Ads
jutant>Gencral of his forces. 1t was
while he WAS occupying this position he
was sent by Clinton to negotiate with
Benedict Arnold for the surrender OF
West Point. Andre exCelcd in music
and drawing and among his other ac-
complishmcnt9 possessed considerable
poetical talent. He retained portrait Of
his first love, Miss Synod in his mouth
when he was stripped Of everything at
the time of his capture. One of his last
letters was to this lady, who had died
without her lovers knowledge some time
before. These and other circumstances
caused the unhappy fate of Andre to
arouse universal sympathy at the time of
his execution. The whole British army
went into mourning for him. In 1921
the British Government removed his
remains from the banks of the Hudson
to Westminster Abbey, where mural
monument was erected to his memory.
1t is one of the noted monuments of the
Abbey and is much inquired for by visi

CHICAGO, Nov. 23.-Mr Frederick w
Bipper, whose wife was drowned in ths
lake at the foot of Oak street. Thursday
evening, says he now has no suspicious that
she met her death by foul play. He has
found her watch aud chain in her dressing
case at home. Mrs. Bipper, he says,
seemed to have mania for suicide, and
had often proposed that they end their
lives together Within the last month she
had talked freely on the subject. One
of her nearest relatives committed sui
eide.
The further Investigations of the Chicago
avenue police confirm the suicide theory.
The two mysterious men who were seen
driving from the lake shore when the
woman was screaming for help, have been
located In the persons of Mr.. Tobias All

Engineers Making Love.

Nearly every engineer on the New
York and New England railroad has a
sweetheart or wife in New Brighton
Conn. Every train would whistle salute
to some fair dame, and the din grew SO
fearfully ear splitting that the authorities
have had it stopped.
It's noon when Thirty-dve is due.
An she comes on time like flash Of light,
An you hear her whistle, Too-too-tooi'
Long fore the pilot swings in sight.
Bill Madden's drvn' her in today,

She hears her lover calm her name

Boston express runs East, clear through

With the soitest whistle that ever blew.

THE trouble with newspapers generally
is that they are too difTuse, There are
few Of them that would not be benefited,
in cant phrase, by judicious boiling
virus of knowledge, at least the attend
ance of an idea is necdful; a deluge Of
words weakens the effect. Life is too
short to spend it mainly in meandering
through columns of commonplace. The
attempt even to digest such rations is
enough to create mental dyspepsia. The
necessity as well AS the characteristic of

THE MUGWUMPS.

A bird of gorgeous plumagc is the pea,
cock, and very impressive when it struts
around in the full pride of its fuss and
feathers, but as songster it is not a sue
cess and the smallest rooster in the barn
yard can whip it IN fair tusse. The
professional mugwump is bird of the
same kind. gaudy and pretentious, but of
irritating voice and swagger. A week
ago he undertook to boss the whole po-
litical aviary and the floor was wiped
, with him. Now that he is down and be-
raggled, he is heoted and buffeted and
peckcd at from all Sides The democrats,
whom he undertook to discipline, dcride
him, while the republicans. whom he I'M
dertook to aid, condemn him and sneer at
him as q source of weakness rather than
of strength. He has been tried and found
wanting.
Last year the mugwump papers per-
ceived a strong current of independent
sentiment and sympathy setting towards
Cleveland. They fell in with it and at
once concluded that they had originated
it and could direct it whittier they wiled
They made themselves in many ways so
offensive and bossy as to ALLEVIATE more
votes than they ever could attract. De-
spite them, rather than because Of them,
Cleveland was elected, whereupon they
instantly and complacently declared, We
did it, We are the balance of power and
we propose to run this administration -
Pulled up with sense of their own SUI
periority and importance, thay set out
out this year to dominate the democratic
party in New York state and to dictate
who should he its nominees. But the
democratic party was in no Mood to
allow very small stump of
tail TO wag very large and
healthy dog; so it simply ignored the mug
wump utimatum. The result is plain to
ever ,body. The holer-than>thou faction
helped Mr.. Hill by its measureless Wifi l.
cation of him, which aroused the democ>
racy throughout the state. At the same
time it injured Mr.. Davenport by its illog-
ical and idioiic assertions that a vote f n
