Catarrh.

The highest authorities, including eminent specialists, agree that in cases of nasal catarrh a suitable direct application is great ly superior to remedies taken into the stom- ach. Borazel is pronounced by many of oul own citizens, as well as by medical gentle men of la ge experience, the best application for the relief of nasal catarrh with which they are acquainted. It is absolutely harm less and is agreeable to use, which is more than can be said of some preparations.

BOB COOK ASSAULTED.


 The Famous Trainer of Yale's Boating Glasses and Active Sports-Probably Fatally Injured.
 PHILADELPHIA, Oct. 28.-Robert J. Cook, treasurer of the Press company, was struck 1 over the head with hatchet this morning and knocked senseless. The assailant was 8 powerful negro who acted as porter about the office. A quarrel precipitated the attack. After being taken to the Pennsylvania hospi- tai MT. Cook, who was in dazed condition, l refused to permit the physicians to perform an operation on his head. He could not be 1 made to realize the gravity of his condition. On leaving the hospital he went to Dr. J. W. White, who is personal l friend, and who on examining. the
 wound at once took Cook in a ! carriage back to the hospital. Here Profes- sor D. Hayes Agnew successfully trepanned | the skull. Late tonight Mr Cook was re- ! ported as resting comfortably, but his chances l of recovery are considered as slight. Nc | Pherson was given hearing tonight and | committed to fail without bail. Mir Cook was son of John B. and Matilda Cook,
 born March 21, 1949, at Cookstown, Fay | cite county, Pa. He was fitted for college at Andover, Mass, and New Haven. In
 the autumn of 1872 he went to England and l spent several months in the study and prac-
 tice of the English system of rowing. The
 results of this trip displayed at the Spring
 field regatta in 1873 when every race was won by the blue are too we'll known to re- quire particular mention. He graduated
 with the class of '76. He began to read law
 in Greensburg, Pa, in December, 1876,
 and went to Pittsburg in August, 1877, and entered the office of Judge Bailey. He was admitted to prae- tice at the Allegheny county bar
 Jan. 1st, 1879. On Feb. F, 1880, he fell and 1 dislocated his ankle joint and broke the fb- | ula, but after two months returned to the office. He married April .26, 1881, to Miss Annie Clyde Welles, at Alleghany City, Pa
 For some time he has had the management of thePress, after serving on several other | papers.

 WASHINGTON. Oct 28.-Third Assistant Postmaster General Hazen has issued supple mental instructions to postmasters in regard to the special delivery service.

In the amended instructions postal cards and sealed packages are included in matter that may be sent as frst-class mat. ter. Sunday is excluded from the special delivery days. Postmasters are to report monthly instead of weekly and are to make arrangements for special delivery where the business does not justify messengers, but for this service are not to pay more than allowed by law. The other changes are merely nomi- nal and with the exceptions noted the origi- nal circular is still in force.

Devils Lake inter-ocean. (Devils Lake, Ramsey Co., Dakota [N.D.]) 1884-1905, 1885-01-31

When, two years ago, the compul-
sorry educational law was passed BY
the French Legislature, the clause in
serted in the bill respecting children
who received elementary instruction in
their own homes raised a good deal of
p~rotestation. In virtue Of this clause
parents whose children attended no
school were to be examined annually,
in order that it might be ascertained
that they were not permitted to grow
up without the instruction suitable to
their years. Conservatives, and all
who disapproved of the ~"laicization,"
of schools, declared the Measure adopt
ed, which is applicable to all classes of
society, tc the rich parents as well as
to the workingman, to be arbitrary and
intrusive, and heads of families were
invited to refuse to comply with the
law. For a. time, however, it was not
enforced, but now a circular lust
issued by the Project of the Seine fixes
the date of the examination and the
mode Of procedure.

Fritz Gonnenwein, q German of un-

Fritz Gonnenwein, a German of un-
common proportions and great strength,
arrived in New York q few days ago.
Fritz modestly claims to have done
wonders in the wrestling line in Ger
many, and his design is to do the same
in this country. He is 80 years old and
weighs 263 pounds. Fritz says he was
brought up on a farm lei Stuttgart.
A few years ago, while in that city he
visited a circus, where several cham
pion athletes were on exhibition. These
athletes were offering large rewards as
an inducement to outsiders to come in
and triumph over them in the wrestling
ring. Fritz. entered the lists and
promptly laid all of the professionals
on their backs. The manager of the
circus at once engaged him to travel
with him as the champion of all his
champion wrestlers. At 4 recent trial
of strength iu Germany Fritz held out
with his right arm a one hundred pound
weight, and at the same time held out
with his left thumb a ninety pound
weight, on which he wrote his name
with a piece of chalk held between two
of his fingers. Fritz prefers to Wrestle
on the Swiss plan, each man having
two rings on his belt, either one or both
of which his opponent is at liberty to
seize-if he can. At the ordinary style
he has already broken the legs Of. sew
eral of his opponents. Fritz will study
the American style of wrestling before
he makes any challenges. In the mean.
time. be says that he will accept any
challenge

A ~Sabbatarian Hen.

Some months ago MI. George Cotton,
favorably known as a breeder of poul-
try of the highest grade, presented to
the young son of a friend a pair of white
Seabright chickens of rare beauty in
appearance. When taken to their new
home, neal the city boundary, one Of
the hens began to lay eggs. and has
continued to do so without any inter-
mission, except OF Sundays, up to the
present day. Every precaution and
test has been used to discover If the
aforesaid hen had in any way labored
on the Sabbath day. but among the ten
or twelve in the family it is the unani-
nous conviction that she observes the
Sabbath in every way, as a S%abbatarian
should. Her boy owner contends with
all seriousness that the hen. respects
the Sabbath. He watches the chicken.
house carefully. keeps it under look
and key, and finds an egg in the nest
daily except on Sunday. His wonder
is how MI. Cotton could have 80 trained
