Mrs. Cleveland Loves Poodles.

When the steamer Westernland arrived
in New York the other day it was evident
to those around that something unusual
was on board. The captain seemed wor-
ried and the first officers usually rudy
face was pale. They watched with anx-
iety the movements of two sailors who
were carrying a large wicker basket down
the gang-plank. The captain lifted the I'D
and out jumped black French poodle,
with fierce looking whiskers and beauti-
full tuft on the end of his tail.
The poodle was present to Mrs. Cleve-
land from Mr.. Won Derbock agent of the
Red Star line, and the captain had received
special instructions to look out for its safe
transportation, along with that OF a hun
dred-year-old Dutch clock that had been
sent as present to President Cleveland;
Mrs. Cleveland, then Miss Folsom, had
seen the dog in Antwerp and had made
friends with it,. Mr.: Won Derbock deter
mined that it should be hers. He didn't
think il right to neglect her husband, and
sent along the Dutch clock.

TIMELY TOPICS.

In his speech at the semi centennial
celebration, Hon. w L. Weber utter
ed sound gospel when he said; Men
were not created equal in capacity to
accomplish all things in the world.
Labor was necessary. but it should have
intelligent direction. Every laborer
was entitled to full compensation for
all his labor produced by physical
means and enough more to pay him for
his mental efforts. Great wealth was
not to be desired. The Philosopher eX-
pressed it rightly when he wished
for neither riches nor poverty;
wise legislation should be made in this
direction. Farmers, better than any
other class, were able to consider these
questions and suggest methods of
legislation. The speculative mania
which induces so many to resort to the
bucket shops of the cities in hopes of
making speedy fortunes should be re-
strained. 1t was just as much
gambling TO bet on the turn of the
market as to cards or dice, only in the
former case there was less Oh nee of
the speculator. No man was well
educated who could not earn his own
living Those who were complaining
of their inability to obtain employment
overlooked the opportunities to farm
Nature was kind, and even the less in
telligent men could obtain q. living
from land. Those who complain of the
dizziness of the labor market could gain
an independent livelihood on the farm
In no other state than Michigan are
there better opportunities for men TO
get such a Ii elihood. In such a coun.
try as this, where all men are civilly
equal, there should be no such thing as
division Into classes. There should
not be one class organized as labor
ing class and another as an employing
class. Education and knowledge aud
respect of the law should e spread
among 'the people On the present
general on depended the future of the
country.

the key hole of her room so that she could
not enter her abode. She tackled the CEN

of complications of Richmond with the

Strong's death was instantaneous, two
shots taking effect, one In the breast and

Thus catarrh may affect the head, throat,
stomach, bowels, or any part Of the body
where the mucous membrane Is found. But
catarrh Of the head Is by far the most common,
coming on so gradually that often rs pres
ence Is not suspected till II has obtained a
nrm hold on its victim. 1t Is caused by a
cold, or succession Of colds, combined with
Impure Blood.
When firmly established the disease Ia ex-
ceedlngy disagreeable, causing flow from the
nose, dryncss of the throat, headache, loss of
appetite, roaring and buzzing noises In the
ears, etc. In Hoods Sarsaparilla may be
found prompt and permanent cure for
catarrh 1t purifes and enriches the blood,
soOthes and rebuilds the diseased membrane,
and thus soon cures the disease. At the same
time II refreshes and tones the whole system.

medicine entities 1t to your confidence. Give

Obituary..

Died in Vershire. Oct. 30th. Mrs. j.
H. Gilman, in the 59th year of her age.
Mrs. Gilman was native Of Cor
inth, and was the daughter of Richard
and Dolly Robe. In 1852 she was
married to j. H. Gilman. The first
years of their married life were spent
in Corinth; subsequently they moved
to Bradford, and about ten years ago
came to Vershire, where they have
lived since, with the exception of an
absence of year in Boston.
Her death was caused by fall from
the cellar. stairs, which occurred Oct.
18th. 1t was thought at first that her
injuries would prove fatal, but in a
day or two she rallied considerably,
and for several days her ultimate re-
cOvery seemed to be assured. In about
week, however, she grew worse, in
flammation of the brain set in, and on
the morning of Oct. 30th, she expired.
Mrs. Gilman was woman of excel
lent character, dutiful wife, a kind
and faithful daughter, a devoted and
affectionate mother, and her loss will
be keenly felt in the family circle. Her
services were always at the disposal of
the sick and suffering in the commune
ty, and many remember with gratitude
her kindly ministratiOns. In social
life she was respected and beloved.
Although, for reasons satisfactory to
herself, she had not availed herself of
the privilege of making public pro-
fession of her religious faith, she was
christian believer, and proved the
genuineness and reality of her faith by
her fidelity in the various relations of
life, and particularly by her observance
of the Sabbath, close attention to the
preaching of the Word, regularity of
attendance upon public worship, and
her interest in the prosperity of the
church of her choice.
