am first cousin of the late Ex- Governor Al

clerk on different railroads since 1858. For
ten years have been sufferer from cancer
on my face which grew worse until the dis
charge Of matter became profuse and very Of
fensive. became thoroughly disguised with
blood PURIFIERS and pronounced them humbugs,
as had tried many without relief.
Finally was induced to use 3. B. B., which
was about the LIST of February, and continued
its use until the latter part of April The Of
fensive discharge decreased at once, and the
hardness around the cancer disappeared. 1t
improved my g, neral health and l rapidly
gained flesh and strength. The discharge
gradually decreased and the cancer became
less and less in size until nothing remains ex-
cept a scar to tell the tale of once dangerous
cancer. All who have seen me since have
commenced the use of B. B. B. bear testimony
ofmy great improvement, and the scar my
face shows that it cured the cancer. 1 find
that B. B. B. comes squarely up to what it is
recommended, and cannot say tso much in
praise of this wonderful medicine. I have
tried them all, but BIB. B. stands ct the top
as blood purifyer.

Several physicians have pronounced my dis

summer used eighteen bottles OF a largely

more good than much water.

am proud to say that have received greater
benefit from them than from the eighteen,
and am rapidly recovering There is
no question about the superiority of B. B. B.

A HORROR AvERTED.
Ths Awakening Of a Woman Who Wal
Clothed for Her shroud.
iwellsville (O.) Special.

IWeiisViie to.) Specihi'l
A remarkable instance of suspended ami
nation, with q narrow escape from horri-
Bile death, occurred q few days ago at
Jethro, a hamlet in the eastern outskirts
of this place. Two weeks ago a Mrs.
Raymond, Of that place, while visiting
her daughter in Allegheny City, was
stricken with what was supposed to be
paralysis. After a week of intense suf-
fering she improved sufficiently to allow
of her removal to her home at Jethro.
Tie day after arriving she was taken with
a relapse and continued TO grow worse
until Wednesday, when she died, as was
supposed, the doctors having pro-
nounced life extinct. Friends and
relatives Of the family were noti-
fed by telegraph Of her demise. The serv-
ices Of an undertaken were secured, the
body was prepared for burial, wrapped in
a shroud and placed in the parlor to await
the arrival of the coffin.
A friend of the woman who had arrived
from a distance, had occasion to enter the
room where Mrs. Raymond had been laid
out and, approaching the body, thought
she discovered traces of an iation in the
lifeless form. The astonished and over
joyed woman made a more critical exami-
nation and discovered u~nmistakable evil
dences of vitality. The muscles of the face
and eyelids occasionally twitched, the
eyes partially opened and faint respiration
was noticed. The woman instantly gave
the alarm and the room was soon filed
with incredulous friends, who discovered
the same indications of returning life.
Physicians were at once summoned and
every known restorative applied in the
hope of saving her life.
After three hours of vigorous and unre-
hitting att~ention-hours that seemed in
terminably long to the famiiy-the l~ifeless
form vas restored to consciousness. She
slowly and languidly opened her eyes in
perfect a%mazement, curiously surveyed
her surroundings, and in a few minutes
feebly asked in a scarcely audible voice
the cause for the unusual commotion, and
inquired how she came in possession Of
the unique garb in which she was clothed.
The situation was explained to her, when
she replied that while in her comatose
state she imagined that she had fallen into
a deep, refreshing sleep.
Mrs. Raymond is improving slowly, with
fair chances for recovery. Her escape
from the terrible fate Of heing buried alive
was very narrow. She had been in a state
of insensibility for two days, the body was
cold and clammy, and respiration had to
all appearances ceased entirely. In q few
hours more the woman would undoubtedly
have been buried.

SPRING FASHIONS.
Som Very Neat Changes In House and
Street Toilette and Wraps.

Some Very Neat Chsugss In House and
Street Toilette and Wraps.
A number Of exceedingly pretty
changes are shown In the new suits
and wraps for early spring wear. The
combinations-plush and silk, velvet
with wool and bengaline with failla-
are remarkably attractive. These new
departures in dress mixtures can not
fail to please. Possibly the scarlet suits
may not find favor in America with
ladies of refined taste; this innovation
in the spring modes will undoubtedly
have a short reign. Scarlet is a color
only becoming to youth. A few touch
es of scarlet here and there artistically
disposed show to good advantage
when worn by a lady of forty, ''well
preserved" complexion fair and eyes
bright. Fashion this season gives con.
siderable prominence to red dresses
and wraps, and this shade also figures
~conspicuously in millinery.
A rich dress, in fact an entire toilet,
of scarlet, recently imported for a
young heress of Brooklyn, gives a pref.
ty fair idea Of the effect that a profu-
sion of this bright hue produces in
dress. This rich and really handsome
toilet has the skirt arranged in scarlet
plush, with wide box plaits at the back;
the front is perfectly plain, and over
this falls in graceful lines a rich drap-
cry of red silk; the basque has double
points in front; the back is cut with
a short postillion; the side-plaited pam
els are of faille and plush. The wrap
is scarlet cloth, double-breasted, with
plated front and back, and closed with
large carved wooden buttons. A suit OF
plush and Irish poplin, designed for
spring wear, shows to advantage the
new style, with jacket having a Prin-
cesse back, with under-plaits in the
center and at each side form seam. A
wool lace tlounce thirty-six inches deep
adorns the skirt, which is of poplin:
the panels and basque are of plush OF
a bronze shade. A handsome suit of
Paris manufacture has the skirt dis
posed in bronze brown camel's hair
cloth and Lyons velvet of the same
shade. The basque is of velvet and the
vest is of faille-a pretty and attract
i've model, especially for a small lady.
A becoming wrap is q very desirable
garment, and adds much to the beauty
and attractiveness of a fashionable
dress and bonnet. The new modes for
wraps are very like those in vogue at
the present time, and yet there are a
few decided innovations in the manner
of modelling; there are the extremes,
too; these modes are always notice
able for their pronounced effects. Very
little trimming will be seen on the new
wraps. This change is all very well
for the wraps made of rich material.
Less expensive goods cal be enriched
with pretty garnitures with excellent
effect. Jackets will be more worn than
any other style of independent gar
ment. The leading design is double
breasted. with snugly.ftting back,
while the fronts are rather loose.
Large wood buttons close the front.
Many of these wooden buttons are
beautifully carved in various artistic
and quaint designs.--M Y. Herald.

They began work at half-past seven
o'clock; the shop usually closed at
seven in the evening, but in the busy

were not permitted to sit down while

to three dollars per week. They were
obliged to dress neatly and well. How
to make their income this outlay
was the problem set before them and
their two hundred companions. Some
of these young girls, weak in principle
and in body, grew tired OF coming
back every night, the year round, from
a long days work, to their lonely and
wretched garnet rooms, and were
tempted into theft and other ways OF
