TO COST S10O,OOO.

President Brainard of the Deep Sea Dredg- ing company, which last summer began the huge job of filling in for P. T. Barnum some forty acres of low lying land west side of Seaside Park in Bridgeport, is advancing ar engagements for pushing the work to compile ton the-coming summer. The apparatus used last year for taking up soil from the bottom of Black Rock harbor and forcing it by pumping process to the district under improvement was partial failure and after a nuMbsr of breakdowns and delays the com pany suspended operations. Mr. Brainard says that he has now arranged te put in an improved and much more effective plant, and that there is no question as to the ulti- mate success of the enterprise. Enough mud and sand are to be squirted over the territory to raise the surface about six feet above it's present level. The improvement will cost in the nai1hborhood of $1O0. GOO.

How a DyingChild Was Saved!

CICERO, HAMILTON Co.,, IND Sept, 1s. 1ss7- The following Is a true account of what your 6. s. S. has done for our little daughter, Hazel, now four years old. When 12 months old . lump appeared on her heel, which slowly grew . larger. The family physician thought 1t was caused by piece of broken glass or needle, but failed to bring anything to light. The child became feebler all the time, seeming to lose the use of her leg, and finally quit walk ing entirely. The middle finger and thumb of either hand became enlarged, the flesh be- coming hard. The hip joints became involv- ed, SO that when seventeen months old she could not stand, having lost the use of leg and arm. Partial curvature of the spine also followed The nervous system was wrecked, muscles contracted, and there was general wasting of flesh and muscle. At eighteen months of age she was placed under the treatment of a prominent physician of Bos- ton, Mass, but at the end of ten months she had declined to such degree that sho was in dying condition. This was In April, 1866. We took the child away not knowing what to do. In this dreadful dilemma we were over-persuaded by friends to try one bot tie" of SwIFTs SPECIFIC, which we did, and before 1t had all been taken we saw a change for the better in her symptoms. We kept it up, and have dore so to this day, and will keep it up, if the Lord wills. for many days to come, for H has brought our dying Hazel to life, to vigor, to strength and health again. The ashen hue of her cheeks has changed to Q rosy tint. She is able to walk anywhere, her languor and melancholy have passed away, and she is now blIthe cheerful, hap py romping child. Should you wish t9bin- crease your testimonials of proof of the virtue of s. S. S., names and what WIG have said Is but portion of what we owe to you, should you wish to use them.

THE OLDEST STAGE DRIVER.


 William Holmes, residing with his son in Stratford, is probably the oldest stage driver in New England. says the Stamford News. He was born in Falmouth, Me, in the au- tumn of 1797. At the age of sixteen he en- gaked as helper on the stage line between Randolph and Montpelier, Vt, remaining three years. In 1877 he took the route from Hartford to Coventry, Ct., but soon changed to Gordon's stage line between Stamford and White Plains. The only vehicle employed was high -springed carryall, into which the pas sengers climbed by a ladder. On one of the trips to White Plains he was thrown from the box while trying to make up lost time over jolting highway, and landing among the stones by the wsyside injured the fingers of his right hand, and never fully recovered the use of them. In 1891 he began driving from Stamford to Mamareneck, N. Y., four teen miles, one round trip daily. This was one of the sections of what was known as the New York and Boston United States mail route, and those connected with it were looked upon as important percentages. Mr. Holmes remained there many years, and his experiences until 1886 were varied In the latter part of that year he again became con- neotsd with the section of the route between Bridgeport and New Haven.

EMBLEMS OF LIBERTY

TO the Edtt0r OF The Trt6une
Sir: In reading my morning papers a few mornings
ago noticed an account OF the shooting OF an eagle
In the vicinity OF Hackensack, " j., and Il occurred
TO me that the destruction of these noble birds Is as
unnecessary as 1t IS cruel, as their number Is not
large enough to make them a to any particular
district Of this country The American eagle is our
symbol Of liberty As such 1t should be as sacred as
the cbu of India, froe to soar over this broad land
admired and guarded By every lover of liberty Why
should not Congress pass law furnishing with fine and
Imprisonment those who kill eagesl We adopted
the bird emblem. When oppression and mis-
rule call for expression he that all the
world hear and understand. Shall We permit
him be extcrminatedl Should not cultivate the
sentiment of John A. DIX and say: If any man
brings down the American eagle, shoot him on the
spOtnl
There is not enough expressed patriotism among the
people at large. True there IS a latent enthusiasm
in the breast Of every American which needs but a
cause to bring 1t into action. But would 1t not DO
we'll TO follow the example Of England regarding the
national flag and make It legal offence to use the
and Stripes for advertising purposes or to shoot
an eagle in the United States Territories? Respect
for these two symbols of liberty and
union cannot be too carefully or thor
oughly iDculcaed among the rising genera
ton, and this sentiment is fosered and built up,
does Il become strong bulwark around our national
interests keeping out the doctrines OF anarchy and
the various schemes by which men who care naught
for the good endcavor to advance their per
sonal interests. our country viii then become moro
than America for Americans ami for all who
love liberty, law and JUSTICE Yours truly, AMI

PLAIN AND PRACTICAL INFORMATION.
10 the Editor Of The Tribune.
SIR AS The New. York Herald is making much OF
our affairs, ard has already devoted large part Of
us ISSUE for three successive days to tho discussion
Oh one OF our circulars, It may perhaps be we'll to let
inc public know that the circular In question is a
'ery Old one. The substance OF IL and the list Of
names IL contains have been repeatedly published
curing the past year In newspapers In different parts
Oh the United States, and would seem to show great
want OF enterprise on the part Of The HERALD that
IL had not discovered this wonderful affair long ago.
Since the date Of that circular the number Of sub
scroers to our organization Of defenders has doubled
the recent additions being more particularly from the
Northwest and the Pacific Coast. At meeting held
some ton days ago In san Francisco for the purpose
VI completing the organization in California the
Der and character Of the gentlemen present Indicated
mat The interest In Protection is less in the
extreme wee: Of our country than It is in the east
Tho operations Of tho League during the last two
months In Oregon were at that time made known
Inc result has surprised the country; but the
by which that result was accomplished have not
been fully understood 1t only shows the importance of
tho wide dissemination Of plain practical information
concerning the operation and effect OF protective
tarh laws, and that when well understood the people
Oh this country, especially those engaged In produc
lion In all branches oil Industry can be relied upon to
sustain the protective policy and Its advocates BY
their votes. That there may be no misunderstood
ing 1t Is well to say distinctly here that the methods
OF the League by which they expect to influence
voters are purely educational consisting Of the dis
trbution OF tariff literature, public addresses and
wherever practicable public debates on the subject
OF Protection These arc the only methods proposed
will as in the case of Oregon, prove to be amply
sufficient. Very respectfully,
President Of the American Protective Tariff League.
