On account of the storm Monday, the mail from Navajo was behind time, not arriving until after eleven o'clock, and the mail was not distributed until Tues day morning. This is somewhat vexa- tious. Very often business letters de- mand immediate answers, and on occa- sions of this kind, it causes a delay of twenty-four hours.

The Chamber of Torture

Is the apartment 10 which the unhappy sufferer from inflammatory rheumatism is confined. If, ere the crisis of pain is reached, that fine preventive, Hostet- ter's Stomach Bitter, is used by persons of rheumatic tendency, much unneces- sary suffering IS avoided. Nerv nes, anodynes and sedatives, while having none but specific effect, are yet very desirable at times. Yet can they pro- duce no lasting effect upon rheumatism, because they have no power to eliminate from the blood the rheumatic virus. Hostetter's Stomach Bitters does this, and checks at the outseta disease winch if allowed to gain headway, it is next to impossible to dislodge or to do moro than relieve Rheumatism, it should be re- membered, is disease with fatal ten dency from its proneness to attack the heart. A resort to the Bitters should, therefore. be prompt. Dyspepsia, kid ney complaint, malaria and nervousness are relieved by it.

tending an invitation to foreigners TO visit

the fact that tbs United States Of
America is the greatest country on
earth, peopled with sixty million OF the
most civilized and enterprising people on
the globe; that the New York Central
Railroad Is the greatest railroad on
earth-the only four-track road IA the
world: that it started from the largest city
on the continent, passed through the rich
est and most prosperous region, touching
the largest cities In the interior; IS the
great trunk line and direct route to that
great cataract, Niagara Falls, and that In
and riches of America in less time, with
more safety and under more luxurious con-
ditions than any other route. There
is much in the above not only for
foreigners. who want to see this country
under favorable conditions, but for our own

cheering triumphs. As Is well known 1t

STATIONS of the unreliability of expert
testimony that ever came under my
notice was made about three months
ago.
"a manufacturer of jewelry. well
known to the trade, sold to lady GUS
toner a jewel supposed to be sap
phire, for $3.50. 1t was arranged that he
should mount it in gold ring with
other stones for an additional sum of
1884, and week later the article was
delivered and paid for. Soon afterward
the lady visited Paris. where she was
informed by a jeweler that the sup
posed sapphire was not a genuine
stone, but was a 'doublet,' and was of
comparatively small value.
This naturally caused the lady
much modification. and a friend who
was coming to America consented to
take the ring to the manufacturer who
sold it and have an explanation. This
programme was carried out and the
ring was examined by the jeweler and
his brother. The latter Immediately
pronounced it doubtlet- His convic-
ton on this point was so strong that
even the sellers belief that it was a
genuine sapphire was shaken.
Before consenting to take it back
or to refund the money the dealer saiG
he wished to see the importer from
whom he had purchased it. There
was a possibility, he added, that the
importer had unwittingly given it to
him as a real stone. or the stone might
have been changed while in the hands
of another jeweler for repairs. There
was some evidence showing that the
gold work in the setting of the blue
stone was not the style of work of the
man who set the original.
Several well-known jewellers who
were shown the stone stated that it
was not genuine sapphire, and The
man who had mounted it said it was
not the one he had fitted into the ring.
1T was not until after this array of
testimony had been read that the
dealers counsel requested the court to
give its permission to have the stone
removed from the ring and tested, for
it had occurred to him at the last mo-
ment that it might be q genuine sap
phire after all.
Accordingly the counsel in the
case. accompanied by the referee,
went to disinterested setter and had
the stone removed from the ring. II
was submitted to examination and test
by lapidary and a number of expert
jewelers.. as well as by one of the
original expert witnesses for the
plaintiff. They pronounced the stone
genuine sapphire.
Upon the unexpected discovery
counsel for plaintiff applied for leave
to discontinue the case without costs.
The court promptly denied the action
and the defendant was allowed all the
costs incurred the purchaser in the
case, which considerably exceeded
$3.50. the original price of the stone.r
