In the early part of last year had
a violent attack Of rheumatism, from
which l was confined to my bed for
over three months, and at times was
unable to turn myself in bed, or even
raise the cover. A nurse had to be in
constant attendance day and night.
l was so feeble that what little nour-
ishment l took had to be given HE
with spoon. l was in constant
agony, and sleep was entirely out of
the question except when was under
the influence of opiates.
After calling in the best local ply
sicians, and trying all other medicines
without receiving any benefit, l was
induced by friends to try Swift's
Specific Is. S. s.. l discontinued all
other medicines, and took a course of
s. s. S.-thirteen small bottles
which effected a complete and per-
manent cure.

THE NE . LIoUoR Law.
What The state Attorney Remarked
In Reg ard 10 it.

Just before Friday mornings session Of
city court number Of officials, lawyers
and reporters were gathered in the office
OF the clerk of the municipal court. A
saloon-keeper came into the room and
asked whether under the new liquor en-
actment which comes in force next
month he is entitled to put up in his
doorway one OF those swinging screens.
The species Of doorway referred to is
the well. known one OF Venetian blind
construction with wide apertures above
and below, 80 that the bodies of those
within are hidden. There was a division
OF opinion as to whether this would be O
violation Of law or not One official
stated emphnticaily that it would not.
He was as emphatioally disputed by
others, who oontended that such screen
door would be very obvious violation
Of the intent Of the new enactment.
Another lawyer remarked "a mans
house la his castle, and any man has q
right to place division within his
saloon. For instance he can place one,
say within SIX feet of the doorway
This opinion was as hotly denounced aa
an intraction of the Jaw, whose intent is
that there shall be no obstruction TO q
view Of those within the saloon.
Attorney general Biggs was seen on
Friday morning by GAZETTE reporter.
He had no copy OF the new enactment at
his Office. He said, however, that the
law Is q new one snd kind of expert
ment. he had no doubt but that ques-
tions would arise in regard to its mean
ing.
Upon the point raised by the official
referred to that mans house is his
castle and that therefore saloon keeper
has the right to erect such construction
as he pleases within his own doorway.
Mr.. Biggs clearly indicated that saloon
Is public house for which there is a
license granted. The right to sell there
is personal privilege granted by the
court upon the good character and
Recommendation by the persons who sign
his application. Being privilege granted
by this State, the State OF course reserves
the right to dictate how the business
shall be conduotd in such public house.
The same conditions do not apply there
as would nffect private residence. The
law can touch the public house In a way
that when attempted in regard to pri-
vate residence might be entirely uncon-
stitutionsl.
Mr.. Biggs' advice to saloon keepers is
to obey the law. But of course, II they
wish to experiment with 1t they take their
chances and must abide by the conse.
quenpes.

Acres OF RuunWay LOGS.

A special from Ohestertown, Md, says:
A visit to Rock Hall, on the Chesapeake
bay, reveals rare sight. The drift logs
from the susquehanna, estimated at
1870, 600 have been "hoomed" by number
of men, and company formed, with A.
p Sharp, upon whose shore the logs are
lodged, as president The secretary OF
the Drift Logs and Lumber Company has
visited the spot, and guaranteed the com.
pany pay for their trouble. 1t has been
proposed that mill be erected at Rock
Hall for the purpose of saving up the
vast fields Of logs which have been col.
leoted in the hollows and streams at and
near that place, and with that object in
view agents Of Willinmsport and other
lumbermen have been prospecting, and
offered those holding the logs at those
points to pay them only is cents per log,
instead OF 25 cents, as allowed by Law, the
reduction to be made in confederation Of
an obligation entered into by the lumber
men to erect sRw.m:lls at Rock Hall and
furnish the present holders of the large
booms employment for two years. Some
are opposed to such compromise, while
others are willing to hold the proposition
under consideration. One lumberman
has made a calculation that it would
take seven saw-mills two years, employ
ing 10 hands, to cut the stock OF lumber
on Kent aud Queen Anne's shores. The
amount which each man would receive
would reach probably S400 or $500.
