come to stay, and proposes to fight
ii out on the line of giving the very
best obtainable at the most reasonable
prices. The only way to keep a
healthy competition in this or any
other town, is by less wishing of sue
cess and instead to give your patron
age and thus make success possible.
1t takes money to carry on business,
and the peoples patronage is peces-
sary to taat end. The management
is not here for "his health" but, by
hard work and study of the pep.

The Ruined Waterway.

The Chesapeake and Ohio canal, in
the opinion of many who have seen
it since the waters have subsidized, is
ruined almost beyond redemption.
From Harper's Ferry to Sandy Hook
nearly the entire tOWpath is washed
out TO a level with the bed of the
river. Little more can be seen than
a long ridge of scattered and broken
rock. From Superintendent Biser it
is learned that two Lighthouses are
gone at Great Falls. and that there
are three breaks on Cabin level, and
three breaks on Log Wall level. Two
locks are gone at Six Locks. The
culvert on Cabin John level is gone.
and there is a break on the two mile
level above the falls. The outlet
lock below Harper's Ferry is almost
entirely gone, and the towpath in
many places is in decidedly worse
condition than ever before. The
canal pay boat is safely stuck in the
mud just opposite the railroad sta
ton house at the Washington june
ton. A full report of the extent of
the damage done on the canal will
probably be made by the several
superintendentsi in few days.-Cuna.

The National Garment Cutter.

In these days of invention. when
every person who conceiyes device,
whether good, bad or Indifferent,
Immediately secures patent there
on and commences operation. so
many prove worthless that people
have come to regard a man with a
patent right or an agent, with sus-
picion. But there are some notable
exceptions, and the most notable
among them is the National Garment
Cutter. 1t is device which COM
bines simplicity, utility and effective
ness, and if necessity is the mother
of invention, its maternity is unques-
tionable.
1t consists ola twenty-eight graded
measure, tape line. a curved piece,
and a book of forms. 10 cut pattern
the bust measure is first taken, and a
measure which corresponds with it
in number is attached to the square.
The measure is divided into parts
and fractions thereof, which are
plainly stamped on its face. The
garment desired is selected from the
book. 1t is in outline, with figures
corresponding to those en- the meas
ure. The operator simply squares
the paper from which the pattern is
to be cut. and marks his measure
ments thereon, and in few moments
a perfect pattern is produced. 1t is
merely simplification of the scien.
tific methods employed by cutters
and dress. makers, and by its use any
person can produce stylish, perfect
garment. There is no reason why
anyone should have poor fitting gar
ments when its merits become gen.

A HUSBAND Returns anu rlnos MS
wife the Widow Of Another Man
From the Sep York Sun.
ROCHESTER, Nov. 21.-There was brought
.o LIGHT here to-day, through the return of
a man who has been absent for thirteen
vasrs. an Enoch Arden case with several
carnations. In July. 1888, Otis n. Wilcox,
. csnitalist, raputed to be worth 800, 900,
and supposed widower, died, leaving the
,,ost of his property to his son, Frederick
Wilcox. In August, 1884, a suit was
nerun against Wilcox by Mrs. Nellie
Rlockford. a handsome aud stylish
-Eiiow of IS years, living on East avenue,
COR her dover right in the estate. Mrs.
RIackford asserted that she was the wife Of
wilcox, and that she had been secretly
,nqrried to HIM in 1881, in Montreal, on
hoard a steamer lying at the dock. Subse-
ouan1 testimony went to show that the
ddnlv Titnesse s to the ceremony were the
snGineer and steward of the steamer.
Wing Wilcox fought the claim, and a
lagal battle was carried on in several
conrts. in which seven of the leading law
vers of the city were employed on both
SIDES. The suit was begun in the special
term of the supreme court, and finally
snded in a compromise, by which Mrs.
Rlackford, or Wilcox, received $50, 900. In
tha course OF Ule Irlal evidence was given
n show that Blackford, her first husband,
had gone west in 1876, and had died there.
Rlackford left without warning any one.
and inst after his departure sent letter to
Nj, wife, IN which he said:
by the time this reaches you our rela-
tions will have materially changed. have
few things to ssy by way of advice
First. do not let this lie around where 9TH
ers may see IL. Second, make your widow
hood appear to be accidental, as you know
am in the habit of using choral. No one
will know otherwise.
The letter closes with some advice as to
caring for their two children.
This morning a small, thin-faced man
with black eyes, black hair, and black mus
tache, appeared at Mrs. Wixcox'S house. 1t
was tae husband, who has neither been seen
ror heard of since 1876, and who was sup
posed to have committed suicide The few
who recognized him were nonplussed,
AID their astonlshment increased when
be refused to say word as to his where
atouts or life while absent. His wife nearly
went into Mysteries, but afterward re-
ceived him affectionately, and to all appear
ances the couple are reunited, although she
has married ard buried one husband during
i his absence. The lawyers employed in the
case when the suit was brought against
young Wilcox are in a quandary over its
Legal aspects. Mrs. Blackboard, as she must
now be called, is gray-haired woman, but
still well preserved. Blackford would not
say whether he will remain in Rochester.
