The man in Middleburgh who
owns corner lot has very little
hope of ornamenting it wit II shrub
berry as long as that co operation nui-
sance known as the town COW is al
lowed to roam at large. They have
necks like giraffe and tongues as
long as a fence rail, and will reach
ciean across sixty foot lot and
pick the Spanish needles out from
under the bottom rail of the oppo-
site fence. The re is one advantage
with them. Th ey keep the grass
manured in front of the residences
which retains bright green color
the year round. Lets fence up the
borough and sell il fora cattle ranch!
One great secret of success in
business-the secret, i'll fact, of sue
cess on n large scale--is to conceive
of it as n matter of principle, not
as series of transactions. There
are great merchants as there are
statesmen, and there are small mer-
chants as there are small politicians
and the difference between the great
and small men is very much the
same in both professions. The
small politician works by the day,
and sees only the one opportunity
before him, the small merchant does
the same thing-he is looking for
the next dollar the great states
man, on the other hand, is master of
the situation because he under
stands the general principles which
control events this knowledge en-
ables him to deal with large ques-
tions and shape the future. The
great merchant does the same thing.
His business is not mere money
getting affair, not mere matter of
barter, but science and an art he
studies the general laws of trade,
watches the general condition of the
country, investigates present needs,
forsees future wants, and adapts his
business to the broad conditions of
his time and place. He puts as
much brains into his work as does
the statesman, and he ends by being,
not a money-getter, but a large
minded and capable man. An emf
nently successful business man of
the statesmanlike quality said the
other day that the more he under
stood of life the more clearly that
he saw it was all done on business
principles. BY which he meant, not
only that the universe stands for
one dollar, but that the universe is
governed by unvarying laws, that
promptness, exactness, thorough
ness and honesty are wrought in
every fiber. On these business prin-
ciples all life is conducted-if not by
men, at least by that power which
is behind man. 1t ought to be the
ambition of every young man to
treat his business from the point of
view of statesman, and not from
! that of a politician.

THE PARIS EXPOSITION
Is the Cause of Lively Debate In the
House of Commons.

n
House of Commons.
LONDON, May 2S-In the House of Com
mons tonight Mr.. Edmund Robertson.
member for Dundee, moved a reduction of
the Foreign Office vote for the purpose of
taking the judgment of the House
on the absence of Lord Lytton,
the British Ambassador at Paris,
on the occasion of the open
ing of the French Exhibition. Sir
James Ferguson, Under Foreign Secretary,
denied that Lord Lytton's absence was due
to a prearranged understanding between
European governments. 1t was the opinion
of the Government that the country. ought
not to have anything to do with the cele-
bration of a revolution regarding which
political parties in France remained bitterly
divided. conservative cheers. When
nation was unanimous in its rejoicings on the
centenary of a great historic event, there
could be no improperly in the Queens rep
resentative being present at the ceremonies
conmemorating suoh event. Thus. Lord
Beaconsfeld authorized the British Minister
at Washington to take part in the cere-
monies that attended the centenary OF Amer
ican independence The French celebration
was in no way analogous to that of the
United States. Furthermore, the absence
OF Lord Lytton had aroused no dlssatisfac-
tion in France.
Mr.. Gladstone acquitted the Government
of having acted in concert with other pow
ers in the matter, but he blamed the Minis
try for an error of judgment. He thought
Lord Lytton should have been present at
the opening of the exhibition. After fur
ther debate Mr.. Robertson's smotion was re-
iected bv a vote of 2S3 to 100.

MAYBRICK'S MURDER.
Some Very Strong Testimony Introduced
Against the Wife OF the Dead Man
She Had Any Quantity of Poi.
A. A nou

ing Letter.
ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DIsPATcH.1
LIVERPOOL, May 2s.-The inquest over
the body of Mr.. Maybrick, whose death is
supposed to have been caused BY poison ad-
ministered by his wife, was begun to-day
Michael Maybrick, brother of the deceased,
testified that he had visited his brother
during his illness, and had warned Mrs.
Maybrick that he suspected his
brother was receiving improper treatment.
Tho wife insisted upon her right to nurse
her husband. Witness thereupon sum-
mOned two doctors and a new nurse. He
also seized bottle containing brandy and
extract of meat. At later visit witness
found Mrs. Maybrick changing the con-
tents and labels of medicine bottles. He
demonstrated with her, and asked her how
she dare do such thing. She replied that
there was sediment in the bottles. Witness
again caused change of nurse to be made.
Notwithstanding his precautions, how
ever, his brother grew worse and died in
short time. He was delirious toward the
end. After his death the nurse gave wit
ness a parcel labelled "Arsenic; poison for
cats" 1t contained several bottles in which
was a white fluid, and from which the
labels had been erased. Witness placed
the bottles under seal and gave them to
the police. Alice Japp, nurse, who had
charge o. the Maybr children was next
examined. She produced a letter which was
addressed to a man named Briefly in Liver
pool, and which was given to witness to
post by Mrs. Maybrick. the prisoner
While on her way 10 do this witness dropped
the letter in the mud. The envelope was
soiled and witness opened the letter with
the intention of placing it in another
envelope.
In doing this she noticed that the letter
contained a number of endearing words.
The following sentences particularly at
tracted her attention: Dearest, my hus-
band is sick unto death. All depends upon
how long his strength can hold out. Dar-
ling, relieve your mind of all fear of discov-
cry now or in the future. In any case do
not leave England until 1 see you once
again"
Witness, instead of posting the letter,
gave it to Edwin Msybrick. After Mr..
Maybrick died, witness found in the linen
closet a chocolate box rolled up in sheet.
The box belonged to Mrs. Maybrick and
contained package of powder labelled
poison. Evidence was given to the effect
that Mrs. Mavb-ick bought a quantity of
arsenical fly papers and that she apparently
tampered with the patients food and medi-
cines. On one occasion the deceased re-
preached his wife, saying: "How could you
do it." Other witnesses testified to the
wiTe's hatred of the deceased and to her
threatening to give it to him hot for pub
licly upbraiding her.

Specialist in the Cure of Rupture and
Chronic Diseases-Omce mt Hotel Albe.
marie, Penn Avenue and Sixth Street,
Pitfsburg, Pa.
DIR. Woods has had large practice in
this branch of his profession without any
public advertising, but as many who might
have been useful and ornate members of
society, fill untimely graves, whom he might
have cured by seasonable treatment and
given them "length of days." he has long
felt it duty he owes to the afflicted to step
aside from the restrictions OF so-called med
ical etiquette and announce to the public
that he gives special attention to a much
neglected class of diseases.
Many years ago DR.. Woods went through
the prescribed course of medical study
with his fellow students, received his
diploma and took an equal stand in the
profession with the best Of his medical
brethren; yet he is fully convinced from
heightened observation, that being grad
uate merely gives one no assurance or
guarantee of a physician's skill. His sub
sequent success in practice is the proper
gauge by which to judge of his merits On
this severe and critical test DR.. Woods has
stood and the elevated position he occupies
in the medical profession makes it clear that
his success has been unusual. Profession
ally DIR. Woods relies on his own powers and
resources, and has achieved remarkable
degree of perfection in diagnosis, which en-
ables him, at 81 ance, to comprehend the
complications of obscure, new and anoma-
lous types of disc ase. He has given years
of devoted study to his practice and effected
such marve lous cures that the greatest as
tonishment has been caused Throughout the
country. His services, therefore, are not to
be measured by money; and those who are
afflicted arefalse to themselves not to avail
themselves to the full of his wonderfully
successful modern method of treatment.
DR.. Woods treatment being mild and
safe, his patients are in no case subjected to
painful or unpleasant operations, andin the
majority of instances they can pursue the
course of treatment directed at their homes
and without interruption to their usual voca-
tions. When possible the doctor prefers to
see his patients; but when this is impossible
his successful system of treatment by corre-
spondence enables the afflicted in all parts
of the world to avail themselves of the bene-
fit of his skill at very small cost. Send
cents in stamps for question list. Ali COM
munications sacredly confidential. No
charge for advice. Examinations are also
free to those who desire treatment.

CURED OF DYSPEPSIA AND
CATARRH.


Mrs. DIR. Crossley. one of the Consulting Physi-
clans at the Catarrh and Dyspepsia Institute, 323
Penn Avenue.
and now Miss NADIA FritSch wishes to tell what
has been done for her. Her stomach had
caused her untold suffering and pain for years,
her appetite was poor, and she experienced
such burning and distressed feeling in her
stomach. Although she tried to be careful of
what kinds of food she ate. yet nothing would
remain or her stomach for she wouM vomit W.
her food regularly within half an hour after
eating. The catarrhal secretion that formed
in her head caused much pain over her eyes,
and she was almost constantly trying to raise
the tough, tenacious mucus that kept dropping
from her head into her throat. Her bowels
were costive, and she was very nervous. She
began treatment with the physicians of the
Catarrh and Dyspepsia Institute at 323 Penn
avenue on March IL, and on May l5 declared
herself cured. She says: Il wish to state to
the public and my many friends that have
been cured of this dreadful disease, dyspepsia,
and gladly recommend these physicians to
others suffering from these diseases. here

Have you been watching the cures that the
physicians of the Catarrh and Dyspepsia Insti-
tute have been publishing for the last year?
Have you called TO satisfy yourself that they
have cured these people, whose testimonials
they have printed from day to day? If not, do
so; Investigate what they are capable of doing
for others, and then call on them and they will
tell you what they can do for you. Do you
know why they invite sharp criticism on their
work? It is because they know what disease
they can cure and have no other way to abso-
lutely prove their success than by referring you
to the hundreds whom they have cured. Re-
