STILL ANOTHER.
The Long Series Of Local Test Cases
Remains Unbroken.
SOME VERY PLAIN FACTS.

For many reasons it was a notable inter-
view that the writer had with Mr.. Joseph
Marsh, residing at 303 Renfrew street. In
the first place Mr.. Marsh is well known and
very popular smong the citizens of the East
End. and his story will be of great interest
to them, as well as to the general public.
The interview is notable in the second place
for the remarkable experience it describes.
During a recent interview with the writer,
Mr.. Marsh said:
"Eight years ago contracted the whoop-
ing cough. Although to all appearances 1
got rid OF it, the bad effects were still left in
my system, and for many years 1 have not
known what it was to enjoy a really well
day. That may sound strange, but it Is the
case.
"At first 1t was not very bad. Cold fol-
lowed cold. however, and soon 1 found the
slight trouble had grown to a serious mat
ter. Ny head and nose were constantly
stopped up. I had dull, heavy pain in
my forehead directly over my eye. There
were roaring and buzzing noises in my ears.

PRICES Dive DEEPER.

If clothing that's worth
much does that, its a wonder.
The generosity % of the
prices ought to rejoice you.
First, they 60 down to "un-
heard-of" prices. Then. a
new crop makes a deeper
plunge. 1t looks as if the
clothing business had taken
to "auctioneer" shop methods.
The prices mayn't be any
lower now than they ought to
be. That depends on what
kind of clothing it is. 1t must,
at any rate, have been mon
strously high before.
We couldn't pursue such
tactics with our make. It's a
mere matter of a small profit
with us on the cloth, plus the
work put on it. That's the
true basis of a low price. All
clothing that has real value
fixes prices so. We can't hack
and hack at our prices.
If it's for clearingup broken
lots, our prices are lower.
A full assortment of Thin
Goods: at fairest prices.
Merchant tailoring of first
order: 1000 styles of goods.

TO Relieve the Ovcrproduction.
FALL RIVER, MASS, July 2S.-At q
meeting of the Manufacturers Board of
Trade to-day, the agreement of New En-
gland mill men to shut down factories in

turers individually and secure their sigma
lures to an agreement to shut down one week

made. Sold by frst-class grocers only.

did get little sleep it did me no good. 1
would arise in the morning tired and unre-
freshed In the morning matters were equally
as bad. 1t would take two or three hours
coughing and raising to raise the phlegm that
had gathered In my throat Sharp pains would
shoot through my chest. My heart would beat
rapidly at the slightest exertion. had given
up all hopes of ever getting well, and really felt
that death would be relief. when 1 read of
the wonderful success Drs Copeland and Blair
were having in treating catarrhal troubles and
determined TO see them. found their charges
very reasonable. SO placed myself under their
care.
"The result has been truly miraculous. My
head and heart no longer trouble me. The
cough has disappeared. 1 eat and sleep we'll.
My eyes are strong. l am refreshed In the
morning and can do good days work. In
fact all the symptoms complained Of have left
me. and am different person from the one
was when first went under the doctors treat
ment"

1t 10 nellev"d that the Number of the
Dead Will be Nearly Two Hundred.
LONDON, Feb. a-The work of re-
moving the bodies of the miners who
loss their lives by the explosion in the
colliery at Abersychan.is being carried
on as rapidly as possible.
1t is believed that the total loss OF
lives will mum Der 100. One hundred and
seventy bodies have thus far been re-
covered. AS a result of handling the
burned bodies, several of the workers
have been made i'll, ana have been COM
PEELED to return to the mouth of the
mine.
Affecting scenes are constantly being
witnessed. Among them, the discov-
cry of the grouped bodies of father
and his five sons Suffocation had
caused their death, and as they lay un-
disfgrred by the flames, they appeared
to be peacefully slumbering.
Tho successful restoration of the
ventilation of the pit has resulted in
simplifying the work of the relieving
parties.

Two Compositions of Equal Merit,
Both Written by Young Ladies'.

Two Compositions of Equal Merit,
Both Written BY Young Ladies'.
The judges who were selected to pass
upon the DEMOCRAT prize articles, after
careful and conscientious comparison of
the papers, have decided that for general
excellence the composition of Miss
Mary Cullum, 55 Wall street, whose
subject is 1.-The City of Brass" and that
written by Miss Marie Herr niger, %
kingsbury street, under the title, "a
Glance at Waterbury's Industries" are
superior to the many others received.
Upon the respective merits of these two,
the Judges themselves held different
opinions. Under the circumstances, the
prize, five dollars in gold, will be divid-
ed.
The articles were examined by two of
the most capable literary critics in the
were unknown. One of the judges is of
the opinion that, taking everything into
consideration, the composition signed
Vivian is the best, but even that is
open to criticism. On the other hand
the essay of Rose" is pleasantly written
and contains many graceful sentences.

excellent and the selection of words gen.
