JUDGE MILLER PARALYzED.x
Stricken Down fin the Street While on
 His Way Home.

SSNAcAoH DO"h An the street Wn119 on His Way Home. &.
 WARRINGTON, Oct. 1.-The Hon. Samuel F. Miller, senior Associate Justice of the United States Supreme Court, was stricken with paralysis about 2:30 yesterday afternoon, while walking on the street.
 Justice Miller was returning from the Capitol, and had just alighted from . street car at Thomas Circle, whom he first experienced . numbness in his left side. He was within 100 yards of his residence, and realizin1 q his trouble, endeavored to reach it by quiCkening his pace. His left leg refused to perform it's functions, and numbness finally extended to the entire left side.
 The justice, & man of determination, with 8 mighty effort, attempted to drag himself along. He perhaps would have succeeded; out at this point he had to cross street car track paved with oobblestone. Upon these he stumbled, reeled, and almost fell. He recovered himself, however, and seemingly aware of approaching unconsciousness, again put forth another effort to reach his doorway, now only 20 yards distant. Unconsciousness overcame him, how ever, at this moment, and upon the rough cobblestone of the carriage-way leading to his residence, the justice fell, his whole left side paralyzed. He fell Hat upon his face. which was badly cut by the rough stones.
 All this time his body servant had stood in the doorway, not noticing that Justice Miller was approaching, and not until the Justice fell was he aware of his presence. He immediately hur- ried to his assistance, and with the help of others lifted Justice Miller up the terraced steps leading to his resi- dence. When picked up he was totally unconscious. After being conveyed to his room he partially regained con- sciousness, and later on after the phy- sicians who had been summoned ed had administered medicines, he wholly re- covered consciousness. His left side, however, still remained numb, and his left limbs were useless. His ar ticula. tion, while it could be understood, was tn iok and heavy.
 At late hour the chan ces are greatly against Justice Miller's recovery. His mind, which had been clear during the afternoon, became somewhat clouded toward night and his general condition such as to alarm his family and friends. Shortly before II o'clock a sedative was administered and he dropped into deep! slumber, but his breathing was labored.

Farmers Threatened.

MONTREAL, Oct. 11.-Mgr. Lahscher. bishop of Three Rivers, has issued an order by which farmers are to pay $7.6 per l, ,000 bundles of hay to their cure They are to be refused the sacrament if they neglect to donate. The bishof says that not enough grain, fro m which they derive their tithes, is raised to enable the cures to live. This is . new departure, and has caused 6 great sensation among the farmers in the province. It means large revenue fol the church. The same order will be issued by all the bishops, Formerly the habitants were exempt from tithea on hay and paid only on grain. The effect was to induce farmers to give their attention to hay growing, and SC evade the tax.

"A Little Story" :"
-

We are not way up in tariff reform, but when manufacturers and commits sion men say to us, ''Now the Mckinley bill has become law" we cannot make any future contracts to deliver goods except at market prices at time of delivery. With all Foreign Goods advanced and our own home productions sure to advance, we are forced to sing the same song, Clothing is bound to advance" You are working over time, making good pay and under an advancing market, wagescannot be reduced and you will hardly feel any advance, for we have been secretly preparing for just this thing. Being in market every week in the year has kept us well posted which, with our largely increased facilities, we have been able to provide against an advancing market even as far as next Springs goods. Our little story is that We can show you a large stock of Fall and Winter Clothing away under actual value to-day, and would advise every one in need of ofan Overcoat or Suit to purchase now that our selec- ton is large, for you are sure to be obliged to pay more next winter. Re member this is good sound advice This is the winter to buy an Overcoat, and the c. w. D, the place.
