though he would be able to show
that Mrs. Dunselth was not an acces
sorry, as charged, and therefore shoult

A portrait that attracts immediate at
tention in the large and notable collection
in the chamber of commerce rooms is that
of an emaciated looking foreigner attired
In rich robe, with jeweled chains thrown
over his shoulder. This is said to be an
excellent portrait of Howqua, the richest
merchant In China half century ago It
was presented to Mr.. A. A. Low, who
knew the original personally, and who re.
Gently loaned the picture to the chamber
of commerce. Howqua was known to the
New York merchants of fifty or sixty years
ago as the John Jacob Astor Of China. His
wealth was regarded as fabulous by his
countrymen, some of them putting the fig
ures as high as 500 900, 900. Mr. Low, how.
ever, thinks that go, 000,00 would be 8
fair estimate.-New York Times.

pebarfhsAt Of p. W. 4 b. Railroad
Company, that forged checks on the

ARE being extensively circulated. Sew

scented ~ the Hudson National Bank

These ch6cks are well executed, and

store KEEPERS and the proprletors Of
saloons are cautioned to be very care
full in cashing railroad checks, unless
they know the parties presenting
them. Tho officials of the First Ma

hand when the checks are presented,
TO arrest any one who may present o
forged document. As some of these
parties are known, 1t may be well for
them to stay away from the bank.

A Big Failure.

We regret to hear that the Kennebec
Zoe n Coal Company, doing business
at the corner OF Second and King
streets, has become SO greatly embar-
rassed, through the failure of ii. b.
Keese, Son u Co., OF Saut Ste
Marie, Michigan, to honor their checks,
for large amount, that 1t has been
deemed best to make an assignment
for the benefit OF all their creditors.
The Indebtedness, 1t is said, will
amount to about $4,000. The bust
ness, (also the real estate of Mr.. Har,
Ian Cause, has been purchased by O
prominent gentleman OF our city, who
will continue it for the coming year,
when 1t will probably be wound up OF
disposed of to other parties. The
Kennebec Company was composed OF
enterprising young men, and we re-
greet that they failed to secure proper
return for their labor.

All Sufferers are OF the nervous temper
ament, and in their haste to speak so much
nervous energy is sent to the vocal organs
that they cannot act fast enough for it to
escape, and confusion is the result All
that is necessary is to divert Il part OF that
energy to some other operation-that is, to
divert the mind partly to some other thing.
Thus, at the enuncistion OF every syllable
tap any part OF the body with the finger,
or the floor with the foot, or wink the eye,
and the person will cease to stutter on the
instant. Persist in the practice and the
cure will be permanent.-Hall'sJ journal OF
