An Exposure of the Controlling Purpose

Peculiar circumstances in this state

that it has gained its recent success.
With its worst end foremost and tri-
umphant in New York, the democratic
party is not in fact as strong. nor has
it as good reason to hope for success
hereafter, as if it had been purged and
purified by defeat The people OF the
state may lose. how much no one can
say, by the success this year of the

of Morphine.
 The following interesting letters are self-explanatory:
 "Gentlemen: Two years ago was on crutches and had almost lost the use of my legs from the effects of chronic rheu- matism, from which I had suffered for two years.
 'I got acquainted with 8 man who had passed through all the stages of acute rheumatism, and he told me what he had suffered and how he came to be cured. He suggested that I try Paine's celery com pound.
 q did so, but with misgivings, as I thought where scientific medical men had failed to cure it was poor show to fall back on a patent medicine. I tried three bottles and found to my astonishment that the pain began to subside little and my legs to Timber up. I bought half dozen bottles more, and gradually got so that could walk without the crutches, and by the time finished the last bottle I was at my work again.
 f'At the time began to take the com pound I weighed 40 pounds; to-day I weigh 200 pounds. don't think it is nec- essary to write any more. Suffice it to say that have recommended the compound to as many as eight or nine of my friends who were sufferers, and now they are all entire ly free from pain or ache.
 1fJoHN THOMAS COLLINS,
 "178 Fourth St., South Boston, Boston, Mass, June H."
 'Gentlemen: About five or six months ago was taken sick with rheumatic fever, which settled in my knees and feet, so as to confne me entirely to my room.
 1T was attended by one of the best phy- siciansin the city, who did all that skill and medicine could do to relieve me. But it was of no avail. The pains continued d to grow worse and worse.
 "A friend of mine, hearing of my condi- tion, called to see me and gave me bottle of Paine's celery compound and told me to take according to directions. I did so, and after taking it for about four days I got so that could sleep little. Previous to this I was compelled to take morphia before I could get any sleep.
 "I used another bottle and began to feel quite comfortable. I continued with the compound until I had used four bottles and am now feeling strong and well. As I have to be on the road great deal you can rest assured 1 will never leave Boston without bottle in my satchel.
 "T would strongly recommend the medi- cine to any one who has been in the habit of using morphine or is troubled with in somnia, as it is the best sedative I know of.

in the light often before returning to the brown house and one afternoon the keeper found him down on the shore too weak to move and saw when-he tried to rouse him that he had but short time to live. Gently he lifted the poor, tired body and. carried him into the lighthouse, where he made him as comfortable as he could. He slipped away very quietly and as twilight came on scarcely seemed to breathe. Once, and once only, he spoke. It was at the last, when he seemed to rally a moment and raised himself to point to the window, cryinAi .rsSteve's come home!'' That was ah, and Captain Sis dreary toll was done. The keeper reverently smoothed the white hair and threw a sheet over the still face, so peaceful and so kindly in death as it had been ever in life. Then going to the doorway he stood awhile in the evening air refecting.- After time he noticed something down by the shore, and, slipping on his hat, made his way over the stones to the waters edge. Stoop- ing over it he started back with 8 gesture of disgust as the light of the beacon fell on the cold, shiny, stiff object washing against the rocks. There on the old shore where in boyhood he had frolicked for days, where the old man had so often sat with him planning for the future, where the patient heart had waited for him SO long, there with his bloated, sodden face. clad in his traitors uniform, Steve had come home.
 The wind had gone down, the waves were more quiet and the stars were shining when the keeper had finished his last tale. Knowing the family would be anxious for me resisted his urgent invitation to spend the night with him. The long hand of the queer old clock had overtaken the short one and they were resting together on twelve when rose to go. A last lingering look around the historic room with it's thronging recollections and asso- citations, farewell glance at the fire lit comfort of the easy chairs, the warm glow on the oaken rafters and walls, and I was off. A strong clasp of the keepers hand as he bade me godspeed in his hearty way and held a lantern in the door to light me on the stairs. Out into the silent night, with tha great golden light throb- ping above me, it's steady, flashing eye throwing pathway far over the dark waters, I went, plodding homeward with many glad remembrances and pathetic thoughts of Stratford light.

 At the stock exchange to day Union Pacific after most irregular and feverish opening of the market, was again attacked and drop of 1h per cent established in it, it's lowest prices being 385s but Missuori Pacific strong at the outset and steadily mounted until it had touched 694, a gain of Az per cent. from its lowest figures of yesterday.
