In the circuit court ~ Adrian Friday
morning Arthur Retain, young busl-
ness man OF Hudson. bought suit
against the Lake Shore railway for
$50, 900 damages. While walking across
the track last fall he got his foot pinned
IN the rail and had the lower portion
Of both limbs crushed.
Since the T., A. A. & y. NJ, the F. &
p. NJ, the c. J. N. and other Michigan
roads have decided not to honor the
mileage books OF lines out of the state.
the travelling men have devised plan
whereby they still travel in Michigan at
the low rate the mileage books afford.
IL seems that circular has been issued
statlng that the books prior TO April %
will DO good. OF course a large num-
Der Of such books are in the hands OF
travelling men and they are going to
save them for riding in Michigan only
and buy others for their transportation
IN other states. Thus husbanded the
books will last for some time to come.

At TIE SEWING SOCIETY.

In several of the churches of this city
there are fourishing societies that meet
weekly, to make clothes for the poor OF
the church or missions. This noble
work is one that is little known. yet it
accomplishes vast amount of good,
and too much praise cannot be given
to those who devote an after
noon Of each week to this
purpose. In another sense, these
societies are benefit TO the members,
for the weekly meetings give an oppor-
tunity TO discuss church work, current
topics, and other matters of special IN
terest.
Iu one corner Of the church parlors,
the other afternoon, half dozen ladies
were busily sewing, when one of them
said:
Ibid you notice how miserable Mrs.
Johnson looked last Sunday?'
"Yes, she - evidently wearing herself
out" replied one. Igave her some ad-
vice yesterday that hope she will take.
You know how near l came to being

''What advice did you give Mrs. John.

that he had seen advertised, and said
he was going to use it, and l had bet

il to please him. 1t did us both SC

After taking 1t about . week, slept

tite, and hardly an ache or pain, and in

1t was Paine's Celery Compound

good word for it, as know it isn't al
all like the ordinary sarsapariIla or bit

scription and it certainly did ME more
good than the average prescription.
That meeting was of the greatest
value to several of the members, for
they profited by the experience 81
frankly told and are today using the
same means of relief. Their aching
heads and weary limbs, respondent and
tired feelings, and distress after eating
will soon yield to its gentle, invigorat-
ing influence.

The cad case Of poor Mary Schroeder,
who took earbciic acid Thursday aftss-
noon with suscidal intent, has heen
spoken OF before. Rumor sad yester-
eay that the troubles Of the unfortunate
girl were over, bat Il proved to be
false. Size -, however, very low and
grave doubts are entertained OF her
recovery.
The unfortunate girl is an orphan,
very pretty and bat Is years OF age.
As she hes moaning with pam ~ her
home on Aipine-aye., her white face
standing eaIneo-Lke against curing
brown hair pllio~ed on the bed.
Her mind wanders and she
speaks OF her grave, and calls for her
lover, VINO has deserted her IN her hour
of need. Last fall she Was living near
MI Evergreen Csmetry with q
family bearing the name, Rheinke.
A social dance WAS held there
one evening, and there she
met Charley Thomss, young
man OF about "a, who vas employed
as = teaEster by VIM. Harrison, =
wagon maker on North-st. Thomas
WAS quite taken with the girl, and soon
they were acknowledged lovers aud
their engagement Was announced.
The Old Story Repeated.
II is but . repetition of the old, old
story. Last Wednesday she saw her
lover last, and tesrfully begged
him to remember her love Tor him, and
to prevent her disgrace. With cold
and cruel heart he left her saying that
he WAS gong to leave. Broken hearted,
alone in the world, deserted by tho only
one she held dear, she determined 10
save her name and die. In the after
noon she was asked TO go down the
street. but complained Of headache,
and stayed 1T home. She was irving ST
400 Alpine-st. About two hours later
when her companions returned, she
was almost over the border between
life and death. She had swallowed car
bolic acid. Drs. OpAlinski and Whitney
have worked faithfully with her. but
she Is far from recovery. In her lucid
intervals she says but little and wishes
she were dead. Then rclapsing into
delerium she calls for her lover, AMI
says: ''Oh, Charley! why do you leave
Why don't you take me alongi Oh, my
love; my dear!" Everything is being
done for her recovery.

TIE Earl. CREMATOnY AT TROY, y. Z.
they say, Is the great purifier, and their
arguments are daily gaining friends for
cremation.
The first cremntory erected In this
country was the LIE Moyne, small one
story structure located at Washington,
Pa, costing less than $1,000 and very
defective. The latest addition to this
line of buildings is 1.-The Earl" which
combines chapel with q crcnlatory. 1t
is the muniiccnt gift Of William Earl
TO the city of Troy, N. Y, and is stu
ated In the beautiful Oakwood ccmc-
terry. Gardiner Earl, the son. wns tho
first Trojan crcmatcd, which act was
consuEmatcd at Buffalo. N. Y.
Mr.. Earl, In speaking of the gift,
says: "We have made provision for Gre
nation for those who desire it. Tho
system shall be as perfect as can DC
made. There is nothing about the proc
ess that anyone ought to object to.
Cremation Is the proper way of dispos-
ing of the remains of the dead"
The new system of cremation offers
an Inexpensive nnd yet perfectly natural
way of preserving the ashes of loved
ones, and yet satisfying the highest
sense of duty and propricty. The idea
of being able to place the sacred dust In
an urn and keep 1t for all time as the
mortal remains of one who was loved md
cherished must commend itself us moro
poctical, moro feeling, moro in keeping
with tho highest love, than to bury In
the ground the loved form and leave it
to decay through tho slow-sproading
years until not vcstige Of it remains
