Love at First Sight.

After a prosaic married life Of near
ly fifty years Andrew s. Raymond
and wife, of Brady, Pa, have sepa-
rated just on the eve OF their golden
wedding anniversary. The combined
age of this old couple is 143 years, and
their present singular arrangement
is due to love affair of their young
est unmarried daughter. A few
months ago a young stock dealer
named Harry Butler, from near Tren-
ton, n. j., secured boarding at the
RAYMOND household, and it was not
long until mutual admiration sprang
up between the new boarder and Miss
Nav, the light of the Raymond fami-
Iy. Mrs. Raymond lent every effort
to make the pathway smooth but
when the state of affairs became at
last apparent to the husband and he
strenuously objected, and young But
Ter was ordered from the house, Mrs
RAYMOND maintained her right to ap-
prove of life partner for her daugh-
ter, while the husband declined to &C
knowledge such q marital preroga-
tive. The mother still aided the
Young lovers in their courtship, and
finally left her husband. She secured
apartments at the neighboring resi-
deuce of her sister, where, it is an
nounced, the lovers will be married
next week. Mr.. Raymond, the out
witted husband, Immediately took
preliminary steps towards securing a
divorce. His first act was to publish
q notice in a local paper forbidding
any one to trust his wife. He has en-
gagged an attorney to proceed with
the divorce papers.

HOW 1T WORKS.


1t has been quite while since the
Mckinley tariff bill went into effect,
and an account OF bow it is working
by this time will be timely reading.
1t has been pointed out again and
again how prices Of commodities have
risen in price, but these arguments
have been met by the opposition
with the assurance that wages would
raise too. But a list OF reductions,
compiled by the New York Times,
shows that the Mckinley bill works
both ways against the laboring man.
The following Is list Of the protect
edn industries referred to:
Brooke Iron Company, Pennsylva-
MIA, wages reduced 7 per cent, $50
men on strike Ellis g. Lessig Steel
and Iron Company, Pennsylvania,
reduction 10. per cent, 700 men on
strike; Pottstown Iron Company,
Pennsylvania. reduction 7per cent. ;
Bethlehem Iron Company, Pennsyl-
vania, reduction 10 per cent; Penn
sylvania Steel Company, Steelton,
Pa, reduction to 10per cent; Home
stead Steel Works, Carnegie, Phipps
& Co., reduction 10 per cent; Otis
Iron and Steel Company, Ohio, re-
duction 30 per cent; Chattanooga
Steel Company. reduction 10 per
cent. To be added to this list Of
wage losses in an absolutely protected
industry are the losses OF employees
i'm reaper works at Akron, Ohio; in
blower works, Massachusetts,, and in
the blast furnaces at Cleveland, Ohio
Some $4,000 men in the coke region
of PENNSYLVANIA are OH strike against
proposed reduction OF 10 per cent
The Lac kawanna Coal Company has
reduced wages 20 cents day; the
Duquoin coal mines in Illinois, 10 cts.
ton; Leavenworth mines in Kansas,
II per cent.
Few industries got so many favorS
in the Mckinley tariff DIS the pottery
industry. Yet at Trenton, New Jer-
sey, certain classes Of potters have
had their wages reduced 90 per cent.
The ribbon weavers at Patterson, i'll
the same State, have suffered to the
extent of Is per cent. The serious
trouble ut the Clark Thread Mills is
we'll known At silk mill in Con-
necticut wages have been cut % per
cent, and another reduction is re-
ported from the silk mill at Allen
town, Pa. At Willimantic, Connec-
ii cut, the hands struck successfully
against a proposed reduction of $3.50
per week. At the Bates mills, in
Maine, the workers were compelled
to accept a reduction OF 3 per cent.
At the Merrimac Mills, and at the
Hopedale Fabric Mill, in Massachu-
sets. the same thing occurred.
The Mckinley law largely increased
the duties on underwear Ito protect
American labor" but all the Amer
lean labor at the works of the
Underwear Company at Jackson
vile, Illinois, has recently struck
against proposed reduction of wages.
The American labor" in the SaIony
Knitting Mill, Little Falls, New
York, has been forced recently to &C
cept wages lowered by 20 per cent.

Disorders Which Affect the Kidneys

Diabetes, Bright's disease, gravel and other
com plants OF the urinary organs are not or

stimulant OF the urinary glands has ever
been found in Hostetter's Stomach Bitters,
medicine which not only affords the req
but increases their vigor and secretive power.
BY increasing the activity Of the kidneys ana
bladder, this medicine has the additional
effect OF sxpelling from the blood Impurities
which IL is the peculiar Office ofthose organs
to eliminate and pass off. The Bitters is al

remedy for biliousness and fever and ague.
