IN TERRIBLE AGONY.
A New Jorsey Woman May Die from tho
 Bite of Pct Cat.


 Bite of a Pct Cat.
 MAYS LANDING, N. J., July 31-Mrs. Emeline Thompson, wife of Captain H. A. Thompson, inspector of hulls at the port of Philadelphia, was bitten by pet cat two weeks ago on the arm. About two hours after she began to suffer great pain and the arm had swollen to almost twice its normal size. It became greatly discolored, and a physician was immediately called in. She got no relief and suffered great pain.
 The doctor has been in almost constant attendance, but Mrs. Thompson has gradually grown worse, and her suffer inqs are terrible. For the past four days the swelling has been reoeding, but the arm is almost black and the pain is great The cat which bit Mrs. Thompson was a small Maltese cat of which she was very fond. and which she had alway. petted and taken great care of.
 The attending physician, Dr. H. C. James, has hopes of the case, but ii watching it closely. The cat has not been killed, but is closely watched. II many ways Mrs Thompson's symptom. are not unlike those of Lawyer Bartine' of Asbury Park, who was bitten by ca and died from the effects of the bite.
 At the time she was bitten she wa! carrying the cat in her arms, when i became frightened and tried to run from her. In her attempts to hold it the ca both bit and scratched her several times when she was compelled to drop 1t. The pain set in at once, and in two hours time she was nearly frantic.
 A prominent Philadelphia physician has been called to examine the arm.

WOMAN's ODDITIES.
She Always Seems to Lose Her ApIoml
 In an Onlce Down Town.

She Always Seems to Lose Her AplomL
 In an Onlce Down Town.
 The utter helplesgness of most women when brought into contact with the ac- tive business world is often amusing and always interesting, says the New York Herald. When a woman comes into one of the great office buildings down town in search of somebody or something she is usually at once de- prived of what common sense she may ordinarily keep in stock.
 The probability is that she will in- quire of the first person she meets whether Mir. Somebody has an office there. This person may be an utter stranger to the city. If he isn't he will refer her to the bulletin or to the jani- tor or the elevator man.
 Now the bulletin may possibly con- tain 100 or 200 names and may be spread all over the walls of the corridor, or posted up alphabetically in the dark el- evator. In any case it is confusing to a woman not familiar with the scheme.
 She may see half dozen uniformed men and boys rushing about, but can't tell an elevator man or assistant janitor from a district messenger or telegraph boy.
 She will, get off at the wrong floor, get lost in the halls, get into ever so many wrong offices. and finally arrive at her destination in white heat of worry. What strikes her as the most remarkable thing about it all is that nobody seems to know anything about anybody else.
 Men may occupy an office in one of these buildings for years and know nothing whatever of their next door peighbors. And what strikes the office men and every body connected with an office building as most remarkable is the fact that women, as 0 rule, are ut terly oblivious to signs.
 They will go directly past the plain gold lettering that announces men and business, and inquire in the very next room.
 A woman can find anything in bu- reau drawer or at the bottom of trunk by instinct, which is more than a man can do. But she scars above signs.

THE emperor of Germany and his wife, who have been having such a warm welcome in England. are said to be contemplating a trip to the United States. There is an unwritten code which prevents European monarchs from coming over here, although they are continually running about Europe, visiting each other and giving to the nations some fine shows. Dom Pedro of Brazil was the only king of a great country who has made us friendly call. He came in the centennial year, and was treated with marked consideration by the great crowds of Philadelphia. He was among the most enlightened kings and the most successful as ruler, owing to the spread of democratic ideas and the contagious example of this republic and that of the neighboring South American states.

 Peasants Terribly Punished by the Cnar'S
 Omcars.
 LONDON, July 81.-Correspondents at St. Petersburg telegraph that the great est misery exists in Bessarabia, owing to the failure of the harvest and the scar oity of food.
 At Kisherau, the chief place of the province. 1t is said that not less than twelve persons have died of starvation and penury this month. Not Jews alone, but many Russians have hurried across the frontier into Roumania in order to escape the severe measures instituted since the outbreak.
 In the village of Koushany the people broke out in 8 riot, and plundered shops of provisions. The local police tried to restrain them and were badly beaten, and one of their number was killed. Re-enforcements arriving from the town of Bender, the rioters were at length dispersed, and @ large number were made prisoners. Two of the prisoners were knouted to death in the public streets as e warning to their late com- panions, and six were selected for im- mediate deportation to Siberia The wives and children of the exiles were not permitted to speak to them before departing, and nothing was spared that wou Id be likely to strike terror into the unhappy peasants.
 Typhus fever is raging in Vulhyuia, owing to the want of food and the terri ble condition of the starving people, who are too weak to attend to the offices of cleanliness, so necessary at this time of year. In some places, so many have died that the living are unable to bury them, and the Provincial Government has had to detail prisoners from the jails to per form the duties of interment. The Russian authorities spare no effort to prevent the truth from being known across the frontier in Austria

After Forty Years . Man Repays Q Kind
 ness with Interest.
 Forty years ago lad came to this city from the rural regions bearing 8 note to retail shop keeper, who was asked to try to find him something to do in New York. The retailer took up the lads case and got him a job in a work shop, where he stayed for years, or un- til he reached manhood, after which he struck out west and there found a chance of going into business for him. self. He prospered in life as the years sped along; he won wealth by the time
 he had reached middle age; he rose to distinction among his fellows; he be-
 came powerful person in his state, and for years past he stood among the notables of the country. In all these years, says the New York Sun, he had never again seen the retailer who spent ten minutes, forty years since, in find
 ing him a job in workshop in North William street. A few days ago when the rich notable, who is now over fifty years of age, was making a visit to this city, he determined to hunt up the re- taller who had taken pains to give him start in life. He found him in the old retail shop, doing business in the old way, neither rich nor notable. As might be expected, the two graybeards did not know each other when they met, and it turned out that the retailer had forgotten that he ever rendered a slight service to a country lad forty years ago. But the eminent man told him of it, assured him that he owed all his suc- ! cess in life to the kindly act that had given him a start in his youth, and gave expression to his gratitude for the act ! in way that will relieve the aged re- tailer from worldly cares hereafter.

A Hard Corner.

The age of 30 is a hard corner for a woman to turn, and 35 is still harder
 She feels that she is fast leaving her youth behind her. But there is no req son why a woman should be faded and passe at 35, or even at 45. The chief cause of the early fading of American women is found in the fact that many of them suffer from some form of fe- male weakness or disease which robs the face of it's bloom, draws dark circles about the eyes, brings early wrinkles and sallowness, and stamps the face and figure with signs of i'll health. Dr Pierce's Favorite Prescription will cure all these troubles, will bring back the lost bloom, and remove the pains and ailments which make women grow old before their time. Guarante to give satisfaction in every case, or price ($1.OO) refunded,

JOHN w. BooKwALTER, who owns 60,OO0 acres of land in Nebraska, pro poses to initiate great reform in farm life, at an expense of S7O, ,OOO or $1OO, ,OOO to be met out of his own purse. His idea is to overcome the farmers discon- tent, which he believes to be due mainly to social isolation, by bringing the homes together into tastefully ar ranged village near each ones land in stead of having them on the individual farms. He has already started the ex- pertinent on a small scale, and says: ''I am going to build town hall and estab- fish a free circulating library. This scheme is in vogue among the farmers of France, Spain, Italy and Switzerland, and is great success"

SEDGWICK,
HIS Bank St, and 1o4 So. Main St.

The store No 03 Bank street (now 115) which l have occupied for the past six years being too limited to accommodate the steady increase of trade, nccessitated more conr;nodious quarters, consequently have leused for term of years the store directly in the rear (Meigs' new block) and running to South Main street, and have just completed an addition connecting the two stores. making it one continuous room extending from Bank to South Main street, with an entrance on both streets
 The new store in Meigs' block has been nicely fitted and furnished, making it the most elegant Fine Tailoring parlors in New England, and will be used exclusive ly as a Custom Department.
 The front store has been extensively i'm proved and will be occupied as Mems Furnishing Department, making two dis tinct departments and making each de- partment attractive and roomy.
 The Mems Furnishing department is now overfowing with all the novelties of the season. The goods are Fresh, New, De- sirable and Cheap, and as an especial in ducement for those who desire a Fancy Shirt for spring I am offering Cluett & Coon's Crown Monarch Shirts which have always been sold for $1.50 at 95cents.
 The Custom Department as usual is stocked with more extensive and elaborate line than any tailoring establishment in Conn, consisting of all the latest and most desirable Suitings, Overcoatings and Trouserings the market affords, (My trous erings are unusually fine) and no effort will be spared to please. The garments will be turned out in the most approved style, and made by the most skilled work men.
 The public are invited to call and look at my mammoth stock and beautiful store. It will be pleasure to show you.

Symons has had this manuscript photo graphed, and reproductions of the ten large photographs, with full transla- ton (the original is in contracted Latin), some particulars as to Merle and list of the subscribers are to be given in a handsomely printed volume.

Ono of the Heaviest Rain falls Ever Known

 WnLIAMsPoRT, Pa., July 31.-One of the heaviest rainfalls the city has ever known occurred last evening. The sewers were unable to carry off the water, and the streets in the lower DOT tions were flooded three feet deep.
 A span of the new Maynard street bridge, an iron structure, was blown down, several mills were dam aged, and 80 fine houses on the south side of the river were wholly or partly blown from their foundations.
 One house collapsed over the heads of the inmates, and Mrs. Frederaoy, one of the occupants, was badly hurt and is still unconscious. The aggregate dam age was very heavy. The area of the storm was fortunately narrow.

Learning by ear, without thinking of the meaning of the words learned, sometimes brings startling results.
