What is lacking is truth and confi- dence. If there were absolute truth on the one hand and absolute confidence on the other, it wouldn't be necessary for the makers of Dr Sage's catarrh remedy to back up plain statement of fact by a $500 guarantee. They say-"If we can't cure you (make it personal please), of catarrh in the head, in any form or trouble in making the trial" "An ad- vertising fake,' you say. Funny, isn't it, how some people prefer sickness to health when the remedy is positive and the guarantee absolute. Wise men don't put money back of "fakes." And fak- ing doesn't pay.
 Magical little granules-those tiny, sugar coated pellets of Dr Pierce scarcely larger than mustard seeds, yet powerful to cure-active yet mild in operation. The best liver pill ever in vented. Cure sick headache, dizziness, constipation. One dose.

IT is truly sad to read the description of the new china procured for the white house. The pieces all bear the in signia of the United States, including the stars and stripes, the American eagle with outspread wings, and a streamer bearing the words "E Pluribus Unum.' But the china was all i'm ported from France. and china is one of the items in our tariff law which has for its professed object the protection of our home industries against foreign mpetition and the encouragemento of domestic manufactures.

THE republicans shouted too soon about wheat being put upon the free list by the reciprocity treaty with the British West India islands. The off cial schedule of the treaty has been made public, and the best that wheat, corn, oats, salt or pickled pork and beef gets, is a reduction of 25 per cent in the existing duties.

GEN HENRY w. SLOCUM contributes to the January number of the Forum short but impressive paper entitled "Pensions: Time to Call a Halt.'' Within the space of five pages he pre- sents the statistics which are pertinent to the subject, in compact and in structive manner, and with moderation of language, but, with decisive firm ness, assigns weighty reasons for calling a halt. He compares the expenditures for this purpose on account of the civil war with what was done by. this government for the soldiers of former wars, and what is done by foreign governments for veterans and their de pendents, pointedly refuting the decla- ration of civil officer of New York, in a public address-that the government had been mean and penuriOus in its treatment of its defenders, with GIG, 160 pensioners on the rolls in the last finan- cial year. to whom was paid $11S,64S,- 959, and with the assertion of the com missioner of pensions that le would be able during the current year ito care fully adjudicate and allow 35O,00O addi- tional claims for pensions"

ONE curious feature about typhoid fever is its autumnal vitality. It is the 'fall' fever of the Americans. Each fever has it's particular season for high development, and typhoid, from one cause or another, chooses the end of the year for it's maximum. A medical authority tabulating the times of ty- phoid increase, tells us that since 1872 this fever has fallen to the minimum Gin so far as London is concerned) three times each in March and April, five times in May, seven times in June and once in July. It has had it's greatest development once in September, eleven | times in October, six times in November and once in December during the pel iod named. Thus, while we lesson the number of cases by attention to our drainage and by preventing our water supply from contamination by sewage, we cannot modify or alter the season. able conditions which operate to pro- duce the increase of typhoid fever at the years end. 1t is also pointed out that the incubation period tor that between the reception of the germs and the fever's appearance) averages in typhoid about fourteen days.

GRAND LARCENY


ShhfgeN Against eb-tfrHideni lthhhAm
Of the Bank of Harlem.
NEW York May 1.-Charles IL Pink
ham. Jr., who up 10 two years ago was
president OF the Harlem bank. aud who Is
at present general agent of the Equita-
BILE Insurance company, was arrested on a
charge Of grand larceny in the first degree
The Charge grows out Of n transaction in
1889 and came To the surface In the recent
work OF consolidating the Harlem bank
with the Hamilton bank, when bad aud
doubtful assets aggregating $4,000 were
found
The complaint on which the indictment
was found sets forth that on Aug. 3, 1889,
when Pinkham was president of the bank,
he gave two promissory notes To a. II.
Wood, the theatrical man, who is now in
prison for his connection with certain
swindlng schemes. The notes bore a
face value OF $1,000 and $500 respectively
IL il alleged that Pinkham, on the same
date. issued his check on the Harlem bank
for sl+ 800 Ia exchange for the two notes
Of Wood. This check was made payable
To the Harlem bank.
Pinkham accommodated several others
in the same way, aud by these transac-
tions the bank is said to have been a suf-
ferer TO the extent Of s330o0 Pinkham is
also charged with loaning himself 5000 on
o note Of H. II. Corey. Pinkham was held

The story is that yesterday testimony

Occurrences heretofore denied have been

of heretofore closed lips Thomas Boucher,
fortunate applicant for license was
before the jury, and the questions and
answers were uttered in such a loud tone
OF voice that some of the testimony was
plainly audible in the waiting room.
Maurice J. Curran was twice before the

Interest in the investigation was ill.,

Hurlburt of Lynn and Moulton of Salem
at the Newbnryport courthouse in the
interest Of some one, but who, they de-
clned To say. They talked with Mr.. Cur
ran and also with Aldermen Bolton and
Martin.
The presence of counsel at this stage Of
the investigation, and before anyone has
been indicted, is accounted for from the
possible fact that witnesses felt that they
should not answer certain questions
