Thad SteYens' Mill.

Thaddeus Stevens was considered ont of the best lawyers to draw will or tc find ways to break one already drawn in the state of Pennsylvania, and yet twenty-five years have passed since he was gathered to his fathers, and the courts have not decided yet what dis position he intended to make of his own property, so muddled is the will which he drew. The bulk of his estate was granted to a favorite relative on va riety of original conditions. The con ditions failed. and children's home was the residuary legatee, with the ad- ditional condition that the estate should reach S5O,OO0. Again the condition seems to have failed, and now n rela, tive in Indiana appears and claims the estate on the ground that the required sum which was necessary to give vital. ity to the childrcn's home bequest was made up largely by delay and accumu lation of interest, and not by the proper assets of the estate.

\ Five Minutes Talk,

Could we have the favor of a personal interview with almost any resident of Waterbury we are confident we could convince him of the honest sincerity of our belief and moreover could produce re- liable evidence to prove our statements We do not admire and never use sensa- tional advertising, believing that honest and exact statements, together with the testimony of respon sible people, concern ing an article of true merit, will in the end gain the fullest confidence of the people. For this reason we shall tell you only what we absolutely know and can fully prove. During the last year nu- merous cases of obstinate blood diseases of long standing have been cured; victims of jaundice and other liver troubles have been restored to health; sufferers from constipation and it's attendant evils write us of relief and cure and hundreds of people debilitated by disease, old age and overwork, have been made we'll and strong again by taking Sawyer's Dande- lion Compound.

THE HARRIS CASE.

The public tendency to try criminal cases out of court should be checked. Often has the imprudent interference of outsiders been a stumbling block in the path of justice and sometimes it has led to positively evil results. The latest case is that of Carlyle w. Harris, a young New Yorker, who is condemn @ l He had trial to the fairness of which no one objects. He had the best counsel that money could procure and every thing that could be done to break the force of the discriminating evidence was done. Nor has that counsel relaxed it's efforts since the verdict was rendered. All the new evidence or probable evi- dence that could be used in his behalf if new trial were granted has been patiently and carefully sifted, and has been judiciously determined to be in sufficient to warrant presumption that the verdict already rendered would have been different if all of it that is admissible had been offered at the trial. Now people who believe that Harris is not guilty, propose to get up a mass meeting and through it influence Gov. ernor Flower to prevent the execution of Harris. People who believe that Harris is innocent are not to be blamed for their belief, they have a right to it and holding it, it is but natural that they should desire to see the execution of what they take to be an innocent man stayed. But the people are not ir way to know the facts as the court and jury are. Their appeal to the exc cutive by ordinary methods is perfectly justified, but an attempt to infiame pub lie opinion and forcing the governor tt act is to be condemned.

This quantity is equal to 6,250, ,OOO pounds avoirdupois, or 2,125 tons. Loaded upon wagons carrying one ton each, and allowing forty feet for each team and vehicle, this mass of metal would make a pro- ceesion over twenty miles long.

A TYPEWRITER employed in the office f prominent real estate firm In St.

One of the firm said that if she were a man he would be the office boy himself, so great is her business ability; yet she receives only the regular typewriter's salary. Another woman in the west has for fifteen years conducted large insurance business for the regular agent. He receives the agents profits, she Q meager salary. Men clerks and stenographers claim that their chief reluctance to women's entering these different lines of business Is that the women reduce the salaries paid, not be- cause of their number. but because they are too easily satisfied with small pay and arc not ambitious enough for pro motion.
