an exhibit Of cutlery. Being manu-
featured goods, it comes under the
jurisdiction Of the committee of manu-
features. The committee appoints a
single Judge to examine the cutlery
exhibits The Judge is supposed to be
an expert He is expected to know all
about his subject and to be able to
point out the good and bad points Of
each piece Of cutlery examined by him.
After he has viewed the exhibit, he
makes written report to the commit

committee of Judges sends its recon-
mendatlon to the committee on awards,
favoring the bestowal of diploma and
medal, the diploma to bear in writing

That is all there is to the system un-
less, as often happens, the exhibitor is
disappointed with the findings of the
man who made the first examination.
Then there is the right of appeal from
the decision. IN case an appeal is made
1t is referred to what is known as the

OVERRIDING Things.

No one Of the recent commercial fail
ures has stronger lesson for men Of un.
bounded enterprise than that of Erastus
Wiman Of New York city. For mum.
Der Of years past Mr.. Wiman was special
representative Of prosperous com,
mercial agency, and the connection gave
him an income of $25, 900 year, enough
10 satisfy ordinary ambition, and to earn
which it would seem that 300 and odd
working days are none too long. Never
theless, Mr.. Wiman for five or six yeart
has been interested in a variety of enter.
prises, each Of which was enough to ta1
one mans capacity for administrative
work. One Of them was rapid transit
steamboat and railway line from New
York city across the bay and threading
Staten Island, lines aggregating over sc
miles.
After making good progress a couple
Of years Mr.. Wiman retired before the
system was half complete, leaving the
control and management to others. A
second scheme was to thread the island
with electrical railways motive power
to be furnished by lighting and motor
plant which has been under construction
over year. Another enterprise has
been the erection of homes for the mid
ding classes, to be sold on installments,
with life insurance policy to secure
the payment and to secure the family Of
the purchaser In case Of death. AS 0
preparation for this enterprise Mr.. WI,
man secured the title to about 1,00(
acres Of farm land accessible and suit
able for the purpose. Incidentally he has
advocated and devised plans to carry out
building and loan association with the
insurance feature attached to the loans.
A racing association on the beach al
Staten Island is another project to which
Mr.. Wiman has given some attention.
All of these projects are feasible and
tn line with public needs, and Mr.. Wi.
mans intimate business associates de
clare that If he had devoted himself tc
any one Of them exclusively he might
have made fortune for himself and
created public benefit as well. But
aside from inability to attend to so many
irons at once Mr.. Wiman had insult.
fcient capital at the start, although he
was fortunate in possessing good credit.
With inceptive enterprises resting upon
foundations liable to be shaken in every
financial furry, the final outcome might
have been looked for. And along with

Every person of town who takes any
interest in base ball and wishes to see
Drifton's reputation upheld on the dia-
mond should attend the Fearnots picnic
here next Saturday evening. The boys
did nobly last year and give ample
promise of doing equally as good on
the field this year. 1t requires money
to give the public free base ball, and
those who enjoy game such as the

probation by turning out at the picnic
There will be something there to amuse

OfInterest to Whist Players.

The whist players of America are
greatly interested because of the pres
ence on this side of the water of Henry
Jones, the Englishman who writes on
this.xpble game Of cards over the sigma
ture Sf Cavendish. Mr.. Jones is here for
the purpose Of taking part in the whist
congress that is to be held in Chicago,
and he is In great demand wherever he
goes Whist players and newspaper
men beseech him for interviews, the
first class for the purpose Of having
knotty points Of play settled by his auto.
cratic tips, and the second for copy that
may be sold for shekels. The players
are delighted because the great British
expert says the american lead" has been
adopted by progressive English players,
and the reporters occasionally secure
enough of his time to enable the making
Of o salable story.
1t should be understood by the public
that the whist congress is in no sense
part of or held under the auspices of the
officers Of the Worlds fair. 1t is an an
nual gathering of whist players, who de-
cided to meet in Chicago this year pos
sibly because the fair is held there, but
its arrangements are entirely in their
hands and have been made independent
ly of the Columbian exposition's commits

On Friday evening the locie house,
blacksmith shop and carpenter shop at
the stripping were burned to the ground.
The fire is supposed to have originated
from the spark of locie and in a few
minutes the flames made such headway
that they were beyond control. In
a department in one of the buildings the
powder was kept, and fortunately that
morning the ninety kegs which it con-
tanned were removed, or else the des-
truction might have been greater.

ABOUT NARCOTICS,
Their Uses and Abuses-Timely Words of
Warning-Read and Reflect.


Warning-Read and Reflect.
More money is spent yearly in the
United States for whiskey, tobacco and
opium than would be required to pay off
the national debt. These deadly evils
are working sad inroads upon the minds
and constitutions of the best men of
this favored land, wrecking homes,
breaking hearts, running and sending
men and women into untimely graves
and insane asylums.
Many remedies for the cure of these
habits have been put on the market, all
of which have proven sorry failures, for
the reason that they expect more of the
patient than he is able to stand, compel
ling him to exercise his will power in alb
staining from the use of stimulants
while he is taking the medicine. The
absurdity of such treatment shows on its
face, for were the sufferer able to give
up his habits he would have no need of
medicine.
HilPs chloride of gold tablets is the only
genuine remedy made. 1t is a positive
guaranteed cure for the use of liquor,
opium or tobacco in any form. 1t re-
quires no will power, but allows the pa
tient to continue his habits until he
drops them of his own volition and
without the least struggle. The medi-
cine is pleasant and contains no harmful
drugs. Where desired wives or mothers
can give it in tea or coffee without its pres
ence being detected, while the usual
good results will speedily follow.
These tablets have been on the market
for years, and thousands of testimonials
have been furnished, telling of their
wonderful cures and the lives that have
been blessed through their use. Ask
your local druggist for Hill's tablets, or
write to the Ohio Chemical Co., sole
manufacturers, Lima, Ohio. n
