The company began it's improve

the dam, just above the factory, and
this necessitated a shutdown of
four weeks. The new dam is eight
feet high and a substantial structure.
Leading from that to the works is
a well-built tubular hume, five feet
in diameter and $50 feet long, fur

when the mill pond is fairly full.
Then as to the steam plant this will
be ready for use soon, but will only
be set in operation when the dam

The boiler is sixty horsepower, and
attached to it is a heater through
which the water passes before it
enters the boiler. This fine steam
plant, put in as supplement to
the waterwheel system, will give
the company genuine "cinch" in
respect to power, and low water
will not count against them. There
is too much business on hand over

engine, was soon speeding on its way
TO Philadelphia. There the conductor
of the regular passenger train had been
told TO await the arrival of a package
of important Government documents. of

The wait was long. Finally the Harris.

To make sure that the news of Lin.

burg with the rest of the world were
cut.
The train rolled into Baltimore while
the conspirators were dreaming of the
deeds of the morrow. Webster and
Howard signalled "All's well" from a
point agreed upon in cipher kilograms.
At 6 the next morning Lincoln was safe

There has been no extensive plot

any disturbance in the crowds. at inau-

The Push and Brains Of the
Haverhill Gazette.
For Correct Thinking, Healthy
Nerves Are Necessary.
In Worry, Not Work. In Excitement Not
Labor. is the Peril.

In Worry, Not Work. In Excitement, Not
Labor, is the Peril.
For correct thinking healthy brain is
necessary. It is necessary as well for
peace Of mind and body.
In worry, not work; in excitement, not
calm labor, lies the greatest peril; and
that peril is greater as the wear and tear
of modern life increases.
A brain that only gets just enough
nourishment TO keep It alive will not
produce much, and will not develop ,ts
powers. It is in recognition Of this fact
that so many eminent workers in the
literary field have been publicly recon-
mending that great restorer Of vitality,
Paine's celery compound.
Few newspaper men are better known
than the able and energetic editor of the
Haverhill. Mass Gazette, Mr. John b.
Wright who, by the way, is near rela-
tive of Bostons most famous editor
Mr. Wright, in letter to the Wells &
Richardson Co., says:
IL have used Paine's celery compound
with marked beneficial results. AS a
nerve tonic and sleep promoter ! consider
It far ahead of anything in the market
to day. 1t has certainly been of great
assistance to me when tired and over
worked
Mental strain demands nourishment.
It is for this that so many eminent law
yers. active politicians journalists, hard
headed business men, church men, chill.
dren and their mothers, take Paine's
celery compound.
There is no question about its virtue.
Physicians have long prescribed It year
in and year out testimonials by hundreds
have been accumulating, SO that an intel
ligent man knows what he is taking and
what its results have been in cases just
like his own.

DISPOSAL OF THE PEACH CROP.
with But Small Encouragement Dr.
Ridgely on the Question.

Tbs Peach Growers Committee Meets
with But Small Encouragement Dr.
Ridgely on the Question.
Special Correspondence Evening Journal.
DOVER, June 30.-In an interview
yesterday DR.. Henry Ridgely said, re
garding the peach crop of this year, that
immediate action on the part of the
peach growers should be taken toward
the disposal of the prospective large
crop. He further stated that to the circu
ars sent cut by the peach growers com
mittee two weeks ago, so far there had
been no response.
At their meeting Of the committee
here on Tuesday last IL was hoped that
it would be able to receive enough
means whereby to send an agent or
agents throughout the country, TO
solicit trade in this line; but up to the
present time, no action or response has
as yet been received.
The sum required is so small that any
one might contribute the amount, it
being only one cent for every ten trees,
or s for every thousand. The greatest
amount any one man would have to pay
would not be more than $40, there being
but few who have ten thousand trees in
their orchards This applies only to
trees in bearing this year
Already letters have been received by
peach growers in this section from Ohio
and other western states asking about
the peach prospect and the possibilities
II getting such fruit. Notwithstanding
this, peach growers seem to be holding
back. DR.. Ridgely further says that the
object OF sending these agents out Is
exactly the same as any large firm in the
city sends out its agents to sell and ad
vertise their goods, and-th that as they
have TO expend money In sending then
out, so IL will take money to send these
men out.
This peach committee, of which DR.
Ridgely is treasurer, will meet again OF
| Tuesday next when 10 is hoped that
liberal response will be made, so tha
| operations may be begun Immediately
| II there be no interest taken in the mat
ter, the few who have commenced thi
/ project, will advance the money them
selves and start out their agents and tn,
profits in the end will be theirs.
All over the Peninsula the prospect i
good, an1 something should be done to
ward the proper disposal of the frui
where it will be of the best advantage 4
