The Tadpole ofnn Angel.

After all, in view of the problem of how
to get sin out of the world and how to live
happily i'll our own world without sin.
there is great refreshment for everyday
men and women in the reflection that each
one of MS may be-probably is-the tadpole
of an angel. In the white light of that
thought all the learning and the love all
the powers and all the passions, all the
humor and humility and instructive obei-
sances OF the soul and sweet delights of
daily life shine in n radiance where the
everlasting law and order of nature are
more beautiful than itsdcviations. Boston

LII GrlpDe

During the prevalence of tho Grippe
the past seasons it was a noticeable
fact that those who depended upon Dr..
Kings New Discovery, not only had a
speedy recovery, but escaped all OF the
trou olesome after effects of the malady.
This remedy seems to have q peculiar
power in effecting rapid cures not only
in cases of La Grippe, but in all
Diseases OF Throat, Chest and Lungs,
and has cured cases OF Asthma and Hay
Fever of long standing. Try it and be
convinced. 1t won't disappoint. Free
trial bottles at Christian Il Barbee's.

overturned while descending a hill.
Nothing was found of Muldoon or the
team except shreds of flesh scattered
among the bushes. The shock was felt
fifteen miles. Muldoon was 40 years
old and unmarried. He was employed

WINSTON, N. c., June 24.-Peter De-
Croft, accused of the murder of Ellen
Smith here on July 90 last, was cap

county several days. When caught De
Croft had three guns in his possession.

NEW York, June 24.-While the
trading at the stock exchange was
limited in volume during to days short
session.. tho bears did not lose their
control of the market. In fact they
made material progress in certain sec.
tions OF the list. more particularly 30
in the case Of the Nickel Plates. Those
stocks have been dormant for long
time, but to-day they were taken in
hand by the bear brokers and depressed
anywhere from ~ to per cent.
common, sold down ~ to IS; first pre-
ferred, Q to 81 and second preferred.
GA to 23@24.
In the absence of inside support the
marking down process was accom-
plished with ease. Other weak spots
were Rubber preferred, Chicago Gas.
Union Pacific. Sugar and General Eec-
trio. The decline in the specialties
ranged from u to 211 per cent, Chicago
Gas and Rubber leading. The market
was influenced by a further loss in bank
reserves and fears that money will work
close next week. Outsiders are not in
the market to any extent and room
traders have the field practically to
themselves. At the close speculation
