LIKE THE CRONIN MURDER.
A Physician Enticed to q Lonely SpO
and Stabbed and Beaten.

A sensational attempt to murder a prom
inent physician was made about midnight
Sunday night on the eastern outskirts Of
Wheeling. w. Va, the crime being made
known about 2 o'clock yesterday morning
by the Doctors horse arriving at his home
with the doctor unconscious in the buggy.
DR.. r. L. Ashbrook, the victim, was in
dicted about year ago with William Groves
and other local officials Of the local branch
of New York on the charge Of embezsle-
ment and forgery. William Groves. the local
manager of the company. was convicted at
the fall term of the criminal court, Ash
brook being a witness for the state against
him. and A. b. Whitson, a local agent, was
also convicted and sent to the penitentiary

come up yesterday. in which Ashbrook was
also witness for the state.
Recently Ashbrook had received threat ten

and on the edge Of the creek he was knock

by four men, who left him apparently dead.
Ashbrook crawled to his buggy in about an
hour, and managed to get into ii, and the

DIR. Cyrus Edison, one Of the greatest physicians

we na'e nao ABOUT the sort of weathe- for grip,
Including changes Of temperature, ruggy atmos-

them? There Is but one secret and tina. h by
Keeping the kidneys and liver In good WORKING
order. When these great organs do not act
properly grip and other deadly diseases can easily
take nrm hold upon When they do act

II is now admitted DIV the hest physicians nr,.
fessors and advanced thinkers the world ever that
nothing has ever been discovered that can ac.
tomplish this purpose Of seeping the Kidneys and
hVer In perfect condition except the great remedy
Known as Warmers Safe Cure. This great prepa-
ration has been tested thoroughly for the past
twenty years and has never failed to prevent the
coming on OF grip, pneumonia and the terrible
dangers which follow In their wake. Thousands of
names could be given OF those who have found
this to be true. and 1t has become 50 wonderfully
popular entirely upon its merits.
But, while this great cure will Invariably pre-

equally great record owing to the great cures 1t

From Harpers Bazaar.
To the average woman the bargain coun-
ter presents very great attraction, almost
temptation. Here is an article of use or
beauty marked down a few cents, or it
may be few dollars, below its usual price.
The matron, intent on a shopping expedi-
ton, has carefully made out her list, and
fancies that she knows precisely what she
wants. Her lack of the thing which Is on
sale at bargain" has not been manifest
to her mind. but the sight of it, displayed
IN all its cheapness, fires her Imagination.
1t Is a divan, one-third less in cost than
a special corner of her drawing room. She
home triumphantly, forgetting that the
II complete will bring II to a point far be-
yond the original cost, and beyond the mod
est sum she has set aside to cover the en-
tire outlay for this article.
This Is only one case among many. A
bargain in its first estate may be cheap,
but in Its last 1t Is generally dear. The ex-
ception is when bargains are bought. not
on impulse, but Of set purpose. as for in
stance, when a woman buys clothing for
her family at the turn of the season. 1t is
surprising what a difference in cost there
is sometimes found in the same grade of
goods, the difference being in the fact that
the merchant does not wish to carry his
stock over from one season to another.
But this is not strict bargain buying. It
Is merely purchasing with forethought, and
belongs in the ca tegory with the thrift that
saves for a rainy day.

House OF MERCY.
Bishop Paret Calls Alteration to Its
Good Work.

In a circular signed by Bishop Paret and
distributed among the Episcopal churches
of the city there are high words of praise
for local Institution. The circular says:
THE House of Mercy. Washington. d. c.,
was established in the year 1885. since
which time 1t has ever been doing its work,
quietly and faithfully. The house is a re-
treat for women who have fallen, but de-
sire to reform. 1t is impossible to go into
details of work Of this nature. yet we are
not without proof of Its usefulness and of
the urgent necessity for it's continuance.
We earnestly desire to awaken more gen.
eral interest in this particular work. Many
regard IL as useless, which idea could be
readily dispelled by acquaintance with it.
They would learn that from this house
have gone forth those who have been re-
covered. and today are living Industrious
lives. thankful for the home that sheltered
them in their time of need From these
come letters expressing their gratitude, and
thereby encouraging US. The number mat
can be accommodated Is thirty-tive. No
one Is received for less than six months,
and in almost all cases a much longer stay
Is deemed necessary. None are permitted
TO leave until a home Is provided for them.
While under our care they are instruct I'd
In sewing and general housework, which
hts them for service. And of those whom
We have sent out come such reports as
make us feel that the institution has a very
real place in church work.
I'VE desire to make this house a refuge
for those who have known the comforts
and Influences of home, as well as those
who are utterly friendless. This work is
entirely dependent upon voluntary contri-
buttons and q small appropriation from
Congress, which are Inadequate for It's
maintenance. Therefore. we feel it Is nee
essary to awaken the interest of the church
at large, and especially in the diocese Of
Maryland This is the only church institu-
ton Of its kind south Of New York. If each
parish would cor tribute an annual sum,
even small in the aggregate. 1t would be Of
much assistance for the continuance of
the work. which without such help must
anguish We must strengthen the hands
of the sisters who have come to us, and
now have this work in charge, and who
are SO earnestly interested In its success
The sewing Is done most satisfactorily, and
u quite a source Of revenue to the house
A talk with those in charge would soon
convince one that theirs Is no idle work,
but most necessary and helpful to those in
need. Are there not some who wouii wish
% make thankful Offering to God for
their own mercies? Surely no better way
could be found than to help this work,
whose object is. as our Masters, to seek
and to save the lost. We ask of you not
cess. that God may bless all to His glory.
Contributions may be sent either to the
treasurer of the house. 2fUS X street, WASH
tngton, or to the bishop.
To the Trustees of the House of Mercy:
Your noble work has my hearty approv-
al i earnestly desire its continuance and
growth. and must thank you for the

Judge Butler, of Philadelphia,
gave wholesome lesson as to the
obligations involved in American
citizenship to an application for
naturalization papers. He came
accompanied by friend, and to the
question what were his views of
our government, he frankly avowed
himself socialist. The friend had
been thoughtful enough to bring a
printed tract which he said ex-
pressed both his own and his friend S
views. The judge took it and adj
vised the applicant to come another
day. On the second hearing the
judge refused the application. He
had found by reading the tract that
the parties advocated doing away
with all property rights and bring
ing our social system into chaos.
1t is refreshing to read of such an
example of judicial appreciation of
what is involved in citizenship.
The law prescribes certain ques-
ions which shall be asked of every
applicant for citizenship. The OBJ.
ject of these questions is to ascer-
tain the fitness of the candidate for
the honor to which he aspires. 1t
is greater thing to be a citizen Of
the United States than it was to be
a Roman citizen in Rome's proud
est days. But as naturalization pa
pers are usually made out, the most
important questions are slurred over
as if they amounted to nothing, and
the mass Of new citizens goes into
our national hopper with wheat,
chaff and weeds so mixed that it is
no wonder our government is out
of sorts from dependence on the
product for sustenance.-Ex.
