The subject Of the above portrait is
prominent and much respected citizen, Mr.
Robert Manson, of West Rye, n. Fl. Where
MIR. Manson is known Ibis word is as good
as his bond" In a recent letter to DR.. r. V.
Pierce, Chief Consulting Physician to the
!nvalids' Hotel and Surgical Institute, Buff
falo, n. Y, Mr.. Manson says:
cdr. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets are tho
best pills l ever took for the liver. All my
friends say they do them the most good
This opinion is shared by every one who
once tries these tiny, little, sugar-coated pills,
which are to be found in all medicine stores.
The U. S. Inspector Of immigration at Buff
falo, N. Y, writes Of them as follows:
From early childhood I have suffered
from sluggish liver, with all the disorders
accompanying such a condition. Doctors
prescriptions and patent medicines I have
used in abundance ; they only afforded tenn
porary relief. I was recommended to try
DR.. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets. I did so, TAX
ing two at night and one after dinner every
day for two weeks. I have reduced the dose
to one Pellet every day for two months.
I have in six months increased an solid flesh
t,Oenty-teCo pounds. I am in better health
than [ have been since childhood. Drowsi-
ness and unpleasant feelings after meals have
completely diSapDearedn

That, OF all known agents to accomplish
this purpose, DR.. Pierces Pleasant Pellets are
unequaled, is proven by the fact that once
used, they are always IN fauor Their sec
ondary effect is to keep the bowels open and
| regular, not to further constipate, as is the
case with other pills. Hence, their great
popularity with sufferers from habitllal con-
stipation, piles, and indigestion.
The g Pleasant Pellets are far more effec-
tive In arousing the liver to action than ''blue
pills." calomel, or other nercurial prepara-
lions, and have the further merit of being
purely vegetable and perfectly harmless il
any condition of the system no particular
care is required while using them.
Composed of the choicest, concentrated
vegetable extracts, their cost is much more
than is that of Their pills found in the mar
ket, yet from forty to for5y-four ''Pelletsn
are put up in each sealed glass vial, as sold
through druggists, and can be had at the price
of the more ordinary and cheaper made pills.
DR.. Pierce prides himself on having been
first to introduce Little Liver Pill to the
American people Many have initiated them,
but none have approached his s. Pleasant Pei
lets " in excellence.
For all laxative and cathartic purposes
the Pleasant Pellets " are infinitely supe-
rior to all mineral waters" sedlitz pow

always fresh and reliable. One little "Pel-

AS dinner pill" to promote digestion,
take one each day after dinner. To relieve
distress from over-eating, nothing equals
them. They are tiny, sugar-coated. anti
bilious granules, scarcely larger than mus
tard seeds. Every child wants them.
Then, after they are taken, instead of dis
turbing and shocking the system, they act in
a mild, and natural way. There is no re-
action afterward Their help lasts

NEwBURYPoRT, Mass, April 13.-The
schooner Jennie NJ. Carter, from Sulli-
van, Me-, for Philadelphia with cargo
Of paving stones, came ashore here to-
day without soul aboard, and it is be-
lieved the entire crew has persisted.
When first seen her sails were in rib
bons and her jibboom and bowsp~it
were gone. Her rudder was also miss
ing and the vessel was drifting at
the mercy of the terrible seas to-
ward Sand Beach. In half an
hour she struck and was soon pounding
herself to pieces. When she was board
ed after grounding no one was found
aboard. She was owned by Capt. Ober
and others, of Sullivan, Me. 1t is pos
sible that the crew Of the vessel escaped
in the boats and are safe, but the fish
ermcn say that boat could not live in
the storm of last night.

Assist nature a little now and then with a
gentle laxative, or, if need be, with a more
searching and cleansing cathartic, thereby
removing offending matter from the stom-
ach and bowels, and toning up and invigo-
rating the liver and quickening its tardy
action, and you thereby remove the cause
of multitude of distressing diseases, such
as headaches, indigestion, biliousness, skin
diseases, boils, carbuncles, piles, fevers and
maladies too numerous to mention.
If people would pay more attention to
properly regulating the action of their bow
els, they would have less frequent occasion
to call for their doctors services to subdue
attacks of dangerous diseases

A SCORE OF LIVES LOST.
Many Workmen Caught in a Blazing
Building at Buffalo

BUFFALO, n. Y, April 13.-Twenty
lives were probably lost last night at
the destruction Of the immense works
The death list may not exceed fifteen,
but it is believed it will number score.
The dead are employees who were
penned on the upper floors by the
flames and persisted when the main
structure collapsed. Until reports of
the men missing are received the full
horror of the calamity will not be
known.
The works of the company con-
sisted of an eleven-story brick building
used for the manufacture of gluco
and starch, an eIght-story brick
building used as a power house
and as a place for making the
cattle feeding product, an eight-story
brick building used as refinery and an
elght-story stOrehouse. The entire
plant and the fish market adjoining
were destroyed. Five fremeS were
burned by falling roof, but only two
were injured.
About eighty men were at work in the
building when the fire broke out, but
how many escaped and who among
them persisted cannot yet be deter
mined. Some, to avoid death in the
burning building, leaped from the Win
dows only to be buried under falling
walls in the canal or to be imbedded
in mud. Two men who jumped from the
burning building into the canal were
but slightly hurt. The following are
missing:
JOHN BLUME.
JOHN CASPER.
MICHAEL GINEIG.
JOHN HUBER.
GEORGE JEPKA.
Tony HOFFMAN.
JAMES LOBIAK.
MICHAEL MALEsKI.
JOHN ODESKA.
STEPHEN SINSKI.
JOHN TRUBE.
JOHN FINGER.
On Scott Street the building was eight
stories high. On the canal side it was
three stories higher. With their seal
ing ladders the fremen reached win
dOWs on the seventh floor in time to
rescue a dozen workmen. When the
flames hared full in their faces they
were forced to retreat, but they knew
that above the sixth floor were between
thirty and forty Workmen. Escape by
stairways or fire ladders being cut
off, their doom was sealed. Perhaps
half of the number must have persisted.
These laborers were Poles for the most
part. Many Pole employed in the
glucose night gang did not come to
breakfast this morning, and as a con-
sequence weeping wives were early at
the hospitals looking for their hus-
bands, and finding that quest vain. now
stand fearful about the smouldering
ruins of the factory waiting for the ex-
huming of their dead.
Although heavy streams were pouring
on the ruins all night, and half dozen
steaming bricks to- day, it may be the
dawn Of another day before the work of
excavating can be successfully carried
on.

The Word "Like."

DIR. Fitzedward Hall, the English philol-
ogist, has added to his other sound articles
on the correct usage of the mother tongue
brief essay on the use of ''like" as con-
junction. This odd usage of the word is
most frequent among southerners, and
much reproach has been cast on them
therefor, but DR.. Hall, whose wide and ac-
curate knowledge of the English language
Mr.. Richard Grant White was once made
to respect, traces it back to eminently re-
spectacle sources in the classic wells of
English undefiled, etc.
The array of precedents Dr. Hall estab-
fishes is interesting, but whether they are
to be accepted as conclusive is another
matter, as precedents can be found for
everything, even for the assassination of
president. The language we speak today
is not Chaucer's or Wiclif's, and like" as
people south of Mason and Dixon's line use
it, will still seem to many minds barbar-
ism of speech. Chicago Tribune.

Beyond Endurance.

The preacher from town was filling an
appointment in a mountain church in Ken
lucky, and, being an old fashioned ortho-
dox minister, he was making his sermon
very warm. In fact, it was more than
warm; it was hot. He set forth vividly all
the terrors of the hereafter of the wicked,
describing minutely the boiling birthstone,
the blazing torrents of pitch and turpen-
tine, the dreadful caldron of eternal
burning, and picturing the sinners floating
about and writhing and squirming in the
awful lake below. The congregation was
vividly affected and the greatest stiffness
prevailed, every member listening intent
ly, until one tall, young fellow, evidently
with the preachers picture clearly before
his mind, jumped up and in protesting
voice exclaimed earnestly:
by gum, mister, them people can't
stand itp'-Detroit Free Press.

The Lead Lining of a Tea Chest.

1t is often said that tea chests are lined
with tinfoil. but just as there is no lead in
a lead pencil SO there is no tin in this tin
foil. The thin lining consists of lead, and
is said to be the purest lead that can be
found. Among the countless undeveloped
resources of the Celestial empire is sup
ply of lead which would yield millions an
nually if properly worked, and from the
inexhaustible supply the Chinese take
what they need for making Innings for tea
chests. The lead is melted in small vessels
and poured out while hot.
Before it has time to cool it is pressed
into a sort of mold, and when enough
squares have been produced they are SOL
dered together, and the sheet thus formed
is placed in the chest as lining. Then the
top layer of lead is soldered on, and all
possibility of the tea losing strength on the
voyage is at an end. The lead is so pure
and the solder used is SO fine that the lin
ing of an empty chest is worth more than
the chest itself, and is in great demand for
making the best quality of solder.-St.
Louis Globe-Democrat.

Wolsey's Household.

In Cardinal Wolsey's palace no less than
ESQ beds were provided for strangers, with
superb canopies and curtains of silk or
velvet. There were bedsteads of alabaster,
quilts of down and pillowcases embroid-
cred with silk and gold. The chairs of
state were covered with cloth Of gold; the
tables and cabinets were of the most costly
woods. Much of the splendid furniture
was emblazoned with my lords arms"
everywhere was impressed the cardinals
hat. The same magnifcence appeared in
the decorations and ornaments of the
chapel. But the forty-four gorgeous copes
of one suit, and the rest of the sacerdotal
pomp displayed there, were eclipsed by the
majesty of Wolsey's secular equipment.
The annual expenses of his household ex-
ceeded ESQ, ,0o0-ap immense sum for those
days. His retinue of 500 persons, his kingly
stud, his sumptuous open table are men
toned in every history. When he rode to
and from Westminster in his character Of
lord chancellor, his mule was attended by
long train of mobiles and knights on horse
back; his pursuivant, ushers and other
officers led the way in rich liveries, while
footmen with gilded poleaxes brought up
the rear.-Macmillan Magazine.

work of Buddha were rudely pictured in

After struggle to conquer English
words, which l thought would cause his
sudden death, the yellow priest, exhausted
from his labors, drew disconsolate breath,
and pointing to the still unexplained pic
lures and sculptures of his master, Buddha,
said:

know repeat everything"
Which meant that the Light of Asia, "

HIGH PRAISE.
Tho Interested Spectator Thought She Was
Genius.


1t was Saturday night and the outgoing
"theater train" was crowded. A man with
light brown overcoat on his arm and
wearing crush hat rose and gave his seat
to self possessed young woman with gold
trimmed eyeglasses, and stood patiently in
the aisle, ,cheered somewhat by the reflection
that she had thanked him.
| In one of the side seats a short distance
away sat an old man absorbed in a newspa-

warm he had removed his coat With his
