lice court here testifying as to the alleged
bribery Of the Gravesend members, Kurth

introduced by him he had entered into a
combination with Coleman, who also had
a labor measure to force through, and the
Gravesend members, who wanted their

to stand by the labor measures If Cole
man and Springweiler would aid them
In forcing Root. Choate and tho other
leaders to give them their pay.
He (Springweiler) went to Choate and
Root and told them that he and the other
members mentioned would not vote on
the important questions pending II their
demands were not satisfied. Mr.. Root,
Mr.. Lauterbaoh and Mr.. johnson agreed
to help get the labor measures through
and voted for them. The same method
was used in obtaining the back pay for
the Gravesend delegates.
Mr.. Coleman testified to the Same al
legged facts and said that Mr.. Kurth had
first suggested the ombination to brlng
the Republican leaders to time. The hear
Ing was adjourned until morning.

FOR MEN MUST WORK.
The Many Uncomplaining But
Weary Toilers.
They Go Without Rest to Make
Sure of Happiness for Others.
Overweight Nerves Work half Fed and
Cry Out With Pain.

For eight out of every ten who ever
take vacation. there remains behind
some hard working, accomplishing toiler
who is only too happy if be can provide a
rest and change for those dear to him
And 1t is lucky II in many cases this
self denial does not get to be regarded
as duty, aud the thought of a rest for
ones self thing impossible
The number of such over wrought men,
who simply toll right on without so
much as two weeks respite year, Is
surprisingly large.
Grateful wives and children should see,
then, that these cheerful and unselish
fathers and brothers do not work them
selves TO death Signs Of failing
strength and nervous weakness, that
none SO quickly detect as they, should be
promptly and firmly combatted A
thorough feeding of worn-out nervous
tissues by PAines celery compound soon
does away with every form of nervous

celery compound, supplies rich material
for the repair Of all the nerve tissues.
L. makes the thin, used up blood gain
capable of feeding the system, and puri
fts it OF all humors that work harm to
the body.
There are countless men so absorbed In
business that they disregard the indica-
tons of nervous weakness and think that
their neuralgia, headaches and rheuma
tism are tribes 1t is the duty of those
members of the household who see this
gradual decline from health to insist on
building up OF the run down" system
and strengthening of the nerves aud
brain by vigorous tonic like Paine's eel
cry compound.
In every city in this country there are
homes that have escaped sickness and

NEW HAVEN, Nov. 1A-The long talk
ed of match between tho champion uni
versity boat crows Of England and Amer
lea will in all probability DO arranged for
1895. Bob Cook, the creator Of Yale's
now unquestioned aquatic supremacy in
this country, is in England, and while he
did not 20 there for tho express purpose
Of making q match IL is part Of his busi-
ness there TO confer with Oxford authori-
ties and to reach some practical and
equitable basis upon which q match could
be made
The successful visit Of tho Yale ath-
letes to England last summor-su successful
in spite Of defeat-has fostered tho spirit
OF internationalsm Back Of that is q
desire, old as college athletics in Ameri-
on, on the part Of American youths to
measure strength with their English
cousins. 10 has always been considered
that tho test which would command the
largest amount Of interest on both sides
of the ocean would DO at tho oars
Mr.. Cook is Of the opinion that it would
be better TO base tho match in April In
that case great deal Of negotiating would
be involved, as the whole rowing pro-
grammo on this side would have to be re-
vised Still It ia not impossible to mako
the arrangements for n meeting in April
LATER It would be more to the advantage
OF the Americans.
Nothing has been heard from Mr.. Cook
since his departure but he,will rotnrn
about Dec. and lay the result OF his con-
ference and observations before the Yale
authorities. Manlfestly there are many
difficulties In tho way of match, but
with willingness TO make concessions
on both sides and bona fide effort TO get
together all these may be overcome Mr.

New YorE nanI.ers Annrove.

New YORK, Nov. 14.-The following
arc some of tho opinions of prominent
bankers of this city in regard to the bond
issue:
II believe" said Mr.. Henry Clews,
THAT the time is an opportune one to
make the government loan, and IL would
have boon very unwiso to have deferred
1t until the export of gold had got thor
oughly under way, which Is inevitable as
we near spring, for in that event re-
Spouse TO the loan would not have boon
in exchange for gold what it will be now.
Besides the next session of congress will
be very likely not only not to pass a bond
bill, but instead pass resolution declar-
ing the existing law did not invest the
government with authority to dispose of
bonds which would place the goyornemnt
in serious financial straits .
Tho entire issue will probably be
largely oversubscribed, said Mr.. Fred
orick ID. Happen, president Of the Gallntin
National bank. Tho sale OF the bonds
will lower the rate Of exchange and bring
some gold from Europe"
Congressman Joseph c. Hendrix, pres
ident Of the National Union bank, said:
The issue of bonds will be timely, help
full to the general situation, tonic to
our finances and an earnest to the for
eigner that we are ready at all times to
use our credit TO buttress our currency
system. The broad public policy of do
ing this sort Of thing at the time when it
will do great good overshadows the tech
nical objection that perhaps we might
worry along without IT,
E. o. Leach, former director of the
mint. expressed himself as favoring the
issue. II believe it would be an act of
the highest patriotism and of the best
business Judgment for the president to
strengthen the gold reserve by the issue
Of additional government bonds
Il don't see how any other course could
be pursued, said A. b. Hepburn, from
the fact that the expenditures of the gov
eminent are exceeding its income The
strengthening Of tho gold reserve, which is
synonymous with placing the credit OF
the government beyond question, is a
condition precedent to the restoration OF
credit and confidence throughout the
country -

WASHINGTON, Nov Secretary Car

made in the present call from that issued

for the present issue must be sealed.
IL is confidently expected at the treas

BIO realized considerably in excess Of that
received from tho February issue. This
expectation is based upon the fact that
there are exceptionally large amounts of
money now lying idle and seeking invest
