1t is Free, but Worth a Fortune.

And it is worth a fortune because it is
the means of giving health and strength
to the weak and complaing-to you,
reader The following splendid propo-
sitiOn is made by DR.. Greene, of 81 TEN
pie Place, Boston, Mass, the most sue.
cessful specialist in curing nervous and
chronic diseases. Write him a letter,
tell him just how you feel, and he will
answer it free of charge, explaining your
case so thoroughly that you will at once
understand exactly what your complaint
is. Every letter receives his most care
full attention, he explains every symptom
telling just what to do to be cured, and
for all this he charges nothing.
He is the discOverer of that wonderful
medicine, DR.. Greene's Nervura blood
and nerve remedy, which is doing such
enormous good among the suffering.
This is the opportunity of a lifetime for
everyone, especially those living at
distance from large cities, to consult, en-
tirely free, the most eminent and sue
cessful of specialists. No fee to pay and
no journey to make. The doctor makes
a speciality of treating patients through
letter correspondence, and you cannot
do better than write him at once. You
will without doubt be made strong and
well by doing so. Thousands of others
have. Don't delay.

has been raised in recent years. 1t isn't
likely to lose him single vote.-ProYi-

Fort Ethan Allen ought to be use
full object lesson, not only to our Yankee
volunteers, but to the Queens troops over
the border. 1t isn't every day that our
red coat friends have chance to pay a

diers who have burned powder in ear
nest
Other Democratic leaders besides
Chairman Wilson are ON the ragged edge
of defeat. Mr.. Springer and Mr.. Holman,
too, are liable to loose their reelection.
1t would be grand thing for the busi-
ness of the country if all three could be
remanded to inocuous desuetude.
The difference between two men and
their economic principles, the Peoria
Transcript says, is seen in the fact that
in 1890 Mckinley was burned in effigy in
England, while in 1894 Wilson was ban
quoted in London. One was roasted, the
other toasted.-Worceste Spy.

Y. NJ. c. A. Notes.

The gymnasium is popular place.
Where it was a rare thing a year or so
ago to find men exercising more than
twice week, it is rare now not to find
them at work about every night.
The increased attendance at the rooms
give evidence of increased popularity of
the Association.
The support given by citizens amounts
to about 81 200 year. Young men are
waking up to the investment of these
friends.
Our new room is handsome. 1t is soon
to be formally opened as club room-a
a place of retirement for men where they
can enjoy themselves with such restraint
however consistent with Y. NJ. G. A.
dignity
The Boys League meeting was post
poned Monday on account of the absence
of the director. 1t will meet as usual
Monday. At a late meeting the newly
elected officers were kind enough to
treat the members to cream, cake and

ed the occa sion. Every preparation was
carried out by them. The League is one
of the most prosperous boys societies
known. A new man joins Monday even
ing. Others are on the way.

others to remember is our meeting Sun

A favorite argument of free traders,
says the Boston Journal, is that the At
lantic Ocean affords American industry
all the natural protection" which it re-
quires, and that tariff duties represent
simply so much bonus. Apropos of
this, the Boston Commercial Bulletin re-
lates that recently consignment of
River Platte wool was received by Bos-
ton dealer, the ocean freight on which
amounted to Sl2.14. But the charges
for teaming and wharfage in Boston
amounted to $1475. In other words it
costs less to bring the wool to Boston
than it did to cart it from the wharf to
Federal street after it arrived here. Per-
haps some of our tariff reformers" will
kindly figure out just how much natural
protection there was in this instance.

Possibly, and probably, the demand
which buyers are making to-day for still
lower prices may result in an advantage
to the consumer, but it will take time
before it is realized, and the loss in
wages and earning capacity will more
than offset any gain which may accrue
from the reduction. The masses will
find they have been deceived when they
were told that prices were to be cut in
have or greatly reduced-the reduction
has been made at the wrong end. 1t has
been taken out of the earning capacity,
and the man who has had his wages cut
20 to 25 per cent. finds that the cost of
living has not been reduced proportion

Adjt. Gen. Kelton estimates that the
army desertlons of the past 25 years have
cost the country the enormous sum of
S23, 100000, including the pay, clothing,
subsistence and transportation of the
culprits, most of whom ran away before
they had rendered any service, and the
expenses of enlisting other men to take
their places. In the year 1886, 2O9O
Uuited States soldiers deserted, in 1887,
224O, in 1888, 2436 and in 1885, 1885. But
happily that year marks the maximum.
Ever since then the number of desertions
has been pretty steadily decreasing, due
in large part, no doubt, to wholesome
reforms introduced by Secretary Proc.
tor. This year there have been only
1913 desertiOns the smallest number re.
corded for long time.

The Court of Appeals of New York
has handed down decision which is of
great Importance to farmers and to tele-

State, and should be good law elsewhere.
1t is in effect that the country highways
are the property of farmers whose hold
ings adjoin the roads, and that no tele-

right to erect poles along the road with
out first having obtained the consent of
the resident property owners.

One of the correspondents of the Free
Press says: NOW that The election of
superintendent of education has been
postponed again to what better use can
the Legislature devote the intervening
period than to thorough investigation
of the ballot box stuffing of 1892, to the
end that the people may know how much
the present superintendent gained or
lost by that crime, or by its timely dis
covery?

Ambassador Bayard is frank in a re-

absence from his post for active cleo
