Geese After Boomers.

An event of considerable curious
interest took place in the village of
Matamoras, N. j., on Sunday. A
young woman, one of the new"
women in point Of fact, for she was
wearing breeches or boomers, rode
into the town upon a bicycle. Hardly
had she reached the village green
when she was set upon by flock of
geese, who seized her breeches, pulled
her from her wheel, and continued
the assault until the villagers came to
the rescue and drove the geese away
This occurrence will be viewed diff
ferently by the old woman and the
new woman. The old woman, not
old in years, but to distinguish her
from the new woman, will say at once
that these geese are lineal descendants
of
Those consecrated geese, in orders,
That to the capitol were warders,
And being then upon patrol,
With noise alone beat off the Gaul."
That these geese, inheriting the
tradition of their ancestors who beat
of the barbarians, thinking a woman
with breeches on must be barbarian,
assailed her accordingly But this is
a far-fetched idea. 1t goes to show.
however, to what lengths the old
woman will go in denouncing this
form of attire.
The new woman, on the other hand,
admits that the geese attacked the
young lady's breeches, and declare
that no one but a goose would have
done it, The present bicycling cos
tune, they. say, is simply the revival
Of old fashions. The ladies in THE
Arabian Nights wore trousers, and
there is good authority to show that
the fashion dates back to the begin
ming and was set by Eve herself, the
mother of all living. IN one of the
early English TRANSACTIONS of. the
Bible, known as the "Breeches Bible, =
we are told Of Adam and Eve that
Tie eyes Of them bottle were opened,
and they sewed fgge-tree leaves to-
getherand made themselves brooches. z
The custom, therefore, is an old one,
and eeersince the days Of Eve the
women III many families. where they
have not actually worn tie breeehes,
wore them in a figurative sense, and
do SO even unto. this day. 1t IS too
latesto raise the standard against this
soiaycustoms although some do con.
tend that u IS custom more honored
in the breech than in the observance.
A recent judicial decision in Arkansas
sustains the right of women in that
State to wear breeches, one so attired
having been arrested Baltimore Sun.

WHY NOTP

1.-The Martin Proctor election contest
has not yet been disposed of. After
being beaten once, Martin is making
second contest upon the grounds Of
illegality of some votes cast for Proc
tor. Statesman.
Why does our friend fret ? If no
illegal votes were cast Mr.. Martin
will not be seated. There are those
who think some Democrats voted in
the First ward who had no right to
do so, and there certainly can be no
objection to .ascertaining that fact
If Mr.. Martin was not elected he does
not want the Office, neither do his
friends want him to have it. On the
other hand, if he was elected, he
would not be doing the. fair thing by
his constituents if he failed to employ
every means in his power to secure
that which the legal voters of the
ward declared by their acts should be
his.
No unfair means can be resorted to,
as the courts will most likely be call
ed upon 10 pass upon the case. Then
why should not the investigation be
had
1t may be our neighbor has fears Ct
the result. We therefore beg to as
sure him that nothing in the nature
of the tsee business, or Wetzel County
ballot scratching, or A. B. Fleming
infamy, or Wellinger subterfuge, OF
Huntington rascality shall be resorted
to. Such schemes are the private
property of Democrats like the editor
Of the Statesman and their rights
shall not be infringcd upon.
Mr.. Martin is not making a @oona
contest. The former proceeding was
the action OF Mr.. Proctor He played
his inning and why should. not Mr.,
Martin have al opportunity to score
point if he is able to do so

Democratic statisticians and news
papers have expatiated at great length
recently on the prosperous condition OF
the tin plate industry in this country
under existing tariff laws. They
have also rejoiced over the partial res
toration of wages to workers in iron.
They failed to note the fact that all
is not gold that glitters; that as the
price of iron advances the profits on
tin plate must necessarily diminish.
This being true manufacturers of tin
plate are now confronted with the Sc
rious fact that it is scarcely possible
for them to longer compete with the
Welsh and that as they cannot ad-
vance rates there is nothing for them
to do but close their mills and yield
to the inevitable Again we have a
repetition of the oft repeated axiom
that American manufacturers must be
protected by American law or else
come down to the level of wages paid
in foreign countries.

THE TIME HAS COME.
It Has Been Neglected
 Far Too Lono.
The Spring Is the Time For You
 To Look Out For Yourself.
Symptoms at This Season You Must Heed
 to Keep We'll.

Most serious are those diseases affecting the liver and kidneys. The very thought of them sends a thrill of horror through the body. When the kidneys cannot work death must result.
 The symptoms pointing to weak or dis eased kidneys are, headache, pain or weak ness in the back, bloating. changes in the water, tired feeling. loss of appetite. gas in the stomach, indigestion. dyspepsia. dimness of vision, changes in the skin, sleeplessness and nervousness.
 Here is a most remarkable cure of liver and kidney disease.
 Mrs 0. R. Joyaer, who resides at l9 Chapel street, Westheld. Mass. states:
 II was troubled with severe kidney trouble and indigestion. that Gavc me a nervous. trembling feeling. and l could not sleep very we'll. l used to wear plas- ters to relieve that miserable weakness in my kidneys. My liver was also in bad condition.
 Early in the spring I was feeling SC miserable that decided to try pr Greene's Nervura blood and nerve remedy. Up to this time have taken two bottles, and il has done all for me that represent, and DO one who sees and knows me, will doubt a word of what say. I have lived in this town thirty years
 "Now my health and strength are re stored, as I do not have one pain about me, I can eat anything wish. and an not bothered with the gas in my stomach don't even wear plaster now. and don't have that tired, heavy feeling in going up stairs. and to express myself. can al most skip up and down. and am very thank ful, for few can say it who have passed their seventy years.

Waterbury evening Democrat., 1895-03-28

This great world r,nowntd d preparation, Dr Greene's vervura blood and nerve rem sdy, goes directly to the weakened or dis eased organs and cures them. Its curative action on the liver and kidneys is quick and certain. It makes strong nerves, aud pure, rich blood, which is just what you most need.
 Now in the spring is the very best time to take it because liver and kidney dis eases, ss well as nearly all other affections, are more easily and quickly cured now than at any other season. The liver and kidneys are always inactive in the spring, after the Ions, cold winter, and to keep perfectly well everybody should use Dr Greene's nervura blood md nerve remedy as a spring medicine.
 It is not A patent medicine. but the pre- scIiption of the most successful living specialist in curing nervous and chronic diseases, Dr Greene of 35 West 14th St New York City. He has the largest prac tice in the world, and this grand medical discovery is the result of his vast experi ence. The great reputation of Dr Greene | is a guarantee that this medicine will cure and that the flct that he can be consulted by anyone at any time free of charge. per sonAllv or by letter, gives absolute assur ance of the beneficial action of this won | derful medicine.
