DISILLUSIONED.
A shock fo-the Young Man Who
Promised to Give Up Cigars.

Promised to Give Up Cigars.
ut is a sad thing to discover that
ones idols are made of common
clay" said a philosophical young
person between the acts at the mat
inee the other afternoon, says tile
New York World. But it is sad Ter
to know that some idolizer has found
you to be an ordinary mortal and
not goddess"
Has any. one made that inter-
esting discovery in regard to your"
asked her companion.
Yes, and the discovery was made
so painfully. You know, in the pre-
historic period, when 1 was just
emerging from the school room,
felt that it was womans duty to
influence the men of her acquaint-
ance. In the course of time 1 had
my first proposal, and, although 1
was obliged to say nay to the young
mans request, felt that here was a
chance to elevate him. So, telling
him of my purely sisterly regard for
him, I begged him to give up the
vile habit of smoking. He promised.
Well, time passed on, and I had al
most forgotten him, when my BROTH
er Dick brought him home the other
night He had been away for years,
and had always cherished his sweet
and lovely memory of me in white
party gown, with an angelic express
sion of countenance, begging him not
to smoke And Dick brought him
out into my little den where F'lossie
and l were smoking! My dear, the
expression of utter establishment
on that mans face almost persuaded
me to give up the alluring cigarette.
But wasn't it funny2"

Municipal Charity.

The regular monthly meeting of the
board of charities and corrections was
held Monday evening. The reports from,
the various departments show January
to have been a peculiarly hard month
on the city's poor, and an imm@lse
amount of work done by the board.
The number of individuals assisted
during the month was ASP, and the
cost of the department was A,434. %.
City Physician Weston reported that he
had 1903 patients under his care, and
that 721 outdoor visits had been made
by himself and assistants. The depart
ment cost $2,129.73 during the month,
and the workhouse cost 81, 1872
C. c. Nordeck was appointed guard
at the workhouse and Elizabeth Owre
nurse at the city hospital.
There have been several complaints
concerning the quality of the wood sup
piled by the poor department. 1t is
claimed that it is wet and frozen, and
though far superior to the article fur
nished last winter, is hardly fit for fuel
until it has been dried. Rufus Roberts,
the city Weigher, in a communication
address $4>to the board, called attention
to this state of affairs, but no action
was taken last night.

HOW He ROBBED THE LADY.
Snecial to the Globe.

MILWAUKEE, Wis, Feb. r.
Harry Hayward, now on trial at
Minneapolis on the charge of having
murdered Miss Catherine Cling for
her life insurance, is believed to
be the man who had swindled Mrs.
Theresa Sherbrooke, a widow who
conducts a boarding house in this
city, out of $1,000 in March, 1888.
Several months before that time a
young man of pleasant appearance
and manners engaged rooms at the
Widows boarding house. He gave
his name as Harry HightoWer, and
represented that he was a member
of the firm Of Hightower. & Hall
man, wholesale grocers of Atlanta,
Ga. After he had been at the house
for several months he told the Wom-
an that his father had just died,
and left him a large fortune but that
he could not secure the inheritance
he had $4,000 of that amount, and
that if she would loan him $1,000 he
would pay her $4,000 for the favor
when he secured the inheritance.
He showed her bank books from ST.
Paul banks, and told her to write to
his firm, Hightower & Hallman, at
Atlanta, for references. She did SO,
and in few days received an an
swer purporting to come from
wholesale grocery firm, that High
tower was worth considerable money
since his father died, and that he
was an honest man. The 81 200 was
given Hightower, who departed for
the South, and several days after he
left Mrs. Sherbrooke received a let
ter dated Savannah, Ca, signed by
Hightower, and informing her that
he had secured his fortune and was
coming to Milwaukee to pay her
back the loan. That was the last
seen or heard of the swindler. The
police investigated in Atlanta, and
learned that Hightower had accom-
plices there, and that no such firm as
HightoWer & Mailman existed. The
victim of the sharper has seen Hay
wards picture, and believes that he
is the man who swindled her. The
description of HightoWer and Hay
ward tally.

BuRLlNoToN's LATEST FIRE.
A MAN BURNED TO DEATH AND MUCH
PROPERTY DESTROYED.

PROPERTY DESTROYED.
The worst fire in the history of Bur.
lington broke out at 4 80 o'clock Tues
day morning in the shaving shed be-
longing to j. r. Booth, and connected
with his planning mill. Before the fire
was under control. three hours later,
Booths planning mill. retail shed, box
factory, sash. blind and door shops, the
Baldwin Refrigerator Co.'S factory, the
Vermont Shade Roller Co.'S factory, and
old foundry used for storing lumber. an
engine and boier-house and long shed
used for storage were entirely consumed,
II buildings in all being burned.
About 100 men are thrown out of en-
plOyment bv the fire. The total loss is
about S200,0 900, with insurance of Sl2G,-
600. The Baldwin Refrigerator Co. mill
was burned, but their large storehOuse,
filled with refrgeratOis, was saved, so
that they will be able to fill orders with
very little delay, having secnred quarters
in other mills. The refrigerator com
pany's loss is covered by an Insurance of
S24.500.
During the fire William l.. Millington
lost his life in the building occupied by
the Vermont Shade Roller company. He
entered the office, with others, to try
and save some of the books. He was
overcome by the smoke. His charred
body was found in the ruins of the
Office.
The fire is believed to have been of
incendiary origin. 1t Is considered
doubtful whether Mr.. Booth will re-
build the mills. The shade roller com
pany will probably rebuild, as will the
Baldwin Refrigerator company, who will
be ready for business in few days.

THOUSANDS MADE HAPPY WITH FIG
CORDIAL.
THE TRUE FRUIT LAXATIVE. DESIRABLE
FOR LITTLE ONES.


OF all the preparations advertised to
keep the bowels IN a natural condition,
Fig Cordial is certainly the best. Ply
sycians, mothers and the public verify
this statement
DIR. b. w. Carpenter of Burlington, VT,
says that Fig Cordial has been known
and highly valued by him for more than
thirty years, and that it Is all that can be
desired in the way of mild, safe and at
the same time effective "tonic laxative"
AS no secret of the formula is made. he
believes that when it is more widely
known by the medical profession it
will be universally prescribed for consti-
patton.
Mrs. S. w. Griffin of Winooski, VT,
writes that she desires to testify to the
virtues of Fig Cordial for constipation.
She says she has been troubled with it
for "A number of years, and has tried many
remedies, but never found anything to
help her until she tried Fig Cordial. Mrs.
Griffin also tells us that she finds her
whole system has been wonderfully toned
up by the use of Fig Cordial, which goes
to prove that it differs from the ordinary
cathartics by being tonic laxative, not
only gently working upon the bowels
and curing constipation, but toning up
lIle whole Syteln. NOtnlnS can tAke the
place of Fig Cordial tor children. 1t is
such gentle laxative that it can be taken
freely by the little ones, and the result is
marvellous.
Prof. S. w. LandOn. principal of the
Burlington High School, says that it
gives him pleasure to say strong words
in recommendation of Fig Cordial. He
says he has used it with his children with
marvelOusly favorable results, relieving
almost Immediately a very stubborn case.
Col. G. S. Forbes of the Boston Jour
nal has used tine preparation, and found
it very beneficial TO him.
g. w. Marshall of Burlington. Vt,
says that his little Roy after using less
than bottle of Fig Cordial was entirely
cured.
DR.. A. p. Grinnell. Dean of the Medical
faculty of the University of Vermont,
says: 81 have no hesitation in saying
that have made use of Fig Cordial in
my family, and in general practice, and
! find it useful when laxative or mild ca
thartic is required. The formula is right
Fig Cordial is for sale by all the lead
ing druggists in Middlebury in large bot
ties, retailing for 80 cents and 81.

The government at Washington has
altogether too much diplomatic business
on hand for the comfort of the officials
chiefly concerned. Spain has been asked
to apologize because one of its gunboals
chased and fired at an American ship of
CUBA last week. Minister Thurston, the
representative of the Hawaiian govern
at the capital, has misbehaved according
TO Secretary Gresham's notion, and his
recall has been requested. The English
are making themselves obnoxious to us
by their dealings with the peoples of
Central and South America, and will
probably need to be warned to 90 slow.
