A peculiar and unknown crank has
arrived in Doylestown. Pa. He is not
a bomb-thrower, inventor. or political
economist, but INDUCES in the pastime
of sending money through the mails
TO residents of the town. 1t may be
possible the crank is a woman. and
! the mystery surrounding the philan-
! thropic individual has created a great
/ deal of talk here. Mrs. Mary Selser
who lives on York street. received an
envelope containing a 81 bill the other
day, accompanied by note signed "A
Friend but without explaining why
the money had been sent. Mrs. Miriam
Watson, of Main street, daughter of
the late Judge Watson, received a
similar envelope some time later con-
tanning 81. The next donation was
sent to Miss Helen Du Bots, of Court
street, the crank presenting her with
Sc. Thomas White, a storekeeper on
Main street, found a letter containing
81 bill in the postoffice last week. and
the same sum was sent to Henry
Beidler and William Hoffman, both
well-known residents of the town.
The people to whom the crank has
sent money thus far are well-to-do and
apparently there is no motive for this
display of generosity. 1t is believed by
many that the mysterious individual
is a woman. The handwriting on the
envelopes might have been written by
a woman, though it is rather mascu-
line. and evidently that Of an educated
person The letters were all mailed
at the Doylestown postoffice. The do
nations have been distributed so rap

LONELINESS

detracts from the effect of pleasing

Formerly when the filling or extract
ing of a tooth was accompanied by
pain, there was reason for the timid
and sensitive to be negligent of that
most needful part of ones anatomy.
Today the filling or extracting of
tooth can be accomplished without
pain and with comparative comfort to
the patient. Among the advances of
modern dentistry none have been
hailed with greater pleasure than that
branch known as painless dentistry"

once painful are now performed pain
lessly. DR.. Kuester has investigated

lieutenant of engineers and has steadily
risen through all the intermediate
grades until he at last stands on the
very top round Of the ladder. Before
the war he was engaged in engineering
duties connected with the defenses Of
the Atlantic coast. In August, 1859, he
was assistant professor of engineering
at the Military academy and served un-
til June, 1868, when he took the field
as engineer to General Morgan's divi-
sion, Army Of the Ohio, engaged in the
defense of Cumberland Gap, Tenn.
At the close Of the war he was brevet-
ted lieutenant colonel for faithful and
meritorious services, and since then his
engineering feats have given him a high
reputation among the men Of his craft.
One Of his most notable projects was
the improvement Of the Great Kanawha
river. The object of the work was te
give the river a depth of not less than
six feet all the year around, SO that the
vast coal deposits Of the Kanawha valley
would be more accessible. The desired
end was accomplished by building {
series of locks and dams at an expense
Of about O., 600, 600.
Another great achievement was hi.
work in increasing the depth of the har
Dor Of Baltimore from II feet at meal
low water to % feet, so hat the heavi
est ships could approach and leave TIN
city wharves with full cargoes. The i'm
provement cost 81, 800, 900 and was O
