The weather yesterday was all that
could have been desired, and the formal
dedication of the Masonic home was
great success, and fully 10000 people
are estimated to have been on the
grounds during the day. The program
was carried out in all its details sue

and refreshments for the thousands
present. 1t was a great day for Wall

The body of Richard Reinhardt, who
committed suicide in Holyoke Tuesday
night by shooting himself with a re-

a. resident of this town for several
years and worked at lathing. He was a
member of Arthur H. Dutton post, G.
A. r. About a year ago he was taken
violently insane and tried to end his
life by taking poison. He was taken
to the Middletown retreat for treat
ment. He leaves wife and one daugh-

pAINE'S CELERY COMPOUND.
An Absolute Cure for the Worst Gases
Of RhematiSH.

The Plain Language of Mr.. Oscar
Pike-rhe Greatest of All Remedies
Accomplished His Cure After Many
Months of Weakness and Suffering
No Tedious Waiting for Improves
ment.
Paines celery compound is the one
known specific for the cure of rheuma-
tism.
And 1t does not need a tedious trial
to prove it.
The effect of this best of remedies
is straightway felt
Not week goes by before the pains
of rheumatism diminish.
Thousands of men and women have
| told of the days and nights of pain and
| feebleness exchanged in a few weeks
for activity and strength.
Paines celery compound has won the
reputation of being the remedy "that
makes people we'll" Its good works
extend from Oregon to Maine. In every
state in the Union there has been piled
mails, a tremendous amount of indis-
putable evidence of the curative power
of Paine's celery compound over all
forms of nervous debility and diseases
| of the blood. 1t cures after natures
plan, by affording nutrition for every
part of the body, overhauling the worm
out tissues, and supplying new brain
| and nerve material, sending pure blood
through the veins, invigorating the
whole system, and removing the cause
| of disease.
Mr.. Oscar Pike, a, well known resi-
| dent of Princeton, Maine, recently sent
the following unsolicited letter to the
proprietors of this wonderful remedy:
| Two years ago l was, taken sick with
what the doctors called the grip. / was
improving when took on a violent
cold and chill. Then rheumatism set
| in, first in the joints of my shoulders,
then down my hands and arms, then all
over. Feet, hands and legs swelled
I could not put my hand to my head;
could not throw the clothes off from
| me; could not dress or undress myself,
nor get out of my chair without help.
For year and a half tried all kinds
of medicines and sarsa parillas, with lit
| tie or no relief. I was 73 years old
| Some one told me to try Paine's celery
compound. After / had taken three
bottles 1 found a marked improve
ment. I have now taken twelve bottles,
and the result is eat and sleep well,
do my own work, and go about as usu-
al, getting in and out of my carriage
without help. have been tempted to
put an article in the local paper for the
benefit of those that are afflicted as
have been"
Mr.. Pike is well known in his locali-
ty. He is the founder and president of
the North Washington Agricultural
Society and Trotting Association. When
he goes for his mail, he says, people
ask him what he has been doing that
he is improving so Of late, and he an

LErom the urn.l

1t Is asserted by those who pander
more to the prejudlces OF the masses
than endeavor to form a proper public
opinion that there are doubts whether
the cremation of the dead will ever be-
come popular, and to dispel this belief
the Lancaster Examiner argues as fol-
lows:
THAT the scientific method Of dis
posing of the dead will be slow Of adop-
tion is most true, but that it WIN never
come is contrary to all past history.
Science and the rational spirit move
with slow pace, but with sure tread.
1T should be remembered that the law
OF gravitation was not accepted, but
was denounced as infidel for seventy
three years after the death of Newton
the one who made the great discovery.
The accounts of the English eXchequer
were kept by notches on a stick for
one hundred years after the art OF book
keeping was discovered. The motion
of the earth around the sun and the
sphericity of the earth were denounced
hundreds of years after the death of
Copernicus and Columbus. 1t took us
just fifty years to establish our pres
ent decimal system of money. The
metric system of weights and meas
ures, the only sensible one, was author
ized by congress thirty years ago, and
it may require q hundred more before
1t will become a matter of common use.
why, after a hundred years Of expert
ence and trial the fallacy of cheap
money is just as rampant to-day as
it was before the Shay's rebellion. In
fact Gresham promulgated his great

In this ending of the nineteenth CEN
tury. When one reviews the history of
mankind he finds that superstitions die
hard and that the evolution of progress,
as the great Chatham said of conf
dence, is a plant of slow growth How
any one can logically and nationally
advocate the erection of public crema-
forum to consume the dead matter of
our streets in the interests of public
health, and yet demand that the dis
eased bodies of the human family
should be placed in the earth to menace
future generations, is hard to see. I'm
happily many men are Illogical, and
for this reason it will be a long time
before cremation is an established Gus
ton; but that it will come is as sure
as any other fact established by science
