LITERARY NOTES.

Mr.. Kjpling's st Nicholas" story OF the jewelled
Death and it's guardian, the white Cobra Is
remarkable bit of work. There is a creeping hor-
ror In the scene in the ruined vault, where the
great lvid creature watches the treasure OF long
buried kings; and the evil fortune that marches
uith the big ruby makes impression quite

THE circumstances surrounding the fire on
East Coal street should mcite the officials of
the fire department to make more thorough
investigations Of places after fires have been
extinguished, or supposed to have been.
Developments in the case show conclusively
that the fremen did not have knowledge OF
the cause of the fire that they should have
had when they first left the factory, and that
the information could have been CLEANED had
the defective fue been examined carefully
from top to bottom. The danger Of leaving
fire lurking as it was in this case cannot be
estimated. Fortunately none Of the out
breaks of the four that occurred secured
much headway as the immediate vicinity is
crowded by frame dwellings and large
three-story factory which would have been
within reach of outpouring flames would
have made big blaze.

AN ILLINOIS MYSTERY.
Probable Murder OF CoIored Woman
and Her Infant child.

anu heE Anthnb Chllds
MOLINE, Ills, Aug. 16.-what seems to
be double murder has thrown the little
village of Gordova, twenty miles up the
river, into fever Of excitement On Sun
day boatman on the river discovered the
body of oolored woman and towed 1t
ashore. She was apparently 2S years old
and was thought to be a cook or chamber
maid on one of the river boats Nothing
was found on her person to reveal her
identity, barring spoon, excepting a
photograph of colored man recognized
as Charles Jones, cook of the steamer Sid
ney. The steamers officers reported a
chambermaid missing.
Later a farmers wife near Cordova
recognized the body as that of woman
who had previously called in company
with a colored man and infant and had
been given food, and also identified the
spoon as one she had given the child at
the same time. On Tuesday night a
bundle of child's clothing was found
partly buried in the ground near the
place where the woman's body was dis
covered. Shortly after q mound of sand
was opened, and five inches below the sur
face was found the body of male child
(colored), IS months old, with its head
crushed and arms and leg broken, appar.
emily stamped to death in the sand and
hastily buried A colored man, supposed
to be the one seen with the woman, bought
ticket at Cordova for Chicago. He dis
! played several $50 gold pieces. Detectives
are doing everything possible to solve the
| mystery.

LOSS OF ,OOOl!!

Labor-saying inventions or discoveries
have often been violently opposed on the
ground that they take workingmen's bread
out of their mouths. Although experience
has shown the fallacy of that theory the
feeling, or fear, was natural
But il is not so much the lack of work as
the inability to work that causes poverty and
suffering In England and Wales every
workingman averages ten days of sickness
every year, with total loss of wages for all
of about $50, ,000 600 per year. In this coun-
try the loss is much greater. In all countries
the prevailing disease is indigestion and dys-
pcpsia and its cunsequenccs-suCh as rhCuma-
tism, and other ailments resulting from i'm
pure blood; a result of dyspepsia.
No thorough, rapid and trustworthy cure
for this universal and obstinate malady cX-
listed until the Mt. Lebanon On. W Com
munity of Shakers placed upon the market
their now famous remedy called the Shaker
Digestive Cordial II is prepared from roots
and herbs cultivated solely by them Moth
ing more certain, safe and palatabe can be
imagined 1t cXpel5 the impurities from the
body by means of the bowels, kidneys and
skin, and imparts vigor and tone to the
Stomach-upon whose proper action all our
strength, activity and endurance depends.
For many years the Shakers have given
earnest attention to this subject, and their
final success is thankfully admitted by the
multiudes who have been cured by the
Cordial after all other means have failed.
Their high reputation for skill as herbalists,
for honesty and religious sincerity guaran-
tees whatever they recommend.
No invention can ever take your work
from you if you are able to work. Health
and strength are the vital considerations.
In order to find whether the Shaker Di-
gestive Cordial is adapted to your case try a
small bottle. Its effect is immediate. For
sale by nearly all druggists.

THE School Board has done very sensible
thing in awarding the Jardin street school
pavement contract to two of our townsmen.
1t is proper at all times for public officials to
have work done at as little expense to the
taxpayers as possible, but where bids for
work are asked for and some are received
from non-residents of the town it is also pro-
per for the officials to exercise their discre-
ton as far as it is consistent with the encOur-
agement of home industry and economy. A
nonresident may offer TO do work for little
less than the home people, but the amount
saved would be comparatively Insignificant TO
the amount put in circulation at home if the
work is done by residents of the town, and a
home circulation of half, or more, Of con-
tract price is of greater benefit to the tax
payers than the saving of small margin
on transaction. In one case the bulk
of the money goes out of the town and
none of the taxpayers feel its benefit again.
1t does not require the ability of mathema.
tician to prove the benefit of home contracts
For instance, take the case of the recently
awarded contract for making the water con
nections. The contractors and all the mer
they employ are residents of the town. Not
a cent of the $1,000 or $4,000 that may b,
involved, except so much as is required Il
purchase material not manufactured here, il
spent outside of it, Compare this genera
saving or circulation as it were, with tn,
money that was spent, nt,propOrtionately in thu
town while the public water works were con
structed, and you have the answer,

eral, Henry NJ Clabaugh of Baltimore;

THE CASE AGAINST HOLMES.

Efforts t0 Remove the Accused Man TO
Chicago for Trial.
PHILADELPHIA Aug. l6-Attorney w.
A. Capps, the Fort Worth attorney, who
is here in the interest of the heirs of the
Williams estate, had a long conference
with District Attorney Graham which
may completely change the course the
local authorities intended to pursue in the
prosecution of H. H. Mudgett alias
Holmes, the supposed murderer of the
two Williams girls.
Attorney Capps is convinced that Min
ME and Mamie Williams came to their
death at the hands of Holmes in Chicago
He believes he has sufficient evidence to
show that Holmes killed the girls for their
brought to trial on the charge of murder
ing them, and to this end he will use ef-
forts with the district attorney. AS is we'll
known, District Attorney Graham is anX-
ious that Holmes be tried in that locality
where there will be the least doubt of his
conviction on a capital charge.
The detectives on the case are cencen-
trating all their energies in Chicago. At
torney Capps believes that Holmes can be
convicted there. So do Detective Geyer
and the Fidelity insurance inspectors.
1t is likely that before snow falls Holmes
viii have cleared the dust of Moyamensing
prison from his feet to take up his quar-
ters in Jail in Chicago, there to await trial
Tor his alleged bloodthirsty deeds.
