Paine's celery compound is not a
patent medicine.
No class Of professional men are
more conservative, more careful in
giving advice, or more painstaking in
finding out the real facts Of case
than physicians.
Their recommendation In matters
with which they are convcrsant is
trustworthy. When physicians of
known repute not only prescribe and
use, but also bring home Paine's cell
cry compound for their own families,
there can be no doubt of its high
standing in the eyes Of medical men
in general.
This is what busy, successful prac-
titioners are doing these spring days
all over the country
Paine's celery compound is pre-
pared, as they all well know, from
the formula of the foremost physician
Of this century, Prof. Edward L,
Phelps, M. d., LII. D., of Dartmouth
medical school. Among medical
men there is an absolute certainty as
to just what Paine's celery compound
is capable OF doing. The careful
record OF the vast number OF cases
where 1t has made people well has
been published in the medical jour
mails Of the country.
Paine's celery compound stands to-

They declare that it gives the tired

frightened housekccper. In the cab,
however, she first turned faint, and

that years Of the convontionalties of
life could not teach me to know her
sweet, brave nature as had this one
day Of strange experiences Yet there
were two thoughts which sealed the
words Of affection upon my lips, She
was weak and helpless, shaken in mind
and nerve, 1t was to take her MT dis
advantage to obtrude love upon her at
such u time. Worse, still she was
rich. II Holmes researches were sue

such thought should cross her mind,
This Agra treasure interviewed like IN

1t was nearly two o'clock when we
reached Mrs, Cecil Forrestcr's. Tho
servants had retired hours ago, bu.
Mrs Forester had been so interested
by the strange message which Miss
Morstan had received that she had sat
up in the hope Of her return, She
opened the door herself, q middln.pged,

SUMNER CoURTMARTIALED
The "Student Captain'' on Trial for
the Injuries To the Cruiser Columbia.

BROOKLYN, N. Y, Sept. - The trial
by courtmartial of Capt. George W.
Sumner, of the United States cruiser
Columbia, on charges growing out of the
investigation just concluded regarding
the injuries sustained by the vessel at
the Southampton dry dock in July last,
was begun at the Brooklyn Navy Yard
this morning.
The charges embrace three counts.
First, criminal negligence and inefli
cheney while upon duty; second, suffer
ing vessel of the navy to be hazarded
according to clause eleven, article s, of
the articles regulating the navy; and
third, neglect of duty.
The specifications are, first, that Capt.
Sumner, on July 4, 1895, made a con-
tract with the Southampton Dry Dock
people for repairs to the cruiser, but
made no examination to see that the dry
dock would fit the ship; second, that
having discovered that the blocking
under the vessel was not suitable, he
failed to have the dock flooded and thus
save the ship from being strained; and
third, neglect of duty in ordering the
payment of the bill for docking when be
should have refused it on account of the
damage done.
The court martial consists of Com
mandant Sicard, Commodore r. r.
Wallace, Captains A. T. Mahan, H. B.
Robson, S. Ouser, W. H. Schley, James
O'Kane, Albert Reed, N. Fl. Farquahar,
B ]. Cromwell and Louis Kempff, Lieu
tenant Draper, acting as judge advocate.
The session was consumed in the Or
ganization of the court.
AS Capt. Sumner has pleaded guilty
to the charges preferred, it is expected
that the trial will be brief.
