In the vicinity of Boquet, Westmore-
land county, Pa, almost any one can
tell you how to cure lame back or stiff
neck. They dampen a piece of flannel
with Chamberlain's Pain Balm and bind
it to the affected parts and in one or two
days the trouble has disappeared. This
same treatment will probably cure pain
in the side or chest. Mr.. f. NJ. Frye, a
prominent merchant of Boquet, speaks
very highly of Pain Balm, and his recon-
mendations have had much to do with
making it popular there. Il For sale by
the Chas. Lyle Drug Co,

THE TELEPHONE MEETING.

Committee Appointed to Investigate
They Mean Business From the Word Go
Pursuant to the call published in The
Times, number of business men met
yesterday in the circuit court room to
discuss the question of cheaper phones
Jos. Stras was made chairman, who
introduced w. n. Fishburne, of Waynes-
boro, who is the patentee of telephone
transmitter. which is said to be non-in-
fringing on the Berliner patent, under
which the Bell Telephone Company oper-
ates.
Mr.. Fishburne thinks that an indepen-
dent system can be established here,
which will cost about $4,000 to maintain
and run 225 phones, and will over and
above all expenses yield % per cent on
the investment
A committee of five was appointed to
look after a charter for the company, as
certain what rights or franchises the Bell
company have, to prepare subscription
papers, and go actively to work and as
certain what amount of stock will be
taken and the number of phones which
will be subscribed to. 1t is proposed to
put residence phones at $15 per year and
business phones at about S24. 1t is also
proposed that the stock shall be placed at
so per share, and those who are not
SUOcknOluers VIII DE required to pay n
higher price for phones. Subscribers
will be required to sign a contract to use
the phones of the Independent company
for at least three years, that is, if they
use phone at all.
The following gentlemen compose the
committees: JOS Stras, Z. II. Fishburne,
Hugh Fry, j. r. Hoover and Mr.. Rife.
1t is proposed that this committee shall
employ an active canvasser to begin work
towards securing subscriptions to stock
and subscribers to the phones.
t. T. Fishburne stated that represent
tative of the Bell company served notice
| that they did not intend to put down
their price, nor did they intend to be run
| out by new company. The committee
will meet this afternoon at o'clock al
the office of L. II. Fishburne, and it is
evident that these business men mean
business from the word go.

The Atlanta Journal, Secretary Hoke
Smiths paper, after u silence of two
weeks or more. announces that while it
cannot endorse the Chicago platform il
VIII give an earnest support to the Demo-
cratic nominees for President and Vice
President. This decision was ARRIVED at
after conference at Washington be-
tween the business manager and manae-
ing editor of the Journal and the Secre-
tary of the Interior and, reasoning from
analogy, it is hardly probable that admin
istration Democrats will put Presiden-
tial ticket in the field. The decision of
the Journal is highly commendable. In
TACT there Is no other course for Southern
Democratic papers of even the most pro
nounced sound money" views to pursue
than to support the nominees of the
Chicago convention. There is nothing to
be gained by an alliance with. Mckinley

Gratis will support II Republican for Con-
gress in district where the last named

and negotiations with Great Britain in
regard to Venezuela and general court of
arbitration are proceeding amicably al
though not very eXpeditiously. 1t is evil
dent from the tone of the letters passing
between the American Secretary of State
and Lord Salisbury that both sides are
DESTROYS of reaching an amicable adjust
ment of all differences, and that each will
make any reasonable concession rather
than resort to war. 1t will be great
thing for the progress of enlightenment
and civilization if the two great English
speaking nations can agree on a treaty OF
arbitration which will render conflict
between them impossible in the future.

TAILOR BODICE.

ing done. A bodice pinned together in
front during the fitting is sure to gap at
intervals or to be pinched up too much by
the pins.
Where q bodice is closed by means of
hooks and eyes the fastening is more Sc
cure if the hooks and eyes arc sewed in al
ternately on both sides. They should be
close together rs should be buttons also
Most of the buttons now fashionable are
so largo or SO rough that they will not
pass through q buttonhole and they are
therefore merely sewed on as ornaments,
the bodice being really fastened with hooks
and eyes beneath the line Of buttons.
Gathered silk bags for the street and for
the theater are still carried and are often
very pretty, especially when they are made
to match light silk bodice. Pink broche
silk, lined with white satin, composes one
lately seen, tho lining being visible in the
deep frill at the top. The gathering
strings are of narrow pink ribbons, and
bows of wider pink ribbon are placed at
each side. For the street black silk or
satin, with colored design, might be Sc
lected, the lining matching the tint of the
figure.
In many houses bread is placed on the
table in broad, fiat basket, and favorite
sort of fancy work is the embroidery of
linen lining or valance for the basket. The
embroidery must be done in fast color cot
TONS or wash silks, since frequent launder-
Ing is necessary.
Now that braiding is again fashionable
there is wide field for the exercise Of
amateur taste in the adornment of gowns.
All finely braided articles for sale in the
shops are very costly, but the braid itself
Is inexpensive, and woman who has
leisure and deftness can work for herself a
vest, revers, cuffs and skirt panels elabo-
rate enough for Il princess.
The illustration shows tight fitting
bodice of violet cloth. 1t has a short rip
pied basque ana wide revers, with a bertha
composed of square tabs The bodice opens
over vest of violet velvet, closed in the
middle under band of silver fox. The
cloth part of the bodice is everywhere
edged with fine black soutache pattern,
and tho plaits in which the cuffs of the
largo sleeves arc laid are adorned in the
same way. The high, braided cloth collar
Is bordered with silver fox.

The Baby's Rights.

Baby has a few rights outside of the
care and protection of its parents that are
not always observed. Baby does not like
q stranger to rush at or squeeze him or
talk incomprehensible nonsense to him.
If allowed to sit still on his mother or
nurses lap, he will make up his small
mind about the visitor and make his own
advances in due time. Babies must be
wooed, not taken by storm, and it is one
of their rights to be allowed to study those
who approach them and give their conf
dence by degrees.
