For your Protection. -Catarrh "Cures" or
Tonics for Catarrh in liquid form TO be taken
Internally, usually contain either Mercury or
iodide of Potassa, or both, which are injur-
ious if too long taken. Catarrh is local, not
blood disease, caused by sudden change to
cold or damp weather. 1t starts in the nasal
passages, affecting eyes, ears and throat.
Cold in the head causes excessive flow OF
mucus, and, if repeatedly neglected, the re-
suits of cataIrh will follow; severe pain in
the head, roaring sound in the ears, bad
breath, and oftentimes an offensive dis
charge. Theremedy should equick to allay
inflammation and heal the membrane. Ely's
Cream Balm is the acknowledged cure fer
these troubles and contains no mercury
nor any injurious drug. Price, so cents.

A NOVEL EXPERIMENT.
The Result of Firing a Cannon
Under Water.
From Invention.

From Invention.
The most curious experiment
ever made with a piece of ord
nance was at Portsmouth, Eng
land. A stage was erected in
the harbor within the tide
mark; on this an Armstrong
gun of the IIo-pound pattern
was mounted. The gun was
then loaded and carefully aim
ed at a target-all this, of
course, during the time of low
tide. A few hours later, when
the gun and the target were
both covered with water to a
depth of six feet the gun was
fired by means of electricity.
We said aimed at a target"
but the facts are that there
were two targets, but only one
was erected for this special ex-
pertinent, the other being the
hull ofan old vessel, the Grip
er, which lay directly behind
the target and in range of the
ball. The target itself was
placed only IS feet from the
of the gun. 1t was com
posed of oak beams and
planks, and was twenty-oneH
inches thick. In order to.
make the old Griper in in
vulnerable a sheet of boiler
plates 3 inches thick was rivet
ed to the waterlogged hull in
direct range with the course
the bali was expected to take!
if not DETECTED by the water
On all of these-the oaken
target, the boiler plates and
the old vessel hull-the effect
Of the shot from the submerg
cd gun was really startling. !
The wooden target was pierre

Gladness Comes

With better understanding Of the
w transient nature of the many phys
ical ills, which vanish before proper eff
forts-gentle efforts-pleasant efforts
rightly directed. There is comfort in
the knowledge, that so many forms of
sickness are not due to any actual dis
ease, but simply to a constipated condi-
ton of the system, which the pleasant
family laxative, Syrup of Figs, prompt
ly removes. That is why it is the only
remedy with millions of families, and is
everywhere esteemed SO highly by all
who value good health. Its beneficial
effects areaiue to the fact, that it is the
one remedy which, promotes internal
cleanliness without facilitating the
organs on which it acts. 1t is therefore
all important, in order to get its bene-
fetal effects, to note when you pur-
chase, that you have the genuine arti-
Gle, which is manufactured by the Cali
fornia Fig Syrup Co. only and sold by
all reputable druggists
If in the enjoyment of good health,
and the system is regular. laxatives or
other remedies are then not needed. If
afflicted with any actual disease, one
may be commended to the most skillful
physicians, but If in need of a laxative,
one should have the best, and with the
well-informed everywhere, Syrup of
Figs stands highest and Is most largely
used and gives most general satisfaction

Resolutions Passed Here on the Death Of
the Composer.

The following resolutions were passed
this morning at the opening OF the ses-
sion of the American Institute of Nor
NAL Methods at Brown University, and
sent to Miss Katherine Mason, Buckfield,
Me-, the daughter OF the late Luther
Whiting Mason, the fsther of music in
the public schools:
"It Is with sincere regret that we, the
faculty and pupils of the eastern branch
of the American Institute of Normal
Methods, learn of the death of your hon
ored father, Luther Whiting Mason. We
are all conversant to some extent, with
the history of his Invalua BILE labors for the
cause of public school music. Some OF
us had the privilege OF knowing him
personally.
To us his memory will ever be fragrant.
We all most heartily re-echo the senti-
ment expressed by Ex-Governor Long on
the occasion OF the celebration of his I'D
birthday, when he said "Mr. Mason was
man raised up Of God, to do a noble
work for his generation
That noble work Will go on until every
hamlet ana home IN this broad land shall
rcsound with the happy voice of song
until the mighty strain thus raised shall
join another from far japan and form
one mighty psalm OF praise TO him who
gave the power to sing.
We tender you our warmest sympathy
in this aflliction and trust that your sor-
row may find some consolation IN the
thought that your father has como to
the close OF his life in peace, full OF
days and crowned with honor.

Led to the Finding Of
Stolen Goods.
Browns Were Going House.
keeping in Hoyle Block.
And the LaPage Family Was the
Source of Supply.

Lieutenant Lawrence and Patrolman
j. Henry Wilbur called Mt the room Of
Mr.. and Mrs. Brown, 8 Hoyle Building,
last evening and took possession of a
wagon load OF household articles which
were the property OF Edward La Page OF
i22 Pine street. The LaPages have until
ABOUT week ago, let rooms for "light
housekeeping" at 3o1 Pine street. Last
Thursday they decided to take tho tenc-
ment 422 Pine street. corner OF Lockwood
street. With the La Pages came Brown
and his wife, who bad been roomiDg
with them for the past FIVE weeks. Mrs.
Brown told one OF the family that she
and her husband had concluded TO 20 to
housekeeping in the Hoyle Building, but
would stay with Mrs. La Page for the
rest of the week.
Since Thursday Mrs. La Page has been
missing articles but as she had just
moved from one house TO another she
thought perhaps that they had been mis-
laid and in the course Of time would be
found. Day by day articles went as II
by magic, aud no trace of them could
be found. All of the roomers were ques-
toned, aud all pleaded ignorance.
Yesterday morning Mrs. La Page was
called by Mrs. Brown TO her room. She
wanted to show a new dress that she had
Just purchased. Mrs. Brown opened a
trunk and in taking out the dress pat
tern, Mrs. La Page caught glimpse OF
the handle of mug which had been
presented to her baby last Christmas.
Then il flashed over Mrs. La Pages
mind where her goods had gone. She
spoke TO The woman about the mug, and
she made some plausible and apparently
honest excuse for having 1t III her posses
n lr,. at.
the evening, his wife told him OF the in
cident, and they both went TO the room
OF the Browns and wSpted TO get peep
at the trunk, but the Browns objected.
Mr.. La Page then told his wife to go to
the Plain street station for an officer.
When the officer came into the room he
examined the trunk and il was filled with
various stolen articles. They were re-
turned to Mrs. La Page.
But more goods were missing. and the
La Pages wanted to find them. Now
came Mr.. La Pages turn to think, for he
noticed that the might before MIR. Brown
had left the house via the back door sew
eral times, and czech time had quite a
bundle. lie also knew thai Mr.. and Mre.
Brown were going to live at No. 5 in the
Hoyle block. MIR. La Page suggested TO
policemen Lawrence and Wilbur that they
visit the new home OF the Bcowns. They
did so, and here they found an express
wagon full of goods, which included two
lamps, portions of q half dozen different
toilet sets, sal. cellars, tea and coffee
pot, and, in fact, & sufficient number OF
articles to "kecp house" with. These,
like the articles found in the trunk, were
returned to the La Pages.
MIR. Brown said he was matchmaker
and that he and his wife travelled from
place to place. They came from Paw
tucket to Providence. Both are about so
years ola.
The La Pages did net care to prosecute
the pair.
