quadron waiting maid, and James, who

nearly worn his life out, and two boys,

mending to do, and dresses or bonnets
to make, and long into the night they
toll, for they must look neat, and they
have no time during the day to attend
to personal matters.
Women, therefore, Notwithstanding
their delicate organism, work longer
and more closely than men.
They do not promptly heed such
signs as headache, backache, blues,
pains in the groins, bearing-down, sail

sleep and appetite, whites, irregular
or painful monthly periods, cold and
swollen feet, etc., all symptoms Of
womb trouble, which, if not quickly
checked, will launch them in a sea Of

There is but one absolute remedy
for all those ills. Any woman who has

profitable to keep her system fortified

ELECTRICITY can travel faster than
100000 miles in second, or, in other
words, instead of requiring twenty min
utes to go around the world once like
messages recently dispatched from an
American exposition, it can make the
journey eight times in one second,
This would be at the rate of about 500
times in one minute or 10000 times in
twenty minutes.

A sUN,DIAL made for London would
be useless for either Paris or Edin-
burgh. The altitude of the pole star
varies with the latitude, and hence is
greater at Edinburgh and less at Paris
than at London; and as the stylus must
always point to the polar star, the angle
it makes with the dial-pate must vary
with the latitude.

The greatest success OF the times in the
way OF New York sensational dramas
is "On the Bowery," the play in which
Steve Brodi. is q prominent factor in the
action. II will be on view in this city at
Keith's Opers House next week. Its
popularity is due doubtless to the appear
ance OF reality that marx both its melo-
dramatic and comic elements. Especially
liie-like is the comedy that ia so plenti-
ful in the play. The queer characters
that figure in the famous saloon scene
and other famous portions OF the piece
seemed to have walkeo directly i'm from
the real Bowery, and yet they are far
more amusing than the real people often
are. The scenes OF danger also have an
aspect OF sctuslity, while the scenic sur
roundings differ from the original in only
being more picturesque.

COunCilmen-EleCt to Con-

The Election of Chief of Police
May Be Passed.
Alderman Burbank Wants to Be Pres

The mem bers-elect OF the City Council
of 1896 Will meet in caucus tomorrow
night and try to decide what they will
do formally IN joint convention after
they have taken the oath OF office.
One OF the hottest preliminary contests
has..been in relation TO the chief of police,
the two sspirants being the present in
cum bent and captain Ruben II. Baker OF
the second district. Both have friends
who are hard at work, but today q new
scheme has been suggested by the Alder
man from the Seventh Ward, which. IL
carried out, will temporarily put an end
TO al! uncertainty about the head Of the
police department. Alderman Littie's
idea is TO pass the election OF chief and
wait and see what the General Assem- bly,
will do about allowing the city to estab-

with reference 10 the chief of the fire
department when the movement TO secure

inaugurated. 1t Is very probable that the
same thing will be done now aid that
chief Child will become "hold. over. /"
Mr.. Thomas Dorney, secretary of the
Mayor-elect snd chairman of the Demo-
cratic City Committee, said today that
Alderman Burbank OF the Second Ward
wants the presidency OF the Board and
that he will get it on the second ballot.
Mr.. Dorney also said that Aldermen
Nichols, Darcy, Mccarthy and Fuller
IN III yofa for Nv purba p-rvhfnt1-xx-,tt, ,,
his own vote, will make tie that Mayor
McGuinness Will settle IN favor OF the
gentleman from the Second Ward.
No one is found who will prophesy
about the presidency OF the Council, as
Mr.. Dorney ventures 10 do relative TO
the upper branch. Councilman Jonn T..
Kendrick and Councilman-elec Gardiner
are alone in the field and both sides are
hopeful. Councilman Durfee is making
another stiff fight for the position OF
superintendent of public buildings,
which he lost last year by few votes.
Mr.. Mansfield is, OF course, up for re-
election and has nothing to soy.
Recorder of Deeds Edward {. Joyce is
a candidate for reelection and in opposi-
ton TO him is Mr.. Frank Williamson,
son Of the ex-recorder whom Mr.. Joyce
defeated a year ago.
That sums up tbs situation so far as
the important Offices, within the power
OF the City Coucil to give, are con-
cerne1, while as usual there are the
usual personal campaigns for tho minor
positions and dozens OF candidates for
nominations have elaborate ideas what
improvements they will bring about IL
they are elected.
