Csmp-neeting Notes.

Brushy Ridge Camp.meeting closed
last Friday. ~
There were seventy-iive conversions
ut this meeting.
Brushy Ridge Camp-meeting has be.
come one of the well established reli-
gious institutions of this section.
The meeting was, in many respects
the most successful ever held, and this
is saying a great deal.
1t has been said that the order, dur
ing the meeting, was perfect, the preach
ing very fine and the attendance unusu-
ally large.
There are $50 tents on the grounds
and all were occupied. Numerous per.
sons selected sites to build OH by the
next meeting.
The water supply on Sunday of the
meeting was not sufficient for the de-
mand by the large throng present.
The Committee proposes to make inn
proponents along this line, as well as
other important changes there during
the coming year.

THERE is more Catarrh in this sec.
tion of the country than all other dis
eases put together, and until the last
few years was supposed to be incurable.
For a great many years doctors pro-
nounced it a local disease, and pre-.
scribed local remedies, and by con-
stantly failing to cure with local treat.
ment, pronounced it incurable. Science
has proven catarrh to be constitutional
disease, and therefore requires constitu-
tional treatment. Halls Catarrh Cure
manufactured by f. j. Cheney & Co.,
Toledo, Ohio, is the only constitutional
cure on the market. 1t is taken inter
nally in doses from 10 drops to a tea
SPOONFUL. 1t acts directly on the blood
and mucous surfaces Of the system. -
They offer one hundred dollars for any
case it fails to cure. Send for circulars

A CATS PAW.
From Chambers Journal.

In the basement of the police court
building at Woolford there is a room con-
tanning collection of curious objects, none
of which perhaps would appeal to the tastes
of an antiquary or collector of bricka-
brac, but of which every separate speci-
men has more or less remarkable history
attached to it. | know the history Of
most of the remarkable objects collected
together in our police museum, which to
my mind is one of the most interesting
show places to be found in the town. The
fine set of burglars tools arranged on the
table under the window belonged to a
noted swell mobsman who was caught red
handed by myself and another officer.
The revolver hanging against the clock
over the fireplace and looking harmless
enough in its present position is the very
weapon with which famous criminal shot
and killed an unfortunate constable who
was endeavoring to apprehend him. The
knife which hangs near it-but this is not
a catalogue of our collection, and | must
proceed with my story.
| have said that each of the various OBJ
jects preserved in our museum has some
history attached to it. Some of those his
tories are common place and ordinary. but
others are more interesting than many start
ling pieces of fiction. They serve to show
the wonderful resource and ingenuity Of
the habitual criminal, and none more so
than which attaches to the little brown
book which stands on the chimney piece
between two pairs of dilapdated handouts.
No one who notices it in a casual way
would see anything remarkable about it.
1t is, to all outward appearance, an ordi
nary copy of the "Pilgim's Progress,
small enough in size to be carried about in
the pocket and apparently possessing no
valuo in any way. Nevertheless the pos
session of that pocket edition of Buuyan' 5
immortal work was once worth a large
amount of money, and the lucky chance
which threw it into my hands not only
brought me handsome pecuniary reward,
but secured me my promotion to the rank
Of inspector.
Ten years ago the town of Woolford
was thrown into commotion one fine morn
ing by news of skillfully planned burgla-
ry. 1t was the early part of November,
and the newly elected mayor of WoOlford
had celebrated his accession to civic power
by giving grand ball at his private resi-
dence just outside the town. He was an
exceedingly wealthy man, and his wife was
the fortunate possessor of a very fine set
of diamonds 1t was popularity understood
that these were worth at least 9l0, 600,
and popular opinion in this respect was not
far wrong. On the morning after the
ball, however, the mayoress discovered that
her diamonds were missing. Instead of
locking them up when she retired to rest,
she had carelessly left them lying on her
dressing table. When she awoke, the
diamonds had disappeared
