Subscription So per Year.

A New YORK judge has decided
that cornet playing by an amateur is
public nuisance. In Berlin people
who live in flats, apartments or hotels
are not allowed to play the piano after
10 p. m. This is certainly reasonable,
for such noises to people who are sick,
nervous, tired or trying to sleep are
fully as offensive as sawtiling or cat
fights. A French scientist says that
girls who play on the piano suffer
from great many nervous maladies.
But as a rule they do not suffer from
half so many as those who hear them.

WAS GOULD INSANE =?
Financial Worry and Physical Exer-
tiOn Not the Greatest Destroyer
of Human Life.
For Humanfty's Sake, After Thirty
| six Years OfNerve-CreepingS of Slavery,
He Tells How He Was Set Free.

CALDWELL, N. J.-(SpeciaL)-S. j.
Gould, who has suffered terribly from to-
bacco tremens has, in behalf of humanity,
made known his frightful experience. His
written statement, which is attracting
widespread attention, says: For thirty
six years / chewed, smoked, snuffed and
bacco brown and cold, sticky perspiration
oozed from my skin, and trickled down
my back at the least exertion or excite
ment My nerve, vigor and my life We're
slowly sapped. / had to quit tobacco or
die. tried to stop time and again, but
could not. / saw double and my memory
was beyond control still | knew how TO
chew and smoke, which did all day, until
Finally L gave up in despair.
Now, for suffering humanity, I'll tell
what saved my life. Providence brought
called Don't Tobacco Spit and Smoke
Your Life Away What a sermon and
warning in these words! Just what l was
for the tobacco habit called NO-To-Bac. l
sent to Druggist Hasler for a box. With
out grain of faith spit out my tobacco
cud and put into my mouth little tablet
upon which was stamped No-To-Bac.
took eight tablets the first day, seven the
next, five on the third day, and all the
nerve-creeping, restlessness and mental
depression was gone 1t seemed too good
to be true. l used one box. 1t cost me 81,
and it is worth a thousand. l gained ten
pounds in weight, and lost all desire for to-
bacco from the first day. l sleep and eat
well, and have been benefited in more
ways than I can tell. There's happiness
in No-To-Bac for the prematurely old men
who think as I did that they are old and
worn out, when tobacco is the thing that
destroys their vitality and manhood.

McMULLEN's CASE.
Demurrer to be Issued to Test the
Courts Jurisdiction.

Charles McMullen was arraigned be-
lore Justice Davis yesterday morning,
two charges having been preferred
against him of securing goods under
false pretenses.
In the first instance it is alleged that

which he had rented from Horace
Crocker, and in the second that he Sc
cured merchandise from S. P. Doane
to the value of So by false representa-
tions.
II. L. Buckley, attorney for McMullen,
gave notice that he would interpose
demurrer to each complaint on the
ground that criminal court has no

Joe Allen, one of the old-time team
sters, saw the letter in the paper and al
once called on Secretary Luther and in
formed him that Brockell was dead
Allen said he knew him we'll, and that
some twenty years ago Brockell fell
from a load of hay in the mountains
and was killed.
Secretary Luther has written to DIR
