KILLED WIFE AND SELF.
Shocking Crime of d Young Coal Dealer
in Philadelphia.

Philadelphia, Pa, Nov. 9-William
Hayes, coal dealer, last night cut his
wife's throat and his own and today
both were found dead in their bedroom
The couple had often quarreled and last
night people in the same house with
them, heard the woman pleading with
her husband as though in fear, after
which all was quiet. Hayes brothers
state that he had come to their house
at o'clock this morning and called
them UP to say goodbye to his mother
No one then could understand his ac-
tons, but it is now thought he had al
ready killed his wife and after MAX
ing up his mind to put himself out of the
way had gone to take farewell Of his
mother. He must have returned to the
house and cut his throat. Both Hayes
and his wife were young

MAIN POINT NOT DECIDED.
Compensation for Carrying Postotfice In
Spectors.

Washington, D. c., Nov 9-'7he Su-
preme court handed down it's decision to-
day in the case of the Central Pacific
Railway company against the United
States involving the question Of the right
of the company to compensation for car
rying postoffice inspectors. The court
held that the company had waived any
right of compensation that might exist.
The government right to secure free
transportation on bond-aided roads was
not directly covered as the decision
turned on the point that the railroad
had freely given free transportation, not
putting in a claim until long afterwards

THE USE OF BURRS.
They Carry the Seeds of Plants Away
from the Parent Stem.

from the SafoDJ stem.
After stroll afeld in the fall, one is
apt to wonder, as he works away 1T the
burrs that cover his clothes, what use
they can possibly be- Burrs are great
nuisance to men and animals; but the
plants they grow on find them very SER
viceable, for they are simply fruits COW
cred with spines or prickles; and this is
only another way plants have to distrib-
ute their seeds.
That it is scheme that works we'll
anyone can see who has a hunting dog,
and keeps it in his yard. In the spring
fine crops of Spanish needles and clot-
there were none before. They have
grown from the burrs the dog brought
home in his coat the autumn before.
Around wooden mills in New England
plants from the West spring up in q
mysterious way, and nearly always these
have burr-fruits. They have grown from
the burrs taken from the fleece of sheep,
in cleaning, and thrown out as waste
Some troublesome weeds have been in
troduced in this manner.
On the prairies there are many plants
with this kind of fruit. In former days,
when great herds of buffalo roamed the
plains, their hair caught up these burrs,
which thus stole long rides, like the
tramps they are. Even now, in old buff
falo wallows, plants are found that do
not grow elsewhere in the country round
Some burrs, like Spanish needles, have
only three or four slender spines, or
awns, as they are called, at the summit
of the fruit. IT we look at them through
a magnifying glass, we find them bear
ing sharp, downwardpointing barbs, like
that of a fish hook. The sand spur, an
i'll weed that grows on sea beaches and
sandy river banks, has burrs covered
with such spines. The boy who has
stepped on sand burrs with his bare feet
knows this to his sorrow. The tiny
barls go in easily. but every attempt to
draw them out makes them tear into the
flesh.
Often the spines or bristles are hooked
instead of being barbed The clot burr
or cookie burr, which grows abundantly
in waste ground. and the agrimony Of
our woods, are examples. Burdock has
such hooked prickles on its fruits. and
they stick so fast together that children
make of them neat little baskets, ham
dies and all. The tick-trefoil has iointed
pods, covered thickly with small hooked
hairs that may hardly be seen without
a magnifying glass. These are the
small. fiat, brown burrs that cover the
clothing after a walk through the woods

ROXBURY NOTES BY MOTOR.
 1 Very successful was the entertainment
 in our Town hall On Tuesday evening
 last, much appreciated, much enjoyed The ladies of the Methodist Aid society
 had enlisted number of willing workers,
 who heartily co-operated to render a pro-
 gram that was very acceptable to the
 numerous company assembled. The er- tertainment was described as a "Sun
 flower festival" The idea of arranging
 for such a gathering, originated with
 Mrs 5, W. Merwin, the energetic vice
 president of the Ladies' Aid, whose
 efforts had so much to do with the grati- flying results achieved. Through the en- terpIise of the Town Improvement asso- citation, Roxbury now possesses excellent
 premises for the carrying out of social gatherings and the new and attractive scenery of the platform, on the evening F pleasing effect as witnessed from the
 body of the hall. A feature of unusual interest in the program was the presence of Miss Jessie Henson Of New York, who had very readily consented to render her valued assistance and who sang again and again, making melody of high order. Pleasing variety was given to the in9trunental d Apartment by the playing of seitc.i,na Oil rne mandolin by Mis-

Too Knife !

The use of the surgeons knife is be coming so general, resulting fatally in such a large number of cases, as to occasion general alarm. Tie press al- most daily announces tile death of some unfortunate whose system cOulI not withstand the shock of all operation, and whose life was cruelty sacrificed to the keen blade of the urEeou.
 Of course, in some instances an operation is necessary, and is the only means of sewing life, but such ca> es are exceedingly rare. 50 many dc,jLs occur under these conditions, however, that the public is bcRiHuiME to realize that the doctors are too nasty in resort ing 10 the knife, and if such state of affairs continues, there will before long be q general uprising against such meas ures. It is but reasonable to believe that the majority of operations are unnecessary, but W hen the fatal mistake is discovered too late, only the doctors ever know Of their error, and thouuh a precious life ls given Up, the pJhlEc is assured that death would have resulted ill spite of the operation, and whO is ever the wiser?
 The folly of resortinG to the kriEc in cases of cancer, Is de1noast.atEI every time it is undertaken. The disease $ in the blood and the canccT or sore is but the outward manifestation of terrible condition of tie entire clrcuIa- ton. To cut out this sore, therefore, does not i'll any way effect the disease, and 1t can easily be seen that the only correct treatment is to get at the seat of the disease, and purify He blood; the sore will then heal up naturally. S.S.S. is the most powerful blood remedy made, and is the only cure for cancer.
The Newtown bee., 1896-09-04

To submit to an operation, is to vo1un- tarily endanger ones life, without the slightest hope of being benefited.
 MT. William WalpOle, is a wealthy planter residing at Walshtown, South Dakota, and is well known all over the state. Under date of fJanuary 2oth, 1896, he writes; "AbOut three years ago, there came under my left eye a little blOtCh about the size of a small pea. It grew rapidly, and for the past year, shooting pains ran in every direction. I became alarmed and consulted a good doctor, who pronounced it cancer, and said that it must be cut out. This I would not consent to, having little faith in the in discriminate use of the knife, though I was alarmed at my condition. Reading of the many cures made by S.S.S., 1 determined to give that medicine trial, and after had taken it a few days, the cancer became irritated and began to dis charge. This after awhile ceased, leaving a small scab, which finally dropped off, and only a healthy looking little scar remained to mark the place where the destroyer had held full sway Words are inadequate to express my gratitude to the great blood purifier, s. s. S., and tethis hoping that itn1ay bethem means of leading other sufferers to a cure.'
 Cancer is not incurable, but the only means of curing it is to rid the blood of the disease. S.S.S. never fails to do this, but it is the only remedy to be re- lied upon. It is guaranteed purely vegetable, and cures Cancer, Scrofu1a, Eczema, Catarrh, Rheumatism and any other disease of the blood. Other blood diseases often develop into such alarm ing conditions that the doctors think an operation necessary, Scrofula, for in- stance, often diseases the glands of the neck to such an extent that an operation is looked upon as absolutely the only relief. This is also grave error, as the disease is in the blood aud a real blood remedy is the only cure.
 An operation never did cure a blood disease. Beware Of the knifel
