square miles OF territory, land
reaches it's highest value. In
greater New York the aver
age value is the highest in the
world. The Wander bits and
Astors have made millions in
New York real estate. Thou
sands of other fortunes have
been made in land speculation
in greater New York.
ERE is a little story
IL about a lady from
greater New York, who spec
ulates in land, and who knows
what she is about every time.
The other day she was riding
on the railroad and bought a
Journal. She was interest
ed in the advertising of lovely
Capitol Heights. She is on
the lookout for land deals; so
che made mental note of what
she read.
THEN she thought it
l. over, Now, she isn't
the kind of a women that be-
lieves every advertisement
she reads, especially, about
selling land; SO without say
ing anything, she did exactly
what every shrewd, long
headed buyer would. She
came back and looked the
place over for herself and i'll
vestigatcd. She didn't intend
to "buy apig in a poke"
TKTELL, what was the re-
w suit: She looked
Capitol heights over and was
entranced by the lovely view;
saw how Nature had laid the
place out for an ideal place to
build healthy, happy homes
filled her lungs with the brac-
ing ozone of the place;
and, then, critically examined
the whole place as an invest
ment.
CHE saw at once the fact
NJ that the addition of the
improvements of the lower
town and few building opcr-
atoms would send the value
of these lots up to double,
treble and quadruple their
present cost, and she noted
that they were just as good
as the adjacent land which is
held for, from double to
quadruple our prices.
60 she invested at once in
NJ three good lots. That
is the short story of a woman
who knows, and who believes
that the land here is more
valuable and better invest
ment than that in Greater
New York, the very metrop-
oils of America.
NOW, why don't you
IN take advantage of this
experience? Why not do ex-
actly as she did? Go up
there and look the whole
place over and then buy. The
few remaining lots are just
as good as gold and will
double in value within two
years. Property of this
kind is always like money
in the bank, only it pays
better interest.
YOU don't have to be a
L capitalist to buy lot.
IF you are homc-seeker, an
investor or a Spectator you
can obtain one of these lots
simply by paying $50 down

These sharp, raw, capricious days of Feb
ruary are blamed for much sickness that is
simply the direct result Of nervous weak
ness
Perfect health will keep one abcve any
depressing influence f!om the weather
Pure, richer blood and better fed nervous
tissues will make people feel well even in
February.
During his many years of hard and Won
derful work, Prof. Edward E. Phelps, Dart
mouths great professor, had in mind the
thousands who were weak and run down.
His study of the many cases of nervous
prostration, neuralgia, rheumatism, dyspep-
sia and debility led him to that most mar
velous discovery OF the century, Paine's
celery compound.
In every city, as well as the smaller viii

ECONOMISTS AnE DEFEATED AGAIN.
Indian inspectors Salaries Maintained
mt $4,000.

ut sS,oto.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 21.-The house in
committee Of the whole today again refused
to follow some OF the republican leaders in
the matter of reducing the salaries OF In
dian inspectors from $4,000 to $500, the
latter being the salary in the law for she
current year. Yesterday an appeal was
made to the house in behalf OF economy and
retrenchment and was defeated. Today the
struggle was resumed. The defeat of the
economists today was emphasized by the
fact that a parliamentary wrangle OF over
two hours vas required to demonstrate that
II er amendment was in order and that
having won the first half of their victory in
the decision Of the chair the house by vote
Of 81 to IS refused to adopt the amendment.
In pursuance of their policy Of retrenchment
however. Mr.. Cannon raised point OF order
against two provisions which changed exist
ing law. and they went out o: the bill.
The progress today was very slow. only
two of the sixty-one pages Of the Indian
bill being disposed of.
While Mr. Tabert and Mr.. Bowers, two
rather hot-headed gentlemen, were ham,
mering away at each ether during the debate
with much lustiness Of voice and whirlwind
Of gesticulations, some ardent sportsman
called out, Go It, Fitz" Amid the laugh
ter that followed some one called, Time, ="

WALLER IS NOW A FREE MAN.
Liberated from Prison Today and
VIII ReiOin His FnmiIy.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 21.-Secretary Olney
received a cablegram today from Amba ssador
Eustis. announcing that Waller, ex-consul at
Madagascar, was released from Jail today.
1t is expected that Waller will join his
family in the United States.
AS Waller is entirely destitute of means,
our ambassador, Mr.. Eustis, has been author
zed by Secretary Olney to provide him with
transportation to the United States. He
had been in prison for nearly year. hav-
ing been arrested on the 9TH of March last
in Madagascar, and afterward being kept in
confinement in the military prisons in
France.
The authorities here feel that they have
reason to be gratified at the outcome OF the
case which, as revealed by the corre-
spondence on the subject, came nearer than
the public was aware at one time Of leading
to an actual severance of diplomatic rela-
tions between the two republics. The point
at issue was not whether Waller was guilty
of the offense charged against him, but re-
solved itself into question as to whether
the government had right to insist upon
satisfying itself that the American citizen
which he was convicted was finally exhibited
had had justice. AS the evidence upon
which he was convicted was finally ex-
hihited to Ambassador Eustis our govern
ment was entirely satisfied. though it was
incidentally shown that there could be no
reasonable doubt of the guilt of the prisoner.
