Sunday School Convention.

1t is proposed to make Sunday, June
DIST, this year, Sunday School Sunday
in every town and city of New England.
1t is the Sunday before the great Sunday
School convention opens in Boston for a
weeks session, and very many of thou.
sands OF people who are coming from the
south and west will be there on that day.
These delegates, which will include
many of the most prominent clergy and
business men of this country, will be in
vited to speak in the pulpits OF Boston
and vicinity, and tell the story ofSunday
School work in their home fields and also
in the world at large.
The pastoral committee, (Rev. C. H.
Spaulding, 256 Washington St., Boston
chairman), having this matter in charge,
will furnish every pastor in New England
with fresh information regarding Sum
day School work the world over, and
ask that their sermon that morning in
clude the facts sent, with other helpful
suggestions regarding Sunday School
work.
At this convention definite legislation
regarding the Sunday School lessons to
be studied during the next six years, and
very many plans of national and inter-
national work will be considered, and as
there are today over 100000 persons
in the Sunday Schools of the United
States alone every Sunday, it will be
readily seen its conclusions will be far
reaching in their effects, and it is well,
therefore, for our churches to hear and
carefully consider the Information that
will be brought to them on this Sunday
School Sunday.

The friends of Christian Endeavor
societies will be pleased that majority
IN the General Assembly of the Presby-
terrain church favor the continuance Of
Christian Endeavor societies among their
Young people, rather than to set up
separate UNCONVENTIONAL organization
and call it "The Westminster League"
The report of the committee was in favor
OF UNCONVENTIONAL organization, but
this was not accepted, and it is probable
mat, for the present, the Christian
Endeavor societies will continue in the
Presbyterian churches.

ANOTHER CONGRESSMAN.
Paine's Celery Compound,
the Great Spring Remedy,
Made Him Well.

A congressman is public servant
in the full sense of the word.
Heisresponsible to his constituents,
70 his party, to himself-the honor.
able office is full OF hard, thankless
work, and heavy responsibility.
Congressman William w. Grout is
grateful to the friend who directed
him o Paine's celery compound, when
prolonged official work had we'll nigh
exhausted his health and strength.
His letter reads:
Committee on Expenditures the War
Dept,
House of Representatives, U. S.,
Washington, D. c., Feb. %, 1896.
found reiefin Paine's celery COM
pound for insomnia. It's action on
the circulation and digestion was
also beneficial.
Very truly yours,
WILLIAM w. CIRCUIT.
There is something wrong when
one feels tired all the time" 1t is
contrary to every condition of good
health.
There ought to be no necessity Of
drumming into the ears Of tired men
and women who feel they are broken
in health, and are every day losing in
weight and strength, the urgent need
Of taking Paine's celery compound,
now It's spring, to restore their spent
nerve force and purify their blood.
Some of the earliest good results
noticed from taking Paine's celery
compound during these spring days
is a regularity of the bowels, better
appetite, sound sleep and good diges-
ton. A healthy blood supply is reg.
uated by the nerves, and when these
vital tissues become fatigued and
badly nourished, the bad effect is seen
in failing digestion, distressing, ring
ing sounds in the ears, dizzy spells,
depression, neuralgia and lassitude.
Spring days afford every one the op.
portunity tor shaking off old weak.
nesseS and persistent disorders.
Physicians of every school have
been from the start urged to inquire
into the formula of Paine's celery
compound, that they might satisfy
themselves of its wonderful power of
making the sick well. Prof. Edward
f. Phelps, M. D., LII. D., as soon as
he presented Paine's celery compound
to his fellow physicians, was always
anxious to have the invigorator tried
IN cases that had resisted the usual
methods of treatment, that he might
prove the truth of every claim made
or his newly discovered formula for
Paiue's celery compound. The great
remedy always gave relief, and in 90 |
cases out of 100 made people well.
Paine's celery compound cannot be
Judged by the standard Of any ordi-
nary medicine, sarsaparilla or nerve
tonic. 1t is great modern scientific
discovery, singularly unlike any RENE
dial agent that has ever aimed to
effect similar purpose-to make
people well.
Paine's celery compound is the only
real spring remedy known today that
never fails to benefit. Get Paines
celery compound and only Paines
celery compound il you wish to be
well.

JUDGE WON HIS SUIT.
EN-Minister TO Belgium Sued Turf
man for Heavy Dnmages

Chicago, Feb. 26.-After a long and
closely contested trial Il jury in Judge
Burkc's court this morning returned a
verdict awarding ex Judge Lambert Tree,
former minister TO Belgium. $3S, 500
damages against Michael c. Mcdonald,
known in gambling and turf circles OF
the country as Mike Mcdonald.
The action grew out OF the renting of
the Garfield Park race track, owned by
Judge Tree, 10 the Garfield Park Club
Mcdonald, it was claimed, guaranteed the
rent, and the point on which the defense
rested to win was that the ex minister
knew the law against gambling was being
violated on his property, and therefore
had no right to recover, having rented the
track for gambling purposes.
Judge Tree, however, swore that he was
ignorant of betting on the races there
Mcdonald will be sued for $4,000 more
rent, due from the dcfunct club under the
lease.

DEATH RATE GOES UP.
Pneumonia and Diseases of the Heart

the Cause.
During the past week lis deaths tdcath
rate 22.27( were reported at the health de-
partment Is against 112 death rate 81 1O)
during the week previous, and 1874 death
rate 25.76) during the corresponding week
OF last year.
The large mortality from pneumonia and
diseases OF the heart is the chief feature
worthy fnotice. Consumption was respon-
sible for 1875 per cent of all dea sls. a suf-
ficent proportion, il would seem, to war
rant the adoption OF measures for its re-
striction.
Diphtheria, two eases terminated fatally
and seven were discharged from quarantine;
thirteen new cases were reported; at the
close OF the week nineteen houses remained
in quarantine.
Scarlet fever, five cases were discharged
from quarantine; eleven new cases were re-
ported; at the close of the week twenty
