Conditions Put on Further Improvement

New York, Dec. 12.-R. G. Dun G. Co.,

Approach of holidays and doubt about
the action Of congress put off further i'm
provements until the new year. While in
dustrieS have gained in working forces
they are waiting for commensurate gain
In demand, and meanwhile are trying to
clear away embarrassments which restrict
them. Speculation has been hating and
timid. There Is no sober-minded fear OF
foreign difficulty, but some have succeeded
in imagining that congress might go SO far
beyond the presidents prudent message re.
garding Cuba as to embrOil this country
with Spain. Money is in abundant supply,
lending in London continues and there is
nothing to cause less activity in general
business except that the rush of oroers de
ferred until after election has not been
continued. The volume of business shown
by clearings has been for the week 90 per
cent. smaller than last year.

appointment about the break in prices may
help to increase receipts. The market has
declined IA cents, and the decrease in de-
mand for flour with high rail rates has
closed nearly all the Superior-Duluth anu
many of the other northwestern mills.

Of the great steel companies. The entire
industry is for the time demoralized by
uncertainty regarding the great combina.

Textile industries are working larger
force than in October, but there is not
much evidence of larger demand, and some
kinds of goods are accommodating. AS raw
cotton Is lower, some yielding in prices of
staples is expected, and buying is on that
account more restricted. few qualities Of
goods having slightly declined Print
cloths are weak in tone, with enormous
stocks. Wooden goods are not in better de-
mand. and there is general indispostton to
make commitments ahead.

Free Libraries.

State Superintendent of Schools w. W.
Stetson has the following to say regarding
the educational advantages derived from
free libraries:
''Free libraries" he said, ''are the very
mainstay of popular education. The free
library is second to no institution except
that of the school, and so closely allied
are they in their making of the educated
young man and woman, that it is as much
the duty of the community to establish
public libraries as public schools
''The school is continually growing, and
without an adjunct its growth is naturally
handicapped
''But with free library in reasonably
easy access to every school, the actual
effect will be, even in a very short while,
a matter incompatible, and which can
be measured only by the practice, and
actual application.
1.-The youth of the period, I find, is
continually expanding in his IDEAS The
school sows the germ, and develops and
leads the way to the deeper sources of
investigation. 1t is now, too, an era when
young people, especially, are appreciat-
ing the value of the right kind of reading.
81 have in mind many instances Of
libraries, which, upon becoming free,
have increased SO much in their demand.
that it is simply positively alarming, and
to my thinking is but the forerunner of
the universal establishment of free in
situations of this kind.''

The Story of
Puritana.

Prof. Dixi Crosby, NJ. D., IL. D.,
who for t.lirty-two years was at the
head of Dartmouth Medical College.
belonged to the famous Crosby family
OF physicians, which rscveral gencr-
atoms has furnished more distin-
%uis,lcd medical men than any other
family in America. His father was
DIR. Asa Crosby, of Dartmouth, who
procured the charter of the State
medical society, of which he was for
thirty years conspicuous member;
one brother, DR.. Josiah Crosby, in
vented the invalid bed and the method
Or making extensions of fractured
limbs by adhesive strips; another
brother, DR.. Thos. r. Crosby, was
chief surgeon in Columbian College
Hospital during the war, and later
professor of animal and vegetable
physiology at Dartmouth College
while Dr.. Dixi Crosby himself was
the inventor and discoverer of various
important improvements in medicine
and surgery, including q new and
unique mode of reducing metacarpo-
phalangeal dislocation, opening of alb
scess at hip joint, ETC., etc.
At the early are of twenty-four his
extraordinary skill and SUGGEST over
coming disease had already attracted
the attention of medical men through
out the world, and won for him the
highest honors. His greatest achieve
ment was the discovery Of an original
method for perfecting and compound
ing in permanent form what has be-
come known as his ''prize formula"
and which, unGcr the name of Puri-
tina, is legtlly protected.
The foundation Of this remarkable
1nedical discovery consists of simple
lew England roots and herbs, and the
original family recipe for it has de-
seconded to the long line of Crosby
Physicians from their Puritan ances-
tors. Its peculiar vegetable compost
tion rendered it necessary to brew it
Whenever needed in the early days of
its history, and after the scattering of
tie Puritan families to remote locali-
It's, where the necessary ingredients
w're not to be found, many attempts
were made to put it up in permanent
riG, all of which failed until Dir. Dixi
Crosby discovered means and methods,
the result OF which is: Natures Cure

Common Sense.

The Biggest Trout.
IT WAS CAUGHT IN 1869 AND WEIGHED So
POUNDS,

POUNDS.
1t is dangerous to lay claim to having cap
tured the largest fish on record. A few
days ago one was caught at Moosehead
weighing 20 2 pc nds and the claim was
made that it was the largest trout ever
caught in Maine waters. A correspondent
of the Bangor Wing, however, pops up with
the following:
The most magnificent specimen of the
great lake trout ever captured in this State
Of which we have any authentic record was
the big one captured by Frenchman in
January, 1869, in Grand Schoodic Lake and
sent as gift to "Oliver Optic at the time
by DR.. A. 9. Hamlin. This great togue, which
DR.. Hamin has named the Saline Toma
after the Indian hunter Peol Toma, weighed
here IN Bangor over thirty-two pounds, and
measured in length II II inches with girth
of more than "a inches These measurements
We're taken several days after its capture
and it was then estimated that the fish must
have weighed 50 pounds at the time of its
capture.
