Handsome Wagon.

There is upon the streets of Bridgeton a
very attractive delivery wagon upon
which in handsome golden letters, is the
name III. L. Westcott.' The wagon be-
longs to that gentleman who has just en-
barked in the wholesale fruit and produce
business. The wagon is just from the
shops OF the we'll known carriage painter
and trimmer B. F. Maui. The wagon is
painted in very dark green, with ap-
propriate stripping and is the latest conceit
in carriage painting. This wagon like all
others from Maulps shop, attracts general
attention as well as universal admiration.

possible. In little over two years we
have cared for 1876 needy little ones. OF
these, lO7 are to-day enjoying all the
blessings of good christian homes. saved
in many cases, from beggary and pauper-
ism, and some from criminal lives bv
this Christ-like agency. There are thou
sands of childless homes in New Jersey
that would be blessed by the presence of
little child. And we ask you, Mr..
Editor, through your excellent paper, to
help us reach s.lch homes.
We have now ready for placement the
following children:
One boy, 15 years old. A good, trusty
boy.
One boy, three years old: bright, active,
healthy. good disposition.

them on trial three months or longer, in
approved christian families, and then if
suited, the family is expected to take the
child as their own, giving it school priv
lieges, and otherwise fitting it for useful
christian life, depending for remunera-
ton largely upon the Masters promise
"Whosoever shall receive one such little
child In my name recieveth me-"

homeless little ones on trial for one, two
or three months may call uponMr. David

Leg Amputateti.

Our respected townsman, John Hoelzel,
has had to have one Of his legs amputated
just below the knee. Mr.. Hoelzel has
been at the Cooper Hospital for some
time, suffering with something like the
gangrene in his foot. First it was thought
that to amputate two of his toes would
save his leg, but it was found necessary
to take off the leg below the knee to save
bis life. 1t is indeed a sore affiiction for
Mr.. Hoelzel, as he has been for years
lame in his other leg.

DO YOU SUFFER A.?
What a Physician Has to Say
About This Season.
Authorities Say rheumatism Is
Unusually Dangerous.
Significance of Its Alarming Increase
During This Fall.

There has been so much discussion recently
about the alarming increase of rheumatism in
this section, that a WArcHMAN man was in
structed to investigate.
A member of the board of health said; "Do
not quote me as saying that rheumatism is nee
essarily a mortal disease. 1t isn't. But there
are often times when it leads to heart compli-
cation or disturbance of the brain, and results
in death.
And whether dangerous or not, the suffer-
ing is always intense. Anxiety and care, mem
tai shock, and injuries lead to rheumatism, but
the prevalence of this disease at this time in
Montpelier and vicinity is undoubtedly owing
to the damp, cold weather of the fall months"
The usual treatment of rheumatism is uncer-
tain, inefficient and disappointing, as is ac-
knowledged by many physicians. HenryC. Robe,
who resides at No. 1 Sycamore St., Buffalo,
and who is a prominent G. A. r. man, recently
created considerable stir by going before Jas.
W. Chairman, a notary public, and swearing to
the truth of the following statement:
EARLY last fall l had a severe attack of
rheumatism, accompanied with great weak
ness, exhaustion and indigestion. l was inca
pable of anything like work, but my health
was fully restored by the use of that vegetable
medicine, Paine's celery compound. 1t has
brought Joy to our household, and the phys
ician who discovered it may truly be called
the Good Samaritan"
Inquiry among our druggists shows that this
compound has been used by quite a number in
Montpelier, and no case of rheumatism or neu-
ralgia has failed to yield to its curative powers.

Domestic.

THE winter residence OF o. Mergenthaler,
the inventor Of the linotype type-setting
machine, at Deming, New Mexico, was to-
tally destroyed by fire last Thursday. Mr..
Mergenthaler lost all his personal property
and m my valuable papers, including the
drawings for a new type.setting machine.
The property was owned by Col. James A.
Lockhart OF Colorado Springs and was val
ued at $4,000.
THE steamer Idaho was wrecked last Sat-
urday on Lake Erie and nineteen lives were
lost. The steamer went down in a furious
gale and the efforts OF the captain to beach
the vessel or to hold her with the anchor
were unavailing. Mountains of water
poured into the hold and sunk the ship and
several men were drowned like rats, while
others were trampled to death. The sur
vivers were rescued by the steamer Mari
posi-.
AN Atlantic and Pacific passenger train
was held up by four men last Saturday
evening, at rants station, about one nun
dred miles west of Albuquerque. After
blowing open the express company's safe
the robbers wrecked the train, which caught
fire, the express, baggage and ~smoking-cars
being totally destroyed. 1t is not yet known
whether they were successful In obtaining
booty but it Is thought that a large amount
OF money was carried by the train. The
robbers had boarded the train at some point
further west and when near Grants one OF
them boarded the engine and covering the
engineer with a gun ordered him to stop the
train. The coaches were cut off and left at
the stock yards, The rest of the train was
then taken out a mile and a half from the
station where the express safe was dis
mantled. The fireman, Henry Able, who
was compelled by the robbers to run the en-.
CINE when the coaches were left, was killed
by the explosion when the safe was blown
open. The robbers are still at large.

ONE DosE.-One dose Of at" taken at
the beginning of a cold is worth half a
dozen afterwards. When you feel the first
chill or SILVER, or our throat feels scrapey,
is the easy time to cure a cold or check the
grip. This is why so many people keep a
vial OF "77" handy; in the pocket, on the
Office desk, or in the home. II you forget
your bottle, you will be safe in asking your
friend for a dose; it will be considered a
compliment. "77" is everywhere. Ne
elected colds take longer, but are always
''broken up" by "77." DR.. Humphreys

THERE is a great deal of excitement in all
particular circles in Havana, because of the
increasing lack of confidence in the ability
OF Spain to establish autonomy in Cuba and
because OF the apprehension that the Span
ish troops will not be able to suppress the
insurrection by force of arms. This causes
a feeling of uncertainty ia the future which
increases the business depression existing
for over two years past, and also increases
the desire among the more level-headed
population for the annexation to the United
States. The government is well aware of
this and a semi-oficial hint through a gov
eminent newspaper has induced the annex
ationists to stop their secret meetings. The
annexationists were first accused of con-
spring against the government, but the
curious charge of gambling" was made
and on this basis they would have been
put to serious annoyance had the meetings
continued. One Of the great difficulties
initiating against the accomplishment of a
satisfactory solution of the Cuban question
is the multitude Of conflicting aspirations
demanding recognition. Another cause for
the growing discomfort is the feeling preva-
lent in many quarters Of Havana that the
new Captain General Blanco, possesses
neither military nor executive ability.
