attention was attracted by a Tyre attached
TO the door of the drug store. Every open

were suspended from the top OF the instru-
ment to swing back and forth, striking the
wires Of the Tyre and producing very
pleasing and musical sound. Upon exam
nation we perceived that the instrument
was simply novel scheme to advertise
DIR. Williams Pink Pills. We inquired of
the druggist II he had much sale for the
Pink Pills, and he informed us that they
were his leading sellers. We then asked
him what his opinion was Of their curative
qualities He told us Of several cures which
had been effected by their use one in par
ticular, that Of prominent farmers wife,

as suppressions, irregularities and all forms

Denfness Cannot be cured

BY local applications, as they cannot reach the
diseased portion OF the ear. There is only one
way TO cure deafness, and that is by constitu'
tional remedies. Deafness is caused by an
inHamed condition of the mucous lining
of the Eustachan Tube. When this tube is in
famed you have rumbling sound, or imperfect
hearing, and when it is entirely closed deafness
is the result, and unless the inflammation can be
taken out and this tube restored to its normal
condition, hearing will be destroyed forever; nino
cases out of ten are caused by catarrh. which IL

in Japan. The garments are cut Out
Of large sheets of finely crisped Japa'

and the buttonholes strengthened with

even when wet, flexible and extremely

Lingo was placed on trial last week in tho
Criminal Court Of Camden county and convicted
OF the charge OF forgery In making and uttering
bogus orders on the Postmaster Of Merchant

Mrs, Mabel Cooper, which was part OF the inge-
Nous plot to decoy Miss Berry to her ruin and,
perhaps, her death. To-day he was tried on the
main indictment OF attempted abduction and
the Jury retured a verdict of guilty. Tho Court,
IN imposing the sentence OF twenty years, added
u line OF $4,000. the full penalty OF the law.
Inc plot to entrap the innocent woman was
skilfully planned. Miss Berry advertised In q
SUNDAY newspaper for n position as goyerness.
she received answers from n Mrs. Mabel Cooper
OF Merchantville. N. j., and opened a CORE
spondence. A day was appointed for her to
visit Mrs. Cooper Mt Pensauken, u lonely settle

Berry to a lonely part OF the country.

The letters were written by Lingo.
