There are many ways of keeping the
great dead in perpetual remembrance.
A magnificent tomb, a monument, a
statue was the ancient way. To erect
memorials that will bless mankind,
while recalling a name that deserves
the honor of posterity, is modern
idea. One of the pleasantest and most
merited tributes of this sort is the
setting apart of Elmwood, the home
stead of James Russell Lowell, in Cam
bridge, as a public park. The project
bids fair to succeed; and until a degen-
crate age shall dispose of the land for
money, the public pleasure ground will
be a perpetual reminder of America
poet, statesman and scholar.

A remarkable discovery has been
made in Connecticut. By an error in
the statutes it is almost impossible to
punish a man for bigamy. 1t is not
crime for man to be married to more
than one woman so long as he does not
live with his wives. Who knows but
the members of the legislature intended
to have the law read just as it does?
Of course, the women will see that 1t IS
repealed.

TOM In the Matter.
Havana, Aug. 81. - 1t is asserted
here that it was the intention of Cant
Gen. Weyler as the result of quiet and
friendly influence on the part of Con
sui General Lee, to issue an order dis
missing the case of Miss Cossie Cis-
neros in short time. In view of the
publicity given to the case and the
many contradictory assertions made in
regard to it, the captain general has
decided to postpone action for the pres
ent. The military commander of the
Isle OF Pines recently stated that
many of the statements made with
reference to Senorita Cisneros were
without foundation, and that SO far as
he could judge no extreme sentence
would be imposed upon her.

Cold Weather
Brings Catarrh.

> Though the disagreeab1e effects of Ca
garrh are felt all the year round, cold and
ddisagreeable weather aggravates the
disease and it is during the winter sea-
son that its severest form is felt. Each
succeeding year seems to intensity the
disease, so that it gradually fastens its
h0ld upon the sufferer with grasp that
Becomes hrmer each season.
Catarrh often appears as only cold at
&rsts aud is hardly noticed. But gradu-
ally the cold returns, and it is more
difficult to cure, and stays longer than for
xncrly. These symptoms cannot be mis-
za7cen; they mark the first appearance of a
disease that will develop in severity and
sfnhbornness, and which it is impossible
socure with the local treatment of sprays,
washes, and similar applications. Being
n disease of the blood, only a blood
remedy can have the slightest effect
upon it. SIS. (Swift's Specifc) is the
only cure for Catarrh, because it is the
snly blood remedy which goes to the
seat Of all obstinate and deep-seated
eases, and forces out the disease.

BUNGE rs BOUND OVER.
He Is Placed Under $4,000 Bonds for
His Appearance;


His Appearance,
1t has been years since such revolt
ing story has been told in our local
courts as that which was told by Mrs.
A. j. Forester, when she took the
stand this morning to testify at the
preliminary hearing fof, Joseph Bunge.
The story cannot be printed it is so
terrible.
Bunge was taken before Justice Sla-
ter on the double charge of burglary
and rape. Undoubtedly the case is one
growing out of the depravity stimula-
ted if not aroused by reading such
things as the lives of Jesse James
and his gang. He told the women
while he was in the house that he was
regular Jesse James and that he
must have money. Evidently the fell
low had been drinking, and the drink
served to inffame him to commit his
beastly deeds. After Mrs Forester
testified Miss Ella Snowden, her sister,
who was with her the night the crime
was committed, Oct. 20, told similar
story and corroborated her sister. The
husband, A. j. Forester, Mr.. and
Mrs. G.. A.. Truesdell also testified.
When they had finished District Attor-
ney Buckmaster asked that the bonds
be fixed at $4,000. Attorney Fisher
made no objection and the bonds were
