Francis Murphy, the widest known
Temperance advocate in the world, was
born 60 years ago in a humble cottage
in Ireland. He is the founder of the
'blue ribbon and iron clad pledge"
movements, Mr.. Murphy and Mr..
Moody have recently been laboring to-
gether in some of the large cities. How
deeply they have entered into the af-
fections of the country everyone knows.
Five thousand people have just signed
Mr.. Murphy's temperance pledge in
Boston.
Mr.. Murphy is a great believer in
Paine's celery compound. For years
he has been thoughtfully observing
and advising men for their bodily and
spiritual welfare.
ga sound mind in a sound body"
has been the constant theme of this
great philanthropist.
Because of its power of strengthen
ing and restoring the nerves and brain
Paine's celery compound is used today
in many such families as that of Mr..
Murphy where no other remedy would
be thought of for a moment.
Mr.. Murphy writes to The Boston
GLo6e:-"Paine' celery compound has
been used in my family with good eff
feet. 1t is a splendid remedy"

The Father of the House.

Thomas Bracket Reed will be "the
father of the house" in the Fifty fifth
congress, having served continuously for
10 years, or since his election to the
Forty fifth congress in 1877. Judge Gull
berson of Texas was elected in 1875,
and was father of the house" in the
session of the last congress, but he has
given way to another Democrat, John
W. Crawford. Congressman Hammer of
Philadelphia was elected in 1871, but
he was out in 1875. General Bingham
of Philadelphia was elected in 1879,
two years later than Mr.. Reed. Benton
McMillin of Tennessee was elected in
1879. Joseph Cannon of Illinois was
elected in 1878, but he failed to be re-
turned for the Fifty-second congress.
Galusha A. Grow of Pennsylvania was
a member of congress as long ago as
1851 and was speaker of the house in
1861. Mr.. Grow, however, was out of
politics from the Thirty seventh to the
Fifty-third congress. If Mr.. Reed is
chosen speaker again this term, he will
be the first father of the house" to be
at the same time speaker of the house.
Mr.. Reeds period of service is a short
one when compared with that of the
father of the house of commons, the
Right Hon. c. p. Villiers, Unionist
member from Wolverhampton, whose
record runs back without interruption
for 81 years.-New York Times.

The discoverer of this most success
full of remedies was no mere theorist.
Prof. Edward E. Phelps, NJ. D., LII. D.,
of the Dartmouth Medical School had
accumulated the most absolutely con-
vinCing evidence of the remarkable
virtue of his great discovery, enough
to satisfy the most skeptically inclined
person, before he offered Paine's Gel
cry compound to his fellow practition-
ers and to the world.
For absolute reliability in routing
out obstinate disorders from the sys-
TEN there is nothing that resembles or
approaches it. Paine's celery com
pound should be taken by everyone
who is trying to get rid of nerve OF
blood diseases or a disordered cOndi-
tion Of the liver or kidneys.
Such evidences of an unhealthy con-
dition as those constant headaches,
melancholy, dyspepsia or constipation
rapidly disappear under the cleansing,
regulating action of Paine's celery
compound.
Don't confound PONIES celery COM
pound with the ignorant, catch-penny,
short-lIved remedies, -sarsaparillas,
nervines and tonics that bear as much
resemblance to Paine's celery COM
pound as the parasite vines do to the
oaks that they live on. Don't take any
thing less than Paine's celery COM
pound.

Pawtucket, r. l., March 24.-Eisht
houses in this city and Central Falls
were broken into ear y yester day morn
ing, but strange to say the thieves did
not secure a dollars WUT.n OI plunder.
! Only one burglar was seem although
! it is believed that there were two. His
description was similar to that of the
tall man who has been concerned in
recent Providence hold-ups, and at four
places where he was seen he had
black handkerchief over his face.
At the house of Samuel M. Conant, on
Clay street, a burglar ate chicken and
salads, and packed up the silver. A
man on the second floor awoke Mrs.
Conant, and she screamed. He ran
down stairs and out of the house.
George c.. Stiness, on the same street,
was awakened by an unusual noise, and
saw a man crawling into his window.
He chased the intruder and the latter
jumped the fence into the yard of Leon
ard Watson.
Mr.. Stiness returned to the house, and
the burglar broke window in Mr.
Watsons house and climbed in. He was
frightened away. Then he returned to
Clay street, and tried to get into the
house of Charles M. Nichols, next to
Mr.. Stiness'. He awakened the oc-
cupants, and again fed. By this time
the nelghborhood was pretty well
aroused, but, nevertheless, the burglar
ran across the street and forced a win
dow in vacant lower tenement. Here
he remained until the excitement sub
sided, when he tried to enter another
tenement, but did not get in.
John f. Marshall, the occupant of the
next house, was awakened by someone
fumbling about his window. He spoke
and the noise ceased.
The man entered the house of Charles
E. Dean on Illinois street, and searched
several articles of clothing. He lighted
a match and awakened Mrs. Dean. She
screamed and the man ran and escaped.
He went several blocks and entered the
house of Freeman Mccartney. Here
he was seen and frightened away.
Thomas WEIGH, on Jentts street, heard
the man in his house, and rose and got
his revolver Mrs. Welch woke up and
thought her husband had gone crazy.
She screamed and held onto him and the
burglar got away.
