Now at st. Michaers Awaiting Trans
portation.

Now at st. Michael's Awaiting Trans
portation.
San Francisco, Aug. 3-Reports re-
-ceived by local transportation COM
pany from it's agent at Dawson say
that there are now seven thousand gold
seekers on the Klondike fields or in
the immediate vicinity. Provisions
there are very high, flour selling for Sc
per sack
The agent says that prospects for
future finds are small. Claims have
been staked out at every point, but
quartz leads have not yet been found.
Prospectors have gone to a promising
field sixty miles beyond the Klondike
to the east, but for fear of bears and
also on account of the swarms of mos
quitoes they found there they have
abandoned their claims and have re-
turned.
The claims which are being worked
on the Klondike show no signs of CIV
ing out, nor Is there any diminution in
the yield of most of them. The agent
estimates that at least $4000,O00 in gold
dust has been sent to St Michaeps and
will be brought to Seattle and San
Francisco by the next steamship.
There is no sign of abatement in the
Yukon craze here. Expeditions are
continually fitting out The Chilkoot
Pass is reported to be blocked by pro-
visions, which are being rushed to
Dawson in anticipation of the early
setting in Of winter. 1t is reported
from Juneau that SO MANY provisions
are now on the way that it will take
year to transport them to their des-
tination.

ELIHU BURRITTs LIBRARY.
Valuable Books of Learned Blacksmith
Neglected.

Valuable Books of Learned Blacksmith
Neglected.
In corner Of a. small room on the
second floor of the Burritt school and
overlooking East Main street, says the
New Britain Herald, in case more re-
markable for it's height than its width,
is the library of our distinguished
townsman, the late Elihu Burritt
The case has not been opened in
some fifteen or twenty years, the key
has been lost for the greater part of
that period and the valuable books of
! the Learned Blacksmith have not
only not been touched by human hands
but are covered with dust. Professor
Hubbard has been looking at the col
lection through the glass Of late, and
j. H. Kirkham has been talking about
! it. When Mr.. Kirkham was address
ing the educational classes at the Y. M.
! c. A. Tuesday evening he spoke Of
Elihu Burritt as self-made man and
said that his books in the Burritt
school would have an honored place
In the new building, which is soon to
be erected by the New Britain Insti-
tute.
| 1t is strange that the books have not
| been placed in the present institute
building, where they could be more &C.
cessible than in the locked-up book
case, and could be put to the use for
which their owner intended. The col
lection comprises most of the books in
various languages which Mr.. Burritt
collected during the twenty years pre-
| ceding his death, together with his
manuscript handbooks in Hebrew,
Arabic, Turkish, Persian and Hindus-
TAM, also a copy of each one Of his
books published in this country and
in England, and all his private jour-
| nails.
| In the case Is package done up in
brown paper, on the dusty outside of
which are the words Household Mon
uments to Charles Dickens" This
package is supposed to contain clip
pings from newspapers concerning the
noted English novelist, for whom Mr.
Burritt had g. great admiration, and
were collected by him with view of
publishing them apparently under the
title given above. Some Of the books
in the case bear evidence Of age and
much use, the names on many can
scarcely be deciphered and their torn
and worn covers suggest the burning
of the midnight OIL by him, who
found time to study while working at
J the forge and who committed to men,
DRY Latin grammar in six months.
| Elihu Burritt made 1t a practice to
make a memoranda of the daily events
in his life, also such other events as
came to his notice and in which he was
particularly interested, and all these
are recorded in his private journals.

FOR THE BABY.
Valuable Hint to Every Father and
Mother.

There are two kinds of babies in the
world; the kind who have too little nou-
rishment, and the kind who have too
much.
The first kind of babies starve be-
cause their stomachs are too weak to
digest the amount of food necessary for
their growth and healthful development
and the other kind are overfed, with
the result that the delicate stomach and
intestines are inflamed and, as every
mother knows, thousands of infants die
yearly, when warm weather begins,
from stomach and bowel disorders.
Opiates, soothing syrups and cathar-
ties, however mild, are not what is de-
manded. Go to the root of the trouble,
assist the child's digestion, give the
little stomach the aid necessary to tho
roughly and promptly digest it's food,
and the little one will thrive and grow
and gladden. the mothers heart.
To give perfect digestion to the child
it is only necessary to give in pleas
ant form the harmless digestives con-
tanned in the well known tablets sold
in drug stores under the name of Stu
arts Dyspepsia Tablets. Stuart's Tab
let's contain no so-called drugs, but are
composed of pepsin, pure aseptic, fruit
acids, starch digestives, and are put up
in lozenge form, with sugar of milk,
very pleasant to the taste, and have
been used for years as the safest, best
remedy for any form of indigestion and
stomach trouble in adults, but recently
many remarkable cures have been
made in the cases of weakly babies who

A Buffalo mother, a short time ago
who despaired of the life Of her babe,
was so delighted with the results from
giving the child these tablets, that she
went before the notary public of Erie
Co., N. Y, and made the following affi-
davit:--
Gentlemen:-Stuart's Dyspepsia Tab
let's were recommended to me for my
two months old baby, which was sick
and puny and the doctors said was suf-

child to the hospital, but there's found
no relief. A friend mentioned the Stu
art Tablets and + procured box from
my druggist and used only the large
sweet lozenges In the box, and was de-
lighted to find they were just the thing
for my baby.
feel justified in saying that Stuart's
Dyspepsia Tablets saved my childs
life MRS. w. T. DETHLOPF.
Subscribed and sworn to before me
this 18th day Of April, 1897.
HENRY KARIS,
Notary Public in and for Erie Co., NY,
For babies, no matter how young or
delicate, the tablets will accomplish
| wonders In increasing flesh, appetite
and growth. Use only the large sweet
tablets in every box Full. sized boxes
are sold by all druggists for 50 cents,
and no parent should neglect the use Of
this safe remedy for all stomach and
bowel troubles If the child is ailing In
any way regarding it's food or assimila-
ton.
stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets has been
known for years as the best prepara-
ton for all stomach troubles whether
in adults or infants.

In answer to inquiries, Mr.. Powderly
said he had formulated no particular
policy for the administration of his Of

strict and impartial Interpretation of

that every proper effort should be
