The contest Of the qualifications of
Thomas 8. Lewis who was elected collector
and assessor Of tho Northern District Is Il
piece Of nonsense. 1t will be found to.
morrow evening when the SO called con.
tast comes up before City Council that his
property qualifications are all right. 1t is
. poor law that calls for such qualiflca.
tions. In other words, tho mans property
cuts more OF figure than does the fitness
Of the man holding the position. The
bonding Of the officer and his qualiflca-
-tions should cut more figure than that he
should be tho owner OF five hundred dol.
lars worth Of renl estate. We can say to
our readers that Mr.. Lewis was properly
q ialifled inside Of the ti,ne required by
law, and having received the majority of
the votes cast at the last election for tho
opsition will most surely serve his term
out. 1t only goes to show what tho Demo-
Gratis will attempt to do when they arc in

A SIXTY-POUND KID.

his arm 10 inches, his thigh 1s inches.
his calf IL inches, his head % inches.
A few comparisons will help one to
realize his greatness. A well-known
woman of feet inches finds O
20-inch waist sufficient, while many
a one boasts that she measures but 16
inches in this region. David beats the
bigger of them by 10 inches. 1t is to
be noted that his chest measurement is
the same as that of his waist. This
shows that he is not abnormally fat, as
we all know it is the first stage of
marked obesity to have waist larger
than ones chest. David's chest meas
urement is that of man-small, but
not remarkably so.
His neck is truly wonderful. 1t
measures 16 inches, size appropriate
to heavily-built man 6 feet high.
That should mean that David will be
very powerful man, for thick neck
is essential to great strength.
1t is very important to remember that
David is a healthy baby. If he is a
monstrosity, he is wholesome one.
He gives every indication of Astounding
vigor and vitality. His skin has a
healthy glow, his eyes are bright and
his hair is thick.
Many will suppose that David was
born great. That is not exactly SO.
Although he was a large child at birth,
he was not extraordinary. At the age
of IL months he had attained his 60
rounds.

outside. It is intended that when the
Judges have called off the vote from
each set of five, the whole ten shall
be drawn by the rollers down into the
hollow interior of the desk, and fresh
set of five (hewly pasted onto the
other) would be drawn up into position
for counting. 1t is intended that the
rollers be long enough and the desk
be wide enough TO provide for tally
sheet, arranged on an endless belt, NOV
ing simultaneously with the tickets.
This printed sheet is SPACED to CORE
spond with the tickets, and is expected
to come around regularly each tifijt
set of ten tickets is run through the
mill. Only small part of t'.c sheet
shows through an opening in t, G desk
hi any one time, but 1t ia properly sup
ported underneath. and folding arm
rest is provided for the use Of each
clerk OF the two desks engaged in re-
cording the vote, as the Judges declare
the same. A straight edge, reaching
clear across the desk up near the CEN
trail slot, serves as guide to the judges
eve in looking from ticket to the tally
sheet. Sockets are provided for lamps,
as the work must be done after day
light. Mr.. Greer claims that his plan
saves time, insures accuracy ind also
saves money to each ward or district,
although he Goes not point out how this
aforementioned advantage is secured.

Praises the Grandest Of Medicines,
Dr.. Greene'S Nervura.
Those Who Are Weak, Tired, Nervous, Out of
Health and Suffering, Will Take Renewed
Hope and Be Cured by Using This Won
derfuI Medicine, DR.. Greene's Nervura
Blood and Nerve Remedy.

DR.. Greene's Nervura blood and nerve
remedy is the best medicine and surest
restorer of health the world has ever
known.
All who are nervous, weak, tired, ex-
hausted in nerve power and physical
strength; who are sleepless, wake tired
and unrefreshed, without strength and
energy for the days work; who have
poor blood, neuralgia, rheumatism,
backache, dyspepsia, indigestion, gas,
bloating. faint feelings, loss of appe-
tite, constipation, kidney or liver COM
plant, should Immediately use DR..
Greene's Nervura blood and nerve
remedy. 1t will make you we'll 1t
gives splendid complexion, making
the cheeks glow and the eyes sparkle
with health. No remedy was ever so
successful in causing people to gain
flesh. By strengthening the digestive
functions, promoting assimilation and
enriching the blood, it causes the per-
son to gradually increase in weight
until the thin and slender parts assume
rounded and beautiful contour.
DR.. Greene's Nervura is the prescrip-
ton of the most successful physician
in curing nervous and chronic diseases,
hence it must of necessity be perfectly
adapted to cure just these complaints
It's discoverer, Or. Greene, of "a Tenn
pie Place, Boston, Mass, can be con-
suited free, personally or by letter.
If the bowels are constipated, use
DR.. Greene's Cathartic Pills in connec-
ton with the Nervura.

To Utilize the Earth's Heat.

According to the late expression OF
the trade and technical journals, the
utilization of the earth's heat will be
one Of the next triumphs of the engi-
neer. 1t is now pretty generally be-
lieved that this can be done by sinking
wells or shafts to the depth Of $4,000 or
$4,000 feet into the bowels Of the earth,
thus getting down to the central heat
of the globe. Some argue that so
great depth cannot possibly be at
tanned, but admit that 1t may not be
impossible to penetrate even to 10000
to 10000 feet with the improved ma.
chinery which the coming engineer will
have at his command. Water obtained
from depth Of even $4,000 feet would
have temperature of 200 degrees, CEN
tigrade, which could be used to heat
dwelling-houses and public buildings.
to say nothing of the immense amount
Of power it would supply.

to drive them back, but in vain. Mrs.
Mclaughlin went after her pets. She
was exasperated when they refused to
return at her bidding.
"You have no business wearing them
things" she said, pointing to suydam'S
whiskers. "Why don't you take them
Off The goats think It's hay"
Suydam did not like her talk. He

With .disorderly conduct. Lawyer Rich;

at has been shown" be said, address,
ing the magistrate, that this man
passed the house before the goats had
breakfast. They saw him coming and
looked up intelligently at him. How
could they resist such bunch as that?
Just look at the inducement. If were
goat the first thing l would do would
be to go for those whiskers. We find
by decisions In Massachusetts, Oklaho-
ma and Kalamazoo that when an ami
NAL pursues such thing MS that and
there is no evidence of viciousness It
merely acted with bad judgment.
"This man has no right to appear in
the public highway with such a show OF
whiskers. 1t is violation of the sump-
tuary laws. l quote from Coke upon
Littleton to show that a man has no
right to induce dumb animal to follow
him by wearing such whislers."
Justice Hubschmitt agreed with Law
ser Randall, and before acquitting Mrs.
Mclaughlin grayt'y told the farmer he
had violated the law. Suydam was not
represented by counsel. But he de,
clared he would engage lawyer and
have the case appealed
lie will spend much on the law rather
than remove his whiskers.

the glory of good name"
1t takes years to make a good name,
but when one generation educates a
following one to revere name which
has been endeared to them, then the
genuineness of that good name is I'M
questioned.
Such is. the standing of the name
Lydia E. Pinkham among the women
of America to-day, after years of con-
stancy, faithful and reliable service, her
whole life having been spent for the
benefit of others, and that her name
will be revered by one generation after
another is already being demonstrated.
The following letter from Woburn,
Mass, woman illustrates this fact,
having been benefited by Mrs. Pink
hams advice and remedies herself,
recommends the same treatment to her
daughters; and on Mrs. Pinkham's
files in Lynn, Mass, will be found hun
dreds of letters from women using ex-
presSions similar TO the following:

Representative women of our land
aye enthusiastic in praise of the mar
velous power to cure Of DR.. Greene's
Nervura blood and nerve remedy,
among them being one of the most
widely known women in America, Mrs.
Henry Ward Beecher, of 40 Orange ST.,
Brooklyn, N. Y, who is loved and
honored by everybody, and who speaks
to the people out of her deep regard
for humanity and her earnest desire to
see the weak, tired, feeble, nervous
and suffering restored again to health
and strength.
She has personally witnessed the
really wonderful effects of DR.. Greene's
Nervura in curing several of her
friends, and for the good of others, for
those who are out of health, she writes
to the people what she knows and has
herself witnessed Of the remarkable
beneficial and health-giving effects of
Dr. Greene's Nervura blood and nerve
remedy.
Mrs. Beecher says:-"1 have given
some of Dr. Greene's Nervura to several
friends who thought would be bene-
flied by it. They speak highly Of 1t,
and feel they have been much bene-
flied by its use.
"These people are very responsible
witnesses as to the beneficial characte
of the medicine, and l am reac 3 to
vouch for the honesty of their approval
of DR.. Greene's Nervura.
"If needed in my own case, l GER
tainly should use it."

laughed over it. Then he took his diary
next door and read it to the young
ladies.
After that everybody laughed over it.
The town boys especially were hilari-
Gus. There was a general demand for
something more from the pen of Jacob
Starr.
Mr.. Starr promptly responded. His
diary was produced whenever 1t was
demanded; and it is needless to say that
it was enthusiastically received.
One night the town boys got to-
gether. They looked over the Starr
liary, paid him call and then strung
him up to a tree down by the river side.
Mrs. Starr sat up all night waiting
for her husband, and in the early dawn
of Sunday morning she took a negro
boy in buggy with her and cut down
the dead body of the foolish man who
had attempted to keep war diary.
That was the end of the Jacob Starr
episode for awhile, but see it OCCASION
ally cropping out in almanacs and other
periodicals.
When we sit down and think of it
now, it strikes us all as a brutal thing,
but worse things occurred within a
stones throw of us.
When I take up the case of the bridge
| burners who were executed in Atlanta;
or when l mention half dozen incis
| dents under the administration of Capt.
G. Washington Lee or Capt. Peden, in
Atlanta, it will be easy for me to beat
the record of war time cruelty.
Some of these things are not pleasant
to contemplate now, but hundreds of
thousands of western soldiers still re-
member them. The western men have
not forgotten the case of the bridge
burners. They were the very flower
Of the western army, and the seven who
were hanged in Atlanta were regretted
by the confederates, while the eight
who escaped had the best wishes of all.

They sponged Their Whisky.

Necessity is the mother of invention.
Two tramps went into saloon at East
Oakland, Cal, the other day, and hand
ing demijohn over the counter, asked
the proprietor TO fill it with good
whisky. The saloon keeper obliged
them and was rendered a dollar in re-
turn. He at once refused it, as it was
debased. The tramps had no mere
money, and, there being no alternative.
the saloon man emptied the whisky
back into the cask and the tramps LEI;
with their demijohn. A few minutes
later the tramps went into vacant lot
and carefully broke the demijohn.
From the pieces they dclicately lifted
out a bath sponge. which was thorough.
ly soaked with whisky.

the inhabitants of New Tredegar that
he is the biggest baby in the world.
David is large in every sense. While
he is rather fat, he has also very large

grand jury and Edith was indicted on
a charge of assault and battery. Last
week she was tried before Jury and
found guilty.
Unfortunately for the girl Justice
Mccormick did not think that the girls
otfense was one that fine could atone
for. When he sentenced her to three
months Imprisonment In the county
Jail the blood surged to her cheeks and
she staggered as if someone had struck
her.
"What! I go to prison!" she screamed.
Then she became hysterical. When the
court officers tried to remove her she
resisted with all her strength. She was
finally led down the corridor Of the Jail,
sobbing as If her heart would break.
