These crackers are very carefully nut up in
attractive one pound cartons, odorless psrch.
ment paper being used on thu inside and n
wrapper tunder seaD covering the outside of
the carton, thus protecting the goods from

one of the most widely known men 10
the State, was cured of rheumatism al
ter three years of suffering. He says !:
81 bave not sufficient command OF
language to convey any idea of what I
suffered, my physicians told me Il a
nothing could be done for me; aud my
friends were fully convinced that nc
thing but death would relieve me OF my
suffering. In June, 1894, Mr.. Evans,
then salesman for the Wheeling Drug
Co., recommended Chamberlaip's PAIN
Balm. A. this time my foot AID limb
were swollen to more than double their
normal size and it seemed to me my
leg would burst, but soon after be-
gan using the Pain Balm the swelling
began to decrease, the pain to leave,

DISTRICT EPWORTH LEAGUE.
For the First Time the Body Chooses
Lady Secretary.

The vacancy in the Office of secretary of
the Epworth League of Washington dis
trict, caused by the resignation of Secre-
tary Frank I. Israel, was filled last even
ing at meeting of the board of control at
Foundry Church by the election of Miss
Corinne Chandlee. This is the first time
that the Office of secretary of the league
has been filled by lady, though several
ladies have at one time or another been
elected as vice president. Miss Chandlee
is a member of Foundry Chapter, in which
she has held several important positions,
and during the last year or two has been
prominent among the young lady workers
of the District League.
The positions of chairman of the press
and OF the printing committees, respective
ly, also held by Mr.. Israel, will not be fill
ed until the next meeting, and possibly not
until the annual meeting of the league
The board of control yesterday evening
decided to hold the annual convention of
the organization Friday, Saturday and
sunday, November II, IL and II. The ses-
sion of Friday will be limited to the even
ing of that day, and will probably take the
form OF a conservation meeting. Reports
OF committees, conferences in the after
noon, an address in the evening and the
annual election of officers will take up
most of the day Saturday, while Sunday
there are to be religious services in several
of the churches. This latter feature, wheth-
er the league should have religious exer-
cises on Sunday, was much discussed yes
terday evening, and the general opinion
seemed to be that they should, though il
was urged by several that in previous
years they had interfered with the regular
services of the various churches.
The cabinet of the league is to have
charge of the work of making up the pro-
gram in detail, and during the progress of
this work they will endeavor to secure
some prominent speaker to address the
convention. The matter OF selecting a
place in which to hold the sessions of the
convention, and the religious services as
well, has also been left to the cabinet for
decision.
During the latter part of this month or
the first part of October the literary de-
partment of the District League, in charge
of the District third vice president, Is to
hold mass meeting. during the course of
which the literary work of the organiZa-
ton accomplished in the past year will be
reviewed and new work PLANNED.

POST OFFICE CONTEST.
Differences Over Proposed Change at
Washington Grove.

Differences Over Proposed Change al
Washington Grove.
There is a post office contest being waged
now at Washington Grove, Nd, which may
become as famous as the Brightwood Park
case. recently decided by the department.
The contest Is over the appointment of a
postmaster to succeed present Postmaster
Woodward. who has held the place for sew
eral years, and Is being waged on the one
hand by the persons who spend the sum-
mer there at the camp meeting grounds.
and on the other by the regular patrons of
the office from the Grove and surrounding
locality.
A committee recently called upon Fourth
Assistant Postmaster General Gristow rep
resentfng the campers at the Mace. They
do not want the man appointed whom the
department has practically decided upon,
as the location of the post office will be
changed, and the campers will find it
necessary to cross the railroad to get their
mail, which is the chief reason they urged
against having the change made
The villagers and persons residing there
permanently want the change. it is said,
as the office will be near the railroad sta
ton. They think the new man will make
an excellent official, though they can bring
no charges against the present postmaster.
1t is almost certain that the department
will appoint the man the campers do not
want, but the committee was assured the
fourth assistant postmaster general would
make a careful examination of the matter
before doing anything.
