THE APPReClATIve THANK you.
II as the Small Comtesies That Make
Life Worth Liring.

II as me iSmdH (OUfteSicS 1hm MAKE
Life Worth Liring.
"On every hand one hears of the
neglect to say thank you,'" writes
Edward W. Box on "The Saying of
Thank Gou,'" in the November
Lodies' Home .Jomuol. 81 wonder
sometimes if some people really
know how little of what comes to
them is their due and right, and
how much of what comes to them is
by favor and courtesy. The vast
majority Of things which come to
us, come by pure favor, by courtesy
And we should recognize this. No
act of kindness, however slight,
should 90 unnoticcd. \ thank
you is simple thing to say it re-
Qulrcs but Il few moments to write
it, but it often means much; ii
means Il renewed faith in human
nature in some cases. \ word OF
thanks is never lost upon the per-
son to whom it is directed, its en-
preston has not been lost upon
some one else who has heard il. 1t
is certainly not lost upon ourselves.
The most of us are puick enough to
thank some one who does us great
service. But the small courtesy,
just as great as the large service i'll
reality, we overlook. 1t doesn't
seem worth while to give thanks for
small things, And yet what
would we be to-day, and where
would some of Us be but for the
small courtesies Of life? They are
what make life worth living.
"** 1t is all very well to have
the last Thursday of each Novem-
Der set apart as day Of Thanks
giving. But it would be far better
if a great many Of us carried the
spirit ofthe day into all the other
days. Perhaps, if we did so we
might have more mercies to be
thankful for on Thanksgiving Day.
**Do not let the spirit of thanks
stop with night-tall on THANKSGIVING
Day. Let us extend it to all the
other days Of the year, to the people
whose lives touch ours. When we
receive a favor at the hands of any
one, no matter how small it may be,
let us say the words, Thank YOU
If they should be written let us
write them. Let us not delay them,
but take advantage of the intent

Repair. su.pend.d For Lack of Funds.

WASHINGTON. Oct. 25-In his an
nual report to the secretary Of th'
navy Philip Hichborn. chief construct
or of the navy. says that the strength
OF the navy on Oct. 1 was 141 vessels
all told, including the ships OF both ole
and new navy. 1t is stated that dur
ing the last few months of the last
fiscal year considerable amount OF
work upon vessels that had been au
thorixed by congress had to be sus
pended owing to lack OF funds. Thi:
caused heavy drain upon the new
appropriations at the beginning Of thu
present fiscal year and makes the ex
haustion Of those appropriations befor'
the lst of next July almost certain.

He seemed b see worse all the while,
however, ese tie @iecaes fnallv resulted
in curvature of the spine, making him
utterly helpless.
"The bad sores on his neck increased
in size, and were a source Of constant
pain. He was in this pitiful condition
for two years, when some one recon-
mended S.S.S. stating that it had cured
some of the worst cases of blood diseases.
AS soon as his system was under the ef.
feet of the medicine, the sores began 10
get better, and in eight days were COM
pletely healed. Before long he could
walk on crutches, and was improving
every day. In three months he threw
aside his crutches, for he had no further
use for them; the dreadful disease had
been eliminated entirely from his sys-
TEN, and he was restored to perfect
health. The cure was permanent one,
as no sign Of the disease has returned
for ten years"
S.S.S. is a real blood remedy, and

Inherited
Taint.

Here is case Of inherited blood taint
which resulted in what threatened to be
a complete wreck Of an innocent young
life. The most serious feature Of being
afflicted with q blood disease is the fact
that innocent posterity must suffer. The
man or woman with the slightest taint
in the blood forces the undesirable leg
acy of impurity upon their children
whose veins flow with the impure inher-
itance which hsndicaps them in the race
of life.
No child who has a trace of bad blood
can be healthy or strong, and those pre-
disposed to Scrofula are liable to great
deal of sickness, because their constitu-
tions are weak and cannot withstand the
many dangers which beset the path of
childhood. Medical statistics show that
majority of lung troubles result directly
from Scrofula, so that child afflicted
with this disease is likely to fall VIC
tim to dreaded consumption.
Mr.. w. A. Clayton, OF Addie, N. c.,
believes S.S.S. is the only blood remedy
which can have any effect whatever
upon obstinate cases. He SAYS:
my three-year-old boy had the worst
case of Scrofula ever heard of. lie

HE GOT A SQUARE MEAL
Then Kelly Was Arrested for svtnd-
ling The Boarding HOuss keeper.

Thomas Kelly, thirty years Did, an al
legged boarding house swindler was ar
rested in Hobokan last night on complaint
of Mrs. Bowditch, who keeps a boarding
house at No. $40 Bloomfield street. Mrs.
Bowditch said that Kelly went to her
house early in the evening and said he
wanted to engage board for himself n
a brother. and tina both were employed
in the Hoboken Postoffice. He told Mrs.
Bowditch tina they would not receive
their wages until tomorrow, when they
would pay two weeks in advance.
Mrs. Bowditcn thought we'll of the
proposition and invited Kelly to dinner.
After eating more than three ordinary
meals he asked to be shown to his
room. saying that his brother would be
detained at the Postofice all night
Later in the evening Mrs. Bowditch be-
gan to grow suspicious. She had heard
that there were numerous boarding
house swindiers in the city, and decided
to go to the Postoffice and verify Kellys
story. The postal clerks told her that no
such man as Kelly worked there. Sew
eral persons had been there, they said,
inquiring after a man by that name.
Mrs. Bowditch then notified the police
and her would-be boarder was arrested.
Kelly told so many contradictory sto-
ries this morning that Recorder McDon-
ough decided to hold him for examina-
ton. The prisoner at first gave his adj
dress as No. 476 Broadway, New York,
but later admitted that he had no
home. The police believe that he has
worked the same game successfully in
other boarding houses throughout the
CITY.

FACTORY HURT BY BLASTING.

E. B. Colby & Co., range manufacturers,
SEN a letter to Mayor Hoos this morning
complaining about reckless blasting on
Hoboken avenue above Monmouth street.
The blasting has been going on for two
weeks or more. The sides of the COM
pany's plant AVE been extensively dam
aged by bits of flying rock. Windows
have been wrecked but the compan made
no complaint. The firms endurance gave
out yesterday noon when a good sized
rock dropped through the roof of its main
workshop.
The quarrymen. it is alleged, even
though warned to exercise more care,
have neglected to properly cover rocks
about to be blasted. The company de-
mands protection and requests Mayor
Hoos to see that it is accorded them at
once.
The Mayor at once notified Commits

Thomas Olsen, a I'LL man of No. Is
Willow terrace, Hoboken. is in st. Mary's
Hospital suffering from probably fatal in
juries, the result of a drunken light in
which he figured last night. George
Pfeiffer, of No. 1922 Willow avenue, is
locked up at Police Headquarters charged
with being responsible for Olsen's condi-
ton. The two entered a saloon at Second
and Adam street, last night. and began to
play pool. They drank freely during the
evening and in a short time both were
intoxicated.
AT eleven O'Clock a dispute arose over
a hot and the game broke up in a fight.
In the scuffle Pfeiffer struck Olsen a
heavy blow on the head with the butt end
of a cue. Olsen dropped to the floor un-
conscious. He was removed to st. Mary's
Hospital in the ambulance and did not
recover his senses until five o'clock this
morning.
Pfeiffer made his escape but was ar
rested this morning by Detectives Quinn
and Kivlon. He was held to avail the
result of his companions injuries. The
physicians at the hospital said that Oh
sens condition was critical. There are
chances, however, for his recovery.

CAPITALS Big BLAZE
The Losses Will Foot Up More
Than a Quarter Of a
Million Dollars.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 80. 1S9T.-Firemen
were still playing on the ruins of the inn
mense mira Power Station Of the Capt.
tai Fraction Company at ten o'clock this
morning. Nothing remains of the massive
six story structure saw a part of two
walls. The fire was one of the largest
ever known in Washington, and nothing
approaching it from a spectacular point
of view ever has been seen In this city,
where large fires are rare occurrences.
The exact cause of the fire is unknown.
Il broke out in Gettinger's printing office
on the second floor. The loss is rough
~ estimated at more than $75o,000. of
which the Capital Traction will lose $780,
900 or more, S25o,0o0 being in the building
and the remainder for machinery n
equipment. The ompany carried in the
neighborhood of $500. 900 insurance in local
and out of town companies, the Liverpool.
Londo and Globe, the Firenen's OF
Newark, N. j., and the Home Fire Insur-.
ance Company having the larger share.
The Traction Company will begin at
once the erection of another power house.
and as soon as possible it will reopen its
rapid transit system. Today the depart
ment clerks and business men along the
company's lines were carried to work be-
hind mules and horses hastily gathered.
The loss to the firms having quarters in
the power house will aggregate upwards
of $50, o00. The Lanston Monotype Com
pany lost $4,000 or more, principally ma
chimes and tools. The fire will throw
thirty of its employees out of work. The
Southern Railway Company had several
offices in the building, and while its money
loss is small it will take considerable time
to replace the drawings, records and
documents destroyed. The losses of the
score or more other occupants of the
building will range from $1,000 to 5000 0
EACH.
A number of buildings in the immedi-
ate vicinity suffered from the fierce
blaze, the largest loser being Charles
tents were damaged to the extent of $685.
600, no insurance.
