have suffered agonies with bone cry. sipelas, and though under treatment of the best physicians, found no relief. One of my limbs was so swollen and inflamed that the doctors found it nec- essary to keep it 1anced, and the bone became so diseased that several pieces were discharged through the opening. It is impossible to describe the suffer- ing had to endure; sometimes able to hop around on crutches, and again unable to turn myself in bed. was so reduced in health that I weighed only eighty pounds.
 After lingering for three years, having been treated by four doctors, l was finally told that was incurable, and that would have to submit to the painful operation of having the bone scraped, or it would be necessary to amputate the limb. This positively refused to submit to.
 "A friend recommended s. s. S., knowing of it's wonderful reputation as blood remedy, and when 1 had finished one bottle felt an improve ment. I grew better as I continued the medicine, and after taking six bot ties was entirely well, my skin was clear and pure, and have no sign of the terrible disease. Igained I in health and strength until I now weigh 130 pounds, and all my relatives and friends are astonished at the wonder ful cure made by s. S. s."
 The above is but one of the many wonderful cures being made daily by S.S.S. Experience has shown that the doctors are absolutely unable to cure diseases of the blood, and of the many blood remedies offered to the public to-day, s. s. s. is the only one which cures obstinate and deep-seated cases.
 For real blood troubles, s. s. s. has no equal. It wipes out completely the most obstinate cases of blood diseases, which other remedies do not seem tc touch. s. s. s. gets at the root of the disease, and forces it out permanently.

MARKET CLERK SHORT.
Grants Friends Admit the Shortage and Say
 It Was Made Good.

The announcement made in The Age Herald of Thursday morning of the short- age of w. B. Grant, who was once mar ket clerk for the city has caused con- siderable talk in political circles, where ha was quite a factor. Many of the lead- ing politicians claim that they were net aware of an existing shortage. Since the announcement they have made inquiries and say that the shortage has been made good.
 w. B. Grant took the position as mar ket clerk in June of last year. There was bitter political fight made to secure his election. This caused a delay, and John Bnslen, brother of c. F. Enslen, who was then an alderman, was appointed temporarily. An effort was made to elect him permanently, and This caused an- other wrangle. At several meetings bal lots were taken, but always resulted in no election. Alderman Enslen, seeing the futility of further efforts to elect his brother to the office, cast the deciding vote in the meeting at which Grant was elected.
 During his term of office it was thought he made good official He was always in close touch with the leaders of the party and took a proninen. part in the ca mp a.gns. During the recent pree.den- tial ard n,ayorality contests in this city ho was in one Of the boxes as manager or clerk. He ceased to be marke. clerk

The great display of jewels by women
Of fashion on both sides of the ocean
las been severely criticised, even by
those who could well afford TO wear
jewels if they desired to. Buff tie
precedent of history furnishes any
justification for this fashion the Jewel
w"nrers of the present day are thor,
nughly justified. According to Pliny.
Lolita Pauline, the wife of Caligula
wore on her head. arms, neck, hands
ind waist penrls AMI emeralds to the
value of Si.GS0.OO0. Faustina had n
ring worth 100000. Domitia had one
worth 100000 and Caesonia had a
bracelet worth SiOO, 900. Seneca bewailed
that one pearl in each ear no longer
fui'ices to adorn a woman; they must
have three, the weight of which ought
TO be insupportable to them.
There were women in ancient. Rome
whose sole occupation was the healing
OF the ears of the bellies who had torn
or otherwise injured the lobes with the
weight of their pendants. Poppaea's
earrings were wortle S750,OOO, and
Caesars wife. Calpurnin, had a pair
valued at twice that sum. Marie de
Mchicis had a dress made for the cere,
mony of the baptism of her children
Which was trimmed with $4,000 pearls
una 1900 diamonds, and at the last mo-
ment she found it was so heavy she
couldn't wear IL and had to get anot her.
But men led in the splendor OF the mid
We ages, and Philip the Good of Bur-
gnndy often wore jewels valued at
fsoo'ooo. When he walked along the
streets the people climbed over each
other to get look at him. The duke of
buckingham wore a suit at the court of
st. James which cost 100000. The
rress of the mobiles during the middle
'ges was literally covered with gold and

Edward Parker Deacon Insane.

Edward Parker Deacon was committed
10 the Mclean asylum Saturday. He IS a
descendent Of an oil and once distinguish
ed family Of Boston, and bis exploits and
actions have been the talk Of society in
France. England and America since Feb.
l., 1892, when he sho, and killed NJ Emile
Abeille in Mrs. Deacon's apartments in
Cannes, France. Deacon was tried for
murder, but acquitted on the ground that
his action was justihable. He was given
the custody Of his children, and one OF his
daughters was for several years in the
Prospect Hill school al Greenfield, Mass
Deacon spent much time there and came
10 BrattlebOro occasionally, being at the
Brooks House for several weeks al one
time. He had the appearance while here
OF man OF very nervous, eXcitable TEN
permanent. Deacon was a cayalryman dur
ing the war, and his wife was a daughter
Of Rear Admiral Baldwin, the wealthiest
officer of the United States navy. Dea-
cons eccentricities have given him add
tiOnal notoriety several times recently, and
on Thursday he became violently insane at
Boston, and DIR. Jelley, the expert on in
sanity, advised that he be taken to an
asylum. When he reached the asylum he
quoted down and appeared contented. He
looked haggard and worn and seemed but
a shadow Of his former self. His halluci-
nations are that enemies seek 10 do him
harm and the hospital influence seems 10
have relieved his mind on this point.
