BOWLING LAST NIGHT,

The Orients by rolling the highest total
of the season on team totals, 1886, easily
beat the crack Willard team on Pines
alleys where as has been shown in all
games the Wizards are not at home. The
Willards should have won the first string
on account of the fine string of Willard,
III, the highest single of the seaso but
as some of the team rolled very low
strings for them his efforts were of no
avail. The team rolling of the Orients
was exceptionally fine, every man secur-
ing good total, with Payson securing
the honor of being high man for the eve-
ming, 28s. Willard being second at 27S.
Dow, J. Mitchell and Waite also secured
good totals. The Wizards started in very
strong and held the lead nearly the whole
of the first string, but on the last frames
they took bad tumble and lost by four
pins. On the last two strings they were
not in it at all. The score:

"A Peculiar Incident.
At Woman's rIeeting.

An incident occurred at the W. G. T..
U. State convention at Cortland, New
York, early in October, that marks an
era OF progress, and is interesting mas
much as it indicates the trend of thought
OF the present day. 1t was proposed that
Postum Cereal Coffee be serve at meals
for delegates, in place of ordinary coffee
Some of the ladies stated that they had
tried Postum once and did not fancy IL.
However it was served at the first general
meal and the Indies were very emphatic
in their terms of approval. Some one
thereupon put the question, whether the
convention be served with ordinary coffee
or with Postum, and the vote was for
Postum without one dissenting voice,
the ladies focling about the cook to as
certain how to make such a delicious
beverage on which many of them had
failed in their first attempts. The an
swer was simple; boil IS minutes after
boiling commences, while for church sup
pers, conventions, etc., enclose the pro-
duct in two cheese cloth bags in coffee
boiler, and boil one hour. The famous
Postum Coffee thus made furnishes hot
beverage full of nourishnent for nerves
and brain and delicious to the taste.
People are slowly awakening to the fact
that the daily dragging with narcotics
in the shape of coffee and tobacco accounts
for the many ills of head, nerves, heart
and stomach The action of the New
York state convention indio ties their IN
telligence on the subject in hand.
Beware of harmful substitutes and
adulterated coffee sold for Cereal Coffee
under same fetching name. Genuine
packages have red seals thereon and the
words at makes red blood.

BELKNAP MOTOR COMPANY

oELhNAP MOIOR COMPAN Y.
The annual meeting of the stockholders
of the Belknap Motor company was held
at the office of the company, corner of
Cross and Fore streets at p. m. yester-
represented. The report of the treasurer
was read and approved. The president S
and general managers report giving the
results of the year was very Entertaining
and it goes without saying that when
this company wants more capital it will
meet'with no difficulty in obtaining it,
for any company that can earn 10 per cent
and pay per cent these times is entitled
to about what 1t asks for. Six per cent
dividend was declared payable December
10Th. The same old board of directors
was reelected, viz: George W. Brown,
Seth L. Larrabee, Bryce M. Edwards,
E. B. Winslow, E. R. Payson, W. H.
Scott and E. r. Dyer. At subsequent
meeting of the directors, George W..
Brown was elected president and general
manager; Clinton L. Baxter, treasurer,
and Seth Larrabee, clerk. Good stuff is
the secret of the Belknap Motor Co. IS sue
cess. A poorly designed motor may go,
and apparently all right, but the question
is how much electricity does it take to
move it2 Belknap machines, both motors
and dynamos, are very efficient. There
are other machines that are so wasteful of
current that If offered as gift you could
not afford to accept them, as you would
buy them over and over again every year.
A word to the wise Is sufficient.
