man who courts death through some insidi- ous disease is pitiable, but not admirable That dread disease, consumption, slays more men and women than are slain by war famine and pestilence combined. It is an utterly unnecessary slaughter.
 Consumption is curable. One of the most eminent specialists in the world, Dr. R. V. Pierce, for thirty years chief consulting physician to the Invalids' Hotel and Surg ical Institute at Buffalo, N. Y, so pro- nounces it. He declares that thirty years ago he discovered medicine that cures oS per cent. of all cases of consumption In his great medical work, The Common Sense Medical Adviser,'' the names, ad- dresses, experiences and photographs of lnnuinerable consuinptives who have re- cine is known as Dr. Pierce's Golden Med ical Discovery. It is the greatest of all known blood-makers and flesh builders It gives edge to the appetite, makes digestion and assimilation perfect renders the liver and kidneys active, makes the blood pure and fills it with the fe-giving elements that build new and healthy tissue It strengthens the muscular system tones the nerves, pumps rich, red, healthy blood into every vital organ, and acting directly on the lungs drives out all impurities and dis ease germs. Thousands have testified to its marvellous merits. An honest dealer will not try to persuade you to take a worthless substitute for the sake of a little added profit

NEW JERSEY HERMIT DEAD.

Elizabeth, N. J., Sept. 6.-P. Johnson, seventy-six years old, an eccentric her init, died yesterday at little hamlet called Unionville, back of the road leao- ing to Summit. Johnson came from Connecticut ten years ago after the death of his wife. He leaves brother who is a farmer near Union, and to whom he had not spoken for years. Johnson was a veteran of the late war, having served in the First Connecticut Heavy artillery and drew a pension.
 After coming to Unionviile he refused to associate with anyone. He walked to the Union postoffice every three months and received his pension. On he had lashed number of ladders. Johnson used to climb at all hours of the day and night to the top of the tree, where he would pray loudly and sing old fashioned hymns.
 The grounds and fences about the place are covered with signs which he painted in big black letters. On the fence near the road is a sign which reads If you hitch here I'll cut you clear" Over the gate is huge sign, 'Intidelity is through ticket to hell without change of cars" At the side of the house is a sign six feet in length on red poles, Pride shuts the door of heaven and opens wide the gates of he'll" Over the we'll are the words "Glory be to Jesus" On the top Of the woodhouse q sign stands clear and bold, inscribed; My righteousness in the sight of God is as filthy rags" The hermit was short of stature, wrinkled and bent, and wore full shaggy beard. Arrangements were made for the funeral to-day al } o'clock in the old Connecticut Farms church.

SHOT A BURGLAR DEAD.

Policemen Chase Four Men in 8. Wagon
 Filled With Stolen Clothing-Escape
 of One Thief-Two Others Stopped at
 the Sound of the Fatal Shot,
 New York, Sept. 6,-Three burglars were captured at o'clock this morning in Brooklyn while driving away with a wason-load of stolen goods, In seuf- iie one of them was shot dead An other burglar escaped. The dead bur glar was Abraham Dorfman, thirty years old, of S2 Avenue c, this city. His body was taken to the Eastern Park way police station to await the arrival of the coroner, and two of the confed- lodged behind the bars in the same building The police then began look ing for the fourth man, who Is still at large.
 The burglars had planned a whole sale raid on one of the many clothing stores in Brownsville. They went about their work deliberately. One of their flrst steps was to steal horse and a set of harness. Having secured this, they proceeded to look for wagon. They succeeded in finding one belong ing to Philip Cohen, peddler living at 297 Watkins street. Cohens house is within eight blocks of the scene of the clothing house raid. The burglars were proving around Cohen's back yard about l:15 o'clock, when one of them stumbled over box and fell,
 The noise awakened Cohen Peering out of his window he saw the burglars at work. Hastily dressing himself, he seized his revolver and stole quietly down stairs. He came unexpectedly upon the thieves
 They coolly requested Cohen to loan them horse and wagon. Finally Co., hen let them have a team, receiving $2 cash down, he to get $S more next day.
 Thereupon the horse was hurriedly hitched to the wagon and the four burglars jumped in and drove away in the darkness. Two of the men lay in the bottom of the wagon and the other two sat upon the seat. As soon as they disappeared Cohen ran around to the Eastern Parkway station house.
 Sergeant Blarney was behind the desk when Cohen ran in and startled the policeman by telling him about the thieves.
 And If you want to get them you had better hurry up. for they won't be long about it. They're pretty slick ar ticles"
 Sergeant Blarney sent three officers to the spot designated. The police caught the burglars driving away with about $700 worth of clothing in the wagon.
 When within fifty feet of the wagon Roundsman Gaughran drew his reyol- yer and called to the burglars to halt. There was no response to his demand. The two men on the front seat sprang to the ground. Roundsman Gaughran raised his revolver and fired. The bull let struck Dorfman who was driving the wagon, in the back of the head. and he fell to the pavement dead. The man at his side escaped. The other two were captured
 Roundsman GaughTan made state ment to the sergeant, in which he de- clared that at the time he fired he had no idea of shooting either of the bur glars In fact, he Says he took no aim, and was shooting merely to frighten the men.

UNFAIR POLITICAL METHODS

UNFAIR POLITICAL METHODS.
Over in Sandyston, N. J. there
appears to be dissatisfaction among
the Democrats because the tickets

held on the day of the primary, by
another candidate for the same Of

Mr.. Smith made a mistake in TAX
ing Mr., Coles tickets and promising
to see that they were at the polling
place. Being a candidate himself
he should have declined any such
responsibility, if for no higher or
any other reason than to avoid sus-
picion but his greater mistake was,
after having accepted them, in re-
tanning them in his possession, or
at least not seeing that they were in
their proper place on the table.

A couple of months ago the free
traders looked complacently at the
large expectations of manufactures
under the Wilson law, and were
only waiting to point exultingly to
the falling off of these expectations
under the new law. 1t seems, how
ever, that they were wrong as
usual The first month of the opera :
tions of the Dingley law showed a
larger expectation of manufactured
articles than for any corresponding
month of preceding years. So much
for their statements that the enact
memo of a protective revenue law
would cut off our market abroad for
American manufactures.

cure. From the advertisement of
Chamberlain's Cough Remedy and
the many good recommendations in

make first trial of the medicine.
To say that it was satisfactory in its
results, is putting it very mildly,
