YOUNG AT SIXTY.

Serene comfort and happiness in ad-
vanced years are realized by compare,
lively few women.
Their hard lives, their liability to Sc
rious troubles on account of their pecu-
liar organism and their profound igno-
rance concerning themselves, all COM
bine to shorten the period of usefulness
and fill their later years with suffering.
Mrs. Pinkham has done much to make
women strong. She has given advice
to many that has shown them how to
guard against disease and retain vigor-
GUS health in old age. From every cor
ner of the earth there is constantly COM
ing the most convincing statements
from women, showing the efficacy of
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com
pound in overcoming female ills. Here
is letter from Mrs. j. c. Orms, of 220
Horner St., Johnstown, Pa, which is
earnest and straight to the point:
DEAR MRS. PINKHAM:-I feel it nv
duty to tell all suffering women that |
think your remedies are wonderful. /
had trouble with my head, dizzy spells
and hot flashes. Feet and hands were
cold, was very nervous, could not sleep
well, had kidney trouble, pain in
ovaries and congestion of the womb.
Since taking your remedies l am better
every way My head trouble is all
gone, have no pain in ovaries, and am
cured of womb trouble. | can eat and
sleep well and am gaining in flesh. 1
consider your medicine the best to be
had for female troubles"
The present Mrs. Pinkham's expert
ence in treating female ills is unparal-
lelled, for years she worked side by
side with Mrs. Lydia E. Pinkham, and
for sometime past has had sole charge
of the correspondence department of
her great business, treating by letter
as many as hundred thousand ailing
women during single year.

The largest wild beast bounty pay
ment ever made in any state is now
being made at Helena, Mont. It
amounts to S50,096 and represents
the balance due on the states paw
ment on the skins of SIG, 69S wolves
and coyotes killed in 1897. The total
cost to Montana's state government
for the killing of these animals in
1897 amounts to $50, $50, though claims
for more than $3.50, 600 were filed and
verified Besides this great sum paid
by the state, at least as much more is
paid by counties and private stockmen.
1t is estimated that the cost to Mon.
tana of keeping its wolf supply sta
tionary -for the bounty has no effect
in lessening the number-is not less
than $400,0 900 year. Lawrence

Youthful Marriages in AIgiers.

A census was taken lately in Alge-
ria, and it was found that the young
est Arab married man was twelve
years old, and that there were very
many boys who were married at thir-
teen and fourteen, while some at
fifteen years of age had several wives
There is youthful Algerian widower
of fifteen, and divorced husband of
the same age. Girls are still more pre-
cocious, and are sometimes married
when only eleven years old, though
twelve is the more usual age. There
are 1879 widows of fifteen, and 1176

DEATH or sAmUNA nALAlwEn1.
For Many Years n Prominent State Street
 Merchant

Merchant.
 Samuel Halliwell, aged sixty-eight years, who was for many years wholesale and retail dealer in teas, cof- fees and spices on State street, died at his residence in Tyler City at about a quarter of six o'clock last evening. He died of heart failure. For the last two years his health had been declining, but he had been in town attending to some of his business matters up to within two or three weeks ago, and he had been confined to his bed only about a week. Dr. M. c. White of this city was his attending physician.
 MT. Halliwell was native of Sun derland, England, and came to New Haven from England about forty-three years ago. He was a man of excellent business talents and soon made his way along prosperously and engaged in the tea, coffee and spice business, being associated in business at first with the late George Steele, their store being on State street where D. $. Coop CTS grocery store now is. Later MT. Halliwell was in the same business on lower State street, the late MT. Emory being associated with him there. The firm did large and prosperous busi- ness for years. Later MT. Halliwell was associated with our townsman, Philander Ferry, the Church street business man, in a large real estate transaction, they buying many acres in Tyler City and laying out many streets and avenues, they also erecting two large and fine residences on the most slightly elevation of the tract Other houses were also erected. Times of financial difficulty, however, came on in the country and the project did not prove financially remunerative. Mr. Halliwell had occupied the residence which he erected for the last twenty years. He was also connected finan- cially with a factory which was built at Tyler City, where sewing machine attachments were manufactured. The new village founded by Messrs. Ferry and Halliwell was named Tyler City in honor of the late Morris Tyler, who was mayor of New Haven at about this period. MT. Halliwell later was identified with the manufacture and sale of various inventions which he had had patented. In years past he had an office in the Benedict building. He did also considerable business in real estate in this city. He was years ago prominent member of the Church of the Ascension. He was also mem- Der of Harmony lodge, I. o. o. r. The deceased leaves to deeply mourn his loss his beloved wife. A month ago he buried his sister, Miss Isabella Halli- well, who died at her home in Tyler City.
 The funeral services will take place at the residence of the widow in Tyler City, time to be announced. The in- terment will be in the Orange ceme- tery.

 The association is now open to veter- an members of the steam fire depart ment. Of the veteran volunteer fire de- partment who have passed away with in a year or two are Charles Doty, John Uhl, George w. Stoddard, Joseph Cunningham and Thomas Chatterson, the New York merchant, and two who died last week, Andrew Wohlrabe of West Haven and Frederick Bostwick.
