or any of the numerous other active prin-
eiples which we now have of valuable
drugs.
You surely have succeeded in introduc-
ing TO the medical profession new tonic
reconstructor that is bound to entirely
supersede anything that has ever before
been known"
ut is just the fact that Vinol contains
the actual curative principles of the cod s
liver that gives it its great popularity
The public have learned TO recognize the
benefit Of taking medicine in a concen-
trated form and at the same time in a
smaller quantity. The public with avidi-
" recognized that when cod liver oil was
necessity, Vinol fulfilled all the require
mentS, and by using 1t they were able to
get the part of the cod liver oil that they
needed, the medicinal part. They also
found out that these remedial features
were not unpleasant, when separated from
the grease, and when prepared as il
Vinol became even delicious,
81 am glad that you have not found Il
necessary to start in again this winter
taking Vlnol. You do seem to have beer
in perfect health ever since you started
using 1t last year, but then, If anything
happens to you in the future | do MOI
think you Will ever forget that Vinoi Is
just the thing that will do you the most
good Yours very truly, BREWER &
Co" worcester representatives Chester
Kent & Co.

The sales of Vinol are more than full
hlling our anticipations," said a prom
inent chemist of this city yesterday It Is
really not to be wondered at, for Vinol
has merit. Never before has anything
created such widespread enthusiasm
have Just received another letter from
G. brother chemist in Brockton, Mr. Chas
N. Swift, who Is very well known in that
city. He has been taking u lively interest
IN P1nol and writes to me as follows:
Il have watched the progress of Vinol
with the most acute interest 1t has
proved to be the greatest success of any
remedy that has ever come to my notice.
Inc reason for its success must be ap-
parent to all chemists who look for real
value in the goods which they handle. |
nave made careful study of Vinol and
ma it to be in every particular as YOU
represent it. 1t does not take a chemist
however, to find out that il is most deli
cious to the taste. To this is owes i'm a
large measure its usefulness for creating
a healthy appetite
AS a chemist however I am pleased
to state that in my estimation you have
undoubtedly succeeded completely in pro
curing the active curative principles from
the liver of the cod, without the obnox-
ious and unnecessary grease Vinol is. as
you say, remedy which contains the
medicinal principles of the Gods liver. or.
IN other words, it actually does bear the
same relation to cod liver oil as quinine
does to cinchona bark, morphine to opium

AMUSING SCENES.
Auction Sale in Hibernian Hall Proves
to 3e the Thing.

Auction Sale in Hibernian Hall Proves
to Be the Thing.
There was an auction sale in Hiber-
MAN hail last evening of articles left
over from the festival held lately In
Mechanics hall There was a large at
tendance, and the bid ling vas brisk.
John j. Rogers officiated as auctioneer.
The sale afforded much amusemenc tc
those present. There was great rivalry
among the bidders and the successful
one in each case was literally applaud
ed by the crowd. Some received bar
gains for their efforts, while others did
not fare as well.
There was no grumbling, however;
those who got left" seemed as happy
as the ones who got value for their
money.
The most exciting episode of the eve
ming came at the close of the auction
Auctioneer Rogers held up a large cigar
box, which he declared once held a
hundred cigars but at the present time
did not contain that number, but he
stated that the box was half full I'm
mediately those who knew a good
thing" commenced bidding, anticipating
the pleasure of fragrant cigar to
while away the long hours of winter S
evening. The auctioneer did not have
to use much effort, as the bids came
thick and fast At last the box half
full Of supposed cigars was knocked
down to Thomas Grogan amid great
applause.
The lucky bidder tucked the box I'M
der his arm and hied himself away to a
corner to inspect his prize. He was
followed by his enemies in the contest,
the spectators and the newspaper men.
He wore q II told you So smile upon
his countenance. The countenances of
his brother contestants wore envious
smiles, The excitement increased as
he proceeded to open the box. The
crowd pushed closer. Some to see how
many cigars were in the box; others
thinking that there might be a free
blow of cigars, and they wanted to
be in it. The box was opened. Yes, it
was half full-of paper.
The successful bidder said things
The II told you so'y smile faded away,
and an envious smile took its place
The countenances of the unsuccessful
bidders lost the smile of envy and an
expression denoting, I'VE knew it all
the time" shone in its stead.
The ones who were willing to smoke
with the man who had the box, sudden
ly discovered that pipe smoking was
good enough for them-cigars were a
nuisance
The man who had the box dropped it
end started for home, saying things as
he went.

Second Phone

LOOKING WE'LL.
Committee Meets and Elk
changes Reports.

The committee appointed at a recent
meeting of those interested in the for
nation of an independent telephone
company in Worcester, held their first
full meeting at the office of Henry f.
Harris, 500 State Mutual building, last
evening,
| There were present William H. Burns,
E. P. Curtis, F. o. Plummer and Henry
F. Harris. This was the initial meet
ing Of the committee with full attend
ance, as Mr.. Burns has been out OF
| town.
Reports were made to the effect that
the committee had canvassed the mat
ter of construction and installation OF
| a telephone exchange in Worcester,
with most gratifying results. The mat
ters of laying underground conduits,
running overhead wires and the detail
work of establishing telephone ex-
| change in this city has bean thorough
ly investigated, and the committee are
| satisfied that such an exchange can
be installed and with 1900 subscribers
| give satisfactory service, for about half
the rates charged by the present COM
pany
| The promoters feel that their inves-
| tigation of the cost attending a ven
| ture of this sort, and their plans for
| future operation will strike the people
| of Worcester as attractive and worthy
| of their support. The committee is
| anxious to interest best men in the
matter, and with their hearty cooper
alton, boom the company to success
full issue.
1t was reported at the meeting that
representatives of the Peopless Tele-
phone and Telegraph Co., of Which /
L. Currier is president, have been Sc
curing subscribers on the statement
that the movement to start a company
by Henry F. Harris, F. .. Plummel
and others, is identical with the Peo'
, pies Company. The committee wish
it distinctly understood that then
movement to form an independent com
} pany in this city, is in no way con
7 nected with the Currier company, and
that any person representing any sucl
connection between the. two, speaks {
J falsehood.
The committee feels the outlook fol

in 1858, when huge tidal wave swept
inland and flooded the whole city. The
wave carried the sloop several miles in
land. and finally landed her in the
midst of a tropical forest. 1t was i'm
possible to release her from such pc
culiar position, and the government
sold her for a nominal sum. The pur-
chasers turned the vessel into a hotel,
and the remains of that once formida-
BILE war vessel loom up in the tropical
forest today as a monument to the pow
er of tidal waves.
Among other cases of disaster, which
are attributed to the violence of the
waves or weather, there is none more
interesting than that of the strange
fate of the Saratoga. When she sailed
from Philadelphia in October, $780, un-
der the command of Capt, James
Young, there was no finer nor hand
somer war vessel afioat. That she was
as formidable as she was attractive was
soon demonstrated in a practical way.
After cruising around a short time she
captured three British vessels in sue
cession, and then with her prizes she
started to return to Philadelphia. But
off the Delaware capes she encountered
British ship of line. AS the Saratoga
carried only Is guns and the Intrepid
was a 74-gun ship, Capt. Young consid-
cred it safer to run away. The enemy
did not chase her far, but returned to
protect and recapture the British prizes.
The Saratoga sailed away in the very
teeth of a storm, and she was never
heard from again. Did she founder at
sea in the gale or was she blown up by
her own magazines ?-Leslie's Week

Cape Giradeau, Mo, Oct. 18.-The
opening races in the championship were
run here today. With the exception OF
Major Taylor, all the cracks who par
ticipated in the contests at st. Louis
last Saturday and Sunday were pres
ent. The colored rider came here, but
departed later because Of the inhos-
pitable treatment he received. Today's
program included a one mile champion
snip event. Gardner won by half a
length, with Kimble but a foot to the
good OF Cooper. Time, 207.
The event of the day was the multi

LOCATION SETTLED.
jubilee Fountain to Be Placed North
westerly of the City Hall.


After much wrangling and debate the
question as to where the Victoria jul
bilee fountain shall find a resting place
has been decided. This was not done,
any way interested in it's location had
met in joint convention and viewed
and discussed all of the sites mentioned
The city hall commissioners, w. H.
Sawyer and H. S. Prentice, the park
commissioners, e. p. Curtis, o. b. Had
win, William Hart and James Draper;
the special subcommittee from the
committee on streets, Henry Brannon
and James F. Ryan, together with
Rev. George w. Kent, Herbert Smith,
Alfred Thomas, Matthew j. Whittall,
Donald Tullock and David Armitage,
citizens representing the British Ju-
bilee association, met at the city hall
yesterday morning in conference to de-
eide if possible upon a location. Be
fore any decision was taken in the mat
ter the opinion of City Solicitor Rugg
was heard, and was to the effect that
neither the commissioners Of the city
hall nor of the parks had any authOri-
ty to act on the matter of the DISPOSE
ton of the mall or the front of the
city hall.
After this opinion had been delivered,
the different sites which have been
mentioned we're viewed. The first of
these was the spot where the declara-
ton of independence was read on the
porch of the first church. Another de-
sign called for its location on the plaza
wall. but the design is such that il
could not be advantageously placed
there. 1t was finally decided to place
it in the angle made by the granolithic
walk coming up Front street and the
walk leading to the side entrance of the
plaza of the city hall. The action will
be presented to the city council for rat
ification at it's next meeting.

NAVAL MYSTERIES.
War Vessels of the United States Tha-
Have Disappeared.

Curious disappearance and accidents
to our warships characterized the early
history of our navy, and in spite of all
the efforts of the navy department to
explain the cause of the disasters many
of them are as absolute mysteries today
as when they happened.
When the government built ten new
gunboats to prosecute the war against
Tripoli, in 1905, they were sent out as
soon as they were finished and before
they were named. Each one was Civ
en- a number, and dispatched to the seat
of the war. No sailed from New York
July 20, 1905 under the command of
Lieut.. Ogelvie and after she cleared
Sandy Hook light she was never heard
from again. She went down with all on
board before she had even been named
most extraordinary accident was
that which happened to the corvette
Monongahela at Santa Cruz in 1867
While at anchor in the harbor a ire
mendous tidal wave lifted her upon it's
crest and carried her clean over the
town of Frederichstadt and back again
without injuring the town or the boat
to any great extent. The receding wave
landed her on the beach instead of in
the deen waters Of the harbor and it
cost our government 100000 to float her
again Fully as strange was the fate
of the sloop Of war Wateree. She was
anchored in the harbor Of africa, Peru,
