1.-THE sales Of Vinol are more than full
filing our anticipations, said Mr..
James D. Dolan yesterday. 1t is really
not to be wondered at, for Vinol has mer-
il. Never before has anything created
such widespread enthusiasm.
I nave just received another letter from
q brother chemist in Brockton, Mr..
Charles n. Swift who is very we'll known
in that city. he has been taking lively
interest ii VinoI, and writes TO me as
follows:

| it its great popularity. The public have
| learned to recognize the benefit OF tax
ling medicine in a concentrated form
| and at the same time in smaller
quantity. The public with avidity
recognized that when cod liver
oil was necessity, Vinol fulfilled all the
requirements and by using it they were
able 60 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 sepa-
rated from the grease, and when prepared
as is VinoI became even delicious
81 am glad said Air. Dolan, as he
shook hands good bye with the reporter,
THAT you have not found it necessary to
start in again this winter taking Vinol.
You do seem to have been in perfect
health ever since you started using it last
year, but then, if any thing happens to
YOU in the future, l do not think you
will ever forget that Yinol is just the
thing that will do you the most good.
and as the reporter left his store, he as
sured him he never would.
For the convenience of the public down
town. /. Mr.. Dolan has established a
branch Vinol Agency at D. W. Heseltine

colored ballots As for the negro soma
people assert that he Is retrograding in
some respects. Certain it is, he is being
virtually disfranoised by the South. The
condition Of the negro Is becoming mere
and more difficult; his rights as citizen
are being invaded. In South Carolina,
Louisiana and Mississippi he has been
deprived of the ballot, and this in spite OF
the 18th amendment to the Constitution.
In closing the lecture Mrs. Douglass
said that she had come to the North to
tell the people about the horrors of the
convict lease system and to urge them to
demand an investigation. She said that
the treatment of the black man in the
South would some day bring about q
revolution If their condition was not i'm
proved, and If justice were not done
them. She said that Remnants picture OF
Siberian horrors had awakened tne
sympathy of the United States from tne
Atlantic to the Pacific, but might no6 1ne
Gar tell the great republic TO LOOK WlSn--
in itself and discover in it's southern con-
vict camps a worse CONDITION o. gnlnes
than can be found in Siberia. Might not

and demand that we reform our own sys-

RECIPROCITY AND FISHERIES.
Anglo-Canadian Commission Hung On On
These Two Questions.

Washington, November 1S.-Members of
tbe American commission of Canadians
and A nericans expressed the hope today
that Juey would complete thsir'labors be-
fore the Christmas holidays. They are
not willing to state however that treaty
will be framed covering the many SUBJ
iects of difference between the United
States and Canaaa.
Greater progress has been made than Is
generally understood and the rough
draft of some. of the articles, OF the pro-
posed treaty has been submitted by SUD-
committees and tentatively approved.
But the Important subjects of the North
Atlantic fisheries, reciprocity md Behrlng
sea- remain open. 1t Is understood that
the questions of border Immigration,
mining rights, lake. fsheliies and the
Alaskan Canadian boundary have been
found less difficult of solution than was
expected, and that a basis of agreement
on these subjects Is in sight Ill not actual
ly determined upon. AS to Hehring sea,
the view prevails ON both sides that a
settlement will be reached and the
presence of two officials, one Canadian
and the other an American, at Victoria,
where an inventory is taking of the
Canadian sealing f1eet leads to the belief
that the settlement will be ON the basis
of wiping ont the indastry by giving the
Canadians some equivalentfor the capital
invested.
Reciprocity and the Atlantic fisheries
continue to be the most stubborn ques-
lions before the commission. The Joint
session today was brief and the commits.
sion adjourned until Tuesday at IL q. m.
The two sides held separate sessions this
afternoon and most of the time until
Tuesday will be given to these separate
meetings The sole subject, considered to-
day was reciprocity. 1t is understood that
the item of live animals is receiving
special attention. The prospect of an
early settlement of the Behring sea ques-
tion was improved by the receipt of word
that the two officials who have been
making an appraisal in the value of
Canadian sealing have completed their
labors and are now on their way to Wash
ington.

MRS. DOUGLASS LECTURE.
Told Of the Horrors of the Convict
Lease System.

She Drew Vivid Picture of the Suffer
ings of the Southern Conviots and the
| Misdem amor Camps.
| Mrs. Frederick Douglas, wife of the
eminent abolitionist and distinguished
colored orator and diplomat. delivered q
lecture last evening il the Presbyterian
church on Park street. Her subject was
the Convict Lease System of the South, ~
and in eloquent language she drew e
vivid picture of the horrors of this system
all through the Southern states. She said
that the convict lease system was brought
about ry the destruction of the southern
penitentiary and the poverty of the states
after their rebellion again st the Union.
1t has grown now to be political
machine in some Of the southern states
more powerful than any OF the great
trusts and corporations of the North. This
is because the men to whom the convicts
are leased make fortunes out Of the system
and are able to control the Legislatures of
the states in which this system exists, in
large measure.

Douglass, George Remnants discoveries
about the horrors of Siberia have

The whole system is one to degrade
utterly. 1t ruins the physical and de-
grades the moral nature. The custom

them in the ranks with hardened crimi-

WHOA STOP THAT CAR.


q ssWhoal Stop that carl" was the cry
which reached the ears of frighted lot
of people who were travelling on Cape
electric car Thursday evening about 2
o'clock on their way to the city. The car
from Cape Cottage which was just turn
ing to go on the new bridge near the
power house was quickly brought to a
standstill and in front of it on the bridge
ajhorse and buggy were in sad plight
indeed. 80
The team instead of keeping in the
road had followed the car track and get
ting on to the bridge, the horses legs
dropped between the ties while the buggy
was lodged in an open space imme lately
behind. It was not an easy job to
straighten out matters and the work of
several men was required. The buggy
was sunhitched and slipped Eback; the
horse was raised, and hind and fore legs
being tied after a struggle, he was
dragged across boards laid lengthwise the
track and finally landed with no great
damage and with no considerable dslay
to the car.
