A laundry with all modern coveniences, is located in the basement. In the office and dining room are open fire places, where warm well come will be extended to all the coming winter. The building is hard wood fin- ished throughout, and when furnished will make 8 most attractive summer home.

Fact and Fiction prints-under the head of fact, we may assume-what purports to be the application of man who wanted to be all army chaplain during the administration of President Lincoln:
 Attached to it are 8 number of in- dorsements which are not only interest ing ill themselves, but as disclosing the characters of the two men whose influ- ence largely molded the policy of the government in those turbulent timeR The inducements read as follows:
 Dear Stanton-Appoint this man chaplain in the army.-A. Lincoln.
 Dear MT. Lincoln-He is not preach er.-E. M. Stanton.
 The following inducements are dated a few months later, but come just be- low:
 Dear Stanton-He is now.-A. Lin coin.
 Dear MT. Lincoln-But there is no vacancy. y.-E. M. Stanton.
 Dear Stanton-Appoint him chaplain at large. "A. Lincoln.
 Dear MT. Lincoln-There is no war rant of law for that.-E. Nj. Stanton.
 Dear Starton-Appoint him anyhow. A. Lincoln. Dear MT Lincoln-I will not.-E. M. Stanton. The appointment was not made, but the papers were filed in the war depart ment. where they remain as evidence o1 Lincoln's friendship and Stanton's ob- ] stinate nerve.

THE IcE-IMPRIsoNED wHALERs.


 Lieutenant D. H. Jarvis, in command of tbe expedition of the relief of the ice imprisoned whaling fleet in the Arctic, has made report to the secretary of the treasury, dated Norton Sound. January 8, 1898 Concerning the condition of the fleet, Lieutenant Jarvis says:
 To-day on the ice met G. F. Hilton, thiId mate of the whaling steamer Belvi- dere, one of the vessels at Point Barrow, bound out by way of St. Michael and Katwai with mail and news of the posi- tion and condition of the vessels north, for which this relief expedition was sent. On account of the situation opened such mail as supposed would give me inform ation that might assist me in the purpose of the expedition.
 From all could learn the following Is thecondition of the feet: The steamer Orca was wrecked trying to get out Sep tember g, 1897, total loss, near Sea Horse islands, and the same day, about four hours later, the steamer Jessie Fl. Freeman was wrecked, also about the same place. The Belvidere was nearly out, but turned back to save the crews of the wrecked vessels, and was caught by the ice. There is 8 possibility of her coming out all right. The schooner Ro. sario is just around Point Barrow to the west, and there seems small chance for her safety. The steamer Newport and Norwegian steamer Fearless are about fifty miles east of Point Barrow. The steamer Jennie, about eight-five miles east of Point Barrow. The bark Wan- derer was last seen about sixty miles west of Herschel island, and had not been heard of at Point Barrow when Mi. Til ton left October IF, 1897. It seems prob able that all the vessels east of Point Barrow will be crushed by the ice. The steamer Mary D. Hume is wintering at Herschel island, and it is probable the crew of the Wanderer will make for her snd be cared for. The crews of the oth- ser vessels are all safe at Point Barrow, excepting some few who are camping on the shore near the ships to look out for them. The supply of provisions has been taken in charge and apportioned out to last until July next. It is not large, but will be sufficient to last with the rein deer I will drive there. All the natives have been sent off to the interior to hunt, and think can take care of themselves. l hope to get the deer there by April The steamer Navarch, caught in the ice last summer, drifted in to the east of Point Barrow in September, and seven men were taken from her, two others re- fusing to leave. There are in all about BOA men on the ships, including those from the Navarch and those on the Wan derer, and should say that transporta- nnc c will be needed for. about 250 when
 etpens. The report shows that the members of the expedition are in good health, and fairly good progress is being made in the tourney north

THE zooTHERAPEUr1c CURE

Many valuable new ideas come from France, especially in the realm of medi- cine. The latest to be adopted in this country, after many years use in France and after much trial in other countries of Europe, is the system of curing human diseases by messing the body in freshly slaughtered beef. This Is called zoother- apeutics. Sanitariums have been founded in France in which this system is used, and schools of medicine give special courses for it's study. Specialists devote all their attention to it.
 The zootherapeutic sanitarium in Paris has recorded some wonderful cures. The new system Is said to be valuable for use in all nervous diseases, humors of the blood, levers, and rheumatism. The pa- tient is put into freshly killed beef, and the hide is quickly sewed up, so as not to allow the heat of the blood and entrails to escape. The head of the patient is the only part of the body which is not encased in the beef. After remaining a variable length of time in this unique bath, &C., SOAdihE OO thc StdbC Oi nCdtLu Ol c&8CU individual, the patient is taken out and plunged into a hot-water bath.
 This odd form of bath does not appeal to the average taste as pleasant, but what of it3 If it cures it may be endured. The thing is costly to be sure, for the beef car be used but once, and beeves are expen. sive. Zootherapeutic baths will not be commonly employed. for there is no fur in it, and number are necessary to cure obstinate cases. Some patients are or. dered to sleep alongside a.healthy lamb others are required to hold live puppy to their foreheads at stated intervals many are required to lie for days on g couch, hugging close to them cats ol birds of some variety. Verify this Is ar age of progress. -Hareford Post.

HOW A MAN MADE S7,ooo.

Bscause the Chap Who Lost 1t Told His
 BuAiness I'm Cafe.
 Don't discuss your private business affairs in @ public place." said an old Brooklynite to the New Yorker who ap- preached him in 8 cafe near the city hall. Then the Brooklyn man. pointing ont 8 real estate dealer, said:
 Talking about a business deal in this very cafe cost that man $7, 900, and the money vent into my pocket too. You see, he represented 8 syndicate that wanted to build on some property in which I was interested as the owner of one house and city lot. The agent did not know me from a Canarsie clammer. We'll, he came in here with a friend one of the syndicate-for luncheon on an afternoon in last July. They took seats at this table. I sat at the next one.
 "I began to 'teke notice, as grand. mas say, when I heard the strangers at the next table discuss quite loudly @ deal in relation to the property adjoin- ing mine. The agent had ordered fine layout for luncheon and was evidently we'll pleased with his deal. He said to !, his friend:
 "'Well, pulled off the trick for that property at 219 Cheap street today. The owner thought was doing him 8 favor. I started in at $15, 900 and final ly closed with him for SIS, 1000. He bit in hurry. Why, the property is worth f25, 900 if it's worth @ dollar to us Now must look for the chap that owns 2sl. He'll be glad to get S18. 900 for his house. It's lucky for us they re not on to the fact that we want to buy that entire block
 "I didn't need to do any eavesdrop- ping. you see. That little speech of the agent cost him exactly $7, 900. You can readily guess that l, as the owner of 221 Cheap street, was not especially anxious to, sell after that. I kept MT. Real Es- tate Man on the jump for nearly five months, and when I let up on him l got my price, exactly $25, O00-a neat little profit of $7, above what I would have gladly accepted. So you see the point of my remark to you, Don t discuss private business affairs in 8 pub lio place Now we'll go to my office, and I'll listen to your proposition. ''- New York Sun.

The Planets.

Professor James E. Keeler of the AL leghany observatory, ill lecture de- clared that he did not believe that any of the suns satellites, except the earth, are inhabited, although there is 8 remote possibility ill the cases of Venus and Mars. He said: Nothing can be seen on the surface of Mercury and only vague markings on the surface of Venus. Of Venus we know nothing, except that it has a dense atmosphere. In the case of Mars the evidence is not yet sufficient. We may suppose that in time thetlarger planets will be fitted fol supporting life as the earth is now"

THE GAME or HIS LIFE.

Showing Ones Varying View of Golf as He
 Plays We'll HI.
 On the links of the Island Golf club at Garden City, N. Y., two men were having a hot game, with success about even. They were good friends and com plimented each other on their good shots and looked the other way after 8 foozle. Just as the younger one stepped upon the tee to drive of for the sixth hole Q very swagger cart came spinning up the road that crosses the links near that tee. A stunning young woman was driving. She pulled up sharply near the tee and called out to the man about to drive:
 George, dear, won't you come home now and not delay luncheon?''
 The man strengthened up with an air of disgust at the interruption and re piled:
 Mot now. I'm playing the game of my life"
 "I wish you d come, ' she said. "No, not now," he answered. "I'm playing too we'll I wouldn't-euit this for 70 luncheons. Pm breaking my rec ord by ten. .storkes A, e-4=-- <, 4--4--
 Well, I'll drive up and down here and wait for you," she said. AS she started of George, dear, turned to continue the game of his life. He sliced his drive and lost the ball in the blackberry bushes in the ravine. He dropped a new ball and lost one stroke. Then he topped the ball on the niblick shot out of the whir and didn't gain three feet. Finally he got out with seven and was bunkered in the road that crosses the field. There he lost two more strokes and the rest of his temper. Finally he got out of the bunker and with 8 beautiful lie used his brassey for 1 . three-Quarters iron and overshot the hole by 50 yards into the tall grass There the ball was lost
 Ten minutes later the swagger cart was spinning down the road at the top speed of the horse, the stunning young woman sitting very erect and statu- esque and driving with superb skill. In the back of the cart with his heels dan gling and brandishing two golf clubs, sat George. dear.
 The game of his life was over.-New York Sun

Fill a bottle or common glass with urine and let it stand twenty-four hours 1; a sediment o1 settling indicates an un- healthy condition of the kidneys. When urine stains linen it is evidence of kidney trouble. Too frequent desire to urinate, or pain in the back, is also convincing proof that the kidneys and bladder are out of order.
 WHAT TO DO.
 There is comfort in the knowledge so often expressed, that pr. Kilmer's Swamp Root, the great k idDey remedy, fulfils every wish D relieving pain in the back kidneys, liver, bladder and every part of the urinary passages. It corrects inabil- ity to hold urine and scalding pain in passing it, or bad effects following use of liquor, wine or beer, and overcomes that unpleasant necessity of being compelled to get up many times during the night to urinate. The mild and the extraordinary effect of Swamp Root is soon realized. It stands the highest for its wonderful cures of the most distressing cases. If you need medicine you should have the best. Sold by druggists, price fifty cents and one dollar. You may have a sample bot tie and pamphlet both sent free by mail, upon receipt of three two-cent stamps to cover cost of postage on the bottle.

THIRTY YEARS AGO.
Items of local interest taken from the columns of The Press, thirty years ago.I

A horse belonging to Jason Allen of Moose Meadow, broke away from a hitch- ing post in front of Cummings store on Wednesday, ran around the liberty pole and gyrated around the streets savag ely, until the buggy was broken up, and the fragments left strewed in the track. The horse was secured after the buggy was broken. One of Butterfield's four horse teams which was standing at the depot, heavily loaded twas frightened by this rum away, and started on an escapade of their own, running up the hill beyond L. w.. Cranes store, where the leaders broke loose. and the wheel horses refused to draw the entire load up the hill, con- sequently were overtaken. The leaders continued their journey up the road a short distance jumped a fence, and they too were caught without further damage.
