Bush, clerk of the hotel Dorrance, Prov
idence, R. 1. He says: "For several
years have been almost constant suf-
ferer from diarrhoea, the frequent at
tacks completely prostrating me and
rendering me unfit for my duty at this
hotel. About two years ago travelling
salesman kindly gave me small bottle
of Chamberlain's Collie, Cholera and
Diarhoea Remedy. Much to my sur
price and delight its effects were imme-

disease I would fortify myself against
the attack with few doses of this val

very satisfactory and almost complete
relief from the affiiction." For sale by

SPORT ON THE ICE,
Young America Finds Skating a
Pleasing Pastime.

The small boy and the large boy, and per-
haps those of assorted sizes and ages, are
delighted to find that the cold snap has
been of sufficient intensity to cover the
ponds in this vicinity with ice of a thick
ness that will allow skating. Those who
INDUCED in this sport yesterday found that
the skating was excellent, and today the
smooth surface was covered with rapidly
moving figures
Girls were also found among the pleasure
seekers, and. no doubt, If the ice remains
long enough, fair proportion of the popu-
lation of the city will be on runners.

To the Editor Of The Evening STAR

To The Edlt0r OF IHe evening Staf:'
Will you kindly tell us why the twin win
dows at the left of the main entrance OF
the new city post Office building are con.
structed with transoms, while the CORE
spending windows at the right of the en-
trance do not have them? The effect is to
give the former windows six panes OF
glass in each opening, and the latter but
four. The symmetry of the facade seems
to be involved in this incongruity.

The burglars, Wnetnef expert Safe crack
ers or only semi-professionals, are without
doubt desperate characters. The cool man.
ner in which they took possession of the
watch box, remaining there within a few
yards of sthe scene Of their crime until
nearly day, is evidence Of their nerve, and
the finding of an almost emptied box of
Smith G. Wesson 32-caliber cartridges upon
the top of the dynamited safe leaves little
room for doubt that, had any one come
upon them in the midst of their nefarious
work, blood would have been shed and
murder combined with burglary.
