Attention is invited TO a new find in

In the Neue-H cideiberger Jahrbuechor
During Dr. Schmidt's recent soiourn in

come unon a number OF papyrus frag-

scientific apparatus that was wanting
In Egypt. He then found that the
Acts of ST. Thecla were indeed con
tanned in this payprus record, but NOT
as an independent writing They were
simply part of the Acts OF St PAM

TOWER BURNED.
Spark From a Locomotive Causes a Loss
On the P, W. & B. Railroad.

VA thS " lie NailiOau
On Friday afternoon, of last week, the
telegraph office situated at Prices, nine
miles north of Elkton, and on the line OF
the Philadelphia, Wilmington and Balti-
more Railroad, was burned to the ground
The tower was frame structure situated
near Prices woods and without water
facilities.
Telegraph Operator Dutton first discov-
cred the blaze on the roof OF the building
and at once found it necessary to ask for
aid. The railroad officials quickly sent two
work trains with gang Of men to the
scene, but before the trains reached their
destination the building was in ashes. The
fire also destroyed the telegraph wires on
the line, causing considerable delay to the
train service as well as the commercial
business. After three hours delay the
wires were repaired by linemen sent from
Wilmington. The supposition Is that a
spark from passing train set the building
on fire. The loss will aggregate 81, 800,
partly insured.

CECIL GOLD.
A Syndicate Which Has Bought $500
Acres of Land in the Cecil
County Gold Fields.

County Gold Fields.
The syndicate interested in the ''gold
fields Of the Eighth election district OF
Cecil county, through their agent, J. D.
West of Port Deposit have to date pur-
chased in all $500 acress Of land which
comprises the backbone OF the district,
reaching from the Octorar0 creek at the
Horse Shoe to the Susquehanna river.
The syndicate is now preparing to build
crushing and smelling works ON the Con-
owingo or Octoraro creek. At the cut at
Red Hill several hundred tons of ore have
been mined and many samples sent away
for testing in one and two carload lots. Mr..
West, who for many years was gold
worker in Colorado, will have charge OF
the plant. The ore is brown, "honey
comb" formation showing bright particles
Several assays Of the surface ore have been
made, and it is said that samples have
yielded as high as $3.50 to the ton. Mr..
West pronounces the Cecil county lode a
''mother lode," the primatve volcanic up
heavals from which the placer gold is dis
tributed to the lowlands, along streams by
the action Of rain. The syndicate is com.
posed Of wealthy business men Of Philadel-
phia, Boston and New York, who are spend
ing several thousand dollars for the land
and who have had experts on the grounds
making examinations. The purchase OF
the land has been much to the owners, as
the land is barren and will raise nothing
except in certain localities.

The doctor may be good old man, but
even so, medical examinations and the
'local-application treatment are abhorrent
to every modest woman. They are en-
barrassing-often useless They should not
be submitted to until everything else has
been tried. In nine cases out of ten, the
doctor in general practice isn't Compel
ent to treat female diseases. They make
branch of medicine by themselves. They
are distinct from other ailments. Thew
can be properly understood and treated
only by one who has had years of actual
practice and experience in this particular
line. This is true of Dr. R. V. Pierce,
chief consulting phyician of the Invalids'
