When business man gets to the point
where he cannot sleep at night where he is
so shattered of nerve that it is torture to
even remain in his bed, and he has to get
up and pace the hoor-it is time for that
man to bring himself up with round turn.
If he does not, it means nervous prostration
and mental, If not physical, death.
For a man who gets into this condition
there is a remedy that will brace him up,
put him on his feet and make man of him
again. 1t is DR.. Pierce's Golden Medical
Discovery. 1t goes to the bottom of things.
1t searches out the first cause. When
man is in this condition you can put your
finger on one of two spots and hit that first
cause ~ the stomach or the liver or both.
This great medicine acts directly on these
spots. 1t promptly transforms weak stom-
ach into healthy one. 1t facilitates the
flow of digestive juices and makes diges-
ton and assimilation perfect. 1t gives
man an appetite like a boys. It invigor-
ates the liver It fills the blood with the
life-giving elements of the food and makes
it pure, rich, red and plentiful. The blood
is the life current, and when it is filed with
the elements that build new and healthy
tissues, 1t does not take long to make man
we'll and strong. 1t builds firm, muscular
flesh tissues and strong and steady nerve
fbers. It puts new life, vigor and vitality
into every atom and organ of the body. It
cures nervous exhaustion and prostration.
Nothing "just as good" can be found at
medicine stores.

1.30:05 to cover the distance The wind
hauled little to the westward as she
approached the finish line, so the bal
loon jib topsail was taken in and the
small jib topsail set. At 237:i7, the
Columbia crossed the finish line be-
tween the red lightshiD and the COM
mittee boat, winner of the second
race of the international series. She
was greeted by the whistles of the va
rious boats and was towed to the
Horseshoe
When the committee boat arrived in
Sandy Hook bay, the regatta commit
tee found the Shamrock had been tow
ed to Erie basin, where she is to be
fitted with a new topmast and remeas-
ured. The committee at once pro-
posed a visit to Sir Thomas Upton and
to Commodore Morgan, who was there
with his steam yacht Corsair and also
TO Mr.. Iselin. On the Columbia's deck
a. consultation was held which result
ed in the decision that the Shamrock
should be allowed one day to repair
damages, and that the next race would
be sailed on Thursday. 1t will be fif-
teen miles to windward or leeward and

COMMITTEE MEETS QUICKLY.

The telephone committee of the board
Of aldermen had long meeting last
night and the whole question of grant
ing or refusing a franchise to the Wor-
cester Telephone company was dis
cussed in u thorough manner At the
conclusion of the meeting, by vote Of
three to two, it was voted to give the
petitioners leave to withdraw.
The majority has been steadfast in it's
determination to refuse the franchise
on the promise of the New England Tel
ephone & Telegraph company to reduce
its rates in the event of no rival COM
pany being allowed to do business in the
city.
The committee as a result of last
nights deliberations, will make a re-
port to the board of aldermen Monday
night.
The arguments for both sides are ia
miliar to Spy readers, and they were
substantially the same last night as
at open meetings of the board of all
dermen, when the petitioners and re-
| monstrants were given hearings.
The committee was careful to exclude
reporters and no star chamber session
was ever more closely guarded. A short
hand report of what was said, there
fore, will not descend to the remotest
posterity
| The word was passed along a few
| days ago by officials of the New Eng
land that there would be a radical re-
duction in rates If the Worcester COM
pany was barred out, and members of
the board OF aldermen said last night
that they believed that the New Eng
land was acting square and would stand
by it's agreement
| The present rate for residence tele-
phones is $4S year for unlimited SER
vice and $25 a year for a limited or
stated number of calls. The company
now says that it will reduce the resi-
dence rate to $25 year with the privi-
lege of any number of calls.

MAKE DEWEY END 1T.
Robert Treat Paine Wants
Him to Settle
War.

Brookfield, Oct 1S-The democrats of
this section of the state opened the
campaign tonight with an enthusiastic
rally, the principal speaker being Rob-
ert Treat Paine, Jr., the democratic
candidate for governor. George Mes
singer presided. In introducing Mr..
Paine, he said the democratic candidate
is good friend of labor.
Mr.. Paine tried to prove that the
people were in no way responsible for
the war Of subjugation against the
Philippines. Their attention has been
called to the struggle, he said, by the
brilliant victory of Manila, and they
felt, of course. the same noble policy
announced with reference to Cuba
would apply to this, another nation en-
gagged in similar struggle.
The other day l made a suggestion
that Dewey be sent to the Philippines
with full power to act. l know that
this is placing country above party, for
he can bring order out of discord and
establish an autonomous government
under our protection. If he does this
he will save the republican party from
the crushing defeat in 1900, which sure
~ awaits it II it keeps laundering along
its present course. They suggest that

augurated until 1901, and meanwhile
this dreadful war goes on, and the
spotless escutcheon of our nation would
be indehbly stained.
You can remove an Otis, but not your
president, therefore assign to Admiral
Dewey the hardest problem the presi-
dent has to deal with. Let him com
plete his work as brilliantly as he be-
gan 1t. Let him give the Filipinos a
stable government, and at the same
time do this in accordance with Ameri-
can traditions.
Oh, that the gentle shepherd from
Leicester was at home and in good
health again, which, may God grant
him, and long life, for his voice, as six
years ago. would ring through in bat
tie for democracy And as I fought for
John E. Russell then with what ability
1 had, I know he would return it now a
hundred fold.
A letter Of regret at inability to be
present was read from Congressman
elect John R. Thayer of Worcester.

Boston, Oct 1.-THE annual meeting OF
the Merchants Club was held at the New

followed the transaction Of BUSINESS. The
guests of the club included Hon. Chas.
G. Dawes, comptroller of the currency;
Hon, George A. Marden, assistant treas
urer of the United States, and a number
of prominent bankers.
Mr.. Dawes spoke on Trusts and trade
combinations saying in substance:
ut is human nature to seek to ac-
quire, and 1t is human nature to combine
to acquire. 1t is human nature and not
any political psrty which is responsible
primarily for the existence of the trust:

ARMY PROMOTIONS.
Either Lawton or Macarthur VIII Be a
Brigader.

Washington, Oct. 1.-THE president has
ordered the promotion to grade of briga-
der general in the army Of the following
colonies: Col. A. c. Pennington. Second
artillery; Col. Royal T. Frank, Col. Car
penter. Fifth cavalry.
Col Samuel Ovenshipe, Twenty-third
infantry, Col. Daniel w. Burke, Seven
teenth infantry.
These officers are to be placed on the
retired list at intervals of one day each.
The war department was able to make
these changes owing to the retirement
yesterday Of Gen. Shafter from the reg
ular army. After they have been ap-
pointed and retired in order one vacan-
general in the regular army, and it is the
common Impression that this place will
be given to either Gen. Lawton or Gen.

Orders were given at once to proceed
to the disabled yacht, and the Lucken-
bach was soon alongside Capt. Kane
shouted through the megaphone:
can we assist you in any way?"
NO, thank you" came back the re-
ply from the Shamrock. There was only
one thing for the committee to do then,
and that was to follow on after the
Columbia and take her time at the
marks
NO OPTION ALLOWED.
Inquiries were made of the commit
tee as to whether or not on account of
the Shamrocks mishap the race would
be declared off. There could be only one
reply. The committee had absolutely no
option in the matter. The iron-clad
agreement between the Royal Ulster
and New York yacht club committees
and also between Mr. Iselin and Sir
Thomas Upton, regarding accidents to
either boat, prevented the committee
from taking any action whatever.
Mr.. Iselin himself could not turn back
however much ne might desire to do SO.
The Columbia must sail on and cover
the course if she could do so in the time
limit. Then 1t must be her race.
This agreement was made willingly
by the parties to it with the under
standing that stability of construction
was part of the game of yacht racing
as well as in the sailing. There was no
advantage to either party in the con-
tract. All yach.smen hailed this new
contract as wise provision.

real estate to cover the amount in case
we should wish to sue him if ne failed

Then, when the choir had subsided,
he read three contributions of $1,000
each and announced that man mad
subscribed his entire bank account,
representing $500.

that the contribution would not be

REMARKABLE ANSWI
PRAYER.

Swinging the long tiller across the
stern to port, Capt. Hogarth imme>
diately put the Shamrock before the
wind and finding that no one on board
was hurt he gybed her, and all hands
began clearing away the wreck. The
foresail was taken in first, and men
were sent alOft to overhaul the club
topsail sheets and halyards and clear
away the topmast backstays and other
gear. 1t was Is minutes before they
were able to get the club topsail down
on deck.
That ended the race so far as the
Shamrock was concerned. The Column
bia took in her baby jib topsail and
continued on her course, lacking to
starboard at 11.25, for it had been spe-
eially agreed a few days prior to the
date set for the first race that in the
event of an accident to either yacht,
the uninjured vessel was to complete
the course.
This agreement was signed by Mr.
Iselin and Sir Thomas Upton. 1t was
a great pity of course, that such an ac-
cident should have occurred at such a
time, when everything looked prom
Using for a good triangular race. At
the time of the accident the Columbia
was an eighth of mile to windward of
the Shamrock.
SYMPATHY FOR Upton.
The steam yacht Erin, with Sir
Thomas Upton and party on board,
followed the Shamrock back to Sandy
Hook. On her way in, the Erin was
passed by the steam yacht Oneida. E.
c. Benedict was on the bridge Hehailed
Sir Thomas through the megaphone
and said: Il am very sorry to see the
accident and 1 am very sorry to see
the race is to be won in that way
Sir Thomas thanked him and passed
on in his yacht. For 3S minutes and
10 seconds, the Columbia continued on
the starboard tack. She had taken in
her jib topsail soon after the accident
to the Shamrock, so as to relieve the
topmast of any unnecessary strain. In
% minutes she went about again to
starboard and II minutes later she
made her last tack for the first mark.
In three minutes and a half she was
up to the mark, and keeping off, round
ed it. AS she eased sheets to star
board, a No. jib topsail was broken
out, and the white yacht began her ten
mile reach for the second mark.
OFFICIAL TIME.
Her official time at the turn was
12.39:2S showing that she had covered
the distance to NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. four
teen miles--in 1871. The reach to the
second mark was devoid of interest for
the Columbia, simply sailed her course
of southwest half south straight as a
die, only changing her forestaysail for
ballooner at 1:13. She continued to
carry her jib topsail until the second
mark was neared.
The second mark was gybed around
at 1927. Her elapsed time for this
leg was So minutes 50 seconds-a little
better than ten miles an hour.
HEADED FOR HOME.
Setting balloon jib topsail a few min
utes after rounding the mark, the Co

The lights on the tender burned well

On the regatta committee boat there
was nothing but a feeling of deepest re-
gret at the accident. The feeling of sym
pathy not only in the committee but
also in the New York Yacht club, was
the deeper because disaster came to the
challenger, the visiting yacht and the
guest of the club. At the time Of the
