The last quarter of a century records
many wonderful discoveries in medicine,
but none that have accomplished more fOf
humanity than that sterling old remedy,
Browns Iron Bitters. It seems to contain
the very elements of good health, and neither
man, woman or child can take it without
deriving the greatest benefit. For sale By

The Industrial School.

By thinking little, our people
will understand that the time for
action is upon us if we are to make
a serious effort to capture the In
School which will be
in the Third Senate
rial District, in a short time.
Senator Martin has succeeded in
having the bill passed after two
years of hard work, and now that
the bill has become a law, and
that the school will be established
in one of the three parishes COM
posing the district, the citizens of
st. Martin should do every thing
in their power, and make every
effort to capture 80 important an
institution.
The requirements are five thou
sand dollars, cash, and twenty-five
acres of land. Can't the parish,
by special tax, if necessary, sub
scribe the five thousand dollars or
part of it, and st. Martinville So
cure the ground necessary adjoin-
ing the corporate limits? We
have no doubt that the people OF
St Martinville would be willing to
tax themselves one, two or three
years in favor of this industrial
school, which would prove Of so
much value to st. Martinville and
the whole parish.
Education in st. Martin parish
is sorely neglected, and those pa
rents who are trying to educate
their children have to send them
away from home, at great expen-
ses, and very often at great sacri.
fees.
The Industrial School woulc
give them q better education al
home at a much reduced expense
and would teach them the trade o.
their selection.
If our people would think seri
ously of the benefit to be derivet
from the Industrious school, they
would not hesitate one'minute Il
come together, organize and pro
cure the funds necessary.
Suppose an organization woult
be effected on the Building ant
Loan Association plan, say six o
seven thousand dollars capita
with the shares at S25 or $50 pay
able monthly.
The Messenger will open th
list with a contribution of SO
and Mr.. L. G. Gauthier has ex
pressed to us his willingness to ais
. contribute 500. Can't this pu
the ball in motion, or won't ou
people come together, discuss an,
devise means to capture the In
dustrial School?
The time for immediate actio
is upon us, let US act, and &C
promptly.

The citizens of Gettysburg. Penn,
like those OF a good many other towns
want one Of the navy's new cruisers
named after their place. But I'm this
particular instance the Governor Of the
Keystone state points out that COM
mendable local pride ought TO give way
TO the mingled sentiments that the
name Gettysburg inspire. When that
name Is spoken not the quiet little
town, but great and bloody battle is
suggested, a battle that was fought by
Americans against Americans. the sons
OF whom have recently stood shoulder

This observation or the Governor OF
PENNSYLVANIA seems likely TO strike the
citizens Of Gettysburg and a good many
other places as trivial not To- say nom
sensical. n towns ambitious for fame
through the medium OF the register of
the navy of the United States must
dodge this sort OF an argument good
many OF them will be barred out. Many
Southern cities would have TO give
way unless the folks most interested
are less fearful than Gov. Stone OF
wounding the feelings of the other sec
tion. And IL the idea takes deeper root
We shall have TO omit number OF
names for fear OF threatening the COR
diality which has been growing be-
tween Great Britain and the United
States. A. matter OF fact, the field
of Gettysburg today is adorned with
the monuments OF both armies and the
men from the South and from the
North have met there, at least once. in
"A grand reunion that was one OF the
episodes that marked the final reunit-
ing OF the two sections. IL is TO be
very much doubted If the name of Get
tysburg today does revive the un-
pleasantness which grew out OF the
Civil War" on the contrary, IL is Il
name that means much Of pride and
glory 10 both the men OF the South
and the men of the North and IL kin
dies in the hearts OF both only the ele-
waited sentiments that serve to
strengthen the bond OF a brotherhood
that will never again be broken. Plain
ly Gov. stones point Is not well taken.
A superficial sentimentalism has blind
ed him TO deeper sentiment.

such an objection as Governor Stone

all future generations the names of the
battle fields OF the Civil war are not
painful reminders. In the common

petition by the veterans OF the battle

would be. providing they want to push

A somewhat startling sequel was
made yesterday afternoon to the rob-
berry OF the Church OF the Advent. Paw
tucket, last Sunday evening. at which
time the cloaks and wraps OF dozen
women were carried off. ON the same
evening the police went to the house of
Mrs. Elizabeth Keefc on Tidewater
street and there discovered some of the
stolen garments, and arrested Joseph
Burns, who was pointed out os the man
who sold some of the stolen goods to a
dealer i'm secondhand clothing.
on Thursday Burns was held I'm $1,000
for the grand jury. on the night OF
Burns arrest another man leaped from
"A three story window Of the same house
and made his escape. The officers made
a search i'm the vicinity, but could not
find the man, the suspected person be-
ing Joseph ~. O'Neil. The officers were
searching for him when, yesterday af-
tcrnoon. he was thrown into their hands
In an unexpected manner.
DR.. Frank w. Burnett reported 10 the
Pawtucket police headquarters that he
had been called 10 see n man lying on
some carpets in the cellar OF a house
at 296 Pleasant street. not far from the
house from which the man escaped last
Sunday night He declared that the
person was i'm a serious condition and
the police ambulance was sent to the
house, when the sick man proved TO
be O'Neil, for whom the police were
searching.
He was attended by the city ply
sician, and was in a sad condition-so
critical that the ph.pician ordered him
removed To the Rhode Island hospital.
where he died about 1880 o'clock last
night. His right arm was fractured at
the elbow, his shoulder was badly hurt.
and he was in state of collapse pre-
sumably from the leap from the WIN
dow. He was i'm a stupid state, taking
no notice of what transpired about him.
1t is thought by the officers that after
his leap from IT, window he dragged
himself to some quiet spot and at last
reached the cellar of the house, where
he had been all the time. without his
wounds receiving the slightest atten-
ton The people in the Eouse say they
did not know he was there until they
came across him Yesterday. when they
called The doctor.

ing been committed from New Bedford

term OF seven years. He was discharged
October 30 1891, but was again commit
ted from Cambridge, October 81. 1894,
for breaking and entering and larceny,
for five years. When arrested for the
latter offense he went under the name
of Edward II. Lewis. He was discharged
January of the present year and had
since been i'm Pawtucket. He was IS
years of age. and was unmarried.
