Wilkinsonville, Aug. FIRED S. Smith
OF Pleasant Dale has a problem for
scientists to solve. A cistern at his
home has broken the long established

hill. The cistern is fed by a spring on
the hill back of the Smith home. Late
~ the spring has dried up and the wa
ter that was in the cistern remained in
IT, Jewett Bassett, an employee of Mr..
smith, was surprised when he examin-
ed the spring last Saturday morning to
ma water coming up the cistern pipe
into the spring. During the time since
the spring dried up the cistern has
been fed from the pond but the cistern
Is not covered in any way so that the
pressure from the pond could force the
water up into the spring. Mr.. Smith
did not wish to have the water wasted
by running up into the spring and
drove plug into the pipe leading into
the spring. He is still at loss to ac-
count for the water running UP hill.

Mrs. Pinkham's Medicine Made
a New Woman of Mrs. Kuhn.
[LErTER 70 MRS. PINkHAM NO. 64,49al


"DEAR Mrs. PINKHAM-I think it is
my duty to write to you expressing
my sincere gratitude for the wonder
full relief have experienced by the use
of Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com
pound. I tried different doctors, also
different kinds of medicine. l would
feel better at times, then would be
as bad as ever.
For eight years was great suf-
ferer. l had falling of the womb and
was in such misery at my monthly
periods could not work but little
before l would have to lie down. Your
medicine has made new woman of me.
1 can now work all day and not get
tired. l thank you for what you have
done for me. 1 shall always praise
your medicine to all suffering women. Z"
--MRs. E. E. KUHN, GERMANo, ONO.
Il have taken eight bottles of Lydia
E Pinkham's Vegetable Compound
and used two packages OF your Sana-
tive Wash, also some of the Liver Pills,
and can say that your remedies will
do all that you claim for them. Before
taking your remedies was very bad
with womb trouble, was nervous, had
no ambition, could not sleep, and my
food seemed to do me no good. Now I
am well, and your medicine has cured
me. Twill gladly recommend your med
tcine to every one wherever l go. ~

NEWS OF NEW CASTLE.
A CAUsE OF COMPLAINT.

Much dissatisfaction is expressed
among the patrons of the trolley road
concerning the matter OF bringing the
county prisoners over in the cars.
These prisoners are really composed Of
the scum OF Wilmington city and it is
Thought that they should be confined
somewhere else than in the Jail here,
which is overrun with them. When
ten or twelve of these members of the
great unwashed" are seated in a car
they not only occupy room which
should belong to other passengers, but
II is found necessary to use all the ven
tllation available in order that travel
ers may occupy it. Everyone shuns sit
ting alongside these degraded speci-
mems, who must be frequently warned
about expectorating On the floor, and
persons have even been known to wait
over a car on this account. 1t is
thought that the proper thing to do
would be to either run a special car
for the purpose of carrying this tribe
or else carry them in the steam cars,
where they can be put in a larger car
and in separate seats from other pas
senlgers.

BsSTOH'S AEW TOWN. CLOCK
RECALLS AN INTERESTING AND
AMUSING STORY OF A SUN DIAL.

AMUSING STORY OF Al SUN DIAL.
Easton, Md, March 16.-The new
town clcck now running on full Time
in the belfry Of the renovated Court
House, is the first public timekeeper
Easton has had since the Spencer sun
dial, which was for many years on
the south wall of the old brick hotel
and removed by the improvements
made in the building in 1870. This sun
dial was constructed by Professor
Matthew Spencer, principal of the old
Easton Academy. Mr.. Spencer was a
nan Of remarkable versatility and brill
liant originality. His sun dial at
tracted far more attention in his day
than half a dozen town clocks would
now.
In connection with this sun dial a
true story is told by a man who was
one of Professor Spencer's pupils at
the time. The story lis as Follows:
"In 1854, a few years after the erec-
tion Of the sun dial, Illuminating gas
was introduced into Easton. Guests at
the brick hotel were summoned to the
O'Clock dinner by metallic gong
beaten with a steel bar. and when we'll
laid On its resonance could be heard
as far a-field as the strokes OF the pres
emit town clock are heard. Among the
permanent residents at the hotel was
the late DR.. Eleazer Berries, who was
somewhat Of good-naturef wag.
"One morning there came to Easton
via Dover bridge, a young man from
rural Caroline county carrying a jug
He told people on the street that he
was to be married that night, and
hearing there was 'lightin' gas in Eas-
ton he had come over to get a jugfu
light up the meetin' house with. HI
was referred to DR.. Berries at the no
tel, who politely told him: Yes, in
deed, you can get a jugful, or severa
Ijugfuis if you want them. For wed
ldings we make no charge fer gas. Blu
the jug-gas does not come on until
O'Clock. Put your jug down with th'
stopper out under that timepiece-
pointing tc the Spencer sun dial-'an'
tracted far more attention in his da.
jug Immediately
'Rusticus did as directed, and tool
a seat on the top rail OF the Cour
House fence opposite. to wait for tn
sun dial to strike / O'Clock. And hi
patience was rewarded. At 1 o'cloc,
he head waiter came to the front doc
and threshed the gong with more tina
his usual vehemence.
" There, shes struck at last ez
Gained the patient watcher. VIII
jumped from the fence. ran to his jug
ammed corncob stopper into its nee
and made a beeline fer Dover bridg'
Many people assembled at the meetin
house to see the wedding and the new
} tangled light with which the prou
bridegroom was to treat the occasion
When he found he could not light i
he was shrewd enough to stop the jee'
ing of the crowd by the exclamation
'B'gosh | forgot to fetch the rigl
kind Of matches' There are yet qui
a number of persons in Easton wt
remember this comical occurrence"

A WONDERFUL MEMORY.

There is a long term prisoner in the
county Jail who possesses a marvellous
memory for anything that comes with
in his hearing. He is unable to read,
but can reclte parts of the Bible and
prayer book work for word, having
heard this read by the visiting minis
tiers, and It is even said that he can
repeat passages after hearing them but
once read.

REPUBLIC OF MEXICO.
Mutually Advantageous Relations
EXtrnlltl0n Cnufrayerav EndaL


The year has been marked by constant
Increase In the intimacy of our relations
with Mexico and in the magnitude of
mutually advantageous interchanges. This
government has omitted no opportunity
to show Its strong desire to develop and
perpetuate the ties of cordiality now so
long happily unbroken. Following the
termination on January 20. 1899. by Next
CO. of the extradition treaty of Decem-
Der II. 1881. new treaty. more in accord
ance with the ascertained needs of both
countries. was signed February o. 1899,
and exchanged in the City of Mexico on
the 22d of April last. Its operation thus
far has been effective and satisfactory.
A recent case has served to test the ap-
piication of its fourth article. which pro-
vides that neither party shall be bound
to deliver up Its own citizens, but that
the executive authority of each shall have
the power to deliver them up If. in Its dis
erection. 1t be deemed proper to do so.
The extradition of Mrs. Matte Rich, a
citizen of the United States charged with
homicide committed In Mexico, was, at
ter mature consideration. directed by me,
In the conviction that the ends of justice
would be thereby subserved. Similar
action, on appropriate occasion, by the
Mexican executive will not only tend to
accomplish the desire of both govern
ments that grave crimes go not unpun-
ished, but also to repress lawlessness
along the border of the two countries.
The new treaty stipulates that neither
government shall assume Jurisdiction in
the punishment of crimes committed ex-
clusively within the territory of the other.
This will obviate in future the embarrass-
Ing controversies which have heretofore
arisen through Mexico's assertion Of a
claim to try and punish an American cit
izen for an offense committed within the
Jurisdiction of the United States.
