CHAPTER XVII.
HARRY MEETS A GREAT MAN.

HARRY MEETS 4 GREAT MAN.
 But the thread Harry held in tho sl1cin of mystery snapped with crue abruptness. None had heard of any gentleman of position who was accrcd tied with the phenomenal faculties supposed to be possessed by Harry unknown.
 "Pshaw, my dear fellow," friend laughed, ''there are no such people out side of cheap novels. Of course there are plenty of charlatans hanging on tc the skirts of society who profess eacl powers; but as for any man with the rank of gentleman cutting such capers, it's simply ridiculous. You had better eliminate the testimony of the fair Miss Wilkins from your bricf-it will only lead you into difficulties
 ''Shc certainly saw the man; the woman is truthful I am sure"
 Granted all that. The fact is, Mir. Evcsham, you do not realize the intense ignorance of the British female of Miss Wilkins class. If they have any imag- ination, it is fed on the gOry incidents of the penny-dreadfuls; and I do not doubt but that Maria's fcndish aristo- crat, who looks into wOmcn'6 souls,' is q creation of her own disordered fancy. Ah, my boy, I am afraid you will have to drop the noble villain from the caste of your very interesting little drama"
 Harry thought so too.

 'Your faithful friend, ALEXANDER HARDCASTLE." It is necessary here to give the reader little clearer insight into Mir. Har,leaStle's movements than that gen tlenan has accorded to Harry.

THE parties who are asking for
an amendment to the charter to make
the Office of chief Of police elective,
cite to the appointment by Mayor Ma
coffin of the present chief who was not
q voter here as the main reason why
the chief should be elected by the peo-
pie. A clause should be inserted that
no man should be elected or appointed
to any office in the city except he had
been a bonafide resident for two years
next preceding the election. The
mayor should have the appointing of
the chief and members of the police
force and should be held directly re-
sponsible for their actions. There
should be heavy fine and a positive
penalty of dismissal for any appointive
officer to take any active part in city
politics. The action of the present
chief, and q part OF the force in our
elections have been disgraceful in the
extreme and come of their predeces-
sors were not much better. The police
force especially should be restricted
from taking any part whatsoever in
politics as their relations to.the lawless
element place them where any activi-
ty in election 10 atters is espe cially per-
niciOus.

worthy of the name, who did not aspire
to be the father and the grandfather of
healthy, capable children to hand down
his name and the fortune accumulated by
the sweat of his brow, from generation to
generation. There never was a wife fit to
bear that noble title who did not wish to
wear womanhood's most glorious crown,
the sceptre of motherhood. Thousands
of welded couples, otherwise happy, fall
short of wedlock'S greatest happiness be-
cause they are childless. In the maj or1ty
of cases, this is because the wife, through
ignorance or neglect, suffers from weak
ness and disease of the organs distinctly
feminine. For women who suffer in this
way there is one great. medicine that does
not fail to accomplish its purpose. 1t is
DR.. Pierce's Favorite Prescri ption. It acts
directly on the delicate organs concerned
and makes them strong, healthy, vigorous,
virile and elastic. 1t al1ays Inflammation,
heals liberation, sootheS pain and tones
the shattered nerves. 1t fits for wifehood
the distinctly feminine organism. 1t BAN
ishes the maladies of the exPectant months
and makes baby's introduction to the world
easy and almost painless. 1t lnsures the
little newcomers health and nourishnent
in plenty. 1t is the best supportive tonic
for nursing mothers.
Mrs. Jennie Parks, of Marshall, Spokane Co.,
Wash, writes: II am glad to tell OF the good
results of your great medicine,-Dr. Pierce's
Favorite Prescription. was benefited by your
medicine in confinement 1t gives me strength.
I have no tired feeling and my baby is the
picture of health. 1 feel better than have in
ten years"
In cases of constipation DIR. Pierce's
Pleasant Pellets should be used as an
adjunct to the "Favorite Prescription, 1"
they are extremely simple, perfectly natural
and insure prompt and permanent relief.

GRIPS CONTAGIOUS.
Now. Raging In All of Our Eastern
Cities.

The board of health of Greater New
York has decided that grip is . con-
tagious disease. The heads of the
various bureaus in the department met
few days ago to discuss the prevalent
disease. and they agreed unanimously
tina: It could be communicated from
one person to another. They pro-
tious, and Medical Commissioner Cos
by said that, in bis opinion, it was as
contagious as scarlet fever, although
by no means so dangerous.
The grip has been existent in that
city for almost ten years, but this is
the first time that it has been recogniz-
ed as contagious. Hereafter all cases
of the grip will be reported to the
Health Board, and statistics concern
ing it will be made up by the officers.
Physicians will be required to report
all cases to the board.
The most prominent medical mon OF
the city have become awakened to the
dire emergency which faces the Health
Department because of the vast num-
Der of grip cases which they have been
called upon to treat within the last few
days. They are spreading broadcast
the earnest advice that every man,
woman aud child in the metropolis
shall exercise the utmost precautions
now and in the immediate future to
prevent the spread of the disease. 1t is
already epidemic.
So eminent an authority as DR..
George F. Shrady is among the first to
sound the alarm. He says that the
total number of cases already reported
runs high into the thousands.
To quote Commissioner Cosby, the
board took the 'bull by the horns" and
instructed the chief pathologist to take
such means as he should see fit to stop
the spread of the affection. Accom-
panying the statement Commissioner
Cosby's verbal assurance was given to
the public that there was "aosolutely
no cause for alarm"
Filthy condition of the streets since
the big snow storm ia attributed by
some as the cause of the epidemic.
Street Commissioner has
absolutely failed to rise to the occa-
sion.
