More than twelve years ago a machinist in
the toolroom of the c. B. and Q. r. r. shops
at Aurora, H.. met with unfortunate acci-
dent, causing a bad rupture. He was given
expert medical treatment and used what was
considered a good truss but improvement
was noted. After frequent experiments with
other trusses and treatments he got hold of

little pamphlet written by Dr. Rice of Adams,
N. Y, and as 1t was a new idea the method
tried and Improvement began Immediately
In a few weeks the sufferer was entirely cured.
This happened twelve years ago and is
given publicity in order to offset the popular
notion that a surgical operation Is the only
way to cure rupture. Men and women who
have been wearing trusses all their lives
should write to DIR. Rice for particulars of his
method He makes no charge for advice. The
machinst referred to above is George o. Plum
mer. 3S6 La Sale street Aurora, ILL.,. and
prominent member of the Willard Methodist
Episcopal Church.
Mr. Plummer hasn't worn his truss for
twelve years, and as his work In the railroad
shops is trying to his muscles his permanent
cure of bad rupture is certainly sufficient to
interest other unfortunates who are going
through life in misery. Write to DIR. w. S.
Rice, 41s P, Main street. Adams. n. " and he
will send complete and detailed description of
his method whereby you can cure your rupture
at home without PAIN danger, operation or de-
tention from business. Write at once.

The children are brought there soon after
10 in the morning by the nurses, who meet

not for the amusement or care of the chill
dren intrusted to their care If. during
their conversation. the little ones become

CUBAN CUSTOMS SERVICE.
Cost of Collection Less Than In the
United States.


The War Department has prepared a
statement based on actual figures in pos
session of the Secretary of War showing
that the cost of collection throughout the
entire customs service in Cuba for the first
six months of 1899 is less by 1872 per cent
than the cost of collection at the ports of
the United States. The percentage of cost
of collection at all ports of the United
States is 4.62.
According TO the figures shown, the per-
centage of cost of collection of all of the
custom houses in the Island of Cuba for
the period named is $50 per cent while the
cost of collection for the single port of
Havana is only 2.31 per cent. 1t is asserted
that the percentage at the port of Havana
is lower thar the percentage of cost Of col
lection at any single port OF entry In the
United States. This is demonstrated by the
report of the supervising special agent of
the treasury of the United States for the
fiscal year ending June 30, 1899.
This report shows that the cost of collec-
ton at the port of New York is $50 per
cent, at the port of Philadelphia $50 per
cent at the port of San Francisco 1.20 Ter
cent at the port of New Orleans 1880 per
cent and at the port of Baltimore 1890 per
cent
If the first six months of the present year
be safe criterion by which to Judge col
lections, the annual collections of customs
at the great commercial ports of New
York. Philadelphia and Boston only, in he
order named, will exceed those of Havana
AS matter of fact. the collections of the
port of Boston only exceed those of the
port of Havana by something less than
100000
1t is just to state in this connection that
the percentages given above are exceeding
" creditable to the customs service of
Cuba. The more so because the percent
ages named are based upon the business of
a period when there was a lack Of organi-
cation. due to the recent inception of the
customs service in Cuba, and in which the
commerce of the island was in an unsettled
condition. For the reason just cited and
for the additional reasons that many of the
customs officers We're entirely unfamiliar
with their new duties. and that there We're
incurred extraordinary expenses due to the
completely dismantled condition in which
the service was left by the previous ad-
mniStration. the statement above made is
most surprising and satisfactory.

lasting until 1 o'clock in the afternoon
Services will also be held there tomorrow
between the same hours Tomorrow even
ing the services of fem Efppur or the
day of atonement, will begin at o'clock.
The feature of the s&fvices-this morning
was the sermon of Rabbi Maurice Mandel,
who took for his text the story of the birth
of Samuel and the vow of his mother to
consecrate him to the Lord in return for
the blessing of being given a son. Rabbi
Mandel adapted the text strongly to the
present day and drew vivid pictures of
those of the present generation who are
prone to forget the Lord in time of pros
perity. He said that riches and luxury
We're not gained by strength of brain or
will alone, but were given in return for
some good service. They might be visited
on the children in return for the good
works of the father. but the recipients in
any case owed the thanks for the same to
their Creator.
The services were begun with the blowing
Of the shofar, or ram s horn. which was
repeated at intervals thirty-six times dur
ing the exercises 1t is supposed that
every one in the world is brought to the
oar OF Justice tOudy, tIldl tile evil one
acts as the public prosecutor. When the
shofar is blown. however, it frightens him
and he runs away, forgetting in his hurry
the various counts against the culprits.
Consequently where there is no prosecutor
and no prosecution there can be no con-
vction. Congregational singing and other
appropriate exercises in the Jewish faith
took up the remainder of the time.
New House of Worship.
The Adas Israel congregation is now in a
most prosperous condition, according to a
statement made by Mr. Julius Baumgarten,
the secretary, to a Star reporter this morn
ing. 1t has increased in a year from sixty
to 100 members, and the present house Of
worship is entirely inadequate for its
needs. The congregation has purchased
the property. adjoining the church 9th
street and will in the near future erect
fine place Of worship. The old building is
to be torn down in a short time.
The officers Of the congregation are:
