DIR c. H. STOWELL
ELECTED GENERAL MANAGER AND TREASURER OF THE J. c AYER CO.,, LOWELL, MASS

At meeting of the board of directors of the J. c. Aver c ,mpsny, held in Bos- ton yesterday at noon, the resignation of Alfred K Rose as general manager and treasurer Of that company was presented aud accepted.
 All of the Citizens readers are probably acquainted with the familiar figure of MT Rose and his elegant outfits passing through our streets. No man, in many years, at least, has come to our city who has made such marked impressi on upon 1t. Since his residence here he has taken 8 most active part in all the duties that belong to citizenship, and, it may truly be added, to good fellowship, also.
 Mr Rose has always been ready to con- tribute generously to all good enterprises, and many . suffering family has been quietly aided, while all of our larger charitable institutions have received help Ar Rose has also always been ready to respond to numerous calls in the way of addresses and orations, and those who have eyer had the pleasure of listening to him have been greatly impressed with hi1 natural ability in this line.
 For some time past MT Rose hss had under consideration a very fine offer which would take him to his old home, New York city. He has been unable to complete negotiations with these partiee, because he was under contract with the company here. Therefore his reeig- nation was rendered, which now leaves hirn free to complete arrangements.
 Upon learning of his resignation the Citizen tried to interview Mr R1ee, but found he had been in New York for some

 The citz,us of Lowell, and the news- paper frat srnisy especially, will regret the loss of SO courteous and polished . gentleman as MT Rose.
 At the same meeting of the board of directors Dr Charles Fl. Stowell was elected to Ill the place made vacant by the resignation of MT Rose.
 Dr StowelI has been in this city for two and half years and has been active in religious work here. He is between forty-flve and fifty years of age, and he received his literary education at old University. He was graduated from the medical department of the University of Michigan in 1872, and, after practscing medicine for three years in Syracuse, N. Y., was recalled to his alma mater to i'll . professorship, where he remained for thirteen years. During this time Dr Stowell held three profess0rships, one each in the medical. literary and law de- partments. In 1888 he resigned these positions. to engage iu the practice of . speciality in the city of Washington, D. , During all the'e years Dr Stowell has now he has ten or twelve on the market, devoted to various scientific subjects, such as physiology, microscopy, ard pathology. These books have been ex. tepsively use. as text-b )oks, and are 90 known to-day. Probably Dr StowelPs best known books are comprised in the "Health Series" on physioloey. There are five of these books, and some of them had . very large sale, one reach ing to over . quarter of million copies.
 For some years before comir z here, pr. Stowell has been especially con. cerned in writing Ii erature for proprie- tary medicine houses and in doing other work allied to this.
 Dr. Stowell is most spproachable iu every way, and members of the news- paper fraternity will fad that they alwsys feel better after calling upon him. He receives his callers In pleasant and courteous manner.
 The keys of the cfice were turned over to Dr. Stowell this morning by Mr. Jacob Rogers, who in his usual courteous manner introduced the Doctor to the various heads of ts.-T Lowell Morning Citizen, Oct 4. 1900

lFRoM THE HARTFORD coURANr].

A few years ago happened to be in Zurich, with . friend, and 'as we were considering how to spend the brief time yet remaining for us in Switzerland, 1t suddenly occurred to me that Einsiedeln, a place of which I had formerly read, was not far away. Somehow the name, as associated with an ancient monastery, was attractive, and we decided to visit the place. A cursory examlnation of guide-book and map disclosed it's situa. Iion about A miles southeast of Zurich. An hours sail on the lovely lake of Zurich, and . very pretty ride by moun- between two ranges of high hills, and to the station of ineisdeln-the village ''In the Dark Woods," and made famous by It's old monastery and still older statue of the Virgin. It Is village little visited by curious tourists, although, as we shall see, thronged with pious pilgrims. As one walks up from the station, through the village, to the monastery, he notices with some surprise the great number of hotels and lodging houses, and also of shops, on either side of the street. He main street, which divides the village into two nearly equal parts, terminates, or broadens out into . very wide. deep, spacious, and upward-sloping "Place." This open area or s'Place' is bordered on three sides with hotels, ana with shops, stalls and booth. filed with eccleslastiCal merchandise. Directly before us, as we look up across this place, and in the cen. ter of 1t is beautiful fountain of gray marble. On its broad base stands . bronze statue of the Virgin Mary under . canopy supported by seven columns and topped with golden crown. Beyond this fountain Is very broad flight of stone steps with arcades leading directly up to the church snd monastery. whose united frontage of more than 400 feet, forms the southern boundary of the great Place. The church with it's two tall towers is the central portion of this line of buildings, and the closely adjoining portions are the southern ends of the great monastery, whose eastern and western sides are over 500 feet in length. The view we thus have, first of the great Place and its booths and stalls, and splendid fountain and broad flight of stone stairway, and then of the immense monastery and church crowning the hill

 In view of the placing in this church oi newpulpit, the gift of Mrs Sarah K. Tod of Cleveland, o.. in memory of her Charlotte K. Tod, . short sketch of this parish may be of interest to the people of Bedding and the adjoin7 ing towns. The first church WAS built on the present site in 17s3. thus ante dating by some years any other church building in Bedding. This was unusual when one considers that Congregational tsts were the religious pioneers in nearly every New England town. This first building was replaced by larger one in 1750, and this iu turn was replaced by the present edifice, erected in 1883, just 100 years after the first church was built. Prior to, during and imme diate]y aftef the Revolution, the Reddirg parish was one of the strongest and wealthiest par ishes in the state, there being . congre- gation of about 300 In 1781. This dour- ishirg condition was largely due to the ability and enthusiasm of Rev John Beach, who for 40 years had charge of the parishes of Newtown and Bedding. The following extracts frem reports of his dated May 5, 1772, and October 31, l7Sl, are interesting as throwing light upon the faithfulnoss and enthusiasm of this loyal son of the Church of England {: ''Every Sunday have performed divine service and preached twice at Newtown and Bedding alternately; and in these 40 years have lost only two Sundays through sickness, although in all that time have been fiji cted with constant cholic which has not allowed me one days ease, or freedom from pain. The between the churches is between eight and nine milee, and no very good road; yet have never failed to attend at each place according to custom, the badness of the weather, but have rode 1t in the severest rains and snow storms, even when there has been no track and my horse was sinking down In the snow banks, which has had this go od effect on my parishioners, that they are ashamed to stay from church on sc- count of the bad weather *"*s'". My two congregations are growing; that at being commonly about 800 and at Newtown about 600. Ibaptizsd about l30 children in one year and lately two adults. Newtown and the Church of part of Bedding are, I believe, the only parts of Now England that have refused to comply with the doings of the Congress and for that reason have been the butt of general hatred. But God has preserved us from entire destruction. ] am now in the s2d year of my age; yet do constantly alternately perform and preach st Newtown and Bedding ""'''."
 Newtown and Bedding are both under great obligations to Rev John Beach and his descendants. To his memory New town owes it's librsry building, recently presented by Mifs Rebecca D. Beach of New Haven; and to his memory also is due the Beach Memorial window, ,present. ad to the Bedding church some years ago npon the remodeling of the interior of that building.
 A new organ, presented by Henry San- ford of Bridgeport, was placed in the church at this time, and now the gift of ! new pulpit further adds to the beauty md interest of this histo' ic church.

Nobody knows all about it; and nothing, now known, will always cure it.
 Doctors try Scott's Emul- sion of Cod Liver Oil, when they think it is caused by inn perfect digestion of food. You can do the same.
 It may or may not be caused by the failure of stomach and bowels to do their work. If it is, you will cure it.; if not, you will do no harm.
 The way, to cure a disease is to stop its cause, and help the body get back to its habit of health.
 When Scctt's Emulsion of Cod Liver Oil does that, it cures; when it don't, it don't cure. It never does harm.
