Sherlock Holmes, IS man who reads
clues, as the Indian reads trail. Every
step he takes is a step to success.
It's much the same way IN the detec-
ton of disease. While the amateur IS
blundering along over misleading syfnp-
toms, the specialist goes right to the real
cause and puts an arresting hand upon
the disease. It is in such a way that
DR.. R. Y. Pierce, chief consulting physi-
clan to the Invalids' Hotel and Surgical
Institute, Buffalo, n Y, succeeds in
hunting out and arresting diseases, where
the less experienced practitioners fail.
More than thirty years OF special study
and experience have enabled DR.. Pierce
to read symptoms as easily and as truly as
the Indian reads a trail which IS without
a hint for a less acute vision than his.
Any sick person can consult DR.. Pierce
by letter absolutely without charge
Each letter is read in private and an
swered in private. It's contents are held
as sacredly confidential. It is answered
with fatherly feeling as well as medical
skill and the reply is sent sealed in
perfectly plain envelope, that there may
be no third party to the correspondence.
Thousands have taken the first step to
health by writing to Dr. Pierce No
writer ever regretted writing. Ninety
eight in every hundred treated have
been positively cured. If you are
afflicted with any old obstinate all
ment write to-day, you will be one day
nearer health. Address Dr. r. V.

most successful ever written, is the
work of the famous Brownie man, Z
Palmer Cox, and Malcolm Douglas,
the latter a resident of Morristown.
The Brownies in Fairyland" has
been presented by Mr.. Douglas with

gagements are chiefly in cities like

exceptional case that 1.-THE Brownies

personal supervision in any of the
smaller towns.
Morristown being his home, Mr..
Douglas will bend all his energies
toward making his coming produc-
ton the greatest success of the kind
ever seen here. Over 100 boys and
girls of prominent Morrristown fami-
lies will appear in the unique spec
tacle and these children will be re-
hearsed by Mr.. Douglas himself All
the elaborate Brownie costumes
special effects, lights, etc., will e
used at the Lyceum and nothing Will
be left undone to make the produc-
tion an immense success.
Mr.. Douglas will introduce here
all the novel features that have made
his entertainment the talk of all the
large cities-the beautiful flower
dance, the exquisite stage pictures
and groupings designed by him and
the novel cake-w walk of the Brownies
that take everyone by storm. In this
feature number of the funny little
Brownies walk for cake, which is
awarded to the couple receiving the
most applause from the audience.

our heaviest losses in the fire which
destroyed our premises several years

supply us with another, or put us on
the track of a second hand instrument
we can afford to purchase?
We hope to open the chapel within
the next fortnight, and need this aid
at once.

Letter From a Wal1ingford Soldier

Letter From a Wallingford Soldier.
William Francis, of Wallingford, Is
in receipt of a letter from his brother
John Francis, who is a member of
Company C, Forty-third United States
Volunteers. The letter Is postmarked
at Cebu, P. L., May "a. The letter is
under date of May 81 at Bay Bay, Is
land of Leyte, P. I. In his letter Mr..
Francis writes:
"Things have been very quiet here
for long time. We started the ball
on the 9Th of May, when our platoon
left here with Company K of the Twen-
ty-third regulars for Hilougus, an in
s,,rgent town, the best fortified on the
island. We were accompanied by the
Campania, one of the mosquito fleet.
This stronghold was an old stone
church surrounded by a wall twenty
feet high with breastworks and spear
trans at all approaches They had ten
brass cannons mounted and about one
hundred riflemen ready for us as we
came UP the beach.

about a. m. and threw out line OF
s]<irmisherS to flank them II they re-
treated But they never got chance
to retreat Colonel Murray and Major
Andrews called on the Company c boys
to charge the main gate as the shots
from the boat took no effect. We had
a grudge against them as they killed
Young Burns two months ago. Well,
we went at it and they let us have their
fireworks. But we went through the
gate and then there was hell to pay.
at was hand to hand fight all
| through the convent and church. Inc
| bolo men were as thick as flies and they
| flew after we downed a few Of them.
At the gate they made a grand stand
play, but we went right after them, and
/ it was one grand round Of applause till
| the buglers bew the recall and the bat
tie was over and young Burns was
avenged and the boys were satisfied
eThere were only four of us wounded
| two X men and two G men-a boy
named Shaw and myself. I was shot
near the knuckle of the first finger on
the left hand, I was at charge of
bayonets at the time, so you may know
| how close a shave I got. But it doesn't
1
rest out of it.
'Shaw had his arm nearly blown off
and the other fellows got spear IN the
+! leg and shot in the leg. We fought for
| an hour before the recall was sounded
and by that time we could see none to
! fight. 1t was a regular slaughter pen
for fair We pulled out one hundred
and seventy-five prisoners and made
them pick up the dead and wounded.
Some of them were fairly shot and cut
to pieces, and they put them In their
own traps and trenches. When we
left there they had buried one hundred
| and twenty-five and there were fifty
more dying. K company will garrison
the town and they are welcome to it.
