CHARLES G. PECK REPLIES TO EDWARD
 TAYLOR.
 In writing my article for THE BEE I, at least in one sense, accomplished my purpose as found out who the writer of those notes was. I do not fiatter myself that was one of few who could reason out such deep seated scheme. It was very plain to several. But am very much surprised to see that Friend Tsy- Tor takes such decided stand against the pacers. Why, only short time ago he was driving 8 pacer and when we met on the road, we were always greeted with that familiar remark of his s'She is just the sweetest gaited thing that ever pulled A rein overl" And he led me to infer that he sold her for very long price, more than be eyer sold horse for.
 Now I think this is an age of progress sion, and bought pacer to keep pace with the times and experience has proved that made no mistake. As to the price of trotters and paces Neighbor Taylor doesn't for moment want us to think that Axtell who sold for $105, 900 several years ago, would bring any such sum now under the same conditions. The question is will any trotter bring more in New York market to-day than pacerT I think Joe Patchen, a pscer, would com- mand larger price in New York to-day than any trotter that can be named. Last Sundays World had Q list of horses that were in the great Speedway Parade, May 5, with their probable value and the first four with highest values were pacers.
 It is not to be expected that 0. J. Hamlin would dethrone his noted horse, Chimes, by allowing a three-year-old un- tried horse to take first place at head of his stud but this pacer stands third In his advertisement so 1t looks as though he

STORY OF A SLAVE.

To be bound hand and foot for years by the chains of disease is the worst form of slavery. George D. Williams of Manchester, Mich, tells how such 8 slave was made free. He says My wife has been so helpless for five years that she could not turn over In bed alone. After using two bottles of Electric Bit ters, she is wonderfully improved and able to do her own work" This supreme remedy for female diseases quickly cures nervousness, sieeplegsness, melan- choly, headache, backache, fainting and dizzy spells. This miracle working medi- cine ia a godsend to weak, sickly, run down people. Every bottle guaranteed. Only 50 cents. Sold by R. H. Beers 6 Co.,, Newtown; s. 0.
