The readers of this paper will be
pleased to learn that there is at least
one dreaded disease that science has
been able to cure in all it's stages, and
that is catarrh. Halls Catarrh Cure

medical fraternity. Catarrh being g
constitutional disease, requires con.
stitutional treatment. Halls Catarrh
Cure is taken internally, acting di-

THE RIGHT TO A SEAT.

An important decision on a passen-
gers right to sit in railroad car has
Just been given by New York court.
Suit was brought by a passenger
against the New York Central railroad
for being deprived of his seat in car.
The question involved was whether q
man when he puts his valise or any
hand baggage into seat thereby re-
serves it for his own occupancy and
is legally and morally entitled to it.
The court decided that when a pas
senger buys a ticket he presumes that
he is to get a seat and unless there is
some unusual condition he is legally
entitled to it. II he enters an ordinary
coach where no seats are reserved and
there is no trainman TO usher him to
a seat it is the custom of railway
companies to allow the passenger to
choose his own seat. This practically
amounts to regulation of the COM
psny. Therefore the court ruled if a
person occupied seat and then for
any reason left it without in some way
marking it as reserved for himself

could not reserve one seat in an ordi-

THE COUNTS CLOTHES.
How Some of the Gould rIillions
Have Been Spent.

Count Boni de Castellane must spend
much of his time being dressed and
undressed. He has spent so much of
his wife's money on things TO put on
his back and elsewhere that he cannot
possibly know even approximately
how much clothing he possesses,
Some people profess to think that
the little count is after all a re,
markable man and will yet do some
thing to astOnish world.
If this be true, will he not have to
give up his wearing mania? Is
it possible for man who must be dress
ed and undressed three or four times a
day and pose as a model for m6dish
garments to spare time for anything
truly great?
If George Gould wishes to stir
Count Boni to deeds of daring or acts
of greatness, would it not be wise
for him to lock up most of the count 5
sartorial absurdities and send his valet
about other business?

Fred Green, a lumber man, while
.excavatinp an Indian mound on Seven
Mile Island, few miles below Flor

would have been valuable acqulsl-

had been properly handled. The fore
head of the skeleton had a band OF
copper and two large mica rings were
found beside tie skull An earthen
kettle was found resting over the skel-
etou which was foot and half
in diameter, while the remains OF Il
number of smaller ones were found in
the grave. Mr.. Green presented d..

relics taken from the grave which
were sent to Professor Henry c. Mer-
Ger of the University of Pennsylvania,

Mercer made the following report on

TO EXEMPT FARM PRODUCTS.
A Bill to That Effect introduced in the Leg
islature.

In the senate NJ r. Smith has intro
duced bill providing that the farmers
be relieved from a considerable por-
tion of the taxes they now pay.
Mr.. Smith proposes that farm pro-
duets in the hands of the producer
shall be exempt and also family sup
plies.
He Gays some effort is made to en-
courage everything but farming, and
that the young men are therefore leav-
ing the country and tlocking to the cit
les.
The change in contemplation will re-
ouire a constitutional amendment-Or
rather the addition of an entire new
section to the constitution, and Mr..
Smiths bill provides that the matter
shall be submitted to the people for
ratification at the general election
next year.
