This is the way Ninol accomplishes its
mission of doing good.
Ninol, as we wish every one to know,
owes its power of accomplishing the
cures that it effects to the fact that it
contains the most wonderful medicinal
elements known 10 science for the cure
of all wasting diseases. as well as be-

One of the pleasantest occasions of the
winter occurred on Tuesday evening at
the Baptist church, when the young ladies
of the Hadassah league received a goodly
company of friends for a banquet in
celebration of the close OF its first
years life and activities. The parlor
was prettily decorated, and the chapel put
in attractive order as the centre of the
evenings pleasure, being artistically dec
GRATED and arranged with six inviting ia
bles repete with good things. Soon after
g. the company sat down to supper, Miss
Ella Stebbins president for the past year,
presiding. When all had done ample JUS
tice to this tempting repast, Miss Stebbins
introduced as POSTMASTER of the evening
Mrs. Edgecomb, who presided in this ca
pacity in her own pleasing manner. After
well-chosen remarks, the following toasts
were responded to with manifest pleasure
to all: "Hadassah league, Miss Ella Steb.
bins; "The sunny side Of the pastor life, "
Mr.. Curtis; "Woman," Prof. Edgecomb
Man Mrs. Curtis. Pleasing solos were
sung during the hour by Misses Mabel
Martin and Grace Bailey. The evening
closed with an informal social, and all
voted the occasion thoroughly enjoyable
one. We are glad to know that the league
! has had a successful year, and with a new
and able board of officers presses on in
its good mission.

oHistorIc HinsdaIe.D

This is the ambitious title of an illustrated
pamphlet of II pages edited by j. ii. Wal
bridge of Concord, Vt, and printed by the
Reformer Publishing company of Brattle-
boro. 1t is furnished to subscribers only
for the modest sum of So and attempts to
embrace in II pages a condensed history of
the town, views of the village, portraits of
its best known men with laudatory bio
graphical sketches, pictures of the various
public buildings, churches, mills and pri-
vate residences, and to give a comprehen-
sve view of the HinsGale of today. 1t is
but Just to say that the work is well gotten
up geographically, far better than the
Mortified pictorial history from the same
press. The picture of the town hall, since
burned, is most excellent; the mills of
Halle, Frost & Co. and of @. j. Amidon X
Son show to good advantages; the interior
and exterior views of the plant of the Wor-
den company are of the BEST the old colo
NAL Marsh homestead, built in 1865 and
now owned by Senator L. F. Liscom, is re-
produced as it looked % years ago. the pri-
vate residences are all well mounted and
the half-tone portraits of subscribers are
creditable. We fail to find, however, any
representation of st. Joseph's church or the
Methodist church, the two first in town, or
of Brightwood mills, the birthplace of
Charles A. Dana and other honored land
marks. Neither do we discern the faces of
Rev. Father Wilde, Rev. D. l.. Fisher,
Judge Hopkins and many other men who
are part and parcel of Hinsdale life.
The lack of careful revision is most evil
dent in the biographies, which are many
of them hastily thrown together and by nc
means free from errors. 1t seems trihe
odd to learn for the first time that one OF
our fellow citizens has two daughters and
one son, when we had innocently supposed
that he rejoiced in the possession OF an
only daughter, or that the eldest son of an
other subscriber was daughter after all
The name of one clergyman is strangely
unfamiliar to us and the initials of another
seem out of joint. A church with 20 mem
beers is credited with so, the name of the
late millionaire owner of the Ashuelot mills
is given as "Mr. Fisk" instead of Thayer
and we might go on mentioning divers
other minor misstatements. The fact Is
these biographical sketches were Jumblec
together in hurry, no proof sheet was
sent to subscribers for correction before
publication, and of course it is no fault o.
the publishers or compositors that thes'
mistakes were made, but it denotes laci
of care and revision on the part OF tn
compiler. The incompleteness OF TIL
work of art and the biographical blunder
render it unsafe and unreliable as his
torical record. -[New Hampshire Sentinel

A BOYS MAD ACT.
John White Caught on a Bridge by a
Train-Fireman Hurt.

John White and four other boys were
playing yesterday morning on the Pros
pect-street bridge of the Big Four. They
were caught on the bridge by the Green's
burg accommodation. White lay down
alongside the rails to allow the train TO
pass him. He raised his head and was
struck by the steps of the baggage car,
was thrown off to the street below and
suffered painful bodily injuries. He was
taken on the train to the Union Station
and transferred to the City Dispensary,
where DR.. Virgins dressed his bruises.
He was then taken to his home at 957 East
Georgia street His companions escaped
by jumping from the bridge when the
train came in sight.

AN oPTIMlST DEFINED
Is MAN WHO BELIEVES KERN Is An
TI-TAGGART CANDIDATE.
Frank ID. Burke and the Labor Union
ists-Kern Not quite Ready
Political Notes.

'sDo you know what an optimist is?'
asked Jerry Foley of a Democratic pol
itician yesterday 'An optimist," said the
politician, lis a man who looks on the
cheerful side of things" Mr.. Foley re-
piled: mo. that is not an optimist. An
optimist is a man who believes that John
Kern is the anti-Taggart candidate for
Governor" Mr.. Foley had read in an aft
ernoon paper that Mr.. Kern would be this
kind of a candidate and he was not in
clined to accept it seriously.
Yesterday evening Mr.. Kern said he was
not yet prepared to announce his decision
in regard TO becoming a candidate. He
said he had TO hear from some men before
he could tell definitely. He thought he
would be able to say something definite
by tomorrow afternoon.
In support of his candidacy for Governor
Frank b. Burke asserts that the state
ment that he ever maliciously fought the
labor unions is untrue He says the union
men understand his attitude toward their
organizations and they know the reasons
why he has opposed measures introduced
in their interests in the Legislature. He
has explained these things to their COM
mittees, he says. Mr.. Burke is not of the
opinion that the union forces of the State
will be arrayed against him.
The assertion that John w. Kern, If he
becomes a candidate, will be the anti-ma-
chine candidate, is laughed at by a good
many Democrats. They declare that he
will certainly be backed by the machine.
One of Mr.. Burkes friends asserted yes
terday that he would have to fight the
Taggart machine in this county. This man
declared that IL John w. Kern became a
candidate and showed strength enough the
machine would certainly be for him on
account of his close relation with the city
administration. 1t is doubted by Mr..
Burkes friends If he will be able to get
vote out of this county or even in this
district. 1t is claimed, however, that some
of the most prominent Democratic poll
ticians in other parts of the State will
favor his candidacy
