james Burns Expired suddenly AT
Six O'Clock Yesterday.
James Burns, who lived on
Eighteenth street, dropped dead at 6
o'clock last evening in the coal yard
of F. P. Jones, where he had gone for
a load Of coal. Burns had leased the
soap factory on Seventeenth street for
merly conducted by the late Samuel
Elder, and was after coal for the plant.
Persons who saw him fall Immediately
went to his assistance. He gasped
few times and expired before the ar
rival of the physician who had been
summoned. Death was due to heart
disease.
James Burns was one Of the best
known men in the city. During Louis
Delbrugges term as chief of police,
he was an officer on the force. Later
he was employed at a Benwood plant,
until very recently when he leased the
Elder soap works. In politics he was
a Democrat, in religion a Roman Cath
Ollie. He was robust, and apparently
in sound health when he died.
By a singular coincidence Howard
Reynolds, who was injured on the
Hempfield road, lives directly opposite
the residence Of Mr. Burns.

In the show window of the shoe store
of J. H. Milligan Sons is several pairs
of slippers worn by the Philippine peo-
pie. All are toe slippers; some made
from cloth, others from knit bamboo.
The most curious pair are those known
as rainy day slippers, of which the toe
part is very small and is worn with
the big and little toe on the outside.
The sole. which does not reach the
ground, is of wood with a large wooden
heel There is also another wooden
heel under the part of the foot known
as the ball, the slipper really having
two heels. The unique footgear at
tracts much attention. 1t is the prop
erty of William G. McClelland, who

A WISE METHOD

Adopted by the Simpson NJ. f..
Church to Pay OF Its Indebted
ness.
The Simpson NJ. E. church, situated
on Eoff street, is in a financial condi-
ton which greatly alarms the trustees
and pastor. There is over $4,000 which
is due January l, 1901, and they have
ADOPTED a method after being advised
by many of their white friends, to send
out an appeal to the citizens for small
contributions to aid them. This is to
prevent the annoyance of a solicitor
calling at your places of business and
your homes, The name of every con-
tributor and the amount contributed
will be carefully recorded.
The citizens will make no mistake
in aiding these struggling people. If
any one not receiving an envelope will
send a donation to this church as
Christmas Offering it will be gracious
ly received. 1t should be sent to Rev.
j. w. Waters for Simpson NJ E.
church. The ministerial union has
heartily endorsed the project.

GOOD REASON FOR IT.
The Success and Popularity of the
New Aatarrh Cure.

y
New 1atarrh Cure.
The remarkable success and
popularity of the new Catarrh
cure, Stuart's Catarrh Tablets, is
largely because it not only cures
catarrh, but because catarrh SUI
ferers who use these tablets know
what they are taking into their
systems; no secret is made or
what they contain They are COM
posed of Hydrastin, blood root,
guaiacol and red gum, are pleas
ant to the taste and being dlssolv-
ed in the mouth they take imme-
diate effect upon the mucous lin
ing of the throat, nasal passages
and the whole respiratory tract.
The cures that Stuart's Catarrh
Tablets have accomplished in old
chronic cases are little short OF
remarkable, and the advantage OF
knowing just what you are taking
into your system is of paramount
importance when it is remember
ed that the cocaine or morphine
habit has been frequently con-
tracted as the result of using Sc
cret catarrh remedies, as SO many
of them are well known to contain
these injurious drugs.
Stuarts Catarrh Tablets meet
with the approval and cordial sup
port Of physicians because, their
antiseptic character renders them
perfectly safe for the general pub
lie to use and their composition
makes them a common sense cure
for all forms of catarrhal trouble.
With nearly all advertised ca
tarrh cures, it is matter Of guess
work as to what you are taking
into the stomach, as the propri-
tors, while making all sorts OF
claims as to what their medicines
will do, are very careful to keep it
a close secret as to what they real
ly contain.
This is one reason why Stuart's
Catarrh Tablets have been so
widely recommended, because they
are not only pleasant and convent
ent to take Out the patient also
knows he is not putting into his
stomach anything of an injurious
character
These tablet are sold by drug
gists everywhere in the United
States and Canada at so cents for
complete treatment, and probably
there is no better remedy ever de-
vised for the permanent cure Of
catarrh, whether located in the
head, throat, bronchial tubes or in
the stomach.
