NEW TRAFFIC ARRANGEMENT.
A General Agent for Lines East of
Buffalo.

d s-lE
NEW YORK. Sept, 19.--Frank Harriott,
recently the general freight traffic man
ager of the Erie Railroad. has been APP
pointed joint agent Of the general grain
carrying railroads in this State and chair
man OF the New York grain committee,
which consists of traffic managers of the
New York Central. West Shore. Erie, Del
aware Lackawanna and Western, and Le-
high Valley. This means the formation OF
a railroad combination to handle all the
grain shipped from Buffalo to New York.
Instead Of each road fighting for a share Of
the traffic, all of the roads named will act
jointly through Mr.. Harriott. and thereby
they hope TO secure better rates from the
initial lines in the West and also to pre-
vent the cutting of rates eastbound from
Buffalo.
Mr.. Harriott will have absolute control
in the handling of lake grain shipped from
Buffalo to New York. He can make such
rates as he pleases with the Western lines
and can route the grain over any road
East from Buffalo. The trunk line traffic
men say this is not a money pool in any
sense, but an arrangement formed mainly
for the purpose Of securing TO the port of
New York its share OF export grain tom
age. The railroads. they say. can work
more effectively in controlling a large vol
ume of traffic than by cutting rates and
fighting each other.

a DAILY NUISANCE.
A Simple Remedy Which VIII Inter
est Cntarrh Sufferers


in its earlier stages catarrh is more of
a nuisancc han a menace to the general
b. lth, but sooner or later, the disease
extends TO the throat, bronchial tubes,
and even to the stomach and intestines.
Catarrh is essentially a disease of t h =
mucous membrane the local symptoms be
ing a profuse discharge of mucous. stop
page of the nostrils. irritation in throat,
causing coughing, sneeZing, gaggIng, and
frequent clearings of the threat and
head.
The usual treatment by local dodches,
snuffs, salves, etc, often gives temper
airy relief, but anything like a cure can
only be obtained by a treatment which
removes the catarrhal faint from the
blood and the disappearance of the in
Illumination from the mucous sursaces.
A new remedy which meets these &c
quirements and which so far has been re-
markedly successful in curing catarrh IS
Stuart's Catarrh Tablets.
These tablets act upon the blood and
mucous membranes only. They can hard =
ly be called secret patent medicine, rs
they are composed of such valuable rem
edes as Sanguinaria, Hydrastin. Euca-
lyptol, and sim lar cleansing antiseptics,
which cure by eliminating from the blood
and mucous surfaces The catarrhal
poison.
Stuart's Gaia rrh Tablets are .arge,
pleasant tasting lozenges taken inter
nally. allowing them TO dissolve slowly
in the mouth. In this way they reach
the throat, fauces, and the entire ALI
mentary canal.
If desired. they may also be dissolyod
in water and used as a douche. in add
ton to the internal use, but it is not at
all necessary to use a douche; a few CT
them dissolved in the mouth daily wi /
be sufficient. However, when there IS
much stoppage of the nose, douche
made from these tablets will give INNS
date relief, but the regular daily use
internally of these tablets viii cure the
whole catarrhal trouble without resort
ing TO the Inconvenience of douene.
DR.. Bement states that the internal
treatment for catarrh is rapidly taking
the place of the old plan of dOuching and
local application. and further says that
probably the best and certainly the
safest remedy at present on the market
is Stuart's Catarrh Tablets, as no secret
is made of their composition, and all the
really efficient remedies for catarrh are
contained in this tablet"
Druggists sell Stuart's Catarrh Tablets
at so cents for full sized packages ASK
your druggist and IL he Is honest he will
tell you there is no safer, more palata-
bic. more efficient and convenient remedy
on the market.

SOCIAL AND PERSONAL.

The seasons are in rapid transit. The
social affairs of Newport came to an abb
rupt close last week. A chronicieT in
commenting on things social declares that
Newport is satisfied with itself and with
what it has accomplished. notwithstandi'
the fact that the colony is full of schisms
The tradesmen take a very different view
of the situation. They say society has
not spent as much money as usual, and
the season has, therefore, been a failure
as far as they are concerned. The Bar
Harbor colony has distinguished itself
this season. Southampton is embarrass-
ing Lenox by holding together in a man
ner quite unwarranted at this late period
of the season. when Lenox has, hereto
fore commanded exclusive attention.
Lenox, whose gayest period is now open
ing, will have a fashionable rival in
Southampton until the first week in OctO-
Der. From that time until Thanksgiving
Day Lenox will control the fashionable
situation.
