RIGHT UP To DATE.
(Benson's Plaster Is Palms MASTERY

These are days of records and of the beat
ing of records. Benson's Porous Plaster, for
auiokness of action and thoroughness Of
cure, has no records TO beat except its own.
Benson's Plaster, always the best, always
the leader, ia to-day better than eusr. 1t
sticks to tho skin but never sticks in its
tracks. It marches on.
The people not only want to be cured
but cured quickly-and Benson's Plaster
does it. Coughs, colds, lumbago, asthma,
bronchitis, liver and kidney complaints,
and other ills approachable by On external
remedy, yield TO Benson's as ice does to heat.
Neither Bellsdonna, Strengthening or
Capsicum plastsrs are to be compared with
Benson's. People who have once tested
the merits Of Benson's Plaster have no use
for any other external remedy.
More than 5000 physicians and drug
pists land thousand times as many nom
professional persons) have called Benson's
Plasters one Of the few () home remedies
that can be trusted.
Fifty-fve highest awards have been made
to it in competition with the best known
plasters of Europe and America. Better
proof Of its merits is inconceivable. Be
sure to get the genuine.
For sale by all druggists, or we will pre-
pay postage on any number ordered in the
United States, on receipt Of 25c. each.

PIatt Forced to Yield.

NEW YORK, March Ex-senator
Platt has given out the following state
ment: "The general opinion of those at
the conference held yesterday at the Fifth
Avenue hotel was that the police condi-
tons existing in New York ought to
have the attention of the legislature, but
that it would be useless to pass any bill,
as the governor has declared that he
would veto it. Some of those present
favored state police law and others fa-
vored metropolitan district, but it was
conceded by all that nothing should be
done at present l regret the situation,
as / believe that some action by the leg
islature is important for the city and the
Republican party and | think that such
will be the general public opinion soon.
But if nothing is to be done and If the
present bad conditions are to be sub
mitted to, the legislature is not RESPONSE
bic for that. If it turns out in the next
municipal election that the judgment
which | have formed upon this subject
has been wrong, then | shall be glao
that Tammany has been left in control oi
the police"

A Mothers Terrible Deed.

COLDBROOK, Mass, March 22.-
Mrs. Lizzie Naramore, while in fit OF
insanity, killed her entire family of six
children at her home, farmhouse half a
mile from this village, and then tried to
take her own life. The children ranged
from 10 years to babe of 10 months,
and their lives were taken by the mother
with an ak and a club. Then she laid the
blood drenched bodies on the beds, two on
one bed and the other four on bed ID
another room. This terrible sight met
the eyes of the husband and father
Frank Naramore, when he returned home
late yesterday afternoon. Mrs. Naramore
then attempted to take her own life by
cutting her throat with razor, and
when discovered she was in the bed on
which the bodies of the four children
were lying. Although she cut a deep
cash in her throat and suffered the loss OF
much blood, it is believed she will re-
cover

A Chance For Settlers.

WASHINGTON, March 27,-About "a
whole and fractional townships embraced
in what is known as the Methow valley,
Washington, and within the Washington
forest reserve, probably will be detached
from that reserve and opened to settle
ment in few months. The commission
er of the general land office has recon-
mended TO the secretary of the interior
the elimination Of this area of about l6I,'
$40 acres from the reserve. These lands
have been carefully examined by gov
ernment forestry officials and found to be
more suitable for agriculture than fol
forestry reserve purposes.

WASHINGTON, March 27.-Presi'
dent Mckinley has approved the new
army ration prepared under the direction
of General Weston, chief commissary'
The principal change is in the increase OF
the sugar ration, being'20 pounds to each
100 rations instead of 10 pounds as here
tofore. The vinegar component, which
was 1928 of gill, is changed by allowing
half that amount in cucumber pickles
when desired. In the fruit component
/ 2-5 ounces of jam is allowed for the
field ration in place of l 80 ounces OF
dried or evaporated fruit, which is the
allowance for the garrison ration. A
change is made in the travel ration by al
lowing the canned tomatoes to be served
on the first day instead of the fourth as
heretofore

The April New" Lippincott.

The April "New" Lippincott Magazine
opens with a Complete Novel, as usual. This
month it is a stirring detective story by Mrs.
SCHUYLER Crownlnshield, wife of Admiral
Crowninshield, which keeps the reader guess
ing up to the final pages. "Mysterious Miss
Dacres" is the title, and Josephine Dacres,
the heroine, well deserves the designation.
Among other things which puzzle her land
lady is Josephine's underwriting habit OF walk
ing on the grass beside the path, never on
the path itself, f,-but this is only one of many
of her pecularities, though it is strawin the
wind which points in the right direction.
With good strong plot to start with, Mrs.
Crowninshield makes the most of striking
situation, and sprinkles plenty of humor
through her dverting story.
Cyrus Townsend Brady's College Tale
Fourth in the series) takes up the season a.
BILE subject of hazing at Annapolis. 1t is
called ''A Hazing Interregnum," and is as
full of sport and as clever as anything which
even this popular writer has published.
''The Enterprise of Flora" by Francis
Gribble, leading English author, is really a
brilliant little romance which opens in a
dancing academy and ends-where many ro-
mances do not,-but to mention the place
would be to tell Mr.. Gribole's story.
Adachi Kinnosuke, the American japanese
who writes such beautiful love.tales of his
native country, contributes "a Cherry Bud
in a Foreign Hand " This is an idyllic,
pathetic story of young Japanese girl
named 80 Tome" and an American artist,
who together 'fanned away two summers
and were too much in love to think of MAJ
riage."
"The Last Sonata" by Clinton Danger
field, is a story of gold mining in the west,
short but thrilling.
OF timely Iapers there are two: 'Bees ii
Royal Bonnets," by Felix l.. Oswald, M. d.,
a timely anecdote article on the subject o
Royal peculiarities, and sour Village I'm
provement Society,"" by Eben f. Rexford
giving practical suggestions for bettering, b,

Literary Notes.

In variety and value of contents "Mc-
Clure's Magazine" for April will be a notable
number. Timeliness, literary worth, histor-
ical researches, analysis of character, studies
in natural history, and life next to the soil,
in the metropolis, in the Orient, all these
and more will distinguish the forthcoming
ISSUE and it will be adorned throughout with
illustrations contributed by the best artists
and reproduced with the extreme OF skill in
art-process.
A vivid light will be thrown on the actual
moral status of the police in New York City
by Josiah Flynt's article to appear in "Mc.
Cures" for April, under the title 'York, -"
Dishonest City," The present agitation OF
this subject attaches particular interest to
the contribution, while the manner in which
he famous author has gained his materials
by close association with the criminals them
| selves--will make his conclusions OF extra
ordinary value.
"The Story of the Beaver" told by William
Davenport Hubert, in the April issue OF
"McClure's," will give complete and
sympathetic account Of an animal concerning
which very little is commonly known. Many
and elaborate pictures will complete this in
depreciation of the beavers life.
Ida M. Tarbell will tell in "McClure's"
tor April Of "The Disbanding of the Con-
federate Army" an article Of strongest IN
terest and, too, of historical Importance.
"Walks and Talks with Tolstoy," by An
drew d. White, Ambassador to Germany,
will give realistic picture of the great Rus.
sian genius "Poughing," by Martha Nc
Culloch Williams, will describe with delight.
full sympathy day among fields and burrows
IN the South. In fiction this number will
contain matter of striking excellence An in
stalment of "Kim," by Rudyard Kipling; a
story of amusing imagination in childlife, b,
Josephine Dodge Daskin;a brilliant narrative
of Wall Street DEAL by Edwin Lefevre; ano
other stories The illustrations will be re
markably abundant and of great merit. Among
the artists who will contribute are Edwin
Lord Weeks, Lockwood Kipling, Maude
Cowles, Orson Lowell, A. Radcliffe Dug
more, F. Y. Cory, Frederick Dorr Steele
and w. r. Leigh.

All the factories along the canals in this
