 New York. Nov 25.-The Tribune prints the following:
 After being lost for 75 years, the ssNinety-nine' silver mine. once fa- nous through the whole CatslSlll range. has been found again. At least that is the belief of J. Q. Poole. q mining expert. who is said to live in Trenton, N. J.
 He has discovered 2 cave in the heart Of Shawangunk mountains, nor far from Ellonville, Ulster county, N. Y.. which exposes . wide vein Of pe- culiar ore Numerous assays show heavy value in silver, lead and other minerals Every effort has been made to keep the discovery secret until mineral rights to the surrounding mountain property could be purchased. Poole and the New Jersey men who are backing him are said to have se- cured such rights on more than 5000 acres, and are preparing to start act i've mining operations. Judge A. +. Clearwater of Kingston returned from Ellonville q few days ago. and he is now in New York city with specimens Of the ore Said Judge Clearwater:
 "A few weeks ago. while tramping through the hills, Poole noticed what seemed to be croppings of silver and copper bearing ore at the base of a hill He made examinations, with the result that he found cave and open, ing in the mountains, from which he says he has since taken large quanti-. ties of pure lead ore. as well as quartz. which bears silver and zine in large proportions

 And Went to Germany.

 of Getting Into Debt the Beginning
 of the Trouble-The Queen Refused
 to Pay His Bills and He Went Off

 The Hague, Nov 25.-Queen Will helmina is improving so satisfactorily that Prince Henry will leave Het Loo tomorrow on short visit to Prussla.
 New York. Nov 25.-In connection with Queen Wilhelmina'S illness the following particulars have been pub- lished. says the Amsterdam correspon- detn of the Journal and Advertiser:
 It seems that before his marriage Prince Henry lived for q time at q pace beyond his means. and. as q con sequence. fell into the hands of money lenders. The debts he contracted ili those days were to De settled after ms marriage with the rich young queen, and recently Henry made clean breast of the matter to her. Upon hearing all the particulars Queen W:i- heImina declined point blank to pay her consort's debts, the result being that very violent scene took place be- tween them. which ended i'll Henry rushing away to Germany and Will helnina being taken ill. It is said that only the most imploring telegrams sent him by the queen another, Queen Emma. induced Henry to return 10 Holland. The queens mother is anx- ious to preserve appearances at leasr. Since his return to Holland Henry has not been once to the palace where his queen is. As proof of the serious character of the queens illness. in spite of all reassuring reports to the contrary, may be mentioned the fact that the recent official gazette did not contain single royal command. which is an unprecedented state of things.

NOW LOOK QUIT

''Take care of yourself" say our friends. "rll try to-" we answer. We do take little care, yet in spite of warm clothes, rubbers and mackintoshes, an army of people were bowlsd out by pneumonia and other lung and chest diseases last winter. They caught cold, neglected it, let it fix upon them, were torn by coughs, choked by infammations and compositions, wasted by fever, tired out by pain and then gave up the fight. The hour you realize that you have 8 cold on the chest, place Benson's Porous Plaster where the pain or oppres- sion is felt. If you think two are needed make it two. No harm if you were cov- cred with them. They act quickly and prevent the engorgment of blood in the organs. In. this way-with ordinary cau- ton as to exposure-you will break up the cold and avoid serious sickness. No other applications, or any other form of treatment, will accomplish this as certainly and speedily. Benson's Plasters have dis tinct and positive action and are curative to the highest degree. Use them with the same confidence for coughs, muscular rheuma- tism, the grip (back and chest) and all sim liar ailments. Women, who are chief suffer CTS from cold weather complaints, should keep these plasters always within reach. Get the genuine. All druggists, or we will prepay postage on any number ordered in the United States on receipt of 25c. each.

We Have Many Friends Here in Town Who Are Subject to Such Trouble.

Colds if neglected lead to serious and often fatal consequences.
 Do not go on living with the continual dread of catching cold. There is no need of it. People who take cold easily do so because their system is in just the con- dition to contract them.
 We know of something that will quickly drive colds out of the system by invigorating the entire body. It is VI MOL, the great tonic reconstructor, that contains all the active curative principles found in cod liver oil.
 Here is one letter that we nave had presented to us that we would like our friends to read:
 "I have been suffering from severe cold for number of weeks, and having heard so much about VINOL as being . cure for such troubles, I decided to try it, Two bottles entirely cured me and now feel in better health than ever be- fore in my life.
