the people, along side Thomas Jeffer-

TOR Racing.
New York, Aug. 13-Work went on
admirably today in the Erie basin, so
far as the fitting out of Shamrock II
was concerned. Early in the morning
the gear which was utilized in the
towing of the yacht over the ocean
was put ashore. At the same time the
fore and aft rigging and shrouds and
back stays that held in position the
sturdy lower mast and stump topmast
were sent down. By tomorrow morn
ing her racing mast will be in position
and completely stayed. Shamrock
will then take the place of Sir Thomas
Lipton's steam yacht Erin in dry dock
and will have her hull scraped for the
numerous impending trials. The
crew of Shamrock slept tonight aboard
the big tender Porto Rico. All hands
are confident of victory.

appraisers, embodying their state
ments, would be in his hands at once.
They went away saying they would
write out their statement and return
shortly. They did return in the af-
ternoon but stated that it would be
necessary for them to go back to New
York as they had found they did not
have sufficient data with them upon
which to base a specific statement of
the facts. l told them that as they
were to return to New York l very
much wished they would call on Ap-
praiser Wakeman next Monday and
lay their facts before him, and that |
had no doubt he would give the mat
ter prompt attention. This they
agreed to do. While I have heard
nothing further from them I assume
that they communicated with the ap-
praiser, especially as the department
has received a preliminary report
from Mr.. Wakeman, stating that he
had begun an investigation of alleged
fraud in connection with japanese
silk importations. Whether the in
vestigation will develop anything in
the nature of the published statement

sure the matter will be probed to thu

Machen is one OF the m akers OF the new
South. He has changed the map of Central
Georgia. Flourishing towns have sprung
M a,cng the railroad lines he has de-
veloped.
Hon, Clark Howell, in an editorial in the
Atlanta Constitution, said of him: ITO the
people of Georgia, Machen is known princi-
pally by the roads he has built in the South.
He has bought all Georgia within hand
reach of Atlanta. He is public bene-
factor"
While at work on the Covington and Ma
con railroad, Machen's health failed. After
much useless expenditure Of time and
money he was induced by friend who had
been cured of nervous prostration TO try
Paines Celery Compound. That the REM
edy was a revelation to him no one can
doubt who reads Machen's letter.
SO Wall street, New York.
Gentlemen l spent many thousands OF
dollars, including Fights months abroad, for
nervous prostration, and then found Paine's
Celery Compound the remedy / ought to
have taken at first. Doctors periodically
tinkered at and patched me up so that my
nerves would hold together for a short
while, seemingly just long enough for my
bank account to get respite. However,
My nerves don't seem to require any rest,
and am in such good spirits these days II
doesn't matter much whether l have any
bank account or not. l have determined
on Paine's Celery Compound as my family
remedy from now on.
e. G. MACHEN.
The Vermont watchman. [volume] (Montpelier, Vt.) 1883-1911, 1901-04-24

AS the pioneer Of new system Of rail-
road building in the South, Macheu knows
what 1t is to live under intense nervous
strain. His Joy at finding In Paine's celery
compound reliable means OF restoring his
nervous energy is shown in every line of
his letter to the propretors OF this great
remedy.
When thousands OF men and women in
every walk of life, from the humblest to
the most famous and honored, voluntarily
go out OF their way to tell others the great
good Paine's celery compound has done
them; when the ablest physicians and the
best informed pharms cists not only pre-
scribe and recommend, but themselves use
and find health in Paine's celery compound,
the present great demand for the spring
remedy is not to be wondered at.
Paine's celery compound is the one real
spring remedy known today that never
fails to benefit. L. cures diseases due to
nervous weakness or bad state OF the
blood. The most wide-awake, intelligent
part of every community In this country are
among its most enthusiastic vouchers anu
endorsers.
The agreement of opinion among the best
informed, most observant class Ct people,
in the well-to-do homes OF our largest cities,
as well as in the more frug Il town commup-
tiles, places Paine's celery compound far in
advance of any spring remedy 1t is, in
fact, the only spring remedy ever heard Of
in the home OF practicing physicians.
