When The difficulties of the forced

tiers Of the invading king they are
stored till they can be divided among
their captors-so many to the king, so
many to his captains, so many as prize

days before everything can besettled;
meanwhile the slaves are crammed al
together into the smallest possible
space, probably locked up and not al
lowed to move out of their prison
house for any purpose whatsoever.
During thi. time the strongest of the
slaves are bound. They are powerless
to help whatever may be done to the
others who are their fellow towns

members Of their own family. And
much is done; the refnements of tor

Eel Creates Panic Among Women ia
Small Boat


A most unusual incident occurred
. a party Of women who visited the
Orleans life saving station, says the
Boston Globe. Serious consequences
we're narrowly averted through the
kill of Capt. 1linnell in keeping his
boat right side up. but since the affair
ended without injury to anyone, only
the comical side is now referred to
by any Of the participants
Capt. Dean S. Linnell took a party
Of dozen women in a flat-bottom
rowboat fspm Barley Neck across
Meeting House pond to the life saving
station TO witness a boat and gun
drill. In the party were Mrs. Lin
nell, Mrs. Shaekley and Mrs. Stur-
teyant, whoresidein that locality dur
ing the hot weather, accompanied by
a number of summer girls boarding
there, a dozen or more in all, filing
the boat to its capacity.
On the return trip across the pond,
just as Capt. Linnell was rowing the
boat out Of the eel grass, an eel
jumped out of the water and. landed
in the bottom Of the boat The scene
that Immediately followed is indie
scribable. The traditional mouse
never caused SO great a panic among
wearers Of petticoats as did this slip
perry eel In this instance there were
no tables or chairs for the women TO
climb upon, and. while Capt. Linnell
would not allow them to stand upon
bis head or shoulders. he found it i'm
possible to keep them from jumping
up and down on the thwau and near
Iy falling over each other
Indeed, the Jolly skipper, who now
had become decidedly serious, had all
he could doto prevent someofhis pas
sengers from jumping into the pond.
)ne of them tainted and two Others
became hysterical, and it was all the
evel-headed ones could do to keep
the boat from capsizing and throwing
The whole party overheard.
A dozen hands were grabbinga at the
greasy, wriggling little eel and trying
% get the cause of all the mischief
overheard. The slippery thing went
through everybody's fingers, untiTat
asst Mrs Sturtevant succeeded in clos
ng on its tail with a viselike grip be-
ween forefnger and thumb, and,
though it promptly twisted uparound
her wrist, she at length shook it off |
nto its native element.
Capt. Linnell was then able to
break away and emerge from the mass
# femin.nity with which he Lad |
been envsloped, and after a time
reached the shore, where the girl who
had tainted was resuscitated and the |
lysterical ones restored to their nor
nal condition.
Though the accident thus fortu-
lately ended, it was an extremely mar
'ow escape from drowning for the
,arty, as the boat was on the verge Of |
several times.

Why Osteopathy is Popular.

It is a fact that the Osteopath in
few weeks or months obtains a
standing with the best people in his
community that it would take a
physician years to acquire.
The reasons for this are many
and obvious. In the first place,
the theory of the science of osteo-
patty is a rational and common
sense one. There is nothing vague,
mysterious, or occult about it, but
being based upon the laws of ma
ture it commends itself to the UNI
prepared and thinking mind.
Another thing that tends to popu-
larize it is the plain and reason
able system of charges usually
adopted by the osteopathy a system
whereby the patient is enabled to
tell approximately what it is going
to cost him to regain his health
The treatment is undertaken with
the knowledge that there will be
no bill for medicine, extra visits,
etc, at the final reckoning.
Almost everybody dislikes to take
medicine. There is hardly an
adult to be found who has not many
times been depressed and sickened
by heroic doses of drugs, and as the
IrIshman expressed it. "felt sick a
long time after he got well. " If
osteopathy did nothing but abolish
experimental doses of poisonous
drugs and curtail the number of
surgical operations, it would be
worthy of the gratitude of cosntless
sufferers.
And finally, osteopathy has 10y
defenders and warm adherents
among all classes because OF re-
suits attained by its practitioners.
"Nothing succeeds like success. -
1t is results that tell
What the invalid wants is to get
we'll. He is not so much interested
in the name of the school of healing
to which his doctor belongs as he is
in the fact that he can do what he
claims to do. 1t is by this standard
that osteopathy asks to be judged
While the claim is not made for it
that it is a cure-all or that it has
eliminated death from the world,
! yet the fact remains that it has
brought health and vigor to the
hody and cheer to the heart of many
an invalid from whom all hope had
vanished.
These are but few of the reas.
ons why Osteopathy has firm, loya
friends wherever It has been intro
duced by competent and conscien
tious Osteopaths. If you are sicl
and suffering try Osteopathy. 1
you desire the most profitable pro
fession try Osteopathy. For free

COLLECTOR ARRESTED.
John d. Jones, of Taylor. Accused of
Embezzling Several Thousand
Dollars by Fidelity Co.

John -. Jones, who has served for
the past seven years as tax collector of
the borough of Taylor and who is rec
oGniZcd as one of it's leading citizens,
was arrested late yesterday afternoon,
at the instance of the Fidelity and De-
posit company, of Maryland, on the
charge of embezzlinE certain moneys
collected by him as taxes.
The warrant for his arrest was is
sued by Alderman Myron Kasson, the
information being sworn to by Attor-
ncy Robert Murray, who is the com
pany's local representative. The COM
pany went Mr.. Jones bond for the year
1900 i'm the sum of 100000.
Mr.. Murray claims that rumors
reached his cars some time ago and
that an investigation resulted in the
discovery that Mr.. Jones was short
several thousand dollars. His arrest
was accordingly ordered by the COM
pany.
A brief hearing in the case was held
in Alderman Kasson's Office yesterday
afternoon at o'clock, for the purpose
Of determining the amount of bail. The
defendant wished to waive a hearing,
but the alderman insisted that one be
held. Attorney Murray offered the
amount of the tax duplicate, and stated
that he felt convinced that MIR. Jones
is behind to the amount of several
thousand dollars. Until an expert ex-
animation is made of the books, he
said. it will be impossible to get any
specific facts.
Alderman Kasson finally fixed the
bail at $1,000. DR.. Hauser and John T.
Thomas qualified as bondsmen.
