Bicycles Stolen.

Two cOlored men who had been
employed upon the Tome Institute
Heights, at Port Deposit, appro.
priated for their own use, on Thurs
day morning of last week, two BIZ
cycles belonging to Saml. FL. Fried
man of that town. The men were
evidently judges of good wheels, as
one of those taken was a chainless,
the other a new chain wheel, of the
Monarch make. Now our friend
Samuel is hustler, and the outing
of those two colored sports was
rather short lived, as they were
soon traced to North East, where
they were placed under arrest and
the wheels recovered. The men
will probably spend the rest OF
their vacation at Elkton, while
Mr.. Friedman continues to dispose
of his wheels in future without the
assistance of rider agents.

$4,000 bushels, making the total

cars each, to convey it to market.
Captain W0odall is 80 years old

The following paragraph She will learn

before.
ThompSon's Barosma is not only won
derful kidney, liver and bladder cure, but
has particular advantage as a remedy
forChronic Female Weakness, Palpitatioi
of the Heart, bearing down sensations,
Nervous Debility, Leucorrh0a or Whites,
and Dropsical Swelings. Its peculiar ad-
vantage lies in the fact that it is both
female regulator and kidney, liver and
bladder cure. The womb is situated back
of and very close to the bladder. Awoman
having any pain or distress in the back or
side, at once attributes il to female weak
ness when many times her trouble is en-
tirely from the kidneys or bladder. Hence
woman making this grave mistake will
find sure remedy in Barosma, for
whether she is suffering from womb dis
order or any disease of the kidneys, liver
and bladder, Rarosma will effect a per
maueut cure. For this two-fold reason
BaroSma is the best woman's remedy on
the market. rhompson's Dandeloin and
Mandrake Pills should be used with the
BaroHna, for the liver and constipation.

training combined give him especial
qualifications for the supreme bench.
When his name was first mentioned
in connection with the supreme judge
ship the bench and bar of Allegheny
county we're of one accord in acmowl-
edging his possession of that even
tempered nature and broad and gener-
Gus culture which are so essential to
the Judge in the minds of all who cher
ish high ideals in government. With
potential friends in nearly every craft
and calling in the community, the sat
isfaction over his appointment to the
supreme bench in September 1901, was
universal in the community in which
he has resided and is so widely known.
Justice Potter was born in Iowa
April 81, 1851, being a son of James
H. Potter, q Presbyterian clergyman.
He is of Scotch-Irish ancestry, his
great grandfather, Henry Potter, hav-
ing emigrated from the north of Ire
land about the year 1900, and settled
near Pittsburg, where the subject of
this sketch now resides with his wife
and two daughters, he having married
Miss Jessie Deacon, of Des Moines,
Iowa. in 1884.
His early life revealed an ambition
to accomplish something in the world
and that youthful restlessness so COM
mon to the majority of ambitious young
men, induced him to leave Lafayette
College, at Easton, before his course
had been completed in order to accept
a position in a bank and earn his own
livelihood.
His love for books, however, con-
hnued to assert itself and a strong
predilsction for the law finally led him
to enter upon a course of legal studies,
as a result of which he was admitted
to the Iowa bar in 1880. In the fol-
lowing year he returned to Pittsburg,
where he devoted himself to an addi-
tional and thorough course OF study,
qualifying himself for a rigid exami-
nation for admission to the Allegheny
county bar, OF which he became a
member in 1883. After six years prac-
tice he formed partnership with Will
liam A. Stone, then a member Of con-
gress and at present Governor of Penn
sylvania.
SECRET OF HIS ADVANCEMENT.
From the date OF his admission to
the Pennsylvania bar he made steady
and substantial progress, and If the
query were asked, what has been the
secret OF that advancement the answer
