FROM THE FIRST WARD.

Clarence Pidcock, who last winter
met with a serious accident, which re-
suited in the amputation of his right
foot, has returned to Slatington, after
a visit to his parents here for few
weeks. Before going, he wished me
to express through this column of
THE RECORD, toward his many
friends who so literally contributed
in their generosity towards helping
him to the purchase of new foot, his
thankfulness to them one and all, and
especially the employees of the Lam
bertville Rubber Company.
Assembly bill No. 292 authorizes
town councils to appoint treasurer, at
torney, recorder, commissioner of APP
peals, oyerseer of poor, assessor and
pound keeper.
Governor Murphy has refused to
sign the bill appropriating $25, 900 for
the publication of the laws in our To-
cal papers, although he signed bills
appropriating larger amounts of mon
ey for less meritorious purposes.
Well, il you don't know the law, who
must we blame Still, IGNORANCE is
no excuse.

liar, but | never sit down and have
good think by myself without coming
to the conclusion that half of my
troubles have come from speaking the
truth too often.

alderman on salary of $3.50 a year
can save $4,000 in twelve months,

The AMwELL ORCHESTRA CONCERT.

The concert given by the Amweii
Orchestra last Thursday evening, in
ST. Johns Hall, was'a very delightful
one, and drew out large and appre-
ciative audience. The program was
well selected and, with the encores,
made up fine variety, suited to all
tastes.

The playing was finished, with good
expression, and we'll balanced. Con
sidering the fact that about one-third
of the members have belonged to the
orchestra for only few months, the
playinp WAS ouite remarkable. Con-
ductor Yos has succeeded in an unusu-
al manner in developing the musical
ability of the Younger members. 1t is
rare that city of the size of Lambert
vile has better non professional or
ganization. 1t should receive the en-
enlargement of all music lovers.
The cello solos, by Mr.. S. II. Cauff-
man, of the Philadelphia Symphony
Orchestra, were most beautiful. He
is an artist who is master of his in
strument.
The old favorite, Prof. G. L. ]. KEEL
Ter, did fine work on the clarinet, and
materially strengthened the orchestra.
Taken altogether, it was the equal of
any of the concerts given by this ex-
cellent organization, and any one who
did not get his moneys worth must be
hard to please.
The two remaining concerts of the
present years course will be given
next fall.

Better Than pills.

The question has been asked,
'1n what way are Chamberlain g
Stomach and Liver Tablets su-
perior to pills?" Oar answer is:
They are easier and more pleasant to
take, more mild and gentle in effect
and more reliable, as they can always
be depended upon. Then they cleanse
and inyigorate the stomach and leave
the bowels in natural condition,
while pills are more harsh in effect
and their use is often followed by
constipation. For sale by s. w.

"Have some surgeon Shylock on thy
charge to stop his woun DIS lest he do
bleed to DEATH" People can bleed to
death. The loss of blood weakens the
body. 1t must follow that gain of
blood gives the body strength. The
strengthening effect of DR.. Pierce's
Golden Medical Discovery is in large
part due to its action on the blood
making glands and the increased sup
ply of pure, rich blood it produces.
1t is only when the blood is impover-
ished and impure that disease finds a
soil in which to root. The "Discov-
cry" purifies the blood and makes it
antagonistic to disease. When the
body is emaciated, the lungs are weak,
and there is obstinate lingering cough,
Golden Medical Discovery" puts the
body on a fighting footing against
disease, and so increases the vitality
that disease is thrown off, and physi-
cal health perfectly and permanently
restored. 1t has cured thousands who
were hopeless and helpless, and who
had tried all other means of cure with
out avail.

Statistics of food prices prepared by
Bradstreet's show that the prices of
dressed beef have advanced so per cent.
since 1896, pork "A per cent. and NUT
ton so per cent. All prices except for
mutton are higher than in 1899. All
the cereals have advanced in price
and many manufactures, but by no
means all. The cost of living has in
creased materially, but probably not
in comparison with earnings.

THE W. Gu. COUNTY MEETING.


Although the weather proved to be
very unfayorable, the convention of
the Woman's Christian Temperance
Union held in this city, on Wednes-
day of last week, was decided sue
cess. Many of the delegates were pre-
vented from coming on account of the
severe storm, but all of the speakers
were present and did their best.
The morning session was opened
with devotions, led by Mrs. Lunden
Sunderlin, taking Prov. 29d chap,
and making most excellent comments
in passing. Prayers were offered by
Mrs. Bourne and Mrs. Powell.
After the usual committees were ap-
pointed, discussion ON "How we can
assist in the Work" followed, opened
by the county president, Mrs. Geb-
hardt, of Clinton; Mrs. Sunderlin,
Mrs. Bourne, Mrs. Powell, Miss l.. f.
Baily, of Trenton, and others taking
part. Some CT the points discussed
were, LIST, habitual wearing the white
ribbon I'd, having all reports of de-
partments in on time ; Sd, paying all
dues for membership promptly in the
spring 4th, for the members to will
ingly do everything they can them
selves, and in asking assistance from
others, do it as though they really
meant it, and not as though it made
but little difference whether they help
ed or not.
Mrs Bourne then gave very inter
esting Bible reading, taking the life
and example of Job for her subject,
believing that no christian serves God
for naught, for God does protect those
that trust him.
Mrs. A. II. Holcombe conducted the
afternoon devotions, taking the 37th
Psalm for her guide.
Rev. Mr.. Pitt, pastor of the M. Il.
church, led in prayer, followed by
Mrs. A. NJ. Bruen, of Belvidere.
Mrs. H. d. Schenck, recording sec
rotary, then read full report Of the
last annual convention.
Miss Cynthia Lauer sang beautiful
solo.
Miss Clara Rooms then read most
excellent paper on 1.-THE Origin and
Growth of the w. G. 7. IT,"
Miss Lauer recited that thrilling,
story, PATSY" which was
greatly appreciated.
A Model Mothers Meeting, was con
Quoted by Mrs. Bruen, which was of
great value, especially to young moth
ers, in the care and training of their
children. Mrs. Bruen is over so years
old, but her faculties seem to be unim
paired. She is truly very remarka-
BILE woman.
Mrs. Lunden Sunderlin gave, as she
always does, fine address, closing
with loving tribute to the Hunter
don Co. Union.
The evening session was held in the
Presby terrain church.
After devotions led by the State
President, Mrs. Charles M. Dilts sang
a beautiful solo
Mrs. Bourne, after few well-chosen
remarks, introduced the Rev. G. II.
Mead, d. D., of New York. He is a
remarkable speaker and his oratory is
acknowledged to be superior to most
platform speakers All who heard
him were well pleased. Those who
did not missed rare treat.
A violin solo was beautifully rem
dered by Miss Kate Lyons.
The convention closed to meet in
September, at the call of the chair.

by local applications as they cannot reach the
diseased portion of the ear. There is only one
way to cure deafness, and that is by constitu-
tional remedies. Deafness is caused by an in
famed condition of the mucous lining of the
Eustachian Tube. When this tube is infiamed
you have rumbling sound or imperfect hear
ing, and when II is entirely closed, Deafness
is the result, and unless the Inflammation can
be taken out and this tuhe restored to its nor
