Pleroe's Invalids' Hotel and Surgical Institute

Few people are aware of the extent of
the Institution presided over by DR.. Fierce
or that an important part of his medical
enterprise was tho establishment of the
Invalids' Hotel and Surgical Institute,
where people from afar can be lodged,
boarded and treated, with all the privi-
leges offered by the finest hospitals, yet
with personal care and freedom en-
tirely foreign to such institutions. DIR.
Pierce's Invalids' Hotel and Surgical In
stitute has staff of nearly score of
physicians, each man specialist 1t has
meteorological and analytical depart
ment second to no medical institution
in the United States. 1t has elaborate
machines and appliances, together with
all the most approved mechanical appa-
ratus, for the vibratory treatment of dis
eases.
Of late particular attention has been
drawn to the possibility Of treating GER
tain forms of disease mechanically.
Whole pages in the newspapers and
magazines have been given up to the
description and illustration of the me-
chanical devices in use, and the me-
chanical treatment of disease has been
exploited as if it were a novelty. 1t may
be to meny people, but as an evidence of
the advanced thought and progressive
spirit of Dr. Pierce, it may be mentioned
for the cure of disease have been in use
in the Invalids' Hotel and Surgical Insti-
tute for score of years. In this, as in
everything else, DR.. Pierce keeps his
great Institution at the front, with the
result that there is q constant stream of
persons Seeking treatment who come
from tho farthest States and most remote
Territories. Often these invalids have
gone to the great hospitals of the country
and found no benefit coming To DR..
Pierce as last resort. 1t is gratifying
to know that the public faith in DR..
Pierce and his methods and medicines is
amply justified by the many and remarka-
BILE cures which have resulted from his
treatment 1t may be we'll in this con-
nection to emphasize the value of DIR.
Pierce's offer of free consultation by lot
ter addressed especially to those suffering
from chronic diseases. In great
many cases the advertised offers of "free
medical advice" have behind them not
a single medical practitioner qualified to
give medical advice. 1t is only necessary
to point to the medical staff of the In
valids' Hotel and Surgical Institute as
evidence that DR.. Pierce's offer is genu-
inc as 1t is free.

Work OF the General Assembly.

The Yorkville Enquirer publishes
an interview with Senator j. s..
Brice, of York county. Mr.. Brice
says:
"The road law has been amended
in several important particulars. For
one thing, the communication tax has
been fixed at 81 all over the State,
and the working time extended to
eight days if the County Board of
Commissioners shall deem go much
time necessary. The age limit has
been fixed between 18 and so.
School trustees and all students of
schools and colleges have been ex-
empted from road duty.
"The pension appropriation this
year is 100000. This is not to be a
regular thing. The figures have been
fixed at this amount for the reason
that the old soldiers only got $780,
600 last year when it was the inten-
tion of the General Assembly to give
them sl50,0OO. A 100000 appro-
priation this year will correct that
blunder, and hereafter the appropria-
tion will probably be $150,OOO per
annum. There have been important
classification changes, too. No pen
sion is to be allowed to a soldier or
widow who has an income of more
than $3.50. In class A are included
soldiers who arc physically helpless
as the result of wounds. Glass b
includes soldiers who have lost an
arm or leg. Glass G, No. 1, in
cludes soldiers and sailors who have
been disabled by wounds. Glass G,
No. 2, includes those who have
reached the age of 60 years and
whose incomes do not exceed $1O0.
Glass G, No. 3, includes widows of
soldiers who lost their lives in the
service, and class @, No. 4, includes
widows above the age of 60 years.
Glass A pensioners are to receive So
a month; class B, Sc a month
class G, No. 1, and class G, No. 3,
Sd month. All other classes of
pensions So month.
can important act is that which
allows the sale of farm products in
incorporated towns without the pay
ment of license fees.
GA joint resolution was passed
providing for the investigation of
the expenditure of public funds in
State colleges.
"The act providing for the insur-
ance of public buildings, State and
county, except the asylum and col
lege buildings, in the insurance de-
partment of the Sinking Fund Com
mission, was made mandatory.
Under the law, as it now stands,
do not think there is any authority
for the insurance of any of the prop
erty specified in an old line COM
pany. Such policies written subse-
quent to January l, 1901, are invalid.
"Another important item of pen
sion Legislation is that which sets
apart $4,000 of the 100000 appro-
priation for the purchase of artificial
limbs for old soldiers. Applications
for the benefit of this appropriation
must be made within 80 days of the
of the act.'

"DOUGH DAY
FUNDS FOR PRIMARY WORK DISTRI-
BUTED IN THE NTH DISTRICT.

In the cheering glow of long green, William
S. Devery last night closed his melodramatic
campaign for the leadership of the IXth Dis
trict. 1t was literally Dough Day in the Will
lam S. Devery Association rooms at No. 264
Eighth-ave. Each captain received his generous
allowance Of coin of the realm and convenient
wallet in which to store it. To this ap
pended the list of names of voters for which
that captain was responsible The doing out Of
the cash was a lengthy process and if the
amount was in proportion TO the time there
will be little suffering from hard winter in the
IXth.
Faithful to the very last were the regiment
of panhandIers, grafters and beggars that have
f1ocked to the district to profit by the lavish
flow of money Almost the last act of the day
on Devery's part the handing out of a two
dollar bill to professional outcast who has
spent the last few weeks in collecting rum
money from the big Chief" A woman and
tiny baby who were estentatiously ushered into
the presence of the prospective leader, also
1,rofted bv a brief interview to the tune of SIS.
The promise Devery made Of keeping up the
mace to the finish was kept last night, but at
tremendous cost.
While Devery was receiving his captains at
his headquarters, John c. Sheehan likewise was
holding reception at the Pequod House Deny
ing in person and in outward appearance the
r11rnor of bad health. Mr.. Sheehan went to the
district last night fully assured that he was go

In regard to such a visit, but there was
never at any moment in French or Ameri-

Economic Stability Necessary.

Stability Of economic policy must always
be the prime economic need of this country.
This stability should not be fossilization.
The country has acquiesced in the wisdom
Of the protective-tariT principle 1t is ex-
ceedingly undesirable that this system
should be destroyed or that there should be
violent and radical changes therein. Our
past experience shows that great prosper
ity in this country has always come under
q protective tariff; and that the country
cannot prosper under fitful tariff changes
at short intervals. Moreover. II the tariff
laws whole work WELL and if business
has prospered under them and is prosper
ing it is better to endure for time slight
inconvenience and inequalities In some
schedules than to upset business by too
quick and too radical changes. 1t is most
earnestly to be wished that we could treat
the tariff from the standpoint solely of our
business needs. 1t is, perhaps too much to
hope that partisanship may be entirely ex-
cluded from consideration of the subject
but at least Il be made secondary to
the business interests of the country-that
is, to the interests of our people as a whole,
Cnquestionably these business interests
will best be served If together with fixity

time to time to make the necessary reap

care that the reapplication shall be made
in such way that it Will not amount to a

of which mot to speak of the performance
would produce paralysis in the business en-
ergies Of the community. The first consid-

Postal Affairs.

The striking increase In the revenues of
the Post Office Department shows clearly
the prosperity Of our people and the .n-
creasing activity OF the business OF the
country.
The receipts Of the Post Office Depart
ment for the fiscal year ending June 80 last
amounted to $121, s4S. OIL 30, an increase of
SIC, 216. S53.S7 over the preceding year. the
largest increase known in the history of the
postal service. The magnitude of this in
crease will best appear from the fact that
the entire postal receipts for the year 1860
amounted to but $8,51s, OCT.
Rural free-delivery service is no longer in
the experimental stage; it has become a
fixed policy. The results following its in
PRODUCTION have fully justified the Congress
in the large appropriations made for it's es-
Establishment and extension. The average
yearly increase in post Office receipts In the
rural districts Of the country is about
per cent We are now able. by actual re-
suits, to show that where rural free-deliv-
cry service has been established to such an
extent as to enable us to make COMPARE
sons the yearly increase has been upward
of 10 per cent.
