How Are Your Eyes?

You should prize your sight as highly as life itself; for when it is gone you sec but lost opportunities of having failed to take the proper care of your eyes. It is the falsest economy imaginable to purchase cheap or inferior glasses, OF to get glasses of one to whom the science of optics is sealed book simply because they may be had few cents cheaper than an optician would charge you.
 Improperly constructed, unsuitable lenses will in time do your eyes irrepar. able injury. Ed Friedman, graduate optician, deserves no better recon. dation than that which any of hts patrons in this city will cheerfully give him. Mir. Friedman has the latest sP- pliances for testing eyes, besides stock of glasses that would be credit to an optician in any city in the States. Omco at The Igloo, Front street.

Joke on the Seniors.

Another chapter has followed the
junior exhibition and the members of
the junior class are now having a
great deal of sport at the expense of
the seniors. After the exhibition, some
of the senior girls made some remarks
a little too loud in regard to capturing
the class number which hung over the
middle of the stage. This was over
heard by one of the Junior boys and he
went to the hall at once and took this
down and placed it in a place of safety.
He also found the senior number, which
they used, last year, and well protect
ed, they displayed this before every
member of the senior class with some
very appropriate words. A class meet
ing of the juniors was held at the
school building, Saturday afternoon.
and it was decided to have quiet lit
tie time in the hall above during the
evening. All preparations were made
and the ice cream was engaged. Later
developments came about so that they
were offered the A. o. U. w. hall. This
they accepted and in the evening, en-
joyed a very pleasant time, dancing
and a banquet. The seniors had plan
ned otherwise. They proceeded to the
school building and there destroyed the
floor for dancing by sprinkling powder
on it. They also seized the ice cream
that the juniors engaged. The juniors
were onto their game and had their
cream made and not a single incident
happened to mar their good time, not
even a visit from a single member of
the senior class, so close they held
themselves. A deal was put up by them
on the seniors, for they were obliged to
pay for the ice cream they wrongfully
procured and also good price. Both
the class numbers are now in safe
keeping of the Juniors, much to- bthe
chagrin of the seniors.

A Mystery Solved.

The mystery of the masked burglar
who was supposed to have been dis
covered lurking around the Maine
Central freight house, Friday morning,
has leaked out, or at least that is the
way it looks from the story that is now
being told. According to the story it
seems that shifting engine went down
to the freight house from the yard to
do some shifting. Something up in
the yard was required, so the engine
with all the crew but one man went
back after it.
The one man left behind, whose
whereabouts was unknown to the men
inside the house, thought it would be
a good chance for a joke, so he crept
in to the switch and turned out the
lights. There has been considerable
trouble in times past with night
providers at the freight house, SO the
men inside thought they had a chance
to make a capture. So they telephoned
for help, and engines and extra men
were sent down to assist in the chase.
OF course the man who was responsible
for it was perfectly innocent and the
affair went for the genuine article.
This, at any rate, is the story that has
now replaced the original one of the
masked burglar.

grafton at New York, to succeed Mr..
Fitchie, was offered to Mn Sargent some

stood that he had declined. The Presi-
derby was arrived at because. it is al
legged. Mr.. Powderly has not worked for
a long time in harmony with higher off
Gals in the treasury department. There
has been some friction with his officials
just as there has been with the New York

has the choice of either Mr.. Powderlys
place or that of Mr.. Fitchie in New York
His inclinations are to accept the Wash

the position Of director of the bureau of

FOUND DEAD IN BED.
c. A. Small Dies Suddenly in His
Room at Webster Boarding House.

c. A. Small was found dead in his
room at the Webster boarding house
on Temple street, a little afternoon,
Sunday. He was found lying on his
bed just as he came in from the street
and had apparently been dead for some
tint. He went to his room early in the
afternoon, Saturday, and nothing was
heard from until, Sunday afternoon,
when one of the inmates of the house
went up stairs to tidy his room. City
Marshal harrington and Coroner H. b.
Smell were summoned. Coroner Smell,
after investigating the case, decided
that an inquest was unnecessary.
From what was learned it would
seem that Mr.. Small had been drinking
pretty heavily during the past few
days. A pint bottle half full of alco-
hol was found by his bedside and it

THE WILCOX TRIAL.
Little Evidence Against Him-Lynch-

Norfolk. Va. March iC.-The principal

the murder of his sweetheart, Nellie
Cropsey, in the superior court at Eliza

No one. apparently, doubts the guilt of
Wilcox, yet it is believed that the state
will hardly be able to secure evidence to
convict him. Counsel for the defence is
confident of acquittal.
In the history of criminal proceedings
few men ever approached the bar of JUS

so strong as it is today against Wilcox.

What A Waterville Man
Did

Inns statement was made by Henry
J. Collins, IA Drummond Ave. Water
vile, Me-, on the Path of June. 1900:
i weighed one hundred and twenty
four pounds.
My face and BODY were covered
with pimples, and for nearly 8 wears
/ had been troubled with nv kidneys.
~ now weigh one hundred and
fifty-six pounds.
My face and body are free from
pimples, and my kidneys do not trou-
BILE me at all.
What did he do for himself?
That is pertinent question.
Before 1t is answered, let it be saiG
that he did what he was told to do,
and that was what thousands had been
told to do and had done with entire
satisfaction to themselves.
And yet it was what many are delay
ing to do, simply because they cannot
make up their minds to do it, in spite
of the fact that pimples are pimples
and kidney complaint is kidney COM
plant, and what has cured these things
in one person can be reasonably ex-
pected to cure them in another.
He took Hoods Sarsaparilla, which
has an unequalled record of perma-
nent cures of pimples and kidney COM
plant, as well as of all other cutaneous
eruptions, all scrofulous diseases, ca
tarrh, dyspepsia, rheumatism and
general debility.
| Hoods Sarsaparilla acts directly and
peculiarly on the blood, and by making
it pure, rich and abundant, strengthens
ctavoonh 1ixap 1xsl-nvC
fects digestion, secretion and excretion,
clears the complexion, increases the
weight, and builds up the whole system.
Hoods Sarsaparilla, being an excel
lent remedy, is one for which substi-
trtes are sometimes offered. They do
not act like Hoods, and it is expensive,
in view of the result, to experiment
with them.
Hoods Sarsaparilla is obtainable Of
all druggists.
