difficult for me TO attend to them

way in which I found relief eventually

Why The Cadillac Auto

question to answer. For what other is
at the same time speedy, safe, economic

the Cadillac is the machine for general
use, The manufacturers considered this
point when they made it. and turned
out machine without any extra frills
on it, a machine that is equal to most
autos made, yet has no superfious
fittings that cost lot of money. For
those who want sumptuous vehicles for
special purposes, there is the Search
mont and the Waverly Electric. The
Searchmont is a large splendid car for
touring. and is well worth the price,
and the Waverly Electric IS dainty
auto that deserves its great popularity.
But there are great many men who
will be attracted by the figure of $3.50.
and that's the Cadillac's prize. Write

Persisted IN ST0Rpl|
MRS. GATTY RUARK. OF
COLBOURN'S.
Old Lady Went Out in the
Storm Tuesday Night to
Nook After Her Fowl (;
Found the Next forming
Dead From Exposure.

A sad aad pathetic. incident of Tues
day nights Storm. was the death from
cold and exposure, of Mrs Gatty Ruark.
a highly respected woman of Colbourn's
district, near Colbourn's postofice. She
was eighty-nine years old. and lived
alone. It was supposed that she heard
a disturbance among her fowl, and arose
to brighten off the marauder. She did
not dress, but throwing q cloak over her
thin night garments, and selzlng her
cane, without which she could scarcely
walk, she went out into the night. The
wind, which was raging, closed the door,
extinguished the light. and the poor old
woman was left to wander aimlessly
about in the midnight blackness. with
out a ray of light or friendly beacon to
guide her towards her humble home.
Two paths of clean sand had been strewn
around the lot-one leading to her home,
the other winding through the brlars
and bushes into the woods not far dis
tant. It was easy to mistake the right
path in the darkness which enveloped
her. and her ai,nless wanderings were
afterwards traced from her tracks, and
frequent imprints of her fingers, which
the merciless storm had not effaced She
leaned heavily on her cane; as the wind
and rain beat upon her, she drew her
scant garments more closely about her.
Her sufferings her terror, and her pite-
GUS cries can only be imagined. At last
exhausted, she gave up the useless
search, and lay down to what she knew
was her last sleep. The storm continued
to rage, the rain to beat, but perhaps a
kind and plying Heaven looked down
upon her, and & we her sweet and peace
full sleep The heart rending spectacle
of her dead body. scantily clad. her arms
folded peacefully across her breast. and
her head pillowed on her faded cloak,
was found the next morning by her
grandson, Mr.. Walter Ruark, who was
on his accustomed daily visit to attend
to her wants An inquest, composed OF
the following gentleman, was called
James E. Dickerson, John A. Dryden,
John West, Samuel Jinkins, John B.
Adkins, Elijah A. flasher, E. F. Adkins,
John Givans, James West, John Mills,
Upshur Mills, and Clayton Sirmon.
They rendered verdict of death from
cold and exposure to the storm. Her
remains were inferred in Mount Olivet
Churchyard, Friday morning at III
o'clock.

HOchSchild, Kohn & Co.'s
Anniversary.

The sixth anniversary of the establish.
ment of the firm of Hochschild, KOhn
& Co. was celebrated Monday at the
mammoth establishment, Lexington &
Howard streets, Baltimore. and the
event was signalized by a crush of buy
ers such as is rarely seen in a Baltimore
store. The widely recognized reputa.
uion of the store, the excellent weather
that prevailed in the early part of the
day and the unexcelled bargains offered
by the management in honor of the
occasion combined TO make the cele-
bration. from a business standpoint, a
most successful affair.
When the members of the firm arriv-
ed in the morning each of them found
in his Office cluster of beautiful roses
and chrysanthemums that had been
provided as pleasant surprise by the
heads Of the various departments.
When the employees entered the store
in the morning each was presented with
a large. handsome chrysanthemum,
which they wore throughout the day.
The management gave banquet to
their employees last Saturday in the
spacious lunchroom provided for the ex
elusive use of the employees, and about
zoo sat down to the following menu:
Soups, cream of chicken. oysters, hot
roast beef, creamed potatoes, cold turkey.
pickles, cranberry sauce, coldslaw,
harlequin ice cream, assorted cakes.
coffee, tea.
The firm of Hochschild. Kohn & Co.
was established November Is, 1897. At
that time there were but 100 employees,
whereas there are now 700. The ground
space occupied by the firm now is six
times what it was in 1897 Additions to
the store have been made gradually, the
principal one being made two years ago,
when 80 Lexington street was taken
up. The celebration will be continued
throughout the week.

In Milk TESTING.

No test, whether the Babcock OF
some other will run itself. It must be
handled by a man not only honest, but
also competent. The test is acurate
II everything connected with its max.
ing is right. There are numerous
things that need to be looked after
The milk, before the sample Is taken,
must be thoroughly mixed. This can.
not be done by merely stirring it
around. Such stirring may still leave
most of the cream in the upper part
1t must be mixed by pouring the milk
back and forth from one pail to an.
other. The temperature Of the milk
being tested should be the same for
each sample. The acid must be exact
in quantity and uniform in strength.
A failure at this point may give only
unreliable results. Then the speed OF
the machine should be that given in
the directions for making the test. A
too low speed may give results below
the truth. When the bottles are taken
from the machine it Is well to put
them into water at $50 degrees Fair
enheit, so that the fat will remain
liquid till read.
