At the meeting of the stock
holders of the st. Mary Park AS
ISOLATION last Wednesday night,
for the purpose of taking the sense
Of the corporation upon the prop
osition to increase the capital stock
frc m five thousand dollars, the in
crease was authorized by a large
majority of the whole number
and no shareholder voted against
it. The object of the increase was
to raise more money for the
purpose of erecting stables upon
the park grounds. which are badly
needed, and which can only be
built at the present time, by issu-
ing more stock, as the indebted
ness of the Park Association is too
great to spend the money it has
been earning this season, for more
improvements. The new issue OF
stock will be offered for sale right
away, and we trust that our people
will come to the rescue again, and
help complete the grounds. After
the contemplated improvements
have been made, the balance of
the money for which the stock will
have been sold, could be used in
paying off the present indebted
ness. The issuance of new stock
is the only fair way that the
money could have been raised,
because to have solicited private
subscriptions from the public
would have been the same as ask
ing one person to give to an
other, because the stock of the
stakeholder would have been
placed practically at par in point
of valuation, while the donor
would have received no benefit.
Let the good work continue in its
present course.

Chamberlain Cough Remedy has a
remarkable record. 1t has been in use
for over thirty years, during which time
many million bottles have been sold and
used. 1t has long been the standard and
main reliance in the treatment of Group

this time no case has ever been reported
to the manufacturers in which it failed
to effect cure. When given as soon as
the child becomes hoaase or even as soon
as the croupy cough appears. it will pre-
vent the attack. 1t is pleasant to take,
many children like it. 1t contains no
opium or other harmful substances and
may be given as confidently to baby as
to an adult.

FUN FOR THE ACTRESS.
Suggests Good System for ArOusAnS Hotel Guests.

"I was surprised at the thorough ness of the hotel fire alarms of Wash ington,'' said guest of one of the leading hotels to a represen tative of the Star. Tt was about two o'clock this morning when the thing went off. An actress came home from a late sup per, and not getting the elevator in time, touched off the fire alarm. There is a little disc alongside of the elevator bell on each floor, about the size of an ordinary watch. A little nickel hammer is attached by a chain, and on the glass in the disc Is painted the words: In case of fire break this glass. The actress didn't do thing to the glass, and as a result there was the greatest commotion you ever heard. The halls were filled with peo- pie looking for fire-escapes, and most of them had their summer clothes on
 Windows were thrown open, and it is great wonder some one did not jump out. Bremen ran hose in the halls in every direction in few seconds, and then it was found to be false alarm. Many of the ladies could not sleep again, and remained in the office the rest of the night. It was great fun for the actress, but it showed a most re- markable system of alarm. I would consider the system perfect, and be- leve, unless people got very much de- moralized, the entire hotel could be emptied in less than five minutes

IDENTIFIED BY HIS DOG.
MOney-Order Clerk in Post OfHce Pays on Seeing Owners Name
 on Dogs Collar.

Bank clerks naturally and neces- sarily require satisfactory Identifies tion of persons who ask to have checks cashed. The same rule is fol- lowed in the post office by clerks who cash money orders; but what the nature of the identification shall be, and by whom, is a matter which rests to some extent in the discre- tion of the clerk The Boston Her. aid tells a story lin which dog bore witness to his masters identity.
 A Boston business man called at the postal order department the oth- CT day to get an order cashed, but the clerk in attendance had only re- gently been appointed. He said the caller would have to be identified be- fore payment could be made.
 ''Why, I have had hundreds of or ders cashed here," he replied, with a show of impatience. Isn't there some one here who knows me?"
 'I'm the only one on duty just now. The others are out to luncheon,' said the clerk.
 twill you take the inscription on my dogs collar as sufficient identiff- cation?' was asked.
 ''Yes, that will be acceptable"
 The man whistled for his terrier, and, taking him in his arms, boost ed' him up to the window. The clerk read the name and address on the collar and paid the order.

 I have for the last five years used successfully dressing for leather boots and shoes composed of oil and india rubber, keeping out moisture and uninjurious to the leather applied, leaving the same soft and pliabIe, says 8 writer in the Scientific American To prepare the same heat in an iron. vessel either Ash oil, castor oil or even tallow to about 250 degrees F., then add, cut into small pieces, vulcanized or raw india rubber, about one-fifth of the weight of the oil, gradually stirring the same with wooden spatula until the rubber Is completely dissolved in the oil.
