VINO OAMMOT BE CURED.

Backed up by over a third of a century
of remarkable and uniform cures, a record
such as no other remedy for the diseases
and weaknesses peculiar to women ever
attained, the proprietors and makers OF
DR. Pierce's Favorite Prescription now feel
fully warranted in offering to pay $500 in
legal money of the United States, for any
case of Leucorrhea, Female Weakness,
Prolapsus, or Falling of Womb which they
cannot cure. All they ask is a fair and
reasonable trial of their means of cure.
They have the most remarkable record
of cures made by this world famed remedy
ever placed to the credit of any prepara-
tion especially designed for the cure of
womans peculiar ailments.

Its rest. Behind the tall, dark frs "thf
great gold sun-god blazing through thu
sky" may still be seen, but now he growf
awenry, and would fain give place to his
Gster, the pale moon.
"The sweet, keen smell-the signing
sound" of coming night is on the air. The
pstless ocean is rolling inland with
monotonous roar; there is scarcely sufli
cient breeze to ruffle the leaves Of ths
huge chestnut that stands near one cor

cony outside the drawing room windows
where Mrs. Beaufort and the two girls
are sitting.
All is peace until startling Interrupt
ton occurs. First upon the air the re-
port Of two guns being fired off quickly,
one after the other! then the quick, 1inty
sound of horses galloping hoofs.

that mad haste belonging to them that

breast; and as all on the balcony rise sim.

AS these thoughts force themselves up

That Elliot Zborowski, who was

prise to those in this city who
remember him as the greatest dare
devil New York and Newport society
ever had. Even FoXha!l Keene, who
has had half the bones in his body
broken, was not the equal TO this
American count for his wild, reck
less disregard for life. He was born
in this city Of long line Of Zborow
skis.
Strangely enough, his death is in
keeping with the traditions of his
family, for none of the male members
ever dies in bed. Back Of this re.
markable circumstance is a tale of o
curse four generations ago launched
at the head of the great-grandfathc
of Elliot Zborowski by an Irish lord.
who, in his anger, called upon hsa.
