Paine's Celery
Compound
Cures
DYSPEPSIA, INDIGESTION,
AND STOMACH TROUBLES.

The tortures and evils of dyspepsia and
indigestion are experienced by thousands at
this time. The dyspeptic's train OF evils
may be enumerated as follows: feelings of
dizziness, languor, nervousness, sleeplessness,
headache. distension of the stomach, loss of
flesh, difficult breathing, and the action of the
heart is seriously affected.
All forms of dyspepsia are quickly banished
by the use of Paine's Celery Compound.
The use Of this marvellous medicine allays the
inflammation OF the nerves centred about the
stomach; it opens up the sewers OF the body
and removes all waste matter; it cleanses the
blood; it makes new nerve fibre; it restores
digestive power, and promotes bodily strength
and activity. Mr.. Fred. Ross, Clarendon,
Iowa, briefly writes about his happy expert
ence with Paine's Celery Compound as
follows:-
at gives me great pleasure to testify 10 the
merits Of Paine's Celery Compound can
candidIy and honestly say it is the best medi-
cine in the world. Two years ago was suf-
fering from indigestion and nervousness, and

without help. used two bottles of Paine's
Celery Compound and got better almost from
the first dose, and have had no use for medi-
cine since. was completely cured

GIANT CLOCK MAKING.

Novel Timepiece Being Built For
the st. Louis Worlds Fair.
A dispatch to the Chicago Tribune
from Milwaukee,, Wis, says: "The
greatest clock in the world, the dial Of
which will be 120 feet in diameter, is
being built at Milwaukee for use at
the Louisiana Purchase exposition next
year.
"Only the hands and machinery are
being made here (Milwaukee), for the
dial Is to be brilliant bed of flowers
The clock will be placed on the side of
the hill north of the agricultural build
ing. The minute hand will be sixty
feet long, and the ring at the end,
which will be fastened to the ma
chinery, will be eight feet in diameter
The minute hand will move five feet
every minute. The numerals marking
the various hours will be fifteen feet
In length and made of bright colored
colcus.
'In broad circle surrounding the
dial will be twelve flower beds, one
opposite each hour and each two feet
wide and fifteen feet long At night
the timepiece will be illuminated with
1000 incandescent lights"

haen Viewed with the strongest disap-
provsI a few years ago. There are now
very few trades or industries closed 10
women. although. Of course, they are
lsss numerous in the harder and rough
or branches. Indeed the increase OF the
number of women working as bread
winners and their invasion Of new lines
az trade and industry are striking fea-
lures Of the age.
Relative TO the effect Of the compeu-
,,on NJ female labor on the standard
of wages, Il is pointed out that the
tendency has undoubtedly been TO re-
duce the wages paid men. This has
caused a great deal Of apprehension
and II has been found that the competi-
ton OF female labor would greatly and
permanently depress the standard OF
wages. II is found. however, that II
does not work as badly as might be
expected. The wages paid women have
steadily advanced, and, moreover, II Is
found that women wage earners as q
rule are employed but a few years
when marriage removes them from the
ranks of workers. But for the inter
vention of marriage the chances are
that the feminine competitors would
greatly depress the standard Of wages
though as 1t is they apparently affect
1t but slightly.

lse of reputation which will rival
that of his predecessor and Of that 9th
er great nonconformist leader, Rev.
Charles II. Sturgeon.
He recently attracted wide attention
in England by the pronounced stand he
took on the education act He sup
ports the policy of refusing to pay the
new church rate levied under the act,
and nearly all the great nonconform-
list bodies of England are joining in
this defiance of the government.
Although educated for the Episcopal
ministry, Mr.. Campbell turned instead
to the Congregational church, his first
pastorate. at Brighton, being eminent
" successful. After eight years Of
work he saw the old church outgrown
and Il new one built in more promi-
nont locality, where crowds came to
worship. Since he has been preaching
in the City Temple immense crowds
have thronged to hear him, his regular
congregation numbering over $500.
Shortly after the death Of the ia
nous Joseph Parker, Mr.. Campbell,
who is tall, graceful and Of striking APP
pearance, with prematurely gray hair,
was asked to occupy the City Temple
for one Sunday. No sooner had the
ultra critical congregation heard him
than he received a call, which he ac-
cepted, and soon began his London
career. The City Temple congregation
considers him a more eloquent orator
than his predecessor.

Suburban Trolley Accidents.

The alarming frequency with which
serious accidents occur on suburban and
rural trolley lines gives timely interest
and pertinency to some suggestions just
made in an open letter sent to Gov.
ernor Bates of Massachusetts by Mr.
w. H. Wheeler Of Worcester. Mr.
Wheeler wants the legislature to see to
It, first of all, that no motorman shall
be employed on a country trolley linz,
until he has had two years experience
and has, besides, proved to a state
licensing board that he is able to do tho
right thing in an emergency as we'll al
to manage his car when no dangers ara
In sight. Just how the test is to b.
made is not revealed, and not much
would be revealed by prearranged diff.
cultles. Still. something could be done
in this direction, and the idea has Ger.
tain merits.
In the next place, Mr.. Wheeler would
have the state pass a law forbiddine
one rapid transit car to follow another
at a less distance than 100 yards, and
ordering the equipment of all such cars
with double set Of air brakes, so that
one could be used In case the other
failed. The regulation as to distance
between cars, which seems extremely
close, could no doubt be enforced. but
In the matter Of air brake equipment
1t will be difficult to force compliance
while the world and corporations re.
main what they are.
Lastly, Mr.. Wheeler would have II
declared a criminal offense, even when
no accident results, to "steal a switch
that Is, for one car to pass the place
appointed for meeting another. This
nefarious but rather sporting act he
says, Is often committed, sometimes
with the approval of the passengers
VINO would rather take large chances
than to endure prolonged delays, and
therefore he would have rewards of.
Iered to those who betray the offend.
ers. One of the essential causes Of so
many accidents on suburban trolley
INES is that they are in reality under
sized railroads instead Of diversified
street car companies and follow the
methods of the latter at the great peri
oi their passengers and the public us
Ing the highways over which they pass
"hile the trolley lines are great con.
venience to the suburban and rura,
population, 1t is evident that there r.
sui chance for great Improvement in
their management, particularly in relo
ton to public safety.

The Jail Breaking Habit.

The tendency of events apparently
unrelate to run In sequences is Illus
trated by the frequent cases OF jail
brea king that have occurred OF late In
widely separated sections of the coun-
try. The most notable Of these were
the 'jail deliveries" at the Dannemora
state prison In New York and at the
Folsom prison in California, both Of
which places of detention were regard
ed as being about as secure as human
ingenuity could make them.
1t can hardly be supposed that prison
wardens have suddenly grown careless
or that convicts have suddenly found
confinement more irksome and unen-
durable than formerly. Probably the
truth is that the inhabitants of any
large prison are less the prisoners of
the walls around them than Of the dis
trust they have for each other and
their consequent hesitation to unite
against the guards whom they SO large
ly outnumber. The intelligence TO plan
and the ability to execute an individual
escape are lacking in most convicts,
but whenever. as In California, lot
Of them combine they can usually gain
at least temporary freedom by sheer
weight and strength. The news of one
such achievement spreads by mysteri'
GUS telegraphy to many prisons, and the
power of suggestion does the rest.
In these days of quick communica'
ton and widespread intelligence the
business of jail breaking is a most un
| profitable one. In nine cases out OF
ten the escaping convict speedily finds
that his energy has been wasted. Fol
him there is nowhere safety, even
though he goes to any place except the
very ends of the earth, and life In
such places is considerably worse than
1t is in an ordinary prison. However
the escaping prisoner has this consola
ton-he becomes the central figure OF
newspaper sensation, which usually
lasts until the publicity which thu
newspapers give him results in his re
| capture.

NOTED ARMLESS HORSEMAN
How w. ID. Denny handled Spirited
Animals Despite Loss Of Arms.

The late w. B. Denny, known far
and wide as the "Armless Horseman,"
long Il resident of Washington, lost his
arms by the premature discharge of a
salute over the body of General George
II. Thomas, says the New York Times.
For many years he had position in
the war department, but year ago he
resigned to give his whole time to his
horses. He was a cavalryman during
the war and always had great fond
ness for horses He had owned and
driven some Of the finest singles and
teams seen i'll Washington.
His courage and skill with mettle-
some, highly bred animals was re-
markable. He was a familiar figure
on the streets Of the capital and often
the District and adjourning states. His
driving was marvellous, in that he
seemed to accomplish his conquest of
the worst horse by talking to him and
so gaining his confidence. When be
undertook to drive a strange and splr-
tied team or to break young horse he
first saw that every strap and buckle
was at its proper place; then he placed
one rein over his right shoulder and
the other beneath his left arm, the two
reins being made fast with a strong
buckle turned under so that 1t was
impossible to slip or come loose. With
the stub Of his arms he was able to
guide the animals. The weight of his
body against the reins brought the
horses to slow up if they got fast and
frctful. Twisting his shoulders and
body from side to side, seesawing the
bits in the mouths until the horses
were willing to quiet down and trot
gently along, he was able to manage
them.
Last spring some of the owners OF
fast steppers had a number of races al
Brlghtwood Driving park, Mr.. Denny's
late home, and he had team entered
in trotting race. The young mar
who was to drive showed in the line III
that Mr.. Denny's team had bat
chance to win. Mr.. Denny became ir
ritated at the stupid horsemanshil
and, ordering the young fellow out Of
the sulky, jumped in, adjusted til,
reins in twinkling and succeeded ii
getting a good position, winning tn,
race easily. Many of the best horse
men in the District and q number from
elsewhere were present, and all de
clared that they had never witnessed
such fine exhibition on any track.
