Ashburnham, Ontario, Testifles to the Good
Qualities of ChamberIain's Cough Remedy.
Ashburnham, Ont, April 18, 1903
l think it is only right that l should
tell you what a wonderful effect
Chamberlain Cough Remedy has
produced. The day before Easter
was so distressed with cold and cough
that l did not think to be able to take
any duties the next day, as my voice
was almost choked by the cough The
same day l received an order from you
for a bottle of your cough remedy. I
at once procured Il sample bottle, and
took about three doses of the medicine.
To my great relief the cough and cold
had completely disappeared and [ was
able to preach three times on Easter
Day. l know that this rapid and effec-
tive cure was due to your Cough
Remedy. I make this testimonial
without solicitation, being thankful to
have found such a Godsent remedy.
Respectfully yours, E. A. Langfeldt,
NJ. A, Rector of st. Luke's Church.
To Chamberlain Medicine Co. This
remedy is for sale by all Druggists.

WALL STREET BROKERS.
what the Public Pays to Keep Them
In BuAineSs.

In Business.
Wall street brokers hold themscivGI
million miles higher in caste than
bookmakers. And they are right
They are the creme de In creme OF
finance. Bookies are the scum. Yet
there are many bOOkmakers in the
street, and not a few of them are
hackers of brokers. Some are big op-
orators, supporting brokers by their
commissions. There are 1.1G0 mem
bers of the Stock Exchange. and these
represent brokerage and commission
firms whose partnerships aggregate no
less than 1852 ablebodied men. 1t is
safe to venture the assertion that each
member of the exchange and his part
ners would turn up the nose at an in
come of less than $4,000 a year.
Hence.
At $4,000 each year these brokers
clean up net about $29,OOO,OO0 There
are some 500 Stock Exchange firms
which pay $3.OOOOOO annually for the
rent Of their offices. These firms en-
plOy 1000 clerks and assistants, book
keepers, runners, etc, at an average
wage Of $1,000, which makes $1O,5OO.-
GOO. Thus we have in three items alone
$42.5OO,OOO that must come out of the
pockets of customers to keep the great
machine well oiled. That is to say
the public pays the sum of $42, 100000
annually for the privilege of support

EcoNTINUED FROM LAST WEEK.

Then ray Of sunlight crept into his
heart, as it occurred to him that this very
engagement would relieve him Of all his
vexations and troubles-that the best
way would be to treat it all as joke.
Well, that was a comfort centainly; and
vet what an utter fool she had made of
him!
Still he slipped out of the difficulty
more gracefully than at one time had
seemed possible. He seized an oppor-
tunity when Sweetwilliam was, for a
moment, absent from Chrystal's side,
and went quietly to the couch and seated
himself beside her.
Look here, Chrystal, he said coolly,
and in the most matter-of-fact tone he
could assume, if you'll throw Sweetwil-
liam over, I'll give Gladys up.
Oh, but I won't! she responded.
I didn't suppose you would, Gerard
laughed; but thought it only polite to
ask you.
All, told you Gladys would be in the
ascendency before very long! Chrystal
said teasingly. In fact, don't believe
she was ever anything else! a.
No; don't believe she was, he ad-
mitted.

DELAWARE SONS ANNUAL DINNER
J The Sons OF Delaware, in Philadelphia,

The Sons of Delaware, in Philadelphia,
Monday evening. gave their twelfth an.
nual dinner at the Hotel Walton, and il
was attended by nearly two hundred
members and invited guests. The menu
offered was OF most tempting quality
and it included Broadkyln green turtle
soup (clear), filet of Henlopen sea bass,
Sussex tenderIoin of beef, old Kent sweet
bread, Delaware quail and Diamond State
ices, with many other features not iden-
titled with this state.
It was fraternal gathering on the top
floor OF the hotel and there was period
of social chat prior to the dinner. Bishop
Coleman offered grace and then the guests
set about to dispose of the menu in regu-
lar form. AT the end OF this part of the
evenings pleasure DR.. Thomas Stell-
wagon, toastmaster, introduced Mayor
Weaver, of Philadelphia who, in few
happy remarks, extended the hand OF
welcome. Then DIR. George Edward
Reed, Of Dickerson College, made semi
humorous address with strong plea for
more interest in matters political, calling
attention to the lurking dangers of the
day and the falsity of the happy belief
that the casting of ballots by the individ.
ual was typical Of self-government He
contended that this was mistaken no.
ton. incidentally he paid high trib-
ute to the Hon. George Gray, and re-
marked that while he was Republican
he would speak as a Democrat, holding
that Judge Gray would be all ideal can
didate for the Democrats to nominate for
President, yet to be defeated by Presi-
dent Roosevelt.
William T. Smithers, in his happy and
characteristic fashion, spoke briefly on
the toast ''The Women of Delaware"
and George B. Hynson of Wilmington,
read three Of his delightful bits Of verse,
in most effective way. He was followed
by William s. Hilles. who spoke on
Fraternity, Our National Characteris-
tic" and dwelt upon the American idea
of an equal chance for every man. He
said that the conflict between capital and
labor was deplorable and that it was
menace, yet he believed that the differ
ences were being settled in the right way,
and he hoped that no effort would be
made to draw line as between any two
classes Of the people of the country. His
were strong and were loudly
applauded.
Set speeches being concluded, the Hon.
L. Irving Handy was called upon for a
lew remarks. He spoke, of course, in his !
usual happy way, but made marked hit |
when he declared-as if echoing the sem
timent of DIR. Reed-that it was time for |
the silver and gold Democrats to bury
heir differences and unite upon the Hon.
George Gray as tile Democratic candidate
or President.

PENEYPAcKER VISITS DELAWARE

Dover, DEL, Dec. 4th.-Not every
man in Delaware or in this part of the
United States will get farm for Christ
mas gift, but one man is authority for the
statement that he has been put into pos.
session of such gift. The man is Gov
ernor Samuel W. Pennypacker of Penn
sylvania and lie arrived here this after
noon from Harrisburg and drove out to
the splendid Juseph r Whitaker farm
to view his possession and uiiIuuhteliy
to eat genuine Delaware country din
| ner.
Either the expectation of seeing the
farm or the dinner put the governor in
the very best of spirits. He looked ex-
tremely happy and as though he was en-
joying the best OF health as he stepped
from the Norfolk soutsbound train this
afternoon at l O'Clock and started slowly
up Loockerman street. His felt hat was
pressed down over his forehead as though
he desired to throw aside all official dig
nifty and become one OF the crowd of
shoppers that pressed up Loockerman
street, looking at the Christmas displays
in the store windows.
The governor seemed surprised when
recognized by newspaper man who Of
fered to do him any service while at the
capital.
"Can you say anything to me concern
ing your visit?'' the correspondent asked
"Why, yes, I'm glad to be here; how
are you'll"
care you here concerning any matters
OF state?"
"Weli, to tell the truth, I'm farming
to day. Nice day for it, don't you tl,inkr'
and the governor pointed to the over
worked horses ploHghing through the
deep snow, and he laughed aloud.
lis it true that you will fall heir to
the property of Joseph R. Whitaker,
late Of Dover?"
'Not exactly, only in measure. You
see the late Mr.. Whitaker was my uncle
and he was very good to me and we get
fine farm just outside your town. I'm
going out now to see what it looks like.
You see, I've been in the Delaware cap
ital before? and with this the governor |
wheeled around and approached car
riage that was waiting for him at the !
Bayard House, III cfrarge Of farmer.
The farm which Pennsylvania COVER
nor will inherit lie situated just north.
east Of Dover and is considered one of
the most desirable in this section Of Del
aware. Joseph r. Whitaker's estate has
been in the course of settlement for some
time in this county, and it is understood
an equitable division Of his estate OF over
800, 600 has been reached in accordance
with the will. s..a
While here5 Governor Pennypacker
manifested much concern as to tile vel
fare of the stricken town Of Greenwood, |
wrecked on Wednesday by the explosion
of dynamite and naptha being carried
through town on the Pennsylvania rail-
-oad. He inquired as TO the number of
persons actually driven from their homes
n this winter weather, and asked what
arrangements were being made for their
uture comfort.-Morning News.

CONSTANCE GRACIES
FUNERAL I'M PARIS

PARIS. June 13.-The shocking death
of Constance Oracle, the twelve-year-
old daughter of Archibald Oracle, of
New York. caused widespread sorrow in
Paris The attendance at the funeral
in the American church was almost be-
yond precedent. The family is staying
at the Hotel Tremoille. The accident
has directed attention to the absurd
system of operating elevators in Paris.
where any chance caller is expected to
run the apparatus himself. 1t is true
that most Paris elevators are about the
size of an exaggerated collar box, but
they should be supervised and be oper-
ated by an experienced person The
wonder is that more accidents are not
caused by this petty sort of economy.
In this instance the child drew up the
elevator herself, getting in while it was
still in motion.

GENERAL WILSON'S SLAP
At GEN. LEONARD WOOD
Army and Navy Officers Don't Care to
Talk About It.

Neither army nor naval officers are
inclined to discuss the remarks of Gen
eral Wilson before the graduating class
of the Military Institute at Wilmington,
Del. Although General Wilson did not
mention General Wood by name, it was
clear from what he said that he re-
ferred to the former Governor General
of Cuba when he spoke of doctor of
medicine having been jumped over the
heads OF his superfors. IN SO saying,
he advised young men to enter the navy
rather than the army. The advantage,
he said, was greater, and there was no
danger that doctor of medicine" no
matter how capable, would be promoted
over captains and admirals, and no vol
unteer or layman would ever be called
to command a great naval vessel.

QUEER STRIKE STILL ON
At HUNTINGTON, W. VA.
Twelve Hundred Railroad EMPLOYEES
Out Because of Political Troubles.

HUNTINGTON, w. Va, June 49,
Because the officers of the Chesapeake
and Ohio Railroad shops at Huntington,
W. Va, refused to discharge carpenter
named William Davis twelve hundred
employees are on strike.
Davis brought the trouble about. It
seems that there is contest being
waged in Huntington between Mayor
Charles M. Buck and the chief of police
as to who is the executive head of the
city government.
Recently several policemen appointed
by the mayor were dismissed, and they
were replaced with candidates unknown
to the mayor.
Then the council voted to take from
Mayor Buck his power to name the
standing committee of the council Davis
voted with majority of the council
Buck Is a member OF the Biacksmiths'
Union, and the union demands that
Davis be discharged. The railroad COM
pany refused and the strike OF twelve
huLdred men followed.

HOLDS UP $4,000
ON PENNkLL'S LIFE

BUFFALO, n. Y, June 13.-The entire
Burdick-Pennell case may come up
again in court If any attempt Is made
by the administrator of the estate of
the late Arthur r. Pennell to collect the
$4,000 life insurance. Insurance men
here say the insurance company has
proofs in the matter of Mr.. Pennell's
death that have never been made pub
lie. Mr.. Pennell was insured for s115,-
600 IN one company, and of this $5s 900
has been paid. The remaining SIS, 900
was taken out within year OF the time
of Mr. Pencils death, and as the com
pany was protected by suicide clause
it will refuse to pay this sum on the
ground that Mr.. Pennell committed sui
eide.
