had been obliged to deny themselves many
comforts OF life in order to get money

Tho woman had become weak, nervous
and wretched. and scarcely able to keep

news that DR.. Hartman would treat such
cases free of charge by letter. She imme-
diately wrote the doctor describing her case.
| and giving him all her symptoms.
She soon received letter telling her ex-
actly what to do and what medicines and
appliances to get. She began the treat

and strong again. able to do her own work

Aipes. M. D., have gone before Mr..
Seorge e. Moore, Notary Public. and
have sworn and subscribed to written
statements confirming the story OF the
awful illness and subsequent cure of
the little son of Mr.. and Mrs. Nc
Bride.
DR.. Lines is particularly emphatic
In his statement. and there does not
now seem to be any room for doubt as
to the fact that Dodd's Kidney Pills,
and nothing else. saved the little boy.
He was SO bad that he had Epileptic
spells which seized him with inc cas-
ing frequency. He was semi paralyzed
IN the right side. and his mind was
Dadly affected.
In their sworn statement, Mr.. and
Mrs. Mcbride say:
THE very day we began to use
Dodd's Kidney Pills our boy had TWEEN
ty-seven Of these Epileptic spells or
FITS. In less than a week he ceased
having them entirely"
The case has caused a great sensa-
tion in the neighborhood. The sworn
statements have confirmed the whole
story.

Popularity Of the pahIia.

Dahlias are growing in popularity.
and dahlia shows are held in some
cities. In the wild plant the flowers
are single. with dull gray and yellow
disk; the varieties of the cultivated
forms are almost endless. The plant
was discovered IN Mexico by Vincent
Cervantes about 1884 and was first
taken to the botanic gardens OF
Madrid and the same year 1t was in
troduced into England by the march
ioness of Butte. The plant became ex-
tinct In that country and was again
taken thither in 1904. In that year
is found the earliest mention Of the
dahlia, named from Andrew Dahl,
Swedish botanist and pupil of Lin
naeus. In Mexico the tubers are cul-
tivated as food, on account Of the
quantity Of inulin they contain, but
elsewhere, though many times tried,
they never have become popular, be-
ing regarded as unpalatable.

= GREAT TRACTION ENGINE.
HauIs Freight In Death Valley and tho
Mojave Desert.

A new kind~of giant traction engine
has been construed, by means of
which men can now travel from end
to end of the terrible Death valley and
the Mo5ave desert. in the Far West
There Is no water in those arid re-
Eions. Again and again men tried to
explore the Death valley. but horses
and mules fell dead In the air of fre.
Enough water could be carried for
men. but not enough for the horses.
Now the difficulty is overcome BY
the enormous traction engine. which
runs on wheels five feet in width and
carries great tanks of water. 1t is
harnessed to a train of large trucks
and can run almost independently of
roads. The vast quantities Of salt and
borax, which up to the present time
no one has been able to reach, are now
hauled out by this railway train.
Few people who buy salt and borax
know that they may have been brought
from the heart of the Death valley.
which the Indians looked upon With
superstitious horror and dread.

Announcement of the engagement
of Lady Grizel Cochrane. daughter Of
Lord Dundonald, the British cavalry
general, recalls that at the end Of the
seventeenth century there was a
Cochrane who owed his life to the
great daring of his daughter Grizel.
This Cochrane had been sentenced to
death at Edinburgh and the king re-
fused to listen to all appeals for
mercy Miss Grizel, however, set her
wits to work; she tracked the post
boy who was bringing the death war
rant to Edinburgh, found him, by good
luck, asleep, drew the powder from
his pistols and later on-for she had
an eye to the dramatic effect-dis.

GIFT NOW IS PRICED.
Carlyle Rewarded Boy With a Shilling
for usino InteIlioence

~aTiyio neWdroeo boy WIN SMILING
for Using intelligence.
The following story published In a
London periodical can claim more
than one point Of interest:
MY grandfather" says the writer,
was very friendly with the sage Of
Chelsea and frequently went in with
messages or to see him during his
visits there. On one occasion | was
sent out on an errand for Thomas Car
Lyle and, being unable to get exactly
wnaC was required, l brought the near
ost thing to it that 1 could get On
my return, after telling him had not
got the actual thing l was sent Tor,
but tat l had brought instead some
thing else as near to it as possible,
Carlyle produced shilling, which he
gave me, as he said: Not because /
had done as l was told, which was
only what l ought to do, but because
had used my intelligence On return
ing home and telling my father about
1t l was very much disgusted when
he told me not to spend the shilling
but to have hole made in it and keep
1t, as he said that Carlyle did not
give many shillings away and some
day l should no doubt prize It, AL
though rather disgusted at the time,
l kept the shilling and it is to-day
among my most treasured posses
sions."
The double reason which the stern
father gave in advising the boy to
keep the shilling will be appreciated
by every CARLYLE student

Professor Hogg Claims Journey VIII

be Mdoc IN thirty Inree DAYS.
Colorado & Southern oficials have
received from Fort Worth, Texas, a
pamphlet setting forth the theories of
Prof. Alexander HogP, who maintains
1t will soon be possible to go around
the world in thirty-three days. A pro-
railway will enable the traveller to go
to point on Bering Strait, instead OF
Viadivostock, the present terminus. Cn
the opposite side of the strait is the
extension of the Alaskan railway. This
road is making surveys from Dawson
to Nome, and has a line Of coaches
at present running from st. Michaels
to Nome. Within the next year it Is
expected a steam railroad will be in
operation between st. Michaels and
Mons. Professor Hogg figures that
by travelling from Nome to Dawson
and thence to Seattle the Journey
around the world will be greatly short
ened
Some time ago the Canadian Pacific
railway authorities were considering
scheme to build line from Hudson
bay to Vancouver. 1t was pointed out
the distance from London to Hudson
bay was much less than to Canadian
seaports. 1t vas estimated that the
ocean trip could be made in four days,
thus effecting saving of three days
between London and Vancouver. In.

SPREAD OF NEW LANGUAGE.
Esperanto" Said to Be Capable of
Universal Use.


According to reports from Europe
the spread of Esperanto, the language
invented for universal use, has proved
of value to Esperantists. At a recent
gathering in London one of the guests
brought with him a French gentleman
and his wife and Czech from Bo-
hemia. None of the three could speak
word of English, but Esperanto was
found to be a perfectly facile medium
for conversation. The Bohemian gen.
ueman had had various amusing ex-
periences while journeying through
Europe. He had taken one of the Es-
peranto journals. marked the names
of the secretaries of the various
groups in the foreign towns through
which he had to pass and so, not
knowing anything of the languages, he
had Travelled through several CONT
mental countries. seeing all that was
to be seen with the help of various
Esperanto friends. and finally ar
rived in England. He knocked at
the door Of a London Esperantist, who
came down to interview the stranger.
found that he needed a home while in
London, but did not know where to
go. as no one could understand him.
There was no difficulty, as both could
communicate in Esperanto.

GETTING ANXIOUS.

People are just beginning to realize
that the article furnished by the
Evening News South Amboy CORE
spondent and published in this paper
ahead of all others in the county, re-
garding the Jersey Central Traction
Company deciding to go around the
borough instead of through it., is a
fact, and it is causing quite commo-
tion among cer5ain ones who are very
eager to have the route laid out
through the borough instead of skirt.
ing it.
At first the very idea was scoffed at
and certain parties said they were not
going to scare any as it was only a
bluff. Now, they are beginning to
squirm and think it time some action
was taken. Hon. John Montgomery
has been anxious from the first intima-
tion made regarding the new move on
the part of the company and in an in
terview with the correspondent ex-
pressed himself as believer in it and
was very indignant with the borough
officials for not having granted the
franchise, when, as he expressed it,
everything had been done by the trac-
tion company in a fair and square
manner and now the Citizen states
that the Hon. John M. has pleaded
hard with Mr.. Vandergrift, the presi-
dent Of the company, for a reconsider
alton and that they apply once more
to the council for a grant and that
Mr.. vandergrift promised to bring
the matter before the directors again.
The Citizen thinks that if they should
send in another petition it will be for
the right of way for only few hun
dred yards between the southerly bor-
ough line and Bordentown avenue on
Broadway and from that point will
run over the tracks of the M. and s..
traction company, and thinks it is up
to the council to act seriously and
promptly if they are again asked, as
it will be the last chance they will
have to act. On the other hand, some
time ago, one of the councilmen in an
interview said that the company
should have filed $50 bond with the
council at the time of asking and said,
too, that the company ought to have
asked at once for franchise when
the learned that it had been turned
down and it would have been granted
them at once.

WASHINGTON, June 22.-President
Roosevelt has taken personal charge OF
the postal investigation, and no an
nouncement of results will be made un-
til he authorizes it. The law officers of
the government who are charged with
the indictment and prosecution Of per-
SONS caught in wrongdoing were sum-
moned to the White House and In
formed of this determination.
Mr.. Roosevelt himself made the an
nouncement to callers that he had de-
termined to take general supervision OF
the investigation, and he also an
nounced that he will not permit any
more talking about the investigation
on the part of officials. Whatever Is
to be given out will be given out when
the case against an official is finished,
and the course of officials In procuring
evidence will not be minutely de-
scribed in the newspapers, as has been
the case.
