the man who uses any other medi7

ence, and the hint given here
should be valuable to every man
who wants to promote his bust
ness.
J. J. Summons of Cameron,
who has been here for a few days
visiting his mother, left this NOR
ming for his home. Mr.. Sammons
formerly resided in Sistersville,
and was city engineer for two or
three years, during which time the
wharf was made, several streets
paved and the reservoir built.
The latetr was different piece Of
engineering, and time shows that
it was well done. AS a civil engi-
neer, Mr.. Sammons is an expert.
There will be a good game of
baseball at the ball grounds this
evening. The game will be called
promptly at 6 o'clock, unless we
have more rain. Thursday the
team from Pittsburg came down
on the Queen City, and as she did
not arrive until after 6 O'Clock
no game was played that day.
Yesterday the game had to be call
ed off on account of rain, so two
games will be played today. The
first one will be called at 2 o'clock
and the second promptly at 6.
1t may seem glorious sport to
those who wake people at all
hours of the night by firing can
non crackers for a week before
the Fourth, but it is not much OF
a joke to some. Those who are
sick, especially, do not bless the
thoughtless ones who disturb
them, and those who are over
worked or kept awake by waiting
on some member of the family I'M
til they can hardly endure the
WEAKNESS, do not smile when
aroused. Our citizens will think
very kindly of the police if they
will put a stop to the usual racket
preceding the Fourth of July.

Does he underrate it?" wondered
the other. ''Verv well-he shall see ,"
My belief is that, until the end of the
week, Mr.. Blaine thought the thing
would plough under and be lost before
election-day.
1t was not until Saturday evening
in a speech delivered at New Haven,
while Democratic thousands were parad-
ing New York beneath the banners from
Ann Street paint-shops that Mr. Blaine
first referred to the Burchard blunder.
The nub and crystal of it all lay in his
last sentence:
Although Protestant by conviction
and connected with Protestant
church, ! should esteem myself of all
men the most degraded if. under any
pressure or under any temptation, |
should in any presence, make a disre-
spectful allusion to that ancient faith in
which my revered mother lived and
died

come forth. Within, | found Mr. Blaine
standing near a table in the centre of
the room. Beside the table sat Garrett

having a conference, I thought-the

ton tonight" said Mr. Blaine He
pushed a chair for me at the table
please write as | dictate" he added,
still standing, while Hobart watched
across at the work
Beside me on my desk as I set down
these recollections lie FIVE small and
time-yellowed pad sheets on which |
wrote at Blaine's dictation that Sunday
night, two days before his defeat in
1884 There are some erasures and some
intervening done by Blaine's hand, and
beside these sheets of copy lies now the
pencil which he used. He began his
dictation thus:
A delegation OF Catholics, headed by
Patrick Ford, editor of The Irish World,
called this evening to extend congratula-
tons to Mr.. Blaine upon the manner in
which he had referred to Rev. Mr.. Bur
chard's infelicitous remark at the late
meeting of ministers in this city"
who were the other members of the
delegatior-who, besides Ford ?" I ask
ed. Blaine was annoyed. He spoke
shortly.
Never mind about ttat-continue,
please"
But. Mr.. Blaine. must have the
names of Mr.. Ford's colleagues" Where
at Mr.. Blaine was clearly vexed Ho-
bart moved uneasily, glancing from one
to the other. With fine tact he spoke,
in that tone OF comradeship which, when
deity used, IS very potent with young
reporter.

1t was a quiet Sunday morning on

THE AUTHOR OF THE. THREE
RS
On the following Tuesday Mr. Blaine
was defeated by the maddening trifle of
1000 votes in New York State
And DR. Burchard? He became the
most berated and the most ridiculed
citizen of the republic The burden of
Blaine's defeat was fastened upon his
giant shoulders. His influence and posi-
ton were well-nigh destroyed, and
year later he resigned his pulpit and
quit the ministry Later. when political
passion had cooled, I met him socially

Pardon me-" I urged, st does make
a difference. The first question at the
office and next from the public will be
as to the identity of the entire delega-
ton" Mr. Blaine spoke quickly, almost
interrupting:
Merely say that Mr. Blaine gave
out no other names"
But that does not absolve me-" I
persisted. Names are news in this mat
! ter; and, besides, | saw Mr.. Ford COM
ing out from here just now-did he re-
main after the others had gone. or were
there no others?' Mr. Blaine's eyes
clouded swiftly, He was tired, anxious,
possibly desperate-must he be forever
harried by this wretched business? His
breath was indrawn for an explosion,
but the tactful Hobart lifted a restrain
ing hand, stood up hastily, and leaned
across the table.
There, my boy, don't be suspicious"
smiled Hobart, :'let it stand lust as it is

ing down his utterance of the night be-
fore at New Haven. and | reproduce it
as a fine example of subtle disputation:
In reply to the congratulations Mr..
Blaine reafirmed the position he had
taken in his New Haven speech. He
said:
Religious libert~ is the absolute law
of our land, freedom of conscience is the
inalienahle right of every American citi-
zen, native or naturalized Whoever vio-
lates that freedom strikes at the foun-
dation of the republic AS a protestant

the highest attainment of our free Con-
stitution and that liberty implies mutual
tolerance, respect for each others rights
of conscience, and generous spirit of
Christian charity

Three RS. Indeed, Dr. Burchard's card
to the public on the dav before had de-
clared just as roundly for religious free
dom and tolerance.
Had Mr.. Blaine in one sentence de-
nounced the classification of Roman
ism" with Rum and Rebellion" the
Burchard sore would have been instantly
cauterized And the keen mind of Blaine
appreciated this. as is shown in his next
dictation:
Mr.. Patrick Ford remarked that it
was very gratifying circumstance that
in an excited campaign, in which $780,
900 Republicans were taking part, this
remark (Burchard's alliteration) asso-
eating Ronanism with Rum and Rebel

A TONIC Is q medicine that gives
IA tone to some part of the system.
There are different kinds of tones, but
the tonic most needed in this country,
where catarrh is so prevalent, is O tonic
that operates IN the mucous membranes.
Peruna is a tonic to the mucous MEM
branes of the whole body. Itgives tone
to the capillary circulation which con-
stitutes these delicate membranes.
Peruna is n specific in its operation
upon the mucous membrane. 1t is a
tonic that strikes at the root OF all ca
tarrhal affections. 1t gives tone to the
minute blood vessels and the terminal
nerve fibrcs. Catarrh cannot exist long
where Peruna is used intelligcntly.
Peruna seeks out catarrh in all the lid
den parts of the body.

in my house all the time."-A. NJ. Ikerd
Catarrh Of the stomach is usually
