ing of in traffic the railroads center
ing in Chicago are discharging thou
sands of employees, cutting down the

in every possible direction. 1t is es'
timated that since January l, 1904,
more than $4,000 railroad employees
have been discharged in the United

A huge bonfire of about thousand
square pianos, the kind that were once
the pride of wealthy families through
out the United States, will in all prob
ability be a feature Of the convention
of the National Association Of Piano
Dealers and Manufacturers, at Atlantic
City next week. This destruction Of
most of the square pianos in the pos
session Of dealers IN this country was
suggested by certain firms in Philadel-
phia. They propose it as great OBJ
ject lesson to piano buyers, and an
amusing way of getting rid of what
they term "a lot Of annoying junk.
A member of Philadelphia firm, in
speaking of the affair, explained that
square pianos were practically aban-
doned twenty years ago. Those in ex-
istence, he declared, are thorn in the
side of the dealers.

the sections house, and the sexton was
Mortified to see the face of the girl he
had buried. Three fingers Of her
right hand were missing. She stated
that she had been awakened by feel
ing great pain, and on opening her
eyes saw two men climbing up lad
der from the grave. The top of the
coffin had been smashed in by the men,

and it was the pain they caused that
aroused her from her deathlike trance.

The readers of this paper will be
pleased to learn that there is at least
one dreaded disease that science has
been able to cure in all its stages, and
that is catarrh. Halls Catarrh Cure is
the only positive cure now known to
the medical fraternity. Catarrh being
a constitutional disease, requires a con-
stitutional treatment. Halls Catarrh
Cure is taken internally, acting directly
upon the blood and mucous surfaces OF
the system. thereby destroying the
foundation of the disease, and giving
the patient strength by building up the
constitution and assisting nature in do
ing its work. The proprietors have so
much faith in its curative powers that
they offer One Hundred Dollars for any
case that it fails to cure. Send for list

God never made white man. In

in their wanderings on the earth many
OF them have become bleached. And
in their unnatural pallor many of
these bleached men, all OF whom were
made black at the beginning, now
look with contempt and Indifference
often with prejudice and hate-upon
their brothers, the negroes, who have
retained the color that God gave them. "
