II the Bell Telephone company sue
ceeds in securing 1000 additional resi-
dence telephone subscribers at an aver
age of $3.50 per month, or $50 year,
the proposed reduction of 81 on resi-
dence telephones will be a very profita-
bic investment. On the one side the
income of the telephone company would
shrink S29,772 year on the 2,4S1 sub
scribers on their list and on the other
side the new subscribers would add
$4,000 year to the revenue Of the
company, which would be about 100000
more than the company earns under
the present rates That will more than
pay the cost of installation, royalty and
service the first year and give an addi-
ton to it's regular income Of more than
$4,000 a year thereafter. In that case
the 81 reduction on residence telephones
would not be losing venture after all.

No noticeable scramble has yet en-

Closing the public schools to let the

Eastern democratic newspapers object
to Judge Parker's promise to attempt

A novel proposition has been laid before
the postmaster general. involving an en-
tireiy new scheme for Transporting the
United States mails. The element Of nov
city is almost too great to make the plan
feasible. and II is doubtful II the matter
VIII be given serious consideration. The
scheme was concocted by New York man,
who proposes 10 utilize the trolley for
transporting mail bags over the praIries OF
the west and In the cities OF the east. He
wants to construct string OF poles over a
proposed post route, connect them with
wires from which mail bags will be sus-
pended. Electricity will be furnished as
the motive power. The scheme IL modelled
after the plan OF sending money to the
cashiers desk in some OF the big depart
ment stores The inventor claims that 1t
can be used in the cities as well as in the
open country.

FLORENCE MAVERICK
MAY NOT LAND HERE.
Acting Commissioner of Immigra tior
Holds That Under Law Convicted
AEen Must Be Sent Back.

New York, Aug. 16.-There is a pos
sibility that Mrs. Florence Maybrick, re-
Gently released from a British prison
and now on her way across the Atlantic
may not be allowed to land when she
reaches New York, but may be sent
back.
Assistant Commissioner Of Immigra-
ton Joseph Murray, who is acting com
missioner in Commissioner Williams alb
isence, says that, as things stand at pres
ent he should. unless otherwise instruct
ed, be disposed to refuse her permission
to land here.
He bases his attitude on section of
the immigration laws which forbids adj
mission to the United States to aliens
who have been convicted of felony OF
other infamous crime or misdemeanor in
volving moral turpitude.
He holds that Mrs. May brick, although
she was born in America, became a Brit
ish subject when she married an Eng
lishman, and that there never has been
amy official act since then to show that
she is to be regarded as an American
citizen.

Taking Cold.

How careful we ought to be to prevent
taking cold and how anxious we ought to
be to get rid Of it, is a matter for serious
reflection.
Colds may be contracted by temporary
exposure, such as sitting in a draft, wear
ing insufficient clothing, insufficiently pro-
tected feet, going from a warm room into
a cold one, slight exposure while perspir-
ing, getting feet wet The trouble may
manifest itself in any part Of the body,
but generally affects the head.
The symptoms Of cold in the head are
too well known to need description, as
few Of us have not experienced them, such
as a disagreeable feeling i'll the nose Ga
burning or prickly sensation), a fullness
in the head, sneeZing, a partial f not
complete stoppage of the nasal tract.
frontal headache, deafness, ringing in the
ears, and temporary loss Of the sense of
taste and smell.
The principal diseases arising from TAX
ing cold are pneumonia, consumption,
chronic catarrh, and are as a rule brought
on by inhaling the disease germs into the
head, where they lodge until a cold is
contracted the mucous membrane then
becomes a splendid field to propagate the
germ, and consequently the disease has
its foothoid. TO prevent this has been
the study of Mr.. S. II. Meadows, q drug
glst of Milwaukee, since 1882, who has
SlNGu HuCu lIAlC anu ullcUllOQ III DroO2r-
ing scientific combination of antiseptic
and Germicidal drugs which, applied to
the nasal tract each day will keep the mr-
cous membrane Of the nose in a perfectly
healthy condition. thereby preventing the
development of the disease germ, if not
killing it outright. This preparation also
has a remarkable effect on the diseased
mucous membrane OF the nose and head.
1t permeates and penetrates the air pass
ages, causing them to regain their normal
condition within short time The sue
cess Of this preparation has been so
marked as TO attract the attention Of
some Of our leading physicians, who not
only endorse it, but are using it them
selves as a prophylactic and giving it to
their patients.
We congratulate Mr.. Meadows on his
success i'll procuring this wonderful com
bination, which cannot help but prove
henefl 10 mauliud.- Chnrcb Times

by all classes of business. During the
night many trains came in with posts
and delegations and early in the day,
when the crowded specials from points
within 100 miles of Boston began to ar
rive, traffic at both the big terminals be-
rame choked. The people damned the
train sheds and terminals and then
spreading out, began to fill the sidewalk
space along the line eff march. There
was a prospect of warmer conditions as
the day should grow, but the clear skies
and bright sun cheered alike the hearts
Of veteran and spectator.

those on the Boston Common. Arrange
ments had been made for veterans who
