Evidence of Wealth.

That wealth is one of the most
comparative of terms, those in mod
crate circumstances often being con-
sidered erich" by persons of less
means, was aptly illustrated by an
old colored nanny" in East Balti-
more several days ago. She rad
been doing the laundry work OF a
certain family for quite awhile, but
deciding to leave the neighborhood
she had come to tell them that she
would no longer be able to perform
these duties. The lady of the house,
wishing to secure another good
washerwoman, inquired of the faith
full "mammy" as to the reliability
of another col9red woman who she
happened to know lived next door
to her,
'Law, missus," replied the old
darby, "dat woman doan' do no
washin'! She's rich, she is. She's

ANCIENT IRISH FORTS.
They Arc Remnants of tho Age Of Cy'
cjopean Masonry,


Off the coast of Ireland, north,
west and south, lies island behind
! island. Few know them, and still
fewer realize the wealth of anti
quarian remains which have lain
hidden there for more than thou
sand years. First in interest, as in
age, come the defensive works of
uncertain date, beginning in the
fourth century B. &. Of these the
promontory forts are the simplest in
construction, being defended, often
on three sides, by the high cliffs to-
ward the sea, necessitating only a
single line of defense on the land
ward side. They belong to an age
of cyclopean masonry, whom the
stones were piled together, one
above the other, mortarless, but
with a power Of resistance which
yields only to the hand of man.
Some of the forts are constructed
in the well known "ring wall" type
to be found throughout the British
isles, central Europe and in Mashon-
aland.
At FABIAN, near Bentry, the fort
was obviously residential instead of
being merely used, as in many cases,
for a place of short retreat during
the hasty raids Of Danish or earlier
invaders. Hero a asouterram" is
to be found and a careful system of
defense, for the enemy, entering
through the contracted passage, if
he escaped the first attack, found
himself suddenly confronted by a
wall and, the only exit being trap
door, was easily killed by the spear
man above. 1t is rare to find IA
spring of water within the fort.
There was, however, usually q spting
some 2Q0 or 800 yards away.
Situated for the most part on
cliffs or on great hillsides overlook
ing the sea, these coast forts COM
mand a magnificent view. Round
them the sea birds circle, calling.
The huge waves of the Atlantic
sweep up, beating against them in
vain, and afar off the lines Of a
mountainous coast stand out blue in
the softened atmosphere, running
down sheer into the sea, with the
long line of white gray smoke telling
of the burning klein along their base.

Long In Accounts.

Once upon a time there was a
woman who, being married, had her
husband to talk to, and she never
lost an opportunity to give a
lengthy, full and complete account
Of the various things that interested
her.
Her husband had been trained in
to patience and listened quietly to
her accounts of events that did not
in the least interest him, though
she consumed a great amount OF
time with details and repstiIions
that might have caused show of
impatienee on the part OF listener

Careless Conductor.
She was one Of those women with

"Please stop at Thirty-ninth
street." she said to the conductor
as the car whizzed past Thirty-sixth
street.
At the next corner she rose, to be
ready to alight, but the car did not
slow up, the conductor being busy
doing the hospitality of his car to a
chance acquaintance. Before she
could catch his eye and Stop the car
she had gone a block past her des-
tination. She put her foot on the
step, then drew it back and calmly
sat down again. The conductor, his
hand on the bell rope, waited, the
picture of vigilant duty. She gazed
straight ahead and made no sign.
With profane remark he jerked
the rope, and the car moved on.
Two blocks farther she arose and
caught his eye again. This time he
managed to stop at the first corner.
But she apparently changed her
mind and sank comfortably into her
seat, while an appreciative smile
oyerspread the faces of the other
passengers.
At the end of another two blocks
she once more signaled to him to
stop, and, though he was bursting
with wrath, a dozen pairs of eyes
were upon him, and he controlled
himself. The car came to stand
still, but she did not move.

To Revise Boundary of Districts in
Conference.
The annual conference of the Col
ored Reformed Methodist Union Epis-
copal Church is in session at the Cen
trail Church on Mill street Rev. E. r.
Middleton, Bishop of the district, is
presiding over the conference. Dele
gates are in attendance from the va
rious churches connected with this con-
ference.
The work of the conference yester-
day was of a routine nature and the
various committees were announced by
the bishop. Among the most fmpor
tant committees appointed is the COM
mittee to revise the boundary lines of
the various sub-districts in this con-
ference district. A committee was also
appointed to draw up new rules and
regulations to govern the district con-
ference.
The officers of the conference sub
mitted their annual reports showing
in detail the work that had been ac-
complished during the year. The re-

simply offering 1t to the public as the
best emulsion of cod-liver oil in the
market today. And this certainly
as well as other conditions where tha
vitality of the system is lowered. %
Ozomulsion combines cod-liver oil,
hypophosphiteS, glycerine and guaiacol
in the best possible form for the PAL
ate and stomach. 1t is the only emuI-
from process perfected by ourselves
and used only by ourselves. The ingre-
dents of Ozomulsion speak for them-
selves in coughs and colds and all
affections of throat and lungs.
Ozomulsion cures a cold not only by
giving relief to the in1amed mem
branes, but also by enriching the blood
and raising the standard of health. 1t
is useless to Knockout a cold and
leave the system more weakened than
it was before the attack. What Ozo-
mulsion does is to cure the cold and
strengthen the system at the same
time, and we will leave 1t to any ra-
tional human being whether this is not
the best way to treat such conditions
as are found in cases of coughs, colds
and all affections of the throat and

KRUGER REMANDED BY JUSTICE.
Is Charged with Cheating and
SwindIing Cole Brothers.

SwindIing Cole Brothers.
In Justice Wickham's Court, George
w. Kruger was given preliminary
hearing, Thursday. on a charge of
cheating and swindling Cole Bros,
painters. out of $64.
The defendant admitted the debt, but
denied that it was his intention to de-
fraud the compliments. He claimed
he offered to pay them $40, but that
he considered $50 more than the job
which the prosecutors had executed
was worth
The case was the result of a con-
tract made by the firm when Kruger
opened a cigar store at Bryan and
Whitaker streets. He engaged Cole
Bros. to paint the exterior of the store
and to do some interior decorations.
1t is alleged that he told the COM
plainants that he was in business with
Peter Brandt. who operates a cigar
stand in the Board of Trade building
The firm instituted suit against Brandt
and he was acquitted, as it was shown
ne had no connection with Kruger, and
had not authorized the contract.
Justice Wickham fixed the bond in
the case at 5000. which was furnished
by the defendant. The case will come
up in the City Court.

The habit Of taking tonics and specif-
les for coughs and colds is gradually
giving way to better form of treat
ment.
1t has been a common saying, when
persons have taken cold, that they
will knock it OUT with some more
or less powerful drug or stimulant,
and the poor system has had to uh-
dergo for many years the strain of
this knockout process.
There is a much more rational way
to cure cold than by working up the
system to fever heat, making the head
