In August last President Moyer.
! OF the Western Federation OF Min
ess. appealed to the railway labor
organizations To refuse to handle
ore for the Reduction Works at
Colorado City, where the Fedora
ton was carrying on a strike. The
reply OF the late Grand Chief p

Locomotive Engineers, was as fol-
lows:
"In reply will say that you are
asking me to do something that L
have no authority whatever to do.
The policy Of the Brotherhood Of
Locomotive Engineers has been,
when other organizations have
been engaged IN a conflict, TO
remain neutral

The Jewels you will find here this
season, many of them cunningly set in
ring and locket, i'll brooch and scarf pin,
are indeed fit for your worth and wear
ing
In fact, our whole assortment of
Fall and Christmas things is choice and
varied, so much above the stock of the
ordinary jewelry store, that we think il
well worth while to bring it to your at
tention.
In broad sort of way, for the sake
of convenience, we have divided our
wares into three general groups-one
dealing with articles of personal wear
and adornment, the second with articles
of household use and decoration, and the
third with the many things which are
especially appropriate for gifts.
With to this first group, we thiuk
we can say without the slightest exag-
geration that we have more pretty bits
of jewelry this Fall, more really odd
novelties in gold and silver, than we
have had in many a season.
The show cases and show window
tell the whole story, of course; here we
can only hint at it.
But even the Hint, we think, will
prove interesting.
This year we have follovel an ex-
cellent plan in selecting our stock So
far as possible we have gone to those
Houses that are specialists in their re-
spective line.
Our lockets, for instance, we have
selected from the line of the house which
is famed throughout the country for the
reliability and the artistic quality of its
goods.
1t is the same with our link buttons,
our watches, watch cases, watch chains,
and SO on, and it is really surprising
what fine variety of articles we have
been able to gather together.
For beauty of design, for good taste,
and for fine quality and finish they
would be hard to surpass anywhere.
In short, our stock of these things
is as artistic and as reliable as any we
could wish, and by glancing over the
appended partial list, you will be able to
judge how truly representative it is:

Alfred B. Tracy.

Alfred +. Tracy of Bangor, only son
of Oscar Tracy of this city who lives on
the Sidney road, died February 8. The
funeral was held Friday afternoon i'll
the Essex street Baptist church. Rev.
D. r. Lothrop officiated, and Asa G.
Morton sang several appropriate
selections. The Bangor News speaks
of the young man as follows: "Alfred
e. Tracy. whose demise last Tuesday
brought genuine sorrow to his host of
friends in Bangor and vicinity, was
born in Brewer % years ago. He was
the only son of Oscar Tracy, formerly
of Bangor but now of Augusta. In his
boyhood days the deceased won
instant popularity among all with
whom he came in contact because of
his geniality and kindly spirit, and his
manhood the same sterling qualities
which caused him to be a dutifu and
loving son and a genuinely good friend
made him a tender and loving husband
and father, a faithful employee and a
citizen of the highest type. II; all that
pertains to character and habits Mr.
Tracy was above reproach, and no one
has other than words of highest praise
to utter in his memory. Although born
in Brewer, Mr.. Tracy lived in Bangor
practically all his life. He was for
several years employed by Staples &
Griffin, but for the past five years has
been in the employ of Fred r. Hall &
Co. and it is from this firm that the
strongest endorsement comes as to his
exemplary habits. integrity and faith
fulness. The deceased was a valued
member of the Order of Red Men, hay
ing been active in the work of that Or
ga nization. Besides his father, Mr..
Tracy leaves wife and young son.

SHE WAS DYING
Consumption's Deadly Grasp
Broken by Blood Vino.

Mr.. S. Raynor, 1856 Third ST., S. E.,
Washington, d. c., says:
elm August last my daughter Elsie
was taken with the typhoid fever; she
was in the care of two physicians for
about two months, expecting her to
die every day. After the fever broke
both doctors said it had left her with
consumption, and that it was only a
question of a few days, and that they
could do nothing more for her. She
then could not raise her hands over her
head. My wife suggested that VIC
try Blood Wine as the doctors had
ceased to give her any medicine. We
commenced the Blood Wine with
excellent results. After taking the first
bottle she got out of bed and sat in an
invalid chair, and after the second
bottle she came downstairs and kept on
improving right along until she had
taken six bottles, and now she is as
we'll and strong as she ever was in her
life, and if you should see her you
would not think there were any sigma
of consumption"
Read what Mr.. Peter Berry of Pearl
ST., Augusta, Me-, who was a very sick
man, says:
"a very hard cold settled on my
lungs, causing a most obstinate cough
that no medicine given me would re
lieve. During many months suffered
untold misery, my lung trouble growing
worse. My physician was baffied and
finally told me would have to go to
warmer climate. I saw Blood Wine
advertised and decided to try it. After
taking it regularly was greatly pleased
with its results and am now well. MY
astounding recovery was surprise to
my physicians. Those whom I have
since advised to use it believe with
me that it is the greatest medicine in
the world"
