Old Land ark Gone.

Fire at Hyde Park late Thursday even
ing destroyed the old brick hotel and
only the stiffness of the night and wet
roofs prevented the wide destruction of
adjoining property.
The flames were first discovered at 10
o'clock and the limited facilities for fire
fighting caused great uneasiness. a
bucket brigade was quickly formed but
could not save the building Aid was
teephoned for to Morrisville and the fire
department from that village was soon
on hand. 1t did good work in saving
nearby buildings.
The old brick hotel. as it was always
known, was occupied on the ground
floor by Keeler's hardware store and
the other floors by the families of
Mr.. Harris and three others. j. F.

An Unsolved Mystery.

Considerable mystery is said to en-
shroud the disappearance of Edwin
Oliver, - years old, of Belgrove drive,
Arlington, n. j., who has been missing
from home since April 90, says the
Observer, printed at Arlington, n. j.
Oliver moved with his family from
Brooklyn to Arlington last year. He
formerly was in the bicycle business in
Park Row, New York. He failed and
took up the promotion of patents, still
making his headquarters in New York.
Recently he met with financial reverses
and become respondent. At times he
talked of going to San Francisco to
retrive his losses, and it is thought may
be in that city.
He was educated at Middlebury Col
lege, Vermont. He went into the news
paper business and was connected with
papers in Troy, New York and Chicago
He contributed many articles signed
with his own name and with the nom
de plume "Revilo" to the newspapers
and sporting magazines. He abandoned
journalism for the bicycle business.
The missing man lived with his wife,
four children and his mother. He is six
feet tall and slim, weighing only 1876
pounds. In the search for him the
family have made inquiries in all the
morgues and all the hospitals and at hun
dreds of other places in New York
Jersey City, Newark and other cities,
He was seen in New York five days after
he had left home.

Forrest Flanders, of Rutland, who was
recently appointed game warden, killed
July 26 two hounds said to belong to
Rutland people. He was on Bald noun
tain, where he saw a large dog chasing
fawn, and the fawn, attempting to jump
between the prongs of a forked tree, was
caught in the notch, and the dog was
proceeding to kill it when the warden
dropped him. Another dog was running
the doe, and soon circled to where the
warden was holding the fawn and the
second dog got his due dose of lead.

Worse Than Death
has been the suferings OF
Mrs. Adam France
of North St, Burlington.

Mrs. France has been gradually los
ing flesh her disease and great suffer
ing has baftled the skill of five physi-
clans, whose names she will gladly give
any one. The first physician she con-
suited said it was neuralgia of the
stomach and bowels and treated her
for the same. After eight months
suffering she was obliged to consult
another physician, who said her
trouble was caused from female weak
ness. The next two physicians that
she consulted nearly agreed that her
disease was liver complaint and ulcer
ated stomach but failed to give her
any relief. The fifth said she was in
consumption and her left lung was
nearly gone and treated her for same,
she found no relief, but Mrs. France
is woman not to give up and believed
if she could find a physician who
understood his business she could be
cured, Reading of the many cures
in the paper effected by DR.. Morrow Of
AZ Church street, Burlington, VT, on
February 9th. she went to his Dispen-
sary and in her turn was ushered into
his private office. After telling the
doctor OF her suffering and what other
doctors had treated her for he smiling
ly said "The cause of your long suffer
ing is tapeworm and l can give you
some medicine that will relieve it in a
few hours. This was good news.
Mrs. France took the medicine home
and took it the next forenoon accord
ing to directions, done her days work
as usual and passed a monstrous tape
worm, head and all, as the doctor had
predicted.
This is the goth tape worm that DR..
Morrow has removed in the last nine
months. Mrs. France is over joyed
with the doctors treatment and says
she is glad that she has found a physi-
clan that knows the difference between
neuralgia of the stomach, female dis
ease, consumption and tape worm.
Mrs. France will be pleased to answer
any questions in regard to her case
and this worm with others can be seen
at the doctors Office any time on
office days: Mondays, Wednesdays
and Saturdays. If you cannot call in
person, send for a question blank,

Curious Features Of Life.

Julius Spears, of Saline County, aged
twenty years, has just been restored
to his relatives, after having been sep
arated from them ever since he "a
three years old, and having never, as
far as he can remember, heard Of
them. Young Spears parents lived in
Illinois.
One night Willard Spears, the father,
disappeared, taking his youngest child,
Julius, with him. He went to Arkan-
sas, and later came to Missouri, 10.
eating neal Camden. The father died
several years ago, leaving his son with
out any knowledge whatever of his
family connections. While in Bed
ford, ILL.,, a short time ago, a man from
Marshall met a family named Spears.
Conversation revealed that they were
relatives of Julius Spears; and the old
mother has recently had restored to
her the son whom she thought she had
lost forever.-Kansas City Journal.

steal prowess and admiration for the
body beautiful. Of course, we are a
long way from this yet. Fancy our
hollow chested, pigeon toed women,
with their square hips and hour glass
waists dressed as the Greeks used to
dress. Fancy u average business
man with his protuberant paunch and
skinny arms posing as a Greek hero.
Sad as this thought is, there is room
for encouragement. Our people, both
men and women, are improving in
size, figure and carriage, and will con-
tinue to improve. Whether the general
Intelligence and mental development
will ever reach as high an average
among US as it did among the Athen-
ians is quite another question.-Dr.

Taffeta Still in Favor.

Black taffeta costumes, it was said
in the early spring, and it was thought
by the best authorities, would not be
fashionable during the summer, as
they were to be bought ready made at
so many of the large department shops.
Yet there has been a succession Of the
most charming designs furnished for
black taffeta gowns, and these have
been made up in large numbers for
women who know how to dress well.
The skirts are trimmed with tucks
or folds of the taffeta, with bands of
embroidery or lace ruchings. The
waists are tucked or pleated, and have
white lace yokes and bands overlaid
with embroidery or lace. Shirrings
and cordings, such as were the delight
Of olden times, are most fashionable,

Negligee With Round Yoke.


Tasteful negligees are among the de-
sirable things Of life of which no wom-
an ever yet had too many. This one
is graceful, becoming and simple, with
al, and can be made from a variety Of
materials. The round yoke, extended
we'll over the shoulders, gives the
broad line Of fashion and the pointed
sleeves take the long lines and folds
that always are desirable. The model
is made Of white batiste, with the
yoke of all over Valenciennes lace,
banded with narrow folds of the mate
rial and the sleeves edged with lace in
sertion, but the design will be found
admirable for soft silks and wool fab
RIGS as well as for washable ones.
The negligee is made with full fronts
and back, that are Joined to the yoke,
and wide, full sleeves. AS illustrated,
it is closed by means of ties Of ribbon,
but buttons and buttonholes can be
substituted if preferred.
The quantity of material required for
the medium size is four and three

Faces That Comfort One.

II wish some people knew just how
much their faces can comfort one!!" The
speaker was a young woman who had
passed through deep sorrows; she was. tell.
ing a friend how many people comforted
her, though they were unconscious of it..
The Epworth Herald tells the story. IL
often ride down in the same street car
with your father, and it has been such a
help to me to sit next to him. There is
something SO good and strong and kind
about him, it has been a comfort just to
feel he was beside me. Sometimes, when
| have been utterly depressed and dis
c%ouraged, he has seemed somehow to
know just the right word to say to me;
but, if he didn't talk, why 1 just looked
at his face, and that helped me. He prob
ably has not the least idea of it, for I
know him so slightly, and I don't suppose
people half realize, anyway, how much
they are helping or hindering others!"
There is a great deal of this unconscious
kindness in the world. Moses visit not
that his face shone. The best people are
not aware of their goodness. According
to the old legend, it was only when it fell
behind him, where he could not see it;
that the sanity mans shadow healed the
sick. This is a parable. Goodness that is
aware of itself has lost much CT its charm.
Kindnesses that are done unconsciously
mean the most.

The waist consists Of the fitted lin

means of shoulder and under-arm

are wide and full below the elbows, but

Journalism and Business Morola.

u III EnoASS
1t may be said that nothing has done
more to lift the moral tone of business
than the healthful criticism Of the
press. Twenty years ago the state OF
financial journalism-not merely the
purely financial press, but also that
portion of the daily press devoted to
fnance-was not extremely good. Such
Journalism was marked by much ig-
norance, with, unfortunately, at least
some dishonesty. Apart from this, the
theory upon which it was mainly
based was not sound. The people who
made most of the financial news
seemed to think that they were entit-
led to control, III large measure, its
publication, both as to matter, time
and manner. Even at this day it is
difficult to convince some otherwise
highly intelligent bankers, directors
and managers that the public has q
right to knowledge. A case occurred
within a month that illustrates very
we'll the point of view obtaining in
some circles of the financial communi-
ty. A certain corporation undertook
to make an issue Of securities. This
fact was developed in public. A fnan-
cial writer called on one of the direc-
tors, showed him the news as pub
lished, and asked if it were true.
YES" said the director, 1T is true,
but it is pretty hard that two or three
gentlemen cannot discuss their private
affairs without a reporter breaking
in."-The Worlds Work.
