A Dead Letter and a Lively One.

The world is never tired of anec-
dotes which bring out the play of

preacher had the faculty Of extracting
amusement for himself and others
from the most commonplace occur
rences. The postmaster of Brooklyn
informed him that one of his letters
had been returned from the dead-let
ter office. and this is the way the af
fair struck Beecher:
October %, 1880.
Colonel McLeer:

Dear Sirs-I have had occasion to use

Yours very truly. w. M. Lord.
1t will be noticed that the governor
says he has not had occasion to use Pc
runa for other ailments. The reason
for this is, most other ailments begin
with a cold. Using Peruna to prompt
ly cure colds, he protects his family
from other ailments. This is exactly
what every other family in the United
States should do. Keep Peruna in the
house. Use it for coughs, colds, Ia
grippe, and other climatic affections Of

Noah Raby May Have Been Oldest
Man on Earth

A dispatch from New Brunswick N J.,
says: Noah Raby. possibly the oldest man
on earth, died at the Piscataway town
ship poor farm. near New Brunswick,
at $50 o'clock Tuesday morning. His
death had been hourly expected for the
last few days. Raby, if his story is accu-
rate, would have been 1872 years old on
April / next. On each recurring anniyer-
sary of his birth for the last fifteen wears
Raby's life story has appeared generally in
the press.
His story is that he was born at Eaton
town. N. c., on April 1. 1872. His mother
was Morning Raby and his father Henry
Bass. an Indian. He lived in North Caro-
lima until he was twenty-five years of age.
He lived next in Virginia and enlisted in
the United States navy. He served on the
Constitution and the Brandywine and was
honorably discharged in 1902 Then he
came to New Jersey and lived for a while
near Elizabeth, but shortly moved into Pts
Getaway township, where he has since re-
sided. He has been an inmate of the poor
farm for over thirty years.
He had been blind for fifteen years, but
his other faculties were but slightly i'm
paired. His memory was wonderful, and
he took particular delight in telling when
he first saw George Washington on the oc-
casion of a public meeting in Yorktown,
Va. He smoked and chewed tobacco since
he was ten years DID, and at one time was
a heavy drinker. He will be buried at
Springfield, near Elizabeth, on Thursday.

Women Sold for Base Purposes.

A dispatch from Philadelphia last night
says:
Spurred on by the knowledge that the
trade in white slaves is still furnishing In
this city, and that young women emigrants
are not only being led into lives of vice by
villainous men who take advantage of their
ignorance. but are actually being sold like
black slaves were in the south before the
war, Mayor Weaver, Director Smyth and
the police department are preparing to res
cue the unfortunates and to wipe out of eX-
istence the horrible traffic.
The emigrants, young. alone generally
and unable to speak the language Of this
country, are met as they come from the
storage of the ships arriving in New York
by interpreters, who represent themselves
as friends and benefactors. They tell the
woman what a great nation America is
how rich all its inhabitants are and what
high wages are paid for the simplest kind
of manual labor.
Even the prices paid for slaves Is known.
They vary, according to the unfortunate
woman'S beauty, as they used to vary ac-
cording to the negros strength and useful
ness. For some of the slaves, not prepos-
sessing, sums as low as two dollars have
been the price. For others, comedy young
girls 500 has been offered and accepted.

May Call Odell in Trust Inquiry

A dispatch from Albany last night says:
There is strong possibility that Gov.
Odell may be summoned before the grand
jury as witness in the investigation that
is to be made into the details of the ship
building combination. 1t is known that the
governor invested $17S,0O0 in the bonds of
the company. receiving bonus of common
and preferred stock. When the company
was reorganlzed the governor was called
upon to take up his subscription of bonds
in cash, and he did So He has now insti-
tuted suit for the recovery of this money.
1t is understood here that the governor
will be asked as to the truth of the report
that the securities of the company were al
lotted to him in return for the use of his
name, and that the call for cash was I'M
expected.
Should the governor be summoned, it is
probable that subpoenas will also be issued
for Gen. Fraucs V. Greene, Col. Reuben l..
Fox. secretary of the republican state
committee, and others in the interior of the
state, who were. bitten in the formation of
the company. -

Footwear
fOrSprirlg,

The new spring footwear
are perfect dreams OF ele-
gance.
My, what an evolution is
going on in the making OF
shoes. How much daintier
are the styles becoming
how much better do the
shoes fit. Study and careful
workmanship are doing
much for the woman of the
day.
1t is Just at this time of the
year when the ordinary shoe
dealer about town pulls
down his dust-laden boxes of
last springs footwear and
flaunts them before his pa
irons as new styles" Fact
is, styles in ordinary foot
wear seldom change. They
are stereotyped III appear
ance-lack character.
Compare such styles with
Rich's. If you are discrimi-
nate at all in your tastes
YOU will choose ours. If you
admire individuality in foot
wear you must of necessity
choose them, for certainly
Rich's are the only distinc-
tive styles shown in the city.
No attempt will be made
here to describe the different
effects. A visit here-a half
hour spent in looking over
the newest things-the nov
elties-will be we'll spent, and
will help you decide just what
you want in footwear for
walking, riding, golhng and
dress.
