While figures have been floating

eyerso little say that the estimated cost
of S135, 100000 for the construction OF
the canal might as well be $4,000 SO
far as being anywhere accurate is con-

highest officials until recently con-
nected with the Panama Commission
admitted that neither he nor anybody
else knew anything whatever about the
ultimate cost of the completed Panama
Canal. All the figures have been
based on the French estimates
which are declared to be entirely I'M
reliable and the American engineers
have not nearly completed even the
surveys. This talk of insurmountable

Smiling and Happy Little Faces.
The camp overlooks the picturesque
gorge of Rock Creek Park, and the air
is always pure and fresh. But best of
all are the happy smiles of content

have never before known such happi-

For rainy days an old Maryland
barn served as a splendid play house.
In this, Sunday services were held and
sometimes during the week amateur
theatricals were given for the amuse-

Not Used to Nature.
1t was related that some of the child

they term it, and the intense stiffness

when the silence is only broken by the
occasional cry of a night bird and the
chipping of crickets. The contrast be-
tween the noises of the night in town
and the stiffness of the after daylight
hours in the country is so great that it
is awesome at first, but soon wears
away, and the children grow to APP
preciate the quietness and balm Of ma
ture in the suburban night.

RIGHT TIME TO CURE CATIRRH
r. E. Bryan Guarantees Hyomei vii
Cure IL Used Now.

The early summer when the weather
becomes warm and settled, is the best
time OF the whole year to treat catarrhal
troubles with the expectation Of complete
and lasting relief.
Everyone who has catarrh, or even a
tendency to catarrh, should use Hyomei
now, for the benefit will be gained twice
as quickly and the disease thoroughly
eradicated from the system.
The complete Hyomei outfit costs but
one dollar, and includes neat pocket
inhaler, medicine dropper and sufficient
Hyomei for several weeks treatment. The
inhaler lasts a lifetime, and if more Hyo-
mel is needed, extra bottles can be OBJ
tanned for so cents.
In Randolph there are scores Of we'll
known people who have been cured Of
catarrh by Hyomei. II 1t does not cure
you, F. f. Bryan will return your money.
This is the strongest evidence he can offer
as to his faith IN the remedy. 25-s

Passing Of an Honored Citizen.

In the death of Benjamin T. Lombard,
at O'Clock Friday afternoon, Randolph
lost citizen who was justly held in the
highest esteem -one whose righteousness
OF purpose and integrity OF character
were manifest In all the relations of life
and Of whom it can be truly said that a
good man has gone u his reward.
For three years Mr.. Lomb bard had been
in declining health, suffering from a
disease of the tissues of the brain with
repeated hemorrhages whose attacks left
him in more and more enfeebled con-
dition. March 9Th, serious hemorrhage
occurred which Frustrated him utterly
and, though he rallied physically so as 20
be up and even TO sit out Of doors occa-
sionally, il could be seen that be was
sadly shattered and that the end was not
far off. He continued to fail steadily hut
it was not until Saturday, the 18th inst,
that he finally took to his bed to linger
vet a little longer before closing his eyes
forever on earthly scenes.
He was born in Weathersfield, Windsor
county, in 1881. the son of Nahum and
Elizabeth (TuelD Lombard. and received
his education in the Springfield Wesleyan
seminary. In 1857 he engaged in the
mercantile business in Springfield, Mass,
with c. X. Labaree and Horace Thompson,
Nho afterwards removed to Bellows Falls,
while Mr.. Lombard came to Randolph
in 1862 to open dry goods store in the
Jason French building on the present site
of w. f.. Lamsons store
He continued as a merchant here until
1915, when he sold out to A. A. Smith and
bought a house and several acres OF land
on South Main street. He devoted him
self to the cultivation of his land for
four years and then entered the employ
OF A. w. Tewksbury q Sons as salesman,
with them until he became
treasurer of the Randolph Savings bank
in January, 1889. He held the position
OF treasurer until the bank was closed IN
1900, when he retired from business with
prohity unimpeached by the misfortunes
OF the bank, the most OF whose invest
ments had been so wisely made that il
was able to nav depositors IS cents on
the dollar besides cefraying the heavy
expenses of a long receivership. Civic
honors were bestowed upon him in the
election to various town and village
offices and in 1857 he represented Ran
dolph in the legislature.

HANNAH ELIAS
TELLS HER STORY.
Dramatic Recital of Negress'
Curious Career.
RELATIONS WITH PLATT
Lived a Life Of Degradation, Was in
Prison, and Was Married and
Divorced.

NEW YORK, Jan. 19.-For the first
time since the murder OF Andrew H
Green brought her name prominently
before the public. Mrs. Hannah Elias
yesterday told the story of her life, of
her meeting with John r. Plat, the
old millionaire, and of the events which
led up to his present action to recover
$685. 600, which he says she eXtorted from
him.
The story was told on the witness
stand in the supreme court before JUS
tice O'Gorman- Probably no more re-
nlarkable a narrative ever had been
heard in a court of law in this country.
For two hours the recital flowed from
the womans lips, interrupted only by
questions of counsel The story began
with the time when a little negress,
the daughter of hard-working but poor
parents in Philadelphia, was sent at
fourteen to be a servant in the home Of
a wealthy family.
The picture of wealth and ease the
young girl saw in the home in which
she worked impressed itself on her
mind. Although handicapped by condi-
ton and color from equal position, the
girl determined her life would not be
one of drudgery, and she had not been
in her first position three months be-
fore she made an attempt at emulating
the manners and dress of her employ

prOvements to dwellings, and the
grounds surrounding them, far ex-
cecdinE the usual preparations which
are made every fall to keep out the
chill blasts of winter In all parts of
the city, there are residences where
fresh paint and new shingles are
prominent, while in some places, trees
which have long married the landscape
are being cut down. 1t is also the
season for fall house cleaning, which
occupation is keeping the housekeep-

There seems, too. more energy than
usual expended in freeing the lawns
from fallen leaves and a pleasing APP
