Cincinnati is feeling big because she
is fast growing big. The report of per-
mits issued and of buildings in pro-
cess of erection in twenty-five cities of
the United States, for February, 1905,
as compared with February, 1904, shows
Cincinnati leading with the phenonle-
nal gain Of 453 per cent.--a gain never
before equaled by any city in the coun-
try. In February, 1904, the number
of permits issued in Cincinnati was 205,
with an estimated value Of the, new
buildings placed ait s123,260. In Febru-
airy, 1905, the number of permits was
s13 and the estimated value of new
buildings s6S1,7O5 st. Paul, Minneso-
ia, follows with the large gain Of 800
per cent, and the total net gain over
February, 1904, in the twenty-five cities
was IS per cent.-in itself remarkable
and a destroyer of the sometimes ex-
pressed belief that the crest of pros
perity had been reached last year. and
consequent fall was to be expected.
For February 1904, the total number
of permits issued in the twenty-five
leading cities was 1903, with an esti-
mated value of new buildings placed at
s14,517,065. In February, 1905, the per-
mits numbered 1902 and the estimate
Of values was $225o2,SOs The figures
incontestably demonstrate not only a
remarkable advance in building inter-
ests, but necessary advance in all
other interests, making a great number
of modern buildings necessity. The
opening months Of 1906 give no cause
for feelings of depression.

The St. Petersburg census taken two
years ago showed a population a trifie
over 100000. OF these about one-third
are unable ITO read or write. Four
fifths, roughly speaking, are Catholics
OF the Greek rite; of Jews there are
only Q per cent, and of Roman Catho-
lies only per cent. Of the population,
40 per cent. are peasants and 20 per
cent. housedlolders. There are 250O00
workmen on wages, with Inward Of ST.
900 employers. There are 425 churches
and four state theaters. The principal
manufactures are Gobelin tapestries,
glass, porcelain, surgical instruments,
articles of malachite, embroideries, tex
tiles, leather, paper copper, iron, ma
dhinery, etc. Its health tables show
the lowest mortality of all European
cities. Nearly all it's growth has been
within the last century, but it's pro-
gress has been nothing like that of
many other Continental cities, some
of which more than doubled their pop
ulation with each generation in that
period.

EVERY ONE ASKS HIM
HOW he GOT RID OF his OBSTINATE
MUSCULAR RHEUMATISM.
Mr.. Jones Tells OF the Way by which He
Treated Himself Successfully
When Doctors Failed.

Six physicians, all of them good, one Of
them a specialist, had done their best
for Mr.. Jones at different times during
three years. and still he suffered fear
fully from the tortures of rheumatism.
The rheumatism that had been dor
mant in his system was suddenly
brought to an acute stage by exposure
while he was drawing ice in February,
1901. From that time ON for a period
of more than three years he was a con-
slant sufferer. He tried many kinds of
treatment. but the rheumatism wouldn't
bulge. When regular doctors failed,
and one remedy after another proved
useless, many said: II should think he
would give it up and save his money"
OF his condition at this time, Mr..
Jones says: "My rheumatism started
in my right thigh, but in time it ap-
peared in every muscle of my body. 1
lost the use of my left arm en-
tirely and nearly lost the use of my
right one. My feet were badly affected,
especially the bottoms of the heels.
When my right size was affected there
was swelling, but the left side didn't
swell when the disease settled there.
The internal organs didn't seem to be
involved at all. The trouble was all in
the muscles and the nerves."
Among the few who still encouraged
Mr.. Jones to think that a cure might
yet be found was friend who had rea-
son for great confidence in DIR. Will
liams' Pink Pills, and acting ON her
advice he bought box Of them in Sep
TENDER, 1904. The story Of what fol-
lowed is brief, but nothing could be
more satisfactory.
When 1 was on the third box" says
Mr.. Jones, 81 could realize a change for
the better. I felt sure then that DR..
Williams Pink Pills were the right
medicine for my case. I kept on with
them for several weeks longer and now
1 am entirely well, and everybody is
asking what took"
Mr.. William Jones lives at Oxford,
Mich. DIR. Williams Pink Pills effect
wonderful cures in rheumatism, because
they work directly on the blood which is
the seat of the disease. They are sold
by every druggist.

HINSDALE, N. H.
Special Town Meeting April 29
to Fix the License Fees
Town Narrowly Escaped Large Loss Of
Revenue Through ourk In the Law
New Methodist Pastor.

own Narrowly Escaped Large Loss OF
Revenue Through oulrk In the Law
New Methodist Pastor.
The selectmen have called a special
town meeting for Saturday afternoon, the
29th, at $40 o'clock, to see what action
the town will take toward fixing the fees
for licenses of the different classes, and to
see II the town will authorize the select
men to purchase n new road machine.
Back of the call for this meeting
is the story of a narrow escape of the
town from a serious loss of revenue I'm
connection with the license fees. Will
liam Curran of this village and f. c. Gale
& Co. of North Hinsdale have first and
second class licenses, for which they have
paid S1100. and Holland & Ferrin at
Hotel Ashuetol have a first and third
class license, costing $3.50. 1t was neces-
sary under the law that the town should
vote on the amount of the license fees
this year, but this fact apparently escap-
ed attention until Mr.. Curran recently
made application to the state commits
sioners for a renewal of his licenses.
The commissioners notified the selectmen
that they had received the application
and should reissue licenses. but that the
fee would be $3.50 instead of S1100. as
before. There was just time enough for
the selectmen to call a special town meet
ing, giving the notice required by law.
and to fix the fees according to a vote
this year. The fees will undoubtedly be
voted at the old figures, but had Mr..
Curran delayed a few more days the
loss to the town would have been $3.50,
provided the three present holders get
a renewal of the licenses under which
they are now doing business.
