Others Hit on the Fire Station.

Mr.. Editor: Notice some that have
a reputation at stake in the fire station
have defended themselves in your paper.
SO ask you to kindly allow me word
in regard to the mortar. / sold Mr..
Bugbee the lime for the fire station.
1t was the Roekland, Me-, lime. This
i enough to say to any one who knows
the goods. TO those that do not, will
say that this company manufactures
more lime than any two concerns in
New England, and is used mostly in the
large cities along the coast, and has been
in the market for the last 100 years.

FIRE IN RUBBISH HEAP.
Someone Applied Match and Then Rang
in Fire Alarm.

Someone touched match TO a pile
of rubbish and railroad ties in the rear
Of A. Buzzi's house, Az Granite street,
at nine o'clock last evening and then
pulled in an alarm from box Is. The
entire department responded, including
l..e chemical, hook and ladder truck and
the call men. Those who got there first
soused the flames with few pals Of
water No damage was done. 1t Is
thought that the fire was the work of
some small boys who were seen about
the place d short time before.
The call men OF the department are
notified that from four o'clock this af-
ternoon, the alarms, ii there are any,
will be sounded by the whistle at Me-
Donald, Cutler & Cos shed. This is
done because the whistle to Jones Bros
will be out of commission while the

A LOUD CRY FOR RELIEF.
Monopolistie Concerns Hit by Dis
elimination Set Up a
Big Howl.

One of many oppressive features of the
so-called Dingley tariff-so called in
spite of the fact that it is not the tariff
that Nelson Dingley intended to stand
unchanged for more than a few months
is the duty on hides. 1t is g%rievously
~ourdensome to one of our great indus
tries, and is helpful only to the malodor-
GUS beef combine, says the Washington
Post. We will not assert that it was i'm
posed at the instance of that combine,
in recognition of campaign contribu-
tons, for we have no positive proof of
such a transaction. but there is a good
deal of circumstantial evidence in sup
port of that widely prevalent belief.
The New England Shoe and Leather
association appears to have no doubt
that such was its origin. At its annual
meeting in Boston, on the 18th instant,
that association freed its mind on this
question, shouting to congress, with
leather lungs, az it were, for prompt and
greatly needed relief. The preamble
adopted tells the story of the birth of the
affliction. Then comes the resolution.
'lnasmuch," it says, 'as the duty bene-
fits only the beef trust-a monopoly
and foreign users of American-tanned
leather, while it imposes grievous and
~unbearable burdens upon our own leath-
er and shoe industry, the greatest and
most important industry in Massachus-
etts and in New England, we demand of
congres, on behalf of our tanners, cur
riers, shoe manufacturers, shoe mend
ers, harness and saddlery makers, trunk,
bag, hose, and belt manufacturers, job
bers, wholesalers and retailers the capt.
tai which they use the workmen whom
they employ. and also on behalf of the
consumers Of leather in any and every
form, the immediate repeal of the Is per
cent. duty on hides
That is sufficiently explicit, and is by
no means lacking in emphasis. Indeed,
it is a fine example of terse, clear and
comprehensive expression. Nor is the
grievance confined to New England. st.
Louis is rapidly becoming the successful
rival of Boston in the shoe industry, and
shoe factories are doing a large business
in various cities of the old northwest.
We have a suspicion that none of these
concerns is particularly DESTROYS Of a
continuance of the tax they are com
PEELED to pay for the benefit of the beef
trust. There is, however, no possible
chance of relief at the hands of the fifty
eighth congress. 1t has neither time o
inclination to do anything toward re-
pairing any of the glazing defects of tar
if schedules that are robbing other in
dustries and %plundering the masses in
the interest of audacious, o~verbearsng
monopolistic combines. The leaders in
congress seem determined to exhaust
the patience of a long-suffering country,
and, unfortunately, there is 40 opposi-
ton party.

Apropos of the suits for damages that
are continually being brought against rail

Tribune. President Francis, of the st.

MANY of these suits, of course, are
mere cases of unjust extortion. 1t isn't
often, though, that the victim of an ac-
cident is as alert and resoureeful as a man
of whom | heard the other day.

but the car soon came to a stop. lie ex-
amined himself all over carefully, and
found that he was quite unframed. Then
he thought in the same breath of damages

IT IS IN THE BLOOD
Neither Liniments nor 0intments
Will Reach Administration
Mr.. Stephenson Was Cured.

People with inflamed and aching
joints, or painful muscles ; people who
shuttle about with the aid of a cane or o
crutch and cry, Oh ! at every slight jar,
are constantly asking, "What is the best
thing for rheumatism?
To attempt to cure rheumatism by ex.
ternal applications is a foolish waste of
time. The seat of the disease is in the
blood, and while the sufferer is rubbing
lotions and grease on the skin the poison
in the circulation is increasing.
Delaysin adopting asensible treatment
are dangerous because rheumatism may
at any momentreach the heart and prove
fatal. The only safe course for rheumatic
sufferers is to get the best possible blood
remedy at once.
Mr.. Stephenson's experience with this
obstinate and distressing affection is
that of hundreds. He says:
"Abort a year ago I was attacked by
severe rheumatic pains in my left
shoulder. The pains were worse in wet
weather, and at these periods caused me
the greatest suffering. l tried a number
of treatments and ointments, but they
failed to alleviate the pains"
Then he realized that the cause mus
be deeper and the pain only a surface III
dication. He adds:
81 had heard DR.. Williams Pink Pills
for Pale People recommended as q cur
for rheumatism, and when I found that
I was getting no relief from applications,
1 made up my mind that I would try
them. Before the first box was gone ]
noticed that the pains were becoming
less frequent, and that they We're not SO
sever as before. After the second box
had been used up I was entirely free
from discomfort, and I have had no traces
of rheumatism SINCE"
The change in treatment proved by
almost immediate results that Mr..
Thomas Stephenson, who lives at No.11l
Greenwood street, Springfield, Mass,
had found the true means for the purifi
cation and enrichment of his blood.
DR., Williams Pink Pills are without
doubt the best of all blood remedies.
They effect genuine and lasting cures in
rheumatism. They do not merely deaden
the ache, but they expel the poison from
the blood. These pills are sold by all
druggists.

Everybody" said the bad boy, az
he pinned his trousers leg together
with a safety pin. There they go now

Hurry up and tell me about your

as he brushed off the bad boys clothes
with an old backing brush.
We'll, dad said he had never taken
a ride in one of the devil wagons,
though he had got a good deal Of ex-

them on the streets, but he said he
was tickled to death to hear that
was an expert performer, and he
would go out with me, and if he liked
the sensation, he would buy n The
machine l hired was one of those
doublets for two persons, one seat. you
know, a runabout. 1t was a runabout
all right. 1t run about is miles in
Is minutes. I got dad tucked in, and
touched her on a raw spot, and we
were off. I run her around town for
awhile on the streets that had no
teams on, and dad was pleased. He
said:
"'Hennery. I like a boy that knows
something about machinery, and who
knows what dingus to touch to make
his machine do a certain thing, and
| am proud of you
"We had to go through the business
part of town, and dad looked around
at the people on the streets that he
knew, and he swelled up and tried to
look as though he owned a brewery,
and told me to let her out, and l
thought if dad could stand it to let
her out l could, so l pulled her open
just as one of these station fruit ven
ders with a hand cart was crossing the
street. The cow-catcher in front
caught the hand cart right in the mid
die and threw it into the air, and it
rained bananas and oranges, and the
dago came down on his head and
wore in Italian, and dad said: Good
shot, Hennery,' and then the machine
swung across the street and knocked
the fender off a street car. and then
| got her in the road straight and, by
gosh, / couldn't stop her. Something
had got balled up, and the more I
touched things the faster she went.
We frightened four teams and had
three runaways, and the air seemed
full of horses rearing up and drivers
yelling for us to stop. One farmer
with a load Of hay would not give any
of the road, and I guess his hay came
in contact with the gasoline tank, for
the hay took fire, his team ran away,
and as we went over the hill I looked
back and saw a fire engine trying to
catch up with the red-hot load of hay.
and the farmer had grabbed hold of a
wire sign across the street and let the
wagon run out from under him, and
they had to take him down with a fire
ladder.
I'VE kept going faster, and dad be-
gan to get frightened and asked me
to slow up, but I couldn't. We must
have got in the country about eight
miles, and dad was getting scared, and
