The Kriss Kross Great Cure for Kid
 ney Trouble.

ney Trouble.
 What originally was intended for an amusement device and upon which Managers Darcy & Speck have spent over $500 has been declared bv several prominent doctors in this city as the only real cure for kidney and liver diseases. For years horse back riding his been deemed the best exercise for those suffering from these ail- ments. Manager Speck was surprised when two ladies inquired of him last week as to the whereabouts of the liv- CT exhilarator. After a little ques- tioning he discovered that they wanted Ito locate the "Kriss .Kross," the ma chine that renovates livers and recon structs kidneys; upon which their doc tor advised them to take daily treat ment. This brought to mind to Man ager Speck that during the past week quite a few invalids had been riding daily upon the Kriss Kross.
 Manager Speclz has an eccentric liver, which frequently gives him trouble, and this was good news to him. He immediately gave his liver two treatments and declared upon his honor that he felt like new man. He intends to move his office to the "Kriss Kross" and get constant treat ment One doctor claims that the pe- culiar motion of the autos in their swift travel around the various circles Egives the body just such shaking up as is needed to stimulate the sluggish action of the liver and kidneys. Darcy & Speck and the inventor, Herman Hill, may live to find them selves lauded as public benefactors in giving both amusement and medical treatment to the world. Already ar- engagements have been made to erect o mammonth Kriss Kross at Coney Island, Atlantic City and the Hippod- rome, London.

For Currency Reform.

Cincinnati, GA feature of the Ohio
bankers annual convention was an
address on Legislation and Progress"
by Myron T. Herrick, ex-governor of
Ohio.
The speaker urged the support Of the
Fowler bill in congress, embodying
the ideas of the special commission Of
the American bankers association,
saying:
"If such law is passed by congress,
we will be provided with q currency
that will respond to the varying needs
of industry-expanding in the fall to
meet the requirement for funds to
move the crops, and contracting as the
tide turns to the reserve cities. The
members of this association can rem
der no more patriotic service to their
country than to strenuously urge on
congress the passage, without further
delay, of the Fowler bill, or similar
measure"

Somersworth, N. H.-During a severe
thunder storm which ragged over this
city and vicinity Tuesday afternoon
Henry Charette, a teamster, was rem
dered unconscious and will probably
die, and Mrs. Herbert w. Johnson, who
lived in Berwick, Me, was instantly
| killed.
Charette was crossing the main
bridge from Berwick to Somersworth
and had arrived at a point about 80
feet from the Somersworth end when
he was hurled from his seat on his
cam by bolt of lightning striking the
vehicle
1t was supposed at first he was dead
but physicians who attended him after
found that he was still living, though
unconscious.
The hair about his right temple and

three miles from Berwick village on
the Center Lebanon road. The family
moving from one house to another on
the same farm and the five children
had gone to the new house, while Mrs.
Johnson remained at the old one to
make some final preparations for leav-

floor of one of the rooms.

Talked ON Reolnrnoltv.

Salem, Mass.-Henry NJ. Whitney
and Hon. John A. Sullivan Wednesday
evening addressed an audience of 200
persons in Ames memorial hall,
Mr.. Whitney and Mr.. Sullivan ar
rived in Salem soon after o'clock and
dined at the Essex house After sup.
per, an impromptu reception was tend
cred in the parlors of the hotel. At
s o'clock they were escorted to Ames
memorial hall, where Alfred w. Put
nam presided, and introduced the
speakers.
Mr.. Whitney received hearty ap.
plause. He spoke on tariff reform,
and of railroads in general, but did
not touch upon the merger of the New
York, New Haven & Hartford and
the Boston and Main railroads. He
first discussed the economic question,
and stated that Massachusetts Is prin-
cipally a manufacturing state, and
that markets must be found for her
products. She cannot depend upon
her soil.
After speaking of the wonderful de-
vOlopnlont OF the Iuuus or Jne west
during the past so years he passed to
the consideration of the great areas
of Canada and said that no one would
dare to say that those lands will not
in the next half century show as Won
derful a development and become as
thickly populated as the areas of the
west The great advantage to Massa-
chusetts is because Of her proximity.
Boston is one of the natural ports
of the commerce of that great area"
he said. IF those lands cannot be
opened to this country it will be dis
astrous day for the mechanics of New
England
Everything is in favor of Massachu-
setts If she can only get the chance OF
reciprocal trade with Canada. If that
tariff wall is ever taken down it will
show what wonderful progress Will
be made by Massachusetts, and other
sections of the country will be sure
to follow in the wake, for the iniquity
of the whole tariff system will be ex-
posed"
Mr.. Sullivan said is was high COM
pliment to the mechanics of Massa-
chusetts that they had by their skill
maintained the supremacy for their
manufactures in the markets of the
country and of the word for the state
labored under many disadvantages
from the nature of her soil.
1T becomes us in Massachusetts to
be alive to the commercial relations
of the country" he said. "The tariff
has opel ated to shut off great mar
kets from us, has prevented Massa-
chusetts from occupying her great
maritime position, and she has lost by
repressive laws. When we consider
the narrow tariff, we should wipe from
the statute book a law which so men
aces our further improvement"

The Hague-The official documents
Of the peace conference have just been
distributed in large yellow envelopes
under seal of the seyerest secrecy to
$50 members of the delegations, be-
sides the secretaries. The documents
contain the text of some of the prop
ositions presented to the conference.
The American proposition presented
by Joseph H. Choate runs as follows:
The private property Of all citizens
Of signatory powers, with the excep-
tion Of contraband of war, shall be
exempt on the high seas or elsewhere
from capture or seizure by the armed
vessels or military forces of said pow
ers. Nothing in this rule implies in
any way the inviolability of vessels
which will attempt to enter port
blockaded by the naval forces of said
powers, nor of the cargo of said YES
sels
The British proposition of the same
date says:
In order to diminish the difficulties
met by the commerce of neutral pow
ers In case of war, the British govern
ment Is ready to abandon the princi-
pie Of cOntraband in case of war be-
tween powers which sign convention
adopting this principle. The right of
search will not be exercised except to
prove the neutral character of com
mercial vessels.
Another proposition submitted by
Great Britain says:
The destruction of a neutral prize by
a country capturing 1t Is prohibited
The country making the capture
should release any neutral vessel
which it cannot bring before the prize
court.
The French proposition is as fol-
lows:
Article l. The contracting powers
agree that hostilities among them can
not begin without advanced and un-
equiVocal notice, having either the
form of declaration of war support
ed by facts or the form of an ultima
tum with conditional declaration of
war.
Article 2. A state of war must be
communicated to neutral powers with
out delay
