Ipswich, Mass, Feb. 2O.-stories

young English girls who recently
came from Charlottesville, N. G., to

gigantic scheme to import, through

Southern cotton factories under a
practical condition Of servitude. Ian

A Step in the Right Direction.

1t is with a good deal Of pleasure
| we commend to the confidence of our
readers, and especially mothers, Cas-
casweet, the new infants and chill
dren's remedy.
There is, at the present time, an
undoubtedly strong demand for pu-
rity and safety, particularly in the
case Of remedies for children. In
this instance the we'll known firm Of
E. C. Dewitt & Co. has taken the
public in their confidence by printing
on each package Of Cascasweet the
true name of every single ingredient
of the preparation. This will un-
doubtedly strongly commend itself
to physicians and mothers alike.
Mothers can be thoroughly satisfied
in giving this simple, pleasant rene
dy to their children, in knowing that
every ingredient and element is
printed on the package for their in
formation. This enables them to
know what they are giving their lit
tie ones when they administer Casca-
sweet.
The old-time method OF relieving
children's complaints by stupefying or
deadening their sensibility with drugs
to produce artificial sleep, is supersed-
ed by this harmless remedy, and the
advanced position taken by this we'll
known firm in making known the in
gradients of such valuable remedy,
will undoubtedly find number Of
followers within short time.
The greatest care should be exer-
cised in the selection Of a remedy for
the complaints peculiar to children.
The day is past and gone When a
mother was content to administer to
her child the oId-tine soothing syrups
and medicines containing powerful
and harmful drugs to produce artifi-
cial sleep, such as morphine and
opium. and it is with satisfaction that
we note the advanced position taken
by e. G. Dewitt & Co. in not only
emitting from the composition of the
medicine itself any opiate or narcotic,
but in placing in plain English on
each and every bottle the name of
each of its ingredients. Cascasweet
is vegetable corrective of superior
merit as its formula shows it to be-
| Adyt.

DR.. GLADDEN. Does Not Think The
Standard Oil Magnate is Strictly
Honest in His Givings.

Columbus, Ohio, Feb, 16-The Rev
Dr. Washington GLADDEN., pastor Of the
First Congregational church, who led
in the movement to prevent churches
from accepting gifts Of tainted" mon
ey, says that the gift Of $32,00O,000
presented to the general education
board by John D. Rockefeller has the
appearance of an attempt to influence
the courts indirectly in the many
cases now pending against the Stand
ard Oil Company all over the country.
aside from the magnitude of this
gift said DR.. GLADDEN. today, '.in
what light are we expected to regard
it? Is it a benefaction or a restitution!
It happen to be true that the donor
at present is under indictment in many
parts of the country on the charge Of
having extorted vast sums from the
public.
Added to these indictments are the
grave charges of the Interstate Com
merce Commission, covering many
years of the nefarious practice, by
which enormous sums of money have
been wrongfully obtained. # these
charges should be sustained, tae pub
lie would know that large part, at
least, of these millions were plunder.
In that case, the public could not re-
gard this gift of millions as a bepe-
faction, but as an act of restitution.
'1n any case it would have been
more fitting to withhold this transfer
until the truth OF falsity Of these in
indictments could be established in
court. AS the case stands. the trans
action cannot but wear the color Of an
attempt to influence-through public
standardization Of the courts in the
cases now pending. 1t is to be hoped
that this attempt will not be success

There are hundreds Of thousands of

that such people should rise up and speak
their sentiments pretty freely when DR..

attacked.
These grateful patients of DR.. Pierce
are to be found in almost every hamlet

Common gratitude prompts such people
to stand up and defend DR.. Pierce and

and in many foreign lands for more than
forty years and yet their sale continues

Witness Declares It Was No Trouble

That soldiers invariably were able

serted Monday by William Ryan, cor

Ryan was at Brownsville prior to

ammunition to a junk dealer in

numbers on six Krag-Jorgensen rifles;

Progress of Canal Work.
Thirty-nine congressman who have
been inspecting work on the isthmian
canal arrived in New York Saturday
on the steamer Panama. Congress-
man s. c. Smith, of California, said:
1--WE were delighted with all we
saw. They are taking out from 10000
to $1,000 cubic yards Of dirt a day,
with. an average OF about 10000 Gu
bic yards month.
There are now estimated $1,000
600 cubic yards to dig out, so you can
work 1t out for yourself. There are
$4,000 men on the pay roll, Of which
5000 are Americans.
I'VE did not see a single Chinaman
at work on the canal. We found the
telling was against their employment
The only ground of complaint we
found was that possibly the food was
not all that might be desired. This
is, Of course. accounted for by the
great heat.
