CASE OF OLD DOG TRAY.

A few days ago the state was shock

two inoffensive Russian Jews by a

/. tack on the victims was unproxoked,
and the crime was committed in a
peculiarly horrifyfng manner Now
the murderers' are in jail awaiting
trial, which is almost certain to result
in the hanging offehe one who actually
committed the crime and long term

LET the heavy cross which I am

Annie Gilmer, mother of the eighteen
year-old Denver murderer. II blame
the trouble into which my boy has
plunged entirely to the saloon and the
influence of evil companions"
Here, in few words, is the real
reason for the waywardness of nine

A HAPPY COUPLE.
MT and Mrs Wells of Waterbury Speak Highly of Dr. Richards
 Dyspepsia Tablets.

These tablets are invaluable for men, women and children who have difficult digestion. They cure all stomach disorders and enable you to get from the food you eat the nour- tshment it contains. The little lax ocomfits which accompany the tab lets are mildly laxative and cure con- stipation.
 Mrs. Malinda Wells of 155 East Poem street, Waterbury. Conn. says: My husband and myself have used Dr. Richards Dyspepsia Tablets and we consider them all they are repre- sented to be was completely run down. suffered greatly from acid ity of the stomach and extreme nervousness. l tried everything that came to my notice to get relief Dr. Richards Dyspepsia Tablets were recommended to me. I got a bottle at Apothecaries Hall a short time ago. have taken two bottles with the most satisfactory results I find these tablets of the greatest value as an appetizer and tonic in general debility. They have built up my strength wonderfully in a very short time.

Penalty of Vanity.

Two tadpoles lived in a meadow pool. One tadpole was exceedingly vain and kicked around until he devel- o2ed a pair of pale green legs and arose to the dignity of a frog. The other tadpole was sluggish. Hurry up," said the new frog. Why. you are the slowest thing in all the mead ows. Without legs you will never be noticed" And that is just why I am not raising them replied the slow tadpole. "It doesn't always pay to be noticed" And now the slow tadpole still swims among the rushes while his vain brother has long since been served up on crisp toast.

PROPER WAY TO CLEAN RUGS.
Those of Expensive Material Need
 Most Careful Handling.

Cleaning rugs-especially the an- tique ones that cost hundreds of dol lars, really is science. and house wives possessing any of these much valued floor coverings should remem-. Der it when having their spring cleaning done. The mistake of brush ing with a stiff broom against the grain should never be made, and, if necessary to prevent this, mistresses personally should superintend this work, for going against the weave takes of the silky nap and loosens the threads that bind the material to- gether. Neither should they ever be shaken by one end or in the center to free them from dust and dirt, for this is apt to loosen the weave. Pound ing them with the regulation rattan rug beater makes for destruction and never should be permitted. The only thing know of to take the surface dirt from fine, thin old coverings Is a thorough brushing or whisking with a strong but soft bristle brush. work ing always with the grain. After this partial cleaning a damp cloth can be stroked across the top to give a brightness to the colors. .'
 Once or twice a year genuine old fashioned scrubbing will freshen the colors. But I would suggest that this be done by an experienced person who will do 1t by hand. for modern proc esses often ruin thin fabrics, and once the weave is loosened and the covering begins to come apart the rug is of really little use for any prac- tical wear. Once the dirt is blown out the rest is comparatively easy, for it consists of simple washing-scrub- ping, rather-with cold water and castillo or pure white soap. one that has little lye in its composition, for, although the colors are all the best vegetable dyes in these fine rugs, and should never run, any but pure soap should not be used on them.

Wine Growers Savagely Attack the Leader, Who May Surrender.

Wine Growers Sayagely Attack the
 Leader, Who May Surrender.
 ARGELLIERS, France, June 26.-; Marcelin Albert, the leader of the wine growers movement, appears to have suffered a considerable diminution in influence. His speech here before a big meeting of citizens, in which he de- scribed his interview with Premier Clemenceau at Paris on Sunday, sounded curiously like defense.
 Although he was greeted by cheers from some 5000 people, he frequently was interrupted. The apostle ad- dressed his followers from the roof of house. He related in detail the incl dents of his trip to Paris and his recep- ton by the premier. who received him as a friend and pressed upon him 100 francs to pay his passage back.
 After a stormy discussion lasting more than two hours, during which NJ. Albert was savagely attacked, the del egates decided to continue the strug- gle with unabated vigor. It was fur ther decided to draw up statement setting forth the minimum demands.

 There were about 300 citizens present last evening in the borough court room at the public hearing on the application of the trolley con- pany to change the proposed turnout at Cemetery street to South Main street below Maple. Engineer Hart of the trolley company was present and he said that if the turnout was placed on South Main street there would be no long waits for cars to pass. The cost he said would be a trife greater to place the turnout on South Main street, but that was not considered. Warden Rodenbach stated that while he was personally opposed to granting the application he would not stand in the way of giving it to the trolley company if the citizens so desired. The Rev J. OR. Sheridan, pastor of St Francis church, was opposed to the granting of the application. He took his stand on the ground of public safety, claim ing that with the turnout on South : Main street 1t would be bad place for funeral procession. On closing his remarks he stated that if 1t was placed there it would be death-trap, MT Seifen was the next man to oppose the application. His idea was to have the trolley company lengthen the Bristol switch to Weber's corner and then cars could go down as far ) as Kennedy's corner without any big wait Among the other citizens who opposed the application, were D. P. Mills, John F. Sullivan, Daniel King Joseph Hall, Michael J. Duigan, R. w. Lewis and Richard Burke. Burgess Freeman after reviewing the matter made a motion that the application be denied and 1t was carried.

Antique lace and filet nets are ex- tensively used. being made attractive by the addition of embroidery. This embroidery Is effective on antique lace by going over" certain promi- nent designs in the pattern.

Of these motifs of chrys anthemums. carnations or iive-pointed starlike floral figures are favorites. a,d thread designs are especially good fast now.
