scALY ERUPTION ON BODY.

Cured by Cuticura.
"Small sores appeared on each of
my lower limbs and shortly afterwards
they i. became so sore that I ceuld
scarcely walk. The sores began to
heal, but small scaly eruptions ap-
peared. The itching was so severe
that would scratch the sores until the
blood began to flow. After / suffered
thus about ten years made a renewed
effort to effect cure. The eruptions
by this time had appeared on every
part OF my body except my face and
hands. The best doctor in my native
county and many remedies gave no
relief. All this was fruitless Finally
my hair began to fall out and 1 was
rapidly becoming bald. A few months
after, having used almost everything
else, thought would try Cuticura
Ointment and Cuticura Soap. After
using three boxes l was completely
cured, and my hair was restored, after
fourteen years Of suffering and an ex-
penditure of at least $50 or 500 in vain

LYDTA z. PINKHAM

Nature and woman's work COM
bined have produced the grandest
remedy for woman's ills that the
world has ever known.
In the good old fashioned days of
our grandmothers they relied upon
the roots and herbs Of the field to
cure disease and mitigate suffering.
The Indians on our Western
Plains to-day can produce roots and
herbs for every ailment, and euro
diseases that bafde the most skilled
physicians who have spent years In
the study of drugs.
From the roots and herbs of tho
field Lydia e. Pinkham more than
thirty years ago gave to the women
of the world a remedy for their Pc
culiar ills, moro potent and efdca-
cious than any combination Of drugs.
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound is now recognized as the
standard remedy for woman's ills.
Mrs. Bertha Muff, Of b15 NC. st.,
louisiana, Mo-, writes:
complete restoration to health
means so much to me that for the sake,
Of other suffering women Am willing
to make my troubles public.
"For twelve years had been suffer
ing with the worst forms of female ills.
During that time had eleven different
physicians without help. No tongue
can tell what suffered, and ut times I
could hardly walk. About two years
ago wrote Mrs. Pinkham for advice.
/ followee-o, and can truly say that
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com
pound and Mrs. Pinkham's advice re-
stored health and strength. It Is
worth mountains Of gold to suffering
women"
What Lydia e. Pinkham's Vege-
table Compound did for Mrs. Muff
twill do for other suffering women.

GENERAL NEWS GATHERED
ALONG THE RIVER FRONT

The Philadelphia barge Marlin. liking
aboard a cargo Of pulp wood at various
points along the Potomac for two months
or longer is at Somerset Beach and will
probably complete her cargo there. The
Marlin came here with coal in the early
part OF the summer, and after unloading
went down the river to load. AS freights
along the Atlantic seaboard are dull and
the owners of the barge had no business
booked ahead for her. the master of the
barge was instructed to take his time In
loading, so as to keep her in fresh water
as long as possible.
The. Marlin started loading her cargo
at Pohick creek. Taking on Il portion OF
her load there, she went to another point
farther down the river, took on more
wood there and. after making q half dozen
stops, reached Somerset Beach Sunday.
The big Seagoing barge Severn. the
largest vessel of her class ever to load
railway ties OH the Potomac, is at river
point taking aboard such Il cargo for
New York. The Severn about two weeks
ago was taken into OccOquan with the in
tention of bringing her above the railway
bridge to load 4 part Of her cargo, 1t
was found however, that the masts were
too high TO permit the vessel to go under
the bridge. The ties she took aboard in
Occoquan had 10 be brought to her on
lighters.
The exact tie-carrying capacity of the
big barge is not known. this is the first
cargo Of the kind she has ever carried

PLANTS AS ANIMALS.
Charles Darwin's Son Says They
Have Memory. Habits and MOODS.

LONDON. September 3.-Francis OAR
win. son of the author of THE Origin of
Species, who delivered the presidential
address at the opening of the British
Association at Dublin yesterday, is the
first botanical president at the associa-
tons annual meetings for forty years.
Few more imaginative and more original
speeches have been delivered from the
presidential chair than his. though the
scientific audience shook their 1t ads.
Mr.. Darwin said he appeared as the
champion of a lost cause.-The doctrine OF
the inheritance of acquired characters.
His argument was that plants must
responded 10 touch. He advanced proof
to show that plants have memory. can
develop habits. and behave differently ac
cording to what we may call their mood.
He went so far. in fact, as to argue that
there is in plants something that CORE
spends very nearly to the nervous sys-
TEN in animals, and he asserted that
plants are quite sensitive to certain
agencies as animals. and quite as capable
of telegraphing from one part of the or
ganiSm TO another.
We must believe" Mr. Darwin said
that in plants there exists faint copy
of what we call consciousness in our
selves.
Growth itself. in his view. was a sort
of habit. made possible by memory in the
cells SO that growth could he changed at
any period of progress by the surround
ing if not by sort of free will These

ERIE'S ANNUAL REPORT.

Az, against $12.474,2 go, showing deficit
for the year Of 81, 631 ,SS9, compared with
a surplus of s., sO7, 036 the previous year.
The balance sheet as of June 80 shows
reduction compared with the year be-
fore of over S13.OOO.OOO in the amount of
stocks and bonds owned, while the cost
of road and equipment shows an increase
of nearly SoO.OOO.OOO. The explanation of
the major part of the changes in these
two items lies in the fact that in the bal
ance sheet this year the securities which
were pledged under the collateral trust
mortgage issued in connection with last
AprirS note issues are classed under cost
of road and equipment, having been trans
ferred from the free security holdings of
the company A smaller part OF the de-
crease, however, is due to the actual sale
