Remarkable euralar.Proof Safe.

The most remarkable burglar-proof safe In the world has just been placed in a bank at Newburg Island. At night the safe is lowered by cables into an impregnable metallic-lined sCb-yault of masonry and concrete. After reaching the bottom it is fastened down by massive steel Jugs, operated by triple time lock Until these Jugs are released automatically at a desired time. no human agency can raise the safe, and to break in through mass of stone and concrete which measures 10 feet by 10 feet by 16 feet with dynamite would wreck the building without making the safe available

Making Good.

There Is no way of making ldSttno -friends like eMaking Good;7 and Doctor pierce's medicines well exemplify this, and their friends, after more than two decades of popularity, are numbered by the hundreds of thousands. They have smade good and they have not made 4drunkards.
 A good honest square deal medicine Of known composition is Dr. pierce's Golden Medical Discovery. It still enjoys an im menSe sale, while most of the prepara- tionS that have come into prominence in the earlier period of it's popularity have wgone by the board and are never more heard of. There must be some reason for this long time popularity and that is to be found in it's superior merits. When once given fair trial for weak stomach, or for liver and blood affections, it's supe- rior curative qualities are soon manifest; hence it has survived and grown in pop ular favor, while scores of less meritnrious articles have suddenly flashed into favor for a brief period and then been as soon forgotten.
 For q torpid liver with it's attendant Indigestion, dyspepsia. headache, per hapS dizziness, foul breath nasty coated tongue with bitter taste. loss of appetite with distress after eating. nervousness and debility. nothing is so good as Dr. Pierce'S Golden Medical Discovery. It's m honest. SQuare-dcal medicine with all

 He sat for moment or two think ing it over and then remembering that it would be necessary to get ready for the duties of the day he tossed the tack from him and slipped a leg into the other section of his trousers.

OLD WAR SLOOP~ SINKS.
Dale Sprung Sudden Leak and Goes
Down at Moorin1s.

The old sloop Of war Dale. for many
years used as a receiving ship at the
Washington navy yard, and said tC have
been built at this city, sank at her moor
ings at the Arundel Cove station of the
revenue cutter service Sunday night A
leak suddenly developed in the old ship
that caused her to fill and go to the bot
tom. The Dale about six years ago was
sent from this city to Baltimore and was
used as the headquarters for the Mary
land naval militia. The acquisition of
superior vessels for the use of the re-
serves made the Dale useless and after
being dismantled and everything of value
taken from her. she was then towed to
Arundel Cove, where she has been used
as a storehouSe.
Arrangements were made yesterday with
Capt. w. s. Tooker of the Merritt & Chap
man Derrick and Wrecking Company of
Norfolk to float the vessel. diver is
expected to arrive this morning from Nor
folk, who will close the leak.

Special Correspondence OF Lie Stdi.
ROCKVILLE. Md. November 26, 1908.
Mrs Hattie Hillard. wife of Thoma
Hillard of the vicinity of Clarksburg. this
county, was acquitted in the circuit court
here yesterday of charge of assault with
intent to murder. 1t was alleged by Rich
ard Hawkins, neighbor. that she drew
a revolver on him and snapped the Weap-
on twice in his face, the failure of the
cartridge to explode probably saving him
from death. Mrs. Hilard did not deny
the accusation, but pleaded 1ustlf1cation
on the ground that Hawkins had applied
opprobrious epithets to her The basis OF
the affair was the result of Mrs. Hillard
turkeys wandering on Hawkins property.
During the closing argument Attorney
| Thomas Dawson, who represented Mrs
Hillard, denounced Hawkins. The latter
arose from his seat and started to remove
his coat, as though preparing to attack
Mr.. Dawson. States Attorney Wd'ers'
however, prevented trouble.
Mrs Hillard was also charged win
carrying concealed weapons. but was ac-
quilted.
The trial of Charles Lee. colored: charg-
ed with the murder of John Swailes, also
'colored, has been postponed until the
March term of court The postponement
was asked and granted on the ground tna'
