there might be something in the conf.
dent announcements made by the COM
panv several months ago. Captain
Baldwin is here in Boston. and he says
that the proposed balloon service be
tween New York and the Hub will soon
be a reality.
At present the company plans TO

This picture is not overdrawn; the
writer has seen thousands of just such
cases. He has personally experienced
the demoralizing results that come from
the ravishing attacks Of the horrible
