Lakewood, N. J., April 23.-Thc
 fact that former President Grover
 Cleveland remains at the Lakewood hotel after the hotel has been closed for the season, while physicians are
 in close attendance has caused ap, prehension that MT Cleveland's pro, gress toward recovery from recen attack of illness has not been as rapid as desired. Watchmen are constantly on guard about the hote and information concerning the con- dition of the former president is diff, ficult to obtain. MT Cleveland occll. pies suite on the second floor of the hotel and is under constant attend. ance of Dr Gardiner the hotel phy- sician.

FORTY-HOUR SCHEDULE.
Time May Vary in Different Shops
 at New Haven.

New Haven, April 23.-Although the Winchester Repeating Arms company has put the men on shorter time scale, it seems more than probable now that the other large industries of the city will not follow the example. At Sargent s where over $4.00O hands are em- ployed no change from the present is contemplated and no workmen have been laid off within the past few weeks.
 The Sargent shops are running five days week and those days eight hours day. In speaking of the outlook last night, Henry B. Sargent said:
 The length of time the men will be employed each week is always question until the week before. The different shops manage the number of hours according to the work which has to be done and of- ten times the hours at the different shops are not the same. Since No vember the shops have been run ming only 40 hours a week and our purpose has been to keep as many men at work as possible During the time of the greatest business depression we divided the work up as best We could, but when em- ployes said they had opportunities for permanent positions we did not make the outlook there especially rosy for them. Some of these men have left the shops and after los ing their new positions on their re-. turn to our shops we have been un- able to give them work. Although we cannot forecast what the situa- ton will be a few weeks from now, We anticipate no change at present in the number of hours the men are employed"

AN INCOME IN OLD ACE.

Germany has resorted to compul
sorry old age insurance by which
the cost is divided between employ.
err, employee and the state. Eng.
land is experimenting with old age
pensions, paid out of the tax fund.
Massachusetts, as is now pretty
we'll known is attempting to induce
it. earners to provide against old
age by buying annuiities at cost.
Attention is again called to this
fact by the issuing of another card
by the state actuary setting forth
the inducements of new form OF
annuity which has just been pro-
vided for. These annuities, with
their life insurance features, are
to be had through such Masachu
sets saving banks as establish in.
surance departments.
The fgues are an inducemeut to
saving. BY paying 81 SO a month
a man or woman of 81 can be as
survd of an income of 5000 a year
after he is 65. Should he die be
fore reaching that age his estate
will receive $500 life insurance.
His death after he had begun re-
ceiving the annuity would call for
the payment to the estate of the
difference between $500 and the
amount he has received. The
monthly payment for man of %
is $l.Sl, for one of 30 is 81. "a, and |
for one of 35, 1886.
While no bank is permitted to
insure an individual to an amount
in excess of $500, or to grant him
an annuity above 5000. there is
nothing to prevent a man obtaining
the ma ximum annuity in several
banks. By paying 1892 every
month, for instance, a man of 20
could make sure of an income of
400 year after reaching 65.
Numerous Massachusetts, em-
ployers. including such important
firms as the Douglas, Regal and
Keith Shoe companies, have estab-
ished agencies TO facilitate the
payment of premiums by employ ,
,es. One of the Boston department
torres is advertising state insurance

Good Cough Medicine for Children.

The season for coughs and colds
is now at hand and too much care
cannot be used to protect the chill
dren. A child is much more like
ly to contract diphtheria or scarlet
fever when he has cold. The
quicker you cure his cold the less
the risk. Chamberlain's cough
remedy is the sole reliance of many
mothers, and few of those who have
tried it are willing to use anv
other. Mrs. F. F. Starcher, of
Ripley, w. Va, says: 81 have
never used anything other than
Chamberlain" cough remedy for
my children and it has alawys Civ
ell good satisfaction. This rem
edy contains no opium or other
narcotic and may be given as con-
idently to child as to an adult.
