pied with a reference hearing before

Emery of Ellsworth, Chief Justice
William P Whitehouse of this city

ed for the plaintiff. Edgar NJ. Briggs

ing for the plaintiff, stated that al
though his client, Francis Briggs of
pittstield, had been adopted by the
Dobsons he had not, by that adoption
lost his right to his grandfather's es-
tate. Judge Foster, in replying for the
defence, argued against this PROPOSE

he wished his money distributed. He
desired that $4,000 be given to son.
Orlando Jr., 500 TO daughter, and
other small requests. Then he wished
$1,000 to be given to each of the three
churches at Parkman, the Methodist
Baptist and Free VIII Baptist church
es The witness was to have the use
of this money during his lifetime and
at his death it was to go to the three
churches. Meanwhile the witness was
10 invest the $4,000 and give the in
come to the three societies for the
support of preaching. He testified at
some length in regard to claims made
by the plaintiff, Francis Briggs, and
the correspondence which ensued be-
tween the two.

we're cross-examination by Attorney
Hudson and was still OF. the grill when

ing will be resumed at $50 a. NJ,

Solicitors for
WOmen'S Restroom
Meet with Success.

The result of the first day of active
solicitation for the proposed women S
rest and waiting room on Water street
proved highly satisfactory and the la
dies connected with the work express
ed themselves, Tuesday evening. as
greatly pleased with what had been
achieved upon the opening day of the
canvass.
One of the most pleasing facts III
connection with the work was that
in not a single instance was a dona-
ton of some size refused by those
called upon. This fact was highly sat
isfactory to the friends of the move
ment, and tends to prove what has
all along been claimed by it's advo-
Gates, that the feeling in favor of such
an institution was well-nigh unani-
nous in this city The ladies in charge
were not quite ready to state just how
much had been pledged but they were
free to say that the result of the day
had been very satisfactory.
The work of soliciting will be active
ly pushed forward from now on an6
within a few days a statement will
probably be made by those in charge
of the work as to just how much has
been accomplished.
The reception given the soliciting
committee by business and profession
al men of the city was particularly
pleasing. and if those who are to be
seen in the immediate future respond
as we'll as those seen, Tuesday, the
success of the movement seems as
sured.
1t is proper to add that the largest
amount obtainable can be used to
great advantage in the work, so that
it is hoped that those who have not
yet been seen will respond as literally
Is they can.

ALMOST LOST
HIS FOOT
Operations Did Not Seem
To Do Any Good.
After Years Of Agony Doctors
Advised Amputation.
A Great Triumph for a Great
Medicine.

ELKART, Ind.-'T narrowly escaped
losing my foot, because of swelling
and sores on my ankle. They dis
charged a great quantity OF matter
and some pieces of bone. We tried
everything to make the errptions heai,
and had two or three operations,
which did not seem to do any good.
After three years of agony the doctor
advised that the foot be amputated in
order to save my life. NY family
would not consent to this, but began
to give me Hoods Sarsaparlla.
ITO make long story short, Hoods
Sarsaparilla effected a complete and
wonderful cure. The sores healed up,
the discharge ceased, the swelling
went down, and l could walk as well
as anybody. l have had scarcely
sick day since. The cure was perfect
and complete. It was a great triumph
for Hoods Sarsa parilla over impure
blood. The germs certainly got the
worst of it from Hoods Sarsap arilla
in my case, and I believe it will cure
in all similar cases, SO l warmly rec
ommend it," Henry Jenkins.
Thousands of intelligent and Geo.
nomical men and women have come
to know by experience the great value
OF Hoods Sarsaparilla, and to regard
1t as common sense" to use this pro-
prietary medicine in many diseases
and ailments.
Hoods Sarsap arilla effects its Won
derful cures. not simply because II
contains sarsaparilla, bat because ii
combines the utmost remedial values
of more than twenty different ingred
tents. which are the very remedie.
successful physicians prescribe for thu
same diseases and ailments, but are
not all found in any other medicine
There is no real substitute for Hood!
Sarsaparilla. If urged to buy an,
preparation said to be Just as good
lou may be sure it is inferior, cost,
less to make, and yields the dealer
