peruna Critics Say
That There was Nothing Wonderful in the Recovery of
 Mrs. Eberlein.
DR. HARTMAN REPLIES.

Of course my narrative concerning Mrs. Eberlein, of Pittsburg, who was rescued from apparent death by Pe- ru-na, has excited good deal of dis cussion and comment. One critic has offered the following solution. He says that the reason Pe-ru-na cured Mrs. Eberlein at such stage of the disease is explained as follows:
 She was probably very weak. She became unable to expectorate. The consequence was huge accumulations of mucus and phlegm gathered in the lungs. On account of her weakness she was unable to expel it. It was slowly strangling her to death.
 Pe-ru-na stimulated her, enabled her to cough up and spit out the accumulated phlegm. This explains why she was cured. There was no miracle about it. Nothing wonderful either.
 To all of which I say, yes, of course. That may be the explanation. And yet it remains true that without the Pe-ru ma she would have died. It remains true that I got there just in time to save her life. The doctors had given her up to die. She was gasping for breath, unconscious, cold, in short. dying. However it is ex- plained, the Pe-ru-na saved her life. Of course it did.
 I do not believe in miracles myself. I believe there is natural explana- ton for everything. Pe-ru-na helped Mrs. Eberlein to expel from her lungs the accumulated expectoration, and thus saved her life. Good. I presume Mrs. Eberlein is just as thankful that she is alive with one explanation as with another, and am just as thankful that I was able to cure her, whatever the explanation may be.

dall was the only night watchman. He saw man crouching in the gutter on the opposite side of the street from the bank building, who was evidently the lookout while his comrades were at work in the bank Captain CrandaN went across the street to investigate and the man discharged a revolver, the bullet taking effect in the captains forehead. Unassisted he went to the brick mill in Main street and informed the watchman there of the conditions. Immediately the mill bell was rung, the people of the vicinity aroused, and of course the would-be bank robbers made their escape.
 The brain was oozing from the bullet wound, and the physician who attend ed the captain was of the belief that the wound would prove fatal But the captain recovered, was subsequently appointed chief of police and served for several years until his death.
 The taxpayers in town meeting, in recognition of the faithful service of Captain Crandall, voted a pension of S45 a month to Mrs. Crandall during the balance of her life. Mrs CrandaH has been in poor health for some time by reason of infirmities incident to age.
 The members of the Westerly town council were before the supreme court in Providence for a third time Friday as defendants in case brought by writ of certiorari brought by Harvey c. Perry, representing the citizens mo- license committee, to defend their act ion in counting the ballots cast for and against liquor license at the November election and declaring as a result of the count that the electors had voted in favor of license by a majority of two. At the hearing Friday Judge Sweeney of the counsel for defend ants succeeded in getting two more ballots in the case than were specified in the petition for the writ, making eight instead of six ballots in dispute. After hearing testimony, the counsel made arguments. The decision of the supreme court on all the points in volved will be rendered at the pleas ure of the court.

 Mrs Joseph L. Peacock of Westerly has been elected to succeed Mrs. Big Ter as vice president of the Missionary society.
 By reason of the consolidation scheme of the trolley roads centering in Vest erly, the Norwich and Worcester Trac- ton company can produce more power than is required for operation of the cars 6n the several routes, and is therefore in a position to furnish pow er elsewhere The Westerly Light and Power company has increased materi- ally and more power is required than the present plant can produce. So as a matter of convenience and economy the local company has made a con- tract for additional power >to be sup piled by the Norwich and Westerly Traction company.
 klss Julia Smith, who addressed the members of Phebe Greene Ward chap ter, Daughters of the American Rev o7Ttion, in the interests of the for1na- h1n ef a Westerly Historical society, cits( many reasons why such an or sanitation should be created and the may historical articles in the town preserved and matters of local history psrpetuated. Some of her hearers, while heartily in accord with what was said in regard to the preservation of articles of historical interest, are not enthusiastic over the formation of an historical society, on the geound that there is no actual need of such a pur- pose in Westerly. This in view of the prospect that the trustees of the Me mortal and Library association con- template having a museum confected E1tk -&he institution that will cover the field more thoroughly.
 The association has already within it's keeping a great many articles of considerable historical value that are beyond duplication, substantial nu- cleus for a museum of magnitude.

was the "Yama Yama" song, with the
chorus in their quaint costumes for
this number. There were also num-
Der of novel specialties that were
pleasing, including the electrical aerial

Der of commerce, take up the matter
and get a committee appointed to look
after the raising of a sufficient fund
to offer these prizes.
It requires some systematic work in
order to accomplish results and we
ara satisfied that the chamber of COM
nerce will look after the raising OF
money for the prizes and it can
be easily secured, and there is no bet
ter work to engage the chamber OF
commerce than to encourage the boys
of Newberry county in growing corn.
