AN AMERICAN HUSTLER.
Successful Work of Charles S. Ward
Formerly of DanviIIe.

st. Johnsbury friends have fol-
lowed with interest the success of
Charles S. Ward of New York, Sec
rotary of the internationl committee
of the Y. M. c.. A, who has been
trying to introduce American
hustle into London by his famous
elosk campaign. Mr.. Ward is a
native of North Danville, was grad
uated from st. Johnsbury Academy
in 1877 and married Miss Bessie
Randall, a cousin of E. N. Randall
and well-known here. In five
years Mr.. Ward has raised SIS, 0O0,-
600 in campaigns for the Y. M. G..
A. but, according to his own story,
found Londoners a different propo-
sition from Americans. Two months
ago the future. of the London asso-
citation was in doubt and Mr.. Ward
was sent for as the man who could
save it if anyone could. He found
that prominet people were not inter
ested in the association and kenw
little about it. On Jan. 10 he began
his carefully organized o'clock cam
paign' for 100000 to be raised in
12 DAYS. At the end of the time they
were $15O,O0O short, but the effort
will be continued until the money is
raised. The London Christian
World said of Mr.. Ward: "He is not
the sort of a man that one imagines
an American organizer to be. But,
to borrow a Barrie phrase, he has
the 100000 look :" Lord North
clife, owner of the London Times,
Mail and many other papers, was at
first opposed to the campaign but
became an ardent supporter, as was
Earl Grey, former governor-general
of Canada. AS a token of their APP
probation of his work the London
authorities presented Mr.. Ward with
the old grandfather clock" which
stood for generations in the home of
Sir George Williams. founder Of the
organization. On his return from
London Mr.. Ward went directly to
Chicago where Mrs. Ward and their
daughters, Alice and Ruth, remained
while he was in England. Miss Ruth
is student at Northwestern Univer-
sity there

February Worst Month for This
TroubIe-HOw to Remove Easily.
There's a reason why nearly
everybody freckles in February, but
happily there is also a cure for these
ugly blemishes, and no one need stay
freckled.
Simply get one ounce of othine,
double strength, from w. B. East
man and apply little of it at night,
and in the morning you will see that
even the worst freckles have begun
to disappear, while the light ones
have vanished entirely. Now is the
time to rid yourself of freckles, for
if not removed now they will stay
all summer. and spoil an otherwise
beautiful complexion. Your money
back if othine fails

What looks like disbolical attempt to kill Carl Moore, the l5-year.old stepsou of P Wimberly, democratic candidate for street com missioner at the primaries, took place last evening at the family residence at the corner oi First street and B avenue at ll05 o'clock.
 Young Moore was asleep in q email frame building about 20 feet from the house when the explosion occurred {, and that he is alive today seems almost miraculous. Some explosive " evidently thrown sgsinst the s'de of he building in which he was asleep which blew in the whole side on top of the ted in which the boy lay, bending the iron bed ID had shape and tearing the covering on top of him, and he es- caped with only bad scratch on the left cheek and being sgmewbat siun- ned. The residence Tn which the 1 family were asleep was slso badly damaged. the windows all being smashed.
 When seen by Dispatch represent. tstive last night MT Wimberly stated the boy had enemies and had been I threatened about 8 week ago and for that reason he had been kAeping him home nights, but he never expected they would attempt to take bis life in such dsstsrdly manner. He said the matter would be investigated ty

 care to make public ths nsms of tbe
