Fads Cannot

October the firit we aJded to our
list of customers, a lady, who is le
puied io be one of the best cooks in
Rome and oni who buys the best 01
everything for her table. We bad
tried five years t<> get her account,
and though she has traded with us
only a month and tour oats, we-feel
full}’ repaid for our five years work
for her trade, not so much for the
dollars and cents profit on her pur
chases but for her kind words. This
is what she said to us: —’T want to
tell you that lam delighted with
the goods bought of you. I have
kept house 15 years and don’t think
during t hat time, I never bought
any c ff.e that equalstcur Java and
Mocha blend in flavor and strength
and your flour makes the best bread
and pastry I every saw. It certain
ly must contain all the gluten there
was in the wheat or it would not be
so wholesome.
‘I have had nothing from you
that was not of best qvality. besides
when I send an older it is quickly
delivered ”
We would like for you to think
over thia matter and if you think
over thi» matter and if you
want the best goods that money can
bay at same prices that you are
paying for goods that have prob
ate y set on shelves for months and
and were not of good quality when
bought, we would be glad for you to
try our goods and we will prove all
that we have said are facts. We do
not give our trade to one or two
houses, bin. go to the largest man
ufaetures and bur in large quanities
and thereby get the best prices,
which enables us to sell so cheap
For importef goods and many other

as well as I can see the sun still rises in
the east and sets in the west.
A silver dollar will still buy a hundred

the gold dollar is still in hiding, and so
far as we are concerned • ‘the world do

bank by giving three for one as usual,
that is give three dollars collateral for
dollar in greenback.
Election time is the next thing to war
to bring out queer incidents and daring
deeds. I have no doubt if all the agree

were known it would make a book of in

Christian gentlemen of the first order

To show how far men will go beside

Mr. Hughes was to lower Mr. Gammon

HIGH WINDS IN BUFFALO.
Great Damage His Been D'lje to the Ship
ping lutr<»u.
Buffalo. Nov. 6.—Great damage has
been done to the shipping interests by
the high wind of Thursday night. The
wind still cont inued in gusts of high ve
locity Friday morning. The caualboat
May Sideway, while being towed up the
river from Tonawanda, broke her haw
ser and was blown on the rocks along
shore. The captain was res’-u id with a
rope, but his mules were crushed tc
death. The boat liecaine a total wreck.
The old excursion - steamer Corona,
moored in Erie basin, broke loose and
was b own across the channel and lies
with a bad list on some piles. Probably
she has a hole in her bottom and she is
in imminent danger of turning over
when the water subsides. The steam
canalboat Delta and the tug Chauncey
Morgan came in late at night. The
captain of the Delta says he was about
half way between Erie and Dunkirk
when the storm struck him. The tow
lines between the Delta and her throe
consorts parted, and although the Mor
gan tried to pick them up the sea was
running too high to do anything and
the consorts were left to their fate. The
Delta is one of a fleet of 19x11 boats
owned by the Cleveland Ship Canal
company.
The consorts who are missing are
numbers 11. 14 and 15. They carry
crews of two men each. The steamer
City of Buffalo made no trip Thursday
night. No other boats went out. The
wind has been keeping an average of 50
miles an hour with bursts of 60 and 70.
The lower Niagara river has been storm
swept, as has rarely happened before.
The water has risen two feet. The trol
ley and street cars are run with diffi
culty at present.
A SLIGHT INTERRUPTION.
Incident of a Reporter's Visit to a Fire
Engine House.
A reporter who had sought at a fire
engine house information on a point
concerning which the driver could best
inform him stood talking with the
drivi-r by the stall of one of the horses.
The horse was secured by a tie strap
commonly used in the department One
end of the tie strap is made fast by a
staple driven into the side of the stall,
while the other end is passed through
the throat latch of the horse’s bridle and
held on a pin that rises in a little recess
in the side of the stall. By means of a
simple mechanical contrivance the pin
is pulled down at the first stroke of the
gong when an alarm is sounded, the tie
strap is released, and the horse is set
free. As the driver and the reporter
talked, the horse, in a friendly sort of
way, bent his head down toward the
driver.
Suddenly an alarm was sounded, and
the horse was transformed, and like
wise the driver. The horse’s head went
up, and he was alert in every fiber. At
the first stroke the pin had dropped, and
the horse was free. With a single bound
ho cleared the stall and made for his
plqce by jhe engine, wjth .the driyer bu

Old Sarsaparilla.
That’s Ayer’s. The same old
sarsaparilla as it was made and
sold by Dr. J. C. Ayer GO years
ago. In the laboratory it is
different. There modern appli
ances lend speed to skill and
experience. But the sarsapa
rilla is the same old sarsaparilla
that made the record— so years
of cures. Why don’t we better
it? Well, we’re much in the
condition of the Bishop and the
raspberry : “ Doubtless, ”he
said, “ God might have made a
better berry. But doubtless,
also, He never did. ” Why
don’t we better the sarsaparilla?
We can’t. We are using the
same old plant that cured the
Indians and the Spaniards. It
has not been bettered. And
since we make sarsaparilla com
pound out of sarsaparilla plant,
we see no way of improvement.
Os course, if we were making
some secret chemical compound
we might.... But we’re not.
We’re making the same old sar
saparilla to cure the same old
diseases. You can tell it’s the
same old sarsaparilla be
cause it works the same old
cures. It’s the sovereign blood
purifier, and— it’s Ayers.
siue him. ille other two Korses of the
team —this was a three horse team —
were clattering forward at the same
moment. At the front of the house men
were sliding down poles like lightning.
There were a few sharp, quick, snap

horses’ necks, and over it all the boom
ing of the gong.
In all the newer firehouses of the city
the stalls of the horses are placed as
nearly as possible abreast of the engine,
so that the horses shall have the shortest
possible distance to go. In some ot the
older houses, in which there is Jess room,
the stalls are at the rear. That is where
they were in this house.
Surprised a little, the reporter hac
lost a second or two in getting to the
front. When he got there, he saw the
rirher in his seat holding the lines over
the team ready to drive out and waiting
only for the last stroke on the gong.
All fire teams are hooked up on every
alarm. On first alarm they go out only
to fins within their own district. This
alarm was for a fire outside the district.
Unhooked, the horses trotted back to
their stalls. Descending from bis seat,
the driver took up the interrupted con
versation just as if nothing had hap

BISHOP OF DULUTH.
Rev. John I>. Morrison Honored by the
Episcopal House of Bishops.
The Rev. John D. Morrison, who was
i recently elected bishop of Duluth by

Episcopal church of this country, has
been chosen to occupy one of the twc
new bishoprics created by the last gen
eral convention. He will not be conse
crated until the various dioceses of the
church have been notified and the con
sent of all the bishops obtained.
Bishop Morrison is. of Scotch descent
and was born in Canada about 50 years
ago. After being graduated from Mc-
Gill university, Montreal, he was or
dained a priest in the Church of Eng
land. A few-years later he was called
to Herkimer, N. Y., and became a mem

work in Herkimer resulted in a call to
St. John’s church, Ogdensburg, about
15 years ago. For the past six years he
has been regularly nominated as arch
deacon of Cjgdensburg by the clergy of
that city and has been as regularly ap
pointed by Bishop Doane of Albany,
who speaks in the highest terms of him.
The new bishop is a well known
scholar in languages, especially in He

Y’esterday afternoon two trains
on the Southern railway had a fright

The railway men and officials here
were as dumb as oysters and refused
to give out any of the particulars ex
cept to say that none of the train
crews were injured in any way.
They saw the impending d tnger
and jumped for their lives. The wreck
wa’ said to be cleared this morning at
one and only two passenger sebedu' 8
were delayed. Judge Maddox was a
passenger on the north bound train,
but was not injured.

THE SPECTATOR.
Lets’make it unanimous.
Have you seen a stray democratic
torch light procession laying ar< u id
loose anywhere with its tag “chawed”
off?
The democratic band wagon lost its
tail gate before it got to the polls.
An exchange says its “sanctum
natatorium was invaded by the charm
ing Miss Jennie Fewclothes one day
last week.” Evidently Miss Jennie
was in the swim and the question now
arises did she have her bathing suit
along.
And Bob Taylor is again elected
Governor of Tennessee. This reminds
The Spectator of one of his sayings
that has not heretofore been in print.
About four years ago during a ses
sion of the Tennessee legislature a
coterie of senators and representatives
of that commonwealth together with
The Spectator were lounging around
in the smoking room of th,g Maxwell
house.
The subject of kissing came up.
Various ideas were expressed as to
what constituted the sweetest kiss,
and what combined to make it. Some
one suggested a mothers kiss as she
bade her soldier boy good bye. Others,
thought the wives kiss, the babys’,
the sweethearts, etc., etc.
One young member from a popu
lous constituency, as he glanced across
rhe street intently at nothing as if to
recall a particular instance, his face
brightening up said. “The sweetest
kiss is the one you steal frdm a young
bud of a girl when she indignantly
draws away and slaps yo i on the jaw
—blushing the while, half scared, half
mad, half glad, and breathing ex
citedly— star's to laughing between
her tears.”
“No sir! no sir! quickly exc aimed
the governor, whose eyes spiraled
with all the Byrenic fervor of a box
eighteen. “Too d much like a
fight! too d much like a fight!!
Give me the girl who is learned iu the
art, one who with easy, graceful abat.
don backs up into your arms, ays h T
nadona shaped head on ycur manly
bosom and turns up her peach ripe
cheeks and you kiss and kiss and kiss,
not a boisterous kiss, not a gingerly
kiss, not a diffident kiss, net a popgun
kiss, not a nervous kiss, not a parox
ysmal kiss, not a stage or studied kiss,
but a calm, holy, ecstatic outbreaking
of two fond and trusting hearts, an
intermingling of two gentle souls
sanctified by love, a communion ot
the intangible by tangible means, a
.blending of earth with heaven, such a
kiss as Troilus, stealing by night into
the Trojan camp, might fain have
breathed on Cressida’s maiden lii
That’s the kiss—that’s the kiss t< r
me.” And the jovial-Tennessee execu
tive was roundly applauded. He had
been where sugar was made.

Two Cases in Gladwin County, Mich., Cited to Prove
the fact that Nerve Debility can be Treated
with a Nerve Feed Successfully.
DO NOT USE A STIMULHT, USE A NERVE FOOD.
, From Clc Courier-Herald, Saginaw, Mich*
In the long list of diseases that human
flesh is heir to, none perhaps are more pain
ful than inflammatory rheumatism aud its
attendant ills. The sufferer lies racked by
pains that seem unbearable and many times
even death itself would be a relief. Tor
tured by pains that seem beyond human
skill to drive away or even alleviate, the
wretched sufferer tosses on a bed of pain,
hoping that something may be found to re
lease him from the thralls of that dreaded
malady.' A case of this character recently
came under the observation of a representa
tive of the Courier-Herald, while he
chanced to be in the thriving, little town of
Gladwin, the county seat, of Gladwin
eounty, Michigan. While there he heard
of the ease of Mrs. William Flynn, who
had been a victim of inflammatory rheu
matism in its severest form and had endured
untold sufferings from it. It had drawn her
hands out of shape until they resembled
bird’s claws. She had fallen away in flesh
until she wius almost a living skeleton and
her sufferings were so great and constant
that she became a victim of sleeplessness.
All of these troubles contrived to make her
condition most alarming and she became the
victim of hallucinations, seeing terrible
thin—« •ir>4 >oc ! s-1 ■ ngers everywhere.
Tlie.i, a< '. Uui>. , Hen the most serious
const j icnees v.. i ircatencd, she was in
duced to try a remarkable remedy that had
cured one of her friends and after a short
time a happy termination of her terrible
illness was assured. Asked in regard to
her trouble and its treatment Mrs. Flynn
responded as follows: “Two years ago 1
had a terrible attack of inflammatory rheu
matism that prostrated me utterly so that I
was entirely helpless. The trouble was in
a very violent form and drew my hands out
of all shape. It also affected my lower
limbs, which became badly swollen and
helpless. I had had attacks of rheumatism
several times before but none so violent as
this. Iha I constant pains in the joints and
violent heaua.hes. There were also times
when I had chills very severe and these
were followed by periods of violent per
spiration that was exceedingly profuse and
weakened my constitution. This condition
kept on for about three months.
“One day a lady friend who had used Dr.
Williams’ Pink Pills for Pale People with
great benefit, met my little girl on the street
and on learning of my condition advised me
to get some Pink Pills ami take them. 1
gut a box and began to use them according
to directions. After two or three doses they
acted very clearly on my nervousness. I
had not been able to sleep for a long time
and this was beginning to tell on me very
severely. I had fallen away in flesh until I
was very thin and weak and my hands were
hardly more than skin and bone. As I said
after two or three doses of Pink Pills they
began to quiet my nervousness, and I could
sleep. I continued to gain so that in a tew
months I was again able to be up and do my
own work. The rheumatism has nearly left
me. lam free from the pains in the'head
and at night I can get healthful and refresh
ing sleep. These jsills have done a great
deal of good for me and I cannot speak too
highly of them. There are also other cases I
around me where they have been used and
they have acted beneficially as they did in
my own ease. I cannot say too much for,
them and say these lew words of testimony
in orter that olh-TS who are ■ u’’bring as I
was. may trv the"i s - : 1 e relief.”

Recently, while a representative of the
Cmirier-llcrald was at the thriving village
of Gladwin, Gladwin County, he heard of a
case of this nature and that it had yielded to
a short treatment with a celebrated remedy,
the name of which has become a household
word in every hamlet, village and city in the
land. The victim of this unusually severe
case of nervous trouble was Ransom Sim
mons, an old and well-known resident of the
village. His nervous condition Lad grown
worse and worse, until the slightest unusual
noise, or even the opening of a door would
almost drive Inin fruinic. Skilled physi
cians had studied over his case and pre
scribed the usual remedies, but their efforts
were ui..;v. and the patient continued
to get wore?.
Finally.one day in reading a newspaper, he
encounter! d an item in regard to a case souie
whatuiniikir io his own, and read with great
interest of the means by which it had been
cured. He at once decided to try the rem
edy, and did so. As to ihc results of its us(,
we can not do better than quote Mr. Sim
mons’ own words. When asked to narrate
his experience, he* spoke as follows:
“ As the result of a long, continued ißncsH
I became the victim of nervous debility iu
its most- violent form aiwiut four years ago.
It kept growing worse and worse until I had
become so nervous that the least noise around
the house, or the entrance of anyone into the
house, would throw me into a violent nerv
ous paroxysm. 1 tried medicines for the
trouble, but. was not. relieved. Finally, ]
read in a Detroit, Michigan paper about a
cure of a trouble sunn what similar to mine,
eftbct<d by n medicine known as Dr. Wil
liams’ Pink Pills, and decided to give these
pills a trial.- AG< r I lu.d taken a Iwx of the
pills, my n rvorstiess began to bp relieved,
and after takingten boxes of Pink Pills I was
so well that I disconiiiiutai their use, and
have not had to use then*or anything for
nervous troubles for two years past. In my
case they a-tid quickly and effectually ou
my nervous troubles, and they proved an
efficient and reliable remedy. Since u- i”g
them I have recommended them to oth rs,
and they have used them with great berndk.’’
Mrs. Simmons corroborat(‘d her hu.-haii \
Statements,and was < a’•nest in her good words
for the remarkable remedy i hat had l.cen flu*
means of affording her husband much methyl
rest, and hud freed him from the \ jolent
nervous disa’ kity that had made Lis life
miserable. Many cases similar to this one
of Mr. Simmons’ have been noted, wherein
Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills have been used
with eminently satisfactory and rpeedy re
sults, an i liability to frequent and excessive
nervous excitement has been readily relieved
and the shattend nerves built up and re
stored to a normal, healthy condition.
Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills contain, in s
condensed form, all the elements necc.xsary
to give new life and richness to the blood
and restore shattered nerves. They are an
unfailing specific for such diseases as loco
motor ataxia, partial paralysis, St. Vitus’
dance, sciatica, neuralgia, rheumatism, nerv.
ous headache the after effect of la gripjxi,
palpitation of the heart, pale and sallow
