Most of us have met the ridn “who is forever bragging abcut his good bealth—as 1: that wero any merit of his. He invites is {p feel his mus- cles, and to thump him on the ehest. Says bo was never sick a day in his dite, &., &. He may be virtuous and intellectual, as well as ro- bust, but he 1s a great nuisance. “And I never touch a drop of stimulants, sir,”* he says. L 4 Very well, friend; {f you “don’t need stimu- lants let them alone. The same advice applies to pills and plasters. But, pleas¢ recollect that twost people do not keep themséives up to a bigh standard of health all the time. They simply can’t. They are deptessed by long hours in the cold air, Their feet get wet, and they droop in ill-ventilated rooms. Every commanity, during the cold months, is full of people who are on thé brink of sickness, and might have fallen over at any time, unless they saved themselves with a pure, health-bestowing stimulant. These are the people that tell how greatly they have been benefited by Duffy's Pure Malt Whiskey. ‘They tell how it toned nerves and stomach; how it stopped that nasty, obstinate little cough, and supplanted languor and weakness with snap anf vigor. To do this, a whiskey must be pore as Arctic fce. If Dufly’s Malt did not meet all the require- ments of a medicinal article of the highest rank, it would not be so much in demand in homes hospitals.

One of the saddest deaths that has oc- curred in this community for many years was that of Mrs. James H. Gambrill, whe expired suddenly at her suburban home, “Edgewood,” on Monday night.

The Toronto World says: “The dominion elections will take placein March, but be- fore that many changes in the conservative party will take place. Sir John Thompson will resign before the elections, and be sworn in as a member of the privy council.

The Pennsylvania railroad, which has been experimenting with long rails on portions of its main line, has secured very satisfactory results from the sixty-foot rail, and it is probable that it will soon supplant the present standard thirty-foot rail. The advantage possessed by the sixty-foot rail over the shorter one now in use is the saving effected in the matter of joints, which item, including fish and bed plates, together with the bolts, amounts to full $600 per mile. — Big Spoil Alleged. In a supplemental complaint filed at Tacoma, Wash. in a suit to recover $1,000,000 of the Light and Water Com- pany, of which C, B. Wright of Phila- delphia is principal owner, the city alleges that Isaac W. Anderson, a stockholder in the company, and director of the Northern Pacific; Theodore Hosmer, its president; Harris A. Corell, formerly stenographer in the New York office, who was president of the city council at the time, through bribery and fraud, at an expense of $100,- 000, sold the water plant to the city for $1,750,000, when the property was not worth over $750,000. The work of opening and arranging the bids for contract service on star and steamboat mail routes in Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Michigan, Wisconsin, Minnesota, Iowa and Missourl has been commenced at the Post Office Department.

Two Men Who Think They Saw Her Murderer. . The Catherine Ging murder mystery of Minneapolis, Minn., is still unsolved. The newspapers and the police have followed up every clue with unremitting energy only to find themselves up against the stone wall of mystery that hides the iden- tity of Miss. Ging’s companion. Two more men have been found who believe they have looked upon the face of the murderer. One of these is M. D. Wilson, a local liveryman. On that night, when driving home, he noticed the Goos- man livery rig and easily recognized it. Mr. Wilson heard the voices of two peo- ple in the rig and believes he recognized that of Miss Ging, who had often hired horses vf him. The glance he had of the man was in the moonlight. The next day, while standing over the body at the morgue, he had a peculiar sen- sation. Standing near him was a man whose appearance seemed to correspond with the mental picture he had formed of the man figure in the rig the night previous. Mr. Wilson conveyed his im- pressions to the officers standing near him and since that moment the mysterious person has been under ‘surveillance. The police have said nothing regarding the incident, but although at first glare the incident seemed valueless it is being worked for all there is in it. The second man who thinks he has seen the murderer’s face is W. H. Dennis, the architect. He declares that he has seen Miss Ging, whom he knew well, several Umes lately with a stranger. Mr. Dennis was in St. Paul last Friday and he states that he met Miss Ging and this stranger coming out of McGee's restaurant. He describes the man as being an exceed- ingly smooth individual, dressed very well and withal calculated to make an im- pression on ladies. Mr. Dennis believes That this is the man who killed Miss Ging. This is perhaps the best thi the de- tectives have had to work on and the inat- ter will be thoroughly investigated. ———_-+ ee WELL-KNOWN MEN DEAD.
