The appraisers of the estate of the late Barstow, the attorney, filed their tory with the Superior Court yester- day. They found the following property to belong to the estate: Realty at the northeast corner of Eighteenth and Lin- den streets, valued at $32,000: real estate in Santa Clara County, $12,000; interest in partnership of Rhodes & Barstow, $3000; cash, $2500; personal property, $2202; real estate in San Francisco, $15,000. The total value of the estate is $67,217. Plight of a Policeman. Alfred Brauer, who was until recently a ’voliccman at Berkeley, was fined $25 by Judge Ogden for contempt of court. He was the complaining witness against Tim Murray, a Deputy Constable of Berkeley, whom he charged with assaulting him with a club. _He was so intoxicated as to be unable 30 give his evidence in court and was brought to time by the Judge, who sent him into thgdcusiod_v of the Sheriff until the fine is paid. Tickets for Fabiola Fete. The Fabiola Fete Association of Oakland has called in all the tickets issued for the Mayday celebration. They must be éxchanged at the secretary’s office not later than noon on Monday next for a new series to be issued in connection with the carnival on the 11th inst. G. A. R. Posts to Consolidate. Owing to decrease in its membership, through death and removal, Appomattox Post No. 50, G. A. R., has _decided to con- solidate with Lyon Post No.8. The new L. D. McKisick, special counsel em- ployed by the Attorney-General of the United States to prosecute the suit against the estate of Leland Stanford for the re- covery of about $15,000,000, received his in- structions yesterday to hurry up the hear- ing of the case. He lost no time in calling upon United States District Attorney | Foote as soon as he received his orders, | but in the circumstances nothing can be | done in the matter,as Mrs. Stanford’s attorneys have not filed an answer to the complaint. Mrs. Leland Stanford was in Washing- ton last Wednesday, and she called upon the Attorney-General. She. was particu- larly anxious to have the suit against her husband’s estate expedited as rapidly as possible. On account of the bonds issued by the Government to the Central Pacific Railroad Company and the accrued inter- est there will soon be due the United Btates about $60,000,000. Under the laws of this State each indi- vidual shareholder is responsible for his portion, and as the late Senator Stanford was one of the original four who bonded the road his estate is liable for one-fourth of the debt. When Charles Crocker died no action was taken, and as his estate has been distributed no action can be taken against his heirs, When Stanford died, the Government, fearing a repetition of the Crocker inci- dent, appointed a special attorney, and when the claim against the estate was dis- allowed by the executors suit was at once begun in the United States Cireuit Court to recover the amount in question. Since that time the Stanford estate has Leen tied up and ready money has been very hard to procure. In consequence, Mre. Stanford, when in ‘Washington, called upon Attorney-General Olney and asked that the suit be pushed rapidly to a conclusion, in order that she might know just where she stood. Special Counsel McKisick was very much surprised when he received his in- structions yesterday. While loth to dis- cuss the question at issue, still he could not refuse to give the facts in the case. The suit against the Stanford estate was filed on the 16th of March last, and, in spite of the time that has elapsed, the widow has not filed any pleadings in the case. That being the case, the Government could take no further step in the matter until the call- ing of the calendar this month. If no pleadings are filed by that time, then, on the next calling of the calendar, 2 motion will be made to have the suit go by default. ““Mrs. Stanford is trying to put the blame on the United States,” said District Attor- ney Foote, yesterday, *but it will not do. The cause of the delay is due entirely to her or her attorneys. The subpena was served on Mrs. Stanford and the executors of the estate about March 16 last. They have had ample time since then to file their pleadings, but have failed to do so. In consequence, the Government could take no action until the first rule day in this month. McKisick received his in- structions from Attorney-General Olney, but in the circumstances he can do noth- ing until rule day. The onus of the dela; Tests upon Mrs. Stanford and her counsel and we will have to await their pleasure. . “As usual the June rule day will be held in chambers, and if no pleadings have organization will probably be known as Lyon-Appomattox Post and will contain about 200 members. ALAMEDA, City Clerk Lamborn has issued invita- tions to every fraternal lodge in the citv, the military company and the school de- partment to take part in the Masonic exercises in connection with the laying of the City Hall cornerstone on the 16th inst. It is expected to make this occasion one long to be remembered and a fitting inaug- uration of what will be one of the most handsome buildings about the bay.

Mr. McKisick is ready and willing to press the suit, but, as you see, he can do nothmf toward hurrying matters until Mrs. Stanford has filed her pleadings.’” Russell J. Wilson, senior counueflor the Stanford estate, only returned from a trip to Palo Alto last evening. He refused to discuss the situation, as%e was in a hurry to get to a dinner party with his wife, Mountford 8. Wilson was also in a hurry to keep an engagement, and all that could begot out of him was that the ‘entire matter is in the course of settlement, and ou will know all about it in due course.” }J'?ha question among(l"edenl court officials now is, “Why did Mrs. Stanford call upon Attorney-General Olney and make a com- plaint that is without foundation?” ey England bas plenty of money for in- Tenders for $6,000,000 treasury bills were opened recently at the Bank of TOLD IN BLUE AND GOLD. What the Students Think of Their Tutors Very Plainly Stated. A CLASS UNDER LECTURE. Undergraduates and Faculty Still Warring Against Each Other. Although R. R. Russ is the accredited managing editor of Blue and Gold "9 of the University of California at Berkeley, there is still a possibility that there may be a revival of the old “faculty-undergraduate row" over this year’s production of Blue and Gold as published by the junior class of the university this year. In all collegiate legendary history it has been the reserved right of the junior class to do their best to balk every effort of the senior class. Every university man knows how strong this feeling is, and every uni- versity man knows that Blue and Gold ’96 represents the end of the row, or possi- bly the beginning of another, between the classes of the University of California and the faculty of that college. It was declared in 1881 at Berkeley that the “bogus’ programme on the “Junior Ex.” was an attack upon the faculty and, worse than that, that it was more or less obscene in its nature. As a patural result, Tom Williams, who was the president of that class, when asked to name the persons who wrote or caused to be written the “bogus” of that year, declined to give the names. It isauthoritatively asserted that private detectives were sent out in that year to find out who the students were that wrote the bogus programme. The detectives did their best, and they made their report, and the class was dismissed practically, bar a few. Later, most of them were taken back. No bers of the staff were summoned for an examination. = 3 Orders had been issued to all the gentleman members of the staff, with the exception of the artists, but only three eared at the appointed time in the office of the Recorder. The men who did appear were Editor-in Chief Raymond Russ and Associate Ed tors Galen M. Fisher and Willard Thomp- son. They were each asked what they thought of the miscellany which appeared, and what they thought was the function of a college annual. 5 It was asked how many staff meetings were held, whether everything that ap- peared had the sanction of ‘the entire staff and whether they could, as individu- als, sanction all the articles published. Several specific_jokes were referred to and the men asked if they were responsible for them. Thompson declared that he had never seen the Henshaw doggerel before it ap- peared, but that he was respounsible for the appearance of the joke in relation to Pro- fessor Bacon having forgotten a certain date at a history lecture. The committee had nothing to say with respect to its opinions on what had ap- peared, nor did it in any way censure the men who bad apgearcd before it to be questioned. It wished to get at the real root of the evil done, in justice to all parties who have brought’ forth com- Pplaints. 5 - A short executive session was held after the conclusion of the conference, and then the committee adjourned to meet again next week, when a report will be prepared to be presented to the Academic Council, which meets the latter part of next week. The tenor of the report will not be made public until after the council has taken official action upon it, but the members of the staff have no fear but that they will come out all right. and that no expulsions will result. They do expect a _censure for their carelessness in not seeing more of the matter before it was sent to press, and the lack of taste which was isp[ayed in the selection of some of the pieces published. A prominent member of the faculty said yesterday that “‘there is very little in this affair of a serious nature, and I don’t be- lieve any member of the committee of in- vestigation thinks of expelling any of the students. “Something will be done to smooth the matter over, but it was a mistake of judg- ment merely, and not a crime. “I don’t suppose even the author of the HOME FOR ~ INEBRIATES, It Will Still Be Under the Control of the Board of Health. DR. W. J. GAVIGAN EXPLAINS. He Outlines the Law Which Pro- vides for the Establishment of the Home. The Board of Health will have supreme control of the proposed City and County Hospital and Home for the Careand Treat- ment of Dipsomaniacs and Inebriates. According to the act of the Legislature, providing for the establishment and main- tenance of this institution, and approved by Governor Budd, the Board of Super- visors must begin work on the building in July next in order that it may be com- pleted within the fiscal year. Otherwise the Supervisors will have no authority in the government of the hospital. The law states that the Board of Health must appoint a medical superintendent, nurses and other attaches. In addition to being a regular qualified physician the superintendent must have especial qualifi- cations in the treatment of dipsomonia and inebriety. In this particular Dr. W. J. Gavigan, who drafted the new law, and whose study, training and special profes- sional attention have been given exclu- sively to the treatment of dipsomonia and inebriety, has some pronounced ideas and convictions. “The institution is not intended as a place for merely sobering off drunkards,” said Dr. Gavigan, “but is intended to put men who have become subject to the chronic habit of drinking into such a con- dition_that they can make a new start in life. For this purpose it is necessary to eliminate from the system the effects of racg at the age of 21 years, and it was then he first acquired the taste foralcohol. Bein, gtedlsposgd to nervousness, the affinity cfi is organization for alcohol soon impressed the habit upon the central nervous system ; and after indulging to excess for nine years, all the time practicing law and do- m%pol\ncs, he was tinally stricken down, and for months hovered between life and death. - After his recovery he abandoned the law for medicine, and now makes a specialty of the disease of which he him- self was a victim. He is a pupil of Pro- fessor C. H. Hughes of St. Louis. A FOREST SANCTUARY. Where the Weary Bohemians May Escape the Weaving Spiders. With the arrival of Harry Gillig from the Orient this month may come the reali- zation of the dreams of some of his Bo- bemian friends. Mr. Gillig purchased fif- teen acres of forest land in Redwood Can- yon, on the Throckmorton ranch, several years ago, with the idea of making ita permanent summer jinks ground for the Bohemian Club. It was there that the Kamakura Buddbha was erected, but the Bohemians found the forest too damp, and referred their old rendezvous on Austin reek, and the Russian River. The hardy fellows, however, scoffed at their chilly brothers, and determined not to neglect the opportunities for outing this grand and impressive forest presents, and will com- bine to build a big log house in the woods. A perennial stream flows through the property and there are springs innumer- ablescattered on the hillsides. The redwood trees are of a great height and girth, and here is found the celebrated redwood_lily, the delight of the naturalists. One of the chief charms of this canyon is that itis within easy distance of San Francisco. A pedestrian of ordinary grit can make the trip in a couple of hours from Sausalito and forty minutes from Mill Valley. If the plans of the canyon colonists are carried out, it is probable that those who are so inclined will have the privilege of setting up their own log cabins, using the main bni?dings for dining-room and social hall. The beach is not more than three miles from the Gillig estate, and the road passes through a grove of alders than which there is no more luxuriant and pic- turesque in the State. To the northwest 15 35, 20 EVERY FIVE MINUTES OF THE HOUR IN ONE OF DR. H——FE'S RECITATIONS. [From Blue and Gold '%.] v 40 45 member of the class of '81 would disclose the editorial secrets of the ‘‘bogus” for that year, and itis not likely that any member of the class of '96 will divulge the editorial responsibility of the volume pro- duced this year, which seems to be causing quite a row among the faculty of the Uni- versity of California. Any repetition by the present faculty of the action of the faculty of 1881 will prob- ably result in much more serious discom- fiture to the officials of the university than seems now to be admitted to be pos- sible by the faculty. As a'matter of fact, the fncu]t{ declines to be criticized by the students of the Uni- versity of California, and the students of that university declare in Blue and Gold their right to criticize. That’s where the row is to-day. Blue and Gold '96 is unpleasant to the fac- ulty. It has certain statistical memoranda which seems to displease some members of the faculty. The facial expression of a class under particular tnition, as reproduced, shows in a strong degree the undercurrent of feeling between the students and the faculty, the students’ glasses being used. For instance, under the heading of “The Faculty”’: Professor G. H. H-w-s-n says that— He asks no angel’s wing—no seraph’s fire, But thinks, admitted to that equal sky, His faithful dog should bear him company. The professor is G. H. Howison. Other members of the faculty come in for pleasant notice. I. T. Hengstler says: Anon I listen to the low, fond cooing of the dove, ‘And smile unto myselt, and know § am still loved and love. Professor Putzger says in an easy tone, “His jest does savor of but little wit.” Then Dr. Richardson according to Blue and Gold, from which all these quotations are taken, says, “By flatterers besieged he sits attentive to his own applause.” The quotations attributed to the mem- bers o? the faculg by Blue and Gold, if true, are easily sufficient grounds for pro- test, possibly because of their aptness or applicability, or possibly because the hats fit so well that none but members of the faculty can wear them. It may be on this basis that Blue and Gold of 96 will follow its pmto!gpe of 81, but if it does, the protest of 96 will be much stronger than that of’81. In its pre- fatory note the managers of Blue and Gold say: “‘Our function of criticism has been em- gloyed wherever we thought it necessary, ut remember that our aim has been to amuse and that we bear malice toward none, but good will toward all.” Despite this statement from the editors of Blue and Gold, their criticism has been seriously received by the faculty. That is to say the faculty may throw upon the heag: of '96 the same onus that was thrown on ’8L. From an artistic standpoint Blue and Gold '96 is a clever production, but it seems that in disproportion to it typographical excellence, the faculty of the University of California has determined to depreciate its intellectuality. There is nothing in Blue and Gold that does not bear the stamp of that old feeling between the undergraduates and the faculty. It is full of fun, it is full of chaff, it is full of that easy, intellectual badinn‘ge which is the natural result, not only of collegiate, but more markedly of co-educational collegiate intercourse. Through the lines of the book may be read the estimate of the professors by the students. Many of the faculty are men- tioned only under the head of ‘“the Fac- ulty,” while others have definite notices under the title of their own names. Professor Bernard Moses is noticeably mentioned, and through the book the pro- fessors of each class meet what in the stu- dents’ eyes is their just reward. ANOTHER VIEW, The Very Latest News From the Seat of War. BERKELEY, May 2.—The cloud of wrath which has been banging over the heads of the Blue and Gold editors at the University of California for the past week may be said to have exploded and cast its fragments to the four winds. The man who was the cause of all the trouble is Mr. Henshaw, a fellow in philosophy, whose anger was japparefitly stirred from the bottom through the publi- cation of a few college jokes, in which he figured prominently. He decided before taking a second thought to take revenge upen the editors who were responsible for the publication of the ‘‘slanderous articles,” ana demanded a meeting of the faculty at which measures should be otticially taken to either expel the entire editorial staff or force an apology from each of its members, The faculty meeting was held through courtesy to the young instructor from Boston, and after hearing his comglaints the matter of investigation into the ma- licious or non-malicious intent of the articles was relerred to the committee on students’ affairs, consisting of I'rofessors Soule, Edwards and Bacon. At the meeting of the committed on students’ affairs morning three mem- offending burlesque was lacking in real re- spect for the men whom he satirized.” /15 STILL A MISTER, Effort 20 Connect Smith’s Absence With the Fair Will Contest. Mr. Angus Non-Committal on the Senator’s Alleged Wheat Speculations. MecGlauflin & Co. do not yet admit that their missing bookkeeper, Charles 8. Smith, is a defaulter, although Mr. Bresse has let a statement fall from his lips, in a manner rather hard to interpret, that there might possibly be a discrepancy, and even an amount of $15,000 has been mentioned. Smith’s father has been closeted with Mr. Bresse in an examination of the books, but the results of the investigation are kept secret. rather curious admission was made by Smith’s father at his home, 728 Fell street, last night. Asked if he would com- municate his son’s reappearance should he turn up, said: Idonot know thatI would. Matters have assumed such a character thatI cannot say that I would. Beyond that Mr. Smith Sr. was non- committal, but his manner did not tend to dissipate suspicion. The missing man’s relatives do not appear to think he is dead. An effort to connect Smith’s disappear- ance with a desire on the partof certain rsons interested in the estate of Senator “air to get him out of the way so as to con- ceal some wheat a{)eculation of the Senator was ridiculed by all parties to the contest gesterrhy. Special Administrator James . Angus had been made to father an ad- mission that the Senator had backed Mec- Glauflin & Co. heavily in some heav, wheat transaotions, but Mr. Angus states last night that when he was questioned on that point by a reporter he told him he woulsc:‘neither atfirm nor deny anything” —that he was ‘“‘an officer of the court and could not give away any of the court’s business.”” ~He explained further: Iwas not the confidential man of Senator Fair. It is true that in some transactions I wes taken into his confldence, but the state- ment which would make it appear that I was his “confidential man,” and therefore fully informed of all his business affairs, is not true. As to whether any of Mr. Fairs money was put into any wheat speculations, that T can neither afirm nor deny, owing to the Y}o'm‘m } omups as an officer of the court. eing a special administrator of the estate, I cannot reveal any of the court’s affairs. That Smith story—trying to make it lgpenr that there was ‘anything to be gained by having joung Smith put out of the way—is simply aughable. There cannot possibly be a word of truth in it. Now, the counsel for Charley Fair and Mrs, Oelrichs know just what I know— they have the same information that I have. It is an_odd_coincidence that just as Attorneys Lloyd and Wheeler, who' repre- sent Mrs. Oelrichs and Miss Virginia Fair, began their inquiry into the suppose: wheat investments of Senator Fair Book- keeper Smith and an account book of the year an alleged wheat deal was made both disappeared. None of the parties inter- ested in the Fair estate admit that Book- keeper Smith’s disappearance is inany way material. Nevertheless quiet investiga- tions are being made by the legal repre- sentatives of the Senator’s children, . It has been divined that an established investment of the Senator in an attempt to corner the wheat market might serve the Eurpose of an attempt to prove that Mr. ‘air's mind had become slightly deranged considering his characteristic caution in business matters and his knowledge of former disastrous plunges. This surmise is based upon the advantage it is thought milght be gained in having both wills now before the court set aside on the ground of mental derangement. One thing can be taken as assured: Smith’s relatives do not think that he has been murdered or has committed suicide. His father last n‘ifht felt rather indignant that a report had been circulated about a body which had been found in the bay be- ing that of young Smith. '‘Why, nobody ever thoughtany such thing, I believe,” was the sharp comment he mduifid in to ex- press his utter skepticism as to any tragic end his son m;‘ght have met with.” On the other hand, Mr. Angus, even as late as almost 10 o’clock, was as innocent as he could be in supposing the report to be true that it was young Smith’s body. Messrs. McGlauflin_ and Bresse still express the belief that Smith’s mind might have become suddenly unsettled, and that he simply wandered away to nobody knows where. They-are loth to think he has been %uilty of any intentional crooked work, and Mr. Bresse's brother, who is also a special administrator of the Fair estate, scouts the theory of Smith’s possi- ble connection with any advantage to be gained by Mr, Fair’s heirs. alcohol, to_build up the patient physically and mentally, and then’ increase his will ggwer—a]) of which requires time. The ipsomaniac has an intense craving for stimulants, occurring periodically. The confirmed inebriate is one who has lost the power of seli-control and is oblivious to the claims of home and society, and drinks to success whenever he has the oppor- tunity. It is of the utmost importance that this unfortunate class should be provided with care and treatment based upon a thorough understanding of their condition, as there- by the evils of pauperism, insanity and crime attendant upon their presence in gh!]e gammunity should be largely dimin- ished. .“We have to deal with a diseased condi- tion. It is an undoubred fact that were every drunkard upon the earth effectually restrained from alcohol, or, if it were possi- ble, destroyed utterly in one day, the next day would show a new host of drunkards, forming in array against the fondest hopes | of humanity. “The original causes of drunkenness are not found within, but they come from | without. They consist of disease, of physi- | cal injuries, and a thousand unavoidable influences springing from the ordinary operations of an external nature.” Asked as to the inebriated condition and the manner of treatment, Dr. Gavigan said: Dipsomania and confirmed whether inherited or acquired, are disorders, and s such require physical rather than moral means alone for their relief. Civil- ized society must always bear the burden of its unfortunafe and defective classes; but it has a perfect right to insist upon measures which will reduce that burden to & minimum; and it seems to me that this will be lightened as hos- flluls (like the one provided for in the new aw) are established and fully equipped for the special care and treatmentof the dipsomaniac and the confirmed inebriate. To restrain the patient of his liberty and from the use of alcohol, the new hospital has all the legal powers of detention and control possessed by our best asylums for the insane. Any magistrate may commit to the hospital for'a term mot excecding one year any person fiven to dipsomanis, or inebriety, and who, in is opinion, is & proper subject for its treat- ment or_custody; provided, however, that no person shall be committed until satisfactory evidence is furnished to the magistrate before whom the Kroceedlngs for commitment are had, that the person is not of bad repute or character, apart {rom his habits of inebriety. And in all proceedings relative to the commit- ment of such person, it shall be specifically alleged that hogs either & dipsomaniac or an inebriate, as the case may be. Dr. Gavigan explained that the new law provides that the inmates may be released on parole during abstinence from the use of alcohol as follows: “When it shall igpen to the medical su- perintendent and the Board of Health that any person held in the hospital will not continue to be subject to dipsomania or inebriety or will be sufficiently provided:for by himself or his guardian, relatives or friends, they may issue to him a permit to be at Jiben{, upon such conditions as they may deem best, and they may revoke the rmit at any time previous to its expira- ion. The violation by the holder of such permit of any of its terms or conditions shall make the permit void. “When a permit becomes void in any manner the medical superintendent, ora member of the Board of Health, may issue an_ order authorizing the arrest of the holder of such permitand his return to the hospital, and such order of arrest may be served f:y any officer authorized to serve “process in the City and County. Any per- son at liberty from the hospital upon a permit may voluntnrilfv return to the hos- pital and put himself in the custody of the medical superintendent. Such inmates of; the hospital as are able to pay for their board shall be charged for it. “The dipsomoniac’s or the confirmed in- ebriate’s will-power is so weakened, and his nervous system so disordered, that he must be protected from himself during his slow return to health. : “With time he can be repaired and made anew,” continued Dr. Gavigan. “We must first secure the man’s safety from the thralldom of drink and repair the second- ary damage later. First put out the fire and save what remains of the still stand- ing structure, smp the weakened walls, and then rebuild and remove the damages. The foundation and framework of all re- construction of the drink-damaged dipso- maniac or confirmed inebriate is in the nervous system. If we can rescue that from immediate and ancestral damage we can save the man, but we must not leave him, after treatment, damaged and shat- te: in his brain, nerves, blood or vital organs. When the chain of morbid habit is broken there is yet the duty of after- cuge that the victim’s health may not be permanently shattered, and that insanity and other evils may not follow. A’ drunk- ard is more or less damaged in man%nans of his anatomy at the same time. We be- gn reconstruction with the beginning of eatment.’’ Dr. Gavi, is well qualified to speak upon the evil influence of alcohol and nar- cotics, not only from the standpoint of study and investigation, but from personal experience. He was for years a man about town and his daily life was an open chap- ter. A man of superior talents, he was elected to the Legi: inebriety, hysical ture by the Democ- 0. the Bear Brufh trail leads by the Lone Tree to the summit of the mountain, from which a grand view of Bolinas and its crescent beach is obtained.

Gaspar, whose husband, who is & teamster, deserted her some weeks ago and left her in destitute circumstances, has com plained to Secretary McComb of the Humane Society that Gasper has returned to this City and is persecuting her. She says that he is now living with the woman, Belle Reed, for whom he left her, and that they are both try- ing to drive her out of the City. Secretary Me- Comb advised her to invoke the aid of the courts for her protection. TRUSTING WOMEN. THEIR CONFIDENCE OFTEN LEADS TO SUFFERING. P An Ohio Woman’s Experience, as Here Related, is Interesting to Every American Woman. [EPECIAL TO OUB LADY BEADEES.) It is a very sad fact that the more a woman trusts to the skill of her physician in treating her female complaints, the longer she is apt to suffer. : Lydia E. Pinkham fully realized this fact when she commenced that exhaus- tive study that has enabled the women of the world to help themselves. She dis- covered the source of female complaints, and produced the Vegetable Compound, which is their absolute cure. ‘When such testimony as the following is given, the woman who thinks should act quickly, and no longer permit herself to trust to incompetent doctors. The Vegetable Compound is sold by all drug- gists, and every woman should have it.‘ ¢ The doctors had told me that unless I went to the hospital and had an opera- tion performed I could not live. I had falling, enlargement, and ulceration of the womb. “1 was in constant misery all the time; my back ached; I was always tired. It was impossible for me to walk far or stand long at a time. I was surely a wreck. I decided that I would give your Compound and Sanative Washa trial. “T took three bottles of Lydia E. Pinkham’s Veg-table Compound, and used two packages of Sanative Wash, and Iam now almost well. Iam stouter and healthier than I have ever been in my life. My friends and neighbors and the doctors are surprised at my rapid im- provement. I have told them all what I have been taking.” —MRS. ANNETTA BICKMEIER, Bellaire, Belmont Co., O.

GRAND TRUNK OFFICIAL Insomnia No Longer a Terror of the Hard Worker While Paine’s Cel- ery Compound Exists—Mr. N. J. Grace Speaks in Praise of It. One of the clearest complexioned, best- looking men in Boston to-day, says the Boston Globe, is a prominent New Eng- land agent of a great railroad, who uses Paine’s Celery Compound spring and fall, and whose wife and children take it daily during the spring months. Mr. N. J. Grace of the Grank Trunk is a modest man, one of the best-liked gentle- men in Boston, and a thorough railroad man. ‘When asked about the merits of Paine’s Celery Compound he said he believed in it thoroughly, had used it himself and in his family for two years with the most grati- fying results. “My boys are using it now,” he said, “and I believe there is no better spring medicine than Paine’s Celery Compound. A touch of rheumatism first urged me to try it, and times after that, when run down, as most every one is at intervalg through the year, I found that it revived the vital spark ard made me feel better. Neverin all my experience among men have I heard a remed{ so highly spoken of. Friends of mine have used it with splendid results for dyspepsia and liver complaint, while for insomnia, a neighbor of mine' tells me that it will bamsh itin a night.” Mr. Grace is one of the healthiest look- ing men to be met with in Boston to-day. For fully thirty years he has been with the Grand Trunk, yetin all his life he never looked better or enjoyed more freedom from pain than he does'to-day. He is one of the thousands in this citf who have rea- son to believe in Paine’s Celery Compound. AUCTION SALES. AUCTION SALE OF FURNITYRE ! THIS DAY. Friday.
