There is no more trying work than tbe
weaver's. Added to the confinement, the
beat and the impure air, there is often an
. amount or phys
ical exertion
I which seems in-
credible. In the
manufacture of
plush, for ex
ample, those
, who cut me pile
have to walk
? about thirty
.miles a day.
5 And with every
;Step of that
'thirty miles
they breathe in
vitiated air filled with particles of dust,
poisonous coloriug matter and other sub
stances, irritating to the throat and
lungrs. It is no wonder that so many mill
hands have an obstinate cough or that so
many of thern die of "lung trouble."
It is to operatives whose work makes
them peculiarly liable to lun disease
that Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Dis
covery comes as a priceless boon. It posi
tively cures deep seated and obstinate
coughs, bronchial affections, bleeding of
the lungs, and other diseases which if
neglected lead to consumption.
" When I commenced taking your medicines,
eighteen months eito. my health was completely
broken down." writes Mrs. Cor3 t,. Sunderland,
of Chaneyville, Calvert Co., Md. "At times I
could not even walk across the room, without
pains in my chest. The doctor who attended me
said I had lung trouble and that I wouid never
be weil ajr-iin. At last I concluded to try Dr.
F'erce's medicines, I bought a bottle of 'Golden
Medical Lh.seovery,' took it, and moon commenced
to feel a little better, then you directed me to
take both the 'Golden Medical Discovery ' and
tbe ' Favorite Prescription.' which I did. Alto
gether I have taken eighteen bottles of ' Golden
Medical Discovery,' twelve of the ' Favorite Pre
scription,' and live vials of ' Pellets.' I am now
almost entirely well, and do ail my work with
out any pain whatever, and can rum with, more
case than 1 eor.ld formerly twa;'."
You can consult Dr. Pierce by letter
absolutely without charge. He will care
fully consider your condition, and write
you fully, giving you familiar, fatherly
advice as well as medical direction. Your
letter will be held as strictly private
end sacredly confidential. Address Dr.

The E. Bennett Mansion,
NEW FIVE-INCH GUN.
Shows Satisfactory Results in First
, Trial Tests.
New Tork, April 13. Remarkable results
have been attaiwd with the latest model
6-inch gun, the test of which is in prog
ress at the Indian Head proving grounds,
according to dispatches from W ashington.
Rear Admiral O'Neil. chief of ordnance,
has been informed by Lieut. Straus, in
charge of the proving grounds, that the
gun has developed a maximum, velocity
of 3.2.10 feet a second with less than 17
tons pressure.' This velocity was given to
a E-pounl projectile.
The great superiority of the new weapon
over tiie 5-inch gun on the Kearsarge will
be understood when it is known that the
maximum velocity attained with a 60
pound projectile hred by the hitter is 2,
550 feet a second. With a impound shell
a. velocity of 2,!y0 feet a second has been
attained with the latest model. The muz
zle energy obtained was 3.724 foot tons. In
the recent trials with the SO-pound pro
jectile a muzzle energy of 3. SIS foot tons
was obtained. Rear Admiral O'Neil has
determined: to use the 60-pound projectile.

assure stability.
COLLEGE ATHLETES HELD
American Teams Will Give Away
Points to Oxford Men.
New Haven, Conn., April 13. The Tale
and Harvard track athletic team man
agers will meet in Springfield, Mass.,
early next week to discuss the answer
from Cambridge and Oxford to the chal
lenge for the international track meet.
The letter is expected by Sunday at the
latest.
Sherman L. Coy, manager of the Tale
team, said last night:
"Tale will not hold out for July, either
early or late, if that month would make
acceptance possible. We should greatly
prefer it for our convenience and do not
HI- -to have the meet in Septemberbut if it
is necessary we shall probably consent.
It will depend upon Harvard's position
on that point.
"Tale is willing to have the program
consist of the nine events which the
British university men request. Just the
same as 1899. We are willing to drop
the 220 yard hurdles, the pole vault and
shot put."
The annual dual games between Tale
and Harvard track teams will be held
in this city on May 11. The place and
date has just been settled. .
GOTHAM MUST HUSTLE.
Inland Cities Handle Their Own Com
mercial Paper Now.
New Tork, April 13. The Journal of
Commerce says:
An important development resulting
from the business activity and prosper
ity of the last few years is the decided
change which has taken place in the
methods of handling commercial paper.
It is estimated on reliable data that the
volume of commercial paper discounted
in New York through the leading note
brokers ranges between $5,000,000 aivl
$6,000,000 annually. Formerly a larg
amount of paper of out of town houses
was sent to New York for sale.
One of the foremost authorities on
commercial paper in this market sail
last night:
"The plethora of money in the inter
ior cities and the enormous line of de
posits -which the banks of these cities
hold prevented large lines of paper
which formerly came to New York for
discount at low rates from coming to
this market, because the banks in the
interior have come down in their rates
to meet the New York rates and are
purchasing paper direct in their own ter
ritory at New Tork rates, notably so in
cities like Chicago, St. Louis, Kansas
City, Omaha, Denver, Detroit, St. Paul,
and Minneapolis.
"This dearth of paper haa naturally made
all of the note brokers more active than
ever. The dearth of paper ha3 also had
another effect, it has caused the note
brokers to go to the smaller class of con
cerns throughout- the country soliciting
their business at lower rates than they
have been in the ha.bit of paying to other
local institutions. This in turn has taken
away a great deal of investment from the
local Institutions, and thrown them into
the security market. Banks that are not
buyers of commercial paper, and are not
in the position to buy commercial paper,
have been compelled to seek the security
market where a large volume of securities
have naturally been absorbed in this way.
Tlie southern banks have been exceedingly
prosperous, showing enormous increases in
deposits. The south is in a very prosper
ous condition generally. Acreage lands in
certain sections have nearly doubled In
value during the last three yearss, notably
ao in the state of Texas."

is a. powerful young fellow 22 years of
age He is being closely guarded today

is fatal. Wright says he is a shoemaker

age. A Pointer For Attorneys.
St. Louis, April 13. Through Judge
Sanborn, the United States court of ap
peals today decided that the failure of
attorneys to file their assignment of er
rors before obtaining a writ of error
from the lower court would result in the
dismissal of their case when it reached
the appellate bench. The filing of an ap
signment of errors before the issuance
of a writ of error is indispensable und' r
the eleventh rule of this court, says
Judge Sanborn, "and the -writ of error
will be dismissed if the assignment is
not filed before it issues."
