A1ENA0ERIE IN TOWN SATURDAY.
JlcloiiBS to nn Advertising Comimiiy
in .lllcliicnn.
A large box enr which stood on a
switch In the Delaware and HudBon
yard, Saturday morninff, was thc cen
ter of considerable attention. The car
contained a buffalo, black bear, two
deer, three elk and an owl, each In
separate cages, and to all appearances
cnjoylnjr the attention of the curious
who had gathered, attracted by this
car load of strange animals.
They belong to a. wire fence com
pany, of Michigan, and nie on the
road for advertising purposes, the cages
being made of the company's material.
They were on exhibition at the Onc
onto. fair, and are now on their way
to Dryden, N. Y , where they will again
be exhibited. The car left hero on Sat
urday, when It was taken to Wllltes
Bnrre, from where It will be shipped
over the Lehigh Valley.
ThQ animals weie all In good health
nnd were fine specimens. The buffalo
weighed 1,400 pound"), while the largest
elk had antlers four feet long.
RUSH AT THE SILK MILL
Work at the silk mill is booming, the
large number of orders which are con
stantly coming In keeping the hatuU
at work day and night. The mill Is In
need of new employes and at least a
hundred more could be given work.
The scarcity of applicants is due to the
fact that the mill being outside of the
city, the employes have to use the
street car in going to and from their
work. Where the hands are now tlio
salary, of course, Is not such that this
dally fare can be afforded. Overtures
have been made to the Traction com
pany for reduced rates, but the com
pany refuse to grant them. The silk
mill managers think the Traction com
pany ought to enter into such an ar
rangement as it will bo beneficial to
both.
PROF. HESSLER'S TRIP.
Professor Carl Hessler, so well know n
ns an accomplished musician, has left
the city In company with his father,
and will take the steamer at New Yoik
for Austria, their native land. Pio
fessor Hessler was In Brandt, where he
has been instructing a band, and was
surprised to receive the summons to
return to Carbondalo, where he found
his father, who had come from the old
country In order to urge his son's re
turn. Mr. Hessler. sr., Is a prosperous
farmer In his native land, and, as his
wlfo Is in feeble health, they were anx
ious to have their son with them. Some
four years ago the father visited this
city and urged his son to icturn. Many
friends will feel the loss of a skillful
musician and will wish him a pros
perous voyage.
INCREASE IN SCHOLARS.
The schools of Fell township have
made a most lemarkable Increase In
the number of scholars In attendance
this year. Superintendent J. E Bren
nan'a report showed that last ear the
schools had a total of 310 pupils, while
this year there aio 493 enrolled. The
school near Crystal lake, whero Miss
McLaughlin taught, will be closed this
j ear on account of the small number
of scholars who attended. This num
ber has fallen off to six and will not
warrant the keeping of a tencher. Mlbs
McLaughlin will be transferred to
IUchmondale, whore an unused room
will be fitted up to accommodate the
increased number of pupils.
FITZ WILL NOT APPEAR.
On account of his recent difficulty
w Ith a coachman, Bob Fltzslmmons w 111

NO SLEEP FOR THREE MONTHS
Ono Cnuso oTSIcoplassncss Thnt Can
Ilo Itcmtllv Overcome.
Mr. Wm. Hnndschu of ECth St, Cot
ton Alloy, Pittsburg, Pa., expresses
himself na follows regarding the new
remedy for that common and obstinate
disease, piles: "I take pleasuro in
stating that I was nllllctcd with piles
that for throe months I got no tegular
sleep; I became completely prostrated,
the doctors did me no good; my brother
told mo of tlio new remedy for piles,
the Pyramid Pile Cure; I purchased
from my druggist three 50 cent bottles
and they completely cured me. I am
unco more at my work but for this ex
cellent medicine I should bo on my
back. I take great pleasure in writ
ing this letter because so many people
are sufferers from tills trouble who like
myself did not know whero to look for
a permanent, lellable, safe cure.
Experience with the Pyramid Pllo
Cure In the past three years has dem
onstrated to tlio medical profession,
as well as to thousand of sufferers
from piles, that It Is the safest and
most effectual cure ever offered to thi
public, containing no opiates or poisons
of any kind, painless and convenient
to handle and being sold by druggists
nt DO rents and $1 per box, is within
tho reach of every sufferer.
Very frequently two or three boxes
have made a complete euro of chronic
cases that had not yielded to other re
medies for years.
There Is scarcely n disease more ag
gravating and obstinate to cure than
tho vailous forms of piles and It Is a
common practice to use ointments,
salves and similar preparations con
taining dangerous poisons to remove
tho trouble. The Pyramid has sup
erceded all if these Ineffectual rem
edies and no one suffering with any
rectal trouble make any mistake In
giving the Pyramid a trial.
If In doubt as to the nature of your
trouble send to tho Pyramid Drug Co.,
Albion, Mich. for a valuable little
book on piles, describing all forms of
tho disease and the method of euro.
Any druggist can furnish the Pyramid
Pile Cure as It Is tho best known and
most popular remedy for piles and if
you ask hlni he can doubtless rofr you
to many people in your vicinity who
have been cured completely by it.
ANOTHER DECAYING NATION.
Tlio Blitlis in Franco No Longer So
Many Annually ns tho Dcnths--EI-iect
on the Population.
Jacques Bertlllon, the Inventor of tho
famous system of Identifying criminals,
has written nn article for the Temps
of Pails on the decreasing birth rate
In France and Its effect on the popula
tion. Ho sajs:
"Our fears are again surpassed. An
ofllclal report which is about to be pub
lished by the Jounal Ofllclal shows a
deficit of 17,000 lives during the year of
1893.
This report Is symptomatic, and of
Its kind the very worst yet made. In
1S90, 1S91 and 1892 the statements
showed nn excess of deaths over births.
But that was easily explained, as then
the grip was at its height, and de
creased the bliths while it raised so
alarmingly the number of deaths. In
1893 tho figures have but ono explana
tion: tho birth rate Is growing less,
and It has been ever since the begin
ning of the century, rapidly tending to
placo Itself on an equal footing with
tho mortality list. This has at last
happened. If the birth rate continues
to diminish which It must do unless
some remedy Is found we must resign
ouiselvs to the fact iliat Franco Is
rapidly going out of existence, while
other countries gtow dally mote power
ful, as the following figures will prove:
Births per 1,000 inhabitants.

lKtl-93 22
"This decrease in births Is general
throughout France, especially In the
northern parts nnd In Brittany. ,It has
been explained as a consequonco of
civilization; but if this were eg it would
bo nocessary to accept France as the
only civilized nation of tho world, for
she Is the sole great European country
whero births diminish with such Im
placable regularity, as these figures
will show:
Births per 1,000 Inhabitants.

"Finis Gallloe! No matter what
point of view we take, tho above flg
uics lead us to that.
"The political and military conse
quents that will ensue are easy to
perceive. On the morrow of their war
Franco and Germany had almost the
same number of recruits (290,334 In
Franco and 330,130 in Germany), and
we could still cling to the hope of again
reconquering what we had lost Today
Germany has more than one-half more
lecrults (448,433) than France, which
yet retains the original number; and
as In Germany tho number of births Is
twice (1,903,160) ns large as In Tranco
(90S.849) since 1891. It is plain that in
14 years she will have twice tho army
that we have.
"Even our wealth Is threatened. Our
exports reached during tho years 1807
1S7G nn average of 3,306,000,000 francs;
In 1893 they increased to 3,374,000,000.

1)00,000 francs (the; average of

son for thiH Ib very simple; the
number of our workmen does not in
crease, while in Germany tho popula
tion has Jumped from 41,000,000 to 52,
000,000; heiico this gain over us.
"In Austria the same condition pre
vails. Her exports for 1SC0-1S73 aver
aged 1,055,000,000 francs annually; in
1894 tho figures had almost been
doubled, reaching 1,083,000,000. This Is
also explained by a gain of 7,000,000 of
population.
"At tho end of tho last century
France represented 27 per cent, of the
population of tho great European pow
ers, and our language was tho ono most
spoken throughout tho world. Today
sho lives on her past. There are 48,
000,000 of pcoplo w ho know French from
birth. Such is the number of readers
that a French book could have; but
the same book written In German could
bo read by mora than 07,000,000 men;
and If In English by more than 115,
000,000 people. Therefore, It Is not only
our political and our military power
that Is menaced by the decreasing
births In our population, but also our
economic power, nnd above everything
It 13 the Intellectual and moral Influ
ence of our writers over the world, It
Is the Intellectual patrimony of France,
that Is on the verge of disappearing."
IIE WANTED TO KNOW.
The Hotel Clerk's Little Story on tho
Bucolic Itildrgroom.
From tho Washington Post.
The clerk at the Oxford hotel was
In a talkative mood a few nights ago
and rcgalled tho loungers In tho lobby
with eomo good stoiles of amusing
guests.
"Now, this thing of having a bridal
chamber for all the farmers who marry
and como on a. tilp to the city Is en
tirely wrong. It always causes com
ment among the old guests of the
houso when they sec the names regist
ered opposite the wellknown number of
theso appartments, and they will in
voluntarily be on tho alert to catch a
glimpse of the happy pair and may
possibly be so rude as to stare at them
All this notoriety Is gained on account
of that room and causes the bridal
couple much embarrassment.
"I'll glvo you nn Illustration. A
newly ujarrled couple was piloted In
hero the other night by some of their
friends in the city, who called In a
loud voice for tho bridal chamber.
Tho groom vv as evidently from a much
smaller place than Washington, and
was so nervous ho could hardly write
his name, and It was only with skill
ful piomptlng that ho bucceeded In
getting the small entry on the regist
er correct.
"All the boys In the ofllce Joked about
the groom's evident embarrassment,
nnd told how they would act under like
circumstances, but I tell you, sir, they
aio all the same way when they have
to run tho gauntlet of a row of Inquis
itive ejes.
"Well, as I started to tell you, I got
this pair In their room nil safe and told
them I would have their baggage up
early In the morning. I thought I'd
never hear nnother word out of the
couple, and I was congratulating my
self on how easily I got them out of the
situation. It was along toward 3 o'clock
In the morning, the oillco was deserted,
and the wntchman making his rounds
when I next heard of them. The watch
man camo down stairs holding his hand
over his mouth and trying to keep a
straight face. "Tho cooplo In noomber
2 would lolke to see ou, sor," ho said.
I ran up tho stairs as quickly ns pos
sible and knocked on the door. I was
told to come In and saw the ladv sit
ting stiffly In a chair at ono end of tho
room nnd tho gentleman in tho same
position at the opposite end. "Why,
what's the matter?" I asked.
" 'Say, mister, nln't you forgot some
thing?" he Inquired.
" 'Not that I know of,' I confessed.
" 'Well, mo and Annie would Jest Hko
to know If you expect to keep us In
this parlor all night and not let us go
to bed at all?"
WAS A WISE CROW,
When He Stole u Ring Ho Knew It
Was Best to Turn Up the Plunder.
Trom tho New York Press.
Mis. James D. Martin, of North
Bennington, has a crow that Is a born
humorist. It is continually placing
pranks on tho dlffeient members of
tho Martin household. The blid's
namo Is Dick.
Dick has a strong love for Jewelry,
and never allows an opportunity to
steal a ring or other omamtnt to pass.
Recently Mrs. Martin missed a plain
gold ling. She at once suspected the
crow of being the thief.
"Dick," she sold, "whero Is the ring
you stole?"
Dick cocked his head pertly to ono
side, and then looked at his mistress

Ho shook his black hend violently,
and then flow out tho open window to
tho limb of a near-by treo.
"Thero's no uso trying 'to do any
thing with that crow," Bald Mrs. Mar
tin. "The rascal has hidden It some
where, and wo will never find It again,
I know what I'll do. I'll Just have
tho men kill that crow."
Dick evidently had overheard every
word, for ho peeped Into the room
anxiously, even In a manner betoken
ing fright. When Mrs. Martin enter
ed tho room an hour or so later sh$
found tho ring lying on a table. Dick
was demurely perched on tho back of
a chair.
"So you did bring the ring back, did
you?" said Mrs. Martin, sharply eye
ing tho bird.
Dick looked at her a moment, and
then hopping from tho chair to tho
floor, tried In a manner that was ex-
tremel ludicrous to beg her pardon.
"It's all right this time, Dick, but If
you ever steal a ring again I'll have
you shot," said Mrs. Martin, vvarn
lngly. Dick wias so glad that ho did n
double shuffle on tho floor. Then he
ilew out of the window to the tree
again, and chirped so noisily that he
attracted the attention of all the other
birds In tho neighborhood.
