TO CONSUMPTIVES.
The undersigned having been restored to
health by simple means, after suffering for sev-
eral vears with a severe lung affection, and that
dread disease CoNsUMPTION, is anxious to make
known to his fellow sufferers the means of cure.
To those who desire it, he will cheerfully send
(free of charge) a copy of the prescription used,
which they will find a sure cure for CONSUMPTION,
ASTHMA, - CATARRH, BroNcHiTIS and all throat
and lung Mavapies. He hopes all sufferers will
try his remedy, as it is invaluable. Those desir-
ing the prescription, which will cost them noth-
ing, and may prove a blessing, will please ad-
dress,

es to be held in connection with the

foundation. It doubtless originated with
some men who had been rejected by a
dozen women.
ALTHOUGH we occasionally have a little
spst with the Somerset Vedette, we do
not wish it understood that we have any
bad feeling toward that paper. The fact
of the matter is, newspaper men do not
just evervthing they sdy
about each other. The Vedette is one of
our most welcome exchanges, not on ac-
count of the bad breaks it makes some-
times, but because of the timely sugges-
tions and remarks it makes at other times.
The following, which we clip from its
columns, is sensible and to the point.
We heartily endorse every word of it:
A stranger in town several weeks ago. passing
the Court house park, noticed a structure com-
posed of a lot of timbers, levers, wheels, ete,
that stands at the northwest corner of the Capi-
tol building of the county, and asked whether
that was the scaffold on which the Nicelys had
been executed. Many other persons have puz-
zled their wits to know what this strange struc:
ture is. A little examination will show that it is
a patent farm gate. But what is a patent gate
doing in the public grounds that belong to the
people of the county? Who has “pull” enough
on the County Commissioners to get the use of
these grounds for advertising a private enter-
prise, and disfiguring what ought to be a hand
some little public park? Weare ashamed to say
that our investigation resulted in the discoyery
that-this hideous red structure belongs to one of
the Commissioners of the county, and that while
he is drawing his salary, he is making the county
furnish him ground on which to advertise his
gate!
JupeeE BRUBAKER, of Lancaster county,
Pa., bas instituted an inquiry and ap-
pointed a committee of prominent attor-
neys to investigate the truth as to allega-
tions that the county officials are charg-
ing exorbitant fees beyond the proper al-
lowance by law. Assertions have been
made by some prominent attorneys of
the Somerset bar, and frequent allegations
are made by tax pavers, that the coun-
ty officials of Somerset county have
been grossly violating, in like manner,
by overcharging for official services,
fees, etc. Would it not be well for Judge
Longenecker to appoint a like committee
of prominent attorneys of the Bedford
and Somerset county bars to investigate
the conduct of these officials, and if the
practices alleged are practiced be true,
proceed to prosecute the offenders to the
full extent of the lnw?—Berlin Record.
You Yet it would. Bro. Marshall; let
the investigation be made. We are find-
ing no fault with any of our county of-
ficers. for we know but little concerning
their conduct; but we would like to see
an investigation made in order to see
whether there is any ground for com-
plaint. If the county officers are doing
their duty. an investigation will do no
harm; if they are not doing what is right,
an investigation will remedy the evil.
A FUNNY postmaster recently sent to
the Postoffice Department a new set of
postoffice rules. Thev were:
A pair of onions will go for two cents.
Ink bottless must be corked when sent
by mail.
Persons are compelled to lick their own
nostage stamps and envelopes, the post-
master cannot be compelled to do this.
Persons are earnestly requested not to
send postal cards with money orders in-
closed, as large sums are lost in that way.
Nitro-glvcerine must be forwarded at
the risk of the sender. If it shonld blow
up in the postmaster’s hand he cannot be
held responsible.
When letters are received bearing no
direction, the persone for whom they are
intended will please signify the fact to the
postmaster that they may at once be for-
warded.
As all postmasters are expert linguists,
the address may be written. in Chinese or
Choctaw. Al
It is unsafe to mail apple or fruit trees
with the fruit on them. :
It is earnestly requested that lovers
writing to their girls will piease confine
their gushing rhapsodies to the inside of
the envelope.
Ducks cannot be sent through the
mail when alive. The quacking would
disturb the slumbers of the clerks on the
postal cars. :
When watches are “sent through the
mail, if the sender will put a notice on
the outside, the postmaster will wind and
keep in running order.
John Smith gets his mail from 673,269
postoffices, hence a letter directed to
John Bmith, United States, will reach
him.
When you send a money order ina
letter, ‘always write full and explicit di-
sections in the same letter, so that any
person getting the letter can draw the
money.
Alligators over ten. feet in length are
not allowed to be transmitted by mail.
The placing of stamps upside down on
letters is prohibited. Several postmasters
have recently been seriously injured
while trying to stand on their heads to
cancel stamps placed in this manner.
COLUMBIAN EXPO.
SITION.
KEAD Talis!
ITS PRESIDENT TO THE PEOPLE.
Carcaco, March 30.—The following ad-
dress to the public has been issued by
President Higinbotham:
Because of many misrepresontations
and misstatements relative to Exposition
management and affairs being in cireula-
tion through the press and otherwise,
both in this country and abroad, and in
reply to many letters of inquiry or com-
plaint touching the same matters, it seems
advisable that some official statement re-
garding them should be made to the pub-
lic. Theretore, I respectfully ask that
the widest publicity be given to the fo!-
lowing facts:
1 The Exposition will be open in readi-
ness for visitors, May 1
2 An abundance of drinking water,
the best snpplied to any great city in the
world, will be provided free to all. The
report that a charge would be made for
drinking water probably arose from the
fact that Hygenia water can also be had
by those who desire it at one cent a glass.
3 Ample provision for Seatiug will be
made without charge.
4. About 1500 toilet rooms and closets
will be located at convenient points in
the buildings and about the grounds, and
they will be absolutely free to the public.
This is as large a number in proportion
to the estimated attendance as has ever
been provided in any exposition, In ad-
dition to these, there will also be neurly
an equal number of lavatories and toilet
rooms of a costly and handsome charse-
ter. as exhibits, for the use of which a
charge of 5 cents wiil be made.
5. The admission fee of 50 cents will
entitle the visitor to see and enter all the
Exposition buildings, inspect, the ex-
hibits, and, in short, to see everything
within the Exfusition grounds, except
the Esquimaux village and the reproduc-
tion of the €olorado cliff dwellings. For
these, as well as for the special attrac-
tions on Midway Plaisance, a small fee
will be charged.
8 Imposition or extortion of any de-
scription will not be tolerated.
7. Free medical and emergency hospit-
al service is provided on the grounds by
the Exposition management.
The Bureau of Public Comfort will
provide commodious free waiting rooms.
including spacious ladies’ parlors and
toilet rooms, in various parts of the
grounds.
