The phenomenal growth of the Graphophone business has resulted in a decision by the American Grapho- phone Co,, which manufactures exclu- sively for the Columbia Phonograph Co., to add another building to its al- ready extensive plant at Bridgeport, Conn.The new building will be of brick, up to date in equipment, fifty feet wide, two hundred feet long and two stories in height. Every precautionary meas- ure to provide against fire will be tak- en, in accordance with the general policy observed by the Graphophone Co. in respect of its other buildings. The proportions that the grapho- phone business has assumed may be inferred from the fact that the build- ings composing the factory’s plant now cover about one half of the city block owned by the company and in which more than a thousand men and women are employed. With the advent of the Columbia Disc Graphophone. the general busi- ness has become more active than ever, and up to this time there has been no dull season. There are many reasons for this, chief among which is that while other talking machine manufac- turers have exploited a disc machine, in small way, the public have never been supplied with machines of that type that were not noisy and undesira- ble or with disc records that were ar- tistic and free from the grinding at- tribute commonly known as “scratch.” From the day when the Columbia Company began filling orders for the disc product it has never been able to meet the demand. In the meantime its business in wax records—particu- larly in the High Speed Moulded vari- ety—as well as in graphophones using cylindrical records has been such as to utilize its full plant—thus rendering a new building an absolute necessity. This addition, which is already under way, will be furnished, when completed in the early autumn, with the best ma- chinery and of the latest design, and everything will be done to make the disc product even more popular than now and so infinitely superior to other goods of the same kind as to place it in the class with all other Columbia Phonograph Co. product and which is pronounced. at home and abroad, to be of the very highest grade. 7 ee ep le ree Saves a Woman's Life. To have given up would have meant death for Mrs. Lois Cragg, of Dorches- ter, Mass. For years she had endured untold misery from a severe lung trou- ble and obstinate cough. “Often,” she writes, “I could scarcely breathe and gometimes could not speak. All doe- tors and remedies failed till I used Dr. King’s New Discovery for Consumption and was completely cured.” Sufferers from Coughs, Colds, Throat and Lung Trouble need this grand remedy, for it never disappoints.

Webb, of Rankin Post, No. 10, Brooklyn, N. Y., became so weary of the Evans regime, that he prepared the following, which was re- ceived with great applause by his Post, and was embodied in House Bill 15, 237, introduced by Representative Me- Dermott, of Jersey City: A bill concerning pensions. Whereas, It is rumored that several pensions have been granted within two years after application of the Bureau of Pensions, which fact indicates lack of proper investigation by the Depart- ment, Therefore, Be it enacted by the Senate and House offRepresentatives of the United States of America in Congress assem- bled, That the Bureau of Pensions shall not hereafter take favorable action upon any application for a pension until the applicant shall fully have answer- ed, to the satisfaction of the Commis- sioner of Pensions, and all the employes of the Bureau (which approval shall be indicated by separate indorsements up- on the application or papers annexed thereto), the following questions, and given the information hereinafter indi- cated: (a) With wham have you talked con- cerning your application? Give time of conversation and color of the eyes of person with whom you conversed ; also two photographs of his nearest relatives. (b) Give history of your childhood, with copies of your composition at school. Have copy certified by school- master. If schoolmaster is dead, give history of his family from time of coro- nation of Rufus the Red to the seventh day of January, 1902. (e) In order that claim may receive early attention, furnish a copy of the directory of each town or city in which deceased resided, with the affidavits of two reputable citizens, showing the truth of each allegation of residence contained in said directories. If appli- cant is in indigent circumstances, blanks will be furnished by the Depart- ment, not, however, exceeding the ca- pacity of two freight cars. (d( If deceased was not native born, furnish photographs of birthplace ; also history of maternal grandmother. If photograph of grandmother is not ob- tainable, furnish oil painting. (e) Furnish 13 affidavits of reliable citizens showing that applicant has never contemplated remarriage. Each affiant must fully state the sources of his knowledge, which must not have been derived from conversations with applicant. (f) If marriage to deceased was prior to 1860, furnish the affidavits of 38 citi- zens showing clearly and conclusively that applicant did not contract said marriage in order to obtain a pension, (g) Furnish photographs of children, with evidence of 49 reputable witnesses to prove paternity. If applicant is childless, satisfactory evidence of the reasons therefor must be furnished. (h) Furnsh photographs of deceased, showing his performance of duty in any battle in which he participated; this exhibit must be accompanied by the affidavits of at least 10 comrades, establishing that wounds received in said battle were not so received with the intention of obtaining pension for applicant. (i) Furnish history of each soldier who served from the state in which de- ceased enlisted. If decased was draft- ed, furnish certified copies of election returns showing election of officers of municipality serving at time draft was made ; also history of the town hall. (j) If it is claimed that deceased died of consumption contracted during ser- vice, furnish embalmed section of left lung. If claims of death from Bright's disease similarly contracted, furnish X-ray photographs of kidneys and toe joints. (k) Furnish certified copies of all books in public library nearest to home of applicant. (1) Furnish conclusive evidence show- ing how long the deceased would have lived if he had not served in the war. (m) Furnish evidence showing pres- ent residence of the deceased. Hear- say testimony on this point will not be considered. Cholera Infantum. This has long been regarded as one of the most dangerous and fatal dis- eases to which infants are subject. It can be cured, however, when properly treated. All that is necessary is to give Chamberlain’s Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy and castor oil, as directed with each bottle, and a cure is certain. For sale by E. H. Miller. Jorn WANAMAKER says it is poor policy for a merchant to reduce his ad- vertising space during the dull season of the year. Mr. Wanamaker says that is the time to increase the advertising, and?a little thinking will convince most people that such is the case. What would we think of a miller who would tear out his dam when the water is low? FAYETTE county wants the Congres- sional nomination and also the Sena- torial nomination of its district. In fact Fayette county wants to act the hog, and for that reason it should be given neither one of the nominations it is after. A county that is largely Hun- garian and starves its school teachers should not be quite so ambitious for public office. In Saltlick township, over in Fayette county, the school board has fixed school teachers’ wages at $27.00 per month. Yet the benighted county of Fayette is setting up the claim that it should be allowed to name the Repub- lican nominee for Congress in the new 23d district, composed of Somerset, Fayette and Greene. Fayette is a great county for coke ovens, smoke, dirt, filth, Dagos, Slavs, Hungarians, low wages for school teachers, illiter- acy and moonshine whisky, but it is not the kind of a county to choose a congressman from. That honor should be given to Somerset county, where most of the people are native born, have a pood common school education and furnish the large Republican ma- jorities. Very Remarkable Cure of Diar- rhoea. “About six years ago for the first time in my life I had a sudden and severe attack of Diarrhoea,” says Mrs. Alice Miller, of Morgan, Texas. “I got temporary relief, but it came back again and again, and for six long years I have suffered more misery and agony than I can tell. It was worse than death. My husband spent hundreds of dollars for physicians’ prescriptions and treatment without avail. Finally we moved to Bosque county, our pres- ent home, and one day I happened to gee an advertisement of Chamberlain’s Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy with a testimonial of a man who had been cured by it. The case was so similar to my own that I concluded to try the remedy. The result was won- derful. I could hardly realize that I was well again, or believe it could be so after having suffered so long. but that one bottle of medicine, costing but a few cents, cured me.” For sale by E. H. Miller. How Saving Gives Strength and Independence. It goes without saying that the man who is not provident and does not lay up for a rainy day has not the first ele- ment of advancement. He needs to learn of his little neigh- bors, the squirrels and the bees. There comes a time when one’s savings are needed, and there also comes a time when they are not only needed, but be- come a storehouse from which he may use the energies which he has accumu- lated. The accumulation of savings elimi- nates the fear of want and gives con- sciousness of strength. The possessor of savings, however small, knows that he has something to fall back upon. The army.that has no commissary in the rear has but little energy to give to the fight in front.—John D. Hicks. No False Claims. The proprietors of Foley’s Honey and Tar do not advertise this as a ‘“‘sure cure for consumption.” They do not claim it will cure this dread complaint in advanced cases, but do positively as- sert that it will cure in the earlier stages and never fails to give comfort and relief in the worst cases. Foley’s Honey and Tar is without doubt the greatest throat and lung remedy. Re- fuse substitutes. E. H. Miller. Mr. Cunningham Resigns. J. S. Cunningham, of Moxham, has resigned his position as superintendent of the Berwind-White Coal Mining Company’s operations at Windber and is is now in West Virginia in the inter- est of Mr. Berwind, the company hav- ing extensive operations in that state. Mr. Cunningham’s resignation went into effect July 8, and he is succeeded by Charles S. Sharpless, who for sever- al years had been assistant superin- tendent at Windber. While Mr. Cun- ningham has resigned from the office cf superintendent at the Somerset coun- ty coal town, he still retains the posi- tion of counsulting engineer of the operations there. He will not re- move his family from this city, a fact which hundreds of friends will be glad to learn.—Johnstown Democrat. eet lt Foley’s Honey and Tar Beals lungs and stops the cough. The College Man Must Start at the Bottom. The college man must start at the bottom. One reason why political men are at the head of organization is be- cause the college man depends too much on his diploma. The college man who will not start at the bottom will be outstripped by those he finds fault with. The worst thing a college man can do is to start in life with influence. Nothing will do him so much injury. Never ask your friends to help you. Get a position yourself, for if you ae- complish anything they will receive all the credit. Be energetic. Make mis- takes if you must, but keep working. People will respect you for it. Act,and act first. Be interested in your work. Be assured that success is not won by chance. You never saw a man out of whose record you could not pick the incident that made him successful. Be original. Do not follow the beaten path. Yom will thereby attract attention and wim promotion. The business of the country must be continued under organization. Trusts cannot be stopped. One thing that stands in the way of their success is competent men to manage them. Here is a chance for trained young men. Ability is now sought everywhere. Capitalists bemoan the lack of it. Be honest. Don’t find fault. Work where you are placed. Be thorough. Be original. —Charles M. Schwab. When Other Medicines Have Failed take Folkey’s Kidney Cure. It has cured when everything else has disap- pointed. E. H. Miller. He Wandered to the Grog Shop. I wandered to the grog-shop Tom, X stood before the bar, and drank a bowl} of lemonade, and smoked a rank cigar; the same old kegs and jugs were there, the ones we used to know, when we were on the round-up, Tom, some fif- teen years ago. The bar-keep is a new one, Tom, the one who used to sell cor- rosive tanglefoot to us, is stoking now in H—alifax; the new one has a plate- glass front, his hair is combed quite low, he looks just like the one we knew, some fifteen years ago. Old Soaks came up and called for booze, and dudelets staggered in, and burned the lining from their throats with fine old Holland gin; and women stood out- side the door, their faces seamed with woe, and wept just as they used to weep, some fifteen years ago. I asked about our old-time friends, those cheer- ful, sporty men, and some were in the poor house, Tom, and some were in the pen ; and one—the one we liked the best —the hangman laid him low ; the world is much the same, dear Tom, as fifteen years ago. I asked about that stately chap, whom pride marked for its own; he used to say that he could drink, or let the stuff alone; he perished of the James H. James, out in the storm and snow ; ah, few survive who used to bow} some fifteen years ago. New crowds line up against the bar, and call for crimson ink, new hands are trembling as they pour the stuff they shouldn’t drink; but still the old watch word rings: “The round’s on me, you know !” The same old cry of doom we heard, some fifteen years ago. I wandered to the churchyard, Tom, and there I saw the graves, of those who used to drown themselves in red fermented waves; and there were women sleeping there, where grass and daisies grow, who wept and died of broken hearts, some fifteen years ago. And there were graves where children slept, have slept for many a year, forgetful of the woe that marked their short, sad journey here ; and neath a fine, tall monument, in peace their lieth low, the man who used to sell the booze, some fifteen years ago.— Walt Mason.
