Dear Sirs.—1 have been a tobacco fiend for many years, and during the past two years
have smoked fifteen to twenty cigars regularly every day. My whole nervous system
became affected, until my physician told me I must give up the use of tobacco for the
time being, at least. I tried ihe so-called "Keeley Cure, "No-To-Bac," and various
other remedies, but without success, until I accidentally learned of your "Baco Curo."
Three weeks ago today I commenced using yonr preparation, aud today I consider myself completely cured; I am In perfect health, and the horrible eravimr for tobacco, which
every inveterate smoker fully appreciates, has completely left me. I consider your
"B.ico-Curo'' simply wonderful, and can fully recommend it,        Yours very truly.

Concentrated thought, continued in, robs
the stomach of necessary blood, and this is
also true of hard physical labor.
When a five horse-power engine is made
to do ten horse-power work something is
going to break. Very often the hard-
worked man coming from the field or the
office will "bolt" his food in a few minutes which will take hours to digest Then
too, many foods are about as useful in the
stomach as a keg of nails would be in "a
fire under a boiler. The ill-used stomach
refuses to do its worfc without the proper
stimulus which it gets from the blood and
nerves. The nerves are weak and "ready
to break," because they do not get the
nourishment they require from the blood,
finally the ill-used brain is morbidly wide
awake when the overworked man attempts to find rest in bed.
The application of common sense in the
treatment of the stomach and the whole
system brings to the busy man the full enjoyment of life and healthy digestion when
ne takes Dr. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets to
relieve a bilious stomach or after a too
hearty meal, and Dr. Pierce's Golden
Medical Discovery to purify, enrich and
vitalize the blood. The " Pellets " are tiny
sugar-coated trills made of highly concentrated vegetable ingredients which relieve
the stomach of all offending matters easily
and thoroughly. They need only be taken
for a short time to cnre the biliousness,
constipation and slotllfulness, or torpor, of
the liver-; then the "Medical Discovery"
should be taken in teaspoonful doses to increase the blood and enrich it. It has a
pecnliar effect npon the lining membranes
of the stomach and bowels, toning up and
strengthening them for all time. The
whole system feels the effect of the pure
blood coursing through the body and the
nerves are vitalized and strengthened, not
deadened, or put to sleep, as the so-called
celery compounds and nerve mixtures do
—but refreshed and fed on the food they
need for health. If you suffer from indigestion, dyspepsia, nervousness, and any
of the ills which come from impure blood
and disordered stomach, you can cure
yourself with Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical
Discovery which can be obtained at any
drug store in the country.

Ha ve a liny Old Time at Blue mountain Honse Tripping the Light
Fantastic    and    Other
Routine Work.
Blue Mouhtain Rouse, July 11,1895.
—This morning at half past three o'clock
a party of twenty left the Blue Mountain
House to view the magnificent sunrise of
Mt. Quirauk which is not even second to
that of Mount Blanc, and as the orb of
day shot his first rays across the wonderful valley at the foot of the tourists an
exclamation of delight escaped the lips of
all. The clouds which floated in the sky
instead of diminishing, increased the
grandeur of the scuel and the recollections of that early morning vi -it to the
Summit of the Blue Ridge will be one of
the most pleasant memories of this eventful journey which those present will
carry back to their homes.
At nine o'clock President Stephens
rapped for order and the Baltimore College Glee Club rendered a selection. Dr.
S. Simpson, of Western Maryland College then delivered a paper on "The Eloquence of Matter."
After speaking oi the wonderful progress of scientific thought during the last
fifty years, and giving apt illustrations of
his position, he said:
"Pew words in our language are so
little understood as the word law. Many
speak of law as if it had life and energy
in it. Law is not force and it has no
coercive power.
A college governed by law does not
mean that there are certain stated rules
and regulations by which the college is
governed; but the real governing power
is tbe authority behind the law. The law
reveals tbe will of the power behind it.
So in nature, the laws of heat, light and
electricity reveal the will ot the Creator
and matter is the book in which that
will is written down and forces in Nature
are the original language.
Matter kept the secrets for ages for
want of a reader, but at last with many
tongues she publishes the truth, not in the
words which men speak, but in the alphabet of the toweling hills and babbling
brooks, the whistling winds and electric
currents, the burning lamp and clambering Jersamine.
"The study of these forces is not always an enchantment; the work here requires persevering devotion.but conquests
in physical science will pay the student a
thousand fold and lead in ' the ways of
God in nature. The path opening before
the student of science is broad and inviting, strewn with flowers and set with
gems of beauty, spanned by the rainbow
of promise writing victory over the arch
of coming years."
When science shall have harnessed the
kingdoms of nature under appropriate apparatus, when in answer to repeated ex
periments nature shall give up tbe secret
enchaining protean energy to plastic matter and put that energy under the control
of human will, then science will have accomplished her exalted mission, will have
led the nation into the enjoyment of what
ever blessings God designs to give through
the laws of matter, and will have proved
by scientific demonstration that the God
of nature is infinite in wisdom, omnipotent in power, and that he confers blessings upon his children according to the
laws of obedience.
In science civilization and religion, the
Anglo Saxon is the most splendid lace
that has developed out of the confused
tower Builders o f Babel. Of the Anglo
Saxon race, the most progressive division
is the American Rapnblic, in these United
States. The special characteristic ot
American mind is independency in
thought, and the chief distinction of
American thought is faith in God. A
thorough knowledge of man as he stands
before us in all language and literature; a
correct understanding of this universe as
it is expressed in the laws and forces of
nature, and an acceptance of God over all
as the giver of another life, higher and
richer, and enduring forever in undecay-
ing vigor."
The next number was a paper on "The
Teaching of Physiology in the Public
Schools," written by Dr. W. H. Howell of
Johns Hopkins University and in his
absence read by Dr. Ridgely B. Warfield
The majority of States in the union have
laws requiring the study of physiology in
the public schools and the learned doctor
believes the movement is a good one to a
certain degree, for what greater blessing
is tbere than a healthy body? If the body
is to be kept healthy, some Knowledge of
that body is imperative. It ia natural to
suppose that an intelligent being can
make better uses of his body in the numerous duties that devolve npon him in
proportion to his information regarding
his structure.
He believes however that a radical
change is needed. What is wanted is a
thorough knowledge of how to keep well
and the effects alcohol and tobacco in
their various forms should find a prominent place in the text books. The charts
so generally used are, in his opinion, not
needed, as they do not fill the bill.
Recent Pedagogic Enterprise furnished
Prof. S. E. Forman with the subject for a
very fine satire entitled "Paidology," He
went on to say "The professors of pedagogy in these latter days seem to be the
the busiest of scientific persons. Plans
are being formed tor ''paidological" investigation such as the world has neyer
before dreamed of; The northeast oor
ner ofthe republic has been converted into a vast laboratory for the study of the
child. Thousands of children have been
put into the hands of anthropometrists,
or paidometrists, byjwhom, weights, height
circumference, strength ot lung, size of
feet, type of nose, form of head, shape of
mouth, are all determined and written
down. Parents and ordinary teachers
haye been requested to aid in gathering
data and the response has been generous.
The leaders in this catholic scheme for
the complete study of the child have*
stated very fully and clearly their methods
of investigation, but what they are going
to do with the stupendous mass ' that is
gathering around them is not
so clear, "Paidology" is the science
of education plus a liberal use of the tape
line. And this is the science that is going
to revolutionize education!   Already tbe
truth has been that adenoid growths of
wax in the ears of children act unfavorable
upon hearing and therefore upon learning, already the figures make it certain
that precocious children are more likely
to be heavy than light. ' Upon this point,
however, we suspend judgment. Three
thousand children have been weighed for
precocity. Many millions more must be
put upon the 'scales before this point can
be definitely settled.
There is one feature of this enterprise
that fills the breast of the practical
teacher with alarm. These reformers
threaten to invade the school room. The
soul of the child as well as the soul of the
mau will always remain wrapped in profound mystery. You may weigh his body
land take the wax out of his ear but you
will not get his soul and if this is the goal
of the "paidologist" his labor is vain.
The child is an old institution and has
been studied a long time. Some things
have been found out about him, notably
this: just when you think you know him
you discover you dont.
The balance of the session was made
up of a paper by Miss Amanda D- Sauls-
bury, of Ridgely on Physical Education,"
another by Prof. D. M. Long, of Trappe,
on "How shall I Read'." and a third by
Prof. Julius Blume, of Baltimore on Instruction in Modern Languages.
The only address of the evening session
was delivered by Professor W. S. Crouse,
of St. Michaels, Md., on "The True Purpose of Teaching."   The speaker pointed out that in popular thought schools
and teachers have but one aim—the so-
called   utilitarian   or   practical.   Those
who have given the question close attention find two ends—the practical and the
cultured, but make the latter subordinate.
"The ever-present goal is physical well-
being, material advancement, money, influence    and     station.    The    common
school,  the    technical   school   are- industrial; the college and the university
are cultural.   The true purpose 'of teaching has relation to the intellectual side of
the learner.   Clear and sound thinking
on the part'of the pupil must be aimed at,
and, with skilful guidance, can be attained.
If the pupil takes his informant's word
a thing, he has the information and it is
possible the knowledge is useful to him.
But this method of gaining knowledge is
not  education.   The knowledge  should
have been gained by simple experiment-
Pacts should have been observed and inferences drawn and verified.   Knowledge
thus gained anfi thus held tends to intellectual training, and is essentially educational."   -
A resolution was passed asking that
the part ot the state law on physiology
which compels the use of a text book
published in Maryland be stricken out.
Another resolution touching upon
President M. Bates Stephens' address
pointed out the fact that the paper contained many suggestions that should be
adopted, and, like the papers ot Mr.
James a Pearce, wfll be published in the
annual report of the association.
At the close of the morning session the
delegates were given a rare musical treat
by Mrs. Albert Rayner, Mrs. Fitzgerald
Smith and Mrs. Harry Arnold, who are
guests at the hotel. Mrs. Rayner and
Mrs. Smith were in fine voice, and Mrs.
Arnold furnished the accompaniment.
Prof. Watson, of Queen Anne's county,
delighted the audience with three bass
solos at the evening session.
The elocutionary exercises by Miss
Brown were again highly artistic and
very much appreciated.
The election of officers then resulted as
follows:
President, Charles F. Raddatz, of the
Baltimore City College; first vice-president, J. T. Hutchins, Anne Arundel; second vice-president, John D. Worthington, Harford; recording secretary, Albert
F. Wilkerson, Baltimore city; corresponding secretary, Miss Lillian W. Barkdoll,
of Washington county; treasurer, Alexander Chaplain, Talbot; executive committee, Prof. E. B. Prettyman, Baltimore
city; E. L. Boblitz, Frederick; F. 8.
Erierist, Cecil; H. J. Handy, Worcester;
F. Eugene Wathen, Anne Arundel.
A selection by the Glee Club was followed by a dance and adjournment.
During the session resolutions were
passed thanking all who in any way assisted in making the convention the success it was and the press for the faithful
accounts of the convention published.

One of the most delightful social events
of the season took place last night at the
home of Mr. Bert Adams, on Church St.
The party was given by Miss Sallie
Shaffer in honor ot Mr. Ed. Fohl, and
Charley McCune, both of Lancaster
The evening was passed very pleasantly
in playing games and dancing, tbe music
being furnished by a portion of tbe
famous High School orchestra. The ladies were attired in beautiful costumes and
looked very charming. The house was
tastefully decorated witb roses, carnations
and ferns. At a late hour tbe doors of
the dining room were thrown open and
the party was ushered out, where the delicacies of the season were served in the
most tasteful style. After retreshments
were served and the guests were fayored
with more music the party wended their
ways homeward highly delighted with
the evening's event.

Fire Echoes.
In looking over the papers, it is learned
that only $2,200 of insurance was in
force on the buildings and plant destroyed, the balance ot $900, being on tbe
office, tbe furniture and building back of
the office. The loss on the burned buildings and machinery will therefore not be
more than half covered.
It was at first thought that the 1400
cases of fruit in the building would be
saved, but on examination it ia found to
be damaged so badly as to be unmarketable. The cases have not only been deluged with water and begrinned with
smoke, bnt the fruit itself has absorbed
the odor of the smoke and is nixcoomer-
ouse. It is a total loss and not fit for anything but fertilizing purposes. The Insurance of $2,500 on this will be more
than adequate to the loss.
The 600 cases removed from the building before the fire had intercepted the
work, have been shipped to a broker in
Baltimore, to be sold as the company direct.
The insurance adjusters are on the view
| today and as soon as their work is completed, the removal of the debris will go
forward.
It has been numerously asked whose
loss the W. & ff. box car is. Mr
Hiltabidle, train dispatcher of the Western Maryland says that the railroad code
is that tbe company in whose possession
or on whose tracks a burned or wrecked
car is, is responsible to the owner. Tbe
damages in such case are fixed by arbitration committee, composed of representatives of \he various lines. According to
thia the Western Maryland will have to
stand good for the burned car, as well as
the two flat can putty damaged. The
latter have been moved to the shops at
Union Bridge.

How to Cure Toursell While Using It.
The tobacco habit grows on a man until his nervous system is seriously affected, impairing health, comfort and happiness! To quit suddenly is too severe a
shock to the system, as tobacco, to an inveterate user becomes a stimulant that
his system continually craves. Baco
Curo is a scientific cure for thei tobacco
habit, in all its forms, carefully compounded after the formula of an eminent
Berlin Physician who has used it in his
private practice since 1872, without a
failure, purely vegetable and guaranteed
perfectly harmless. You can use all the
tobacco you want, while taking Baco-
Curo, it will notify you when to stop.
We give a written guarantee to permanently cure any case with three boxes, or
refund the money with 10 per cent, interest. Baco-Curo is rot a substitute, but a
scientific cure, that cures without the aid
of will power and with no inconvenience.
It leaves the system as pure and free
from nicotine as the day you took your
first chew or smoke, bold by all druggists, with our ironclad guarantee, at
$1.00 per box, three boxes, (thirty days
treatment,) $2.50 or sent direct upon receipt of priee. SEND SIX TWO-CENT

pounds as a ton of coal. Dealers who
sell less tban the required amount can
now be fined. In some parts of the state
dealers haye been giving only 2000 pounds
for a ton.
German Banding.
A Little German Band, from Newville
worked the town Friday. They played
well, but as Kramer,the cyclist, had taken
all the nickels and dimes, their collections
were poor. Asked whether they were
traveling back or front, the collector said
"both."
A Closed Valve.
The water agitation and conditions
prevailing for some time at Frick Co.'s,
mention of which was made herein the
other day, led yesterday to an examination of the various fire hydrants to ascertain where the cause of the low pressure
at the works lay. It was finally discovered at a valve on West Main, near the
Western Maryland depot. Here it was
found that the ei?ht-inch valve which
controls the water circulation in that section was almost entirely closed, scarcely
any water getting through and only fiye
pounds 'pressure in tbe mains beyond.
The water company authorities were in
ignorance as to the situation, hence the
difficulty. Care will henceforth be taken
to avoid any such accidents, for they
might be awfully costly in case of fire in
that section.
It was ascertained by Frick Co.'s inspector that the pressure was considerably below normal at other parts of town.

Fishing and fish
Not every fishing
albeit you never hear of one that does
not—they all have the same story. An
exception to the rule of faking and an instance of the genuine was that furnished
by Messrs. Samuel Hoeflich, UL 8. Kunkel and Mr. Wm. Beckner and son, who
angled the Antietam at Rock Forge yesterday. -They brought home fish, fish by
tbe bushel, fish by the wagon load; and
the only reason they left any iu the creek
was because they ran out of stringers.
They exhausted several ten foot stringers
and then bad to quit because they were
at the end ot their string. They sighed
for neighbor Washabaugh's half mile
stringer, but they were too far away to
mention it. Next time they will take a
coil of rope along and an extra hand to
reel it off as fast as it fills up.

After all, Kramer's trick cycling pales
before that ot Harry Oltenberger's as
witnessed Sunday last. The Thursday
before he got a new wheel, and Sunday,
having mastered the small business about
town sailed out in the country tor larger
conquests. It waa not long before an opportunity fully up tojhis heart's desire
presented. Going down the hill at Ben
Frick's he encountered a drove of cows.
To ride over the herd would be fame eter.
nal, and the end justified the effort. So
in he dashed. He had scaled the seat ot
the cow's intellect and was sailing serenely along the spinal cord, when all of a
sudden the cow elevated her round stakes
high in the air and down came the entire
superstructure in a promiscious heap.
The trick failed, tor want of co-operation
on the part of the cow. Had she acted
her part as beseemeth, the result would
have been different; going to show that
the whole performance depends on the
conduct of the cow. The'wheel is still at
the shop, but Harry vows that ft will
never get smashed up again just in that
way.

Rushed to Beath.
There is certainly no dearth in business
at the shops ofthe Geise r Manufacturing
Company. Orders are constantly being
refused and enough are now on hand to
keep the shops running 14 hours a day
for 30 days. So overwhelmed with business is the company that they don't know
which way to torn.
The Geiser Company wired its Roanoke
agent last week that they couldn't fill any
more orders for ten days. The agent
came oa to see about it, in the hope that
some relief might be had. This is aa Instance of the many showing to what extent the boom is booming on Geiser Hill.
John Takes a Tumble.
Friday a. m. as John Harbaugh, Frick
Oo.'s trusty messenger, was coming over
the crossing in front ot the Washington
House, his footing failed and left him
down pretty severely on the knee. It waa
some time before John could run the
bases.
