Tenth Street. INiilntlelphla. "But. my, health was everything I had consulted all the physicians in this city, of prominence and there are many of them but all their prescriptions failed to give me any permanent relief. "My.

wife had previously used Paine's Celery Compound as a tonic, and she advised me to give it a trial. Before that time which was over a year ago I was greatly emaciated. You see what I am like now. Well, after the first week or so. I began to mend, and have continued to get better, until now I declare myself a well man.

I will eheerfully answer 'ail queries that may te sent me on the health-giving and nerve-restoring properties of this invaluable tonic," Work and worry will reduce a man to a sorry plight, be he a. bank president or a farmhand, in either case he finds a fountain of fresh strength in Paine's Celery Compound. Every town contains scores of people who know of this, not from printed testimony, but from personal experience.

Hence so many articles telling how Paine's Celery Compound purifies the blood, tones and streng- thens the nerves, improves the digestion and so lengthens life, while imparting that bodily energy and buoyancy without 'which life is scarcely worth living, I AI)HEV ROC11K. SOI One often hears the remark made by workingmen that the "boss" has an easy time of it; and all that he has to do is to look wise and give orders. But such Is not always Hie case. Take that of Andrew B. Roche, a master mason and con-j tractor, of f4 South Tenth street.

Philadelphia, for instance. He has led as easy, a life as most men of his business, yet' his path was not always; strewn with roses. In fact, the near-; est he came to roses, many times, were the thorns, which left no uncertain marks upon him. He says he owes not only health, but competence, to Paine Celery Compound. Yet he has labored lontr and assid-i uously at his trade and as master, The result was that by overworking himself he, by the loss of most lost the fortune he was' enabled to lay.

by for the solace of his old age and the comfort of his family. He would doubt have done so, as he himself says, had it not been for one thing. Of that he speaks as "No man can adequately, express the feelings which I endured for the past seven years," began Mr. Roche. "By hard work, long hours" and exposure to all sorts of weather, at all, seasons of the year, I lost my health.

I My entire nervous system was out of i order, and instead of getting better! I grew worse. This was followed by a severe attack of kidney complaint, for nothing would relieve. This state of affairs continued for years. The result was that I was rapidly becoming a wreck. My business suffered to such an extent, through my inability to attend to it.

that I was apprehensive of losing 'everything I possessed.

I "Majesty," by Louis Couperus, the Dutch novelist, translated by A. Teix- i eira De Mattos and Ernest and published by D. Appleton isew Jnrk, is a novel which, must be critically measured by bearing in mind, the audience to which it is addressed.

Primarily it appeals to an audience made up of the reigning families of Europe and to those persons whose long-established privilege it has been to approach more or less nea'r to the throne, to all who in any contest between! the privileged classes and the people would sympathize with and act foi the former. Secondarily, it is an attempt to bring the throne and the people nearer together, to explain to the people the peculiar responsibilities and dangers which are imposed upon all kings and tjueens and heirs apparent. With these purposes in view the writer has created a kingdom which does not differ materially from Russia, Italy or Austria or Spain. In this imaginary kingdom of Liparia there is ever present the danger of revolution kept down by the strong hand of King Oscar. His queen.

Elizabeth, has schooled herself to repress under a mask of hauteur her constant fear of physical harm to the king, or i to the crown prince Othomar. or to her younger son. Beranger. Nor is her concealed terror without founda-! tion. for.

while a ball is in progress at the castle the King's apartments are blown up with dynamite. Never-1 theless, the King desires that the ball shall go on and to the Queen is for-j bidden the giving way to the natural Instincts of motherhood and the oppor-; tunity to weep tears of joy over her sleeping boy's escape from destruction. 1 The mature crown prince is not a man of action and decision like his father but a doubter, a philosopher, given to speculation upon the unde-; sired position in which fortune has thrown him. He is made unhappy by the misery of the lower He reads the books of anarchists. He falls ill and desires to abdicate in favor of his younger brother.

He tells his father, the Emperor, of his intentions and the Emperor, wild with rage, exclaims, "You damned cub!" "You nincompoop," and then explains to the crown prince why his wish to abdicate cannot be indulged in. Othomar tries to shoot himself, so anxious is he to escape becoming King, and then his brother Beranger dies. By Beranger's bier Othomar comes to understand that his life had been ordered for him by a higher power that it could not be as he himself would have It. He recognizes the hand of God and makes no further protest against accepting- the throne. In the same spirit Othomar and Valerie are married and when the fate long dreaded by the Queen overtakes the Emperor thev assume the burden of sovereignty.

For them life has become a duty, in the performance of which' they sink their personal tastes and desires. IJTEHARV KOTR. "The Pacific Railway Debts" is the subject of a paper by Mr. R. T.

Col-burn, published by the American Academy of Political and Social Science. The first installment of bonds issued to the Central Pacific Railroad matured on January 1( last, and during the next four years, but chiefly in the remaining installments fall due. Not only have the companies failed to collect enough to pay off the principal, but they have even failed to pay a great part of the annual so that now the Central and Union Companies owe the government about or twice the original loan of the attractive and handsome Easter numbers so popular among readers of magazines and papers. "The Youth's Companion" excels in -appropriateness -to the season and in the exceptional of its reading matter. "The Story of a Statue." by the Marquis of Lome, prepared for "The Companion" In collaboration with the Princess Louise, is an article of rare interest.

"Dorothy's Easter" and "A Corner in Eggs" are two typical Kaster stories, well worth twice reading. "The Romance of a 'Shoal," an adventure story by W. Clark Russell, would be hard to duplicate. Each one of the entire colleetton of stories deserves special mention, and with miscellany, poetry, collected in this one issue is worth the price of the paper for the entire year. The smallest English dictionary published in the world is the "Mite Dictionary," published by.

Frederick A. Stokes Company, New York. It contains 3.S4 pages, 15.JKM) words, weighs forty-four grains, and the print is so small that it cannot be read without the aid of a microscope. An edition of this dictionary has also been published in England, where it has an Immense popularity, copies of it having been sold within the last year. The next book by W.

Clark Russell, the famous writer of tales of the sea, will be "The Phantom Death, and Other Stories." This volume will be published in the "Twentieth Century Series," by Frederick A. Stokes Company, about May 1, and contains eleven of the best of Mr. Russell's short stories. Mrs. Humphry Ward begins the only serial that she has ever contributed to a magazine in Scribner's for May.

It is entitled "The Story of Bessie Costrell," and will run through the May. June and July issues. It depicts life among the poor English farm laborers in an inland county. George Meredith has never before written of life in the slums of London which will make more surprising the chapter in the May Scribner that gives a glimpse of the Whitechapel region of London. The prize-fighting episode in "The Amazing Marraige" is one of the best pieces, of description that the author has recently accomplished.

Messrs. Lovell, Coryell of New York, have added to the service which this firm rendered a year ago to the religious world in the issue of an Easter edition of Cunningham Geikie's "Life of Christ." by the issue this season of a specially attractive Easter edition of Canon Farrar's "Life of Christ" a work characterized by great literary charm, as well as devotional fervor and first-rate scholarship. The issue of new editions of these deservedly popular works shows the intense interest, which, in spite of the malady of doubt ever prevalent in the age, is still felt in theology generally, and the special craving for a vivid and Intimate knowledge of the founder of the Christian religion from modern literary sources, distinguished alike by acute criticism and learned research.

He would then withdraw! leaving his assistant behind mm to give all the explanations that might be demanded. On other occasions the Empress, who possessed a gfeat deal of taste, would send for him to discuss the various fashions whlcn he had laid before her Bnt he would rarely change his mind, and It was almost impossible to obtain from him the slightest modification In bis dresses. As a rule, it was the sovereign who had to submit to the will of the mandressmaker.

When the try-Ing-on came, he was ushered into the presence of, her Majesty as soon as she had put. on the dress, At a glance he detected the slihgtest imperfection, and Instructed his assistant how to remedy it. He would never allow the Empress fo wear a costume the effect of which was not what he expected. A curious anecdote on this point i related by the "Gaulois." The Cotn-tesse de Montljo, mother of the Empress, was always a strict observer of court ceremony, and it "was Worth who had the- making of her dresses. She ordered them "decollete," and being afraid of eatching cold, she wore a kind of transparent "maillot" to protect her arms and shoulders.

Five thousand people witnessed the opening of Franklin Fifld. the new-athletic grounds of the University of Pennsylvania, at Thirty-third and Spruce streets, yesterday afternoon. It was a typical college crowd and the largest -that ever attended a track meeting in this city.

The spacious grand stand was appropriately dpcked with flags and streamers, while from every quarter could be heard the challenging slogans of the college boys. Far more-attractive-to the athletes on the in front were the hundreds and hundreds of pretty girls, adorned In all their spring finery, with bright pparkling eyes, -nd cheeks flushed with excitement they cheered their favorites on to victory. A better day could not have been furnished had the weather forecaster made it to order. The sun shone forth bright and warm, and although there was a slight breeze, it was not of sufficient strength to interfere materially with the runners. A SLOW TRACK.

The only drawback to the sports was a slow track. It had just been built, and although a steam roller had been working on It for the last two or three days, it was still very soft. The runners managed to get along all right, but for the bicycle riders it was downright hard labor. The sports consisted in the regular handicap games of the University of Pennsylvania, in conjunction with relay races between all the prominent Eastern college teams, excepting Yale and Princeton, who did not accept the Quakers' invitation.

The members of the bar who sought to have at least one, op, if possible, two judges added to Court as at present constituted, were more than surprised yesterday afternoon when the action of the Board of Judges was announced. Various theories are advanced for the course pursued, one being that the jurists wished to make the High License law, so far as they are compelled to follow it, so odious that the Legislature will, at its present make such changes as will take the labor from the bench and give it to an Excise Commission. The rejection of the memorial of the bar was n6t dreamed of. It is known that the adverse decision was not reached until after a long and heated discussion among the judges, lasting two hours and a half, and that there were some rather exciting remarks that would not be wise i to make public. The board met in I Common Pleas Court room, No.

4, at noon. Therv were present Judges i Biddle, Sulzberger Pennj-packer, Fin- letter, Gordon Reed, Thayer, Arnold and Willson, the absentees being Judges Allison, Hare and Bregy. -The proceedings, being made public save as to actual results, are lacking in details, but at the conclusion of the meeting Judge Arnold said the following had been adopted: Resolved, That the principles heretofore, followed by the courts of Quarter Sessions sitting for the consideration of applications for licenses, and as promulgated by Judge Thayer at the session of the present court and concurred In bv Judge Hare, meets with the approval of tnts board. Second. That as neither the law" nor any present exigency requires the assignment of additional judges tto the court for the hearing of applications for licenses, it Is, in the judgment of this board, inexpedient to make any new assignment.

If anything further be done in the matter by the members -of the bar it was said yesterday afternoon that it would be by petition to the Legislature. A FIGHT FOK LAW BOOKS. Exciting Contest Between I Irate Hnehrs and O'Brien. The numerous friends of Magistrates O'Brien and Hughes are at i present warmly interested in a set of law books, which will go to one or the other, when a voting contest is ended some time during the middle of. May.

The contest will be the most interesting and the most exciting feature of a grand which will be held In Mancil's Hall, Sixty-third and Vine The fair will be for the benefit of the Churcbr of Our Lady of the Rosary, and will be upon a very elaborate scale.

To the great disappointment of thu thousands of admirers of the red and blue the race resulted in a very onesided victory for Harvard. Vincent was off like a flash the Instant George Turner fired the pistol, and soon had gained a good lead over Warren, the Pennsylvania representative, leading him by lO yards at the first lap.

Orton was the next runner for the Quakers, and they confidently expected the American champion-to make this up, but short distance running is not George's forte, and Hollister opened up a wide gap. When Hollister tagged Bremer, the latter had a good 40 j-ards start, and Freeman was unable to keep within hailing distance of the fleet sprinter of Cambridge. Bremer increased his lead over Freeman to SO yards at the tape, and then Captain Bingham shot out for the crimson. Ernie Ramsdell was Pennsylvania's last man, and the intercollegiate champion ran like a greyhound, but the task was too great, and the best he could do was to partly close up the breach. Harvard winning by Oyards in 8 minutes seconds very fair time when the slow track is taken into consideration.

A VERY CLOSE RACE. The prettiest race of the day was between Rutgers and Swarthmore, in "which the Jerseymen won by the narrowest of margins. Glum took the for Swarthmore, but Van Arsdale caught him at the stretch and came in 10 feet ahead. Parsons and Sullivan had a hot race all the way around, the latter getting the better of it at the tape and tagging Case 15 feet in front of Sullivan. He "ge, the Swarthmore man, cut this lead down to an even -thing.

Clothier and Cooper got away almost together on the last lap. Coming into the stretch Cooper forged to the front and by a magnificent spurt fin-isned ii feet ahead of the- Swarthmore man. He was carried off the track by the overjoyed collegians from New Brunswick. The sprinters of the College of the City of New York were much more fleet of fo6t than their rivals from the University of New York, and they won very handily by 4t yards. Lafayette scored a victory over her old rival, Lehigh.

This was another surprise, as the Bethlehemites were confident of success. The Lafayette men are all members of the base ball team and three of them are football players. They don't have very many athletes at Easton, but what they do have are crack-a-jacks and they work them hard. Clarke, a freshman, showed surprising good form as a runner, and he finished the last lap eighty yards in front of Gass. of Lehigh.

The race between Cornell and Columbia resulted in a regular procession for the Ithaca men. The New Yorkers were never In the chase, and they were beaten by nearly a hundred yards.

The Penn Charter School, however, was somewhat handicapped, owing to Jones, their best man, taking sick, and Thorpe, the captain, being unable to compete. The last academic race was an exciting one, and one. of the most interesting of the school series, Episcopal Academy winning from DeLancey in a close contest.

When about 1M yards from the finish Oglesby, of DeLancey, who was leading, fell exhausted on the track, and Gumbes ran in ahead.

Potter retires from command of the Naval Home there will pass into private life, one of the men who, by bravery and attention to duty, helped to make the American Navy what it is to-day. Commodore Potter is the senior on the list at present, having forty-five years of active service to his credit. On February 5, 1S5(. he was appointed a midshipman for Illinois, first serving in the sloop-of-war Decatur, of the Home Squadron. Then in the historic old frigate Constitution he made a cruise to the coast of Africa, being commissioned a lieutenant in 1S5S.

In IStjl he was ordered to the I Wissahickon, and in the great battle of i the Mississippi, that led to the capture of New Orleans, he was one of Farra-! gut's most trusted officers.

In PS0! he was made commander and given charge of the navy yard at Bos ton. One of the memorable events In Commodore Potter's life occurred a few years later, when he took the Shawmont up the Orinoco River to Ciudad Bolivar, where lie recovered two steamers that had been captured by revolutionists. This was considered a great feat.

The Orinoco River is a stream difficult to navigate, aind the Shawmont was the second boat of its type to accomplish the feat. In I lJSSO he was made a captain and was in command of the Constellation, which conveyed a cargo of supplies to the famine sufferers of Ireland. One of Commodore Potter's treasures to-day is a certificate presented to him on that trip at Dublin. During the years LSM-Ki he was attached to the Brooklyn Navy Yard, and in November, went to the European Squadron as captain of the Lancaster. From 1SS5 to 1SSG he commanded the Brazil Station, coming home to take command of the League Island Navy Yard.

Soon afterwards he was transferred to the Naval Home and subsequently he took charge in turn of the training ship. Minnesota and the Norfolk Navy Yard. From the latter place he was transferred to the Naval Home In this city, where he has been ever since.
