One of 'the surest tests of the health making capabilities of Paine's celery compound is the rapid increase in weight and the increased ruddiness of the blood that invariably follows use. It clears the skin, makes the excretory, purifying functions, performed by the bowels, kidneys and tne skin, regular and thorough. The improvement in looks from taking this great restorative is not a mere matter of idle vanity, but the sign of healthier processes all over tho body.

Many a parent, wife and husband have watched with growing surprise and joy some listless, white blooded, feeble relative giiuing, under the help of Paine's celery compound, flesh, color and WuOlesome ness of mind and body. Not oniy ruere a decided gain in the general health from the use of Paine's celery compound, but such disorders as sick headaches, rheumatism, neuralgia, kidney disease anil nervous debility invariably yield to the vigorous building up of the health that this great remedy never fails ir bring about. Increased appetite, ready capacity to dl ges't fojd and tine final cure of stomacfn disorders, bowel difficulties and nervous derango ment follow too use of Paine's celery compound. As a pruden't man insures 'nis house against a contingency of fire, however remote, so per srns feeling "run down" and tired should take precau tions against serious breaking down in health by building up securely the streng ci and vigor of t'he entire system by means ol Paine's celery compound.

(Special to the Eagle.) Riverhead, L. November 17 Mrs. Lydia Wood, an elderly woman of A'quebogue, a village three miles east of this place found at the bottom of a deep well on the premises of Oliver Downs, a near neighbor, in Aque bogue yesterday, standing in water about even with her arm pits. It is supposed that the woman suddenly became demented and attempted suicide by Jumping into the well. Just when the leap was made it is not definitely known, bnt it is supposed to bave occurred sometime late in the afternoon of Monday.

The woman was chilled through and through by her long stay in the well, and it is sai3 that her chances for recovery are slim. Mr. Downs was passing by the place, heard the woman's groans and began looking around to see where the sounds came from. Finally peering into the well he beheld her standing upright in the bottom. He at onoe procured a rope, made a noose in the end, and with the assistance of other neighbors whom he summoned, quickly had the woman on terra firma.

J. Franklin Howell, father of Mrs. Wood, has for some time past been quite ill and she has been attending him in Mb illness, and it is supposed that the overwork and worry unbalanced the woman's mind. A peculiar coincidence in connection with Mrs. Wood's attempt to commit suicide is the fact that nearly every one of the women members of her family for generations back have committed suicide.

Her mother and sister both committed suicide by jumping in the well from which Mrs. Wood waa taken yesterday. It was only a few years ago that her mother tied her head up securely in a blanket shawl and went to Mr. Down's place, which is Just across the way, and dove head first into the well. Three years ago a sister of Mrs.

Wood's mother committed suicide by hanging herself with a clothesline from a beam in the garret of the residence of Chauncey Howell in Matti tuck. Her grandmother committed suicide by hanging and her great grandmother ended her life in a like manner. A sister recently died in an asylum for the insane. Mrs. Wood is very well known in Riverhead.

where she has been employed as saleslady in Glover's music store for some years. THE ONLY SON A WRECK. Orient, L.

Large schools of cod Close of the Kings County Twentieth Annual Convention. INTERESTING TOPICS TREATED. Dr. Meredith Says a Few Words Which Cause Many Women Delegates to Declare They Have Pastors Who Never Tire Addresses by the Revs. A.

H. McKinney, Cornelius Woelfkin and Others. Tho afternoon session of the twentieth annual convention of the Kings County Sunday School Union began at 1:45 o'clock yesterday, it having been decided to give an additional quarter hour to the Rev. W. I.

South erton to still further explain the home department work. An Interested listener to the proceedings was A. A. Smith, the first president ol the Kings County Sunday School Union and first president of the Young Men's Christian Association. "Onward, Christian Soldiers," was sung, prayer was offered by Thomas H.

Stewart of Peekskill and President Logan introduced Silas M. Glddings, president of the Brooklyn Sunday School Union, who made the report lor that organization. He said there were 182 Sunday schools In the union, an increase of 10 during the year. In which there were 82,054 scholars. The union has forty eight managers from the various evangelical denominations of the city.

E. E. Robertson, president of the Greenpoint Sunday School Asociation, said that body included 17 Sunday schools, 500 officers and teachers and 4,500 scholars. He also referred to the social conference which had been very successful. Another was to be held on Wednesday, November 24.

Robert Moore, former secretary of the Brooklyn (Eastern District) Association, reported 44 schools. In which 12 denominations are represented. There had been a decrease of one school on account the dlsbandment of Grace Mission. Ther are 16,155 total enrollment of Sunday school scholars, with an average attendance of 9,620. The Rev.

Dr. R. J. Kent, pastor of the Lewis Avenue Congregational Church, was then introduced to speak on the general copic of "The Sunday School," his special division being, "The Relation of the Pastor to the Sunday School." Dr. Kent seemed xo stir things up a little by some of the things he eald.

He declared that it was the duty of a pastor to do all he conscientlouslly could to promote the success of his school. The character of the school had much to do with determining what the relations ought to be. "There are pasters and pastors," Dr. Kent said. "Some pastors have un exaggerated head and a weak body, are not strong in their nerve centers.

The best service they can render Is to go to bed after the morning service and stay there until time for the evening service. There are other pastors who can conduct three services on Sunday without difficulty. Some pastors are and the less they have to do with Sunday school the better, and the less they have to do with church the better. They are in the wrong place altogether unless they have good wives to keep them in balance. It lis not so much the duty of the pastor to teach a claes as it its to advise in all departments of the school.

He is no't only pastor cl the church, but of the school, and he should be advised with as to the choice of teachers; he can talk to the fathers and mothers from the pulpit. The Sunday school is not the nursery of the church; it is only the church ritudying the scriptures. With the choice of good teaohere, under a consecrated superintendent, with the pastor as an adviser, great things can be done to make Sunday schools successful." At this point the discussion of the topic was thrown open to 'the delegates and there seemed to be a rivalry among the women as to who should get up first to declare that her paster was the best in the city, had a class in Sunday school, was superintendent when that officer was absent and that he never tired. Dr. Meredith said that he wanted to say just a word.

"The pastor" of the Tompkins Avenue Congregational Church hasn't any class in the Sunday school and he wouldnt have any. He has bo many interests pressing upon him that he cannot lose sight of any. He is the pastor of che whole church and, as has been said, it is enough for the pastor of the Tompkins Avenue Church, In his opinion, to do all be conscientiously can for the Sunday school." President Glddings took issue with this statement, saying that he hoped if any pastor had the Idea that it was not his duty to be in the Sunday school he should disabuse his mind of it at once, for if he did not attend Sunday school he was sure to lose a blessing. The pastor is as much responsible for the school as for the church. Many delegates rose to their feet to tell of the work of their ministers, and Vice President McKee declared he was glad to know there were so many Ideal pastors in the city, and said a kind word for the Rev.

Dr. L. R. Foote, pastor of the church to which he belonged, tho Throop Avenue Presbyter Ian, who, he said, was In touch with everything. Including the Sunday school.

William Smith, formerly a missionary of the State Association In Ulster County, spoke for the congratulations of the union of that county, and A. A. Smith, mentioned above, told the early history of the Kings County Association, of which he was president from 1857 to 1867, having helped form the association, being on the board from 1845 to 1852. He also paid a tribute to A. D.

Matthews, whose absence was regretted on account of illness. Mr. Smith had been president of the State Association three times, taking up Sunday school work in 1834 and leaving it twenty or twenty one years ago to tako up ministerial work in the mountain districts. He said he was over 80 years old and felt as active and well as ever he did in his life. The next division of the topic was "The Relation of the Parent," tho discussion of which was to have been opened by the Rev.

Dr. Jorph T. Duryea, pastor of the First Churoh, Bedford and Clymer street. President Logan said a letter had been received stating that he was ill with a oold and not able to attend. The iscusslon was opened by the Rev.

W. F. Sllleck. recently of the Brighton Beach Chapol, who said that the relation of the parent to the Sunday school was a vital one. The parents, he said, could not have much influence on the tendency of children to go to Sunday school if they went out on their bicycles on Sunday and left the children to take care of themselves, or if the Sunday newspapers monopolized their morning attention.

The subject was generally discussed along several lines, and after singing a hymn, led by the Rev. W. I. Southerton, the "Relation of the Teachers," another division of the topic, was taken up by the Wilbent C. Biake man, pastor of the Lenox Road M.

E. Church. He said the relation or the teacher to the Sunday school was the relation of a part to the whole. It was. In his opinion, the most vital thing in Sunday school work, this relation of the teacher to the class.

The parent may fall to do his duty toward his children and the school, but If the teacher falls the school must top. Mr. Blakeman emphasized tnree tnings as necessary to successful teaching, ideas, Impressions and habits. He declared that the Sunday school was not the children's church, nor the nursery of tho church only so far as It shall lead the children to the clrurch and not out of the school when a certain age is reached. Discussion followed.

David B. Hixon spoke on "The Relation of the Primary Department," and said that the importance of the primary department lay in three directions. It was important because in it is formed a like or dislike for Sunday school attendance; because in it children get their first complete idea of God, and receive the fullest knowledge of the Bible they can get anywhere or at any time ot life. W. Winans Freeman, former president of the Brooklyn Christian Endeavor Union, opened discussion on "The Relation of the Young People's Societies." saylnc; that between the ycung ople's societies and' the Sunday schools there should exist a treaty rj the utmost reciprocity.

"Sunday schools need teachers," he said, "no school being usually blessed with a surplus, and there is no field more fruitful for the training of energetic and effective teachers than the young people's societies'." The Rev. H. S. Purl, a former missionary in the Punjaub, India, the Row Richard Henry Poynter of Elstow, England, pastor of Moot Hall, Bunyan's old church, and Ezoklel Tam inosian, of Antioch, Syria, were Invited to sit as corresponding members and introduced to the convention. Vice President Russell W.

McKee read a minute concerning the death ot William Rey for lights was collected by tax. The assocla tion now proposes to have $4,500, the balance of this amount, refunded to the taxpayers. The Town of Hempstead also owes the fire depart I ment $1,700 collected for fire tax, and on behalf oi tne local department tne association has taken steps to recover that amount. Messrs. Charles A.

Schilling, Charles Crabbe, Remington Vernam and John A. Carle were appointed a special committee in the matter. A special election Is being held in this village this afternoon for the purpose of voting on an appropriation of $5,000 for the purpose of paying the salaries, maintenance and expenses of a village police force.

November 17 Alonzo Tuthill of this place became violently insane Monday night and caused quite a sensation in the village by suddenly attacking William Morrell, grabbing him about ten throat. Tut Emma Calve has attained a success unprecedented in the annals of lyric art. To repeat the story of her triumph Is needless.

Her superb voice, her fascinating half oriental dances, her caressing gestures, her black eyes. Irresistible mirth these, and the Indescribable something more, make up the dazzling personation by which the artist has made her name famous in every part of the world. Her marvelous artist temperament has made her a great actress, but this brings its own price, and as great hearts know great griefs, great temperaments" must know great nervous strain, consequently there are periods of nervous prostration and unfulfilled engagements when impatient audiences are apt to forget these extenuating circumstances. Calve's absolute reliance on Paine's celery compound at all such times of low nervous energy appears in the following letter: Boston, March, 1807. I am convinced that Paine's celery compound is the greatest nerve strengthener that can be obtained.

I can vouch for its wonderful health giving power. EMMA CALVE. Every great change for the worse in health is in most cases at once betrayed by a loss of weight and a pinched thinning of the face. On the other hand, a gain in weight, up to a certain point, goes hand in hand with an improvement In all other eosentials of health, and notably an improvement in the color and amount of the blood. nolds, chairman of the Sunday school missionary work in tho United States, and of the international lessons' committee.
