They are suited to every constitution, old and young, and, being sugar coated, aro agreeable to take.

Purely vegetable, they leave no ill effects, but strengthen and regulate the stomach, liver, and bowels, and restore every organ to its normal function. For use either at home or abroad, on land or sea, these Pills Are the Best. "Ayer's Pills have been used In my family over thirty years. We find them an excellent medicine in fevers, eruptive diseases, and all bilious troubles, and seldom call a physician. They are almost the only pill used in our neighborhood." Redmon C.

All the grounds in tne vicinity ot New York have been care fully inspected by the captains and managers ol the two elevens to avoid the trouble ex perienced last vear at the Berkeley Oval, where the field resembled a mire after a few minutes' play.

The management of Eastern Park were given twelve days to fill in the outfield, and as this has been satisfactorily done Kastern Park will be the scene of the struggle this year. The contract for Hamp ton Park at Springfield for tho Harvard gamp, November 22, was signed last Satur day by the managements ot the Harvard and Yale teams. A new grand stand will be built in the shajie of a three sided amphitheatre, to seat 9,000 people. Special trains will run to Springfield from Jicw Haven and Boston on the day of tho game. Prominent society people of Springfield will give a ball the night before the game, to which a num ber of Yale and Harvard undergraduates have been invited.

The Harvard Glee Club has also been invited to sing. The performances of the great trotting stallion Nelson have constituted a marvel of the year in tho racing world. Ho has been breaking records right and left and seems almost capable of handicapping Father Time. At Bangor, September 7 Nelson eclipsed Jay Eye See's world's record for a half mile track, doihg a mile in 2.14i against the pre viously standing 2.15A. He at that time did the quarter in .34, the half in 1.04, three quarters in 1.40.

In lSfS9 he had a record of 2.14i on a regular track; but on October 9 last, at Terrc Haute, trotting against Axtell time, 2.12, he did a mile in 2.11f.and within the next week past, at Cambridge City, and Richmond, on successive days he has fixed a new mark at 2.10J. His owner was prompted to push him to these last trials bv the news that Stamboul had trotted in 2.11. In his mile at Eichmond Nelson did the first half in 1.03, and this performance ho repeated on Thursday at Cambridge City. It has been inistakenlv announced that he has thus beaten all half mile records of stallion, mare, and gelding. In truth he is a second behind Maud half mile, made on the Chicago track, as will be seen by the following table of Maud regular record trotting performances up to the full mile At Providence, trotted quarter (second) O.HO' At Chicago, trotted half fmiddlel 1.02 At Cleveland, trotted three quarters 1.35' At Cleveland, trotted mile 2.08? Nelson's owner is confident that the stal lion can do a mile in 2.10, and it is not impossible that the present season will seo the accomplishment of this feat.

The phenomenon from Maine for Nelson is owned by C. II. Nelson, of Sumiyside stud, Waterville is a handsome bay horse, with black points, a shade less than 1G hands in height and weighs about 1,0.10 pounds when in condi tion. He was sired by Young Kolfe (2.21), dam Gretclien. His best performances, those Indiana, were made over the old time circular course.

BELMONT'S AVERAGES. Batting and Bowling Done by All the Elevens of the Halifax Cup Winners. The batting and bowling averages of the first, second and junior elevens of the Belmont Cricket Club, of "West Philadelphia, will be found below. The number of matches played by this organization was extraordi narily large, in comparison with the list of previous years, and there is no doubt that the constant practice in matches thus afforded the first eleven was mainly instrumental tn developing the excellent team work shown toward the latter end of the season. Of twenty two matches the first eleven won thirteen, lost live and four wore drawn, Belmont making 3,720 runs for 219 wickets, an average of per wicket, and the opponents lost wickets for runs, an average of U.K.').

The second eleven won live and lost three out of eleven matches, three being drawn, while the juniors won eight and lost two out of ten. The second eleven finished with the unusually largo average of 18.18 runs per wicket, Captnin Wood is at tho head of the batting list and ho will hold the club batting cup for another season. W. M. Cooper, with the fine average of 4'2, Is well ahead of the other second eleven men, while L.

D. MUlershould capture the junior hatlingtrophy. It will be a rather dittieult matter to select the winner of the first eleven bowling cup, and the committee will be required to decide between thcclaims of Muir and Smith, the former having slightly the better nveraee, while the latter has taken more than twice as many wickets. or Colladay should get the second eleven bowling prize and the prize offered by the junior organization. The Halifax cup, which was won by the club, will probably be formally presented at the annnal meeting in December In the batting Hvomites all under 10 are omitted and in the bowling averages all over 15.20.

KILLING MOTHER AND CUB A Night Search After the Disturber Hard Earned Slumber In the Woods, Followed by a Successful Hunt A Bear Gathered in by the Way. Messrs. Clinton and Farncy, of this city.

had an adventure in the early part of last month that they are not likely to forget. happened on the upper waters of Pine creek, Tioga county. They had been examining tract of land for coal indications and were in the woods for three days. On the third night of their tramping they had expected to reach the cabin of a hunter named Simpson on Buck Mountain, but it began to grow dark and they had to camp out. They found an old "leau to" built by the lumbermen, and here they resolved to stay till morning.

The only provisions they had with them were hard bread and flitch, which they cooked over the coals in army style. After supper the fire was replenished a bed of hemlock boughs made and, tired out by their day tramp, they lay down to rest, relying on the dog to give them warning of danger in the night. The dog was a splendid animal be longing to Mr. Farney, a cross between foxhound and Newfoundland, perfectly fear less and accustomed to mountain game. About one o'clock in the morning they were awakened by tho yells of their guar dian.

One seized the shot gun, loaded with heavy buck, and the other armed himself with a light axe. The night was very dark, and they were guided only by the noise, Thirty yards away they saw a large animal spring into the pines. Mr. Clinton fired but without effect, and after a search they found their dog dead, his head crushed in and neck broken. The beast that killed him had evidently sprang on his back, and must have been large, as the dog was power ful enough to kill a timber wolf.

Both men knew tne mountains well, and had no doubt that it was the work of a very large panther. Next morning they covered the body of their favorite with heavy logs and started for Simpson's cabin. On reaching this the huuter at once proposed that they should have a hunt after the marauders. Farncy was provided with an old army musket. smooth bore, loaded with slugs Clinton had his double barrels and buckshot, and the hunter a rifle almost six feet long.

lie was followed by his three big bear dogs. When they reached the camp where the panther was last seen, a rope was made last to the body of the dog. All hands laid hold aud they started off through the woods. mis is called a "drag" and is used in wolf hunting. One of these animals will follow such trail for miles, and at somo point on the route the hunter conceals him self and brings down the game as it runs past.

Alter a mile and a half had been covered, Simpson come to the place he had selected. Hero in an open space at the foot ol the mountain was a spring and a largo birch tree, and to one of tho long sprinev branches tne body ol the dog was suspended. It was too tar trom tho ground for any ani mal to spring and the limb too slender to support the weight of a panther. "Now, men, we'll come here to night. Xo use hunting a painter in daylight.

Mebbe we'll kill a deer on the way home." After an hour's still hunt the dogs struck a trail, and went off at full speed. "That's no deer," said Simpson, "bear sure," and in twenty minutes it was evident tho dogs had caught their game. In a thicket of wild plum trees with his back against a low beech stood a half grown bear, striking at the dogs, who Kept him trom getting awav by seizing him lrora behind whenever he turned. A bullet from the hunter's rifle ended the fight. The body was lashed to a couple of poles and by noon tne cabin was reacbed and a mighty runner oi iresn Dear steaks eaten.

About midnight they started for their do coy. The moon was in the last quarter and gave but a faint light, but the hunter took his way through the pines with as much cer tninty as if they were on a country road. Do you hear that?" said he, as a long cry come from tho woods. "They have got scent of the drag and we must get tho wind ol em." This took the party almost a mile out of their way, but was necessary, as the scent of a panther is especially keen. The moon was now clear of the clouds, and we could see the beech trees plainly.

All hands con eealed themselves in the brush, the dogs quivering with excitement, when, after half au hour's watch, they heard the low cry re peated lrom the mountain side. C'liuton said: "There's something on the tree. Look at the branches shaking Let's make a rush." In an instant they were under the beech. Clinton caught sight of a long gray animal crouched against the trunk near the top and fired. "That's fetched hiin," said Simpson, and he took sight over nis rme aim pulled the trigger, and with a long howl the beast came crashing through the branches.

When it reached the ground the dogs flew on it at once. Although shot inrougu tne neau and lore shoulder broken, it clawed up the dogs cruelly; but a thrust from the hunter's knife finished it. It was a she panther, full five feet long from the nose to the eud of the body one of the largest that had ever 'been killed in Northern Pennsylvania. The paws when spread were as nig as tne nand ot a large man and the claws full three inches long. This brute no doubt bad killed the dog.

In the meantime the dogs had left and all at once were heard yelling loudlv. "They have treed another," said Simpson, and a rush was made through the brush; down hill, over rocks and fallen tree trunks the route lay and finally brought np at the foot of big water oak that stood in a swamp. Tho hounds were giving tongue and leaping np the trunk. Mr. Farney went np the hillside and suddenly raised his gun and fired.

There was roar like a cannon and he lay flat on his back with a very sore shoulder from the overcharge in his old bltinderhluss. But it did its work. The cat could be seen hanging by both feet to a branch and it took three more discharges to bring it down. It was the cub and almost half grown, but big enough to make a very ugly fight. Simpson went to work there ami then to skin the' game, nnd taking the hides they got home by daylight.

Mr. Clinton bought both skins and left them with the hunter to tau Indian fashion, and these ho proposes to keep as mementoes. DOWN AT CAPE MAY. Items of Interest From the Fopnlar Kesort. Special Telegram to The Tim ss.

Cape May, November 1 To day the open gunning season commen ces in this end of the Stute. There is the usual army of accupatlon sweeping over the fields and woods of the county under permission from tho "Game Destruction Society." It's scarcely safe to travel a by road, or for a furmer to go out among his stock for fear he may be peppered with bird shot, or ordered off hlsown premises If he doesn't like the way things are run in the gunning line. It is a fact that property of the real kind hus depreciated of late years in South Jersey, andoneof the causes is charged to the annual raid of foreign gunners under tho protection of I he ia me Society. Mr. A.

11. Hamilton has moved Carlton Hall back from tho Capo May Point where It was In danger of being carried off by storm tides and the auxiliary forco of waves. Dr. William L. Newell, candidate on the Democratic ticket for Congress for this district, has written a letter to citizens of Cape May, irrespective of party, pledging himself to work for building a breakwutcr off the Island If elected to Fifty second Congress.

His utterances on this Important subject are commanding much attention, and will be cause for tho use of the stickers on election day.

IS THE MAT. TER OF RECORDS. INVESTIGATING SOME CHARGES Discussion of the Alleged Slugging by the University Eleven Prospeots of a Game Between Harvard and Princeton Nel son's Great Records. The, Amateur Athletic Union has long borne an unsavory reputation in regard to some of their legislative acts and that they have done much to deserve this criticism the Ford case will bear witness. They have a method of doing just as hey see fit utterly regardless of the rights or wrongs of tho case with the full knowledge that their abso lute authority will carry them through.

As another instance of their queer actions some of the proceedings of tho last meeting may be cited. As the matter of allowing records came up at this meeting tho natural query is Why was Cary's record of 9i seeonds not It transpired that tho board ignored the half dozen or more affidavits be fore them and shortly and very informally discussed the record. All this ended in tho unanimous adoption ot the lollowing terse, pertinent resolution Rksolved, That this board refuses to entertain or investigate a cluim so manifestly absurd. This effectually disposed of Mr. Cary's laudable ambition to be a record holder ana places John Owen, of Detroit, as tho foremost amateur sprinter of the world.

But this is not all the inside history of this resolution, as tho words of Fred W. Janssen, chairman of the record committee of the Amateur Athletic Union, will show. From this it appears that, although the Board of Managers summarily disposed of the matter in three minutes, it was not on the report of the record committee, which desired to probe into the matter further. Mr. Janssen says The record papers were all duly considered by the record committee of the A.

A. U. and reported upon by same at the late meeting of the A. A. U.

lioard of Managers, with recommendations that same be referred back to the committee with instructions that the timers be requested to furnish individual affidavits as to the time taken and watch used by each, owing to the tact that the timers' affidavit as presented simply stated that the three gentlemen whose names were affixed acted as timers and that they made Mr. Cary's time in the fiual heat Hi seconds, nothing more nor nothing less. Also that a detailed surveyor's certificate as to tiie elevation and measurement of the track be forwarded to the committee, as the one furnished was that of a student at Princeton College, who laid out tho grounds a year or two ago, and was entirely wanting in detail. "The board, after a due discussion and consideration of the facts and merits of the ease, concluded that as one Kamsdell with four yards handicap was only beaten by oue foot, and that consequently he also ran under ten seconds, together with the additional facts that said Kamsdell never before was able to run in ten seconds, and that to do nine and one half seconds Cary could give John Owen, of Detroit, nine feet start, and then defeat him. the members of the board were of the opinion that the question of a record could be decided then and there equally as well as though it were allowed to drag along until some future meeting." Other business that came up before this meeting was the reported breaking of the broad jump record by A.

F. Copeland, and that of the 5(i pound weight throwing record by ('. A. J. Qiicckhrrner at the Washington meeting.

Before they can be decided the report of the investigating committee, which is now investigating the charges of professionalism lnought by the New York Athletic Club, will have to lie made, and if sustained, of course they will be refused. These charges of professionalism aro too frequent nowadays to do the amateur standing any good, but the greater pity is that they are in so many cases well founded in fact. There is hardly an athletic organization in the country that is not guilty of this, and especially is this true of the New York clubs, where tho club competition is so great. Kverything is lost sight of in the strife to have the best amateurs in all branches enrolled as their members, and the inducements held out are strictly in the professional line. While the investigating committee has this matter in hand it would be a good move for them to go down the line and weed out all around where the taint of professionalism lingers, or else a rapid decay in the amateur ranks will he the consequence.

As an apt illustration of the foregoiug the following, taken from the New York Sun, may be quoted "The following query from a member of a Brooklyn athletic association would seem to indicate that oil her athletes arc very conscientious in the City of Churches regarding the spirit of the amateur law, or else have not wit enough to take advantage of a hundred ways of evasion, as our prominent clubs do." An Athletic club has a man theywnntto enter forthc championships nml thev vote to spend $10 on him to get him in trim Turkish bulbs, trainer, etc. If the athlete accepts Is ho an amateur? If not, how do they get around it so lie Is safe? Nokkie. The club will not violate, any law of the Amateur Athletic Union by "paying the young man's training expenses. They all do it. A resolution was ottered at the last general meeting of the Amateur Athletic Union by Mr.

Storm, of the Manhattan Athletic. Club, doing away with expenses and maKing me nuncio accepting the same a professional, but he matter was referred to a committee, which is empowered to consult committees of associate organizations, and the outcome is not liahlo to be known for months. Meantime the Brooklyn Club, which wishes to expend $10 on its champion, may go right ahead. It need not confine itself to Turkish baths, either. Send the young man to tho Catskill Mountains or board him at some 'island There is precedent that it can be done with perfect safety." Much newspaper gossip has been indulged In lately about tho slugging game as played by the University foot ball team.

If all these accounts arc trao the men who represent us would make their mark in the ring, nnd that they are mistaking their vocations, which should bo prize lighting, instead of studying at college Just how to account for this onslaughter docs not appear. To any ono who has been a spectator of any of tho great games between Yule, Princeton and Harvard there does not appear to be much difference in tho character of the playing, so far as brute foi ce goes, compared with those in which the University has been a contestant, and in past years the University men have disgusted many of their patrons by the way in which they allowed the men from other colleges to walk overt hem. Time and time again has" slugging" been indulged iu by their opponents without so much as resentment until it became a matter of course. But now that Pennsylvania is dealing with as they aro dealt with a great hue and cry is raised about theirslugging propensities, as if it was a right they didn't possess. This change of tactics is in a great nieasuro responsible for the good showing of last year's eleven and this year's so far as they have gone.

Much as this is to be deplored, yet if others do it, and they do without a doubt, why not Pennsylvania Princeton's willingness to meet Harvard on the foot ball field this season is an acknowledged fact. This is largely due to the recent boast of somo (Cambridge men to he effect that this is the very time to wipe upthe field with the Princeton eleven, inasmuch as their players are nearly all green men and tho team, on the whole, is very inferior to the champion eleven. This is what an experienced foot ball man said of the proposed match. "I care not what team Harvard has, how heavy it may be, or how much experience the individual players may have, she can't put one on the field that can beat a Princeton team when trained after the manner of former teams. The great trouble at Harvard is that they don't know as well as they should how to train a team to win from Yale or Princeton.

They have the material, but their weakness consists In the development of the material. This has been proven time and time again. Take last year's Princeton Harvard came for instance. In the first half they beat us, but in the second their team went to pieces, and it was no more trouble to make touch downs against them than against any of the ordinary foot ball teamB. They played well as long as they had the strength, but this was for a short time only.

On the other hand, the superior training of our men was demonstrated by the fact that they felt in as good condition during the i THE EVENTS OF A WEEK Social, Political and General News From the Principal Towns of the Keystone State and Across the Delaware.

Newspapers that have been busy guessing at the political complexion of the members of the Assembly from this county the past week are all awry, as the very latest and most authentic reports from the First and Second districts are to tho effect that both the Democratic candidates will be elected. Dissensions in these districts that looked serious a month asro have been overcome. and the importance of Democratic sm ccss over personal ends hus been shown to be so important that there will be very little kick ing In tho party. A.Harry White, the Demo craltc candidate in the First district, has irom ju 10 ouu majority in nis lavnr, aua with party sores partly healed it is declared he cannot be beaten.

In the Second district Mitchell B. Perkins, Deniocr.it. Is handi capped by about UO Republican majority, hut his opponent, William C.

Communion brings companionship, And lo I ho Is not all alone A greeting trembles on his lip For that which sudden round him shone. In ecstney of great delight He bends to grasp his Saviour's hands Big, Joy ful tears spring at the sight lie knows not If lie kneels or stands.

Alas 1 Now strikes a hateful sound, Thejlnploof the postern door; It stings lilm like a poisoned wound, And summons him to focd the poor. A ourse upsprlngs within his heart i A dark frown shadows o'er his face The menial tank, the drudge's part Calls yonder; hero Is Christ's high grace. He goes with pang and footstep slow, Is long detained by hunger's moan; Ho hosums back from mortal woe To kiss the bare stone where He shone. What render voice breaks on his ear? The light Is as of Knster morn "As though didst go, I still am here; Had.it thou remained, I had been gone." Clifford Lanier in the Independent..
