Caldwell, N. J ., March 19.1895.—(Special.) Since one of our prominent citizens suffered so terribly from tobacco tremens, has made known his frightful experience in behalf of humanity, the ladies here are making tobao- co-using husbands' lives miserable with their entreaties to a t once quit tobacco.

The w ritten statem ent e t 8 . J . Gould is attracting wide-spread attention. W hen in­terviewed to-night he sa id : “I commenced using tobacco a t th irteen ; I am now forty- nine; Bo, for thirty-six years I chewed, smoked, snuffed and rubbed snuff. In the morning I chewed before I pu t my pants on, ana fo r a long time I used two ounces of chewing and eight ounces of smoking a day. Sometimes I had a chew in both cheeks and a pipe in my mouth at once. Ten years ago I quit drinking whisky. I tried to stop tobacco time and again, but could not. Mv nerves craved nicotine and I fed them, till my skin turned a tobacco- brown, cold, sticky perspiration oozed from my skin, and trickled down my back at the least exertion or excitement. My nerve vigor and my life was beingslowly sapped. I made up my mind that I had to quit tobacco or die. On October 1 1 stopped, and for three days I suffered the tortures of the damned. On the third day I got so bad that my p art­ner accused me of being drunk. I said, ‘No. I have qu it tobacco.’ ‘For God’s sake, man,’ he said, offering me his tobacco box, ‘take a chew; you will go w ild,’ and I was wild. Tobacco was forced into me and I was taken home dozed. I saw double and my memory was beyond control, but I still knew how to chew and smoke, which I did all day un­til tow ards night, when my system got tobacco-soaked again. The next morning I looked and felt os though I had been through a long spell of sickness. I gave up in de­spair, as I thought tha t I could not cure my­self. Now, for suffering humanity, I ’ll tell w hat saved my life. Providence evidently- answered my good w ife’s prayers ana brought to herfflttention in our paper an ar­ticle which read : ‘Don’t Tobacco Spit and

“W hat a sermon and w arning iu these words! Ju s t w ha t I was doing. I t told about a guaranteed cure fa r the tobacco

iyinto my mouth a little tablet upon which was stamped No-To-Bac. 1 know it soundslike a lie when I tell you that I took eigh t tablets the first day, seven the n ex t five tb s ' th ird day, and all the nerve-creeping feel­ing, restlessness and m ental depression wasgone. I t w as too good to bo true. I t seemed like a dream. That was a month ago. I used one box. I t cost me $1, and it is worth a thousand. I gained ten pounds in weight and lost all desire for tobacco from the flr§t day. 1 sleep and oat well and 1 huve been benefited in more ways than I can te ll No, the cure was no exception in my case. I know of ten people righ t here in Caldwell who have bought No-To-13ac from Hasler, and they tiave been cured. Now tha t I rea­lise w hat No-To-Bac has done fo r me and others, I know why it is th a t the m akers of th is wonderful remedy, the Sterling Rem­edy Company, of New Y ork and Chicago, say: ’W e don’t claim to cure every case. That’s F raud’s talk, a lie; but we do guar­antee th ree boxes to cure the tobaoco habit, and in case of failure we are perfectly will­ing to refund money.’ I would not give r public Indorsement if I were not certain of its reliability. I know it is backed by mi w orth a m illion. No-To-Bac has beenGod-send to me, and Tfirm ly believe It will cure any case of tobacco-using if faithfully tried, and there are thousands of tobacco slaves who ought to know how easy it is to get free. There’s happiness in No-To-Bac for the prem aturely ola men, who think as I did that they are old and worn out, when tobacoo Is the thing tha t destroys their vi­tality and manhood.”

The public should be warned, however, against the purchase of any of the many imitations on the m arket, as the success of No-To-Bac has brought fo rth a host of counterfeiters and im itators. The genuine No-To-Bac is sold under a guarantee to cure, by all druggists, and every tablet has the word No-To-Bac plainly stamped there-

run no physical or financial rchasiug the genuine article.

k YOUNG GIRL’S FORTUNE.AN INTERESTING SKETCH.Nothing appeals so strongly to a mother’s

uifectlon aa her daughter just budding into womanhood. Following Is an instance: “Our daughter. Blanche, now 15 years of age, had been terribly afflicted with nervousness, and bad lost the entire use of her right arm. She was in such a condition that ire had to keep hor from school and abandon her music les­sons. In fact, we feared St. Vitus dance, and are positive but for an invaluable remedy she would have had that terrible affliction. We had employed physicians, but ane received no benefit from them. Tue first of last August she weighed but 75 pounds, and although she has taken ouly three bottles of Nervine she now weighs 10ft pounds: her nervolumess and symp­toms of St Vitus dauce are entirely gone, she attendsschool regularly, and studies with com­fort and ease. She has recovered complete use or her arm, her appetite ----

and ease. K'— her arm, her appetite is splendid.' and no money could procure for our daughter the health Dr. Miles’ Nbrvlne has brought her.

When my brother, recommended the remedy 1 had no faith in patent medicines, and would not listen to him, but as a last resort he sent us a bottle, we began giving It to Blanche, and the effect was almost Immediate."—-Mrs. B. K. Bullock, Brighton. N. Y.

Sir Benjamin Richardson, a noted English physician, thinks that the nor­mal period of human life is about 110 years, and that seven out of ten average people ought to live that long if they took proper care of themselves.

A severe rheumatic pain in the left shoulder had troubled Mr. J H. Loper, a well known druggist of Des Moines, Iowa, for over six months. At times the pain was so severe that he could not lift anything. With all he oould do he could not get rid of it until he applied Chamberlain’s Pain Balm. “I only made throe applications of it,” he says, “ and have si nee been free from all pain.” He now recommends it to - persons similarly afflicted. It is for sale by H. M. Bangs, druggist.

- -ttThle Last Bose of Summer,” one o f Patti’s favorite songs, was the work of Thomas Moore. The melody is a very ancient Irish tune, formerly known as “The Groves of Blarney.”- This tune has been found in collections of Irish music at least two hundred years old.

“Perhaps you would not tbink so, but a very large proportion . of diseases in New York comes .from carelessness about catching cold ,” says Dr. Cyrus Edson It is such a simple thing and so common that very few people, unless it is g case of pneumonia, pay any atten­tion to a cold. There are a great many

•if isSUT cases of catarrh and consumption which have their origin in this negleet of the simplest precaution of every day life The most sensible advice is, when you have one, get rid of it as soon as possible. By ail means do not neglect it.” Dr. Edson does not tell you how,to cure a cold but we will. Take Cham-’ berlain’a Cough Remedy. It will relieve the lungs, aid expectoration, open the secretions and soon effect a permanent cure. 25 and 50 oent bottles for sAle by H. M Bangs, druggisttrains

“Naples. March 18—To the Editor of the New York Times: I reply to your dispatch as follows: In considering what should be done concerning the outrage perpetrated by the Spanish man-of-war In firing on the Allianca one fact should not be lost sight of. It was deliberate and with full knowledge of the act

“It Is certain that no person In command of any war vessel In the world would be ignorant lhat firing upon a merchant vessel of another power on the high seas in time of peace would violate the law of nutions. There Isn't a sub­ordinate officer of any man-of-war In the world who has not been sufficiently Instructed to know that. It Is therefore a case of a wilful insult to the American flog and people.

“I do not recall so wanton an outrage as hap­pening to any first-class power in fifty yearp. An apology scarcely wipes out suoh un affront. The truth is we have happened to come in for a piece of the general brutality and ruffianism that holds Cuba. The thing Is a relic of the middle ages. It Is a disgrace to us that lies our doorstep I t makes my blood hot for one. Of course they will apol­ogize elaborately and dtaolpllne the oftl-

[The trouble which started In September, the beginning of the commercial war In New Orleans, and which originated over labor mat­ters, has In time changed to a bitter raoe war. The white sorewmen who load ootton on ves­sels, and who constitute one of the strongest labor uhlons in this country, hove been mas­ters of the cotton situation in New Orleans fo: years. They decided that there was not enough money In the business for them and the ne­groes, and prohibited the latter from loading ootton vessel* The negroes replied by reduc­ing the rate of pay, whloh had been five and 8Lx dollars a day for seven or eight hours' work, and In this were supported by the ship agents. The war has raged ever since The wharves of tho West Indian line, the first to use negro labor, were burned down by an Incendiary fire with a loss of 3250.000. The wharves of the Texas & Pacific, with 25,000 bales of cotton were de­stroyed: loss, $300,001 The ships were In­vaded by the white laborers, the negroes run Into the river and their tools thrown after them. The negroes were fired on at Gretna and Southport, bombs were • placed in the cot­ton and various other means used to frighten them off.l

The burden of the decision is th a t women in respect to con­trac ts are on the same footing w ith men and th a t an act which abridges the freedom of contract be­tw een workm an and employer in a law ful occupation U unconstitutional. In far-reaching resu lts the decision ia most im portant.

The opinion waa filed in the case of WilHam Ritchie vs. the people, error to Cook county. This waa a suit to te st the constitu tionality of w hat is known aa the sweat-shop or eight-hour law executed by the general assembly of 1893. The act pro­vided for the appointm ent of inspectors and for th e inspection of factories, sdreat-shope, etc. One section of the ac t made i t a misdemeanor for a woman to be employed for more than eight hours in any one day. The bill also appropriated *20,000 for salaries of in­spectors. Ritchie, w ith eight others, w as arrested and fined for working fe­male employes more than eight hours a day, and prosecuted a w rit of error to the supreme court.

The constitu tionality of the entire act was attacked, bu t the supreme court holds th a t bu t two sections are void— viz.:

“See. 5. No female shall be employed In any faotory or workshop more than eight hours In any one day, or forty-eight hours In any one week."

The Largest In the World.IFrem the Chicago Inter Ocean. 1

How m any people in Chicago know that w ith all her other g reat industries there is also found here the largest soap and wash­ing powder business in the world, The N. K. Fair bank Company, with their factories in Chicago. Bt. Louis and Guttenberg, being without doubt, the largest producers of soap products in the United States. This great business is not of mushroom growth bu t the resu lt of persistent effort, broad business methods and Intelligent and criminating advertising.

Many brands of soap are made in these factories, bu t Chicago Is best acquainted

dis-

ch long ago found fa- for our homes.

w ith Santa Claus wvor w ith those who c o r e _____________Gold D ust W ashing Pow der is known in every ham let of tho United States, it being everywhere recognized as the leading prod­uct of its kind.

Announcement is now made tha t The N. K. Falrbank Company are about to take an­other step forward to turn another page in their h istory of progress by introducing an­other new soap. This will shortly be adver­tised in a m ost striking and original man­ner.

F o r twenty-five years this company was likewise the leading lard producer of the world, and abandoned lard merely because a new world was to be conquered. With keen business perception they saw in cotton seed oil the basis for a still larger busi­ness in a more healthful, more econom ical and in every way more desirable food product than lard. When this new product was perfected and their plans carefully arranged they turn their attention from the lard business, and with a courage

Jorn of the confidence that they had pro- need w hat tho world had so long demand­ed, vix., a substitute fo r lard, they launched

“Cottolene.” The quick acceptance by the publlo of this really meritorious article a t­tracted the attention of the ever-read y imi­ta to r and the m arket was soon flooded with im itations, sailing under colors of all de­scriptions. But Cottoleno was first in the heart of tho people and those, who uso it are not a t all likely to go back to lard o r accept an imitation.

The N. K. Falrbank Company attribute their success to the m erit of the articles they produce; to the fact th a t their products are staple necessities of life, not luxuries, and to careful, thoughtful, persisten t news­paper advertising, which they continue through all seasons, in hard times and in good. Surely this is a fa r wiser plan than the occasional blast of trum pets and spas­modic efforts ofton characteristic of others.

In the advertising branch of the business they are represented by the well-known firm of N. W. Ayer & Son of Philadelphia, who purchase all their advertising space.

A nother fact that may not be generally known is tha t The N. K. Falrbank Company is conducted as one of the departm ents of The American Cotton Oil Company. This fusion of business forces was consummated for tho sake of the greater facilities th a t ensue from a d irect connection w ith the cottonseed mills to supply the public with the purest article a t so much less cost.

Surely no Chicago industry has achieved greater success than TheN . K. Falrbank Company.

“At his home, 1704 East Main street, on Friday night, Jam es A. Birt, was given a surprise party in honor of the twenty- ninth anniversary of his birthday. The surprise was as complete as anything of the kind ever arranged and the victim could think all dqy yesterday duly of the complete and pleasant affair. He had been induced to go out ostensibly to spend the ovgninjg, and then on another pretext was taken back home before 8 o’clock. There were no lights in the house w h en ce arrived home and after the lights were suddenly turned on he was so surprised that he sank into the nearest, chair and failed to notioe that it was a o f furnlture strange to the house. When bn had reoover a trifle from the first shook of the surprise he was presented with a handsome rocker, the one iff which be Was sitting. The guests were delighted with the success of the Affair and bad plenty of fun at the expepse of the host. During the evening a splendid supper was served.” ‘t
