This is what Salva-cea is doitg.
WM. TAYLOR, Bishop of the Me ho-
dist Episcopal Church in Africa,
writes :
“ NEW YORK, Nov. 2, 1895.
, “I know SALVA-CEA to be an ex-
cellent remedy.’ I have proved its
healing virtues, both for bruises and
flesh wounds, and also to kill the
virus of mosquitoes and chegois."
E. A. GARLINGTON, Major and Insp'r
General, U. S. A., writes :.
“ WASHINGTON, D. C.,
Apr. 21, 1895.
“ I have used SALVA-CEA for sore-
ness or rheumatic pains in the muscles
of my arm, which is disabled from a
gun-shot wound involving the elbow
joint; relief was quick and com letc.”.
E. G. Isucxs, Pay Oflice, Navy
Yard, writes :
“ BROOKLYN, N. Y., Aug. 3, 1895.,
“ Having been a sufferer from
troublesome Piles, and not only ob-
tained immense relief, but, I can
safely say, cured, I cheerfully recom-
mend SALVA-em to those suffering
likewise, and hope it will afford them
the same relief that it has me.
“P. S. I suffered with Pil.s for
more than a year and tried many
remedies before I was recommended
to try SALVA-CEA."
SALVA-CEA does just what it
is advertised to do.

A Daring Sclxcmer 'Makes a. Big Haul 24:
Nevada ' City. .
One of the slickest articles that ever
struck this town held forth last night
at the corner of Broad and Pine
streets. He had a team from one of
the local livery stables and the usual
gasoline torch and valise. W’ith the
voice of :1 Midway Plaisance spieler
he began by announcing that he “was
an honest man,” and would rather
throw his money in the street than
takg a dollar that did not belong to
him. _
Instead of leaving in disgust at hear-
ing this shameless assertion, the
crowd drew nearer, anxious to have
a good look at such a. freak. They
drew still nearer—they wedged in
tight. and blocked the street, and they
were his'n.
He offered some trumpcry for sale,
and threw all the small change he re—
ceived into the street for the boys to
scramble for. It took. They liked it,
and hollered for more. He sold some
trifling “galvanic batteries” at $1
apiece, and then gave the purchaser
back his dollar.
The crowd grew enthusiastic, and
the fakir grew bolder. His next move
was to boldly ask who would give
him a dollar outright, to throw away,
get drunk on, or spend as he pleased.
A couple of men timidly pushed their
way forward, and'actually gave him
a dollar cash. He took the silver and
chuckled with glee. Then pretending
to repent having begged anything, he
called the donors up and returned
each man’s dollar and gave them a
dollar as a reward of merit.
The crowd began to cheer, and were
disappointed when the fakir again of-
fered the electric belts for sale. But
it was only for a few minutes, and
then he again asked who would “give
him a dollar outright and expect ab-
solutely nothing for it.”
The crowd fell over each other in
their haste to reach the fellow’s buggy
and make their contributions. He
would take a dollar from some one,
add a few more dollars to it. and then
wrap the whole in a greenback, mak-
ing nice little rools which he put into
his hat. They came so thick that he
was obliged to ask the people to wait
until he could get their Christmas
presents wrapped up. When dollars
finally ceased pouring in the hat was
full.
He placed the tile where all could
see it, and began a “song and dance”
about what good people they were,
and how much he appreciated getting
into such a liberal town. He would
not be out done in generosity. He
would make each of them a present
of one of his famous galvanic belts.
Yes, he would, by ginger! .
He talked so rapidly that few could
catch the drift of his proposition, but
they all stepped up and took the pack-
ages offered them, thus accepting
value for their money. Then they fell
back and waited until the gentleman
threw the hatful of money out into the
crowd.
But he did not do it?
No.
‘Instead,.he said, “Now, suppose you
were in my place. What would you
do with all this money?”
Some one on the edge of the crowd
answered “Keep it.”
“That’s a good suggestion,” said Mr.
Fakir, and in a trice he had dumped
the hatful of money into his valise
and snapped the lock.
He paused a moment and coolly lit
a cigar in the flame of his torch, and
the crOwd hesitated, paralyzed at his

and drove swiftly around the corner.
He did not leave town, though, and
"apparently had no fears for his per-
sonal safety. TVhile he was skinning

Saved a Fortune Out; of $10 a. Week.
John Cummings, sixty years old, a
laborer in Brooklyn’s famous Green--
who recently died,‘
wood Cemetery,
left a fortune of nearly‘$11,000. He
had worked as a “common” laborer
for forty years and had never received
more than $10 a week. The cause of
his death was asphyxiation by gas.
.He was a native of Cofinty Tipper~
ary, Ireland. He came to this country
when he was twenty years old and
worked for some years as a farm
hand in Ulster County. Then he came
to live in Brooklyn and was employed
as a stablemun by the City Railroad
Company. Next he got a job as com-
mon laborer in Greenwood Cemetery.
It was when Coroner Coombs began
his search for papers that the discov-
ery of his wealth was made. Only
seventeen cents had been found in
the clothing he had worn the day
before.
In the room was an old-fashioned
tin trunk, which contained the dead
man’s wardrobe. 'which consisted of
several worn suits and underwear.
Among the Autism were half a dozen
pairs of winter socks, and in the toe
of each sock was found stuffed $5,
$10 and $20 bflls. \thn these had
all been taken out and counted they
were found to amount altogether to
$285. ' ‘
The next find was a bank book be-
tween the folds of a pair of trousers.
A second one was found in the folds
of a vest, a third in a coat, and a
fourth inside of a white shirt. The
books were those of the South. Brook-
lyn Savings Institution, Brooklyn
Savings Bank, BrOoklyn Dime. Sav-
Ings Bank and the Saugerties Savings
Bank. There was a. balance in each
of $3,000, except-the Brooklyn Dime
Savings Bank, whose balance was $1,
500. .
IN OLD TRINITY CHURCHYARD.
{Enly Four or Five Persons 8. Year Now
Laid at Rest in the Ancient Vaults.
That men and women are buried
within the shadows of Wall street, in
fact at its very gate, is a bit of" infor4
mation possessed by few. The pub-
lic is well aware that the law ex-
pressly prohibits burials within the
city limits, and the ceaseless crowds
that pass and repass Trinity’s an-
cient graveyard have cause to look
upon it as the abiding place only of
former generations of New Yorkers.
To only a few is the rather grew-
some privilege accorded of burial
within the ancient precincts of Trin-
ity Churchyard. It is a privilege that
money cannot buy; a mum-millionaire
could not purchase six feet of ground
there should he be seized with a de-
sire to have his bones repose near the
scene of his turbulent Wall street life.
The only persons who can point to the
old church yard as the spot where one
day they will sleep their last sleep
are the owners of the many vaults
located beneath the shadow of the
ancient trees.
The existence of these vaults is
unknown to the general public. Even
the space of these vaults is limited,
and when the coffins that they period-
ically open to receive have filled the
interior, the heavy stone slabs on the
surface of the ground will fall back
into place for the last time.
From time to time a funeral takes
place there, and the sight is sure to
collect a crowd. Funerals are rare
things in lower Broadway, and a peep
into one of the old vaults is a sight
not ofen seen nowadays. The cofiin
of a man or woman buried in Trin-
ity’s vaults differs from almost every
other coffin to be seen in this city.
The law regarding burials in New
York city is very strict, and no cof-
fins can be taken into Trinity Church-
yard unless enclosed in sealed metal
caskets. The ceremony is hurried,
and the coffin got into the vault as
quickly as possible, for it is none too
wholesome to breathe the air of these
mildewed old underground passages
,that have not been opened perhaps for
years.
The number of burials in Trinity
Churchyard does ‘ not average more
than four or five a year, and they are
becoming fewer as times go by. The
last interment there took place in the
spring. It is one of the privileges of
ancient lineage that the newer fami-
lies regard with envy. To own a
vault in Trinity Churchyard is better
evidence of the age of the owner’s
family than the possession of a family
tree.
BACKWOODS 6U RGERY.
Setting a Dislocated Shoulder by Bleans
of a Steam Engine.
“Probably as queer a piece of back-
woods surgery as has been described,”
says a frequenter of the region, “was
that performed by a Moosehead Lake
guide known as ‘Old Sabattus’ about
twenty years ago. The man was not
an Indian, as his nickname implies,
but a Yankee, one of those rough fol-
lows formerly characteristic of that
locality. This guide was left on a
lake steamboat at one of the far up
landings while the engineer went
ashore with the company. A ,man
named Meservey came aboard, and in
fooling around the bout managed to
tumble down into the fire pit and put
his shoulder out of joint.
“Here was a dilemma. The other
members of the party would not be
back for half an hour. and the in-
jured man was in great pain. The
guide was a man of expedients. He
got a rope and tied his patient sc
curely to a post. Then he tied an-
other one around the man‘s wrist,
and hitched the loose end of it to a
pulley on the engine. He._managed
W EE K LI'YZ -‘N o EWA E K G A gE
somehow to turn on steam, and the ,.
pulley began to wind up the rope. It
drew the arm out tight in beautiful
shape, and presently the joint
snapped back into its socket. Then
‘Sabattus’ jumped around to shut off
the steam, while the pulley kept on
winding. ‘Holy Moses,’ gaspedvthe
guide excitedly, ‘how does it go? I
I don’t know where ’tis. I can’t stop
the blanked thing,’ and the pulley
meanwhile was slowly but surely
pulling Mservey to pieces. His eyes
were sticking out of their sockets,
and he screamed and gasped for
breath.
“Sabattus danced around like a wild
man, not knowing what.to do, when
he happened to spy a hatchet lying
near, and jumping for that, he cut the
rope and saved a dreadful catas-
trophe. This was done just as the
party of city folks who had gone
ashore came hastily back on the boat,
alarmed by Meservey’s screams. It
was some years afterward.” says the
narrator, “that I was present when
a lot of summer company arrived at
Greenville. Sabattus was there too.
and presently a distinguished looking
man, one of the new-comers, went up
to him and said with a meaning smile
‘Are you not the man that practices
surgery by steam?’ and Sabattus had
to admit that he was ‘thnt same fel-
ler.’ ”—Lewiston (Me) Journal.
WIT AND HUMOR.
“And shall I look daggers?” asked
the ingonue. The stage manager tore
his hair. “No,” he shrieked. “This is
a modern play. “Look hat-pins.”—
