Concerning Sealskin Garments.
The Worcester Gazette tells the story
an the seizure of 3. Worcester girl's
.sealskin sack two weeks ago Saturday
might, while she was on her way from
Montreal to her Worcester home. Her

iness firm on Front stree t.
Lady says:
“I was sitting in the sleeper in a
flight dress, with the coat thrown over
my shoulders, when the customs Officer
entered the car. He asked me if 1 had
Anything dutiable. and examined my
satchel. Then he looked at the sack,
and asked me where I got it. I told
laim I had not purchased it in Canada,
Pout he said he would have to hold it.
He said he had received notice from
Washington that morning about the
new law, and that I was the first per
mu affected by it. I cried a little, and
hried to persuade him to let me keep it
but he was obduratc. He was very po-
iite, however. The coat is worth $350,
and my mother bought it for herself wof
Dyer, Rice 8: Co., in Boston, five years
ago. 1 had it repaired lately, and so it
looked just like a new one. I think I
should get it back to-morrow some
time. as the official in St. Albans said
he would do anything in his power to
help me.”

The Salvation Booths.
Now that William Booth and his son
Ballington, after protracted negotia-
tions conducted through their plcnipo-
tentiaries, have had an interview and
separated without either breaking the
peace or piecing the break. we hope
they will. for a time, efi'acc
themselves . s far as possible, says the
New York Tribune- The witnesses in
whose presence father and- son finally
consented to meet are presumably pre-
pared to refute any3 misrepresentations
which may emanate from overzealous
partisans Of either. and no good reason
therefore, appears why the principals
should not give their entire time to the
task of saving souls, each according to
his own ideas of the methods and dis-
cipline best adapted to that supreme
end. It must be admitted that such a
course of conduct would subject them
to a severe strain; but they ought at ,,
least to attempt it, remembering what
they have caused countless others to en-
dure in recent years by their incessant
strife. It is natural that they should
suppose the'whole country to be wait-
ing in breathless suspense for the re-
sult of the elder Booth’s visit, if, as
seems to be the fact, each honestly
deems himself the. most important in-
dividval now living in the world. But
in the interest of truth and religion, we
must assure them that such supremacy
really belongs to neither.
How much good the Salvation Army
was doing before the Booths began
their open quarrel there is no means Of
calculating. Our strong ' impression
has been that the total was large. But
it is impossible to suppose that the ex-
hibition of evil passions and colossal
vanity which has been going on during
the last two years has not done an im-
mense amount Of harm. It has been a
constant betrayal, under the eyes Of
those most likely to be unfortunately
influenced thereby, ’of the cause to
the Gospel of Christ are ostensibly de-
voted. A long period of pure and
peaceful effort to raise the fallen,
strengthen the weak, succor the afflict-
ed and evangelize the world will not
more than repair that injury. An ab-
surd amount of publicity has been be-
stowed upon the Booths at their soliafi
. contempt, and if he had been content
tation by the newspapers. The best:
return that they can now make is to
take themselves personally out of Ob—
servation, concentrating upon a disin-
terested employment Of the forces un-
der their commands the energy which
they have been dissipating in public
clamor against one another.
It is proper to say before taking
leave of this unpleasant subject that
from the moment of their separation“
the fat-her has appeared to the people,
Of this country a considerably more Ob—
ectionable person than the son. The-
original feeling was that the latter had
good reason for distrusting a leader-
ship whieh appeared to hold American
ways, proclivities and institutions in
with justifying his action to the Amer-
ican people by a simple record of goo}.
works instead of trying to make them
i
l a party to the quarrel he might have
had their undivided sympathy. As it
, is, the strongest desire Of an sensible
: persons with reference to the _,whole
3 Booth family is that its bickering, or,
' at the least, the noise thereof, should
' cease.’ The 'Irish judge delivered a
valuable sentence in sufficiently lucid
. terms when he said to the boisterous
I culprit: “I want nothing from you but
_ silence, and mighty little of that.”

Established the Precedent.
The Ansonia Sentinel says: “It was
Adam, the first man, who established
the precedent of throwing the blame
for his sin on the woman, and his de-
scendants have been following his ex-
ample ever. since. Boinay, the. most
brutal murderer Connecticut ever saw,
proposes even on the gallows, ten min-
utes before he dies, to throw the blame
for his crime on his wife, and this in
the face Of the fact that he was a des-
perate, hardened criminal before he
ever met her. He may make declara-
tion from now until his execution. but
having been proven an unconscionable
liar in court it is strange if any one
believes him, or if any one thinks the
less of his wife for what he says. It
will be a good day for (.‘onnecticut

Had a Rabbit’s Foot.
The Portchester exchange shows
how a man might have trouble had he
not had a rabbit’s foot in his pocket.
It says that “Sam Morgan, who was
struck by a locomotive yesterday,
would have. had a narrow escape from
death but for his rabbit’s foot.
thrown into a snowdrift thirty feet
He was
away, and his neck would have been
broken if it hadn’t been for the snow.
As it was, one arm and a leg were
broken and he was almost smothered
before a brakeman pulled him out Of
the snow. In his vest pocket Was the
rabbit’s foot, crushed into bits. Mor-
gan begged the nurse to let him have
the pieces, which he has placed under
his pillow. The doctors say he may
recover.

An Attachment.
Deputy sheriff Fred S. Lyon, yester-
day served attachment papers On prop-
erty alleged to belong to Chester F.
Tolles, of South Norwalk. The papers
were sworn out by Hollister (Sc Kelsey,
Bridgeport attorneys, who seek to re-
cover on a bill for $150 for services
rendered. The amount of the attach?
ment 18 for $500. The case is made re-
turnable before the Common Pleas
court, the first Tuesday in February.
HOW TO FIND our.
Fill a bottle or common glass with
urine and let it stand twenty-four
hours; a sediment or settling indicates
an unhealthy condition of the kidneys
When urine stains linen it is evidence
Of kidney trouble. Too frequent desire
to urinate or pain in the back, is also
convincing proof that the kidneys and
bladder are out Of order.
WHAT To Do;
There is comfort in the knowledge so
often expressed, that Dr. Kilmer's
Swamp-Root, the great kidney remedy
fulfills every Wish in relieving pain in
the back, kidneys, liver, bladder and
every part Of the urinary passages. It
corrects inability to hold urine and
scalding pain in passing it, or bad ef-
fects following use of liquor, wine or
beer. and overcomes that unpleasant
necessity Of being compelled to get up
many times during the night to urin-
ate. The mild and the extraordinary
effect of Swamp-Root is soon realized.
It stands the highest for its wonderful
cures of the most distressing cases. If
you need a medicine you should have
the best. Sold by druggists, price fifty
cents and one dollar. 2 You may have a
sample bottle and pamphlet both sent
free by mail. Mention THE GAZETTE,
and send your address to Dr. Kilmer &
Co., Binghamv-on, N. Y. The pro-
prietors of this paper guarantee the
genuineness of this affair. ‘
