From the Telegram, II’orcester, Mass.
Mr. George A. Baribeault, of No. 5 Green
Street, Worcester, Mass, is a young man
who is lVorcester born and bred. He re-
ceived his education, in \Vorcester’s schools
and is well and favorably known to a large
circle of friends and ‘acquaintances here.
His father was a local musician of some
repute, having been years ago prominently
connected with the organization then known
as the “ French Band,” whichis now “ Wor-
cester’s famous Battery B Band.”

periodicals, confectionery, etc. Former y
he was an armorer and worked at his trade
in the pistol factory of the Harrington and
Richardson Arms Company, on Park Ave-
nue. About two years ago while in Illell'
employ he became “run down,” the exact-
ing work at his machines making him wry
nervous. His appetite was poor, his diges-
,tion imperfect, and his blood in such a had
condition that small wounds on his hands
would take weeks to heal. He felt that
surely something must be done, as work had
become a burden, owin to the loss of
strength and ambition. e had a thorough
dislike for medicine of any kind, but throng
the earnest solicitation of his wife to d
something to restore his health, and on the
recommendation of friends he was induced
to try Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills.
Very soon after beginning to use them he
' felt their beneficial effect, and continuing
their use, he was soon broughtaronnd to
perfect health, which he continues to enjoy.
He is now the picture of good health; his
digestion is restored to normal conditions,
and has an appetite to match his d1 estion,
and the good blood bound to come t irough
this combination circulates through his
veins and ives a healthy glow to his face
and is comp ete evidence of health restored.
Mr. Baribeault procured Dr. Williams’
Pink Pills for Pale People at the drug store
of Mr. A. TV. Andrews, on the corner of
Main and Wellington Streets. Mr. Andrews
says: “I have numerous calls for these pills
and I receive many reports of their efficient
help in restoring vigor and health to their
users.”
How Relief Came,
From Cole County Democrat, Jcficrson City, Mo.
When la grippe visited this section, about
seven years a o, Herman H. Eveler, of 811
W. Main St., fiefierson, Mo., was one of the
victims, and has since been troubled with
the after-effects of the disease. He is a well
known contractor and builder, a business re-
quiring much mental and' physical work.
A year ago his health began to fail and he
was obli ed to discontinue work. That he
lives to-day is almost a miracle. He says:
“ I was troubled with shortness of breath,
alpitation of . the heart and a general de~
bility. 7' My back also pained me severely.

A prominent business man recently ex-
pressed the opinion that there is one thing
that will prevent women from completely
filling man’s place in the business world-—
they can’t be depended upon because they
are sick too often. This is refuted by Mrs.
C. W. Mansfield, :1 business woman of 58
Farrar St, Detroit, Mich., who says:
“ A complication of female ailments kept
me awake nights and wore me out. I could

Wide._ The inhabitants of this island are a.
well-informed class of people who devote
' their energies to farming and quarryin for
a livelihood. In the home of one of 1: ese
islanders resides Florence J. Sturdivant the
four-year-old daughter of Mr. and Ira.
William H. Sturdivant. In February, 1896
she was taken sick with scarlet fever, and
after the usual run of the fever she was lefl:
with a weak back and gradually began to
lose stren h, until finally, despite the best
efforts ofp ysicians, her life hung in the bal~
ance. It was at this crisis, when all seemed
darkest, that an angel of health appeared
on the scene and released little Florence
from pain and suffering and restored her to
strength and health. This remarkable occur-
rence is best told in the words of the father.
Mr. Sturdivant said : “ Florence wastaken
sickwith scarlet fever and we immediately
called a physician.
and we followed his directions closely, giving
our little patient the best of care. After
two weeks the fever subsided, but Florence
was left with a very weak back. Severe
pains were constantly in the back and
stomach. We did all that possibly could be
done to relieve our little sull'erer, but to no
avail. The difficulty seemed to baflle the
efforts of the physician.
“Finally at the end of four months of
treatment, we found our patient completely
prostrated. At this time we called an emi-
nent physician, who agreed with the diag-
nosis of our physician and said that the
trouble resulted from the scarlet fever. He
prescribed a course of treatment and we fol-
lowed it faithfully for three months, but in~
stead ofimproving, Florence failed. Besides
the treatment of physicians we used many
proprie'ary remedies but ‘without benefit.-
“Mrs. Sturdivant and myself were com-
pletely discouraged. A brother of my wife,
who resided ill Canada, but was visitin us,
advised us to use Dr. Williams’ Pink ills
for Pale People, and 1 purchased abox of the
pills and began to give them to Florence.
This was in October, 1896. After using the
pills a short‘time we could s e an improve»

pills and watched with delight the change
for the better that was being wrought daily.
From sitting up in bed at times during the
day and at times standing on her feet,
Florence finally became strong enough to
walk a little. She gained in flesh and
strength rapidly and the pains gradually
left her. By the time she had used three
boxes of the dpills she was evidently well.
We continue the treatment using another
box, the fourth, to prevent the possibility of
a. recurrence of the difficulty.
“\Ve cannot praise too highly the value

A WONDERFUL SIGHT.
Effect of Colored Lights at the Crystal
Palace of the Purl. Exposition.
A brilliant novelty for the exposl<
tion in Parlsln 19:00, emanates from M.
Zowieskl, a. Well-known architect of the
Russian National Theater. It provides
for the erection of a. crystal building,
over which will fall cascades of water
from hundreds of fountains or jets.
The building will be made entirely of
glass, and will rival in beauty or con-
struction and originality of design the
famous Crystal Palace of: London, Eng-
land. The Paris palace of! glass will
be shaped somewhat like the minaret-
topped structures that are so much
admired in Oriental cities. It will cov-
er an area of six thousand square
yards. On each corner will be crystal
towers, and in the center will rise a.
minaret of beautiful and original de-
sign that will be an appropriate cen-
trepiece to the fairy palace.
The interior of the crystal structure
is to be almost as attractive as the ex-
terior, for in this building will be
grouped the most interesting exhibits
of the exposition. Since it became
known that the managers 'had accept-
ed the idea for a. crystal structure, sug-
ested by M. Zowieskl, they have been
overwhelmed with applications from
would-be exhibitors for places in the
building, the exhibitors well
knowing what a center of attraction'the
building will be, and appreciating also
the fact that a structure of transparent
material will be flooded with light in
a. manner calculated to show off the
fine points of the exhibits to perfec-
tion. ,
The managers appreciate this, too,
and have decided to concentrate in the
crystal, building the exhibits that are
of such exquisite delicacy that the
stronger the light ‘the greater their
beauty. Here will be seen the art
gems that require no shadow to con-
ceal imperfection, the rare paintings,
the curios of the earth and the treas-
ures of the ocean.
But it is the outside of the build-
ing that will be the greatest wonder by
night and day. Wherever water can
be conveyed by a line” of piping that
does not interfere with the interior or
exterior beauty of the building there
water will be. Wherever a. jet can be
added or a fountain made to play with-
out destroying the general harmony of
the whole, or overdoing the wonderful
watery effect, there the jet and the
fountain will be placed. The whole
structure of glass will be enveloped in
a veil of liquid beauty. From all sides
the water will spurt up in rows of jets
that spring from the ground and rise
over the roof in uniform heights, to
fall back on the building in graceful
showers of spray. These rows of jets
will entirely surround the structure.
so that the visitors can pass inside
the glass case, and see the rising wa-
ters through the crystal framework.
ing fountains, whose water bursts from
the root in graceful showers, mingling
artistically with the jets that rise from
the ground. There will be flowering
devices formed by the bursting waters,
wheels of liquid loveliness, trees of
glittering spray, new and novel pat-
terns traced In sparkling drops on the
glass background of the palace, and
fanciful figures innumerable formed of
dashing, leaping, falling, bursting
spray, each drop of which obeys the
will of the designer, so as to bound
and fall in conformity with the plan
of the master mind that constructed
the set of pipes and nozzles through
which the water passes on its way to
the air. In the daytime, when the sun
strikes the gushing waters, and paints
them in rainbow colors, making each

M. Jones, of Battery I, regular army,
extinguished a. fire in a. smoldering bag
that contained-fifty pounds of powder
during the time the jubilee salute of
twenty-one guns was being fired at
Lime Paint. It all happened in an in-
stant, but it was one or those brief
periodsof time that seem an age, and
that often make brave men grow gray.
The event came about in this way:
Lieut. Charles W. Foster, of Battery 1,
stationed at Lime Point, was detailed
to take charge of the firing of the sa-
lute from the Marin shore, and with
him Were Sergt. M. L. Mitchell and
drop a crystal gem of constantly
changing hue, the water palace will be
a sight that, for loveliness, will be hard
to surpass. .
But how can words describe the ap-
pearance of the fairy palace in the
night time, when the structure is il-
luminated by the electric light in all
the most beautiful colors imaginable.
Inside and out it will be a. blaze of
splendor. Showers of crystal drops
will meet the white, blue, green, red
and yellow light of electricity in every
direction, miniature geysers will burst
from the fountains surrounding the
foundations of the building, and cross
and criss-cross the dazzling rays, ap-
pealing to the senses of both sight and
hearing; .
The designs will be changed fre-
quently, so that on each day and night
of the week there will be a. different ar—
rangement of watery patterns. 01‘, if
it is desired, the patterns can be chang-
ed at intervals during the day or
night. This is made possible by the
skill of the designer, who has arranged
his plans for the pipework so that by
shutting off some of the Jets and turn-
ing on others, floral formations can be
turned into pillars of water, and
wreaths of crystal flood .into wavy
twists and turns and figures.~—Balti-
