Rich and Poor,
Prince and Peasant, the Millionaire and
Day Laborer, by tbeir common use of
Ibis remedy, attest tbe world-wide rep
utation of Ayer's Pills. Leading phy
sicians recommend tbese pills for
Stomach tmd Liver Troubles, Costive
ness, Biliousness, and Sick Headache ;
also, for Rheumatism, Jaundice, and
Neuralgia. They are sugar-coated; con
tain no calomel ; are prompt, but mild,
in operation ; and, therefore, the very
best medicine for Family Use, as well as
for Travelers and Tourists.
"I have derived great relief from
Ayer's Pills. Five years ago I was
taken so ill with
Rheumatism
that I was unable to do any work. I
took three boxes of Ayer's Pills and
was entirely cured. Since that time I
am never without a box of these pills."
Peter Christensen, Sherwood, "Wis.
"Ayer's Pills have been in use in my
family upwards of twenty years and
have completely verified all that is
claimed for them. In attacks of piles,
from whicb I suffered many years, thej
afford greater relief than any othel
medicine I ever tried." T. F.Adams.
Holly Springs, Texas.
"I have used Ayer's Pills for a num
ber of years, and have never found any
thing equal to them for giving me an
appetite and imparting energy and
strength to the system. I always keej
them in the house." R. D. Jackson
"Wilmington, Del.
" Two boxes of Ayer's Pills cured mc
of severe

A Photograph Mystery.
A well-known photographer, says tho
London Tablet, xil vouch for the follow
ing factc: He w:ib called in one day to
take a photograph of a yomiij girl of
about 20, who had died n few days be
fore. The corpse was laid out upon a
bed with the hands elnippd over the
bieast. Death had rtune very svntly to
her, c:iJ. except for t lie- stiIJiu" she lay
theie 3 if in sleep. Some ilowers had
been strewn over th body, and on the
floor by the aide of tbe bed. and standing
ont in black relief against it, was tbe
coffin. The photographer silently ad-
i'usted his lens and tootc tho photograph.
)nring the ten minute'; needed for the
exposure, the photographer paced up and
down in the long corridor ontsido the
room where the dead girl lay. "When
he returned ho saw that on tho lid of the
coffin was a flower, which was not so be
fore. How did that flower coiup there?
No one had entered the room, the win
dows were closed Jind there was not a
breath of air stirring. "Why was the
flower now lying on the coffin, wLeu a few
minutes before it was on the bed be
tween the hands of the corpse? The
photographer listened, but ho could hear
no sound except tbo beating of his own
heart. In a fewmoments, however, he
determined to dismiss tho question from
his mind and busied himself with pack
ing up his instrument. Then ha paused
possibly the falling flower lind left a
trace on the negative, or, as the day was
gloomj', tho photograph might riot be
quite "fcnccessfnl. He would try again.
A second photograph was taken and the
artist returned home. That night sitting
up late in his studio, he developed the
two negatives. Tho position of tho
corpse was not the same in the two neg
atives. The photographer strained his
oyes,Jhnlf disbelieving the evidence of his
own senses, but there were the two neg
atives before him, telling him in their
silent, unmistakable truthfulness, that
between the taking of the two photo
graphs the arm of the dead girl1 had dis
tinctly moved. Tho mystery of the
flower on the coffin was solved, but it was
succeeded by a mystery more terrible
still.

Bis: Tiro m Bo3ba". '
Poston, Nov. 28. The most disastrous
tiro from which Boston has suffered since
1872, and one which in property hiv
rivals tho groat conflagration at Lynn,
Tuesday, broke out abont 8:20 a. m., to
day in tho six-story ' granite building,
owned by Jordan, Marsh & Co., and oc
cupied by Ilrown, Duroll & Co., dry goods t
merchants, on Pctlford street, at the 1
corner of Kingston. The great lire of J
1S72 broke ont at the corner of Kingston
and Summer streets, and the alarm of
lo-da'fi lira was rung in from the same
b. which heralded tbe memor.ible- con
flagration that e3u?nmpd nearly $100, '
iHX),000 of propertj. The first alarm .
rung in to-day was immediately fol
lowed bv the first general alarm in Boston j
since !S7J.
To-duy's conflagration ragttl for .six
hours, burned over two ncrts of territory I
covered by magnificent structures, and J
entailed a loss of, as now estimated, $4,
000,000. The general alarm was soon
followed by calls upon all tho neighbor
ing cities and towns for assistance.
Seven people in the building at the
corner of Kingston and Bedford street a
were overcome by tho smoke, but "wore
rescued by the bravery of police sergeant
Kimball, patrollman Haines, and ex
councilman Barry. A policeman and
several firemen nre reported to have been
seriously injured or burned. The origin
of the fire is not definitely known, but it
is attributed to the electric wires. Later
estimates of the loss place it at nearlv
S.TOOO.flOO- Ahrvnf. iron linnrlrpil firms wavk i
burned out, and one hundred agents of
New lork and western firms had their
headquarters destroyed.
ihe agents of a large number of the m-1
surance companies interesieu were seen
by a reporter and asked as
to tbeir
losses. The risks which could be nscer-
tained to-day amount to nearly $2,7f0,000,
while a large number of companies have j
not yet been heard from. The fire, com-
ing as it does on top of the great blaze
at Lynn, is a crushing blow to many of
tho smaller insurance companies, aiidit
is not at all unlikely that it will cause
tbe hU-sp-nsion of some of them.
Sen Butler's Kew Book.
Is 13en Ilutler loaded for beat ? Speak
ing of his coming book, ho says ho has
"a personal desire that the trno inward
ness of tho actions of some soiklisant
saintsmartyrs, heroes and generals, who
have figured so romantically in tho his
tory of the greatest occurences in the life
of any nation, as peddled out to maga
zines at so many pennies a line, shall bo
set right by an impartial statement of
tho true facts and incident of their ca
reers. And I think I shnll have will
enough to sustain mo until I have done
justice to both my friends and enemies,
arid especially the latter.'
