THE EXETER ADVOCATE THTJRSDAY, FEB. 4, 1897. The Week's Commercial Summary. The cash reserves of the associated banks of New York now aggregate more than $52,000,000 above legal requirements, Mr. Edward Guiney has been elected President of the Toronto Board of Trade, and Mr. Elias Rogers the first Vice -Pres - 'dent, both by acclamation. The world's visible supply of wheat de- creased over 4,000,000 bushels last week, which is greater than had been expected, but It exerted no bullish influences on prices. The wheat markets have been very disappointing the past few days. It is difficult to get more than 80c. for white and red at Ontario points. There is a lull in the export demand. The week's wholesale business at To- ronto is unimportant. The more season- able weather has created an increased de- mand for sorting -up parcels and a better tone prevails. Spring goods are moving ent slowly, but from this out improve- ment may be expected. A good many bankrupt stooks are on the market, and 1rf course this militates against the trade and prices. Some dry goods jobbers are sanguine whilst others are anything but hopeful. R. G. Dun & Co.'s weekly review - of trade in the United States says: There is more business though not at better prices. It is interesting that almost all prices which change at all are lower than a week ago, and yet business is unques- tionably larger. There is a larger produc- tion, but as yet nob as much increase in consumption as there is huger buying of materials, but at present only because better prices are expected in the future. .A few conspicuous failures during the week have had no material influence. Here and There. New York exchange consumes a col- lonn in telling "Why Girls Chew Gum," and never once mentions that it is be- cause they like that sort of thing. Any one who has lost a North pole, and is willing to plank up $150,000 for Sts recovery, should communicate with Lieutenant Peary. Peary says he can find it with that sum. Evangelist Moody signed the temper- a ance pledge the other day in Boston, Mr. 1 Moody is a man of considerable resolu- tion and it is quite likely that he will keep sober hereafter. A generous subscriber to the Church of England Temperance Society has sent l the society a cheque for £250 in com- ' memoration of the preferment of a total , abstainer to the primacy of all England. The case of Sugar King Spreckels's daughter, who prefers her husband and poverty to parental favor and millions, would be more pathetic if it were not altogether probable that the old man 'wilt relent and deny her nothing but poverty. Asbestos has recently been applied by a Massachusetts firm to the manufacture of shoes for workingmen employed in foundries and smelting works. It is asserted that thenew shoes, besides being more comfortable, cost less than leather ones, and wear indefinitely. Australia has turned against the ens - toms of her Mother Country and agreed to abolish barmaids. The Act does not go into effect until June, 1899, but after that date the barmaid, who has little but tradition to defend her, will be seen sea more in the Antipodes. In a recently -published book Reginald Brett, of England, says that Queen Via a Coria once impatiently remarked: "I am no longer Queen. Mr. Gladstone is King." The Grand. Old Man always had an air of aloofness about hint, even when he was in the presence of royalty. Beacons- 8e1d, on the other hand, was always welcome at Windsor. The Queen didn't like him at first, it is true, but he gradually won her over. How? Mr. Brett puts It pithily and wittily. "In trifles Disraeli never forgot the sex of the sover- eign. In great affairs he never appeared to remember it." The Mikado of Japan and his wife are said to be a model pair, and enjoy more than their share of domestic happiness. The Empress has always expressed intense interest in all that concerns the nation, whether it be a question of the year's rice crop or one of momentous diplomatic issue. She, therefore, keeps herself in- formed on all important subjects. The Japanese Plenipotentiary on the occasion of the recent treaty ratifications at Chee- ' Foo was given a special audience after Ids return. He is not the only person who has been taken by surprise at the intern - : gent and sagacious questionings of her Majesty. e .Keen Competition.. "Climb up higher to get away from :competition" has been the motto of the Central Business College of Toronto. Im- proved courses of business training, modern and complete equipment, and the services of a full staff of seven experienced teachers, are some of the advantages en- joyed by the many young people who at- tend this popular and progressive Busi- ness School. It well deserves the foremost view!, among its competitors. Tom Reed's Vag bond Clothe. One of Tom Reed's oast off snits of clothes is wandering about the country on the person of a vagabond barber who was in a party of tramps that broke into Reed's cottage atGrand Beach last sum- mer. The fact leaked out in the Port- land police court, where one of the tramps Was arraigned on Saturday,and now the Cumberland county officials want to get a pull on that vagabond barber's whiskers. N eanwhile all 'per - eons are cautioned against bestowing. hospitalities or courtesies upon any of. Tom Reed's clothes unless Mr Reed ia. present to vouch for them—Lewiston Journal.

McDONOGH, OF TIYER1'ON, ONT• Suffered From Two Severe Attacks of Rheumatism --Doctors Feared the Trou- ble Was Going to Ills Heart --Pink Pills Cured Him and Re Gave Away His Crutches. From the Tiverton Watchman. • Anyone seeing the robust health and active form of Mr. Jack McDonogh, who is managing Mr. A. Gilchrist's harness business during his absence in Scotland, would be considerably surprised to learn that only two years ago he was a con- firmed invalid and unable to walk with- out the aid. of crutches. But such is the case, and hearing of his remarkable cure from the excruciating agony of inflam- matory rheumatism by the use of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, a representative of the Watchman called upon him to learn the particulars. Mr. McDonogh was found working at the harness bench, as well and active as any young man in the country, and in reply to a qnestion about his cure said: "Yes, mine was quite a remarkable case. Two years ago last spring, while at home in Wingham, I was suddenly taken down with rheuma- tism, my feet and ankles swelling so that I could not even put on • an overshoe. I was in bed for three weeks under the Dare of the doctor,and had to use crutches for a long time after that. The next spring the rheumatism came back again, worse than ever, attacking all my joints, but principally my ankles, knees, hips, elbows and wrists. The doctor gave me very little encouragement, and said he was afraid of it going to my heart and killing me. I had read a great deal about Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, and the cures they had wrought, and I determined to try them. At first I did not notice much change, but before I had taken a half dozen boxes I was so much improved that I had given away my crutches and have never required their use since.; I still took the Pink Pills 'for some time longer and I have never had a touch of rheumatism since, and hope I never may. I can say that Pink Pills cured me of a bad case of rheumatism and I cheerfully recommend them to others suffering as I did." Dr. Williams' Pink Pills strike at the root of the disease, driving it from the system and restoring the patient to health and strength. In cases of paralysis, spinal troubles, locomotor ataxia, scietiea, rheu- matism, erysipelas, scrofulous troubles, etc., these pills are superior to all other treatment. They are also a specific for the troubles which make the lives of so many women a burden, and speedily restore the rich glow of health to pale and sallow cheeks. Men broken down by overwork, worry or excesses, will find in: Pink Pills a certain cure.

CABIN JOHN BRIDGE. • A Beenarkablo tiiructure—Origin of Its Name, •• Seven miles from West Washington, upon what is celled the Conduit road, which carries the water supply of the eapital.from•the Great fabs of the Poto mac to Washington, • is one of the most note structures of modern times. This structure is a bridge of a single span, called the Cabin John 'bridge, built by the United States government for the purpose of carrying the water main across a ravine. Flowing through this ravine, in its rocky bed, is a small stream called Cabin John creek, from which the bridge takes its name. The stream has its origin in Rockville, McL, and its outlet at the Potomac, notfar away. • Ixr constructing the Washington aque- duct the fzrs't serious difficulty • was encountered at Cabin John creek. Here a deep ravine obstructed the way. The genius of man surmounted this obstruc- tion and the result was a model of en- gineering shill, A fine stone arch, 220 ' feet in width and 110 feet in height, spans the- ravine and the creek and has the distinction of being the largest single arch in the world. It is built of brown sandstone brought from the quarries of Seneca, about 15 Hiles above this point, and is of solid masonry. Its construction was begun in 1853, under the supervision of the war department, during the official torn of Jefferson Davis, by its architect and engineer, General M. C. Meigs, In 1862, owing to pressure of work in this department, the work of construe- tion was transferred to the interior de- partment—Caleb B. Smith, secretary— and remained there until 1867, about the time of, its completion. During the pro- cess of building the names of Presidents Franklin Pierce and • Abraham' Lincoln and of Secretaries of War Jefferson Davis and Edwin M. Stanton were inscribed on one of the large stones on the west end of the bridge. After the secession of the south the name of Jefferson Davis was cut out, ,and only a blank space re- main to tell of the oleliteration. This celebrated, bridge and the stream that it spans derive their names from a solitary settler, who, tradition says, ap- peared on this spot some time before the war of the Revolution, and built near the banks of the beautiful Potomac a rude log cabin. For a number of years he oc- cupied these quarters and was ]mown only by the name of John, or Cabin John. His only companions were three fierce hunting dogs, which were sheltered among the rocks near their master's abode. These dogs always accompanied John on his excursions about the country and served to protect him from the too curia ons intrusion of visitors and also from suspicious strangers who might appear in that section. The settler spent most of his tune hunting and fishing, which were his chief means of support. His garments were made from the skins of wild animals, and his general appearance was not attractive. He seemed to avoid companionship with pian, although pos- sessing qualities fitting him for such associations. Those who visited his cabin said that he was a musician and that he played skillfully upon a violin singing songs the words of which seemed to recall memories and friends of other days. Tradition throws no other light upon this strange being, whence he came or whither he went. He disappeared suddenly one day as mysteriously as he had appeared. A search was made for him, but no trace could be found. His dogs deserted their rock bound kennel, and. his cabin crum- bled to the ground. Little did John of the cabin think that a wonderful work of man would one day bear his humble name and hand it down to future gener- ations.—Washington Post. Daniel De Poe's Niece.. The supposed destruction of Juan Fernandez island, famous as the home of Alexander Selkirk, whose fate suggested. "Robinson Crusoe," brings to mind the fact that the niece of Daniel De Foe lived. at Calvert, Cecil county, where she mar- ried and died. The name of De Foe's niece was Elizabeth • Maxwell. She was 18 years of age when the left her uncle's home, in London. The cause of her departure is said to have been on account of a young man of whom her mother and uncle disap- proved. The young lady is said to have been a determined girl, and, hoarding a vessel, she agreed to be sold for a term of years to pay her passage to the new world. She reached Philadelphia in the autumn of 1718 and was sold with sev- eral ethers who had been brought over on the vessel. Her purchaser was Andrew Job of Brick Meeting House, now Cal- vert, Md. In 1725 Miss Elizabeth was married in the old meeting house to Thomas Job, son of the old Quaker who bought her. After the wedding she wrote her uncle and informed him of her whereabouts and circumstances. De Foe replied that her mother was dead, but some property had been willed to her. The author ex- pressed great desire that his niece take good care of the effects that had been left her, as they had descended to the family from their Flemish ancestors, who sought refuge under Queen Elizabeth from the tyranny of Philip of Spain. Several pieces of the furniture are still in the keeping of descendants in Cecil county, among them two chairs owned by Hannah Griffith, both coming from De Foe's study. One is in its original condition. It is a heavy chair, with oaken seat and carved legs and back. Daniel De Foe Job, one of Elizabeth Job's grand- sons, describes his grandmother as a little woman, passionately fond of flowers and retaining her activity of mind and body until the end of her life, in 1782. She was 82'years old. Another grandson, Andrew Job, the hermit of Nottingham forest, died in the ninety-second year of his age. The sole descendants bearing the Job name is Haines Job, who resides near Calvert. -- Baltimore Sun. Steel Frame Construction in Churches. In comparison with the number of new buildings erected for various other uses the number built for church purposes is extremely small, but among these a considerable number are now built with the steel frame construction so commonly used in the business buildings, and the proportion of churches so construgted is increasing. ` In crowded cities' on lots in which the space is limited it saves room, as it does in any building, on account of the lessthickness of walls required, and in large interiors, where bulky stone columns might otherwise be used to sup- port arches or domes or roof trusses, it permits the use of much smaller ccllumns, with a lessened obstruetibn to the view.- —New York Sun.
