Fin de Siecle TYPOGRAPHY You know that an original and handsome job of printing always attracts your attention. You unconsciously form an estimate of a business house by the quality of the printed matter which it sends out. Old style of printing denotes lack of progressiveness.
You do not wish the same old ideas and hackneyed, old fogy style in your printed matter but you want it typographical art. 1 he work turned out by the type department of the Argus and Patriot office is right in line with that of the most progressive metropolitan offices and the least experienced can detect its superiority over the work of other establishments. This result is attained by careful and expert workmen, who have at their disposal the latest and most effective materials with which to do work. Xo office in the State turns out as effective, up-to-date printing as does the Argus and Patriot. Of course you do not wish to use the ordinary, old fashioned, cheap looking printed matter when you can get it executed in the most modern manner, cheaply and prompt by at the ARGUS AND PATRIOT OFFICE.

It was a struggle for dear life. Despair gave me strength Io make a last etl'ort to avert the blow.

Paine's celery com pound will drag them back and plaut tneir reet squarely ou nrm ground. By regulating the nervous system and compelling the vitiated blood to gam a larger proportion of red corpuscles, all the organs of the body whose busiuess it is to repair and rebuild the tissues are aroused. Paine's celery compound does not fail to increase the appetite, to augment the powers of assimilation, to increase the weight of the body, to purify the blood and to stop the progress of structural changes, when liver and kidney diseases have fastened themselves upon the system. There is not a single city without some perfectly attested cure of liver or kidney disease, chronic constipation, salt rheum, plagueing eczema or general poor health bv the use of I'aine's celery compound. Impaired strength and unstrung nerves, made known by numbness of the limbs, nervousness and a dissatisfied state of the mind all these weaknesses become things of the past after taking that best of health givers Paine's celery compound.

The most rational way of getting rid of rheumatism, neuralgia and insomnia, and getting hack sound health is to husband every mite of strength, and to set about a radical, all-round restoring of the tired system with Paine's celery compound. It is your busiuess to furnish the bodv with nervous energy, as fast and as you can, and to get a richer, purer blood supply. There is no way in which this restorative process can be so swiftly brought about as by using Paine's celery compound. There is nothing known to physicians of the most extensive practice equal to raine's celery compound for purifying the blood and making strong, healthy nerves.

"A first to King's I hail just taken my ticket and was standing in the booking-olliee of the York station, awaiting the departure of the night mail for London, when the above words caused me to turn round with a start. There was something wierd and uncanny in the tone of tho voice hich impressed me with an indefinable feeling of apprehension I could uot account for. Turning round I found myself face to face with the speaker. He was a remarkably tall anil massively built man, possessing every indication of great personal strength. He was enveloped from head to foot in a long black cloak, buttoned closely under his chiu and reaching almost down to the ground, which concealed the hole of tiis person with the exception of a large, bony hand of a strange, unnatural, almost gleaming whiteuess.
The face also riveted my attention a broad, massive forehead, firmly set jaw, high cheekbones, a deep, sallow complexion and a pair of coal-black eyes which seemed to glow with unnatural brilliancy these were the most striking features of the strange individual who stood before me, As I confronted him, his eye rested upon me for a moment with a dark, malevolent expression, but it was instantly averted. Whether it was fancy or uot I cannot cxplaiu, but 1 felt as though under the nitliieiice of some mysterious power of fascination, which required the exorcise of all the self-control 1 possessed to overcome. Tho sound of the bell announcing the departure of my train had the effect of recalling mo to my senses, and I hastened away, not a little relieved to see my fellow-traveller, instead of following move towards the other end of the train. I soon found myself snugly ensconced in a comfortable corner of a first-class carnage, the onlv other occupant of which was a pleasant-looking old gentleman, who proved to be a very agreeable companion, for before we had gone half a doeu miles we were chatting together as gaily as though we had known each other for years, and in less than half an hour 1 had almost forgotten the unpleasantness of my recent recoutre with the individual in the black cloak. After a run of soul three hours the train drew up at Peterborough.
Here my companion and I alighted and attempted to swallow a cup o'f boiling coffee In tbe five minutes allowed. Scarcely had we taken our places again hen, chancing to look out of the carriage window, 1 beheld the identical figure in the black cloak. Again the old feeling came over ine, for. although he averted his eves tbe moment they met mine, and moved away, 1 felt, convinced he was watching me. M.y startled look must have been noticed by my fellow-traveler, for he inimedialcly asked 'Are you acquainted with the gentleman on the platform?" It was only by a great effort ihat 1 could answer the negative, adding, with assumed unconcern: "What led you to think "Because," returned my friend, "I have observed at every station where we have stopped during our journey, he has walked past our window and looked in at you as if expecting vou to recognize him.
His appearance is so remarkable that I do uot thiuk 1 could possibly have been mistaken. A cold shudder ran through my limbs, aud, as I wiped the thick, clammy perspiration from my forehead, 1 could uot help recalling all the wihl stories I had heard or read respecting the power of the evil eye, ami the mysterious influence of mind upon mind. What was the meaniug of the subtle fascination which that dark stranger seemc i to exercise over me that night? Was it only the effect of an excited imagination? I tried to persuade myself that it was a delusion a nightmare a lion dream, but it was of no avail. I was wide awake; ther was my rot, aagajaaff2rtvme' vid'ti? demeanor. bruin was in a whirl I felt sick and giddy, aud remained entranced in a kind of mor bid stupor out of which I was only awakened by the stopping of the train at ilutchm.
"Well, good-by," said my fellow-traveler, "here's the end of my journey," adding, hastily. "By Jove! here be is." I have a dim recollection of bis leaving the carriage and some one i Ue entering. Who it was I knew well, although some time elapsed before 1 coul I muster sullicieut courage to raise my eves. At last I looked up. It was as I had foreboded.
There, opposite to tne, in the far corner of the carriage, sat tin; tall figure in the black cloak, tbe same wild look in his restless eyes, the same evil expression in his forbidding face. Directly our eyes met, lie leaped from his seat with the yell of a wild beast. Something bright flashed in the dim lamp-light, and as he paused for an instant as if preparatory to a spring, I saw that his hand grasped a clasp-knife, whose long, glittering blade was stretched towards me. lu a moment the terrible truth burst ujion me I was alone with a raving maniac, the train going at express speed, and no stoppage nearer than London. Kscape was next to impossible.
I saw at a glance that in a struggle for life and death I should not stand the slightest chance against my gigantic adversary. Under the impulse of the moment 1 stretched out my hand to seize the ha.i-Ule of the door, determined to risk a desperate leap rather than await certain death by remaining where I was. A burst of fiendish laughter greeted the futile attempt. "Locked!" he yelled. Then modulating his voice by a strong effort he continued, "Now, I entreat you to be reasonable, my friend.
Let me explain. Of course you must see that you have no possible chance of escaping me. Listen calmly to what I have not to say. I took a fancy to your throat the, fust moment 1 set eyes on you in the booking-oflice at York. 1 said to myself, 'That man's throat is the very one I am in search of.
His carotid is perfect 1 will cut it "(If course I felt a natural anxiety not to lose you, and took the trouble to get out at every station to assure myself that you had uot left the carriage, for although 1 prefer doing these little things in private, yet, rather than mis-i the chance altogether, I would have stooped to the vulgarity of cutting your throat on the public platform, in the presence of a lot of coarse-minded porters. You will see that 1 am only carrying out the doctrine so admirably enunciated by my esteemed friend, the late Mr. DeQuincy, with whose lucid essay pn "Murder Considered as one of the Fine Arts" you are doubtless familiar. There shall be no indecent haste. There are yet five and twenty minutes before our train will reach town.
I will allow you, say, a quarter of an hour; ten minutes will be more than ample tune for ine to do all that I requite, ami we will, with your permission, devote tbe interval to a calm discussion of any subject you may suggest. Now, can 1 sp-iik fairer?" All tins was said in the calmest ami most natural manner. I mentally thank ed ueaveii ror this unlooked-for prieve. short as it was, 1 felt that there was yet a chance for my lit migm, nappeu In a quarter or an hour. '1 he train might be stopped by some accident, or I might even be able to make my escape by the other door.
Mill, 1 leit now Hopeless It was to spec ulate on this, lor a single look at the door convinced ine of the folly of the attempt, since, in order to reach it, 1 should have to pass my terrible companion. He looked at his wateh, and said, quietly "Ten minutes gone!" Only a short five minute." between life and death The ghastly glitter of the polished steel seemed to grow red in the pale lamp-light, and the dark, gleaming eyes were bent on me ith tbe lierce, eager look I had noticed before. A sudden thought struck me. I remembered having heard that almost all lunatics labored under some special monomania, and that by humoring them on this one point, and abstaining from contradicting them, they would ofum become so interested in the subject as to lose all consciousness of everything that was pasting around tliein, I his, then, was my last chance, and 1 resolved to try it. I at once divined my companion' weak place, and looking hi in stead ily in the face, said, as calmly a 1 could My dear 6ir, as I have still to detain you some five minutes longer, I am sure you will pardon me for asking a tingle ueatiou.

jttespeetEiinv, The Consolidated Liohtinu by C. P. Pitkin, Preeident. Mr. Dillingham, after readine.
said that. the Consolidated Lighting company, not having the necessary capital to bui.d the road, associated with them these Burlington gentlemen who were present and ready to answer any questions asked by the coancll. Mr. Dillingham next read the franchise drawn up by the company, which he said could be changed by the council, but that they had included everything they could think of in the hurried time in which it wa drawn. The iuportant points in the fran- chine are The tracks are to run down Sate street to be cemetery, up Main street to Elm, Vine and Mechau- lc; down 3iain street to Barre street, and as far as C.
H. More stone sheds: from the iunrtion of Barre street and Sibley avenue through Sabln street and Kemp avenue at least as far as A. O. Cummius' residence on Colleire street. Track-.
switches, sidimrs and turnouts are to be located hk designated by the city council. Tracks are to be of staudard gauge, four "feet eight and oue-half inches, and the rails to weigh uot less than 46 pounds to the yam, ine company is to graue me surtace ot the road bed flush with the rails on the outside and not more than one inch below the top of the rails on the inside with the same material as is used in that portion of the road in which the track is laid. The road, cross walks, are to be restored to their former condition by the company to the satisfaction of the street commissioners. If it becomes neces-fary to recrade or widen any tof the streets used hy the railroad for the benefit of the road, such regrading is to be done either by the citv or the company, to the satisfaction of the street commissioner, and the expense is to he borne equally by them. The railroad is to keep that porliouof the highway between its tracks uud for two feet each side in as good condition as the surrounding highway, except that it shall not be compelled to make repairs on bridges, aud if the highway is not so kept in repair it may be made so by the street commissioner at the expense of the road.
The railroad may remove snow and ice from its track and spread it over the street so as to give a safe and unobstructed passage for vehicles, but if the treet commissioner deems it necessary to have the snow removed from the streets the company shall remove it. The company is permitted to trim shade trees as may be necessary under the supervision of the street commissioner. The company shall apply to Its line modern devices to secure the safety of persons and property, and to prevent electrolysis of uraius and pipes in the city or injury to the Are alarm, lighting system or other property, and if any damages are caused bv Its electrical current it shall be liable therefor. The company shall place cut-outs at proper noliits along its hues so that the current mav be shut off from any street iu case of lire, aud lu case of fire, when so'directed by the chief engineer, shall cut off the electric current from its entire line. After commencing to operate its cars the company is not to discontinue or cease operating them without the consent of the city council uuless the discontinuance is without the control of the company.
The company shall run at least one car everv thirty minutes over all its lines betweenti o'clock A. M. and 10:30 P. M. If becomes necessary for the purpose of laying pipes, drains, to take up any part of the railroad track the compaov is to replace it in as good condition before.
If it becomes necessary to remove any bridge over which the company's tracks are laid, the bridge shall be replaced by an iron bridge, one-third the expense to be borne by the road aud two-thirds by the citv. The road is to be in operation before October 1, 1897. Fare shall not exceed live cents. Firemen and policemen shall be carried free. The company shall indemnify the city for all damages caused lb the construction of its line, and shall give bond for and additional bonds whenever required.
The franchise may be amended by the citv council after i0 years, upon one year's notice in writing. The company nmst accept the franchise within tJOdavs. Alter the reading ot the proposed agreement ex Gov. Dillingham asked that the council would not make any unnecessary- lay oyer giving the company tney wese gireactMiHt-orr contractors asi commence work-immediately upou receiving the franchise. City Attorney Lord asked if they bad afiv objection to a public hearing, to which Gov.
Dillingham replied that they had not. Alderman Whelan inquired it they did not have the franchise tor a road in Barre and whether or not they intended to connect both lines. Mr. Pierson replied that they had a franchise In Ilarre aud that they expected to connect the lines eventually. Aldernian Whelan again desired to know the company could not complete tbellne within a year.
Mr. Kennedy answered be could complete the road In 60 days, but there some things that may come up lu tbe way, such as legal proceedings, that would delay matters, but it is for their Interests not delay a minute. However honest their intentions may be there may be something unlocked lor delay matters anil for that reason they desire plenty of time to construct the road and gel over any obstacle. In Burling-ton they bad three years. Gov.
Dillingham illustrated some of tho and obstacles in the wav of ill- I junctions thai were brought to bear against the electric roan in ournngion ana israiiie-boro. Mr. Kennedy explained a point that was not made clear before, that they had obtained the franchise in Barre by tue con- i souttareo company waiving ine rigm inai i they had. I Mr. Lord inquired if the Barre company and the Montpelier company would not he practically under one management.
Mr. i fal l'ierson replied that it was the same com- pany. Alderman Eaton desired to know where they expected to obtain their power. Mr. Kennedy said that they had been look, is ing over several water privileges, but had withdrawn their offers and the power would probably steam situated somewhere midway between tbe two cities.
"How soon alter," asked Mr. Lord, "if tbe resolution was passed and accepted and if no legal complications arose woum ine uum pany expect to have the line in operation?" "There was a gentleman here wilh mere centlv resoonded Mr. Kennedy, "who went over tne line and said it could be built in 70 days.

M2 Recent experiments at Cripple, Creek, the extraction of gold are reported to be very successful A new process of obtaining geld by electricity Is combined with a method, of treatment by cyanide solution. The cost oi this treatment ol ore is said to be not oyer $1 per ton, even under the conditions existing at Cripple Creek, where water has be purchased and coal Is $5.50 and morp a toh. It is est! mated that when alarger mill is erected the cost of the process may be brought down probably to 60 cents per ton. The cost the ordinary cyanide treatment is generally put at about $3 per ton, but probably it nearer $4. The best point about the new process, however, is not so much its economy as its efficiency in extracting all the gold contained in the ore.
