remedies prescribed by the best medical
talent of the country. Its effect is aston
ishing, in few days the soreness and
irritation is removed /; the skin becomes
smooth and healthy, and remains perm
anently healed, without the use of any
other remedy,

pies, and every form of disease of the
skin is punctuaily cured, no matter of
how long standing. 1t has cured bad
cases of Inftamed Eyelids, and Dischar-
ges from the Ear, when nothing else

sisted an other treatment for many
years, have been effectually cured by the

The Contested Elections in PhiIadel-
pbia.

On Friday, in the Court of Common
Pleas, Philadelphia, VIM. b. Mann, Esq,
fled three separate petitions protesting
against VIM. A. Leeeh, Joseph Megary
and General John T. Ballier being allowed
70 occupy and perform the duties Of the
offices of Register of Wills, Clerk of Or
phan's Court and City CommiSsioner res
pectively. The petitions, after general
allegation of fraud, set forth that
The election officers in said divisions
falsely aud fraudHlently permitted and suffer
ed a large number Of persons not qualified
voters of said divisions, to vote at said cleo
ton to the number of ,949 and upwards,
whose votes we're taken and counted In the
general return for said offices whose names
were not on the list furnished by the City
Commissioners to the election officers, with
out requiring or receiving proof of the quail
ifcations Of said voters, and without requir-
ing or receiving proof by q qualified electoT
of the residence in said divisions of said vo-
ters, and without adding the names of the
persons making proof to the list furnished
by the City Commissioners. They falsely
and fraudulently permitted large number
Of persons, to the number Of AL and up
wards, not qualified to vote in said divisions,
whose votes were taken and counted in the
general return for the said Office of City
Commissioner whose names are to your pc
titiOners unknown, who voted in the names
of those who were upon the list furnished
by the City Commissioner to the election
officers of said divisions
Other instances of fraud are alleged, aud
twenty-four election divisions in the Second,
Third, Fourth, Fifth, Eighth, Seventeenth
and Twenty-ffth wards were recited, in
which l,949 persons voted who were not
qualified and All in the names of others.
These figures, it is said, have been arrived at
by actual count, and when proved to the sat
isfaction of the Court will show that Messrs.
Campbell, Batter and Urwiler, Republic.
ans, have been elected to the above offices by
majorities of S32, ,6S4 and 48l respectively.
IF the contestants succeed in proving these
frauds, and secure their offices, as it is
claimed they will, then Judge William s

rily follow. - Rttsbarg Commercial

Father Hyacinthe on the English sum
day.

A. tho I,ta roman CStholic Congress at
Malines, Father Hyacinthe spoke on the
education of the working classes The fol-
lowing is a passage relating to the mode of
observing the Sabbath in France as compar-
ed with Protestant countries:
"Often, on Sunday, passing through our
great towns, whittier am called to bear the
words of God, | sec the smoking pave
ments, the dust that rises, | hear the thou
sand noises of toll, and | say to myself, 1t
is France that least observes the Sabbath.
I yreply to me Respect liberty, respect
co cience will say no harm Of liberty;
love il, but | do not cOnfound IL with IL
eense. No, we do not desire to i'm
pair liberty. But there is another objec-
tion-the interests Of industry. Let US ex-
anime two industrial powers which are fully
our equals, if they DO not surpass us-Eng-
land aud the United States. In London, in
the great city, where floods of busy men I'll
the streets in the MIDST of the repeated and
incessant sound all the echoes of labor,
there occurs every week day which recalls
to me those Of my childhood. The gigan-
tic machine, which, on the eve of that day,
put all in movement, stops; everywhere re-
pose and silence; the beils alone-Protest-
ant bells, | know, but they so well remem-
Der to have been Catholic while awaiting
the hour to become so again-that they
send their sweet melodies heavenward. 1t
seems as if the very fogs Of the Thames and
of the ocean had grown lighter.
Let me not be told that the Sunday rest
in England is a remnant of feudality and
aristocraCy, soon to be swept away by the
breath Of Liberty Behold in America that
strong and young Anglo Saxon race, which
certainly is not OF the Middle Ages, aud
which has in It's constitution the most COM
piete liberty. 1t aso observes the Sunday,
whilst waiting Co rebecome Catholic, and
sends us across the ocean the same answer
as England--thc silence of God at the bias
phemies of men. No; we do not ask that
the Sunday should be imposed upon the
people by laws Of which the application
would offer more Inconvenience than ad
vantage We ask the liberty of the Sunday,
and Sunday by liberty. We only ask that
the pnblie works shall scrupulOusly respect
the Sunday. and brce the individual to
blush before the state; that the princes of
industry, Of thought, of eloquence, shall
act IN concert; that they shall create fruitful
currents in the public mind; and little by
little things will change their aspect noise
will die away, work will be suspended, and
and God will have His day, and the people
likewise.

BORING FOR IRON ORE ON THE SoUTH
MOUNTAIN. Mining Register notices
the recent boring operations for iron ore on
South Mountain, about fourteen miles from
Carlisle, and says the indications are that
there is an immensity of ore on the loca-
tion. The largest of the pits opened shows
ore in the bottom and on all sides, neither
wall nor floor having been reached since ex-
caYation TO supply the furnaces was COM
menced. Recently, however, with a view
TO test the depth and area of the deposit,
boring operation was started from the pit.
To date one week ago the explorers had
bored down seventy weight feet all the time
In ore, the ore improving in quality as depth
was attained, the progress made in sinking
meanwhile distinguishing from day to day,
in consequence of the increasing density
and compactness of the ore as bored into
downwards
The result disclosed by the boring done TO
date of last report received, assures a face
of one hundred feet of ore. And the ex-
p4orations will be continued till the bottom
and the boundaries ofthe deposit ore approx
imately ascertained, the testimony Of trial
openings lang ago made, together with the
geological evidences which abound in the
vleinage, warrants the common opinion and
belief that the intact and compact deposit
Of ore is more than quarter of mile in
width and several miles in length. The ore
is exposed in old pith, all in range, for
distance of six miles.

INC Contested Elections.

The contested elections in this city, Of the
Register Of Wills, City Commissioner and
Clerk of the Orphans Court, are destined
to receive much attention. Hitherto there
has been no case In which so many officers
have been contested at one time. and the
evidence, pro and con, In each case, will
have influence upon the others General
Ieech was returned as elected by majority
of 1898 votes. 1t is charged that the true
state of the poll viii show that his opponent
William Y. Campbell, was elected by ma
jority of S35. 1t is alleged that instead of
Joseph MegaTy being elected Clerk Of the
Orphan Court by majority of 1917 votes,
the true majority was for Richard NJ. Bat
turs 6S4 votes. General <Balier's majority
was at 1884 it is declared that j. f. Urwi
Ter was elected by majority of 81 votes.
The allegations of fraud are made against
the officers of election in certain divisions Of
the Second, Third, Eoarth, Fifth, Eighth,
Seventeenth and Twenty. fifth Wards. The
character of the alleged frauds is as follows:
Allowing persons not qualified as voters
and whose names are not on the lists of tax
ables, to vote, without requiring proof of
their right, residence and payment Of taxes.
as is necessary in such cases; allowing per
sons not qualified to personate citizens who
are entitled; neglecting to mark the letter
"Y" opposite the names of persons who
had voted; refusing to inquire into the quail
ifcations of voters legally challenged, and
other acts in violation of the law The ale
cation is, that the votes in the divisions and
precincts specified were thereby rendered IL
legal, and it is claimed that the whole vote
in these division should be stricken out and
virtually annulled. Thus far there is moth
ing but the allegation of the petitions of
the contestants. The parties claiming the
Offices have ten days to answer, and if the
reply takes issue upon the charges made
there viii be long and tedious investiga-
ton which may delay the settlement of the
question for several months. .-PhlodetDhid
