Ayers Cherry Pectoral,

For Diseases of the Throat and Lungs,
such as Coughs, Colds, Whooplng
Cough, Bronchitis, Asthma,
and Consumption.
Probably never before in the whole history of
medicine, has any thing won so widely and SO
dceDly upon the confidence of mankind, as this
excellent remedy for pulmonary, complaints:
Through a long series of years, and among most
Of the races of men it has risen higher and higher
in their estimation, as it has become better known.
Its uniform character and power to cure the va
rious affections of the lungs and throat nave
made it known as q reliable protector against
them, While adapted to milder forms OF disease
and to young children, it is at the same time the
most ~effectual remedy that can be'glven for lnclp-
lent consumption, and the dangerous affections
of the throat and lungs. AS a provision, against
sudden attacks of CsoWp, 1t should be Kept on
%hand in every family, and indeed as a!lare some
times subject to colds and coughs, all should be
provided with this antidote for them.
Although settled ption Is thought IN
durable, still great numbers of cases where ule
disease seemed settled, have been completely
cured, and the patient restored to SOUND hcailh
nv the Che7,Y.u PectoraI. SO complete Is its
mastery over the disorders of the Lungs and
Throat. that the most obstinate of them yield TO it.
When nothing else could reach them, under the
Cherry PectoraI they subside and disappear.
Singers and Public Speakers find great
protection from it.
Asthma is always relieved and often wholly
cured by it.
bronchitis is generally cured by taking the
Cherry PectoraI in small and frequent doses.
So generally are its virtues known, that we
need not publish the certificates of them here or
do more than assure the public that It's qualltleS
are fully maintained.

The Austrian or German press have been going

the French have to pay the Prusslans.

Criminal Matters.

Court Of Quarter Sessions-Judge Pa1son.
In the case of August Rosch, q boatman, who
was last week convicted of an assault and bat
terry with intent to kill, and was sentenced, a
motion was made for reconsideration of SEN
tence. But the Judge said that all the facts in
the case had been placed before the Court and
jury and fairly understood, and therefore he
would not entertain the motion.
Rose Nicholson was charged with assault and
battery upon Eliza Crossman. From the testi-
mony it appeared that one Mrs. Kenney had
been annoyed by the receipt of some $50 auony-
nous letters containing the most disgusting
attacks upon her character, and suspecting the
defendant in connection Herewith, induced Mrs.
Crossman to call on her concerning the matter.
The two women INDUCED in pretty high talk,
and the prosecutrix said that the defendant
slapped her on the cheek. This was denied by
the defense and it was alleged that the prosecu-
trix did all the striking. Jury out.
Business was rather tardy in this court to-day.
The Caucasian JurOr-The Coal Gases.
Nfsi Psfus-Judge Shars,0Ood.
In the matter of Mr.. Cullin, who was fined
and committed by Judge Ludlow in the Com
mon Pleas for refusing TO do juror service be-
cause colored man was on the jury, notice was
this morning given that his discharge would be
applied for on habeas corpus, and hearing will
be had on Friday.
The Attorney General has taken out writs of
quo l1OrrantO against the Delaware aud West
ern and Lackawanna and Bloomsbury Railroad
Companies, to show cause why their charters
should not be forfeited for excessive charges for
carrying coal. The writs were made returnable
at Harrisburg next month.

anniversary of the Sunday-school of ST. Johns
Evangelical Lutheran Church, on Race street.
above Fifth, was commenced This church was
founded in 1906 and has become the mother of
quite number of Lutheran congregations In

Mayer, and the second, and still officiating, Rev.
Joseph A Seiss, ID. ID. The Sanday-school
which at present has membership of about45O,
was organized in 1921, by Adam Keller; and we
have in its history an indication of the harmony
that has always prevailed. similar to that which
existed in the church. 1t has had but two super
intendents, James Keller, aud VIM. NJ. Heyl
who died few months ago.
In commemoration of the fiftieth anniversary
of the school, the church edifice was appropri-
ately decorated. The altar was blooming with
fragrant blossoms. Over il blazed a star. The
galleries were festooned with evergreens and
the pillars were all encrcled with them. In the
Sunday school room proper there was protuse
display of flowers, and in another apartment
were ranged tables laden with refreshments.
The services, commencing at III aud ending at
12, were of a devotional character. From II
until 2 the congre cation sat down to dinner
From until there will be social reunion of
teachers and scholars and tonight the celebra-
ton will close with grand jubilee by the chill
dren. Many prominent divines will address
them, and there will be choice music. The ex-
ercises will be of great interest to all who may
attend

call them. The officials comprised Deputv
United States Marshals Edridge Murray RsaIe

Clarke, Hause, Palmer and Gegau. When the
party arrived on the ground, they found that the
whole force of Illicit distillers had been placed
in the most strategic position for attack Be-
hind every fence were concealed two or three
men, and in every house we're stationed others to
assist. No sooner had the officers of the law
come within range when they were met with
furious volley of pistol shots. They were not
blank cartridges, for the whistling Of the balls
told story that another locality would be
much safer place for the officers To this con-
clusion they came, and gracefully retired leav-
ing the unterrifed Irish in the possession of the
field An extra blast however, will be given
these pirates some of these fine mornings.

camp. the proprietor of the drug store at Crown

Donlon, beat the young man. He was arrested
and has been placed under bail by Alderman
Toland.
