There is more catarrh in this Sec
ton of the country than all other
diseases put together, and until the
last few years was supposed to be in
durable. For great many years
doctors pronounced it local disease
and prescribed local remedies, and
by constantly falling to cure with
local treatment, pronounced 1t IN
curable. Science has proven catarrh
to be constitutional disease, and
therefore requires constitutional
treatment. Halls Catarrh Cure,
manufactured by F. j. Cheney d Co.
Toledo, Ohio, is the only cOnstitu-
tional cure on the market. 1t is
taken internally IN doses from 10
drops to teaspoonful. 1t acts di-

one hundred dollars for any case it
fails to cure. Send for circulars and

At station on the Santa Fe, not
a thousand miles out of Wichita, the
agent oversight himself one NOR
ming recently, and as the A a. m.
mail and express came laundering
in he sprang from his couch, grabbed
his pantaloons in one hand and the
mail bag in the other and started for
the platform. He was only half
awake; the conductor shouted "all
aboard" and so out he bounced just
as the train pulled out, threw the
trousers in the mail Car door, and
stood there in the pale, silvery
moonlight, with dreamy express
sion on his face and a boil on the
calf of his leg and tried to get into
the mail bag.

I, testified

ASYLUM lutuicdl SIdII, IeSllUeu
that there were over LOCO patients i'm
the institution, which is calculated to
accommodate 600 at the outside, and the
number of attendants was much too
limited. Further evidence was to the
effect that the patients were fed on pigs
heads for All entire year, with potatoes
for vegetables, once a week. There
was no service and the patients fought
for possession of the potatoes with the
result that the weak got none, and over
fifty OF the inmates became afflicted
with scurvy. This was nnder former
administration. One of the medical
staff testified that in one ward there are
twenty-eight violent patients. with only
nine rooms to care for them in, or an
average of three in each room. 1t was
absolutely necessary to have only one
or two in some OF the rooms, so that four
persons were crowded into others.
These rooms are 5xl0 feet in size. The
beds are two and one-half feet wide. but
in many cases two patients are forced to
sleep in them. Under such cIrcum-
stances, with insufficient attendance,
the patients would Chamber over the
cots and fight, and the medical attend
ant was frequently called up six or
eight times in the course of a single
night to go to patients who were at
tempting to commit suicide or murder.
This state of affairs was reported to the
members of the county board again and
again, but nothing was done to remedy
it. 1t was further in evidence that only
one and One-half yards of flannel 10
each patient was furnished last winter.
Mrs. Shedd also testified that she had
heard that some of the male patients
had keys to the doors of the female
wards. These things. she said. had all
been brought out in previous investi-
CATION by the Woman's Protective assO-
clatiOn, and copy of the report ON this
investigation was put in evidence.

CHICAGO, May 13.-The heroine of
the sensational elOpement to Milwau-
kee. Mrs. Pauline Fuller Aubery,
daughter of Chief Justice Fuller, of the
United States supreme court, is looking
for the wedding present of elegant
vases from Paris, which never
came. She is the latest victim
of willie Tascott," the nickname
given by the authorities to a. custom
house swindler, who for some time past
has been operating in Chicago. April
l, Mrs. Aubery was. called into the par
lOr at 3S01 Vincennes avenue by serv-
ant, who said a man wanted to see her
on government business. She entered
the room and was met by the same in
dividual who has victimiZed so manv
other ladies. In we'll chosen language
he begged her pardon for intruding, but
was friend of her father,
and the object of his call was
to save her some money. There
was a box of vases consigned to her
from Paris at the custom house. Mrs.
Aubery was delighted. and was won
dering who could be the sender. She
asked the caller if he had brought the
case with him. He replied that he was
sorry, but the box could not be deiiv-
cred until the charges, $14.9S were paid.
To corroborate his statement he showed
a receipt for s14.9S signed by Tom Col
Inns, appraiser. II the charges were
not paid additional charges would be
put upon the goods in day or two.
Mrs. Aubery left the room for her
pocketbook, and was shocked to find
S. in it. Would the custom
house man accept S. On account and
come again tomorrow, after she had
seen Mr.. Aubery. That evening young
Aubery readily acquiesced to his wife's
request and gave her SO bill. At the
supper table the young couple told the
family of the occurrence, and Mr.. Aub-
fooled. They would not believe it,
however, and looked anxiously for the
vases day by day. but have never seen
them. There are two men engaged in
this city in this kind of swindIing.

SARAH ALTHEA'S CASE.


The United States Supreme Court

cisiOn.
: WASHINGTON, May 13.-The supreme
court to-day affirmed the judgment of
the United States circuit court for the
Northern district of California, III the
case of David S. Terry ct ux., appel
lants, VS.. F. w. Sharon. etc. This is a
SUIT brought by Sarah Althea Hill
Terry. The court holds that in the
Original cases. the citizenship of parties
being in different states, and the object
OF the suit, the cancellation of forged
instrument, being one of the oldest
heads of equity jurisdiction, the
case presented was one of prima
facie jurisdiction, and if there
were any errors in the original decision
they must be presented on appeal
from the decree in that case, and can
not be considered in this case, which is
an appeal from decision reviewing the
action in the name of the executor of
the deceased, Sharon, and that the OBJ
jectiOns urged to that decree of revivOr
are frivolous. Opinion by Justice Mil
Ter. The court also affirmed with costs
the Judgment of the supreme court of
appeals of West Virginia in the case of
David Freeman, plaintiff in error, VS..
Joseph V. Williams. This decision is
of some importance, as the court holds
that parties cannot be held liable for
seizures of property committed as acts
of legitimate warfare during the recent
rebellion.

the supreme court, ON application of
Elijah Smith and Edward r. Fell,
stockholders in the Oregon Railway and
Navigation company, restraining, until
further hearing. the proposed issue of
new stock by the Oregon Transconti-
mental company. and also restraining
any pledge or other disposition by that
company of its holdings of the Rail-
way and Navigation company's shares.
The injunction is directed against the

Simon, A. G. Fulton, T. Harris Bart
lett, NJ. G. Holland and A. D. Charleton.
The authorized capital stock of the

S40,00O,0O0. On Saturday last kilograms
brought the announcement that
on Friday the board of directors
of the Oregon & TranscOntinental,
pursuant to telegraphic instructions
from Mr.. Willard, had passed resolu-
tiOns directing that the remaining
S10,000,000 of authorized capital stock
should be issued at once: that the CON-

Value of Royal China.


I read in a contemporary that the
value OF the The china at Buekingham palace
l should think it does, and 94OO,OOO
would not be an extravagant estimate
considering that the Sevres dessert
service in the green drawing-room at
Windsor is valued at 100000, and the
Rose du Barri vases in the corridor at
ESQ, 600, while there are six Sevres vases
at Buckingham palace for which there
would be an eager competition if they
were put up tomorrow at e30,000. The
whole of this china belongs to the crown,
which practically means that it is the
property of the country. as indeed it
ought to he, considering that the whole
OF it was paid for-principally during

THE COPPER CRASH.
Familiar Echoes From the Lips
of Interested Parties.


New YORK, May 13.-At the steam-.
ship dock to-day many prominent cop
per operators from this city and Boston
were impatiently awaiting the arrival
OF the Cunarder Servia for definite in
telligence Of the result of the European
conference between the American mine
representatives and the defunct French
syndicate people. Mr.. Haggin, who is
the sole owner of the Anaconda mine,
looked decidedly savage when ques-
toned about the result of his journey
abroad. He said with emphasis that his
trip had been productive of no good.
I'VE were unable to come to any agree
ment. and have come back TO throw our
metal on the market for what it will
bring" He positively declined to
continue the conversation further.
Col L. L. Liyermore, who accompanied
Mr.. Haggin and the other American
mine owners abroad, was inclined to be
more communicative. He stated that
since the arrival of his party in New
York they had received information by
cable from Paris which considerably
changed the aspect of affairs. The re-
port, Col. Livermore said, that the
Americans had found the Frenchmen
reluctant to meet the mine owners half
way in setting the difficulty was en-
tireiy without foundation. 1--WE sailed
for Europe" Mr.. Livermore said, be
fore the crash occurred. The failure
came before we reached the other side.
When the French syndicate went under
the copper held by the foreign cor
poration amounted to over hundred
and seventy-ive thousand tons. Most
of the metal was held i'm Paris.
In London there wasn't possibly
more than twenty-five thousand tons.
The Bank of France and the ROths-
childs held 100000 tons. We were
anxious to come to some understanding
by which the metal could be disposed Of
without loss, and to avert the diSaS-
trouS effect of having it thrown upon
the market in lump. The Frenchmen
seemed always ready and willing to
enter into any agreement to prevent a
panic. The French banks which held
the copper, even now, have entire con-
fidence in the metal as security"
During the afternoon Col. Livermore's
rooms at the Brunswick were filled with
copper dealers, and a
lengthy conference was held, at which,
it is stated. that several cablegramS
which reached New York soon after the
Servia left Liverpool, were carefully
considered.
PARIS, May 13.-The LIE Paris says
that subscriptions for over One-half Of
the capital stock of the new Compton,
d d'EscOmpte have been promised. The
list will open tomorrow.

BLACK PUMPED AGAIN.
DIR. Cronin Evidently Did Not
Visit Toronto.

CHICAGO, May ia rowboat be-
longing to private parties has been
missing from pier on the lake shore
near the north end of Lincoln park
since the night of DR.. Cronin's disap-
pearance. Where the boat was usually
moored is the spot where the prisoner
Woodruff says he supposed the body of
the woman in the CrOnln disappearance
case was left. After Woodruff drove
from the park with the trunk, he says
a man shouted to him. The man who
did the shouting was Lake View
policeman. The police claim to have
discovered that Woodruff was impli-
Gated in a murder in Colorado, some
time ago. The Daily News this morn
ing says: Every effort to verify the
Toronto stories about DR.. CrOnin
has proved abortive. Saturday morn
ing the Chicago papers contained
Cronin was in that city and had been
recognized by an old acquaintance,
lately hailing from Chicago. The Sun
day papers printed interviews with
Cronin, crediting him with saying many
peculiar things. All the Toronto stories
were apparently telegraphed to Chicago
by one and the same person, and he ap-
parently had the information exclusive.
The morning News attempted to get
at the truth of the matter. In
answer to telegram, sent from this
office to reliable and prominent editor
of Toronto, came the following: $50
far as known, Cronin is not here. 1t is
suspected he is in st. GATHERINGS, where
he has many friends, bnt there is no
certainty" Another Toronto news
paper man telegraphed: Cannot find
anything about CrOnin. Whole thing
believed to be fake" Woodruff,
alias Black, was to-day bound over
to the criminal court. Afterward
he was shown dozen photographs and
asked to pick out DR.. Cronin's, though
the doctors picture was among the
not point it out. The fellow was then
required by the officers to sign a state
ment showing that he had failed to
recognize any of the photographs as
CrOnin's. Woodruff, or Blacks story
that he received money from his
father, j. Black. of San Francisco,
on Tuesday last, has been veri-
fed by the records of the Wells, Fargo
Express company. Black now makes
the positive statement that he knows
Cronin is alive, but is unable or un-
willing to say how he knows it. He
says he has not told all he knows about
the trunk, and will not until his father
and brother arrive to bail him out.
Patrick McGarry, who was sent
to Toronto by DR.. Cronin's
friends here. wired tonight from that
city as follows: 1.-THE proprietor
and clerk on duty do not recognize
Cronin's picture as stopping at the Ros-
sin house last week. His name is not
registered at all. No signature resem-
bles Cronin's. The reported interview
did not take place. Long is on the En-
pire (newspaper). Have engaged best
detectives and lawyers. Publish in the
morning papers. PAT MCGARRY.''
The court of Foresters to which
Cronin belonged in Chicago voted to-
night 500 to aid in the search for him,
and passed resolution calling on the
other courts Qodges) throughout Illinois

MADISON. Wis, May 12.-Madison'
quiet and high-minded society is about
TO receive a decided shock in the way of
a social scandal. 1t will be a divorce
suit, in which the plaintiff is the wife
of Frank \. Flower. who held the office
of state statistician during Gov. Rusk's
administration, and the bill will be
filed with the clerk of the circuit court
tomorrow. The complaint alleges
grossly cruel and inhuman treatment,
and there is the usual third party in the
case in the person of handsome young
lady some twenty years of age. The
scandal has been whispered by the
gosSips for some weeks, but the eX-
pected proceedings failed to be inaugu-
rated. The various rumors had appar-
emily been wasted, when tonight
THE INJURED WIFE
placed the bill in the hands of her law
yer. James l.. O'Connor. When the leg
islature created the office of statistician,
Frank A. Flower and family moved to
the capital. and he assumed the duties
of the new office. They moved in the
best society, and the husband soon
built a handsome residence on the lake
shore in one of the prettiest portions of
the city. Near neighbors to the Flowers
was family named Baker, Mr.. Baker
being a one-armed veteran employed in
the capital, and possessed of
SEVERAL PRETTY DAUGHTERS.
One of the latter. Miss Olive, is a fe-
markably handsome and intellectual
young lady, who graduated from the
city high school four years ago, winning
the commencement prize in oratOry.
Rumor soon noticed that the attentions
of the state statiStIcian toward Miss
Olive was not becoming to man of
family, and reaching the ears of the
wife the trouble commenced. Senti-
mental and insinuating missives from
the fair maiden were intercepted, and
when the wounded wife demonstrated
with her lord, it is alleged in the COM
plant that he brutally assaulted he, and
applied lewd names to her. Proceed
ings were threatened and withdrawn,
until climax was reached tonight.
Mrs. Flower has suffered a serious ill
ness, alleged to have been augmented
by the
CRUELTIES OF HER HUSBAND,
who also, it is claimed. has neglected
her shamefully while in this condition.
Among other things that will be pro-
duced as evidence against the husband.
are memoranda of expenditures for B.

reversed) and several letters OF COM
promising character. Several new and
spicy developments are expected by
the hungry scandal mongers when the
case comes up in court. 1t is the big
gest social sensation that society here
has experienced in several years. Before
his residence here Flower was on the
staff of the Milwaukee Evening Wis
consin, and is well known as an anthor-
ity on national labor statistics. A few
days ago he was offered position atWest
Superior to boom the city, and accented.
Mrs. Flower was, previous to marriage,

Senator Plumb has urged this action on

granted pardons to all deserters from
the army and navy. Since that time
4O,s00 enlisted men in the army alone
have deserted, and only about 5000 of
these have been captured. The par
