Talking with Mr.. George Kephart, an EN-
ploye of the we'll known Westinghouse Air
brake Company, and who resides at No. Z
Grantham street, Allegheny, the writer put
the following question to him: I see you have
been treating with Drs. Copeland & Blair for
some time. What has been your experience?
Satisfactory in every sense of lhe word"
was the prompt reply.
II had been bothered with catarrh and Its at
tendant symptoms for about five years previous
to the time consulted them. SO completely
harassed was with these pains and sensations
that felt wholly unfit for either work or the
enjoyment OF the pleasures of life like other
young men of my age saw about me.
II would have dull. heavy feeling through
the front part of my head. My nostrIIs were
continually stopping up with the least cold, an
mucus from my head would drop down into
my throat, where it would assume a thick, ten
acious consistency. which would be almost i'm
possible to cough out.
II would have queer noises in nv ears, which
I at first attributed to soap getting into them,
but when my hearing began to leave me, 1
found it was something more serious. had
pains in my chest, which would shift from in
front to around under the shoulder blades. I
had a short. jerky. hacking cough, which
seemed to me to come from the stomach, which
was In bad condition.
My appetite was poos and when did eat
anything, would feel unnaturally full across
the stomach. My nights were restless and
when the time came to get up in the morning
was always tired and felt distnclined to move.
In fact, / had no ambition at all.
Hearing much of Drs. Copeland and Blair
was persuaded to try them. and you can say for
me that am more than glad did so. For, as
you can see, am to-day well man. All the
symptoms have mentioned have, under their
skillful and systematic treatment, entirely dis
appeared, and consider myself as well as ever
1 was in my life, and will gladly confirm what
/ have said to anyone who will take the trouble
to see me at my home"

Musipg lone one summer morning
In an ancient Scotch kirk-yard
By the grave OF rare old Carlyle,
Reverent bowed and deep in dreaming
Suddenly there passed maiden;
Passed, but paused. Then. smlllng quoth she:
There's noyon but stanes an brombles;
Muckle mair's in Ecclefechanr
Then the rogush maiden vanished
From the place of stones and brambles,
And left the dank old kirk-yard
With the lesson of her scorning;

THE GURRIES WIN $275.

Judge Knapp Says the Highest Value
Must be Placed on Condemned Lands.
Judge Knapp. in his charge to the jury
in the Currie award appeal, said at the
outset that he thought the matter one
rather for the jury than for the Court
"The issue,n ne said, SIS always in these
cases like The one in this, the value of
land taken by reason Of the construction
of q railroad. In such cases there is not
much light that the Court can throw on
the subject.
The value in this case is the market
value. In determining this value you
must look for the best purposes the land
can be used for. IL is in the power of the
State to take back whatever land it
wants. The right of eminent domain is
conferred on this road because it is for
the public use.
Private property can not be taken for
private use. 1t seems to be manifest JUS
tice that when property is taken against
the will of the owner the highest just
value should be placed on it. / believe
corporations do not expect less.--
ITO ascertain this value you are en-
titled to have before you men knowing
the value of the market; they may speak
from their judgement of classes Such
testimony is not objectionable. but the
testimony of man as to the actual value
of the land is not admissible.
I. You do not require q man to swear to
what yonr verdict shall be. That is the
effect of such testimony. The sales of
property adjacent should become the basis
W hat can be better?
"You must assume that a corporation
will operate to damage the lands, and all
damages that may accrue must be con-
sidered, for hereafter no other recon-
pense is open. You are not TO give full
TO-. 4 ks,f-
the fee remains with the owner of the
lands. The riparian rights are not to be
considered, for they belongto the State
"No distinction to value of lands fac
ing the railroad or adjacent thereto be-
tween Streets must be considered. You
must estimate the damages within the
street blocks without regard to
location, You need not exclude from
consideration the prospective value
of the land. In regard to what consti-
tutes a street, 1t has been held nearly
everywhere that when property is mapped
out in streets and lots the owner thereby
dedicates the streets to the pubIic.'
The jury retired and at half past four
o'clock presented their verdict to Clerk
Gritten, Judge Knapp having gone home.
1t was as follows
'Frhe jury find for the Curries thus:-Block
age, $4,000; blocks Y and %, between Avenue
B and the Newark Bay, value and damages,
$4,000, total of S26, ,5u0'
The award made by the Commissioners
who condemned the land originally and
from which valuation the appeal was
taken, was:-Executors of James Cur
rie's estate, value and damages, $17, 4225;
William Currie and others, $1o,S 800, or u
total of $28, ,225, making the verdict of yes
terday one of but 1915 increase for the
Curries who claimed $4,000 damages
The Curries it is said will appeal the
case to the Supreme Court en- banc.

MR.. CLEVELAND THINKS IT HONEST.
called upon Mayor Cleveland this
morning and asked him what he knew of
Mr.. Byrne's famous No. 90
The bill is perfectly honest one, "said
his honor, land was introduced to meet
the requirements of our citizens.
There is a clause in the city charter
which provides that no patented pave.
ment can be laid, and 1t has been found
to be inconvenient. There are now sew
eral excellent patented pavements in ex-
istence which can be laid very cheaply,
pavements which ombine}serviceablene

ties cannot put down on account of this
clause in the city charter
when noiSeleSs pavement was
wanted in Cooper Place we were unable
to buy it and we were obliged to pay q
man more than a patented pavement
would cost to lay down the crushed stone
that is now there.
Now the Sisters in charge OF st.
Francis Hospital want noiseless pave
ment laid about their hospital.
''The Board of Street and Water Com
missioners were anxious to accommodate
them, but the clause of the charter pro-
hibited them. 1t was for the purpose of
obviating these and similar cases which
may arise that the bill was introduced.

Grove street pavement, as it is applicable
to all streets in the city Neither has it
any connection with that asphaltum
company which was recently incorpo-

PRESIDENT EDELSTEIN's VIEWS.
President Edelstein OF the Board of
Finance said today that the bill to take
the power of non-concurrence from the
Board of Finance would take load of
work off the Boards shoulders, but that
it might be bad for the people because the
Board of Finance stands between the
Street Board and the tax payers
AS to the pavement of Grove street, he,
as a property holder on that thorough
fare, is in favor of block pavements and
is opposed to all patent pavements.

HIGH SCHOOL NOVELS.
Pupils Are Preparing a Series as a
Literary Exercise.

Prof. Eckhoff, of the High School, has
introduced new system of teaching
English-that is novel writing.
'If there is anything" said Prof.
Eckhoff to me yesterday, s'that the High
School has been deficient in, it is the
teaching of English. and we now contem-
plate making the study more perfect. /
have been connected with the teaching of
English for q long time and heretofore
have used shakespeare, Ruskin
and Burke's speech on taxation as
text books for that purpose. In studying
The vocabulary we used the dictionary
and Soule's dictionary of SYNONYMS. To
be perfect in the study it is essential that
the student furnish original matter, and
in consequence have asked Tor stories,
or novels If you are pleased so call them.
1t was forseen that some parents might
object to this, aud every precaution
against it was taken. for you Know some
people would not permit their children to
read q novel, and would become fright
ened if they attempted to write one.
A SUNDAY SCHOOL NOVEL.
zone young girl came to me after the
change was made and said her mother
was opposed to her writing stories or
novels, and told her to tell her mother
that no kind of literature that was moral
would be objected to and if she was per-
mitted to read Sunday school books she
could, if she pleased write in that line, or
in any other.
.sMy idea is that if teacher prescribes
certain topics to write about the student
is worried and bothered as TO the subject
matter and has not the proper opportun-
ity to study and perfect himself in the
use of English; whereas, if the student
can choose his own topic, he is familiar
with it and he will put all his labor upon
the perfection of his English.
Take for pyaYOnta pJ1DiI xuho I0voc
history; he can, in his own manner, de-
scribe what he likes about any part of it,
or he may relate some adventure he has
had, or some dialogue at the tea table, or
write q romance, anything at all that
allows his brain free, unburdened play.
thoughts appear best in English. This
study has been going on for one half the
term, and we have two classes.
s'The pupil Is supposed to turn in one
chapter week, writing about six lines
day, carefully studying what is written.
CLASS OF EDITORS
when the pupil of one class Surns in
her manuscript it is handed over to the
other class for editing, thus benefiting
both classes; then it goes to the monitor
appointed by the Board of Education and
is again revised, and, after passing
through the principals hands for further
correction, is turned over to me to discuss
the imperfections that have been discov-
cred.
II prefer novel writing to anything
else, for it Is the easiest.
Poetry is also used in this study and
it is much better study for perfecting
English than prose writing. tor it re-
uuires deeper search III the vocabulary.
1.-The pupils are delighted with the
study. and If, as l have heard, teachers
think it deIracts attention from other
studies, that is the fault of the teacher,
who should make the studies always a
source of pleasure.''

A YOUNG COAL THIEF.

Taken From the Almshouse and Sent
Ont to Hustle Coal.
Constable Woodbury. was in Justice
Weeds private office yesterday afternoon
when he was startled by great commo-
tion at the door. 1t sounded to Mr.. Wood
bury as though some one was trying to
drag the late lamented Jumbo or some
equally as bulky object through the
door. He rushed into the front office and
was much surprised to see Special Police
man Whalen engaged in a terrific hand
to hand struggle with a strong, power
full boy of feet, 21s inches of which was
hair in the rigor timoris.
The boy was Francis McCaffery, aged
fourteen years, whom Whalen had ar
rested for stealing coal from the Pennsyl-
vania Railroad.
Young McCaffery, when he had re-
covered from his fright, said that he lived
with Mrs. Riley, at No. 157 7Steuben street;
that she had taken him from the Aims
house at Snake Hill and sent him out to
pick coal. The boy was committed for
trial

STUHR and M'DONAID.
A Senate Elections Commit
tee After the Ballot
Boxes.
CITY CLERK SCOTT REFUSES THEM.
First Development of the Contest
for Hudscn's Seat in the
State Senate.
CITY CLERK SCOTT REFUSES THEM.

The contest between Stuhr aud McDon-
aid for a seat in the State Senate has
begun in earnest. The Elections Com
mittee of the Senate selected Henry q.
Garrison, Samuel b. Roes and John Gra-
ham to act as its sergeants-at-arms, and
directed them yesterday to come to this
city and take possession of the ballot
boxes
Under the law as it stands the City
Clerk is required to keep these boxes in
his possession for six months after the
election. with the papers and records in
tact, just as received from the election
offic ers on the night of election.
IN THIS CITY.
The three sergeants-at-arms came TO
this city this morning and assembled in
Assemblyman Potts Office. somehow or
other Mr.. Doherty, counsel for Roche
in the recent Director at Large
contest, and Counsellor William
H Corbin, who represents Stuhr, became
awa are of their presence, and the five
made arrangements to go at once to the
City Clerks Office to take possession of
the boxes
The boxes are in custody now of re :
sponsible official. No one can say to
what use they might be put if delivered
into the keeping of these three irresponsi-
bic tip-staves; and when they made their
appearance at the City Clerks office they
met in Mr. Scott an official who knew his
business
The throng that followed into the Office
was barred out, and conference tina t
was not public was held inside. When
the demand was made Mr.. Scott said
that he did not know what right he
had to surrender the boxes, but that he
wou Id consult with Corporation Counsel
Edwards.
Mr.. Edwards communicated with the
telephone, and told the Sergeants that
Mr.. Scott had no right to let the boxes go
out of his possession.
THE DEMAND REFUSED.
Senator Edwards said that the right
of the Senate to examine the boxes was
recognized. But the law says that City
Clerk Scott shall keep the
boxes in his possession for
certain period. Other contests
may also be raised upon the vote con-
tanned in the boxes. and therefore Mr..
Scott could not well let them go out
of his control The city authorities
are perfectly willing that the
Senate should examine the boxes
and he will send them to Trenton in
charge of some representative of his
office. He does not intend to let them
pass from his control until the expiration
of the time he is commanded by law to
keep them in his possession.
Moreover, the gentlemen representing
the Senate who called for them today did
not have any subpoena, but simply made
a demand for the boxes which was not
granted.
The boxers will probably be sent to
Trenton Monday in charge of some one
representing Mr.. Scott.
