Impure blood is the primary cause
of the majority of diseases to which
the human family IS subject. The
blood in passing through the system
visits every portion of the body-if
pure, carrying strength and vitality;
if impure, disease and death. Blood
poisoning is most dangerous. Prickly

HOUSTON, Tex, Aug. 8.-There is
trouble in police circles here, the fric-
ton being between the mayor and the
police committee and the chief, and a
general investigation is going on,
which may result in a wholesale
change. The force, according to
the mayor, is mismanaged and fails
to do it's duty, the principal streets
not being looked after and the outly-
ing districts being left to care for
themselves. One officer has been
killed lately and another wounded.

TAKEN ON FAITH.
Men Who Have Tried to Shave with Vas
cline yowing Vengeance.

men Who Have Tried to Shave with Vas
cline Vowing Vengeance.
The faith of the newspaper reader is
sometimes great and abiding, but oc-
casionally it leads him into errors A
few weeks ago, says the Galignani Mes
senger, n London weekly journal, pub
Ishcd exclusively for ladies, contained
letter from lady correspondent as
sorting that vaseline as shaving cream
was superior to any soap or cream that
had ever been invented. This scarcely
appears likely to be very interesting
topic for the gentler sex, but, ncverthe-
less, many letters were published on
the subject, and finally it became an
established truth among bearded women
that vaseline was the very best article
with which to supplant soap, which, it
is said, 'chaps" and irritates the skin.
Had this theory remained confined
within the limits Of the journal that
gave it birth no harm might have been
done; but unfortunately, several Amer
lean journals of rcpute and standing,
ever ready to grasp 4 progressive inno-
walton, boldly announced that vaseline
was the only article with which man
could comfortably remove his beard
Perhaps the readers of these papers
tried it on IL very cold morning, or per-
haps their razors were blunt, or perhaps
and very much more likcly-the lady
who asserted that she had removed her
beard every morning for many years
with the aid of vascline was playing q
little trick on the journal with which
she correspondent.
Doubtless she never suspected that
powerful and influential dnilies in
America would proclaim her method rs
an infallible one. And now the result IS
that old men, middle-aged men, and
youths across the Atlantic are vowing
vengeance against those who recon-
mended such painful experiment.
Having sound tooth drawn Is a trifo
compared to shaving with vaseline-at
least, SO the gentlemen across the At
lantic soy.

The Charges of False Pretenses All With
drawn.
S. L. Weatherford, charged with pass
ing bogus checks, was released from
custody yesterday, the charge having
been withdrawn by the plaintiffs in each
case against him. The sorrowing wife
and little infant have been in the city
several days. The poor woman has
used every plausible effort to get her
husband out of trouble and succeeded
in raising sufficient money to satisfy
the persons on whom the checks had
been drawn. lie was taken before
Justice Howerton sterday, who repri-
manded him for his conduct, and as no
one app Dared against him the case was
dismissed.
There was general cry between tho
couple, but the magistrate told Wealth
nrford very plainly that if he ever came
TO Roanoke again and passed his bogus
Ghecks no mercy would be shown him.
Had it not been for his wife and little
child Weatherford would doubtless have
been punished this time.

FOR THE JUNCTION RAILROAD.

The Penn Avenue Government Property
said to Be Wanted for a Depot.
It was stated yesterday that the highest
bidder for the entire tract of the Govern
ment property between Penn avenue and
Allegheny river, which was offered at auc-
tion last Wednesday, represented the juno
tion Railroad and that the property was
wanted for a depot and offices. The rail
road has switch on the portion OF the
wharf claimed by the Government. 1t is
known that the company is anxious to get a
depot in the lower portion of town, and, as
Garrison alley is as far down as they have
the right of way, the Penn avenue property
would be the most desirable that could be
secured.
AT the company's office, James A Smith,
the auditor of the road, stated that he had
not heard of any effort to get possession of
the tract. The only person who could speak
authoritively, however, he said was the
President of the road, who was out of the
city.
The War Department has notified Robert
II. Douglas, ESQ.,, who offered SS1, 500 for
so foot front of the lot at the corner OF Gar
rison alley and Penn avenue, that his bid
has been rejected. 1t has not yet been de-
cided whether McCann's bid for the entire
tract shall be accepted or not. 1t was stated
on authority of a real estate firm that a
hiuher offer than McCann's had been sent to
the department.

SOME PARTY PREDICTIONS.
All Parties Claim a Victory for Their
County and State Ticket

All Parties Claim Victory for Their
County and State Ticket.
The various political headquarters bore
an animated appearance yesterday, there
being a large number of visitors from the
outlying districts in consultation with the
leaders. Chairman Gripp said last night it
was the busiest day he had experienced and
he wearily wished that the election was all
over. He was as sanguine as ever as to the
result, and said it was only a question of
Republican majority. Collector Warm
castle and Chief Brown put in very busy
day yesterday collecting campaign funds.
Senator William Finn appeared at
headquarters for few moments last even
ing. When asked his opinion of the re-
suit next Tuesday, he said: 81 predict the
election of whole Republican ticket. The
State ticket will have large majority in
the State, and Allegheny county will do
a good majority beyond question"
The Democrats are all in confident
state of mind as to the outcome, and say
that the judiciary ticket and the Demo-
cratic State ticket are sure winners The
Democratic Executive Committee met
Yesterday afternoon, and after a discussion
of the situation sent out a big stack of cir
cular letters to which Chairman Herman
Handel attached his signature, calling
meeting of the County Finance Committee
for o'clock Monday afternoon. The circu-
cular contains an appeal for substantial
cash contributions as well as counsel and
personal influence.
Secretary Dunn, of the Straightouts said
yesterday their ticket would be elected by
10000 majority, and that Fetterman would
have no larger vote than any other man on
the>ticket He says that s, 600 men, repre-
senting every district in the city have
pledged themselves to vote and work for the
ticket, and that they are doing SO will be
evident next Tuesday.
An election ticket, with Straightout
heading and bearing only the name Of Can
didate Fitzsimmons was brought to the Re-
publican headquarters yesterday, by sew
eral persons who had received them by
mail. An effort was made to learn from
where they came, but without success.
John Robb said he had not heard of them
and knew nothing about them, and the
same answer was received at the headouar-
tiers of the Straightouts.

AFTER A BUILDING SITE.


Joseph Horne & Co. Intend to Purchase
Ground Inside of 80 Days-They Pro-
pose to Erect an Elaborate Building
Trouble With Owners.
Within thirty days Joseph Horne & Co.
will have decided where their new retail
stores will be located. 1t is almost sure
thing that this establishment will be located
on the north side of Penn avenue, between
Fifth and Ninth streets. 1t was said yes
terday that negotiations had closed between
Joseph Horne & Company and the
owners of the Leonard property
at the corner of Penn avenue and Fifth
street. The firm has had an option on the
property for scme time, but this expired
some two weeks ago. The price the prop
erty was held at is not given out, but the
dimensions of it-120x200 feet-would bring
it up to very smart sum. The current
price of property in that neighborhood has
been about $4,000 per front foot. Colonel
A. P. Burchfeld, of Joseph Horne &
Co., said positively that no deal
had been consummated, but that it
would be within the before mentioned time.
"We have several places in view, said
the genial Colonel, ''three ofwhieh have at
tracted more attention than any. The
Leonard property, Christ Church and one
other which / won't mention at present.
The trouble existing in our deal with prop
erty holders whom we have approached re-
lating to purchasing, is that much of it is
owned by many different people. Among
them there is a diversity of opin-
ion as to prices. Some are
agreeable and reasonable, while others
are obstinate and want to hold off for fabu-
lous prices. This is great mistake. Jo-
seph Horne & Co. cannot afford to be i'm
posed upon simply because it is rated very
high in the financial and commercial world
In some of these instances women are
part owners, and they are more difficult to
talk business to than men. They think,
perhaps, that more money will be offered in
the future. We have had numerous offers,
but the most of the sites are not
large enough or suitable to our purpose.
We need room and expect to erect build
ing especially adapted for capacity and
light. The ornate or elaborate features of
the structure will not be the main point
considered, but of course no pains or ex-
penditure will be spared to make it most
modern and attractive, both as to its e1-
terror and interior. The Christ Church
property is held at 1926, 900 while other lots
have been offered US as high
as $500, 900. Then there is the Gov
ernmenI property winch mas 10 De sOIu
over again, as the price at which the ham
mer fell will not be accepted. 1 know and
have heard of several people who have sig
nifed ther willingness to pay larger sum
for it. The authorities who have 1t in
charge are also aware of this fact"
The fact that a vast number of customers
go shopping in their carriages leads some
Spectators to think that the location at
Fifth and Penn is most desirable, from the
fact that no cable cars pass the door, but are
conveniently within half block, and many
people are timid at driving near and over
the tracks.

NO STRIKE IN OHIO.
Both Miners and Operators Claim Vic
tory in This District.

The miners of Ohio will not strike. A
dispatch from Columbus last night said the
men would work, although there is consid-
erable dissatisfaction among the miners
OF the Hooking Valley over having to
load the Laurel Hill cars The
officials of the Mine Workers Association
have advised the men not to go out, as the
strike in the Pi1tsburg district was not in
dorsed by the officers of the national or
ganization, and it therefore was local.
This afternoon at 4 o'clock the officials
and miners committee will hold big mass
meeting at Irwin, and an attempt will be
made to bring the miners out Five other
meetings will be held through the district
to-day.
A member of the Miners Committee was
in the city yesterday, and was we'll pleased
with the work achieved so far. Along the
Baltimore and Ohio railroad, where the
committee has been working this week, it has
brought out 700 miners from the Whittset,
Banning, White Lily and Eureka mines A
mass meeting was held at Port Royal last
night, and the men, 80 in number, will
likely come out to-day
The telegraphic news from WesS Newton
last night was decidedly against the strikers,
claiming they were greatly discouraged be-
cause Port Royal and Banning could not be
brought out, and that Jacobs Creek and
Eureka were working as full as before the
strike. The output of these mines yester-
day was estimated at 250 cars, 90 cars over
the day previous.
