"PRIZE GOODS"

Interesting to Grocers and Dealers In This
Kind of Merchandise.
A trial of great interest to grocers
and dealers in prize goods was recently
decided in Baltimore. A grocer was
arrested for selling coffee with prizes,
the prizes being drawn by means of a
ticket inclosed in each package.
He was convicted and fined $50.
The case was carried up to the
court of appeals, and stubbornly de-
Tended by the manufacturer of the cof-
fee, but the ruling of the lower court
was affirmed and the fine of $50 as
sessed, the court holding that even
though there was prize with each
package, it was still game of chance
in the eyes Of the law, as the prizes
were of different values and distributed
by chance. The penalty also included
imprisonment which was, however,
suspended, as it was in a measure q test
case.

A RIOT,
Caused By Attempted Evictions In
the Coke Regions.
Polish Women Charge on Officers With
Boiling water--A Crowd Attack
the Deputies and They
Are Compelled to
Retreat.

Sheriff Mccormick and his handful
of deputies clashed with the strikers at
the Trotter works, near Connellsville,
Pa, Thursday afternoon, and riot en-
sued. He arrived there about noon, and
began the work of eviction. He put out
several families without encountering
any resistance until he came to the
house of a giant Polander, named
Fred Strousack, which he attempted
to enter to carry out the furniture.
Strousack rushed forward, but was
thrust aside. Then the women of the
household rushed on the officer. One
seized tea-kettle, and, pouring some
boiling water in pan, threw it in the
officers face. The others struck at him
with whatever they could reach. The
excitement meanwhile had spread to
the crowd outside, which by this time
had numbered fully two hundred.
They attacked the deputies at the door
with stones, and several of the deputies
were struck. Mccormick, seeing that
his force was powerless in the
face of such mob, came out
and drew his men of, amid a shower Of
stones. Strousack was afterward lodged
in jail. Mccormick swore in q
number Of deputies Thursday and
will start out again Friday on the
disagreeable business of eviction. Dep
uty Crawford with posse will go to
Leisiering No. Q in the morning to evict
dozen or 80 families there. The riot
GUS element is in the ascendency there
now, and serious trouble is apprehend-
ed when Sheriff Mccormick begins the
evictions Friday. The sentiment
there is in favor of calling on the militia
now, before there is a chance to have
the scenes at Moorewood re-enacted.

Statistics About the Production OF Them
In the United States.
Superintendent Porter, of the census
bureau, has issued q bulletin upon the
subject of precious stones, diamond
cutting and lapidary work in the United
States. The bulletin shows that up
to the present time there has been
very little mining for the pre-.
cious or semi-precious stones in
the United States, and then
only at irregular periods This
is particularly true Of diamonds, Of
which only very limited number have
been found. They have been discover
ed in certain districts in California,
North Carolina, Georgia, and recently
in Wisconsin, but the discoveries have
been rare and purely accidental Sap
phires of inferior color have been
found near Helena, Mont. The en-
erald and other beryl gems have
been mined to some extent in Alex
ander county. N. c. ON Mount An
tero, Col and at Stoneham, Me. Tur-
quoise and garnets have been found in
Arizona and New Mexico. The entire
production of the precious, semi-prec-
ious stones and ornamental minerals in
the United States during the year 1889
was $1Ss, S0S. OF this amount $3S, IT'S
was agatized and jasperized wood, $685.
675 turquoise stones and Sl4, 900 quartz.
Diamonds to the value OF 81, ,008, ZIG
were cut during the year in the
nineteen lapidary works in New
York and Massachusetts. The i'm
portation of rough and uncut diamonds
in 1880 amounted to $1a9,2O7, in 1889 to
$3.50, 1877, and the total for the decade
was So, 1888, 500, while in 1883 there were
imported s44s,99e worth, showing that
there was ninety-four per cent more
cutting done In 1889 than in 1880, but
markedly more In 1882 and 1883. The
imports Of diamonds and othef precious
stones, noted during the past four years,
are given as follows: 1885, so, 254, 43s;

ject of the New Orleans affair is the
only important subject of conversation

known that the reply reached there the
Marquis di Rudini, the United

Porter, and other persons hold
ing positions which would enable
them to express valuable opinions upon
the New Orleans dispute were besieged
with interviewers. The substance of
the opinions which the gentlemen re-
ferred to were able to express is that
the controversy is in course of adjust
ment and that, so far as the future
negotiations are concerned, the diplo-
mates will seek chiefly to establish and
maintain the correct construction OF
the various points of international law
which bears directly or indirectly upon
the subject.

New Foundland Confesses That Her Young
Affections Are That Way.
In an interview in London Thursday
morning the delegates from Newfoupd.
land, who are there to present the
views Of the colonial government
on the fishery question to
the imperial suthorites, said there
was no doubt that the present cir.
cumstances had created very friendly
feeling toward the United States on the
part OF the government and people Of
Newfoundland. The action OF the
United States in connection with the
embarrassing position in which the col
onists found themselves placed had
proved most attractive to the latter.
The people of Newfoundland, of course,
deeply regret the unhappy estrange-
ment which has come between the col.
ony and the mother country. Neverthe-
less the existing impotence Of their
people at the cavalier-lilxe trestment
heretofore accorded them by the impe.
rial government II such treatment
was followed by the failure Of the dele
cation in its present mission TO Eng.
land would be intensified and deep6ped
into absolute alienation, the effect
whereof would be difficult to foreseA
In any event there never again could be
the same friendly feeling on the part OF
Newfoundland towards England 40
hitherto had existed. The delegation
consists Of fve members, two from the
Newfoundland Legislative council, and
three from the house Of assembly.

Pretty str0xg
reasons for trying DIR. Sage's
Catarrh Remedy. In the first
place, it cures your catarrh
no matter how bad your case,
or of how long standing. It
doesn't simply palliate = it
eures. If you believe it, SO
much the better. There's
nothing more to be said.
You get it for SO cents, from
all druggists.
But perhaps you won't be.
lieve it. Then there's another
reason for trying it. Show
that you can't be cured, and
you'll get $500. It's a plain
business offer. The makers
of DR.. Sage's Remedy will
pay you that amount if they
can't cure you. They know
that they can you think
that they can't. If they're
wrong, you get the cash. If
you're wrong, you're rid of
catarrh.
