TO RETAIN HEALTH.
Four Doors South of Grand Stree

Don't Take Bitters or PILLS, and Use Judr-
ment Regarding Food ana Exercise.
When the health is fairly good and
there is no special strain to be put upon
the system, the normal appetite may
be trusted to indicate the kind and
quality of food necessary to maintain
that condition. Naturally the appetite
varies with the changing seasons, and
unless it indicates an unreasoning ex-
treme of Indulgence or abstinence, no
attention need be paid to any other
monitor. Much harm is done by in
iudicious or meddlesome friends sug-
costing that person is too stout or too
thin, too pale or too rudy, and serious
disturbances of the system often follow
the mischievous advice to take some Bit
tiers or pills, or refrain from fatteninp
food or drink.
Paying attention to any of these fads
IS like playing with fire. If you are ill
enough to seem to warrant any radical
change of diet or any application of
medicine, consult your physician at
once. Above ali, avoid advertised quack
medicines. To use the opinion of a sue
cessful dealer in them, whose bank bal
snce Is more liberal than his conscience
they are ''made to SELL"
If you feel a little debilitated take
the coca tonic; eat plenty of fresh ripe
iruit and vegetables, especially oranges;
drink lemonade; and when unusually
fatigued. and just before retiring, drink
\ glass of milk, as hot as can be taken,
in large sips. Walk reasonably and
sleep in pure air. If few days of this
sort ofhome treatment fails to bring mn
the body and mind to their proper tone
call in your doctor and follow his cd
vice.-Harper's Bazaar.

SEIZED THE CREW.
The nTenhaden Fisheries War Renewed n
Keyport.

KEYPoRT, N. J., March 31.-The trouble
between the New York authorities and
the men employed in the menhaden fish
cries continues, and has resulted in the
capture of two of Keyport's oystermen
and the narrow escape of several other
crews. Capt. Frank Hines sloop Hogarty
was boarded and detained by officials
from Staten Island.
The crew of the sloop Hogarty were at
work in the morning. As the wind sud-
denly ceased they were forced to stop,
and while they were in the cabin eating
the sloop drifted 25 yards over the line,
when over 40 men came out of the cabin
of the Staten Island watch boat Nellie
Lee, and with the aid of several smaller
boats surrounded the Hogarty and cap
tured Captain William Howard and Mate
Thomas Morrigan, of this place. They
were lodged in the Richmond County jail
to await the action Of the grand jury.
For some time past there has been
more or less trouble with the authorities
on the fishing question, and the arrest
of many Of Keyport's fishermen has been
the result. All who have been captured
have served time. Captain Abram Post
narrowly escaped being captured.

Mr.. LEMCKE DECLINES.
He viii Not Accept the Treasurys hip and

He viii Not Accept the Treasurys hip and
Will Sail for Europe.
WASHINGTON, March S1.-Mr julius
A Lemcke of Indiana, whose name has
been under consideration by the Pres
dent for the position of United States
Treasurer, in case the resignation of
Treasurer Huston was accepted, has in
formed the President, through friend,
that he does not desire to have his name
considered in connection with the place,
as his health is such that he could not
possibly accept it if it were rendered to
him. Mr.. Lemcke will sail for Europe
within few days.
This leaves the question of the treasu-
ryship in the same position it has been
for some time. The impression prevails
that efforts are being made to adjust the
differences between the President and
Mr.. Huston, and that they are likely to
be successful and that Mr.. Huston will
serve out his term of four years.

test between George Dixon of Boston and
Cal Mccarthy of Jersey City, which will
take place at the Crib Club tonight is
the chief topic discussed at the yari-

Dixon is the favorite at odds of 100 to
90. The betting on the result of the con-

lew 5000 to $500 bets have been made.
Although the followers of MCCARTHY

whip Dixon, they are holding back for
larger odds. A number of men are
hoping that the betting will be 2 to 1. or
at least 100 to 60, before the bows enter

5000 against $1,000 that the JERSEY lad
will prove the victor.
he Will be at the ring side with his
friends, all of whom will be ready to

The contest will be one of the closest
and most exciting, as we'll as one of the
greatest, that have ever taken place be-
tween featherweights in this or any other
country. Both men claim the worlds
of their class.

A SERIOUS ERROR.

A Word in the Wrong Place in New .Jer-
sey's Ballot Reform Law.
TRENTON, N. J., March 31.-A serious err
ror has been discovered by the Attorney
General in the amendment made by the
Legislature to the ballot reform law.

exempt towns Of less than 1000 from
using the election booths in their local
elections. The word ''not'' was put in
the wrong place, and it makes the use of
booths applicable to towns of 1000 in
habItants or less and not to towns hayin o
over that number
The Attorney General expresses the
opinion that the intent of the law will
hold notwithstanding the error.
