THE EXPERTS REPORT.
Ex-City Treasurer Bardsley's Statement

EI-City Treasurer Bardsley's Statement
to be Torn to Ehreds.
PHILADELPHIA, June 26.-The mayors
experts, Taylor Faunce, Lawrence Brown
and Thomas w. Barlow, are now prepar-
ing a report which is likely Ito tear ex-
City Treasurer Bardslsy's statement to
shreds. To-day Mr.. Barlow is busy
writing the report, which will be finished
and presented to Mayor Stuart on Satur-
day or Monday next.
Mr.. Brown was disposed to be reticent
about the nature of the report to be pre-
sented, but it was learned that the ex-
perts have not enough Information to
totally disprove Bardsley's statement II
is said that in direct contradiction of
Bardsley's statement it will be shown
that $500, 200 of the money went into
the Bradford mills, and that since Bards-
ley became city treasurer fully $4,000, 900
have passed through the Keystone Bank
in fund from which Bardsley drew
various amounts to pay the expenses Of
the Bradford mills.
Mr.. Graham was asked when Bardsley
would be brought up for sentence. He
said he did not know, as Bardsley's
statement is being investigated to ascer-
tain whether or not 1t is true. 'If it is
true" said MIR. Graham, ''why, Of course,
he is entitled to any benefit which may
result from his telling the truth. If IL
issnot true, why It is information for the
court to act upon"

1thaCa's Varsity Crew Wins the Trianxu-

NEW LONDON, Conn, June 26.-The
Cornell University crew covered them-
selves with glory BY winning from the
University Of Pennsylvania and Columbia
crews in the fast time of IA minutes, 81
1-2 seconds; thereby chopping off 10 10
seconds Of the best previous time made
on the Thames river course by any of the
college crews. The conditions, however,
were favorable for fast time, the water
being smooth, a strong current running
and tho wind blowing so as to be of the
most assistance to the racers.
The race was probably the most ex-
citing ever rowed here, tho Pennsylvania
crew developing unexpected strength
and rowing bow for bow with the crack
Cornell crew for two miles Nearing the
finish, however, Cornell spurted in mag
nificent form and drawing away from
their opponents easily won by four open
lengths. Columbia was bad third, fin
fshing i've lengths behind Pennsylvania.
The poor showing Of Columbia was sur
prise as they have shown much better
form in their practice.

tied, bride and groom left the town for q
destination not known, but conjectured to
be Paris, where It Is believed the honey
moon will be spent.
The parish registrar, together with his
books of record, vanished after the we'd
ding ceremony had been performed, and

the result of q. bride, judiciously admin
istered by the willy Irish leader.

brought to Mira. Parnell's brother, Gen.
Sir Evelyn Wood, he expressed Els en-
phatic pleasure at the termination of the
scandal, having keenly felt the injury
done to the family by his sisters peculiar

sition.

SIOUX CITY, June 28-Reports from all
quarters concerning the unprecedented

Queer world! Queer people! Here are
men and women by thousands suffering
from all sorts of diseases, bearing all
manners of pain, spending their all on
physicians and ''getting no better, but
rather worse" when right at hand
there's remedy which says it can help
them because it's helped thousands like
them. Another patent medicine adj
vertisement you say. Yes-but not of
the ordinary sort. The medicine is DR.
Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery, and
its different from the ordinary nostrums
in this:-
1t does what it claims to do, or it costs
you nothing!
The way is this: You pay your drug
gist 81. 90 for bottle. You read the di-
,rections and you follow them. You get
better, or you don't. If you do, yon buy
another bottle, and perhaps another. II
you don't get better, you get your money
back. And the queer thing is that so
many people are willing to be sick when
the remedy's SO near at hand.
