SLICK WITH HIS PEN.
A Fourteen Year-0ld Forger, in the
Front Rank of His Glass,
INITIATED FIRMS SIGNATURES
So StrikinglJ That Checks He Gave Out
We're Promptly Cashed.
HIS SeHOOLMATES GETTING TIE MONEY

ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DIsPArcHt
NEWARK, N. j., Feb 26-Fourteen-year-
old Charles Schmidt, who confessed that he
forged lot of checks, was arraigned this
morning in the Police Court and held over
for examination. He is a lad of slight
figure and pale face. He wears a military
cap and cape overcoat.
Schmidt had had practice in forging busi-
ness mems names. He told his father,
when the latter found blanks of several
Newark banks in his pockets, that
IN school he was required to fill
these blanks out, and sometimes
names of conspicuous men were used. The
boys teacher to-day denied that they ever
school room. The bows made out checks on
plain paper. Schmidt also studied civil
government and science. but he made great
headway in penmanship.
Initiated His Own Forgeries,
When Chief of Police Hopper asked
Charles to make out check like the one for
500, which was passed off on Baker E. j.
Beck, of 900 Broad street, Schmidt initiated
his previous handwriting to a dot,
and the signatures resembled those of
only that, but he exhibited to Chief Hop
per, on the spot, nine different styles of
handwriting, such as he admitted having
used in filling out the numerous checks
that were found in his possession
Two checks were brought to Mr.. Beck to
be cashed by boys whom Schmidt had put
up to the job. A different boy called each
time. The first check was for S22 drawn
to the order of Begerow & Gerlach and
signed with the name of Leslie d. Ward,
Vice President of the Prudential Insurance
Company. 1t was properly indorsed
Mr.. Beck said to-day that boy couple
of years older than Schmidt brought it in
on February 4, and said that Begerow &
Gerlach wanted him to cash it. Mr.. Beck
did so. He kept the check for day or two
before depositing it.
How the Lad Was Found Out.
On Thursday another boy came into the
bakery with check for $50, which he said
Begerow & Gerlach wanted Mr.. Beck to
cash. The latter suspected there was some
thing wrong, and he said: "No, they don't,
either. There is something wrong about
this. I'll go out and see about it,
This frightened the boy out of the store.
Mr.. Beck then took the 500 check to his
bank and discovered it to be forgery.
The young penman explained that he first
got blanks from the Howard Savings Insti-
tuition, out Of the rack near the door, and he
went over to the free library and
labored to-day with Mr.. Beck to
get him to use his influence not to prose.
cute. So promising was the lad in his
studies that they intended to send him to
college. His father was not able to do so

GATARRH OF STOMACH.
The Many Distressing Symptoms
Which Accompany This
Affection.
Mrs. Zollinger's Wonderful Cure-The
Healthy Stomach secretes Nearly Two
Gallons Gastric Juice Every Twenty
-Four Hours to Digest the Food.

Dyspepsia, a name given to nearly all
stomach and bowel troubles by old-time
physicians is really nothing more nor less
Dyspepsia means bad digestion, nothing
else, and, like charity, often covers multi
tude of sins on the part of physician who,
ignorant of patients true condition, calls
it dyspepsia, and thus the patient is salts
fed.
Physiology teaches that the numerous
glands of the stomach throw out during the
"a hours, IA pints of gastric juice, almost two
gallons, with which to digest the food we
eat. In chronic catarrh OF the stomach, the
mucus lining of which is continuous with
that of the nose and throat. the secreting
glands become diseased and depraved and
do not fulfill their proper functions hence
the food lies heavy in the stomach and
ferments instead of being digested- Foul
gases arise therefrom which distend the
stomach, causing weight, tightness, hatu-
lence, bloating and discomfort. The heart
diaphragm, which impedes their natural
action, hence we have fluttering or palpita-
tion, and in consequence of disturbed circu-
lation and respiration, coldness of extremi-
ties, depression of spirits, (nervousnessl,
feeble pulse, dizziness, shortness Of breath,
hot and cold flashes, etc., etc.
To the physician who understands his
anatomy and physiology and correctly ap-
plies h Is pathology, these symptoms are as
easily read as his A B C's, and he would not,
as in the case of Mrs. Zollinger, whose state
ment appears below. mistake case Of
stomach trouble, no matter how aggravated,
for heart disease.

The Authorities Unable to Determine the
Sex of q New Convict.
NASHVILLE, Feb. 26.-Physicians here
have had quite discussion during the past
few days as to the sex of convict named
Hannah Baz, sent from Monroe county to
serve one year for larceny. When brought
here the convict had on mans clothing, and
persistently claimed to be man, but re-
quested that he, she or it not be placed in
the mems wing.
The Warden called on the members of the
State Board of Medical Examiners who
happened to be in session here, and several
other physicians, and all signed a request
that Governor Buchanan grant pardon on
the ground that they could not determine
the sex of the convict Hannah has small
hands and feet and woman's face, is rather

Resignation of Secretary Sutton.

Resignation of Secretary Sutton.
LINCOLN, NEB., Feb. 26.-John P. Sut-
ton has rendered his resignation as Seere-
tary of the Irish National League of Amer
lea to President Cannon. Under the exist,
ing constitution the Secretary holds
Office by appointment of the
President, and in view of the divergent
opinion of Mr. Cannon and Mr.. Sutton in
regard to the recent address, the latter con-
sidered it his duty to resign. Mr.. Sutton
says in regard to the position taken by
President Cannon:
regret very much that any difference of
opinion should come between us, because I
have a very high opinion of Mr.. Gan
non personally. He admits having
received letter from Treasurer Lyman,
and saws he hastily glanced over it. The
letter was not sent to him to be hastily
glanced over.N He should have read it care
fully. He confesses that he wrote the ad-
dress hurriedly.
No address over the signature of the
President of the Irish National League of
America should be written hurriedly.
President Cannon is not intalhble, and in
this matter he has certainly made a mis-
take,

sALToN LAKE EIGHT MONTHS OLD.
The Prospects Are That 1t VIII Soon Be
Larger Than Ever.


SALToN, CAL, Feb. 26.-From recent in
dications the desert lake here will be much
larger than last year. At present the lake
is about half mile wide, and after running
along the Southern Pacific track for about
two miles extends off out of sight to the
south. At this time last year there was not
drop of water visible, although there was
a quantity few inches below the surface of
the sink. 1t was not until several months
later that the floods occurred in the Gila
and Colorado rivers, caused by melting
SHOWS, and only in August that water in the
Salton sink began to attract attention.
The SHOWS in the mountains at present
are heavier than for years, and, coming as
the water will when they melt on the land,
already in large part saturated, lake of
redoubled extent will probably be created.
Old residents believe that about 100 miles
of the track of the Southern Pacific which
lies in the desert below the sea level will be
overfowed.

The first compounded ink was mechanical

first chemical ink was an infusion of gals
