stocked with food enough to keep q score Of
men during the greater part of the winter

IS THE GRIP CoMING9
Everything Indicates Its Speedy Approach
What the Indications Are Concerning It


Everything Indicates Its Speedy Approach
What the Indications Are Concerning It
Abroad.
Reports from Europe which are appearing
in the papers show that the grip has broken
out in most violent form IN England and
the indications are that 1t Is commencing iss
fourth annual tour of the world The ply
sicians here in America report many people
suffering from symptoms which indicate
the coming on OF this terrible scourge.
While there may not as yet be an epidemic,
there are enough cases and enough serious
cases to demand the greatest care and eau
tion. The Droverb, "In time of peace pre-
pare for WARTS one of the most valuable
sayings ever uttered. The grip, with all its
unpleasantneSs with all its seriousness, with
all its danger, can be prevented, II taken In
time, and If people properly prepare for It.
There is but one way to prepare for the
coming on OF the grip and that Is to tone up
the system, build uD the energies, strengthen
the lie, and thus avoid it's attacks by being
thoroughly prepared for them This can
not however, be done except in one way:
That way Is by the use of some pure stimu-
liant, which will help the vital forces, In
crease the circulation and strengthen the
life generally. There is, however, but one
pure medicinal stimulaht known to the
medicnlworid or the American people. That
stimulant has been before the public tor
years, and 1t is exceedingly popular with
both men and women. 1t is Duffy's Pure
Malt Whiskey. 1t is not an ordinary
whiskey, but n Dure medicinal one. Its pop
ularity is wonderful, and It is due entirely
to the fact that it is so superior in every
way. For preventing the coming OF the grip
1t is unequaled, for II fortiies the system to
Withstand its attacks. Care should be taken
that no druggist or grocer sells you some
other whisISey which he may claim to be
just as good. There Is nothing which can
AXE its place. SAT

A COSTLY CITY HALL.
The Philadelphia Building Has Cost S16,-

The Philadelphia Building Has Cost e16,-
100000, and Is Still Unfinished.
PHILADELPHIA, Dec. . City Councils
have resolved that no money whatever for
the construction of the public buildings
shall be appropriated out of the proceeds
of the annual tax levy for 1898, unless the
commission shall within ten days furnish
Councils with statement exhibiting item
by item the manner in which the appropri-
alton requested is to be expended, and also
an approximate statement of the sum neces-
sary to complete and furnish the buildings
in accordance with existing plans and speci-
hcationa
This action has long been looked for. The
Public Building Commission, which has
sole charge of the erection of Philadelphia
big city hall, was created BY the Legisla-
lature over 20 years ago, and has so far de-
fed all attempts of the city officials to in
quire into its affairs It has demanded
certain sums each year, and the money has
been grudglEgly handed over. The amount
asked for this year is slightly over
81, 900, 900. When the erection Of the build
ing was begun it was to be finished in few
years at an estimated cost of S., 000. 600
Over SIC, 900, 900 have been spent on it.
Nobody knows how much more will be re-
quired, and no one believes it will be fin
ished before the beginning Of the next
century.

ANARCHY OF CAPITAL.
A Dramatic Denunciation Of the
Reading Combine Made
BY JERSEYS ATTORNEY GENERAL.
Wherein the law lifers When Applied to
Workers and Wealth
THE RAILROAD USMERcIFULLY fooRED

TRENTON, N. j., Dec 2,-During the
Reading combine here to-day the argument
closed with q speech by Attorney General
Stockton, who at times became dramatic in
his denunciation of the alleged conspiracy
to plunder the people. He said that when
merchants and laborers combined for self
protection, the order was, shoot them down;
but when capital combined to squeeze
wealth out of the publio's necessities, every
resource of the law was called forth to
shield the conspirators. The Attorney
General argued the technicalities of the
case at great length under three heads, as
follows:
First-The Chancellor has power to ap-
point q receiver, and should do so IL it is
necessary TO enforce decree ana prevent
an abuse OF corporation franchises.
Seeond-The supplemental Information,
with affidavits attached, proves copclu-
sively that the order and Injunction has
Deen wilfuily and deliberately violated.
admit the disobsdienoe oSs OF tine injanosion
The facts stated deprive the assertions of
literal obedience of all proba:ive force.
The Attorney General analysed the affi-
davits of the defendants to prove that
they we're disingenuously constructed.
He said:
No better example of an arbitrary in
crease. made despite the natural law OF de-
mand and supply, can be imagined than an
increase made from time to time oY meet
ing of the agents OF those interested in the
mining and transportation OF coal. The In
crease was made. not by the law Of demand
and supply, but by the arbitrary order OF
coal combine.
The Attorney General, in conclusion,
said the injunction has been wilfully and
deliberately violated by the use OF the Gen.
tral Railroad under the agreement set out,
to carry its own coal. by means of the dis
guise Of the agreement between the coal
companies and by preventing legitimate
competition. The question is whether the
court would permit its orders to be defed
with impuuity; whether law or anarchy
should prevail in the State>of New Jersey.
