In the third summer after Colin Cal
braith was lost at sea, on a lovely sum-
mer evening, Mrs. Galbraith sat at the
open window, knitting and smiling
placidly, as she watched her son at work
in his little plot OF garden, watering the
tufts of pinks and pansies. She laid her
work in her lap. and her eyes followed
his every movement with quiet pleasure.
Sandie would make a good gardener.
There was not a struggling growth in his
plot nor any weeds; all was neat and
trim, and the flower beds were pref
tily bordered with shells that he had col
lected on the beach at North Berwick.

HAD FAITH IN M'LEoD.

A Philad elphia Coal Merchant Over
loaded with Now England.
PHILADELPHIA, Dec. 27.-Samuel He'll
ner, coal merchant. made an assign
ment today. His failure was precipi-
tated by the slump in New York and
New England stock, of which he was
heavy holder, having gone in pool
with several other Philadelphia capital
lists which purchased sufficient stock to
secure control OF the road for Mcleod.
Heilner says his mercantile affairs are
in excellent shape and there would have
been no trouble but for the drop in
New England.
Il was director for the New York
and New England" said Heilner; II
stood by the pool and by my stock, and
when it went down l simply could not
stand the squeeze"
1t is we'll known fact that Hellner
had most implicit faith in Mcleod. and
this caused him to take such heavy in
vestments in New Enland. 1t is said
he had invested about 1926, 900 in the
stock because of this confidence. He
has many friends among the leading
capitalists of the city and all believe he
will pay every dollar OF his Indebtedness
and recoup his lost fortune. No state
ment has yet been made OF his assets
and liabilities.

MAIusoN, Wis, Dec. 27.-The leading
plainti tfs in the roster conspiracy suit
against Governor Peck ct al. we're ex-
amined before court commissioner, as
adverse witnesses, by the attorneys for
the defen dants today. All three of the
members af the printing firm of Tracy,
Gibbs & Co., which advanced the
$40, 600 paid to the official roster people
in the governors Office, were examined,
but the bust uess OF the concern in the
matter was done by the senior partner,
w. A. Tracy. and in his testimony alone
are brought out the details OF the secret
printing contracts.
Tracy said he first heard of the roster
contract about March 1st, when Private
Secretary Clark sent for him and told
him of the, roster job and showed him
a sample of the Illinois roster, and
wanted hinn to figure on the first cost OF
q similar hook of about 1000 pages.
Clark told lsm the governor had already
figured on it, as printer and knew what
the cost was. He also had figures
from Chicago, but would prefer
to have the work done here,
even IL IL COST b llbtl6 uuIe. 1Ho Dluu-
ing would cost IL cents in Chicago, but
Tracy was to figure it at 20 cents. Clark
told him 35, ,O0Os to 40, 900 would probably
be needed, but he should figure on 25,-
600 sets, and by Ulark's giving the figures
at $1.90 per volume, there would be a
profit OF about $sS7, 900 on that number.
Tracy testified that on April 25th be
paid Clark $20,O00 in the governors
office. George Dow, Clark, McFail and
himself were PRESENT when the payment
was made. On the day the contract
was revoked, Tracy and George and Roe
Dow went to the gowernor's'o office to see
Clark about the matter. Clark was
busy, but requested them to call in
the afternoon. AT that time Clark
announced that at u meeting in the
morning, at which Governor Peck, SEN
ator Villas. Senator Rashiord and Gem
eral Dow were present, it was decided to
revoke the contract. He assured them
they would get their money back in
about ten days, and earnestly urged
thar they keep quiet ABOUT it. They
told him all they wanted'was to get
their money back.

A RADICAL MEASURE.

Senator Chandlsr's Bal for the kemo :
etiz alton of silver.
WASHINGTON, Dec. Ex-senator Chand-
Ter (Rep.) of New Hampshire, is about
to come forward with q scheme looking
to the reconciliation of silver. The
senator proposes very radical methods
of bringing this about. He contem-
plates the introduction in the senate,
after the reconvening of congress, OF a
resolution which he will advocate, ask
ing the United States to invite all the
countries OF the world, eastern. western
and southern, to attend monetary con-
ference. The new features of the
proposed conference is that 1t
shall not be restricted to the
European gold standard countries,
bat shall include the South American
and oriental silver standard countries.
Moreover, the invitations to the confer
ence are to contain the declaration of
the United States that the purpose of
the conference shah be the establish
menr and maintenance of an interna-
tional ratio, with the specific declaration
added that if such q ratio cannot be
agreed upon it will be the purpose of the
United States to adopt single standard,
and that standard not gold, but silver.
By taking this extreme position, not as
yet advocated in congress even by the
radical silver men, Chandler thinks the
hands of the gold standard countries
not now trading extensively with the
western world can be forced.

A Petition to Gust the Present Northern

CHICAGO, Dec. 27.-The Northern Pa
cifc Railroad company, by Silas W.
Petit OF Philadelphia, general counsel,
has prepared and may file tomorrow at
Milwaukee, before Judge Jenkins of the
United States court, petition for the
removal of the present receivers OF the
road, Thomas F. Cakes. Henry G. Payne
and Henry G. Rouse. The bill covers the
same ground rs the Ives committee re-
port of about year ago and declares
Cakes as president OF the company ap-
pointed R. G. Ralston president of the
Farmers Loan and Trust company OF
New York, chairman OF the finance com
mittee of the road. At this time, it is
asserted, the line was in good financial
condition and had $2,0O0,OO0 cash
in the treasury. The Oakes-Rslston
board managed to increase the in
terest- charges for branch lines from
$26, 900 to $S6,000,0 600 inside OF one
year for the acquisition OF properties,
which, with one small exception, have
never paid the cost of operation.
The petition further charges that the
officers and directors were themselves
interested in selling properties to the
Northern Pacific company at exorbitant
profit to themselves.
The petition asks that receivers be
appointed in whose management the
stockholders and public have conf.
dence, 30 that they can formulate and
carry out a plan of reorganization
whereby the company's debts can be
paid and 1t be restored to q solvent
basis.

GENTLEMEN: After course of treat
ment at your institute l take pleasure
in recommending it to those who suffer
from that awful disease, catarrh.
have experienced some trouble with my
throat and nose for several years but
not until within the last eighteen
months did the disease become fully
developed. | tried several physicians
with fruitless results. other than a
probable stay of the disease. l had
noticed your advertise ments from time
to time, but in common with others, set
it down as quack.
During the month of February last.
the disease reached such stage that
there was but little rest for nae day or
night, especially at night, and being
anxious to find relief from some source,
decided to give your treatment an hon
est trial. During the first month it was
a question as to what would be the
result. At last a healing process began
which gradually continued until now
feel that am entirely cured of the dis
ease. To thuse suffering with catarrh
heartily recommend your treatm ent,
even in the worst stages the patient
may feel assured of much benefit and if
persistently followed may expect per-
manent cure. In conclusion | wish to
say that did your institution q great
injustice IN founding an opinion before
investigating, and feel that we should
ever be upon our guard not to permit
prejudice to condemn that which our
better judgment may afterward accept.
Wishing you the success which the
merits OF your treatment justly de-
serves. Most gratefully,
