If a merchant would increase his
business he must offer such induce
ments as will make it advantageous for
people to buy of him in preference to
patronizing other dealers. But these in
ducements to be.of any value must be
made public, so that people will know
of them and where to get the benefit Of
them. Every day people are looking
for Opportunities to purchase at lower
prices or to obtain better goods without
an increase in price, and they watch the
daily papers to learn of such opportu-
mites. Therefore it is clearly desirable,
if not necessary, for a dealer who has
any information to give the public, to
advertise in the newspapers, One great
advantage of newspaper advertising is
the fact that newspapers are not thrown
aside without being looked at, but are
read by several people in every home
into which they go. The DEMOCRAT is
read by fifteen thousand people daily.

POISON GIVEN TO FIVE.
A Girl Tries to Kill Her Uncle and Eve
Member of the Family.


Member of the Family.
CAMDEN, N. j., Feb. 11.-Wanting
more liberty in the evenings than she
was allowed in the strict family of her
uncle and guardian, John Horlacher, of
No. 625 Montgomery avenue, Katie Hor-
lacher has been gradually poisoning him,
his wife, mother and two children.
She prepared che meals for the family
and the coffee and soup were the channel
through which she attempted her scheme
by mixing with them small quantities of
two different poisons, ono red and the
other white corrosive preparation.
Last Thursday Horlacher reported to
the police his belief that the sickness of
his family was due to poison In their
food and named Katie as the suspect.
Yesterday Katie was arrested. She made
full confession, duplicating Harriet
Ritter of No. 700 Fern street, who, she
alleged, procured for her the poison, tell
ing her they would share the money left
by the grandmother.
The grandmother and one child are still
dangerously ill.
On one occasion Katie was compelled
to cat the poisoned food and was taken
sick like the rest of the family.

PROSECUTION WILL NOT STOP.

All Accused French Deputies TO be Exam
ined- Comment on the Sentences.
PARIS, Feb. 1.-THE discomfort caused
by the dismissal in the Chamber of In
Iictments of the true bills found for cor
:uption against Deputy Rouvier AMI
Senators Grevy, Deves and Renault, has
moved the Parliamentary Commission of
Inquiry to a renewal of activity
The commission how proposes to sum-
mon and examine all Deputies who have
been accused of corruption, whether ac-
quilted or not, and to obtain the Reinach
list of the 104 men who were compro-
missed by money transactions with Rein
ach, Arton and Herr.
The commission purposes also to apply
to the Chamber for additional powers,
which, if granted, will increase greatly
the scope and the thoroughness OF the
investigation.
Should the Court of Cessation reject
the appeal of Ferdinand de Lesseps
against the decision of the Court OF APP
peal, his name will be stricken from the
lists of the Institute and the Legion Of
Honor.
Excepting the Eclair and the Repub-
lique Franchise. not one Partisan journal
approves of the sentences passed upon
| the Panama directors and NJ. Effel.
The Jour says that the unspeakable
brutality of the judge has made the de-
| PENDANTS object of sympathy and admi-
ration.
The Soliel says that Presiding Judge
Perivier read the Judgment from paper
still wet and blurred from the hasty pens
l of the Judges, and expresses indignation
| that, after having IA week to consider,
the Court should have made the decision
| at last SO hurriedly.
The Figaro demands the pardon of the
| man who has been one of the glories of
| France. The Journal Des Debats says:
''To imagine striking down the creator
of the Suez Canal in his declining days to
salve the public conscience shows great
| misconception of the opinion of the IA
/ tion."
The Radical La Lanterne declares that
the country itself has sustained blow
| from the sentence, which is useless in
| fact and excessive in law.
The Republican Steele protests against
the sentence and adds that glory is a
thing so rare and precious that the
nation cannot too carefully guard it.
The Royalist Gaclosi deplores the de-
cision, as working havoc with the noblest
legends of the French people.
The Independent Matin says that the
decree marks a day of ingratitude in the
| life of the historical personages con
cernel in the trial Their names will be
illumined in the eyes of posterity by the
light of their deeds and their suffering
will leave no appreciable stain, being
merely judicial accident.
The Radical La Justice, NJ. Clemenceau'
paper, regards the Judgment passed upon
NJ. Ferdinand de Lesseps as severe. AS
to the other sentences La Justice points
out that the other contractors were eX-
| actly in the same position with NJ. Eltfcl
and the Official Liquidntor Of the Panama
Canal Company ought to proceed against
them all for the recovery of the sum.

TRIED THE NEW SHELLS
Highly Successful Tests With
the Vesuvius' Guns.
NAVAL OFFICERS MUCH PLEASED.

Five of the Patent Rombs Shot from the
Probably Exploded-Cou Easily Have
Hit q Vessel Coming Toward Her.
PORT ROYAL, S. c., Feb 1.-THE
Vesuvius continued her experiments with
the pneumatic guns here yesterday. The
trial was very satisfactory one to the
examining board, because the sea was
little rough which tended to detract
from the accuracy of the guns.
The Vesuvius got under way at IL
o'clock and in less than 35 minutes had
gotten into line and fired three projec-
tiles.
With her signals flying she steamed
slowly up to the 1900 yard buoy head
ing slightly to the north of the target
line. A momentary pause followed while
she swung slowly into position. Then
the signals dropped and instantaneously
almost, there followed the white cloud of
compressed air Indicating the firing of a
shot.
The first shot fell 80 yards short OF
| the target, but exactly in line with the
| buoy which marked the 1000 yard range
| the second shot fell 10 feet short.
A third shot was fired Il few moments
| later falling short of the target but
| practically on the DuOy line, ana Inc
| fourth shot fell on the buoy line, but
the fifth and last shot of the day, fell
so close to the target that the spray
thrown up by the projectile obscured
the target. An instant later an eXplo-
sion was heard and the water behind the
| target was disturbed.
| The second and fifth shots fell so &C
curately that they would have fallen or
an ordinary sloop stationed for a target
The officers of the Vesuvius are greatly
elated over the results of the days tests
They will be continued to-day.
The firing was remarkable proof o
the accuracy with which shots can bt
| placed, using all three guns. The five
shots at ., 900 yards range were dropped
within distance Of so yards of each
| other on direct line for the target. Ii
fired at a ship coming toward the Vesu
vius all of them would have struck her
| The doubt as to the action of the fuses
is not at all astonishing. This is the frs
time that thu fuse has ever been fired.
The failure of this particular fuse would
have no effect upon the valve of thu
pneumatic tube as torpedo thrower, fol
another fuse could easily be found. Blu
five shots are not enough to decide
whether or not there will be failure.

MRS, NJ, WREATH,

81 took DIR Greene's Nervua, and my
improvement has been so rapid that
now l sleep soundly, appetite and
strength are returning. 1 thank God
and DIR Greene's Nervura blood and
nerve remedy for affording me such re-
lief. 1t will always be our family
remedy"
How persons can read the true testi-
mony of ladies of so high standing as
Mrs Beale and Mrs Wreath, which
proves beyond a doubt that DIR Greene's
Nervura blood and nerve remedy does
surely cure most kinds of diseases, and
not be influenced to Immediately try
this wonderful medicine in their own
cases, is beyond our understanding.
Especially would this seem true when
the doctors so widely recommend the
use of this valuable remedy. 1t is kept
by druggists for 81, and Is purely vege-
table and harmless, being the prescrip-
ton and discovery of DIR Greene of 50
w. 14th street, New York, the famous
specialist in curing all forms of nervous
and chronic diseases. He can be con-
suited free, personally or by letter.

THE DOVER HORROR.
Inmates of tho Asylum Were AllOwct
Matches to Light Pipes.

Inmates of tho Asylum Were Allowed
Matches to Light Pipes.
DOVER, N. H., Feb. 11.-A possible
clue to the origin of the fire in the county
insane asylum near here Thursday night
in which Al people lost their lives may be
found in the fact that some of the insane
paupers were habitual users of tobacco,
and were allowed three friction matches
each to take to their cells, with which to
light their pipes.
This system, it is said, was brought to
the notice of the county delegation few
days since upon it's visit to the county
farm, and the advice of one of its mem
bers was that it should be stopped, but
whether this advice was acted upon is
not known.
Keeper Driscoll is of the opinion that
the fire caught from defective chimney,
the sides of the latter being only the
thickness of one brick.
The Legislature has decided to max e
an investigation of the horror.

THE investigation of the money spent
in the United States by the agents of
the Panama Canal company, now being
conducted by a house committee, has
just gone far enough to create a general
demand for more information. 1t has
brought out the fact that a great deal
more money was spent in this country
than the public had any idea of, and
that it was largely paid for secret SER
vices of some sort, the receiver giving
no voucher for what he received. 1t is
to be regretted that this investigation
was not started earlier in the session, as
it is feared that there may not be time
! between this and the fourth of March
beyond which date the com nittee will
have no existence, to ascertain the
names of those who received this
money. The reported sudden illness
which has been made the excuse for ex.
Secretary Thompson's not appearing
before the committee, according to
promise, has been unfavorably com.
/ mented upon, but Colonel Fellows
chairman of the committee, says he be
lieves it is straight and that Thompson
will appear as soon as he is able t.
travel.

REPRESENTATIVE FITHIAN of Indiana,
Baker of Kansas, and Lawson of
Georgia, have united in sharp
minority report against the. bill provid
ing for a permanent census bureau,
which has been favorably reported by
the house census committee, of which
they are members. 1t says, among
other things, that the present census
bureau is divided into twenty five divi-
sions, all but seven of which should be
eliminated; that many of the statistics
taken under the last census are merely
Implications of reports made by other
bureaus of the government; that the
census bureau has been enlarged from
time to time, more to create offices and
salaries than for legitimate purposes;
that consequently the census has be-
come a tumble of figures and irrevelant
inquiries flling volumes, which make
their appearance so late that they are
only useful for waste paper, and lastly,
that the maintenance of a permanent
census bureau would be at least treble
the amount estimated-$20O,O 900 year.
