OF 1872 East Eighty-sixth street, was held
IN $500 bail for trial In Harlem Court this
morning. charged with having assaulted
Jane Connolly. twenty-five years old,
who lived on the first floor of the same
house.
Jane Connolly's brother Is a police
man. attached to the East Eighty-eighth
street station. He does not live in the
same house with his sister, The former
and his sister were very bitter to-day
when they made the charge against
young Matthews.
Justice Taintor. who paid very little
attention TO Matthews's story, held the
prisoner for trial. As the young man
was taken away to be locked up the
girl asked Justice Taintor to protect her
against Matthews mother. She said
that Mrs. Matthews had threatened 10
Kill her II her son was sent TO 1ali.
Mrs. Matthews, who was in court this
morning, Is seventy years old and very
feeble
Cali that woman up herey" sternly
shouted Justice Taintor
The old woman, who is very much
bent In figure, hobbled slowly to tn.
lar, and then the Justice ordered Pc
ltcemsn Connolly TO make charge OF
disorderly conduct against her.
The ground for the charge was that
Mrs. Matthews interfered with the ar.
rest OF her son and threatened the Do
liCeman with a stick
Mrs. Matthews was fined 81, although
she told the Justice she was in her
own fiat at the top of the house, and
but partially dressed at the time Of the

Judge Lacombe Extends His Re-
ownership Of Harvey Peak.
His Decision Scores the Schemers
for Sharp Practice.
81, 900, 900, He Says, Evidently
Went Into Onlcial Pockets.

United States Circuit Court Judge La
combe to-day made a most important or
der continuing Albert r. Ledoux, as re-
ceiver of the Harvey Peak Tin and
Mining Company, until the case Is fully
heard.
Mr.. Ledoux was appointed receiver on
the application of Charles Fletcher and
number of other prominent English
men. who charged that the officers of
the Company, chief Of whom was SAM
uel interviewer, had been guilty of
sharp practice by which they had SWIM
died them out Of more than $1,000. 900.
Receiver Ledoux was appointed secret
ly, SO that he could get hold of the
books of the company before the off,
GERS knew Of it. Judge Lacombe denied
the application for removal Of Re-
ceiver Ledoux.
Judge Lacombe, in making his order,
From such facts as are admitted by
the defendants or not denied by them,
1t is reasonable to suppose that the
mortgage of S4.S50,000, issued ostensibly
for the acquisition of further properties
and a cash advance to the Company, was
really put on to effect sale of SO much
stock by the Company as was held by
syndicate of majority of the direc-
tors. As the sale apparently could not
be carried out, they obtained in ex-
change for the stock not only nine
tenths of the new bonds, but also
f4OO, 900. or nearly 100000 in securities
Of another corporation"
Only the syndicate shareholders were
benefited by this deal. and the Judge, in
his order, says, summarized:
THE preponderance of proof indicates
that the President and Trustees availed
themselves of their official positions
to benefit themselves at the EXPENSE of
the corporation and their fellow
shareholders. That is sufficient reason
to remove them from their control Of
the Company"

Bangor Is Justly proud, exhibits 33 of her
original paintings, and much praise is be-
slowed upon them. She studied sl last
winter with the celebrated Boston

number of famous painters criticised
her work favorably, in fact passing the
opinion that her work rs colorist ard
flower painter placed her at the head of her
profession in America. She is a member
of the Boston Art Club, very exclusive
organization, and at their exhibition two of
her pictures were shown, chrysanthemums
and Russian violets. Mrs. Sweet occupied

ance and carelessness in baby's sum-
mer diet the hot months might be as healthy
AS any, and August and September would
not have an infant death rate so fcarfully
in excess of the yearly average. Watch
baby S food as soon as lack of appetite
is noticed, colicky pains, diarrhca, more or
less fever, exhaustion or rapid loss of flesh
put the infant upon isetated food.
Lactated food has been expressly pre-
pared to meet such cases. Under the
advice of the professors ia the medical de-
partment of Vermont university, more es-
peCially Prof. A. l.. Grinrell, dean of the
university; and Dr. S. NJ. Roberts. profess
sor of the diseases Of children, and under
the direct supervision of Prof. G. S. Boyn-
ton, the manufacture of lactated food has
been Carried on. fl is supplied to physi-
clans all over the United States. The late
Or. AEnew of Philadelphia, is but one of
the very many eminent physicians who have
publicly recommended lactatel food and
used it in their own homes.
Lactate1 food has the confidence of physi-
clans because every ingredient is well known
to them. Made under the eye of as eminent
n ply sician as Prof. c. S. Boynton, scrup-
ulous care is known to he employed in &C.
curing absolute purity, reliability and thor
oughness in its manufacture. The basis is
sugar of milk, which is the basis of mothers
milk. With it ia combined the nutritious
elements of the great cereals, wheat, oats
and barley, so prepared as to be very easily
digested and assimilated by the infant
stomach. This makes an ideal infant food
that rest mbles mothers milk more closely
than anything else possibly can. And the
beauty of it is that for % cents mother
can buy package that contains enough to
make ten pints Of cooked food.
Lsctated food should be given to all babies
and young children who do not eat with
relish, who are weak and dropping. But
few meals make tie little sufferers 'pick
up wonderfully, nurses say. Tie thin
blood must grow rich on such a hearty diet.
And with all ita great powers Of nourishing,
il has been possible TO secure an easy di-
gestibility and above all taste agreeable
TO the infant stomach.
Pale children gain color at once when fed
on laclated food.
Mrs. Frank S. Griswold Of Milwaukee,
Wis. whose baby's picture is given above,
writes:
"This picture Of our baby, Jessie, was
taken at six.een months. when she weighed
twenty-four pounds. She was n very deli
cate child ami not even our physician
thought we could raise her. When five
months old VIC made change in her food
which had been sterilized milk, and tried
other food, but without good results, and
then sent to you for a sample package of
lactaied food, and she has taken nothing
else from that time TO this. She is per-
fectly well and is as bright and happy n
baby as one could wish to see."

Puget Sound County Enyeloped in Smoke

SEATTLE, Wash, Aug. 30-For the past
two days the entire Puget Sound county has
been enveloped in a dense smoke, caused
by forest fires, the most extensive in five
years. Navigation on the sound has been
somewhat dangerous by reason of the thick
smoke.
Several towns on the sound have been
threatened with total destruction but, 20
far, the damage has been light
The fire departments at Whatcom and
Bellingham as well as citizens have been
constantly fighting fires for the past As
honrs.
Ia Whatcom several houses in the out
skirts have been destroyed d and many bridges
burned on country roads.
The damage to standing timber which has
been destroyed by the flames cannot yet be
estimated, but will prove heavy.
The worst is believed to be over, as rain,
of which there has been none for over two
months, is threatened.
