The Puzzle Solved.

Perhaps no local disease has puzzled
and bafled the medical profession
more than nasal catarrh. While not
Immediately fatal it is among the most
nauseous and disgusting ills the flesh
is heir to, and the records show very
few or no cases of radical cure of
chronic catarrh by any of the many
modes of treatment until the introduc.
ton of Elys Cream Balm a few years
ago. The success of this preparation
has been most gratifying and surpris-
ing. No druggist is without it.

Lafayette College.

Lafayette College, at Easton, cele.
biated its dfty-ninth commencement
on the I6-2oth inst, and graduated a
class of fifty members, equally divided
between the Classical and Technical
courses Of study. The Senior Class
Day, by the excellent choice of music
and elaborate preparations, attracted
an assemblage of 1900 persons.
Among the novelties not on the
usual programs OF College occasions
were fantastic parade of the Fresh
men In honor of their sailing safely
into Sophomore seas and a dramatic
representation by the Sophomore
Glass Of the story of Pocahontas. The
principal addresses were by Robert +.
Speer, OF New York City, on "The
Heroism OF Missions" Or. John S.
Macintosh, Of Philadelphia, on "Scot-
lands Story of Andrew Melville" and
Walter c. Gilmore, Of Williamsport,
on college Men and Politics" 1t
is pleasing to note that seventeen of
the students will be delegates to the
Moody Worlds Bible Conference, at
Northfeld, on the goth instant. The
opening Of the new athletic grounds,
covering seven acres, and the receipt
of $4,000 legacy from DR.. Charles
Elliott were noticeable as exponents
of the constant growth of the College.
President Warfeld stated that the re-
ceipts from tuition had increased
$1,000 per annum. The ladies Of
Easton gave banquet to ESQ gradu.
ates at the close Of the commence
mcnt exercises, when it was announc-
ed that w. H. Keech, of Pittsburg,
James R, Hogg,. the carpet manu-
facturer of Philadelphia, f. J. Fox, of
Easton, and Senator Grlggs, of New
Jersey, had been chosen trustees.
Besides the regular degrees the fol-
lowing honorary degrees were conferred:

Solemn Facts About Fish and Fishing

Anglers who have been fishing
from the Wrightsville dam this week
report seeing many carp in the river.
The carp come up as far as the dam,
and, finding their further progress i'm
peded by that structure, attempt to
jump over it. Many large carp are
daily seen attempting to Jump over
the dam. Amos Hoffman, one of
York's most persistent anglers, was
compelled to retreat from his position
on the dam to avoid being struck by
big carp that attempted to surmount
the dam Immediately in front of him.
The fish, he declares, was nearly
three feet in length.
Susquehanna salmon, or wall.eyed
pike, are reported plentiful and are
biting freely.
A party of half a dozen anglers
from Stewartstown recently spent a
day fishing in the river at McCalls
Ferry. Their catch aggregated 200
fish of good size, mostly bass and sal
mon.
Ellsworth Mohn and Henry Schon-
our were off on fishing trip to Bow
Evansville, and caught a few fine
messes. The former caught a fish of
a rare specimen. 1t had head SINH
lar to that of oaboon, and had AZ
horns about one-sixteenth of an inch
in length. The eyes were like a
chickens and yellow in color. The
body was black and white spotted,
and was about nine inches long.
Joseph Breneman, of Linestown.
recently went fishing at McCalrs
Ferry, Pa, and fell in a hole 100 feet
deep and was drowned. He had
gone with his son to rock in the
river from which he fshed. While
standing near the edge he lost his
footing, slid into the water and sank
out of sight. His hat afterward
reached the surface, but all efforts to
recover his body were futile. The
son was too small to assist his father
in any way.

1t must be remembered that all our
strikes and present distressed COM
mercial conditions have been genera
ted under the benign influence of Re
publican law. We have no other res
ponsible law as yet. All Democratic
efforts to pass other laws affecting
our commerce, our tariff and our per
sonal taxation, has thus far failed to
pass. Come, now, let's give the glory
of our distressed conditions to whom
the glory belongs. For Democracy
has really done nothing but threaten
as yet.

The portrait presented here is that of
Mrs. j. NJ. Bender, who lives on the old
York Road at Ncetown, Pa. She has
been for many years in very poor health.
She had falling OF the womb and other
forms of female weakness, with headache,
severe backache, pains all over her body,
and serious kidney trouble.
Her blood was in such bad state that
physicians said she had dropsy. Nearly
discouraged she tried Lydia Il. Pinkhdm's

She now wishes to tell women all over

Mrs. Leases letter went only for so
much old woman talk, but Justice AL
len wrote as one having authority.
What the Times objects to is that Allen
should SO stuitify himself as to render
Lewelling. whom he accused of high
dismeanors, respectable in comparison.
Mrs. Lease declared that she could prove
hsr charges, but Mollie generally proves
too much. Besides Allen didn't write
for publication, but in confidence and Of
troubled conscience He solemnly
declared over his own signature, that
he knew, from friends, that the admin
istration of the affairs of some, if not all
of the cities of the first class in the state,
Is thoroughly corrupt, and that he had
reason for believing that it was by the
sanction of the governor. And yet AL
len Is running on the same ticket with
Lsweliing and supporting him. The
Times concludes by saying that it was
once bleeding Kansas" and manly
men pitied the sufferings of her people.
But it's now prostituted Kansas, and
there is little sympathy for community
that would elevate Lewelling and Allen
to q high station.

he WAS BRUTALLY MURDERED.

The brutal murder of Willard Stark,
the Santa Fe Waterman, suggests some
much needed changes in our dealings
with criminals. The frequent occur
renee of such tragedies should be taken
as proof that something Is wanting.
That law abiding citizens should be
butchered these latter days more than
formerly must be taken as evidence that
either the law is inadequate, or some
people ale not doing their duty. What is
needed is to get at the facts, to the end
that the remedy may beapplied radically
and effectually.
The custom Of offering rewards for
the arrest of murderers is. at least, one Of
doubtful propriety. 1t is not charged
that officers wait in any case for this to
be done, but where it is the rule, they
are too human TO come forward with
exceptions by the prompt arrest of
criminals before they are out of sight.
4 still greater obstruction TO swift
justice is the means employed in courts
10 save the necks of self convicted
murderers. Smart lawyers by the
manipulation of testimony, arranging
authorities and play upon the weak
ness Of Jurors manage to save the lives
and even release a large per centage of
these criminals. 1t were a pity that
public sentiment cannot be made to
bear so heavily upon this kind Of legal
service that the man who engages in it
may feel that he cannot afford it, either
from a professional or social standpoint.
There is also that ever present namby-
PANTY, cheap sentiment against taking
the life of a prisoner because it may
forestall the possibility OF Saving his
soul" The wonder is that people who
claim to represent the great principle of
justice to all can close their eyes TO the
irreparable wrong toward 4 worthy per-
son. and plead for the pardon of a known
criminal Is is sufficient to say that
there Is a Higher Power who determines
the fate of souls, and that the fate of
the murderer throughout eternity will
hardly be determined by petitions and
prayers before courts when their necks
are in danger.
The life of Willard Stark was worth
more 10 the community than all the cut
Threats in the United States. lie had
the manly courage to accept such
service as lie could get. to provide an
honorable support for himself and his
aged mother. That he should be butch

should be the strongest possible in
cenave to the officers to secure his ar
rest and conviction.

There are no limitations to intinity.
What would have become Of Jonah Il
the whale had choked: The Times would
probably conjecturally assume that
Jonah would have drowned. The
chances are, however, that he would
have f1oated ashore all the same, but in
the taorax OF dead fish instead of III the
belly of a live one. Still JOnah's mis-
take was in putting to sea at all. lie
should have remained on dry land, trust
ed 10 his gourd, stuck to his text and
howied the Ninnevite5 deaf and blind.
In other words the EAGLE, on this
female suffrage question, don't propose
to take water or to fail to profit BY the
example furnished By Jonah's mistake.
The record seems 4 little obscure as to
the sex of the fish that swallowed Jonah,
but he being man the Inference IS that
it was a female fish. Mrs. Lease is a
woman, therefore a female, and her
husband. being but a man, would, IN
the event OF female suffrage, hardly ven
ture to Jonah either her or the ballot
box.
OF course we are more inclined to the
conviction that this disturbing presence,
in cur political paradise, is more the
same ''old serpent" only that it Is so big
it looks like a whale. The Times viii
recall that in the garden incident, after
Miss Eve had become Mrs. Adam, so
long as she refrained from striking out
on her own hook and skylarking under
the trees with the aforesaid serpent, she
probably never dreamed of doing up her
mate, much less Of forcing him TO swal-
low fruit that his vermiform appendix
couldn't assimilate. Up to that time
Adam had dreamed that she was an
angel. doubtless neglecting his flower
beds in watching for her wings to
sprout They never sprouted. So our
esteemed contemporary will look in
vain for any angel wings in this female
suffrage business, and we trust it will
cease annoying Us with its Improbable
suggestions of ga wider industrial free

of interfering such interpretations as
