BEAUTY IS NO INHERITANCE.
Cosmetics do not Beautify,


 6ut efkeH Iestrcy c heaAhay complexion
 Kate Field has made the remark able statement that the enormous sum of sixty-two million dollars are spent every year by Ameri- can women for cosmetics, face powders, washes of all kinds, most of which are made of oxide of zinc, corrosive sublimate and other poi sonous substances which, instead of beautifying the complexion, destroy even healthy skin. A natural rosy and healthy complexion can not be had by the use of these cos metics, but only through the health oi the body in general, and nothing is better to secure this result than the genuine imported Carlsbad Sprudel Salt, when taken early in the morning before breakfast about a small teaspoonful, dis solved in a tumblerful of water
 The remarkable merit of this salt, which is produced by the City of Carlsbad by the evaporation of the Carlsbad Sprudel water, has been known to the civilized world for more than five centuries. It has achieved its unapproachable repu- tation and retains it wholly on its merits. It is natural remedy that is always effective in all disorders of the stomach, liver and kidneys. For habitual constipation, gouty and rheumatic affections it is with out equal. It clears the complexion and produces q healthy color Be sure to obtain the genuine article which has the signature of "Eisner & Mendelson Co.,, Agents, N. Y," on every bottle. Price per bottle 100; large size $1.5o.

Prendergast, the Murderer Of Carte Harrison, shouts and Fights In tn COurt Roovn

Prendergast, the Murderer Of Garter Harrison, shouts and Fights in the Court Room.
 CHICAGO, Feb. 16.-Pstrick Eugene Prendergsst, the murderer of Mayor liar. rison, snlivened the proceedings before Judge Brentano to-day in the argument for a new trial by little combat with the baliffs. Prendergast desired to speak to Prosecuting Attorney Truds and when the latter entered the room the prisoner jumped from his seat and called to MT. Trude. Two of the bailiffs called to Prem dergast to return to his seat and on his re. fusing to do so they seized him and after a brief struggle compelled him to return. Shortly afterwards Prendsrgast shouted: 'I must and will speak to MT. Trude."
 The court granting his request Prender- gast approached MT. Trude and In low tone said:
 "Mr. Trade, have you any feeling against mel"
 "Not, personally" replied MT. Trude. ''I am only doing my duty"
 Prendergast then entered into 8 short conversation which was perfectly unin- telligible to everyone and which ended in low mumbling noise. The bsiliffs at. tempted to conduct him away, but Prem dergast strenuously objecting, the court allowed him to sit on one of the jury chairs before counsel. An attempt of the de- fence to present rebuttal affidavit from MT. McMillan was opposed by MT. Trude. Judge Brentano sustained MT. Trude's ob- jeotion and closed the introduction of sfidavits.
 Attorney Heron began the reading of the voluminous affidavit of the defence, set- ting forth arguments to sustain the nine teen reasons why Frendergsst should have @ new trial. When he concluded the state attorney read the affidsvits filed by the state, which were practically denials of the statements made in the af6davits filed by the defence. The court then adjourned until 1 :45 o'clock when Mir. Wade began the opening address on behalf of Prender- uaaG

MCLEOD ON THE STAMP.

l He Was Under Examination for Two
 Hours and Told of the Deal Win
 the Boston and Maine and the New
 York and New England Roads.
 PHILADELPHIA, Feb. 18-Ex-Presiden
 McLsod of the Reading read was on tn.
 stand for two hours to. day at the hearing in the suit by Isaac D. Rice for the re. moval of the Reading receivers. MT. Nc Leod told how, when he became its presi. dent in 1890, he improved the roads gen. eral condition, and how and why the coal combine and the Boston and Maine and New York and New England deals were formulated.
 A vital point developed was MT. Mo- Leod's declaration to Attorney Bliure that the "stock transactions (meaning the Bos- ton and Maine and the New England deals) had nothing more to do with the receiver ship than you had" MT. Mcleod said the expenses of the Reading during bis admin istration were lower than thoss of any road in the country. He then dwslt upon the leasing of the Jersey Central and Le- high Valley roads, telling what an ad- vantage it was to the Reading to control the anthracite coal output and explained the efforts to secure control of the Boston and Maine and New England.
 MT. McLsod said that at least 2,000, 900 of anthracite and ,500, GOO tons of pitumi- nous coal would have been marketed in the New England states by the Reading, with a respective profit to the latter company of 80 cents and 30 cents per ton, had the New York and New England and Boston and hasn dlo1a hacr fAI la clared that the mining of the two millions of anthracite would have reduced the cost of mining the Readings whole output 15 cents per ton, thus giving an annual net gain to the Reading of about g, 700, 900.
 While detailing the methods employed In the stock transactions Mr. Mcleod said he pledged $320, coo of Reading general mort gage bonds which he personally owned with Prince 6 Co so ss not to involve the Reading company in the purchase of the stock should the plan miscarry. Attorney Bijure ssked MT. Mcleod where he got the $320, ,000 of bonds, whersupon the ex pres ident produced receipt from Maxwell & Graves of New York for S300, ,000 of the securities, they being bought at S5i lees 2s per cent.
 Mr. McLsod said his name should not have been used in connection with the transactions and declared that the accounts were or ought to have been in the name of George Fl. Earle, jr., president of the Ff- nance company, who was chosen as the agent. Mir. Mcleod stated that he did not feel certain the road would go into 8 re- ceiver's hsnds until the morning the receiv- CTS were appointed. He told of a confer ence in Boston with Broker Prince after he hsd resigned from the presidency, which was held with view to forming a syndi- cate and by carrying the New England and Boston and Maine stocks maintaining con- trol of the roads in interest of Reading. The plan was abandoned, however, when Prince refused to waive claim to $250, ,000 commission.
