What Causes ll Pimples?

Clogging Of the pores or mouths of the
sebaceous glands with sebum or oily matter.
The plug of sebum in the centre of the pim-
pie is called a blackhead, grub, or comedone.
Nature will not allow the clogging of the
pores to continue long, hence,
Inflammation, pain, swelling and redness;
later pus or matter forms, breaks or is opened,
the plug comes out, and the pore is once more
free.
There are thousands of these pores in the
face alone, any one of which is liable to be-
come clogged by neglect or disease.

Old Railway Brotherhocis Opposed q
the Ame rIcan Railway Union.

CHICAGO, Feb. 5.-The fight between the
American Railway union and the railroad
brotherhoods which antcdatcd the strike
of last summer and became more bitter at
that time because the old brotherhood
men refused to join in the strike, has not
been softened by the hand of time. In
stead, the feeling between the rival bodies
has become more intense. The subject
was discussed at length by 200 or more
leaders of the Order of Railway Conduct
ors in the drill room on the seventeenth
floor of the Masonic temple, and an nl-
most unanimous expression was found in
the adoption of a resolution recommend
ing to the coming annual convention of
the grand division that the line be drawn
in the order to exclude all members who
refuse to renouncc allegiance to the Amer
lean Railway union.
There are many members of the Order
of Conductors who are also members of
the American Railway union. The lead
ers in the meeting insisted that no man
could serve two masters; that TO conduc-
tor could hold a membership in two or
ganizations whose interests were mimi
cal, and between which there was n con-
slant warfare. They said the avowed OBJ.
jcct of the American Rail way union was
to absorb all the railway employees of the
country and the disbandment Of the old
organizations.

men has adopted an order demanded by
the trolley line strikers to forfeit the
franchises of the trolley line companies.
y committee consisting of four members
of district assembly No. -, II. of L., called
upon Mayor Schieren at his Office to urge
the mayer to sign the resolution which
was passed by the board OF aldermen. The
committee was aeceived by Secretary
Palmer, and he went i'm and asked the
mayor what he proposed to do. The
mayor replied: when this resolution
comes before me on Wednesday next in
the regular way / will have something to
say about it, l decline to Say in advance
what l shall do
Secretary Palmer informed the delega-
tion OF the mayors answer and they then
expressed n desire to see his honor person.
ally. Secretary Palmer informed the
mayor OF the committees wish and he
came out and reiterated the message de-
livercd by his secretary. The delegation
then Withdrew. Everything was quiet
during the afternoon. The strikers have
been cxhortcd by their leaders not to
make any breach of the law and they car
rIcd this wish out to the letter.

One That Made His Own Personal Inter-
ests lAntasonistic to His Trust.
The judge closed as follows: Il feel
at liberty, therefore, to look upon the case
now rs if this We're an original applica-
tion for the appointment of receivers and
the stockholders were in court urging
their several preferences. The admissions
in this case disclose that Mr. Greenhut, at
the time of his appointment, was under
an agreement upon the New York stock
exchange to deliver, upon demand, I5,OOO
shares of the stock of the company. and
he was not the posscssor of any of them In
sued a situation ne could have but one
personal interest; every appreciation of
the stock amounted to a large cut into his
personal fortune.
"As n receiver his duty would be to con-
serve the property and enhance the value;
as private individual his interest was to
dcpreciate its value Under such cir
cumStanccs his acceptance of the receiver
ship was simply an imposition upon the
court. Indeed, l will knowingly accent
no man us a receiver for any corporation
who Is, or has been, spcculator in its
stocks. Private interest and official duty
do not we'll go hand in hand. The inter
est of the man is very apt to color if not
overcome the duty of the official The
need of the day in corporate affairs is for
managers who have an eye single to the
interests Of their trust. Such men will
never be found as long rs stockholders
permit them to gamble upon their securi-
ties
Especially is il the need of the dav
that officials who only come in contact
with these affairs by virtue Of their Office
should keep clean of any personal inter-
meddling that might even rc rotcly. tend

safe rule is to touch not with the private
fingers that which is intended only for

shall remove Mr.. Greenhut. / am de-
termined SO far as possible to have
searching inquiry into the affairs Of this
company, and in the interest of the con-
serving and rounding up of its assets, and
for that purpose, shall name a man who

will be the representative of the court,
upon whose Judgment the court will
largely rely.
Il shall associate with him one of the

on account of their proposal to finance

unanimous wish of the directors should
be recognized They are the parties in

they are especially intimate with the

ness.
Il shall, therefore, associate with the
principal receiver a man whose appoint

whose experience as a distiller will aid in
the administration OF the trust. An order
may be entered removing Mr.. Greenhut

Nulta will be regarded as the principal

| MILWAUKEE, Feb. 5.-A trolley car of
the Russell avenue and Holton street line
ran through the open draw of Kinnickinic
bridge. The car struck endwise on the ice,
| through which it plunged in the water.
| The car was bound toward Bayview and
was pretty well filled with passengers
when the accident occurred but some of
| them were rescued without serious injury.
The ice broke the windows of the car,
which stood on end and only partially
| filled with water. The first body recovered
was that OF woman, who was taken out
| few minutes after the accident The
! car was in charge of Conductor Peterson.
The bridge had been opened to permit the
passage of the fircboat Foley, which was
| breaking the ice in the Kinnickinic. The
| members of the Foley's crew rendered
| valuable assistance in rcscuing those who
| were saved and in recovering the bodies
of the victims.
Was Due to Carelcssness.
From all accounts the accident seems
to have clearly been due to the careless
| ness of the motorman, but he stuck to his
| post in Il vain Cndeavor to stop the car
which he had permitted to approach too
near the open draw and paid the penalty
of his carelessness with his life. The car
struck end-wise in the river and was sub
, merged for about two-thirds of its length,
| the fact that it did not go to the bottom
| of the river, which is eighteen feet deep mt
that point, being due to the presence of
| thick ice. This circumstance alone, it is
| believed, made it possible to rescue any of
| the passengers. The dead are: Mrs An

Bays the Jurist in Reply to the "Recom-
mend' of the Directors-A s.Short" Seller
Of Whisky Trust Stock Not Likely To BE
Enthusiastic in Booming the Property
Ownership of the Concern sin the Air.
and Continually Changing.
CHICAGO, Feb 5. - The decision Of
Judge Grosscup in the whisky trust re-
ceivership case shows q wide difference Of
opinion between the juiist and the di-
rectors of the concern who presented q
sworn certificate of good reputation and
business ability in favor of Joseph Green
hut. The judge, far from agreeing with
the directors, thought Greenhut the last
man in the world-nearly-who should
have anything to do with the conservation
Of the property and this was largely be-
cause of a confession Greenhut had made
of little transaction in stocks-said
stocks being whisky trust stocks-and
speaking of stocks the judge outlined
state Of things" regarding the whisky
trust
Who Owns the Stock, Anyhow
For evidence had been given that made
it impossible to know who owned the
whisky trust. The men in control did
not, and SO rapid were tho changes that
the judge said no one did from one day to
another. he said: 1.-THE admissions of
counsel upon the hearing disclose that
but small proportion of the $50, 900
shares OF stock is held for investment pur-
poses. Tho COUNSEL for the directors
could recall less than 10, 0O0 shares, and
f. .. I.
6i,Oc0 shares of this character. There are
probably some more, but the fact remains
that the vastly larger proportion Of the
stock is in the hands of New York brokers
for speculative purposes, and thus subject
to such rapid mutations of ownership
that the stockholders list of today fur
nishes no guide and but little suggestion
of what it may be tomorrow.
Appointments of Receiver Was Regular.
This vast issue OF certificates, instead
of representing substantial ownership of
the property of the company, is only the
chess board upon which has been played
the game of speculative finance Then
after saying that h. sympathics were
not with the gamblers but the investors
he said that the talk of irregular receivers
was incorrect. 1T was not only the right
but the duty of the clerk to keep the pro-
ceedings unrevcalcd until they had reach
ed their destination in the office at Peoria.
But this does not relieve the case of the
considerations, to some of which / have
already advertcd, and of others of which 1
shall ROW speak
Managers who Have No Interest.
'It is shown that not only were the
complaining stockholders without any
considerable interest in the property and
that only Of n temporary character, but
neither had the conscnting president or
directors any substantial interest. The
practical effect of the proceeding. there
fore, was to bring into the custody of the
court and away from the control of its
owners n vast property without invoking
upon full inquiry the independent judg-
mcnt of the court as to the necessity Of
such a step, and Mt the instance of those
who had only a small fraction Of interest
therein"
