IN CELL TWENTY-E|GHT.
William Henry Theodore Dur
rant Remanded to the
County Jail.
PRISON OFFICIALS ARE GLAD.
In the Police Rogues'
Gallery.

There was feeling of relief among the
officials Of the City Prison yesterday after
noon when William Henry Theodore Dur
rant was removed from the cell he had
occupied since his arrest three weeks ago
and taken to the County Jail
Yesterday morning Judge Conlan signed
the commitments, and shortly afterward,
at the request of General Dickinson, a
barber was sent for and Durrant was
shaved and had his long hair trimmed.
About noon Detectives Bainbridge and
Seymour took him to the department pho
tographer, who took his photograph, which
will be placed in the "rogpes' gallery" at
police headquarters. He sat placidly and
unconcernedly and obeyed the instructions
of the photographer implicitly.
About half-past l o'clock hack drove
up to the City Prison and in few min
utes Durrant, carrying a satchel in his
hand which contained his comb and brush
and few other articles, appeared, pre-
coded by Detective Seymour and followed
by Detective cambridge. Seymour stepped
into the hack, Durrant followed, and Balm
bridge jumped in and closed the door.
There was no one around, as it was not
known when Durrant's removal would
take place. On the way to the County
Jail Durrant chatted pleasantly to the
two detectives on general topics, but
nothing was said about the charges on
which he had been held.
On arriving at the jail Durrant was con-
fined in cell %, on the west side of the cor
ridor, which has been the abiding place of
several notorious murderers.
/ 1t was at one time suggested that Dur
rant should be kept in the City Prison
until the conclusion of the trials in the
Superior Court, as was done in the case of
Murderer Fredericks, but Chief Crowley
was opposed to the scheme. He did not
desire to have Durrant longer on his hands
than be could help, as the responsibility
for his safety would rest upon him instead
of the Sheriff.

NO REDUCTION PLEDGED,
Four Supervisors Not Bound
by Any Non-PartiSan
Agreement.
What bunker, Taylor and Hobbs Say
About the Water-Rate Con-
tentiOn.

Now that the time is drawing near at
hand when the Water Committee of the
Board of Supervisors must fix the rates for
the fiscal year, which opens on July 1, the
mem bers, not only of the committee but
of the entire board, are taking an active
interest in the matter and all that apper-
tains thereto.
After the several meetings which were
held, and in the course of which consur.
ers were exa mined, as well as represent =
tives of the water company, with view OF
arriving at an equitable adjustment Of
rates, the committee considered the
various propositions laid before them.
Property-owners, who had to pay the
rates demanded by the water company
whether they used meters or not, COM
planned that the rates were too high. On
the other hand, the water company claimed
that no discrim lnatiop had been made be-
tween patrons who used or did not use
meters.
The corporation demanded sufficient re-
turn on invested capital a percentage on
their bonded Indebtedness, their operating
expenses and margin of profit besides.
When questioned as to their pledges to
the Non-Partisan party Messrs. Taylor,
Hobbs, Hughes and Dunker repudiated the
idea that they had ever made any pledges
which might require any definite percent
age of reduction In the water rates.
Mr.. Taylor said when asked about the
pledge: There was no pledge. There
was q letter, but aside from that there was
an oral agreement which declared only in
favor of reduction, no percentage being
mentioned.
'The reduction is to come but the per-
centage of the reduction has not yet been
fixed. Just what that percentage will be
has not yet been determined
Mr.. bunker and Mr.. Hobbs practically
supported Mr.. Taylor in his statements.
Mr.. bunker said 81 made no pledge
for any definite percentage of reduction of
the water rate. 1t would have disqualified
any member of the board to have been
previously pledged
As the matter stands the percentage of
reduction in the water rates will not be de-
termined until the recommendations of the
Water COMMITTEES come up before the full
Board of Supervisors.

Again, there is a short, dry cough and occa-
sion paroxysms of an asthmatic character.

various eruptionS appear.
So it is seen that eatarrh causes a long train
of symptoms but little understood and appre-
ciated by the average physician, because he
comes in contact with so few patients From
an experience OF many years in treating an
average of 100 patients daily, Drs. Copeland
and Neal feel that they are justified in claim
ing that catarrh affects the whole system, the
eyes, ears, nose throat, bronchial tubes, lungs,
stomach, bowels, kidneys, liver, bladder, ETC.,
etc.
They also feel justified in claiming that their
new system of treatment consisting of local med
icat1on, combined with administration of medi-
cine internally, is the only rational method of
cure. In this they are certainly sustained by
the hundreds of testimonials from reputable
citizens which have been published during the
past six years.

WHAT is CATARRHe

Drs. Copeland and Neal are frequently asked
''What is catarrh?" and ''How can person tell
when he has the disease?" Briefly, catarrh in
this climate is chiefly the result of neglected
colds or a succession of colds. Beginning with
naso-pharyngeal irritation (that is, the cold
first settles at the junction of the back part OF
the nose and upper portion of the throat) the
catarrhal Inflammation rapidly extends up
ward through the EuStacian tubes into the
ears, causing:
Buzzing roaring, kissing or ringing sounds.
The hearing is gradually impaired.
The noises and impaired hearing are always
worse in damp weather and when the patient
has cold.
The ears often discharge.
At other times the ears are dry, itchy and
filled with wax.
Earache is a frequent accompaniment, es-
pecially in children.
Continuing its course upward, the catarrhal
Inflammation extends through the lachrymal
ducts into the conjunctival mucus membrane.

These swellings are aggravated by damp

These. sweRings are also aggravated when

The nostrils often discharge mucus, which

At other times it is tough and tenacious and
requires considerable blowing and snuffing

A feeling of tightnesS is often noticed over

TO TEST THE FEE LAW.
The Sheriff Sued for Refusing to Accept
Fee.

Fee.
The workings of the fee law have not
yet apparently commended themselves to
all the parties who have occasion to come
within its scope. The necessity of secur-
ing many different blanks and receipts at
the City Hall from different departments
while the money must be paid in another
is yet novelty to many.
Yesterday William F. Dockery obtained
from the Superior Court an alternative
writ of mandate compelling Sheriff Whelan

Whelan has been cited to appear in De-
partment on May 10 to show cause why
he should not issue the writ of attachment.
This action will work somewhat in the
nature of test case of the fee law. At

and was told to take it and pay it to the

Great Uncertainty Regarding the Action
of Newfoundland.
ST. JOHNS, NEWFOUNDLAND, May A.
The greatest uncertainty prevails regard
ing confederation with Canada. The Gov
eminent received letters from the Domin-
ion Cabinet last night and considered
them. Those qualified say that the dis
agreement continues. Official members of
the Government party say that confedera-
ton is dead, and that the only alternative
is to accept the position of crown colony.
The Ministry held two conferences with
Governor O'Brien, it is supposed on the
French shor question. The Governor in
sists upon the holding of general election
before the question of confederation is sub
mitted to the Assembly. The Whiteway-
ites-the Government party-refused to
agree to this, fearing that they would be
defeated.
