AN OLD MAN IN PETTIcoATs.-A

AN OLD MAN IN PETTIcoATs.-A
sensational capture was made at Clifton
Heights, Pa, Saturday night, when
Edward Stillwagen, aged fifty years,
an engineer, was arrested, clad in fash
ionable female attire. 1t was the cul-
mination OF a peculiar mystery that has
puzzled that town for two years. Heis
the famous ''cloak man" who has ter
rorized women and children so long.
4 feature of the case is that Stillwagen
says he dressed in women's clothes in
order to run down his wife's alleged
admirer. a great crowd followed him
to the station house, and the angry
citizens wanted to mob the gayly-robed
citizen. When taken into the Justices
Office, it was found that the prisoner
wore a complete outfit of woman's
dress, even to underclothing, corsets,
and long stockings. Stillwagen has
been separated from his wife for two
wears.

KAISER AND BROTHER RECoNCILED.
As predicted some time ago, the Queen
and ex-Empress Frederick, of Ger
many eldest of Queen Victoria's chill
dren), have accomplished a reconcilia-
tion between Emperor William of
Germany and his brother, Prince
Henry of Prussia, the popular captain
of the German battleship Woerth.
Truth, discussing the reconciliation,
says that the Emperor's complacency is
due to his ''feverish anxiety to
strengthen his relations with the
Russian court" Prince Henry is a
favorite with his sister-in-law, the
Czarina, who made the special request
that the Prince and Princess represent
the Court of Berlin at the approaching
coronation of Nicholas II at Moscow.
1t is said that the reconciliation took
place without Prince Henry apologizing
in any way for his part in the quarrel,
which took place between himself and
the Kaiser on the occasion of the cere-
monies at Kiel in celebration of the
opening Of the North Sea Baltic Canal.

A False Diagnosis.

La Grippe is confounded by many persons
with severe attack of catarrh. which in some
respects resembles the former. These indi-
yidnals suffer severely with pain about the
forehead, eyes and ears, with soreness in
throat aud stoppage of the nasal passages, and
in fact are incapacitated for work OF any
kind for days at time. These are catarrhal
sufferers. Ely's Cream Balm has been used
with the best results in such cases. The
remedy will give instant relief.

dried up the morning of the earth
quake. They are now overlooking
with cool, clear water, which seems IL
bubble up from thousand different
springs in the river bed.
The natives, with scarcely single

that the world will surely come to an
end at very early date. Not one oil

hundred yards of the river.
Besides the river and pools, springs
of the purest and freshest water have
sprung up in the driest places, the one
of the greatest proportions being on the
top Of the very summit of the highest
hill in the neighborhood.
At one of the springs the water is OF
plinkish tint and is the very finest OF
mineral water. The output is now
about twenty five gallons per minute.
The many distilleli' $ which have here
