Merit wins Favor.

At this time, when the cry from all sides
is 'hard times" it is refreshing to meet
with concern plucky enough to push for
ward to greater success. We refer to the
New York Condensed Mix Co., manufac-
turers of the justly famous Gail Borden
Eagle Brand Condensed Milk, which has
placed in operation four large manufactur-
ing plants during the past twelve months.
This gives them altogether fifteen facto-
ries, making the com pany the largest and
most important condensing company in
the world, possessing most OF the home
market and the largest share of the ex-
port trade.
There is something besides pluck and
enterprise that has built up this enormous
business. The genuine merit of the Gail
Borden Eagle Brand Condensed Milk is
recognized by all intelligent housekeepers
and has become necessity in the home.
AS an infant food it is without an equal
and the hundreds of thousands of children
successfully raised on it constitute testi-
monials OF merit which are available
everywhere. Infant Health" valuable
book OF information for mothers, will be
sent free to ali on application to the New
York Condensed Milk Company, New
York City.

CHAMPION CoRBETT.
He Arrives From the Springs snd Will
Go East Immediately on
Buainess.

Champion Jim Corbett arrived from
Bartlett Springs last evening in the COM
pany of his wife. When seen last evening
at the st. Nicholas Hotel the champion
said that he regretted very much to take
his departure from the springs so soon, as
he had benefited very much during his
sojourn at Bartlett; and had it not been
for telegram he received from his man
ager, Brady, he proposed to remain in
Lake County for several weeks yet.
Corbett will leave for Asbury Park on
Friday or Saturday, as he has important
business to transact with his manager,
who expects to see Corbett not later than
the 31st inst. 1t is presumed that Brady
has some scheme on hand regarding the
proposed place where the fight between
Corbett and Sharkey will be pulled off, u
and naturally he is very anxious to con-
suit with the champion before anything
is done in the premises.

PAST ELECTION FRAUDS.
Communication From Max Pop.
per to Be Sent to the
Grand Jury.
Protests, Written and Verbal, Sub.
mitted TO the Commissioners
Last Night.

The Board of Election Commissioners
met last night when, among other mat
tiers, it was decided to send a communica-
tion from Max Pepper to the Grand Jury
for action.
A protest WAS received from FIVE resi-
dents of the Eighth Precinct, Thirty first
District, against the appointment of Frank
Haynes on the election board, as he was
not resident in the City Also against
the appointment of Samuel f. Thompson
on the ground that he was a member of
the election board last time and counte-
nanced the extensive frauds at that elec-
ton.
Citations were issued to the signers of
the protests to appear before the Commits
sioners tonight for exa mination.
1t having been rep orted that Max Pop
per and ex-A uditor Smiley had submitted
blacklist to the commissioners J. H.
O. Brien, Buckiey's lieutenant, appeared
and said il was understood that the Com
missioners would recognize both factions
of the Democracy. He never heard of any
blacklist, and 1t showed that Pepper and
Smiley, by submitting such list, wanted
to shut out the regulars.
The Commissioners promised O'Brien
that all would have an equal chance.
Then William Humphreys wanted the
regulars as well as the reiormers repre-
sented. He was proceeding to make a
speech when Commissioner Broderick cut
him short by informing him that if he had
any protest to make the Commissioners
would receive ii in writing.
Max Pepper sent in the following names
of those officers whom he considered ineli-
gibie to act on the election board:
ID. Sherrin, First Precinct, Thirtieth
District, who had sworn he lived at 9O3
Market street, but P opper claimed he did
not live there.
John Kelly, Thirteenth Precinct,
Twenty-nlnth District, who he claimed
was not Democrat.
Samuel F. Thompson, Eighth Precinct
Thirty-trst district, who he claimed was a
Republican.
The following Communication was
handed to the Commissioners from Max
Pepper:
deem it eminently proper to apprise your
board that Mr.. Sewell of the First Precinct Of
the Twenty-ninth District, the gentleman
heretofore objected 70 owing TO his unfor.
tuuate experience with an irregular board OF
election in the past states who the
culpriis we're that consummated the fraudu-
lent work. Furthermore he has mentioned
that they are now employees engaged as Re-
publican and Democratic officers respectfully
On motion of Commissioner Block the
communication was referred to the Grand
jury.
