EXPERT COUNTERS,
Those Authorized Will he Taken
From the List Discharged Il Yenr Ago

Those Authorized VIII He Taken
From the List Discharged "a Year Ago
1t is expected that Secretary Carlisle will
appoint twenty-five money counters in
day or two. Provision for their appoint
ment is contained in the urgent deficiency
bill. which has just become a law by ex-
ecutive approval. The appropriation was
for twenty-five expert counters at SI2O per
annum each. They are greatly needed in
the treasurer's office to assist in the work
of counting and examining old and worn
out national bank notes sent in for re-
demption
Sixty-four women engaged on this work
were discharged last March because Of
decision of the controller of the treasury
that there was no legal authority for their
employ ment. They had been paid out of
the apprOpria ton for the purchase of silver
under the Sherman act.
This large reduction In the force EaS
seriously crippled the growing work of the
office and advantage will be taken at once
of the authority for the appointment of
twenty-five additional counters.
Secretary Carlisle has decided to make
the appointments out of the list Of sixty
four discharged counters. The statute calls
for experts and the Secretary feels con-
strained to give the old employees the
preference. Even restricting the appoint
ments to that list he will have great diff
ficulty in making the selections. 1t is
stated positively that the Secretary will
not go outside of that list in single in

DUKE" IS DEAD.
The Famous Horse of John Mcpherson
Gone,

The Famous Horse of John McPherson'
Duke" the horse owned and rode by
John Mcpherson for many years is dead.
Duke will be remembered as the
horse ridden in parades by Mr.. McPher-
son and others. His style and beauty
has attracted the attention of hundreds of
persons who had admired his actions.
Duke has not been seen on the street
for some time, the animal getting so old
that it had to be stabbed. One day last
week it was thought best to kill the horse
and end his existence.
The animal was killed and its carcass
boiled, and the skeleton will be set up for
the college of Natural Science, Philadel-
phia.
Duke was an exceptionally fine bred
animal. He was trained to his waltzing
act by Frank Couey, proprietor of the
West Philadelphia Riding School. Mr..
Coney always thought great deal of
Duke" and in fact everybody whoever
saw the animal greatly admired him.

A Timely Reminder.

Each season forces upon our considera
ton its own peculiar perils to health. The
advent of fall finds many reduced in
strength and vigor, poorly prepared to
continue the business of life. The stom-
ach and bowels, the great highway of
animal economy, is especially liable to
disorder in the fall. The nervous system
has also suffered in the struggle Typhoid
fever and malaria in particular find in
the fall that combination of earth, air and
water that mark this season as especially
dangerous. The falling leaves, the de-
caying vegetables contribute their share
of contamination. Hoods Sarsaparilla
furnishes most valuable safeguard at
these important points, and should be
used in the fall before serious sickness
has laid you low. 10 W 1t S 1t

SERIOUS ACCIDENT.

Four Men Fall From a Scaffold Twenty
five Feet and are Badly Injured.
A seriou accident occurred Wednesday
afternoon at the new glassworks of Nc
Intyre e. Co., at East Bridgeton. Four
men, James Harris, John Parks, Edward
Dudley and Clarence Hillman, were on a
high scaffold white washing the interior
of the building.
They had finished a certain part of their
work and were in the act of shifting the
scaffold when the accident occurred. In
some manner the lines of the scaffold
which held the men in mid-air slipped
throwing them twenty-five feet to the
floor of the building.
1t seems like miracle that any of them
escaped with their lives. AS it was, the
four men were dangerously injured.
James A. Harris was injured in the
foot, ankle and arms.
John Parks, who is nearly seventy
years old, had his back sprained and re-
ceived internal injuries.
u Edward Dudley was badly injured in
the back, and also internally injured.
!, Clarence Hillman received internal in
(juries.
The men were taken to their homes,
and Drs. J. r. G. Thompson and Theo-
dore Davis attended them.

READY TO GO INTO BLAST,
As Soon Manufacturers and EMPLOYEES
Agree on the Wage Scale Glass Fires
Will Start Up.

MILLvILLE, Sept. 3.-The outlook in
the glass business is not any better than
it was month ago, and firms all over
the country are holding their furnaces in
readiness to start at weeks notice, and
if the manufacturers and union can eff
feet a compromise or settlement, all of
the western firms will be in blast by the
18th of this month. Millville has many
blowers who are employed out in the gas
belt, and they expected to get to work by
the first of this month, but as yet have
not done so.
1t is the general impression that the
manufacturers are not holding off on ac-
connt of the wage scale, but are using
this as an excuse to the jobbers, and are
only waiting for the market to drain, so
glassware will be in demand. 1t is a
well-known fact that the markets were
glutted at the end of last years blast, and
many of the manufacturers carried more
stock than they have for years. The fact
that the firms have not gone to work
pending settlement gives strength to the
belief that the wage question is not a
cause of their idleness.

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications, they cannot reach the dis
eased portion of the ear. There is only one way to
cure deafness and that is by constitutional reme-
dies. Deafness is caused by an inhamed condition
of the mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube.
When this tube gets inflamed you have rumbling
sound or imperfect hearing, and when it is entirely
closed deafness is the result, and unless the in
lammation can be taken out and this tube restored
to its normal condition, hearing will be DESTROYED
forever; nine cases out ten caused by catarrh,
which is nothing but an inflamed condition of the
mucous surfaces.
We win give One Hundred Dollars for any case

How They Do In Cuba.

Washington, D. c., Feb: William F.
Mann!x, the American newspaper CORES
pondent in Cuba. who has been ordered
by. the authorities to leave the island,
wrote private letter to the Evening Star
here some days ago In Which he said he
had been Informed that he was black
listed at the palace at Havana. and any
more side trips would beithe cause of his
being invited to leave. The state de-
partn1ent has not yet been Informed Of
the intention Of the Spanish officials to
expel Mannix,. but il has been know d
here that his vigorous i letters have
proven Objectionable to The Spanish au-
thorit.es. a.
Senior De LONE says the Spanish consul
general at New York paid Mannfx's way
to Cuba, the latter representing that he
was in need OF financial assistance to get
to the island and that It would be we'll
for spain to have a correspondent for
American papers in Cuba Who would tell
the. truth about conditions as he. found
them. Subsequent events, the minister
says, proved TO him that Manriix was I'M
worthy of being trusted. ..s,fs

he had $780, 100000 bonds to sell the peo-
ple pulled out their old stockings, went to
the counter and laid down about $780,
00O, 900 n gold for the purpose of buying
them Such All offer gave Uncle Sam a
chance to select the best customers from
among so MANY offers, and he is en-
gagged in looking them over now. Some
of the bids went to>119. When the syndi-
cate took the last issue of per cents 1t
got them at less than los, and yet the

secure all he needs at not less than Ill.
According to this the Morgan syndicate
had what the gamblers call ga dead sure
thing and made a handsome penny by

One of the strongest nlaxims of Abe
Lincoln was to stick by the people. In

that the government could 90 step fur

waiting for an International conference,
as has been hopele ssly talked. about in
