The formula OF the Recamler Cream had
been purchased in Paris by Mrs. Aver in the
days OF her former prosperity. From her own
experience she felt sure that it filled want
and she decided TO put it upon the market. An
unused top loom in her residence and tiny
gas stove were a first appropriated 10 its
manufacture, but within a month the demand
for the article SO great that it became
necessary TO occupy much larger quarters and
to employ number Of assistants. Mrs Aver

cARTER's LITTLE LIVER -ILLs.

Brent Good was born in Roches ter, N Y,
in 1897, and was taken by his parents to Can
ada and reared on farm loca ted near the Bay
of Quinte, Ont. His school life was followed
by an apprenticeship 10 the drug business at
BelleVille Ont. Toward the end of the year
1856 he made his way to New York and OBJ
tained q position with Derras Barnes d Co..
who were at that time the largest handlers of
proprietary medicines in the world. His dill
gence was soon rewarded by his employers and
he was placed on their travelling staff. and
fnally, in 1868, he taken into the firm
In 1869, however, the partnership was dis
solved by the selling of the stock and good

for the purpose OF importing wines. But he
stll retained prediction for his old business
and in 1878 he purchased an interest in the
valuable pill made by DR.. Carter of Erie, Pa
who was at that time doing n business of
$4,000 year with it. Mr. Good formed
the Carter Medicine Company and became
its president, treasurer and general manager
For several years he confined his efforts to the
United States and Canada, but in 1886 he
opened a laboratory in London and gave our
British cousins an example of Yankee enter
prise that they, did not relish. The English
newspapers especially denounced his enor-
nous colored posters and as sequence bill
was introduced in Parliament to prevent all
such advertising display But this action was
like boomerang and hit two ways at once. 1t
advertised the pills SO thoroughly that they at
once became popular and are now considere
as standard. Mr.. Good possesses the rather
rare faculty of knowing good thing when he
sees 1t. This is evidenced not only by his
numerous fertile advertising ideas, but by his
successes in other lines of business. AZ on in
stance of this may be cited the Writing Tele-
graph Company, which he organized and
which sold out in 1892 paying the original
stockholders an enormous profit on their origi-
nal investment. Mr.. Good owns the Lyceum
Theater in New York and is connected in

interest.
BY some mstake-or at least we will be
charitable and call il so-the foreman in one
OF the New York news paper offices managed to
mix up one OF the piN announcements with a
railroad advertisement. The result was rather
ridiculous and was the occasion of consfdera-

Brandreth cons picuously before the people, and
the notoriety thus attained was very servicea-
bic. His pills had "A very extensive sale and.

MORE POLICE RAIDS.
Mrs. Fogarty Held and Mrs. KettriclS
Hauled I'm.

Last evening, pursuant to the postpone
ment Of Monday night Mrs. Mary Fogarty
appeared before Justice Deugler to have a
hearing ON the charge that she maintained
a bawdy house on West Centre street During
the day Mrs. Fogarty had made all kinds of
threats of exposure, etc, but that did not
deter Chief Tosh from pushing the case
He is determined to pull every place against
which he can get evidence and no threats or
other intimidation, he says. will
turu him Off the course If any
people laying claim to respectablity are
caught in any of the raids he will not
be responsible for their misfortune. Mrs.
Fogarty didn't have near as much to say
before Justice Dengler last night as she had
threatened. All the talking, or at least most
of it was done by Chief Tosh's witnesses,
residents of the vicinity of Mrs. Fogarty's
house, who swore without hesitation and
positively against the reputation of the place
Among the witnesses were Constable Thomas
Bolin, Silas Steele and wife, William Cattel
and wife and Mrs. Louisa Engleberger 1t
was also alleged that Mrs. Fogerty sold drink
without license. She was put under bail fol
trial at court, NJ. E. Doyle being her bonds
man..
After the Fogarty case was disposed of
Chief Tosh, Lieutenant Lee and Constable
Boland went to the house of Mrs. Kettrick
who is known to some people as Mrs. Leo
| Long, and arrested her on charge of Keep
ing bawdy house. Mrs. Little was also ar
rested in the place. Two married women of
unsavory reputation succeeded in getting
out of the place just before the police ar
rived Mrs. Kettrck furnished bail before
Justice Cardin. Mrs. Little was committed.

The County Court.

The cases growing out of the recent riot on
West Coal street. Shenandoah have gone over
until the June term, because of the post
ponement of the murder case growing out of
the riot.
The case of John A. Noe, the book agent,
charged with forgery, has been postponed in
order to allow the defendant to secure one of
his employers as witness
So many cases have been postponed until
the next term that it is expected the criminal
calendar will be cleared up this afternoon or
tomorrow at noon.
John Wythe, Mahanoy City newspaper
man, was tried before Judge Bechtel on the
serious charges of assault and battery with
intent to ravish, statutory rape and f. and b.,
on oath of Joseph Barker. He was sentenced
on the former charge to pay SIS fine, the
costs of prosecution and undergo is months
imprisonment, and received the usual
sentence for the latter charge.
John Dando was charged with assault and
battery on oath of William Motulavage, but
was found not guilty, and the costs were put
on the prosecutor.

American born citizens at Shenandoah
complain because the head of the Street
Department prefers to employ cheap foreign
labor on the streets.-NIiners' Journal. In
justice to Supervisor Llewellyn it should be
stated that there is not one word of truth
contained in the above clipping. As matter
of fact the records show that there were
sixty-six persons employed on the streets
during the past month, and Of that number
but two Of them were not naturalized. Tax
Collector Scanlan, who is in position to
know, says that during the term of the
present Supervisor he knows of only two
who have worked for the borough that were
not citizens; that all who applied for work
were accommodated. He knows of two men
who said they wanted to work out their taxes,
and said they could not get work, but upon
investigation it was shown they had not
applied to the Supervisor. Delinquent
taxpayers are given the preference. 1t is
utterly impossible to give employment to
every taxable in the borough and those who
do work receive $3.50 per day.
