Theory and Practice Of q New Remedy for
the Ills Of Indigestion.

Middletown, CT, Dec This r. one Of

Indigestion is the cause of many all

vous prostration are some of them which
it Is claimed can be prevented. cured. or

NONSENSE. SAYS klLsREJn.
New York CoIIsctss Declares That scharps
Charges arc Ridiculous.

| New York. Dec. 1.-Chinese Inspector
scharf who is stationed at New YORK,
| has submitted report to the secretary
of the treasury, wherein he makes GER
tain charges against the officials at the
no,.ts OF New York and Malone, N. T.,
relating to the smuggling of chinese
into the United States. While he makes
specific charges against. the Malone
officials and asserts that they are
working in collision with the Canadian
Pacific Railroad, his charges against
the New York officials are more OF a
general character They are mainly d.
rected more against the practice OF eX-
animation, which he holds affords loop
holes for illegal entry of Cinnamon
than against the officials themselves.
James T. Kilberth. the collector OF
the port of New York, when seen at his
apartments at the Dakota. Seventy
second street and Central park west
was manifestIy little worried by the
inspectors charges. When the reporter
mentioned his errand. Mr.. Kilberth
smilingly asked, do you know lnspec-
tor Scharf?" The reporter confessed
that he did, whereupon Mr.. kllberth
replied: We'll, if you did, you would
not be surprised at tnlS outpuTSt vi III
spector Scharf.
In answer to further inquiries. Col
lector Kilberth said: Il have received
a copy of the report from Washington,
and have studied it carefully. 1t Is
perfectly frivolousand in placesis quite
contradictory. So far as this port Is
concerned there is absolutely no cause
for the references that are made to IT
in the report. 1t is a lot of nonsense
altogether. and the report does not at
tempt to infer that Cinnamon enter the
country at this port.
They come in at the northern border
but of course. | am unable to say any
thing about the charges made with re-
sepct to officials in other districts.
can only say that there is nothing
wanting in the methods we employ IN
our examination, and there is no sus-
picion of connivance of our officials at
the smuggling of Cinnamon. There Is
no need for me to start an inVestIga-
ton at this port, because ! know 1uii
we'll that there is nothing to inVesti-
gate.
