Court Etscuetta.

The delicate distinctions of court Ell
quette are too many to be fathomable by
as simple republicans, but they are not
without degree of interest. For exam
pie, at the drawing room recently held
by the Princess Of Wales for the queen,
the royal state carriage was sent for the
princess, but if she had been merely at
tending the function as an assistant she
would have gone in her own carriage.
Since she represented the queen she
must ride in the queen s carriage New

DON'T STOP TOBACCO.
How to Cure Yourself While
Using Ii,

The tobacco habit grows on a man un-
til his nervous system is seriously affect
ed, impairing health, comfort and happi-
ness. To quit suddenly is too severe a
shock to the system, as tobacco to an in
veterate user becomes stimulant that
his system continually Graves. "Raco-
euro" is scientific cure for the tobac-
co habit, in all its forms, carefully COM
pounded after the formula of an emf
nent Berlin physician who has used it in
his private practice since 1872, without a
failure. 1t is purely vegetable and guar
anteed perfectly harmless. You can use
all the tobacco you want while taking
"Raco- Curo. 1t will notify you when
to stop. We give written guarantee to
cure permanently any case with three
boxes, or refund the money with 10 per
cent interest. "Baco- euro, is not sub
stitute, but scientific cure, that cures
without the aid of viii power and with
no inconvenience. 1t leaves the system
as pure and as free from nicotine as the
day you took your first chew or smoke.

AN OBJECT LESSON.

The granting of licenses to sell liquor TO
such places as that in which the race riot
occurred Monday evening makes the average
citizen disgusted with the system as it is in
vogue in Schuylkill county, and when the
trial of the cases which originated in this
place come up before court the character Of
the place will be brought out in its true light.
Protests were made on behalf of the citi-
zens of the town at the last license court
against the granting Of any more licenses,
by two of the most respected citizens of the
town, upon the ground that there were
already too many here, but the Judges saw
fit to disregard this protest, although Shen-
andoah had l23 retail licenses, or one to every
liG men, women and children in town,
estimating our population at 5000, and added
10 more TO the number making one tavern
TO every 1856 persons. Can any intelligent
person for a moment maintain that SO many
places are necessary TO supply Intoxicating
LIQUORS, in view of the fact that licenses are
being transferred at every term Of court
because, in most cases, the holders are unable
10 make livingY Is it any wonder that
illegitmate practices are INDUCED in and 50
many drunken men are to be seen on
Sundays?
The license law makes tile Judges Of oul
courts the guardians Of the public welfare
in this particular line, and how they eau
reconcile it with their sense Of justice Ia
grant licenses to resorts like the one which,
in this case, has caused trouble, (which, aside
from its moral aspect will cost the taxpayers
hundreds if not thousands Of dollars is
more than we can understand.
1t is no justification to say the applicant
was youched for by respectable citizens, as
so-ealled respectable citizens are to be found
in every community whose moral ideas are
very lax and permit them to youeh fol

A Protest Agninst Colombln.

NEW YORK, April l5.-Copies of the pro-
test made before United States Consul J.
l. Pearcey, at Colon, by Captain John
Hendricks, of the American schooner
George w. Whitford, which was seized by
the Colombian gunboat Cordova off Man
zanillo Point on March 81, have been re-
ceived in this city. Captain Hendricks
declares the schooner had complied with
all the regulations of the port from which
she sailed, but AYERS that the officer OF the
Cordoya who boarded him threatened to
sink his ship, with the Stars and Stripes
hying from the masthead, unless She
started to return TO Colon in fifteen min
utes. Leopold Schepp, a cocoanut dealer
OF this city, who owns the Whitford, SAYS
the trouble was caused by Spanish com
petltors for his trade, who have political
influence with the Colombian government.

PRESIDENT WAKEFIELD has sent us the new
catalogue Of the well-known institution
Lafayette college. 1t shows an attendance
of 3O5 students who are nearly equally
divided between the technical courses in en-
gineerng and chemistry, and the old cuIri-
culum Of classical studies. Both departments
appear TO be well maintained. Marked
attention is given to American history and
political sciences. The courses in literature
and in engineering are detailed with great
distinctness. The Faculty Of Lafayette is
composed Of experienced and able instructors,
and the courses Of study are very thorough.
Numerous prizes and honors await the sue
cessful student. For healthlulness and beauty
of location this institution is remarkable.
The expenses are moderate in all cases, ard
a student who desires to be economical can
get along on an extremely small sum. Clar-
ence d. Crobaugh, of town, is student at
this college.

which May Result in the Death of Two
of the Participants.
NEW YORK, April l5--About a month
ago Maria Gentili and Salvador Grimaldi
became enamored of each other in Naples,
and came to America. They went to
Brooklyn, TO the home of Grimaldrs
brother Carmino. MARITIME Gentili the
brother of the girl arrived here from Bos-
ton yesterday and met his sister and her
lover. There was lively interview, but
finally the Grimaldi brothers and Gentili
came out of the house together, the trouble
having been in some degree smoothed
over. Last night, however, it was re-
newed, and Salvador De Pasqualo endeav-
ored to act as mediator.
A fight resulted, in which Gentili was
shot in the breast by Carmino Grimaldi,
while De Pasqualo received ten stab
wounds eight in the body and two in the
head, at the hands of Gentili. Carmino
Grimaldi was shot twice, it is declared, by
Gentili. The other Grimaldi made his es-
cape The fight caused so much excite
ment that the police reserves were called
out in order to prevent a battle between
the Italian factions The men were taken

stated that Gentili and De Pasqualo are
mortally wounded. 1t was thought that

Why were the protests of our citizchs dis

the number of cases coming before them at

THE TRANsvAAL ENDANGERED.
EepOrts That the Natives Are Preparing
to Rise Along the border.

W AhA7t fAANhE tAih hbAhtNs
CAPETowN April 15-News has been
received here that the natives are prepar-
ing TO rise along the Transvaal border. A
rising in northern Transvaal itself is also
reported to be imminent. There is some
thing of a panic manifest among the
burghers, who have appealed for arms
with which to protect themselves. The
threatened spread Of the disturbance along
the Transvaal border makes the situation
at Buluwayo and in Matabele much more
serious The authorities have felt that
Buluwayo was reasonably safe if the food
supply should hold out, but the danger
has been that the Matabeles would stop
the wagon roads Though the Matoppo
hills and to the south, and thus prevent
supplies from getting through from Mafe-
king.
1t is believed that the white settlers
scattered through Matabeleand are in
places of safety by this time, in Buluwayo
or Gwelo, and the missionaries do not feel
that they run any risk from the natives to
whom they are known, though there
might be danger from strange wandering
bands.
Only a part of the 500 reinforoements
designed for Buluwayo have been dis
patched from Mafeking, the nearest point
available for that purpose 1t takes four
weeks hard travelling by OK wagons to
reach Buluwayo from there, and it is said
that the journey cannot be done in that
time except with very light loads. Trans
portation of supplies of ammunition,
which are needed at this time in Ma tabele-
land, must therefore be slow, and the new
developments in the situation threaten to
cut off, or at least to interrupt comm uni
cation between Buluwayo and tho only
source TO which it can look for a renewal
of its supplies.
1t has been discovered that some of the
Matabeles who are employed as servants at
Buluwayo have been acting as spies and
conveying information of the movements
of expeditions to their friends in outlying
districts. One of these traitorous natives
was shot yesterday.

Great Britnin Yields a Point.

LONDON, April 15,-The select committee
of the house of commons on the rule of
the road at sea- by vote of 6 to 3, has
adopted the chairman's report in favor of
Rule 10, suggested by the Washington
conference dealing with sound fog signals
This was the rule upon which centered the
main objection of British shipowpers and
navigators to the series of rules of the
road recommended by the Washington
conference and which led to the with
drawal of the British government from
the agreement ON these rules.
