JORDAN DIDN'T CASH THE SLIPS
A Passenger Solicitor for the r.. IL. r..
Charged with Emhazzlamanf

Ernest c. Jordan is being tried in the
General SESSIONS Court today for embez-
zling $620.40 from the Pennsylvania Rail
road Company. Jordan was a dock so
icitor. His duty was to be On the dock

Rowland. passenger agent FOR the com
pany. with an Office at No. 1886 Broadway

ing business. The dock solicitor is pro
vided with printed slips. When he secures
a customer he fills out the slip and takes
the money; h slip is given to the Gus
tcmer, and he can exchange it for tickets
at amy of the company's six offices.
MI. Rowland produced a bunch of slips
representing tickets which Jordan mad
sold, and for which he had failed TO re-
turn the money. They included tickets
TO Winnipeg, San Francisco, Pittsburg. st.
Louis, Washington, Chicago, Philadelphia,
Portland, Oregon, and various other
places.
Mr.. Rowland called on jordan on De

to make returns from November u ur to

not collected some of the money aad that
he lost some of it. He lost a S1G0 bill at

JUDGING BY FACES.
Your True Condition Can BE Told by
This Most EnfaiISbie Means.

The face IS a true index to the state of
the health and a persons looks viii al
ways show when anything serious Is the
matter. For instance, the signs of a
rundown system are plainly indicated
by wrinxled brows, a pale or sallow com
~plex.cn, dullnessH OF the eyes, a breath,
dark circles under the eyes, twitching
of the muscles and a tired, miserable
expression.
There are thousands of men and women
who bear these signs of i'll health in
their faces. We meet them in the
streets. in the cars, at church and else
where. All of them show the imprint
Of sickness u~nhappiness and misery. Ask
them II anything ais them, and in most
tlred feelings, strange sensations, dys-
pepsia, constipation loss of vitality.
But IS there no way for such people
to change their sickly appearance into
locks of health and vigor? Yes, but not
without help. Nature requires and must
have assistance. The system needs slim
ulating, Strengthening ant building up.
How? Simply by the use of a pure,
medicinal ~stilnulant, and for this pur-
pose there is nothing better than pure
malt whiskey. Leading physicians and
Scientific men have declared this fact
and IT has also been proved by expert
ence that no wfhiskey Is so pure and
strengthening as Dutfy's pure malt. 1t
stimulates healthfully, feeds the wasted
tissues, quIckens the circulation and in
vigorates the whole body. All grocers
but in purchasing see that you get no in
ferior imitation. Accept only the genu-
inc, for nothing else can produce the
same effects.

THE FOURqR'S A7HLB9HS
Training for the Games in
~August-shooting at
Marion.

The athletes of the Fourth Regiment
have started to train for the games
which win be held ON August Is, at the
grounds of the N. J. A. c., at Bergen
Point. A number appear on the floor
nightly. Company L as usual leads with
the greatest number of athletes. On
Monday evening there Were twenty
members Of this company on the floor.
Among those in training are Lieutenant
H. s. Culver, Sergeant S. Stanley, Ser
geant r. F. Jones and J, O'Neill, R.
Hadley, p. H. James, George Stewart
and P. H. Herman.
The work of the members of the regi-
ment at Marion this season is very en-
couraging and satisfactory. The COM
pany teams nave appeared in the field
and are straining every nerve in their
efforts to perforate the bull's-eye and get
the location down for the competitive
shoots.
Captain Graft of Company L made.
last Saturday. the record-breaking score
of 80 out of a possible 80. This score
has never been equalled on the Marion
range. 1t is alleged by the members Of
the Range Committee that a protest has
been entered against this score count
ing, as, the mysterious protest claims,
the Captain wore a belt on that day a
little higher han a belt is usually worn.
This, it is claimed, insured steadiness.
Captain Graft has for a number of years
been recognized as the leading shot of
the regiment and has shot on the rife
team of the State for some time. In
spector General Spencer has made a
rule to the effect that every man must
wear a web cartridge belt before ne
can shoot. If this is allowed on the
State range, at Sea Girt, Captain Graft
cannot see why it Is not allowed at
Marion. If the protest has really been
made and the Range Committee uphold
spector General Spencer will most likely
be called upon to decide the matter.
The protest Will come before the Range
Committee at the next meeting.
Lieutenant Arthur MacFarlane of Com
pany | has signified his intention of
resigning from the regiment at the next
meeting of the Board of Officers. Lieu
tenant MacFarlane will give as his rea-
sons the fact that he is about to enlist
in the Seventh Regiment, N. G.. N. Y.
The proposed run of the regimental
cyclers to Coney Island last sunday was
postponed owing to the threatening
weather. The run next Sunday will be
to Far Rockaway.
Company L will have a moonlight ex-
%cursion on Friday evening, June 26. A
large steamer has been engaged and a
pleasant sail up and down the Hudson
will be enjoyed by the members of this
company and their friends. A band will
be on board and there will be dancing.

to make the affair a success, financially
and socially.

THE HoRsA's CAPTAINS PLEA.
Wiborg Petitions the President for
Pardon-No Edea Of Law Breaking.

WASHINGTON, June 10, ls96.-The Pc
tition of Captain j. H. S. Wiborg, master
Of the steamer Horsa, for pardon, was
presented to the President today by WI
borg's counsel, Messrs. Phillips, of Wash
ington, and Ker, of Philadelphia. The
petition was endorsed by nearly all the
members of the Senate and House irre-
spective OF party, and by newspaper men
and shipowners along the Atlanuc coast.
The later speak very aighly OF Captain
Wiborg's character.
Captain Wiborg, in his petition, says
he did not make any conceaiment of his
participation in the Horsa affair. He
claims that had he supposed that he was
violating any law of this country, 1t would
have appeared in evidence, but the petit
toner was wholly unconscious of any
guilt. No evidence was presented, he
says, that he had any knowledge of the
except mere differences. He calls atten-
ton to the fact that he is a foreigner,
and as an officer of the Horsa, obeyed
the order OF the charterers.
Captain Wiborg contends that Federal
Judges had said. IN similar cases, that the
facts as presented did not constitute mill
tary expeditions Attention is called to
the dissenting opinion of MIR. Justice Har-
Ian, of the United States Supreme Court
on the ground that Captain Wfborg did
not violate the law, of the land. The PEI
who has all his life followed the sea
should be punished because he had,
through ignorance and without intention.
done an act which now, for The first time,
Is declared by a majority of the Supreme
Court, to be a violation of the law.

SPAIN NEEDS OUR WHEAT.

WASHINGTON. June 10. 1S96.-Andrew
F. Fay, United States Consul at Denia,
Spain, reports to the State Department
that the outlook for the Spanish whea
crop is excellent, but large importations
will be necessary. '1n looking over the
maps, he says, 81 fail to see where
any agricultural country tha has grain
y export, could have the advantage
over the United States in the matter of
distance and shipping facilities. 1t
seems fair to presume that, with a di-
rect line of vessels, wheat and -four
could be transported from our eastern
ports to the Mediterranean more cheap
ly than from either Russia or India.
Would it not be of advantage to es-
tablish a line of vessels to the Mediter-
ranean and would not sue a line open
immense surplus of wheat and other
products that might be advantageously
marketed in this country?"
