almost in the spot where his master had
fallen and died. The animal had been
dead several hours. How he came to die
is a mystery. NO one killed him-that is
certain. The beast may have starved to
death, and this seems the most probable
solution of the sudden and unexpected
death, inasmuch as the cat would take
no food after Casper died. The theory of
suicide was suggested. Others think that
he died Of a broken heart.

A COUNTERFEITER CAUGHT.
The Police of Syracuse Make an Inn
pOrtant Capture.

pOrtant Capture.
On Monday, the 18th, Harold Marqusee
of Utica, n. Y, was arrested In Syracuse,
NJ. Y, on a warrant sworn out by the Dr.
Williams Medicine Company, charging
him with forgery. on the 18th of Decem-
Der Marquisee visited photo-engraver in
Syracuse, saying he was the representa-
tive of the DR.. Williams Medicine Com
pany, and arranged for the making of
full set of plates for the direction sheets,
labels, etc, of the famous DR.. Williams
Pink Pills for Pale People News of this
reached the home office, and no time was
lost in arranging for his arrest when he
should return for the plates. He returned
on the 18th. and was accordingly arrest
ed, and is now In jail in Syracuse await
ing examination, which occurs on March
3D.
This arrest proves to be an important
one. In addition TO various plumber, such
as medical books. typewriters. rugs, etc.
found In Marquisees trunk when arrest
ed, the police also found counterfeit coin
both In the trunk and on his person; and
In a search Of his apartments at Utica
found complete outfit for counterfeiting
consisting of crucbles, bellows, Nickel
lead, bismuth, anthony, small
blacksmith forge. a charcoal furnace, and
several plaster-of.paris molds. The Uni
ted States marshals want him just as
soon as the DIR. Williams Medicine Com
pany are through with him, and, no doubt,
he win be sentenced for long period.
In selecting DR.. Williams Pink pills for
his counterfeiting operations, he showed
his knowledge of the proprietary medi-
cine business; for these pills are in such
great demand that they are easily sold
at any drug store in the United States
His scheme was to work the country
druggists and sell his limitations at a dis
count of from per cent. to per cent,
explaining the reduced price by the fact
that he had picked them up In small lots
and at a discount from dealers who were
overstocked. BY working fast and maxi
ing long jumps, he would have secured
many hundreds of dollars in a short time.
The proprletors of DR.. Williams Pink
Pills are most fortunate TO have caught
the rogue before he had fairly started,
and to have thus kept these spurious
goods out of the market.

ELECTRICITY The sTEVEDoRE.
Small Motors DO the work of Many
Men in Loading ships ANA in "a
Fraction of the Usual Time.

From the Pittsburg Dispatch.
A few years ago the idea of loading
ship with $500 tons OF -four In twenty-four
hours by means Of two small motors would
have been looked upon as absurd. This
was done the other day in Tacoma. Two
thousand tons of cargo have frequently
been loaded or unloaded In day by steam
power but the important factor In the
record-breaking achievement at Tacoma
was that the conveyer was worked by
electricity. With the apparatus which has
been designed for this purpose, flour and
grain can be loaded at any stage of the
tide, and independently of the weather. II
II should rain, Il canvas is quickly spread
from the door of the warehouse to the
ships hatch. with the system OF loading
ordinarily used eighteen men are required
to do the work of one electric conveyer,
with which the bags are delivered into a
ships hold at the rate of $500 to 27C0
pounds a minute of seventy-five tons an
hour. When extra speed is desired, two
conveyers are employed This was done
when the record of $500 tons in twenty
four hours was made.
The electric conveyer Is forty feet long
1t is moved at will on two wheels in the
center A twO-horse- power motor supplies
the power. the current being taken from
the nearest electric wires. The sacks are
placed on a revolving belt of rubber. which
passes over twelve wheels attached to the
side Of the apparatus. The rollers are
placed close enough together and the belt
revolves at sufficient speed to carry all
the weight in Hour or grain that can be
placed upon 1t. The conveyor works as
well when placed at an angle OF A degrees
as when on level.

IT STANDS THE TEST.
Among the Mass of Unworthy Prepa-
ratiOns There Is One That Stands
Pre-emfnent.


ratiOns There Is One That stands
Pre-eminent.
II is a well known fact that large per-
centage of WHISTLES upon the market and
in use to-day are simply cheap adultera-
tons. They may be called Straight
goods" blends" or any other name that
an INSCRIPTIONS manufacturer or dealer
chooses. but the fact remains that they
are simply connections and authorizations
which are injurious to any one who uses
them.
In the midst of this mass of unhealthful
whiskies there stands one bright excep-
ton. 1t has stood out clearly before the
public for twenty years. Its purity is
guaranteed by the best physicians in the
land, and II has done more to preserve
health than all the other WHISTLES COM
bined. 1t is Duffys pure malt whisky. It
has reputation established by twenty
years of use, and it has that reputation
ity, every bottle is precisely alike. Its
very purity renders II valuable, but il pos
sesses in addition thereto medicinal quail
ties known to no other whisky You make
no mistake in buying Duffy's pure malt,
but you. make an egregious error If you
allow any INSCRIPTIONS dealer for a mo-
ment to argue with you that any one of
the cheap adulterated WHISTLES that are
on the market Is as good as Duffy's. 1t is
false.
