On behalf of Mrs. Hamilton I Will say
that she feels that she cannot have a
fair and impartial examination at the

the acting coroner at the investigation
of this case and heard and considered
the testimony which was given, a
great deal of which was improper. Be

CHIEF CAUSE.

Unhealthy urine from unhealthy kidneys
is the chief cause of bladder troubles So
the womb like the bladder was created for
one purpose, and if not doctored too much
is not liable to weakness or diseased except
in rare cases, 1t is situated back Of and very
close to the bladder, therefore any pain,
disease or Inconvenience manifested in the
kidneys, back, bladder or urinary passage is
often by mistake attributed to female weak
ness or womb trouble of some sort The
error is easily made and may be as easily
avoided. To find out correctly, set you
urine aside for twenty-four hours; a sedi-

JUDGE WHITE, of Pittsburg, has
rendered a decision declaring Illegal
and void an ordinance recently passed
by Councils which requires that con
tractors on city work must employ no
men such as are members of labor
organizations The decision was in
the case of Eugene F. Elliot against
pittsburg. Judge White states that
under the state law city contracts
laust be given to the lowest bidder,
which requires free and open com
petition. He continues: Limiting
contractors to employ only a certain
class of workmen, regardless of quail
fications, prevents free and open com
petition. The city has no right to
say that the Building Trades Council
Of Pittsburg, and they only, shall
designate the workmen who may be
employed on any city work. That is
what this ordinance does.

Hundreds OF Families in Danger OF

Hundreds OF Families In Danger OF
Starving to Death.
Jacksonville. Fla. June 29-Urgent
appeals for aid are coming in from
that part Of Alachua county which was
devastated by the great hurricane Of
Sept. 20. The destitution appears to be
greater than at any previous time
since the catastrophe. Alachua county
is situated in the center Of the pen
insula. midway between Jacksonville
and Cedar Keys. A request for help
has been received from citizens of
Trenton, in which the following state
ments are made
while we most gratefully acknowl-
edge the generous assistance received
directly after our prosperous country
was almost devastated, still the pitiful
condition Of cur people inspires this
earnest appeal for help at this season.
Many families within our borders
are upon the verge of starvation-are
now subsisting upon dry bread, with
not even the hope of getting this sort
OF food when the present scanty sup
ply is exhausted
THE distressing cry for food Is heard
in almost every quarter. and unless
some speedy relief IS secured great suf-
ferng will be the terrible result. While
other aid is greatly needed. still we
shall only solicit the means upon which
life can subsist"
The relief committee at Gainesville
states that It is receiving a great many
earnest appeals for help and are power
less TO give much assistance. The
funds in the hands of the committee
have been exhausted. From another
source it is learned that the neces-
sity for immediate relief is very press
ing.

nPersnnnl Exnenses. ;,

There has been, within few days
at Harrisburg, a series of develop
lnents that reflect anything but credit
upon the members of the Legislature.
We refer to the extraordinary eX-
penses reported in connection with
the half score or more of investi-
eating committees appointed and
that acted during the session. There
is not a single newspaper in the state,
excepting the personal organs Of
some of the members, but what con
ieInns in the strongest terms those
members who give their approval to
bills Of expenses so manifestly fraudu-
lent as some of those in question ap-
pear to be.
To the discredit of Schuylkill be it
said, some of the representatives from
this county figured quite prominently
in these exorbitant charges. In the
light of recent events isit any wonder
that the Senator from this district
was so anxious to be named as amen
her of the Anthracite Investigating
Committee, and displayed much feel
ing because Of failure to be APP
pointed on the committee. There are
some members of the Legislature,
however, serving on investigating
committees who repudiate the bills
allowing them pay for personal ex-
penses" that were never incurred.
But this roll of honor" is limited to
five or six, and does not include the
name of single Schuylllill member
so far.
These gentlemen declared that they
had incurred no personal expenses,
had no knowledge that such claims
were to be made in their interest, and
demanded that the items be stricken
out of the bill. One member added
to the unhappiness Of the treasury
looters by declaring that these enor
nous charges for carriage hire,
'telegraphic dispatches telephone
service and personal expenses, 50
generally, were fictitious, and the re
suit will be a material cutting down
Of some OF these bills In one case
the item of 50 600 for the expenses OF
the sergeant was cut down to
81 800, and in another bill a similar
item of $1,000 was cut to $3.50,
The exposure will no doubt have a
beneficial effect. To be a member OF
an investigating committee Of any
kind was regarded as good for any
where from $500 to 80 500, but time.
have changed.
The legislative method of padding
out expense bills has attracted public
attention to the investigating mania
which has prevailed at this session OF
the Legislature. These amount to
$158, ,8O7.O7. In 1887 the average cost
OF an investigation amounted to only
$735. In 1897 the average personal
