a cOUNTERFEITER CAUGHT.
rhe Ponce Of syracuse Make 81 1mport

me FOACe OF syracuse make an Import.
ant Capture.
OnMonday the 18th, Harold Marduisee. OF
Utica, n. Y, was arrested in Syracuse, n.
Y, on q warrant sworn out by the DR..
Williams Medicine Co., charging him with
forgery. On the 18th of December Marqui-
see visited a p-hoto-engraver in Syracuse,
saying he was the representative of the DIR.
Williams Medicine Co, and arranged for
the making Of a full set of plates for the di-
rectlon sheets, tables, 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
arrested and is now in jail in Syracuse
awaiting examination.
This arrest proves to be an important one.
In addition to various plumber. such as
medical books, typewriters, rugs, etc,
found In Marquisee's trunk when arrested,
the police also found counterfeit coin both
in the trunk and on his person: and in
q search of his apartments at Utica found
a complete outfit for counterfeiting con-
slstlng OF cruclbles, bellows, nickel, lead,
blsmuth, antimony, a small blacksmith
forge, a charcoal furnace, and several
plaster-of-paris molds. The United States
marshals want him just as soon as the DR..
Williams Medicine Co. are through with
him, and, no doubt, he will be sentenced
for a long period.
In selecting DR.. Williams Pink Pills for
his counterfeiting operations, he showed
his knowledge of the proprietary medical
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 discount of from . per
cent to S 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 over-stocked. BY work
ing fast and making long jumps, he would
have secured many hundreds of dollars in
a short time. The proprietors Of DR.. Will
liams' Pink Pills are most fortunate to
have caught the rogue, before he had fair
ly started, and to have thus kept these
spurious goods out of the market.

MoLAssEs IS GOING OUT.
fhe D%istilleries Get Most of It and

b Distilleries Get Most Of 1t and
Housekeepers Are Dlsconsolate.
"The old-fashioned molasses is rapid
" disappearing as an article of COM
nerce," said a prominent grocer to a
Chattanooga News reporter, land in
its place have come costly and by no
means satisfactory substitutes, es-
oecially to the little ones, who delight,
as we did when We were young, in hav-
ing 'lasses on their bread. Most of the
molasses goes into the distilleries,
where it is made into rum, for which,
Notwithstanding the efforts Of u
Temperance workers, the demand is
constantly on the increase, especially
n the New England states and for the
export trade. The regular drinker of
rum will take no other liquor in its
place if he can help it. 1t seems to
reach the spot more directly than any
other dram. The darker brown sugars
have also disappeared, and they are
never likely to return, owing to the
methods of boiling and the manufac-
ture. G~ranulated sugar is of the same
composition, as far as saccharine quail
ties are concerned, as loaf, cut loaf,
cube and crushed, and differs from
them only in that it's crystals do not
cohere. This is because it is constant
ly stirred during the process of crystal
lization. The lighter brown sugars
taste sweeter than the white, for the
reason that there is some molasses
left in them. Housekeepers have diff
fculty in these days in finding coarse,
dark sugars which are always pre-
ferred for use in putting up sweet
pickles, making cakes and similar uses.
AS they cannot get brown sugar any
more it may be we'll for them to re-
member that they can simulate brown
sugar by adding a tablespoonful of
molasses to each quarter of a pound of
the white granulated sugars. This COM
bination does as we'll in all household
recipes that call for brown sugar. as
the article itself, and besides, it saves
them a great deal Of hunting for brown
sugar, which, as said before, has dis
appeared from the market"

Smoking Meat Without Fire.

1t may sound absurd to make a state
ment about smoking meat without a fire"
for it is a we'll known saying that where
there is smoke there must be fire. The
advance of science, however, has made
this idea obsolete, and today with the use
of Krausers' Liquid Extract of Smoke it is
possible to quickly, economically and sue
cessfully smoke meat without a fire. This
liquid extract is made by distilling the
smoke from hickory wood and is absolute
ly harmless. In fact, meat smoked by this
method has a genuine smoke flavor, re-
mains moist and soft, and is not infested
with insects. Every objection of the old
method is overcome, every trouble ended
and the unsightly and dangerous smoke
house is a thing of the past. Krausers'
Liquid Extract Of Smoke long ago passed
the age of experiment, and thousands are
using it today with profit and satisfaction.
BY writing E. Krauser & Bro, Milton, Pa,
those who are interested can secure free Of
charge instructive printed matter about
methods of curing and smoking all kinds
of meats.

Japan Z Up.

Japan's Industrial awakening, about
which some manufacturers in this
country appear to be alarmed, is re-
sponsible for the closing up Of an old
time industry at Milford, Conn. For a
considerable period a big straw mating
mandatory was in operation in that
place. A short time ago it was deter
mined to remove the entire plant and
business to Kobe, Japan, where labor
and raw material are tc be obtained
at an enormous discount from the rates
prevailing in Connecticut. Last week
the final step in the removal was taken,
and the Milford industry was closed
out. The mating syndicate will, Of
course, sell it's product in the American
markets as heretofore.

this lies in the fact that the French

The well-dressed American woman will
spend twice as much every year upon
her gloves as the French woman will

the American woman is fast learning

wearing, says the Chattanooga News.

on, for there is much in the first put
ting on of a glove. If it is stretched
and twisted in the fitting it will never
look elegant again. Loose, thick gloves
are the only ones that are considered
fashionable for street wear. The most
popular shade just new is a reddish

dressy wear the glove fits closer, is

finish is worn exclusively BY" the mod

Every citizen of ST. John, Kansas, is &C

he had found relief. meeting him on the
street recently, asked if he wouldn give
him all the facts, as he was Interested, as
We're also all his friends. Mr.. Risk said he
was only too glad to let the people in GEN
eral and his old comrades in particular (who
he knew We're suffering from complaints
similar to his) know Whatllad benefited him.
He then made the following statement:

Industrial Progress in Russio.

Russia Is very great. Six castor oil
factories, all working from native
grown seed, were represented Mt the
exhibition, and oils of peppermint,
wormwood, caraway, fennel, anisc and
pine needles were also shown The
output of Russian benzine has grown

100000 gallons in 1894 The petro-
